Thank you so much for joining us tonight. Those in a news night with abby, phillip starts right now the headlines you might have missed about Donald Trumps second term plans lets tonight on new side good evening im abby phillip in new york tonight. The final countdown to Closing Arguments and trumps Hush Money Trial is on summations are set for next tuesday and then the judge will hand this case off to the jury. Those 12 men and women are charged with deciding whether the former president remains a free man. It is a heading decision, but no less consequential than the one that every Day Americans will face in november. Now virtually every word uttered in that courtroom, every movement by the judge, the jury, the defendant, scrutinized, dissected but outside of the courtroom, trump has given the country plenty of
helping write the note on sawing to help doctor jr. out saying it was about adoptions rather than dirt on hullry and hot he did and knowledge he has of that. and other information from the white house about things he did to possibly obstruction of justice. and things he might have said about james comey why he wanted sessions fired or just all the things he might have said about his activities with russia and with obstructing the investigation and trueing to get rid of sessions, comey, etc. and saturday night massacres. not saturday night live, saturday night massacres that lived in his brain. hope hicks is one of five aids formerly subpoenaed by your committee. do you expect others to testify? they might. i was surprised hope hicks came through. he s go having to an attorney that will probably object to a
with russia and with obstructing the investigation and trueing to get rid of sessions, comey, etc. and saturday night massacres. not saturday night live, saturday night massacres that lived in his brain. hope hicks is one of five aids formerly subpoenaed by your committee. do you expect others to testify? he s go having to an attorney that will probably object to a lot of the questions based on whatever privileges and we ll challenge in time. but their attorneys thought it was best for them to testify. thank you. we appreciate it so much. thank you, don. democrats outraged by the president s comments tonight but from the gop, crickets. will republicans ever stand up to the man leading their party? you can ask former congressman charley dent next. this is the ocean.
potentially that could happen, he could bring somebody in, test the water on murky grounds that he already knows, wink, wink, that is going to rein in the investigation. if he does, and again we re playing this hypothetical land right now, but if he were to fire the deputy attorney general, how would that not further a case for obstruction because you re cutting out the guy looking into you and your people? think about 1973 and the saturday night massacres when president nixon tried to do exactly this, where he tried to fire archibald cox, the special counsel looking into watergate. he said to his first guy, hey, fire archibald cox, he s getting too close to me in watergate. first guy says no, attorney general, second guy says no and resigns. two resigned. third guy says i better just do it. that then became judge bourque he wasn t a judge at the time but worked for nixon.
president was going to make a significant speech next week and when we are out of d.c., he was going to fire robert mueller. zble of course e . of course he didn t do it, but the new york times is reporting he is. here s what your colleagues are saying about the situation right now. the president has the ability to do that, but i don t see him doing that. i don t think he s going to be removed. i think he would be allowed to finish his job. i hope they re right. if the president takes this road not followed by others, i think he will reap the consequences and saturday night massacres happen some degrcades ago. if he chooses to do it midweek, it s still going to be a massacre for him as well.
