A news and interview program, anchored by Erin Burnett. About keeping President Trumps secrets but will he keep them if mueller closes a trap on stone. Were learning of another big blow to stone, a judge ordering another person close to stone to appear before the mueller grand jury, thats former stone associate Andrew Miller. He fought a subpoena from mueller, the judge, though, said no. So Andrew Miller will appear. And today trumps former Campaign Chairman faced another day in court. Prosecutors slamming Paul Manafort for a fourth day showing he lied on his taxes, lies, lies, and more lies is the story from prosecutors and lets be clear, roger stone and Paul Manafort were not coffee boys Like Team Trump has tried to dismiss another trump aide who pleaded guilty in the russia informati
testimony in which she described a loan for 900,000. I think we have the exhibits the government showed in court for a 900,000 loan in 2014 and according to her own testimony, this money was supposed to be classified as income but by classifying it as a loan, it allowed Paul Manafort to reduce his taxes by as much as a half Million Dollars for that year. So here we have for the first time someone who is an insider explaining how this conspiracy works. The government has charged him with bank fraud and tax fraud. And what this is building to is they are going move on to other charges. Rick gates, his testimony will be a very fiery thing baht r because we expect Paul Manaforts lawyers will attack him as someone who lied to the fbi. Hes pleaded guilty to lying to the fbi so expect some of that
roger stone, you have this woman testifying and another associate now losing his fight, hes going to have to testify as well yet trump was silent. Maybe because of that ch. But frump silent one day means noisy the next. Its interesting to wonder about whats going through his head. Theres no way the president isnt noticing this he may believe they have nothing say about him but either way it becomes clear to him and this is a day that reminds him of that how wide ranging the Mueller Investigation is. So heres the thing. I remember several months ago having lunch with Michael Cohen and he said to me well theyve never called me, theyve never talked to me and i remember almost kind of jokingly saying well, that means youre toast. But that was what the case was. In terms of theyre going to be looking into him. Stone is the same way. Not talking to stone but we have kristin davis, other people close to him, sam nunberg, michael caputo. What does this mean for stone . It means that muellers probe is thriving on the anxiety and uncertainty of all these things. Remember, his directive is not simply to look at the campaignrelated collusion. Rosenstein said if he comes across any other Criminal Activity in the course of that investigation he need not ignore it as a pile of cocaine as he searches for homicide in the house. He can look at the coffee table as swollen to just as the situation with Michael Cohen, it may now be that perhaps donald trump is silent because a target is not him in that capacity and everyone is closer and closer to roger stone with the wikileaks, with the sam nunberg interview talking about the zoning in on him and he has reason and cause to be nervous. I mean, when you add it up, does stone get indicted here . Is that what this is building words . It certainly is building in
falsified things. Some else interesting is going on which is all of these people who worked on manaforts taxes asking who is in charge. All are saying manafort is the man in charge and thats a specific deliberate question. Theyve been putting it to everybody. And the Washington Post saying the lead attorney for manafort was talking to people during a break and his defense was nobody intending to violate the law would lead the evidence around for his accountant to find. It that sounds like Rudy Giuliani making a comment that know one commits a crime in broad daylight or the open. Sounds ironic. Thats what happened here according to the prosecutions case. If you know youre going to have a complicit accountant to falsify the documents, certainly you would lead the evidence and bred crumbs for that person to
find its ridiculous for a jury to be expected thats not sequestered, that may not buy this Scapegoating Tactic that everyone is against you and you have no knowledge this is going on. Everyone out of the goodness of their heart and against their licenses decided ill help you commit a crime because i dont want you not have that jacket. He said i didnt know i was doing it. The accountant is admitting they did it on his behalf. Youre supposed to believe the accountant didnt come back and say just checking this doesnt add up. That the account would take that on themselves. So what you saw the first day of the trial they were trying to say listen, all this is crazy, this lavish spending. Now were getting to the meat of the bone that says why did he need these Loan Documents . Who was helping him . Did you commit fraud . Its a documentheavy case, not one about he said versus she said. Its either the documents speaks the truth or dont. Either you were 3 millions up or one million in the hole. Rick gates is prosecutors have cedric gates wasnt directing it, Paul Manafort said i want the m cut in my flowers and heres my landscaping bill, et cetera, et cetera. So he stood for Paul Manafort, now he turned on the guy who was his mentor and boss. This will be an incredible moment for him. What do you think hell say . I think it will be a difficult moment and probably well expect drama in the courtroom. What were seeing with the trend of the immunized witnesses gives us insight into what will happen with gatess testimony. The big question is are they going to step forward and admit to complete knowledge, deliberately engaging in fraud . They are doing that with that account and most likely thats what youll see with gates. My prediction would be based on that trend he will come forward and say manafort knew about this, that they are working together on this and this is a tough flip for the defense. They need to confront that head on and try and turn that tide against him and that will be rough. Two men prized and praised by the president. Roger stone and Paul Manafort in the cross hairs of mueller, a crucial night for this president. Thank you all three. Next, another republican backed by trump scoring a big primary win. The president s Batting Average so far is through the roof. Should democrats counting on this big wave be very afraid .

President trump heading back to the Campaign Trail after Notching Another Big Win Last Night in tennessee. Thats where trumps pick, congresswoman marsha blackburn, won the election for the senate seat. Up front, joan walsh, the
nations National Affairs correspondent and cnn political commentator along with steve cortez, member of the president s 2020 reelected a vi reelectcouncil. When you look at trumps candidate he is endorsed, congress or senate or governor, his wins, 19, his loss column, four. Could he singlehandedly deliver the house . Absolutely not. His win record, erin, is only in republican primaries so far so when hes gone out and campaigned and rallied for rick saccone, connor lamb won that seat. Doug jones won the seat in alabama. When he endorsed ed gillespie in virginia, Ralph Northam won that seat. So this is his party, hes won the republican part yy but hes
hurting his candidates so far. I might surprise, joan. I agree i think this is the democrats race to use. History argues on their side when you look historically. The first midterm is disastrous, it was for obama and clinton. It was for ronald reagan. Current polling, Real Clear Politics Average shows 7 advantage for democrats. So you dont look at the primaries, steve, at the 194 Win Loss Record and feel calmed . Well, i dont feel calmed. Im worried. But heres how i get over the worry and how as republicans we Score Abupset is we need to rally as a party much more to donald trump. The reason those 230 districts are not solid, the reason those Arent Solidly in the republican camp for this 2018 race is because too many squish Establishment Republicans in washington, d. C. On the hill
have not embraced the trump agenda. If they do in the next couple months and if trump can put himself on the ballot and name a reelect and hes going to campaign as hard as he did in 2016 in the coming weeks and months, if he does that, we have a Fighting Chance but its an uphit battle. Joan, when trump goes on the campaign, he loves this. This is like oxygen. He had a Campaign Last night, people can talk about this in their sleep. But the key thing is what he said here. Lets get back to boring subjects like bob casey. [ laughter ] so bob casey isnt that boring . I have to talk about bob casey . Dont fall asleep as we talk about sleeping bob. [ laughter ] sleeping bob. Thats it sleeping bob. Okay. Thats funny. You know what . Bob casey can sleep because hes 250b9 points ahead of lou barletta in his race. That doesnt worry you . Thats the thing that trump does. He gives a nickname, makes people laugh, democrats didnt figure out what to do with it, republicans didnt figure out what to do with it and he crushed them all. He didnt crush hillary clinton, she won by Three Million votes, the popular vote. But were an Electoral College country. Thats not what decides elections, joan, you know that very well. Steve, stop yelling in my ear. I didnt yell but we have a constitution he won the Electoral College, i agree. He did not crush hillary clinton. We have a constitution. He didnt crush anybody. He did electorally and thats all that matters. And lou barletta is not is anybody ready for this . This is the way trump beats
people. He comes in and everybody laugh s. All of these vulnerable senators like bob casey, like sherrod brown, like tammy baldwin, like joe manchin, theyre up in their races, erin. That was supposed to be a baghdad bath for democrats, especially the senate. Real clear politics only has seven tossup seats and three are actually republican seats. Democrats are defending their turf really well. So this wont go well for steve. Well talk in november. The opposite is the case. The democrats are clearly favored here. History, polling. Not in the senate. The democrats are defending like 23 senate seats. No credible person thinks the democrats can take no credible person thinks the democrats can take the senate. A couple analysts said its a tossup. I think thats ludicrous but
regardless. In the house they are clearly favored and how do we republicans score an upset win . Trump has to make the case and people like me have to make the case that this is in effect his second election because if the democrats take the house they will impeach the president. And theyre trying to be coy and talk around it and whisper around it. Some people arent like tom steyer. Theyre being honest but the reality is if they take the house they will impeach the president. And if we get that message out only if he deserves it. To the deplorables, to people like me glad youre calling yourself deplorable. Im very proudly a deplorable. Thats good. If we convince my fellow deplorables that this is a referendum on the trump presidency, that they are trying to nullify 2016 then we have a Fighting Chance but were the underdogs. We have to be scrappy and fight. Certainly that scenario you have to put out is that you wont get turnout if you say youre the underdog, i totally get it. But from your point of view, joan, you have to act like you dont have in the the bag. Its race by race and these are local races, especially these house races. Theyre local races so people have to focus on local issues. It cant be just counting on anger at trump. That fires up the base but doesnt get everybody out the door to vote so i dont take anything for granted but this minute things look good for democrats. The sleeping bob was funny and steve im sure you will give it to joan that joans response, he can afford to sleep because hes 20u7 poiup 20 points. Well talk about it in notch. Trump and his National Security team far from on the same page when it comes to russia. We acknowledge the threat. Its real. Its continuing. So why did the president hours later say it was a hoax .

A claim the president made to the entire nation at a rally just hours after his own intelligence chiefs appeared at the white house to say, yet again from their point of view, russia attacked american democracy. As i have said consistently, russia attempted to interfere with the last election. Now were being hindered by the russian hoax. We continue to see a pervasive messaging campaign by russia to try to weaken and divide the United States. In helsinki i had a great meeting with putin. They wanted me to walk up and go like this.
