Lets do it, he vows to press on. Senator Lindsey Graham says hes not giving up, despite appearing to be short of the vote he needs. This after Susan Collins of maine became the fourth republican senator to say they cannot support the current legislation. The g. O. P. Could only afford to lose two more members of their own caucus and this is the daily beat is reporting that the white house is gearing up to lay blame for the likely failure on Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell. The president has already clashed with him over his inability to get Party Members and line and pass repeal and replace after seven years of promises. Meanwhile, the president is making it known his displeasure with the members of his own party. A short time ago at the white house, he said this. We were very does appoint a buy couple of senators, repelling and senators, i must say, we were very disappointed. We were disappointed that they would take the attitude they do. At some point, we will get repeal and r
Reince priebus and also don mcgahn been things they talked to mueller about. That strikes me as a bad idea. Im not a lawyer. What do you say . Its a terrible idea. And if i was the president s lawyer i would have firmly advised him to have no contact with any witnesses particularly about the topic of their conversations with mueller and his team. So the signals to us that the president likely is a very uncontrollable client. It doesnt really rise at least the reporting that weve seen about these limited conversations to any sort of new evidence of obstruction per se. It is still just not something you want to see your client doing when hes the subject of an investigation like this. And barbara, it raises the question we have reporting about tooing about if the president s making a habit of this. Yeah, and i think that one concern is number one what are they talking about . Is he gathering information so he can coordinate the testimony of other witnesses or himself and it also raises th
Trump down because of his public reputation of not doing what his lawyers tell him to do and not paying his bills. Tonight we have more ed of just how right those lawyers were of donald trump when they turned him down. The president keeps doing things that lawyers normally dont have to advise their clients not to do. Like attacking the federal prosecutor who is investigating him and attacking the Justice Department and the fbi because they are investigating him. It wouldnt occur to lawyers to tell their clients do not attack the prosecutors or the lawyers or the fbi. But it does occur to every lawyer, ever lawyer, to tell their clients not to talk about the case with anyone, especially not to talk about the case with other potential witnesses and people involved in the case. But donald trump has done that, and he has done that repeatedly and that is tonights breaking news story in the New York Times. Which cary it is headline, trump spoke to witnesses about matters they discussed with
But it does occur to every lawyer, ever lawyer, to tell their clients not to talk about the case with anyone, especially not to talk about the case with other potential witnesses and people involved in the case. But donald trump has done that, and he has done that repeatedly and that is tonights breaking news story in the New York Times. Which cary it is headline, trump spoke to witnesses about matters they discussed with special counsel. The New York Times reports on the president s reaction after the times published an article in january that White House Counsel Don Mcgahn told special prosecutor that the president had asked him to fire the special prosecutor, Robert Mueller. After that story became public, the times reports, the president told an aide that the white house council, don mcgahn ii should issue a statement denying the New York Times article. They also said he asked how reince priebuss interview was with the special prosecutor. It contains a detailed description of how t
Conversations to any sort of new evidence of obstruction per se. It is still just not something you want to see your client doing when hes the subject of an investigation like this. And barbara, it raises the question we have reporting about tooing about if the president s making a habit of this. Yeah, and i think that one concern is number one what are they talking about . Is he gathering information so he can coordinate the testimony of other witnesses or himself and it also raises this appearance of consciousness of guilt. If youre not guilty of anything, then have you no interest in talking with any of these folks. If youre talking to them, it suggests a level of interest that could indicate a consciousness of guilt. As joyce said, its a bad idea. Any lawyer would counsel his client not to talk about it because if even if theres nothing bad going on, there is a perception there is. One of the people he spoke to was priebus. According to investigators he asked if they were nice. You
