He has more on the fastmoving developments. Peter . Democrats were supposed to vote to condemn antisemitism today but they didnt have the votes. Its not clear that they will have for the rest of the week. This all started with comments made by the freshman democratic congresswoman ilhan omar. It seems like theres confusion among your colleagues. Are you antisemitic . Congresswoman, my only question. Would you support the resolution condemning bigotry and other forms of antisemitism . She kept quiet but her democratic colleagues had more to say. Because you have some members who either repeatedly or individually continue to use antisemitic tropes a
Prepping for weeks more of this. This will go on for a while. The American People will have their way. Plus, scared silent. Michael cohen postpones his congressional testimony because of what he calls ongoing threats to his family made by the president of the United States. What team cohen is now saying this morning as House Democrats insist he will still testify. No, i would say hes been threatened by the truth. Hes been threatened by the truth. And chaos in car raucous. Hundreds of thousands protested for the end of the mujaro team. The u. S. Recognizing the Opposition Leader as the true leader of venezuela. Getting its diplomats out. An order the administration refuses. Nicholas maduro has no legitimate claim to power. We will stand with the people of venezuela until they reclaim freedom and democracy for their people. We begin today with that rare reversal by the president. As he backs down from that battle with House Speaker nancy pelosi and furloughed workers brace for a second m
Of these proposals and why we think theyre going nowhere. Reporter well, that first vote is on the republican proposal. A bill largely reflects the president s proposal from over the weekend. It includes 5. 7 billion for money for the border wall in exchange for three years of an extension of daca and those with temporary protected status. That bill, of course, like you said expected not to go anywhere. We do know one democrat who said hell support the republican plan, joe manchin. But again, falling far short of the votes they need to pass it. Then we go to the democratic bill. That bill simply reopens the government for a few weeks. Again, it doesnt have enough votes. There are a number of Senate Republicans who might cross the aisle and support it. We know lisa murkowski, Corey Gardner and Susan Collins. Theyre all expected to vote for it, falling short of the 13 that they would actually need to pass it. So, the hope is that after this vote, they can actually find a way to come toge

And another who said he would never accept one after appare apparently trying to get one. Paul manafort, the president s former Campaign Chairman facing many year
Personally and professionally is in shamble hambles, now, i wan emphasize, this is a remarkable moment in history, Campaign Chairman of a president ial campaign sentenced to prison, going in handcuffs, 47 months. I want to say this is a big blow for mueller as well. They had asked for 19 to 25 years. The judge, ellis, going against that request from prosecutors and going for only 47 months. That is a stunning development. Obviously, manafort is going to be sentenced again in a week in the d. C. Court. But this is not what team mueller had been hoping for. Now, manafort is the first person from trumps inner circle to be sentenced. He was, of course, the first person who was indicted by mueller. I want to go now to Shimon Prokupecz outfront outside the virginia courthouse. Shimon, this is not what team mueller wanted. They wanted up to 25 years. 47 months. Thats what they got.
