Lesser sentence, but it plays a stunning role about what the president s own lawyer was doing. i think it s worth reading it. i think it s worth reading because it s unredacted. i defer. the verbatim from this voicemail so that everybody knows what the president s lawyer was telling michael flynn. here it is. it wouldn t surprise me if you ve gone on to make a deal with the government. if there s information that implicates the president, then we ve got a national security issue. so, you know, we need some kind of heads up. um, just for the sake of protecting all our interests if we can. remember what we ve always said about the president and his feelings towards flynn, and that still remains. i mean, listen, i can t hear the inflection, but the words and the ums and the suggestions here, it just sounds like a strange voicemail to leave. and remember john dowd was the president s lawyer who was caught talking to another one of the president s legal team
Chocolate cake, xi jinping and the next day no problem. in the case of iran you can t quite do that and trump is aware of that. i do think bolton is leading trump. bolton would be very happy to have iran get wrapped on the knuckles really hard and have america look strong with the you had a geez, the emirates and others. trump would not be happy with that and that s where i think the divide is. big change of gears to this reporting about michael flynn. unredacted legal filings give us a new insight into what was going on just before michael flynn cut a deal with robert mueller s team. there s a transcript of a conversation inside the mueller report which gets into the fact that flynn s team was called by john dowd and it basically told you need to share with us any information that the mueller team is asking us about. by the way, the president loves michael flynn. we knew that, that was in the mueller report. what s new what s new is this unredacted filing from joifr night which sa
Reports that leaders in tehran thought an attack from the u.s. was coming and that they were preparing for a counter strike. the u.s. thought iran was preparing an attack leading the trump administration to boost their military presence in the middle east. joining us now kaitlan collins cnn white house correspondent and ian bremmer president of the eurasian group. i want to start with this wall street journal reporting. it s either the guns of august or gift of the image jie. two misunderstandings that could be dangerous. intelligence collected by the u.s. government shows iran s leaders believed the u.s. was about to attack them prompting possible counter strikes. that view of the intelligence could help explain why iranian forces and their allies took action that was seen as threatening to u.s. forces in iraq and elsewhere prompting a u.s. military buildup in the persian gulf region and draw down of u.s. diplomats in iraq. yeah, we wanted them to do something. i mean, the old sta
Expertise and the kind of support that gives you credible information about these decisions. in my state of california the farmers are hurting. we have nuts, we have wines, we have products that many of our businesspeople depend on and it does job creation. so i don t think that the president has approached this in a way that is good for this country. the price of goods coming in from china are going to go up for our consumers. i think that if he wants to do a real trade or change trade, he needs to be in negotiations. he needs to talk about what makes good sense for this country and our businesses. i think the bluffing is over and china retaliated because they know he is a bluffer now. thank you so much for coming on new day. you re welcome and thank you. the company that administers the s.a.t. exam making a major change to try to level the
Stuck with it, it was hurting the iranian economy but not enough to move them and so they were waiting trump out. everybody in the administration knew that. so as a consequence the u.s. had to continue to escalate to either get, you know, all of the other countries to back away from iran and show that they are not going to help, but also to get the iranians to move away from the deal. is it the u.s. that escalated not iran that escalate snd. we ve escalated all the way through. we had a limited nuclear deal under obama, we pulled out, that s an escalation. okay. nobody moved and then we continued to push. i mean in the past ten days. some of the intelligence or at least what we ve been told is that it was iran that was escalating. they were moving missiles on to a boat. look, i mean, there is he a always going to be a misjudgment when you talk about the u.s. and iran for us the most important date in history is 1979 when you had the revolution, they occupy our embassy. for
