To include trumps finances. But mueller has a broad mandate to investigate and according to nbcs own reporting, hes working to follow the money wherever it leads. Trumps red line comment has led to speculation that he may be fearing up to fire mueller. But even with mueller gone, that wouldnt be the end of the investigations into whether trump colluded with russia. Theres still multiple congressionalel investigation and theres plenty of money and debt for there to follow. Like a 17 million debt Paul Manafort owed to prorussian interests before joining the Trump Campaign as chairman last ma. Or the debt Jared Kushner and his family took on to buy the building at 666 fifth avenue in 2007. Well, next week kushner, man forlt and donald trump jr. Might have to explain all of that and more to the senate, but not to the publicly. Kushner is scheduled to be interviewed by the Senate Intelligence committee in a closed door session on monday. Then hed go back to capitol hill on tuesday to speak
Washington post that u. S. Spy agencies intercepted conversations in which russias then am bassor to the United States, Sergei Kislyak allegedly told his superiors in moscow that he discussed campaign related matters, including policy issues important to moscow, with Jeff Sessions during the 2016 president ial race. Now if accurate that would directly contradict public assertions made by sessions like this one. Let me be clear. I never had meetings with russian operatives or russian intermediaries about the trump campaign, and the idea that i was part of a continuing exchange of information during the campaign between trump surrogates and intermediaries for the russian government is totally false. In a statement sessions spokesperson said the attorney general stands by his testimony last month that he never had any conversations with russians concerning any type of interference with any campaign or election. Now this latest scoop by the Washington Post has some really interesting timin
Down after trump appoints Anthony Scaramucci as Communications Director. Garrett tenney joins us live, and what more have we learned about the shakeup . Reporter President Trump hasnt been pleased with his Communications Team really since the inauguration, and in scaramucci, the president sees a mediasavvy, selfmade businessman with a reputation as a fighter. The two men have had a close perm relationship more years perm relationship for years. Thats something that hasnt gone unnoticed. Not everyone at the white house was onboard with this decision though. Were told that chief of staff Reince Priebus, press Secretary Sean Spicer and steve bannon all strongly objected to bringing scaramucci job board. The new Communications Director yesterday dismissed reports that there is any beef between him and Reince Priebus. Reince and i have been personal friends for six years. We are a little bit like brothers where we rough each other up once in a while which is totally normal for brothers. You
Nations. As president of the United States, i will always put America First. The United States has great strength and patience. But if it is forced to defend itself or its allies, we will have no choice but to totally destroy north korea. Rocket man is on a Suicide Mission for himself and for his regime. The iran deal was one of the worst and most one sided transactions the United States has ever entered into. Frankly, that deal is an embarrassment to the United States. Maria charging into the Eastern Caribbean after tearing across dominica overnight. The Prime Minister had his own roof blown off. We have lost all what money can buy and replace. Puerto rico and the Virgin Island in the cross hairs of this dangerous storm. This one looks like its going to hit us hard. The devastation it will cost might be unprecedented. Category 4, 5, over the top of san juan. If this happens as forecasted, this would be one of the worst hurricane disasters we have seen in the world. President trump mom
Between our diplomatic efforts and our military efforts. You cant have a stronger partner than a secretary of defense who embraces diplomacy. And i hope he feels he has the partner he needs at the state department. This is just the beginning of the list of partners and friends across the government who are all working for the american people. There is much to be done and were just getting started. To address a few specifics that have been erroneously reported this morning. The Vice President has never had to persuade me to remain as secretary of state because i have never considered leaving this post. I value the friendship and the counsel of the Vice President and i admire his leadership within president Trumps Administration to address the many important agendas of President Trump both from a Foreign Policy perspective and a diplomatic domestic objective. Let me tell you what ive learned about this president whom i did not know before taking this office. He loves this country. He put
