Chris Cuomo asks the tough questions to newsmakers in Washington and around the world. But they won, and if you look at why the women won, almost to a person they were much closer to the center and the Traditional Democratic views than what were seeing with the new crops, you included. Do you think that is a reflection about how much change your party can take and how soon, that more of those candidates are winning because theyre huing more closely to Traditional Democratic standards . Well, i think you have to take a look at two things. Where the American People are at and then also what wins campaigns. And its no secret that while Grassroots Campaigns absolutely are have their place and are very strong in Voter Turnout when they are able to turn out voters. Money does win elections. So when you have pac groups that are able to pour in half a million to a Million Dollars per race, that absolutely makes an impact. However, nothing changes the fact that the majority of americans believe
Anderson Cooper takes viewers beyond the headlines with indepth reporting and investigations. Knowing that was illegal. Cnn chief National Security correspondent jim sciutto is covering the trial. He joins us. Now what more did gates say on the stand . Anderson, you had the deputy there sitting within ten feet of his former his longtime boss, documenting by his accounts numerous crimes, alleged crimes by his boss, Paul Manafort. And the list started with them setting up 15 Foreign Bank Accounts which they did not report to the government for the purposes of hiding taxes. He said that they filed false income tax returns. He said they failed to file as foreign agents even though they were working as agents for a Foreign Government, in this case the prorussian Government Of Ukraine at the time. And rick gates said he did all of this, his words, all of this at the direction of Paul Manafort, saying these are crimes we did together, in

News, analysis and interviews with politicians and observers. Hill for the president and his party. A republican loss might tell us more. If the gop cant hold this district, which last elected a democrat back in 1980, then its a pretty safe bet democrats will recapture the house in november. That would not only stall any trump legislative agenda but also put investigations, possibly impeachment, on the table. There are longer term questions too. If republicans keep losing in the suburbs s th, is that just are acti reaction to the Trump Presidency or a longterm shift . The president tweeted this morning, casting the democrat as, quote, controlled by nancy pelosi, among other things. That democrat is Danny Oconnor, who hopes to benefit from antitrump sentiment in the suburbs but smartly prefers not to talk about the president.

Why would he tweet something that completely contradicts the statement that they wrote saying it wasnt about that and that he lied to us saying he had nothing to do with it. I rest my case.

It always gets me when people say this study shows theres 90 of the reports show about this president are negative, but they dont talk about the things that comes out of his mouth and the policies he proposes and what he says or does to people. How are we as media to report positively on something thats negative . The president called count

More than two years later, the story is still evolving on the in infamous 2016 trump tower meeting. President trump now taking a firm stance on the true purpose of the meeting, tweeting, in fact, today, this was a meeting to get information on an opponent, totally legal and done all the time in politics and it went nowhere. That message very far from the initial statement from donald trump jr. That we later learned was dictated by President Trump himself, saying this, we primarily discussed a program about the adoption of russian children, with no mention of dirt on Hillary Clinton. So this shift comes as sources tell cnn the president is concerned about his son becoming entangled in the russia probe. Cnns white house correspondent
