last election and to hold russia accountable for what they re doing currently in this election. we have barely even talked about that to scratch that surface but i think what is going to happen here is that the reports are going to come forward. it s just a matter of how. is it going to come forward because the attorney general releases it as he should, or is it going to come forward because the funding is being held for the agencies or nominees are being held up, or because there s a court fight? either way, the public is going to see this report and the public deserves to see it after the investment in this investigation and what s been at stake in terms of our elections. this is owed to the public, and i think it s going to come forward. your thought, betsy? the last word on the manafort, what we didn t learn in all of those redactions, since there is protecting of information, some individuals perhaps, your thoughts. what i m curious about is who manafort is more frightened off
don t? what if they say no, we will not release the underlying evidence. what options do you have? we will subpoena the report. we will bring in bob mueller to testify before congress. we will take it to court if necessary. in the end i think the department understands they re going to have to make this public. prepared to take the administration to court? absolutely. we are going to get to the bottom of this. we re going to share this information with the public, and if the president is serious about all of his claims of exoneration, then he should welcome the publication of this report. but he won t. the impending end of robert mueller s investigation may be just the beginning of the legal battle between democratic lawmakers and the trump administration over what potentially incriminating evidence should be made public in the russia probe. that looming showdown combined with the possibility that mueller will spin off untold federal investigations that could threaten the presi
special counsel robert mueller. top democrat able to subpoena his report and call on him to testify? the brewing legal battle. also ahead, big-time angst from donald trump s closest adviser about the north korea s summit and the length the president may go to distract from troubles at home. and donald trump, who stands credibly accused of racism, projects accusations of racism on an award winner who called for more love. we ll take you inside trump s latest attack. latest attack.fir?

two-year investigation is pretty intense. i can hardly think of a matter that s more of national interest and national import than how a foreign adversary has leverage over american foreign policy. yeah, that s absolutely right. get to the end of this, the law is not on doj s side and the politics are not on doj s side. we look at polls, somewhere 90% of the american public want the mueller report to be released. obviously doj set a precedent in recent years turning over information about the clinton investigation to congress. in this investigation, they turned over thousands of pages of information when the president thought it would be to his advantage to turn thoefrm to congress. the idea they would then turn around and say we turned over the fisa application, we turned over all of these other documents we thought would hurt the investigation. now we will sit on the report that shows the outcome of the investigation is untenable. if you look at some of the privilege claims they
