Chris Cuomo asks the tough questions to newsmakers in Washington and around the world. Rosenstein look, Jeff Sessions he recused himself. Had to have recused himself because theres a regulation in place that says if you work on a campaign and theres a criminal investigation relating to that campaign the president says it was a bum move and he should have told him about it and it was a total hoodwink. Wrong, wrong, wrong. As far as it being a hoodwink, sessions would have had to have had the gift of prophecy along with the president in order to believe at the time he was ainterest poed, there was was going to be to an investigation thats why i was confused by your initial writings on this one because of my respect for your mind and that rosenstein the only thing he could do is get a prophylactic in play, get somebody who had one layer away from the president , which technically a Special Counsel does, because otherwise he could have been fired like that if he were running it. The questi
To an end as he stated many times. We look forward to that happening. The president is not obstructing, hes fighting back. The president is stating his opinion. Hes stating it clearly. Hes certainly expressing the frustration he has with the level of corruption that weve seen from people like jim comey, peter strzok, andrew mccabe, theres a reason the president is angry. Frankly, most of america is angry as well. Theres no reason he shouldnt be able to voice that opinion. Once again as i stated earlier, the president stating his opinion. Its not an order. Hes been Crystal Clear how he feels about this investigation from the beginning. You said a moment ago the investigation itself is corrupt. The mueller investigation, you mentioned comey and strzok. The entire investigation based off dirty, discredited dossier that was paid for by an opposing campaign. The latest news from around the world with host Brooke Baldwin. At a public rally and yet people trying to yell over and defending the
The fact is that we dont need a direction from the president to the intelligence chiefs to be on guard against russian interference with our elections, number one. Number two, as far as what the president says on any given day, frankly he says a lot of things. He is, i think, campaigning against impeachment rather than saying anything that is designed to affect the outcome of the case. So i kind of brush that off. But to go back to your first point, that we dont need the president for the intelligence community. Thats a little counterintuitive. We expect the leadership from the president to be of paramount importance when were dealing with threats like this, which to the democracy is basically existential. So for him to not be on the same page seems to be highly counterproductive. Its counterproductive, but it is not at all necessarily critical. These intelligence agencies, particularly in an administration where statements
get made all the time, i think are pretty much doing their job

The days biggest political and news stories, with interviews and reporting from around the nation. The United Nations taking on Donald Trumps attacks on the free press. The top story, The Closing Circle of pressure on trump from the manafort trial. Michael avenatti has popped back up with a dvd, doing some Breaking News of his own on who is in possession of it. Do you have anything else you can tell me about this dvd . As soon as we get it back from Law Enforcement, ill be happy to talk about it. That is new. The assertion that Law Enforcement are sufficiently interested in this dvd collected as evidence. We do not know, and this is important, if avenatti is alleging its in the possession of federal Law Enforcement, which could mean mueller or cohen prosecutors in new york, or whether it is some other local case which could be far less important. Meanwhile, the other news tonight is that mueller has completed interviews with another new roger stone associate, her name is kristin davis.
