east, 6:00 a.m. out west. behind the numbers a new poll out this hour shows president trump has reached a historical milestone. we ll tell you if it s good or bad. the waiting game. is there any word from the white house or president trump on the expected indictment revelation moved from special counsel robert mueller? but the president has no concerns in terms of any impact as to what happens to them on his campaign or on the white house? well, one of the president s lawyers is talking and he rep l repeals the legal team s approach to the russia investigation in a new interview today. whitefish reaction. the ceo of the company that landed a $300 million contract to the fix puerto rico s electrical grid is responding to critics the first time. a brand-new poll out this hour shows the president s approval rating at the lowest point since taking office. it s now at 38%, this in the
how does mueller interpret that? absolutely. there is no indication as of right now that don junior or anyone who attended the meeting knew that veselnitskaya may have been acting as an agent of the kremlin. that being said, the person who organized the meeting at first rob goldstone deserve tell donald trump jr. that the russian prosecutor s office had dirt on hockey that could possibly help then candidate donald trump s campaign at the time. now this memo that veselnitskaya brought with her to trump tower closely mirrored a memo written two months earlier by the russian prosecutor s office and it focused on bill browder who spearhead this had magnitsky sanctions legislation in 2012. if you undermine browder did, you undermine the sanctions, a chief foreign policy to have putin since they were implemented in 2012. okay. you ve covered most of all the major players reportedly under investigation by bob mueller here. so i know you don t know but
know. opposition research is done by both sides obviously. but not knowing who paid for it, that s the issue here. right. i did see that debbie wasserman schultz statement said she was not aware of this. i completely understand. when you are the chair woman of the dnc, there are so many financial actions taking place, there s no way you can know every transaction, and what matters here is if the information contained in the dossier gets us any closer to figuring out whether there was collusion to the trump campaign in any of the trump s a adversaries, and russia, if this gets it one step closer that s what matters. robert, back to the issue. somebody must have known. is there plausible deniability here by everybody in the clinton campaign? well, i think adrian has a point. the general chairman and probably the campaign manager
of his party to remove muler from the investigation because of his ties to former fbi director james comey. i would encourage my republican friends give the guy a chance to do his job. the result will be known by the facts by what he uncovers. the personalities involved are much less important to me than the underlying facts. so i would say give the guy a chance to do his job. but we re learning more about russian contacts with the trump campaign. a new report claims the russian lawyer who met with paul manafort and jared kushner and donald trump jr. may have acted as an agent of the kremlin. joining me is the author of this report, natasha bertrand. if this russian lawyer, natalia veselnitskaya, if she was acting on behalf of the russian government, does that change the gravity of the meeting for manafort or don junior?
yes, it is an indication of how people are feeling about the president. and how people are feeling about the way things are going in this country. they want to have a government that is more responsive to them. and that isn t addressing their needs especially the needs of the middle class. california democrat congresswoman judy chu, thank you so much for your time. thank you. up next, how a tiny energy company struck a multimillion dollar deal in puerto rico through the help of social media. nbc news talks with the coe. and joy reid will bring down the russia investigationing with adam schiff on am joy .
