Everybody has gone home. A few hours ago, this was a pretty bumping party. Democrats really felt like they had a shot here tonight. It the last 48 hours of this race, everything seemed to be breaking their way. The republican candidate stumbled into a gaffe about Franklin County The Night Before the election started. Their candidate had been all over the place in national and local media. They felt like they were fighting out the la
Exploring issues that affect leaders in the U. S. And around the globe. Manafort is turned his direction. One can only imagine what is going through manaforts mind, because if you believe the prosecution version of the case, gates knows all his secrets and is about to expose them to the jury. If you believe the defense version, gates is setting manafort up and framing him. Well have to see which version the jury believes. Ken, how long can we expect gates to be on stand and, number two, what is manaforts defense right now . They were really motoring through gates testimony. Generally this court wraps up at 5 30 but ive got to believe hell be back tomorrow on direct and then there will be a lengthy cross examination. The defense really rests on tarnishing gates. There was some devastating testimony before gates from Cindy Lapartyorta who made the understand that she had no idea that Paul Manafort had overseas accounts. He was supposed to disclose on his taxes. She prepared the taxes and
What was he projecting when he was tweeting that meeting at the trump tower was about getting dirt on Hillary Clinton . Why would he tweet something that completely contradicts the statement that they wrote saying it wasnt about that and that he lied to us saying he had nothing to do with it. I rest my case. Come on, hes saying exactly what is happening and exactly what is true about him. He cannot help himself. Listen, you know, chris, we do not take this lightly. When this man was on the campaign trail with every being to be objective and report him in a fair equitable manner. And then when we became president of the United States, the same thing. It always gets me when people say this study shows theres 90 of the reports show about this president are negative, but they dont talk about the things that comes out of his mouth and the policies he proposes and what he says or does to people. How are we as media to report positively on something thats negative . The president called count
A recap of the days news. I dont know where the evidence is that would suggest that. The fact is that thats what they used against conor lamb in the special election in Western Pennsylvania which trump won by 20 points and conor lamb won. They used it over and over again with Danny Oconnor in ohio 12 who, by the way, is still running in november against mr. Balderson and danny managed to collapse the trump margin from 11 down to less than 1 . Im not sure where the evidence that that is the case, that that is an effective appeal. Its certainly their standard playbook move in eeach and ever instance. Again, to be redundant and repeat myself, they want to hear about what theyre going to do to lower Prescription Drug prices and protect people with preexisting conditions. Build infrastructure that will move this economy strongly throughout the rest of the 21st century. Finally get americans a raise. These are the things they want us talking and proposing. They want us being practical and wo
Hello again, everyone. Thanks so much for joining me. Im Fredricka Whitfield in washington, d. C. Its the meeting that just wont go away. More than two years later, the story is still evolving on the in infamous 2016 trump tower meeting. President trump now taking a firm stance on the true purpose of the meeting, tweeting, in fact, today, this was a meeting to get information on an opponent, totally legal and done all the time in politics and it went nowhere. That message very far from the initial statement from donald trump jr. That we later learned was dictated by President Trump himself, saying this, we primarily discussed a program about the adoption of russian children, with no mention of dirt on Hillary Clinton. So this shift comes as sources tell cnn the president is concerned about his son becoming entangled in the russia probe. Cnns white house correspondent
wrong. Reporter while the white house has had difficulty sticking to the script, the president maintained again in that
