Qu quote, Deutsch Banks takes its legal obligations seriously. Heres an interview with the New York Times a couple of months ago, answering questions as to whether his businesses and finances were fair gain. If mueller was looking at your finances and your Family Finances unrelated to russia, is that a red line . I would say yes. Lets get to all of this with our reporters and guests, White House Bureau chief phil rucker, with me on set, National Security reporter ken delaney. And chuck rosenberg, a former u. S. Attorney who worked on the staff of Robert Mueller and James Comb Koecomey of the fbi. Let me start with those financial headlines. Theres a dispute about the facts, but would you surmise that Donald Trumps taxes are something that bob mueller either has or will seek to
which the president and james comey have very different accounts of what happened there. And finally to the Deutsch Bank Discussion that youre having. Jay sekulow is another one of the president s outside counsel
care about the most is a really smart campaign strategy regardless of primary general messaging. i think they should all take advantage of that. do independents though, and a lot of them will be watching. do they get scared about too much progressiveness. too much socialism. the current governor said when i was running i just stuck to issues people cared about. i never talked about the president s twitter feet. i never spoke about washington, d.c. all of that is the say that i do think there s a fear among not just independents but moderates that abolishing i.c.e., no criminalization of crossing the border. all of those things that have been raised, i think people,
the pieces. let s switch gears here. despite staying out of much of the public white house drama and his boss s twitter feet, defense secretary jim mattis is the latest member of the trump administration to fall out of the president s good graces. the new york times reports that mattis may be asked to leave the administration after the midterms. that s according to interviews with more than a dozen white house, congressional and current and former defense department officials over the past six weeks. among the president s grievances, he s annoyed at unfavorable comparisons that portray mattis as the adult in the room. trump has grown increasingly concerned that mattis is secretly a democrat at heart. two aides also say trump wants mattis to act more like mike pompeo, who is a political supporter of the president. white house officials also say that put that multiple policy differences
mike flynn until the moment he left, including the firing of jim comey. so could that sort of could we all be right here? yes, the 18-day period that mike flynn remained in office after the white house was warned that there was a problem, that s figuring very large in robert mueller s investigation. the theory out there, it s just a theory. but bob bare, the former prosecutor said that if we are to accept the white house twitter feet, we have been told that the white house the quitter feed represents official presidential statements so that is at the moment our operational understanding of what s happening now. wouldn t it make sense that the day after flynn left the white house, that trump pulls comey aside and says, couldn t you let that go? james comey declined that
i feel badly, john. hillary clinton on the fourth of july weekend went to the fbi, not under oath. it was the most incredible thing anybody has ever seen. lied many times. nothing happened to her. flynn lied and it s like they ruined his life. again, back to the tweet that caused so much consternation over the weekend on the president s twitter feet. this wasn t the president himself saying that he fired general flynn because he lied to the fbi. attorney john dowd saying he was the one that dictated the tweet. the white house social media director, that he conflaited the two things.
