saudi arabia. president trump saying, well, we didn t get into that. you also heard me ask why he s taking the arms deals off the table. saying he should pull the arms deal. cancel it. president trump saying that wouldn t be good for u.s. jobs. today he said i m not taking it off the table. i want to point out, it s loud out there, it s noisy, marine one is behind us. so did he hear my question clearly? the bottom line, though, he said, i m not taking that off the table. the other big headline relating to elizabeth warren. we asked him about the fact she released results of her dna test which according to those result also showed a high likelihood she does have native american ancestry. and when i asked if he thinks that s a sign she s running for president, mr. trump saying he hopes it is. he clearly is feeling very emboldened right now, chris. he thinks she will make the country into venezuela but he d like to run against her. kristen, great reporting as
impeached. what crime do you think that donald trump has committed? well, i think there s a couple. the first that we have is a violation of the emoluments clause, he has refused to divest himself of businesses that have foreign actors. i think we currently have a full fbi investigation through which women may have been provided financial settlements in an illegal manner or a manner that violates campaign finance laws. i think that there are many different ways that people can reach that conclusion. what you re saying right now is something that most people would say, it s not smart politics to say that. most people would say, i shouldn t say whether i m going to vote for impeachment or not because that wouldn t be good politics but you re saying, whether people like it or not, what you actually believe. so first of all, round of applause for that.
how do you think about these issues? as somebody who s a strong pro-woman voice in a party that seems to not always be with you. well, i think my concern is that we should never politicize this issue. combatting sexual violence, combatting domestic violence should transcend politics, period. you have some of your republican colleagues who are now in the senate, murkowski, susan collins, jeff flake, do you have any words of advice or any requests or anything that you would want to say to the swing vote republicans who are sitting in the u.s. senate right now? yeah, absolutely. like i said before, i do not want to see combatting sexual violence, combatting domestic violence, combatting human trafficking being politicized. it should transcend politics and in terms of determining credibility, for example, the lack of a prompt complaint shouldn t be a factor in terms of determining credibility, because that happens very, very
into that chamber cool as a cucumber and stuck to her values and she had to prove why she was worthy of that seat. and it seems as though he has to prove why he shouldn t have that seat. and it s that difference in entitlement that explains the differences in the diversity of our boardrooms, of our editorial boards, of leadership, and it really lays bare the classicism and the social tensions and the stratification that ripples all over the country. it s just completely laid bare for the world to see. this division is getting worse and not better. it is. i thought that when trump got elected, it was, you know, at a maximum. that now was the good old days. the senate can t function. the supreme court s being politicized, possibly poison. what can young elected officials like yourselves do that could acknowledge all this division but also start to bring it back around? is there anything that can be done? the kind of polarization we re seeing in our politics is
law professor allen dershowitz this morning. well, jill, it s interesting. let me play a little bit more of what allen dershowitz had to say. because while he backed up donald trump on the campaign finance charge, this is what he said about the other investigation, the one that s taking place in the southern district of new york. take a listen. well, i said that right from the beginning because i think he has constitutional defenses to the investigation being conducted by mueller. but there are no constitutional defenses to what the southern district is investigating, so i think the southern district is the is the greatest threat. look, it would be good for the american public if president trump sat down and said everything he knows, but it wouldn t be good for president trump. wouldn t be good for trump. your thoughts on that, jill-wine banks.
