A recap of the days news. Would do. Right . Instead this white house put on a display today in the briefing room. A display intended to send a message to the American People. That message is to convince you that this administration actually takes russias attacks on our democracy seriously. So they trot it out one top official after another. Every one of them pointing the finger at russia, which is all well and good, but obviously there is one person missing. Want to guess who it is . President donald j. Trump who no matter what the members of his own administration say just cant seem to bring himself to blame russia for anything without walking it back in the same breath. Lets compare the director of national intelligence, what he said today to what President Trump said after that disastrous helsinki summit. Here it is. The Intelligence Community continues to be concerned about the threats of upcoming u. S. Elections. Both the midterms and the president ial elections of 2020. Dont. Whatever. What does it tell you when the president of the United States sends out members of his own administration to make the case he should be making himself. That russia attacked our democracy. Russia interfered in the 2016 president ial election. Russia is constantly working to divide america. The facts are there. The Intelligence Agencies are saying it. They all are saying it. And theyre doing a pretty good job of it, russia is. So why doesnt this president , why wont this president in the words of his own fbi director take the threat seriously . Its no coincidence that all of this is happening as the Mueller Investigation is moving into the oval office, as mueller is pressing for a sitdown interview with the president himself. As former Trump Campaign manager Paul Manafort is on trial. The first trial to come out of the Mueller Investigation. And as the president brands the whole thing a witch hunt. The fact is this is no witch hunt. Robert mueller is doing what the president should be doing. Hes working to get the facts. The truth about what russia did in 2016. And about what russia is still doing right now. Thats the only way, the only way we can defend our democracy. Im going to bring in chris soliza and josh campbell. Gentlemen, good evening. Thank you for joining us on this lovely evening. Chris, why Isnt The President as forceful or direct as his National Security team when it comes to russias efforts to attack our elections and undermine our democracy . He doesnt believe it. Despite all evidence to the contrary. Look, i think at this point when donald trump says it, lets take him at his word. Over and over and over again he has not been able to say russia sought to interfere in the 2016 president ial election. My Intelligence Community tells me they did so because they wanted to help me and hurt hillary clinton. That election is over with, but the threat isnt. We need to figure out as a
country how to protect our democracy. All the clips you played, don, could have been a lot of other people, could have been china or a 400pound guy sitting in his bedroom, he cant simply say it because he doesnt believe it. If you need evidence, the show of force, four big major figures in the Trump Administration coming out and saying russia interfered in the election. We need to stop them. This is a threat to our democracy. Hours later that clip you played donald trump in pennsylvania says all a hoax. If the boss doesnt believe it, theres no way that the administration is as focussed on it as they could be. Right. Because theres no urgency behind it. The big guy is not saying you guys take care of this. Make sure of course. Josh, this is what you tweeted today. You said if trump privately tole putin to stop interfering in the u. S. Elections and the Intel Community continues to see
russia efforts to interfere in efforts, then putin is either Disrespecting Trump or didnt get the message. Most likely President Trump doesnt see it that way. Well, he may not see it that way, but i think he should be focussed on the fact that he does not look good. This is simple if you think about it. We heard today from our u. S. Intelligence Community Officials that russia is continuing to interfere in u. S. Elections. So that either means one of two things. Either the president actually sat down with Vladimir Putin and scolded him and said cut it out and putin ignored him or the message never was delivered. Either way it should be concerning for the american citizens. It either means were being lied to and the message wasnt conveyed forcefully or the power of the presidency isnt what it once was and even after being scolded by the president of the United States, someone like Vladimir Putin thinks he can continue interfering with our elections without consequences. I want to play him at a rally tonight. Watch this. I got along great with putin and everybody said, wow, that was great. A couple hours later i started hearing these reports that they wanted me to walk up and go like this. Son of a they wanted me to go up and have a boxing match. I said what ever happened to diplomacy . So, well, theres a lot of things there. I mean, theres i mean, theres a wide gap between diplomacy and actually a boxing match. No one asking him or thought he would have a boxing match. They just thought he would stand up and be a man as the president of the United States and call russia and Vladimir Putin on exactly what theyre doing instead of capitulating. And he skips the part where putin under trump undermined his Intelligence Agencies on a world stage and had to clean up his own mess. And by the way, in cleaning
up his own mess, thats when he said could have been other people also. Like he cant even in the cleaning up of the mess, he still hedged. I meant to say would or wouldnt. Go on. Sorry. Go back to what hes doing there. Look, what you see there is vintage trump. He is telling himself and everyone around him a story of how he sees things. Whether or not that comports with facts it doesnt in this case is immaterial. No one outside of maybe his family and some of his advisers no one who is not on the Payroll Thought whether it was one minute after that summit or
ten hours after that summit that it went well. The reaction in the trump white house, the reaction on capitol hill among republicans was i cant believe i just saw what i saw. So he creates a reality. He tells himself it, and then he uses that to scapegoat the media in some way. The media is the media doesnt make republicans say i cant believe that just happened. We quote them saying that. Right. But thats again, vintage trump. I want to get this in. If you can get a quick response, josh. I want you to take a look at this. This is a surprising moment from the White House Press briefing with the director of national intelligence. Watch. Im not in a position to either understand fully or talk about what happened in helsinki. Ill turn it over to the National Security director here to address that question. So two and a half weeks after helsinki the top intelligence person in the country cant speak to what happened there . Two key aspects. First he says he doesnt know what happened and he cant talk about it. The second, i can appreciate. Someone in his position, he has access to highly classified information. Maybe he couldnt talk about it. But the fact he indicated he doesnt know what happened, is highly concerning. I know him. Hes a good man. The fact he wasnt briefed by the president on what took place in the meeting is going to do a disservice to the Intelligence Community. What should have happen second down the president should have been sitting down at cia Head Quarters with the head of cia and all the Intelligence Analysts working on russia and should have given them a full debriefing on what took place to inform their analysis and form what it is theyre doing. That didnt take place. The top dni doesnt even know what happened. And the dni, the person in charge of all intelligence, maybe should have been in the room. I was just going to quickly i know youre up against it. I am. Just remember, donald trump is the one who pushed for a one on one meeting with Vladimir Putin with just translators that went on for two plus hours. The only version of what happened there that we know is from interviews that Vladimir Putin has given with russian
state television. Just sit with that one for a little while. Thank you, gentlemen. Appreciate it. When we come back the Mueller Investigation heating up as Paul Manafort is on trial in muellers first russia case. Is this turning into President Trumps watergate . Im going to ask the experts.

Special Counsel Robert Mueller pushing to interview Russian Oligarch Aras Agalarov and his pop star son who were instrumental in setting up the Trump Tower Meeting. Earlier this month he appeared to be trolling the president releasing this video impersonating trump in a room with a slew of models. I just wanted to watch that a little longer so you can see Whats Going On. There were trump impersonators. There we go, and an Ivanka Impersonator and on and on. There he is right there. Lets discuss now. Cnn plit kn analyst Carl Bernstein is here. And john dean is a cnn contributor. Good to have both of you on. Your expertise. You were there for watergate. Im going to get your impressions on all of this relating to that and the latest on Whats Going On with this whole russia investigation. Good evening. Thank you for joining us. John, the allar ovs Attorney Says the conversations about an interview with the special counsel have been going on for nearly a year. We also know mueller is offering the president s legal team new parameters for a meeting with him. What does that tell you about where mueller is in his investigation . Is it a sign of wrapping things up or we dont know . I dont think we know for certain. This is an airtight investigation, but i think its interesting he wants to get to the source of the meeting that is a key meeting that june 9th meeting in the trump towers, and agalarov was one of the key players in trying to set it up. He wants to get to the source and find out whats behind it. I suspect this fellow who travels the world wants to cooperate or might doesnt want to be subject to an Interpol Sanction against himself. So he may come in voluntarily. Carl, according to the attorney, muellers team is interested in discussing the Trump Tower Meeting and the
talks around the building of a trump tower in moscow. Right . They were talking about building a trump tower there. What does that tell you about muellers focus . This may be the real sleeper of the whole Mueller Investigation, because clearly on its face the Trump Tower Meeting was convened for the purpose of collusion and collaboration and conspireing. And with don junior and in the letter im going to read. Im going to do something very untelevision like and read the letter that brought this meeting about. Emin just called and asked me to contact you with something very interesting. The Crown Prosecutor of russia met with his father this morning and in their meeting offered to provide the Trump Campaign with official documents and information that would incriminate hillary in her dealings with russia and would
be very useful to your father. This is obviously very high level and sensitive information, but its part of russia and its Government Support for mr. Trump helped by aras and emin. Whats the best way to handle this . That is perhaps the most important document that we have in this whole investigation. And if donald trump, indeed, means it, that he did not collude and people in his family did not collude, it is very easy for him to call these two people, emin, and his father, aras, good friends of the president , call them up and say i want you to come talk to mr. Mueller. Testify on my behalf. Tell them this is, indeed, a witch hunt and this letter does not mean what it says. Trump has the ability right here to put this perhaps behind him if he wants to be honest about the this, well, but it tells you something about where mueller is. This is not just an investigation about obstruction of justice. This is about collusion. Yes. And youre right. So listen, john. More details now. The New York Times is reporting President Trump pushed his lawyers to try to reach an agreement with muellers team about sitting for an interview. Do you believe this president wants to sit down with the special counsel or does he want it to seem that way to the public . I think its the latter phase of the question. He wants it to seem that he wants to sit down. Im sure his lawyers dont want him to sit down. But, you know, the man has such an ego. He might sincerely believe that he can somehow turn mueller to think his own investigation is a witch hunt. I doubt that he can do that. But trumps imagination seems to have no boundaries. Yeah. That is an interesting way of putting it. All right, gentlemen, stick
around. Were going to continue to talk about it. More on the russia investigation and all the new details coming out on it today. Well be right back. Mayers min to put a better hot dog in every hand. And thats just what we do. With no artificial preservatives, no added nitrates or nitrites, and by waving bye to byproducts. So you can get back to loving them. For the love of hot dogs.

The president stepping up his attacks on the special counsels investigation just a little while ago he called russias interference a hoax for about the millionth time, umpteenth time. Im back with carl and john. Carl, we know that your former colleague bob woodward coming out with a new book on the trump white house. You say the scandals surrounding the Trump Administration are
getting worse than watergate. Why do you say that . I think this is worse than watergate because the system worked in water gate. It worked among other things, because republicans said what did the president know and when did he know it . And they pursued the truth unlike republicans on capitol hill today who have provided cover for donald trump to cover up in whatever has occurred here in this question of collusion and obstruction of justice. So thats the first big difference of why this is worse than watergate. On top of which we learned in watergate that president nixon was guilty of crimes that he, indeed, had undertaken authoritarian use of the powers of the presidency to order breakins and it was republicans once again who said that cannot happen on our watch. The president must be held accountable. Nor did we have a president in
nixon who sought to undermine the western alliance. So, you know, under President Trump, putin has destabilized the United States of america and our electoral system. That did not happen under richard nixon. Yeah. John, i want your take. Is history repeating itself or is it becoming worse than watergate . Whats your take . Ive always used the title worse than watergate. You have . Yes. About the torture in the bush administration, bush two which i thought was pretty bad, but i think we are in an area thats worse than water gate aside from python and ostrich coats which never made it to the watergate scene, we do have something that was unlike watergate in that a foreign adversary is involved in the hacking of the dnc. With watergate it started with just a bungled burglary and expanded from beyond that. Of course, the definition of watergate in the end meant far more than the burglary and cover up. It came to mean the abuse of power that nixon had demonstrated both preceding watergate and during watergate that marked it as a unique reason he would be likely impeached had he not resigned. So i think but i think were beyond that. I think the points carl makes are well made. You think were seeing a coverup right now . I think were still in the middle of it, and i never feared for the country during watergate. I fear for the country and i fear for our democracy right now. I have a knot in my stomach. Its been there ever since donald trump won the election. Never had that with nixon. I know he would ultimately apply and follow the law. With trump, im not sure. Carl, you were saying absolutely . Is that what you said . Yes. Among other things weve got to consider here, you talk about
bob woodwards book. One of the things that one would hope that we would see in the reporting from the newspapers, from the networks, from bobs book is the question of whether or not this president is acting in a competent and coherent manner, because every evidence that we see so far is that he is incoherent and not competent in terms of how he is conducting the presidency and the policies of the United States. That is a all of these questions are related to the russia investigation, to what we saw in helsinki. In helsinki, What The Hell happened in helsinki . We dont know. Did that occur, what we saw on the stage because of incompetence or because of nefariousness on the part of the president of the United States . This is unprecedented. We have never had a president of the United States whose loyalty
has been called into question by responsible members of both parties in the congress of the United States. Its never happened. John, carl has said President Trump is unhinged in a way weve never seen publicly with nixon, with the tweeting and his behavior and what he does at rallies and on and on. Privately was nixon unhinged . Nixon had a drinking problem. He would get fairly loose late at night own get on the telephone and have some pretty unhinged conversations, but we went in the office in the morning and was cold sober. He wasnt somebody who drank on the job or totally lost control. There were checks that were placed on him late in watergate. His secretary of defense, for example, said listen, dont follow any extreme orders without clearing them with me first which is highly unusual. The secretary was worried he might try to use his war powers to somehow deflect from his
watergate problems. Were not there yet with trump. In fact, its trumps incompetency right now that i take some comfort in. He doesnt know how to use the powers of the presidency the way nixon did, who was a student of the presidency, who had been in congress, who had been Vice President before he became president. He knew where the levers were and how to work them. Trump hasnt figured that out yet. I always enjoy my conversations with you gentlemen. Thank you so much. When we come back the president attacking the media again tonight but his daughter had this to say. No, i do not feel the media is the enemy of the people. But hes not letting her have the last word, though. Well, were going to tell you how hes trying to explain away what you just heard her say there, next. When i received the diagnoses,
the first daughter ivanka trump did something today youll rarely hear her do. That is contradict her father which apparently didnt sit well with the president since he promptly tried to explain it away. So i want to bring in now cnn contributor frank bruiny, amanda carpenter, who is author of gaslighting america, why we love it when trump lies to us. Thank you all for joining us. Again, this is one of those examples think of dont believe what you see or hear unless it comes out of Donald Trumps mouth. Right . Ivanka was asked if she believes the media is the enemy of the people. This is her response. Ive certainly received my fair share of reporting on me personally that i know not to be fully accurate, so ive had
some i have some sensitivity around why people have concerns and gripe, especially when theyre sort of feel targeted but, no, i do not feel the media is the enemy of the people. Why do you think she broke with her father . Theres a whole lot there. What did you think . First, theres a lot of Throat Clearing at the beginning of that answer. You know, i think she broke with her father because shes in the midst of an image reset. An image overhaul. Shes doing that interview because shes trying to come back out into public. She just got rid of the business. We had a story in our paper about a week ago that clearly reflected the fact that people around ivanka were saying you need to take a fresh look at her. Shes getting her act together again. Shes going to step back out on the stage. So shes breaking with her father. Its not that much of a break, because shes trying to tell the world what she said from the beginning. I have the name trump, but im
not in totally with my father. Im different and modern. Rehabilitating her image . Yes. My question is and listen, i know its tough. Everyone who is in The Public Eye really gets media criticism. There are things people write about you that arent true. Much of it you cannot control. As so if i were in her shoes i would say as awful as that is, i am in a unique position to be able to have a front seat to creating to implementing policies that are good for the American People so no one should feel sorry for me because not everyone gets the opportunity i have in a lifetime to effect change the way i am. Unless she said it after, i did not see that. She should hire you. Its so easy and simple. Shes one of the most frustrating figures in the Trump Administration. Youre right. She could do that. She wants to have it all. Shes an opportunist. Lets be really honest about
this. She went along for the ride. She want to be in washington. She had her glamorous instagram feed. She told us all along you want me here because im going to restrain him, im going to moderate him. Im much better off here than anywhere else. She did nothing. She did not restrain him on Climate Change or trade or nafta. All the things where she supposedly had distance from her father, she did not restrain him on. Now she steps out and says these things and shes trying to once again participate this image of herself, but to what effect . Right. And even the children being separated at the border, apparently she didnt agree with that but never said anything about it publicly before it happened. Amanda, what do you think of this . Her response . Well, she had to shut down
her business because no one was buying her dresses anymore. I think she needs to shut down the pseudo advisory role. No one is buying it. The problem is the remarks speak to the privilege that she enjoys in this white house as first daughter and adviser that she feels entitled to protect her brand rather than defend the words and policies of her boss like all other white house employees are expected to do. When she was asked about the family detention policies, she spoke to her feelings and said its complicated, this isnt easy. And i feel very emotional about this issue. Thats just very hard to buy when weve heard the cries of children, parents, you know, mothers and fathers on tape and were supposed to believe she feels badly about it and so we should just give them a pass. Was she not in the room for the Zero Tolerance Planning Policies . Because that pain was the policy. That was supposed to be and thats her role as an adviser, to advise her father. Right. Heres what the president
tweeted. They asked my daughter whether or not the media is the enemy of the people. She correctly said no. It is the fake news which is a large percentage of the media that is the enemy of the people. If we break it down, right, he couldnt handle his daughter contradicting him. Again, as i said this is one of those dont believe what you hear and see things. Thats what she said. She said i dont believe the media. She didnt say the fake media, she said the news media. No, and she gave a good, honest answer. Its one we would expect to hear from someone in the white house. But theres no other employee that the president would play cleanup for on twitter, and if you want to see the difference in her status in that white house, look at her remarks which, again, i welcome, and how they contrast with what Sarah Huckabee sanders said at the briefing where she was asked i think three times by jim acosta why wont you say that the press isnt the enemy of the
people . And she every time acted aggrieved like ive been attacked too. Thats the president s view and im sticking by it. Theres a huge gap. Amanda, you brought it up. This is what she also broke her silence on Family Separation. This is what she said. That was a low point for me as well. I feel very strongly about that, and i am very vehemently against Family Separation and the separation of parents and children, so i would agree with that sentiment. I think immigration is incredibly complex as a topic. Illegal immigration is incredibly complicated. So 572 children, by the way, remain, frank, separated from their parents and there are Different Reasons why. But they say some of them may not belong you know, they have all kind of excuses. Some of them may be true. Benefit of the doubt with that, but still, this was handled very poorly from the beginning. That audio of the children crying that amanda mentioned that came out in midjune, it galvanized the country and said oh, my gosh, this is great. Wouldnt that have been or even before the time for her to speak out . Im wondering if everyone is what do you think of this sort of profile and courage or is it not i mean, she wants total sympathy and no responsibility and no accountability. And thats what shes wanted from the beginning. I got to say im a little offended when shes talking about how emotional it was for her, how much it disappointed her, et cetera. We heard nothing from her privileged Vantage Point about how this came to be. About why this happened in the first place. About why it went on as long as it did. About what theyre doing to remedy it. No, were Hearing Nothing of that. And shes supposedly a close
advisor of the president making a positive impact, but we heard nothing substantive. We heard about how down it made her feel. Well, im a lot more worried about the children than ivanka trump. Thank you both. Appreciate it. When we come back, president telling The World Tonight what a great meeting he had with Vladimir Putin just hours after his top intel people confirm that putins russia is a serious threat to our democracy. Its league night . saved money on Motorcycle Insurance with geico goin up the country. Bowl without me. Frank. im going to get nachos. Snack bars closed. Gah ah, ah ah.

But, with more exercise and a change in diet, it can be reversed. Ive tried exercising. It just makes me hungry. For bacon. I love bacon, too. And who really likes to exercise . Not me. Me neither nobody [both laugh] so, were good . What . Oh, you still have prediabetes. Big time. Glasser is here. Good evening to you. Thank you, don. What do you make of the timing of all of this . Why today of all days did the white house choose to trot out all these intelligence people to talk about the russia threat . You know its a good question. I think were looking at extended play cleanup duty from the helsinki summit. Clearly there was a sense that even among members of his own party felt that trump had gone too far in lavishing praise on Vladimir Putin and raising questions in the Press Conference with putin about his own intelligence agencys conclusion. So i think what you saw today was extraordinary briefing in the white house by five senior top intelligence officials and other National Security officials. They are all single from the same page and saying not only that they agree this Election Interferen interference occurred in 2016, but they are determined to make sure it Doesnt Repeat in 2018. The one guy missing is president
trump and he contradicted them essentially a few hours later never mentioning this important priority of his government and once again calling the russia investigation a hoax. So, susan, the president talked about the helsinki summit. He spoke of it as a boxing match tonight. And you actually use that analogy in one of your articles. Well, you know, i have to say i was wondering where President Trump got this. He said a couple times including tonight after helsinki you know, those people in washington, they just wanted me to have a boxing match with Vladimir Putin. But, hey, im giving diplomacy a chance. It was a great meeting. Well, actually it was a Longtime State Department diplomat who told me in the run up to helsinki, he said that he worried that trump was so unprepared for the meeting that he would be like an amateur boxer going up against muhammad ali. Thats the only Boxing Analogy that im aware of before the summit. Of course, he wasnt saying that trump should get in there and punch Vladimir Putin. He was saying that the United States is not being represented
by a president who is really prepared to go toe to toe with someone our government or the rest of our government considers an adversary. Remember, putin has been leader of russia for 18 years now. Hes met with four consecutive american president s four total american president s. Trumps three predecessors have come out feeling in many ways that they misread Vladimir Putin and didnt get what they wanted out of the relationship. So yeah, i think a lot of people would agree he was like an amateur up against a pro like muhammad ali in that meeting. But its interesting, isnt it, that it really stuck with President Trump. He seemed stung by that criticism. And just hours, though, susan. He firmly stated russian interference has happened and continues to be a threat. The president says he had a great meeting with putin and called out the russian hoax. These are quotes, russian hoax, great meeting. What message does that send,
lets say, to the russians . I think that is an important point that youre bringing up, don. Because, you know, putin has always been a believer that only his peers, president s and other leaders really matter. I remember when i was based in moscow during george w. Bushs presidency and he, putin was getting some criticism from colin powell, from the u. S. Ambassador at the time, and he and his advisors basically said, yes, but we havent heard this from the president himself. Therefore, this criticism doesnt matter. And i believe that that is the way Vladimir Putin would look at this situation and say basically, well let trumps Bureaucracy Say whatever they need to say, but the president himself has assured me as recently as helsinki that he doesnt take this seriously. And i think that putin would get the message that this is a divided government and that the president himself is not on the same page as his own bureaucracy, which, by the way, is the right message to get. Its very clear a year and a half into this, no matter how many times his advisors go out there and say that they care about russian interference and are determined to do something about it, that trump himself has not is not on board with that policy.
