Versus Lindsey Graham 2016. I think hes a kook. When all in starts right now. This is kookland. Good evening from new york, im chris hails. Right now at this very moment the senate is debating the mostambitious rewrite of the tax code in over three decades. And nobody, and i mean nobody, knows precisely whats in the bill. Or what exactly it would do. In a session on the floor, om lawmakers scrambling to get legislation passed before it can see the light of day, before anyone can figure out whats in it. Adding to the urgency is the increasingly unhinged behavior of the president of the United States, whose pen they still need to sign a tax bill into law. This bill that theyre debating right now, that they plan to vote on tomorrow, is why, for the past year and a half, republicans have chosen to tolerate Donald Trumps destabilizing, dangerous conduct. Nothing hes done has outweighed the singular goal of getting this thing passed. Not his bragging about committing Sexual Assault backed up

Nothing hes done has outweighed the singular goal of getting this thing passed.

Intelligence committee or deference to Vladimir Putin or mounting evidence his campaign tried to collude with
Emboldened donald trump might try to sideline Jeff Sessions and appoint one that wont shy away from the russia probe. And adam schiff is going to speak in a few moments about that story. And of course, you have seen the pictures by now, students doing this important work that they say adults are not doing. Taking the lead on gun control. And ill be joined by a Florida Republican who voted for those none gun control these sures tonight. We also have a story that we broke exclusively on the beat last night. What roger stone said about meeting Julian Assange during the campaign. But we begin with where politics now, Democrat Conor Lamb seems to be the undisputed winner, beating siccone by just a few points. If it is truly a wakeup call, isnt it also a wakeup call for the role the president should play from your opinion in the upcoming midterms . Look, i think the president helped close this race, i think you saw the public polling, and i think the president came in and got the race to whe
It is a question campaign chief Paul Manafort has faced before. Theres been some questions about something in the Republican Party platform that essentially changed the Republican Partys view when it comes to the ukraine. How much did you have to do with changing that language, sir . I didnt. Its been said it came from the campaign. The new focus is on manafort, not just from a journalistic line of questioning. As in a different story, the white house scrambling to push back against these credible New York Times reports, that trump recently, the recent ousted lawyer john dowd, i want to be clear, dowd is denying this story.

Its unusual for the government to subpoena somebodys lawyer, period. I mean if you have watched one episode of perry mason, you know how weird this is. When lawyers and their clients talk to each other, those communica

If some americans dont realize how powerful and far reaching this company is, the Trump Campaign certainly did. Its the Trump Campaigns digital firm that was caught now in this hidden data scandal, showing how they use social media to push entrapment and lies and it was only after facebook went public
