the second is, he just wanted the public announcement, the private confirmation was not enough and that s anma indicati that he wanted the political benefit fromhe them. yeah. looks to me that the announcement of the investigation could benefit the presidentne politically because the announcement alone could be twitterne fodder between now an thewe next election to smear a political rival. that s consistent with the findings. you know, president nixon attempted to corrupt elections and his agents broke into democratic party headquarters to get aar leg up on the election d then he tried to cover it up just as we ve seen some obstruction s here. but even more concerning in this case, president trump not only appears to have abused the power of his office to help his own re-election campaign, he used a foreign government to do his bidding and he used military aid as leverage to get the job done. now this aid was approved by congress. it was appropriated on a
laura: elizabeth warren s campaign promise to bilk the rich with a wealth tax may be catching on with voters but not all voters. the new york times is reporting only one slice of the itelectric opposes it staunchly. republican men with college degrees. not surprisingly that is also the profile of many who would be hit by miss warren s wealth tax. the times wants to make this about class but they are actually public policy reasons to oppose it. joining me now, steve moore, trump 2020 economic advisor, why is the wealth tax seeming to gain popularity? i think a false narrative has been told by the democrats were elizabeth warren, joe biden or bernie sanders which is only thi rich are benefiting in the economy. i wonder if these people went to the mall this week in and see how people are spending t money. we are in the midst of thewe
crimes president trump, in an unprecedented move, told the navy not to oust chief petty officer edward gallagher from the s.e.a.l.s. here is nbc s miguel almaguer reporter: the president intervening again to defend eddie gallagher, saying he will not let the navy strip him of his status as an s.e.a.l th president tweeting today, the navy will not be taking away war fighter and navy s.e.a.l. eddie gallagher s trident pin. this case was handled very badly from the beginning. gallagher s brother today. any time i see the president tweet or take action on our behalf, the gratitude that comes out can t really truly be expressed accurately we re just so thankful reporter: a u.s. aware of thewe after he was demoted, fo-covined trial and war crimes but found guilty of posing with a corpse of a teenaged isis fighter. he told me that he wanted to, uh, instill confidence back into

huge crime wave. rudy giuliani was elected mayor of new york because people felt unsafe going into the city. we were responding to a deep public perception that we had lost control of the streets. lost control of the streets. important pieces was the welfare reform proposal. a personal responsibility act. thewe president didn t get the welfare reform done the first twopl years. it was tide to the medicaid reform. the republican welfare reform bill drafted as an alternative to the democrats bill was not acceptable. we wanted a different approach. at the time what members thought would be most of effective was helping people see the dignity of work and requiring people on
