Requires the irs to turn over tax returns if requested by certain committees. In a letter to the irs obtained by cnn richard neil demanded returns from 2013 through 2018. The president responded that hes not inclined to comply until he is no longer under audit which in and of itself is a claim thats never been confirmed. We are going to begin with the New York Times report on Robert Mueller and the mueller team. Joining us is washington correspondent for the New York Times and Cnn National Security analyst, one of the reporters that broke the story about the mueller team. There havent been many stories at all. Really none about sentiment from the mueller team. Thats significant itself. Mark, let me read the first paragraph so people know what the reporting is. Some of Robert Muellers investigators told Associates William barr failed to adequately portray the findings of the inquiry and they were more troubling for President Trump than william barr indicated according to those familiar
Thousands arrive every day to exploit our weakness now. Millions more are coming. Turns out the average honduran migrants knows a lot more about our entire system than the entire lineup on cnn. If there is one person that knows even less than your average cable news anchor the mechanic of congress the loudest one. She still thinks the whole immigration question boils down to racism. If you are for borders, you are a racist, period. Guess what . Im 29, im the youngest woman to ever be elected to the United States congress. I have plenty of time to learn and im not afraid to make mistakes and iterate in public either. And, frankly, if the mistakes im making is like a oneoff rhetorical thing you correct it, acknowledge it and move on. At least im not trying to cage children on the border and inject them with drugs.

We are now treating it like a massive cat 5 hurricane disaster. Regarding the Economic Impact of closing the border, one area weve explored is to try to keep the freight lanes open. That is possible. I dont buy the b. S. That women and children and families coming to our southern border pose a National Security threat to the United States of america. I dont believe that they are criminals. All i can say is somebody better get in the room pretty quickly and fix this before it blows the entire border apart. Sandra senator James Lankford standing by with reaction. The past couple days President Trump he says he believes trade is important but what is most important to him is Border Security.

True. Good morning, everyone, it is friday, april 5th. Im Ayman Mohyeldin alongside Yasmin Vossoughian. Congressional democrats have formally responded to the reports that special counsel Robert Muellers investigators were frustrated that attorney general William Barrs public letter on the report excluded damaging information about President Trump. An official telling the Washington Post that summaries were prepared for different sections of the report with a view that they could be made public and two people telling post that barr not releasing them have disappointed team members. In a letter, chairman Jerrold Nadler demanded Immediate Release of the mueller team summaries. Quote you have already provided an interpretation of the special counsels conclusions in a fashion that appears to minimize the implications of the report. Releasing the summaries without delay would begin to allow the American People to judge the facts for themselves. Yesterday the Justice Department did not deny
To them, say that the report is more damaging than what bill barr laid out in his memo. And theres this from the Washington Post. Quote, members of muellers team have complained to Close Associates that the evidence they gathered on obstruction was alarming and significant. Thats not all for President Trump. The new democratic majority is flexing its oversight muscles in a very real way right now. Not only with subpoenas, as we discussed yesterday, for the full Mueller Report, but also now demanding the president s tax returns. The democratic chairman going straight to the irs to get them. The president , youll be not surprised at all to hear, says hes not inclined to hand those over. Still. Lets start with this tension over the Mueller Report. Jessica schneider is at the Justice Department joining me now.
