A spokesman for manafort says its 100 false to suggest this meeting including any discussion of contributions to the Trump Campaign or the Republican Party. When donald trump jr. Talked about the meeting he called it nothing and manafort said he was on his phone most of the time. The whole contact took how long . 20 minutes or so. 20 minutes. And jared left after five or ten. Yes. Like she said and paul manafort. On his phone. The whole time. Like i said it was pretty apparent this is not what we were in there talking about. It does appear manafort was on his phone to take notes. Nbcs reporting says manafortses notes typed on a smartphone described by one source as cryptic were turned over to the house and senate
think you know. Im not answering about any particular eggs vexes. I cant talk about that in a classified setting. I want to be careful in open setting. I carefully chose the words. Like look ive seen the tweet about tapes lordy, i hope there are tapes. Jeremy theyre making the
fairfax. once, a reliably republican suburb. again, 45% of the estimated vote. let s watch throughout the night because you get some of the early voting, then you get the day-of voting. but terry mcauliffe jumping to an early lead. you look at that and you think okay that s good for the democrat. you go back in time to the last governor s race, though, and you see ralph northam winning the governor s race four years ago had a bigger margin there and if you look at the 2020 presidential race, click it up here in loudoun county, joe biden had a blowout. and so, that s one of the kwis we are going to watch tonight is glenn youngkin running stronger than donald trump. donald trump last year. ed gillespie four years ago. is he showing that republicans can make inroads in the suburbs? can t answer that question, yet. at the moment, he is competitive. if you pull out and look, again, this is the major population center. the loudoun county is the fastest-growing county in the commonwealth of v
so it is on both sides of the aisle towards donald trump. but how much did donald trump influence joe biden s decision to run in 2020? the book starts on election night 2016 with obama and biden each watching trump win and reacting to it. biden had been skeptical hillary clinton could win, but he thought trump can t win. he said i am not running. he looked at reporters in the back of the room in 2017 i am not running. then he would say to people privately, if i m walking, i m running. and what happened in 2017 is charlottesville which changes a lot for him. by the end of 2017 he feels like
even sworn into office. reporter: that was the deputy press secretary to the white house, hogan gidley just moments ago. the president, as you saw this morning, tweeted comparing himself to the victims of lynchi lynchings. today you heard hogan gidley tell you that s not at all what he did. your eyes tell you the real truth. this was a stunning claim on this day, it s inflamed racial tensions for a president who has told congresswomen of color to go back where they came from. his charlottesville comments that people are so familiar with, the fact his political career was based on the racist lie that barack obama was not born in this country. it s an effort, in effect, to try to distract i think americans from a lot of the criticisms the president is facing right now from g7 where the president claimed his decision to hold the g7 summit next year at doral was outraging only democrats. in fact it was republicans who called him out on it.
it. you would have to have something as ridiculous as that and it s not going to happen. a lot of people are wondering what he can say. let s bring in mark, the former mayor of new orleans. thank you for being here. thank you. you were one of the first to tweet out late last night that he should resign. so i thought about this and let s think about the context. this is 1984, 85 doug wilder was running for lieutenant governor, jesse jackson had just run for president. your 20 years after the civil rights act. this is not 1950 or 60. if this is not you, why did you not object to this being on your yearbook page 30 years ago? it s not credible and i think what the point is, is that the governor, this is virginia. this is charlottesville. this is a state trying to emerge
