Bottom line that was their goal heading into tonight, to live to fight inll of these in november. Brian, well accepted it over to you. Our thanks to steve kornacki. We ask only that you not stray from the big board. We will come back with results as they come in throughout the broadcast. Checking in on other news, day 502 this was of the trump administration. And President Trump wasted no time again today lashing out at his own Attorney General of his recusal from the Russia Investigation. President trump wrote on twitter, the russian witchhunt hoax continues all because Jeff Sessions didnt tell me he was going to recuse himself. I would have quickly picked someone else. So much time and money wasted. So many lives ruined. And sessions knew better than most that there was no
report would be positive, as we learned the next morning. But when aide mentioned sessions, trump abruptly ended the conversation and unmuted the television in his office, dismissing the staffer to resume watching
Haystack. Did the issue of adoption, its near and dear to my heart because i have two adopt edisons. Did that come up . Yes. In the meeting . Like i said, it was the primary thing we had spoken about in the meeting. You know, thats not the premise that got them in the room, and then they started it was essentially a baitandswitch to talk about that, and everyone has basically said that in testimony already. So this is nothing new, but, you know, like i said, im now understanding it is an important issue to you and near and dear to many peoples hearts, but this was nothing that was a Campaign Issue to us. This wasnt relevant to us, and it wasnt something we were going to do anything with. Except thats not what the president said over the weekend. Trump jr. Was not pushed to explain the shifting explanations behind the story. Meanwhile, vanity fair has reporting on former Communications Director hope hicks reappearance at the president s side over the weekend, just hours before he tweete
A recap of the days news. Love trump or whether you disdain him, i think everyone can collectively agree that his relationship with the truth theres a major disconnect. There was one report i saw said he told 2100 lies since office. Another one said 3,000. Another five a day. Another ten a day. If you sit down with mueller, if they dont have obstruction, we dont know whether they do. Hes tweeting. His State Of Mind is all over the place. He could say he fired comey. If they dont have obstruction and there is no collusion conspiracy, its conspiracy, but the fact is you can get him on perjury. So why take the chance of going sitting with mueller no matter how smooth you think you are, no matter what you think you can say when youre going to get caught in a lie because you will lie because thats what this president does, period. Harry, so far mueller hasnt moved on this demand that he wants trump to sit down in person. This negotiation has been going on since january that we know about. A
Weather, to understand fuels better. So there are things that can be done at the federal level. But you know what, when you look at what happened at redding, when you look at what happened at santa rosa, when you look at what happened in ventura, where fires have gone from the wild land urban interface right into the suburbs, right into towns, thats at the state level. We have to look at our zoning. We have to look at our construction materials. We basically have to look at where we have people on the land and how we protect them. Right now we just have to thank those 14,000 firefighters that are on the ground. Incredible. Glen, thank you. Thank you for watching this hour of velshi ruhle. Ill see you tomorrow at 8 00 a. M. I turn you over to Andrea Mitchell for Andrea Mitchell reports. Former Paul Manafort deputy rick gates back on the witness
stand. Reporter theyre going to say hes damaged goods, he comes to court as a convicted felon. He was convicted of lying to the fbi when agents
The whistleblower made falseht statements, the whistleblower got caught with chairman schiff. Remember chairman schiff, the person that the democrats instead of the House Judicial Committee which has spent a full week on this, thats not who has been in charge. They put in charge was the person that got caught with the whistleblower. Have you spoken directly with the whistleblower . No, we have not. Wed like to. That wasnt true. The person that said he had evidence of the first fake impeachment scam, collusion with russia, had evidence of that collusion and didnt have it. The person who in the course of that read into the record the steele dossier because the people needed to know what happened about the truth of what happened. We heard about the truth of what happened with the steele dossier this week when the Inspector General said it was all garbage, rubbish, all made up. Yeah, thatad chairman schiff. And now he got caught not being truthful about a whistleblower who, as i told you t
