this community know what i m talking about. he is just so happy to be around vladimir putin that vladimir putin on day one, after the united states gave an invitation through secretary bolton, or, i m sorry, national security adviser bolton for the president to invite vladimir putin to the united states. the russians demurred. then within four 48 hours, the russians pulled a chain and said, no, we d like him to come to washington. he jumped on it. he s a former kgb officer, he knows how to get everything out of trump and whichever meeting happens it is going to be framed in russia s narrative for russia s benefit. not ours. malcolm nance, good to see you. coming up, democratic voters are angry and energyized but will it be enough to take back the house and the senate? but before the break, it s all about michael cohen s take
his son to cancel the meeting. he did not tell the fbi about the meeting. and if anything, he further encouraged and emboldened the russians to hack. because he went out just about a month and a half after the meeting and said, russia if you re listening which is two years ago from today as you pointed out you would be rewarded for hacking hillary clinton s e-mails. let s go to kelly o connell in new jersey also joining us u.s. congressman danny heck of washington and glenn kushner. first to you, kelly in berkeley heights, new jersey not too far where the president is spending the weekend at the bedminster resort. i want to talk about the ten different ways we ve counted that the president has refused to answer questions on camera regarding cohen in that 2016 trump tower meeting in the month of june. are we hearing any feedback from
oh, my god, i m afraid i got to get away from this. as kelly o., a lot of different captions to that mine was just awkward. let s talk about the 2016 trump tower meeting in the month of june and the allegations that michael cohen is putting out there saying, look, donald trump, our president, then candidate, knew in advance about this meeting. right. both cohen and donald trump, jr. have testified before your committee. i know you can t confirm or deny. you know i can t. and won t as well. but what are your thoughts on this? so, i think the walls are closing in. i said that to you, i think, a week or so ago. this is yet another proof positive that the investigation is getting closer and closer in many regards. the fact of the matter is this is donald trump s worst nightmare, it s not just this revelation or allegation because it s yet to be corroborated but it s the fact there are 99 additional tapes into the one that was revealed this week.
chief and blake, first, you have giuliani there on the attack and reports that president cohen are dead to each other now. and taking the mueller probe as the president s biggest problem, he s got to focus on michael cohen, what he might do if he turns? yeah, i mean, trump said the other day it was like a betrayal from his son. and, you know, we ve heard that trump hasn t treated cohen very well for years. and maybe the bill is coming due for that. it certainly seems like it s very bitter feud right now. and i think there are reasons to be worried from what i hear from the white house. they are much more worried about the seventh district of new york probe than the mueller probe. they have more sense of what s coming from bob mueller s team than from new york. it looks like cohen keep lobing he s grenades into the news cycle and i think it s scaring the white house. do you think it s the smartest thing for the trump team to do, steph, to go after
surprising especially given how many department stores and large companies have stopped holding the line that i vvanka decided end it. and all of the products not made here in the united states. very good to see you both. coming up, president trump former fixer michael cohen gets aggressive. what does he know? and what is he willing to tell robert mueller? i tried cold turkey, i tried the patch. they didn t work for me. i didn t think anything was going to work for me until i tried chantix. chantix, along with support, helps you quit smoking. chantix reduced my urge to smoke. i needed that to quit. when you try to quit smoking, with or without chantix, you may have nicotine withdrawal symptoms. some people had changes in behavior or thinking, aggression, hostility, agitation, depressed mood, or suicidal thoughts or actions with chantix. serious side effects may include seizures, new or worse heart or blood vessel problems,
