Threatening federal prosecutors. Today, the judge in that case could decide exactly how much he can talk about it. It comes as federal prosecutors are now pushing for a trial right after new years day. Cue up u2. Well have much more on trumps legal issues ahead. Good morning. Welcome to morning joe. It is i mean, come on, man, its august. Its august. This is moving. This year is moving too fast. Its midaugust. You know, you get old like me, and it just flies, right . Its august 11th. With us, we have the host of way too early, White House Bureau chief at politico, Jonathan Lemire. Host of politics nations, wearing tan today, the reverend al sharpton. Looks good. Come on, man. President obama wore tan, and look what happened. It was a big news story. With me, its just another day. Can you believe that . That was a big news story. The president of the United States wearing tan in the white house. We have a the same people that were upset by that are now, like, hey, its really cool. We su
than one grand jury. why would she expose another grand jury? it is interesting, joe. trump lawyer jim trustee was on a right-wing show and said that there is a problem with having the separate grand jury. this was the day before the ruling came out. it made some people think that, was that a message sent from trump s team to the judge? now, i m not going to accuse anyone of impropriety, but it is peculiar she decided to do that when no one asked for that to be briefed. she said, now, i want you to tell me whether you can have a second grand jury. but a second grand jury can be used to investigate other crimes and to indict other people. so i think this issue is really bizarre, and it makes me think that we re back to the judge cannon of 2022 instead of judge cannon 2.0. yeah. and you look, jonathan lemire, not to get off on this issue too long, but, i mean, if you go to the drudge report any day, you see the mistakes she s made.

. t minus 10 days until robert mueller testifies on capitol hill. there are many, many bread crumbs in the mueller report for journalists to follow. here with me now, legendary investigative reporter carl bernstein. carl, i wonder, looking at the mueller report and looking at what s going to come later this month, what s the biggest lead that s going underreported right now? i think we ve made a big mistake in the press about how we ve covered the mueller report, that we ve gotten totally wrapped up in the warfare in the congress between republicans and democrats and is there obstruction of justice or is there not obstruction of justice. in fact there are dozens and dozens of leads in there about trump s business dealings, his having things having to do with women as well that we know about from elsewhere and trying to keep women silent who have been in his past, about his business
