A recap of the days news. Its always the same counties. In other places, its ohio. Theyre pretty good at it. Were at 66 here, the early votes came in, this was blue at first, now its gone, back to its dna. If you look at any map in america. Heres the city, out here is red, and look at the margins, 70 . 67 . You move away from the cities, youre in republican country. You come down to the suburbs the republican incumbent won this race. Danny oconnor has done what he needs to do. As you move a little more away, affluent republicans here some of them like trump, some like the tax cut. This is now your tug of war in Todays Republican Party playing out in an affluent suburban county here. Is winning that by 53 enough. Its not necessarily a fair comparison, because its a not only did he win by 11 points. We should underscore this is a district that has not had a democratic representative in almost 40 years, before you were born, don. I wish. It really is remarkable. And the answer to why its
To end. Inside politics, the biggest stories sourced by the best reporters now. Welcome to inside politics. Im john king. Thanks for sharing your sunday morning. President trump is mad, and he is lashing out. In a stunning series of tweets saturday morning, mr. Trump accused his predecessor, president obama, of wire tapping the phones at trump tower during last years campaign. The president offered no evidence nor have his aides since the remarkable tweet storm. Its described by a mix of aides, advisers and friends and angry and very frustrated after a week that started well. Remember his big speech to tuesday and then spiraled out of control. Acknowledged meetings with Russian Ambassadors after months and his team denying any such contacts and, of course, there was this. I have now decided to recuse myself from any existing or future investigations of any matter relating in any way to the campaigns for president. United states. I feel like that i am i should not be involved in investi
Him enough to call him an excellent guy when he introduced him to the Washington Post march 2016. Listen to this. George papadopolous, hes an oil and energy consultant, excellent guy. All of a sudden a few people knew. Theres papadopolous at the same table as the president now and also the current attorney general jeff sessions. Not exactly the couffee boy described by a white house ally this morning. Kaitlan collins at the white house. The white house strategy very clear, diminish, deny, attack, kaitlan. And distance, john. They are certainly trying to downplay the role that George Papadopolous played when he was a Foreign Policy adviser to the campaign. We heard directly from the president on this morning. We had not heard from him himself since the news of papadopolous pleading guilty had broken yesterday, but this morning he said that fake news is working overtime as Paul Manaforts lawyer said, there was no collusion, and events mentioned took place long before he came to the campa
Off other women beyond Stormy Daniels for trump and giuliani didnt stop there. He also had quite a few things to say about the Mueller Probe and trump owes strategy going forward. Are you confident the president will not take the fifth in this case . How could i ever be confident of that . When im facing a situation with the president and all the other lawyers are in which every lawyer in america thinks he heed be a fool to testify, it ive got a client who wants to testify. Please, dont he said it yesterday, and, you know, jay and i said to ourselves, my goodness, you know, i hope we get a chance to tell him the risk that hes taking. Well, lets get right to cnns Boris Sanchez at the white house. Boris, we also learned and heard from giuliani about what would happen if mueller subpoenaed the president as well as his thoughts on president ial seen from the president s legal team before when it comes to discussing this special counsel. My colleague dana bash spoke with Rudy Giuliani short
Be called the trump doctrine. In 60 minutes last night he said bad actions, up to and including murder dont matter as long as they dont happen to americans. Do you agree that Vladimir Putin is involved in assassinations, in poisonings . Probably he is, yeah. Probably. Probably . Probably but i rely on them. Its not in our country. But why not they shouldnt do it. This is a terrible thing. Of course they shouldnt do it. The president also said he trusts the north korean leader, kim jongun, personal friendship with kim, excuses for russia and saudi arabia. Are these the issues of a trump doctrine. Lets start with the khashoggi mystery, if you want to call it that. In this tweet the president , in effect, saying he accepts the saudi leaders denial here, similar to how he was with Vladimir Putin and election interference. Reporter thats right, jim. Weve been hearing a lot from President Trump the last few days about this. He has been kind of all over the map in terms of how forcefully he w
