Ominous for several trump figures in the russia probe and they come as trump used this bizarre and rambling press conference, even by 2019 standards, to claim a National Emergency at the border while also undermining himself. Thats a story i mentioned with chuck and well cover it later on tonight. We begin with todays ruler against trumps longtierm adviser roger stone. It goes against his ability to make this case in public. This federal judge finding mueller won the arguments for a partial gag order. That means it bans stone and his lawyers from public remarks that would prejudice jurors as well as even talking at all when they come and go from the court. Anyone watching stones recent conduct knows that will require him to change gears or go to jail. Because roger stone has been doing those exact things since being indicted for witness tampering, talking in front of the court, doing media tours and likening the fbi to, quote, nazi police in these media appearances. Thats the kind of t
No one spared as the president went into furious attack mode, over two hours. Weve got reaction and fallout, next. Trump, who is the most dangerous president in modern american history. Kickoff rally. Bernie sanders officially launches his 2020 bid, but will his new message rise above the crowd . Pardon me . A new report suggests lawmakers could be looking at another aspect of Michael Cohens dealings with donald trump, and could it mean more trouble for the president . Developing this morning, new fallout after the president let loose in the longest speech of his presidency, 2 hours, 2 minutes and 26 seconds, if youre counting. The president rilling up the sympathetic crowd at the nations top gathering of conservatives. It was mostly offscript, a stream of consciousness soliloquy after a bruising week at home and abroad that included no deal after his muchtouted summit with north korea, bipartisan criticism after siding with kim jongun on the death of an american student, a New York Ti
Four of them join me live for an exclusive interview. All of that is ahead on what we think will be a different kind of show. But we begin with the story that could overshadow everything donald trump is doing across the globe. His former lawyer, Michael Cohen, has begun a marathon week of capitol hill testimony. A source telling nbc cohen is spilling on quote, criminal conduct, while trump was in office. I can tell you at this hour, Michael Cohen is in the tenth hour of his workday which is a closed door meeting with the senators on the intelligence committee. And thats of course the first of three consecutive days of testimony. Cohen arriving at a secure facility inside the u. S. Senate before 9 00 a. M. You see him there, walking in, escorted by lanny davis, his adviser and lawyer youve seen on this show among others. He was facing were told skeptical lawmakers, particularly since this is the very committee he now confesses he lied to in 2017. Thats what it looks like when a senator
Has a plan ready if the new attorney general bill barr decides to shelf the official investigations reports and results. We will obviously subpoena the report. We will bring bob mueller in to testify before congress. We will take it could court if necessary and in the end i think the department understands theyre going to have to make this public. I think barr will ultimately understand that as well. All right. So the president s former aide steve bannon, you may remember him, is saying this could be dire consequences for the nation as it heads into 2020. Weve allowed the democrats because they take control of the house to weaponize a whole bunch of investigations. Theyve, theyre going to be able to weaponize the Mueller Report. 2019 will be quite vitriolic. All comes as the former fixer Michael Cohen is prepared to testify before a trio of congressional committees this week, some in the open. Revealing his time with trump and the trump organization. You saw the schedule there for what
Too. This was a real triple whammy. This is worth watching. I think it would be funny if i got a private a block of the rachel show. If you hide under my desk for any 15 Second Period of time, i mumble enough to get most of it out. Thank you, my friend. Thank you at home for joining us. This is one of those fridays. Theres a triple whammy going on. Theres a lot of different types of news that were watching tonight. For example, we are still getting in new reporting tonight about the mass shooting that took place today in aurora, illinois. What we know now is at least five people dead, multiple others injured from this mass shooting that took place at a manufacturing plant in aurora, illinois. Keeping in mind that initial reports from major Mass Shootings are often later revised in terms of our factual understanding of what happened. With that caveat, i should tell you that preliminarily reports make it seem what happened here is a single shooter, a 45yearold man. He was ultimately kill
