A look at breaking news, politics and reports from Around The World. No hint of their conditions or demands. Hes got all honestly he has all of the information that he needs. The interview will Pronide Nothing in addition to what he already has. Reporter he said the probe should be finished by September 1st but the time line is up to mueller and not giuliani. For months they have sought to limit facetoface questions about obstruction of justice. A Key Point Of Mueller Inquiry the president repeatedly rails against. That is a total witch hunt. Reporter the president out of public view again at his new jersey golf club. But keeping a close eye on the fraud trial of his former Campaign Chairman paul manafort. But tension inside of the virginia courtroom with judge ellis telling a Government Prosecutor to hurry things along. As a concession to the shortness of life, we need to get it done. Also today the Senate Intelligence committee calling on wikileaks founder Julian Assange to make himself available for an interview for an inquiry into the interference in the 2016 election. About a month ago. So theyre a bit late on this. Their hands are tied. It is required by law. The big test is going to be if russia does not meet the next round of requirements, including allowing inspections of the chemical weapons facilities and in 90 days the administration will have to impose much harsher sanctions, including possibly the end of diplomatic relations and that is a big test for this administration. And were learning more about senator rand pauls Visit To Moscow and the letter he brought to the putin government from trump. Were getting more information on all of that. What are you hearing. We now have the contents of that letter that he carried and it is apparently not as advertised based on the tweet from rand paul it appeared this is some communication between trump and putin but it appears President Trump wrote something of a Letter Of Introduction for rand paul who wanted to get a meeting with putin during his trip to moscow. He mentioned a number of things to talk about, legislative exchanges, cultural exchanges, the conflicts in syria and
the need for diplomacy. Diplomacy, conversations, dialogue and communication is important and my goal in coming to russia is to say that we want to have open lines of communication. Reporter however paul did not answer cnn question when asked if he confronted russian officials about russias ongoing interference in u. S. Politics. Senator, did you speak about Election Interference as well . Does that come up . We had general discussions about a lot of issues. And basically we decided that right now what were trying to do is have dialogue and i dont think we solve issues other than our Biggest Issue is no dialogue. It isnt the issues at hand reporter pauls apparent lack of urgency stands in sharp contrast to the nations senior most National Security officials, just last week they delivered the stark warning that russian interference remains pervasive today. It goes beyond the elections, it goes to russia s intent to
undermine our democratic values. Reporter putins Officials Say they handled this letter through normal diplomatic channels and did not give any official response and rand did not get his meeting with putin as he wanted. On a different issue. I know youre getting word on the latest information involving the Senate Intelligence committee, they would like to interview the wikileaks founder Julian Assange about interference in the 2016 election. Its wikileaks that announced this request from the Senate Intelligence committee but they have not commented on this. Wikileaks saying theyve been asked to be interviewed by the Senate Intelligence committee and u. S. Intelligence views wikileaks as what is known as a cutout. They acted as a middle man with russia during the election stole the information from the Democratic Party and then, wolf, handed it on to wikileaks which release the that information. Im spoken to Julian Assanges lawyers and they havent said
whether they made a decision to accept this request. But they have said they are considering it. Some of the questions are going to be, where does it take place because right now he is taking refuge in the Ecuador Embassy and would he leave for this interview and would the u. S. Try to extradite him if he were to do so. The british arrested absolutely. Thank you very much. Jim sciutto with information for us. Lets get more on this. Eric swalwell of california is joining us. Hes a member of both the intelligence and judiciary committee. I want to begin with the new sanctions the Trump Administration is now imposing against the russians for their role in the poisoning of this former russian spy in the ux k. And his daughter. Do you support the action taken by the Administration Today . Good evening, wolf. I do support additional sanctions and thankfully this came at the behest of congress who had a a deep interest in
making sure russia would answer for what they did in Great Britain and i think additional sanctions will be needed because they continue to meddle in our elections today. Senator bill nelson announced today that he believes floridas Election Systems have been penetrated by the russians. And so it is when Congress Pushes the president and the administration to act, because i think left to their own devices, they would let russia one wild throughout our democracy and our allies. And moving on to another sensitive issue. Do you believe Robert Mueller should take the deal offered by the president s personal lawyer Rudy Guiliani, significantly narrowing the scope of a potential interview with the president . No, wolf. We dont allow witnesses or suspects to set the Negotiating Terms in criminal investigations and the president shouldnt be treated any differently than any other suspect. Look, wolf, this is really about who do you believe . Do you believe bob mueller who has indicted two dozen individuals and obtained five guilty pleas and about to go to
verdict with paul manafort, or do you believe the president of the United States who continues to lie and give misleading statements about his involvement with russia and refuses to sit down and answer the questions that have already been given to him. I think right now bob mueller has all of the credibility and he should use that leverage. How long should mueller engage in these negotiations with the Trump Legal Team before issuing a subpoena . You know, im going to leave that to bob mueller. But, wolf, donald trump is the reason that this is delaying. Hes the reason that this investigation is not wrapped up. Hes been given the questions and it looks like most witnesses have already been interviewed. But when you tamper with witnesses, when you lie to investigators, when you obstruct justice and dont sit in the chair, it takes a lot longer. Lets turn to another important story. You just heard jim sciutto report on the Senate Intelligence committee apparently requested that the wikileaks founder Julian Assange make himself available for an interview regarding russian interference in the 2016
election. Do you think he has valuable information . I do, wolf. And if you remember it was back in October Of 2016 just as we were hearing candidate trumps words as he was talking to billy bush and describing women in such awful ways, hours after that video was made available, wikileaks started to dump the documents that were stolen from john podesta by the russians and so there is a a connection and i think there are questions that need to be answered by them. And assange has taken up refuge at the embassy in london and do you think he would risk his freedom to do so to do this interview with members of the Senate Intelligence committee . Well, if hes irnlts interested in telling a truthful story and has nothing to hide, i think he would. I think he has other legal problems as well. But i think the senate will probably show some flexibility
because his testimony and also comparing his testimony to what we know about what roger stone was doing with wikileaks and guccifer 2. 0 would shed light on what was happening with the Trump Administration, their campaign and wikileaks. Congressman, thanks so much for joining us. My pleasure. Just ahead, more on the arrest of one of President Trumps closest congressional allies, congressman Chris Collins.

breaking news tonight. Were standing by to hear from congressman and close trump ally Chris Collins to pleaded not guilty today, just a little while ago to charges of Insider Trading and lying to the fbi. Our National Correspondent is outside of the courthouse in new york where he was arraigned. Brin, colins is free on half a Million Dollars bond. Reporter that is right. All three men are and they had to turn in their passports. The congressmans diplomatic passport. They appeared before a judge and appeared calm when they said they were not guilty. But according to the u. S. Attorneys office these three men were anything but calm. Upon hearing that the drug trial failed for this drug they were heavily invested in and then the u. S. Attorneys office laid out of a time line to unload stocks to save hundreds of thousands of dollars and the u. S. Attorney saying they thought they were above the law. Republican congressman Chris Collins, first member of congress to support donald trump arraigned in Federal Court after prosecutors charged him and his son cameron and another man Steven Czarski with 13 counts of Security Fraud and wire fraud and making a false statement to the fbi. The charges stemming from an alleged Insider Trading scheme. It played out on the south lawn of the white house last year according to court documents. At the center, a Pharmaceutical Company called Innate Immunotherapeutics where collins was a board member. He was told confidential and highly Sensitive Information about innate. Information that was not yet made public. Namely, that inmates main drug, the druggin na the drug inna developing to be the backbone of the company was a total failure. Reporter according to the 30page complaint, that happened while he attended the annual
congressional picnic at the white house on june 22nd, 2017. Federal prosecutors say collins received nnd an email that the drug had failed its trial and at 7 10 he responded to the email and proceeded to try to reach his son cameron. The two placing six calls over a period of five minutes and connecting on the seventh call. Later that night, cameron drove to the home of Steven Czarski, the father of his fiance and then at 9 34 his wife placed a call to her stockbroker to sell shares of the company according to the complaint. Prosecutors allege that between the opening of the market on Friday June 23rd and the close of business on the following monday, Cameron Collins sold a total of nearly 1. 4 million shares of in in nate. They said they avoided 750,000 in losses on the stock. Here is a better inside tip for those who think they can play by a different set of
rules. Access to this kind of information carries with it significant responsibility. Especially for those in society who hold a position of trust. Act honorably and in accordance with the law and do not lie to especially agents of the fib sfwlrvelg. Reporter collins has been dodging questions for over a year. Congressman tom price, a friend of yours nominated to be secretary of health and Human Services facing serious ethics questions after acting on a stock tip from you. This is what all came up in the hearing. Did you encourage him to buy stock in this Company Called Innate Immunotherapeutics. No, absolutely not. There was nothing done that was Insider Trading or unethical. Ive been involved with innate they therapeutics in 15 years and im the largest shareholder and im involved all of the time just like you talk about your
children. Reporter it made National Headlines by becoming a frequent trump surrogate during the 2016 campaign and his lawyers saying in a statement well answer the charges filed against the congressman in court and amount a vigorous defense to clear his good name. Were confident hell be completely vindicated and exonerated. And the congressman has been known to tout this company to members of capitol hill. We saw that happen again wolf in the interview with you in 2017. And we asked the u. S. Attorneys office if we could expect more indictments down the road of either people on capitol hill or maybe someone in the Trump Administration or former Trump Administration and it was a strong no comment from the u. S. Attorneys office. Of course we saw that statement from the congressman but we are expecting more words from him about this and these allegations at a Press Conference supposedly starting very shortly. Momentarily it will start in buffalo, new york. Well see what he has to say. Well have live coverage. Brin, thank you very much. Lets dig deeper into the
case with senior analyst, preet bharara. What is your analysis on Chris Collins and his son and another individual, what stands out to you. That office as you may remember has a lot of experience doing Insider Trading cases. We presided over scores of such cases and even against that back drop and given the experience that i have as a u. S. Attorney there, this is an extraordinary document. The timeline that was laid out by the report a couple of minutes ago is incredibly incriminating. It doesnt seem like there are wiretaps like in some of our cases but the mere fabts the fact that shun that someone gets Bad Information and replied and saying how could this be true in the email and one minute later sending an or calls his son from the white house lawn no less, they engage in phone tag and then there is a conversation that lasts for six minutes. Even if it is not recorded, i
think a reasonable juror, if there is a trial in this case, would surmise, given that the stock was then traded later and losses were avoided, that the only thing that could have happened in that case was an Insider Trading offense. It reminds me of a particular case that we had when i was in the office against a very significant figure in finance named roger gupta who was the head of mckenzie and during the relevant time period of our case against him i was on the he was on the board of Goldman Sachs and gets inside information and within minutes, the same kind of parallel case here, made calls to somebody and then trades were made based on the insider information. There was no wiretap so you couldnt prove beyond a reasonable doubt of what was said to the letter on the phone calls but a jury found that very persuasive and convicted. And the other thing that is bizarre here, you are used to seeing criminal defendants engage in bad behavior and they are usually not people who have won the trust by being elected
to congress in this way. That is a rare phenomenon. But this is not somebody off the radar screen. As you pointed out in the report a second ago, he was on notice that he was under ethical review and people were looking at his finances and association as a board member and as a proponent of buying stock in this company and you basically put upon notice in the interview six months before the crimes that are enunciated in this indictment were committed and in that context to Brazenly Go Forward and create a phone a set of proof for prosecutors to use to a devastating effect in this indictment is mildly surprising and im not often surprised. And we have live pictures from buffalo. The statement that is coming forward from Chris Collins. Well have live coverage and see what he announces. You say the issue was discussed regularly, even before the stock collapsed in the aftermath of
that Clinical Trial failure for a form of ms. I want to listen to the exchange i had with Congressman Collins in january of 2017. Were you telling other constituents and friends of yours to go ahead and this is a great stock and go buy it. I never said to buy it or it is a great i talked to them about the great work this company is doing, the market for secondary progressive m. S. And, yes, there are many hundreds 50, 100 people from western new york, Friends And Family and so forth who decide the on their own, this was a pretty darn good investment and it certainly turned out you saw the stories of politico and the Washington Post saying you were bragging to your friends how many millionaires emerged from this company. Well i wouldnt use the word bragging. It is was a it is a factual and i got off the house floor on the phone and talking about the price of the stock and how many of our good friends 50 good friends all investors for 11
years this is not like and they all become millionaires as a result of this one stock. Many of them did. Because they were buying it at 15 cents and trading at 1. 10 so that was we should point out this interview was in january of 2017, and that is several months before the allegations contained in the formal indictment released today which date from june of 2017. But listen to collins during that interview. He was bragging about making his Friends And Family millionaires based on this stock tip. Would that kind of behavior put collins on Investigators Radar . Yes. Consider me oldfashioned and quaint, but i dont think that sitting congressman should be on boards of publicly traded companies or sitting congressman should be making stock tips and i dont think Sitting Congressmen should own individual stocks when they are in a position to engage in legislation and impose regulations on the industry where they own stock. And you see here as i was saying
a few minutes ago. Youre basically telling him that he is on the radar screen for potential Insider Trading. Hes telling you whether it is believable or not. I dont know. Hes been charged with lying to the fbi. And youre perhaps more formidable than the average fbi agent but i dont know that he wasnt lying to you either and even after all of that he decides to engage in this behavior in part because im sure he felt bad, because he couldnt sell his own stock and lost millions of dollars and this is part of the defense that he brings to baear, he encouragd other people to invest in the company and include the son and the father of his fiancee and other folks not identified in the indictment and wanted to give them the ability to get out of the stock. Now i dont know if he told some of the other people he was boasting became millionaires. If he told them also to get out of the stock. And there may be other shoes to drop still. In his entertainment the lawyers statement they pointed out he didnt sell his own stock when he got the bad word that the Clinical Trial had failed. But the allegation the assertion in the indictment is that he told his son who immediately began to sell a lot of stock and wound up saving mfl a Million Dollars. That is not required. In Insider Trading there is a tipper, and the tipee and so it is not necessary guilty of conduct in Insider Trading and in the same way you hire a hitman to kill someone and because you werent the shooter doesnt mean youre not guilty of conspiracy for homicide. And they are reluctant to indict officials up for reelection and the Department Guidelines say they avoid taking steps to sway voters and so what do you make of the timing of the arrest. There are still a number of months before the election and they had come to the end of the investigation. They have based on the allegations that you see, and again hes presumed innocent but if you read the allegations and
my old office is credible, this is a good time to bring the evidence. It is difficult to decide when is a good time to bring a case against a sitting congressman given the terms are only two years. So any time other than right after being sworn in is not too far away from an election and so im sure they were cognizant and took care to do what was right. I believe it must be true that they consulted with folks at the Public Integrity section, that main justice in a case where you are bringing a charge against a sitting member of congress. And there were discussions about it and deem t was deemed appropriate and im they crossed every t and dotted every i. And the live pictures comi coming from buffalo where Chris Collins is about to make a statement. Ill have live coverage of that. As we await the start of that event, preet, let me get to another important story were following. Rudy guiliani, the president s potential lawyer laid out what is described as a Counter Offer significantly narrowing the
scope of a potential interview that the president would grant the Special Counsel. As a former prosecutor, would you ever accept the terms on the table and we pretty much know what Rudy Guiliani is seeking. Probably not. At some point it becomes an exercise in futility and gamesmanship. Mostly on the part of the trump team. I think when you are investigating openly and overt live like they are here, conduct by people close to a powerful figure like the president , you want to afford that person who is a subject of the investigation in all likelihood the opportunity to give you information, to explain conduct, to fill in some gaps and so part of it is the opportunity for them to explain to the prosecutor why there is nothing to see here and to be on your merry way. So part of it is that. On the other hand, you Dont Want To Limit and at the same time provide courtesy. That is not an abnormal thing o to to do in terms of time and scope whether it is a governor or mayor or the president of the
United States, you allow courtesy with respect to what the limitations might be on the interview but there is a point where it is silly and absurd i think particularly when there continues to be the back and forth by the president s lawye , bellitherently and in the evening on programs like yours and others. So i think that bob mueller would prefer to have the opportunity to interview the president. I dont know that theyll get there through this Negotiating Process and then bob mueller has to decide whether or not his folks will serve a subpoena. And when people ask the question, why not just serve the subpoena already. That will end up getting mired in litigation for a long period of time and the last time there was a subpoena issued to a president the subpoena was withdrawn and there were limitations put into place with respect the testimony the prosecutor could get at bill clinton at that time and were heading in that direction and i wouldnt be shocked to see that here as well. Giuliani said he wanted to avoid a perjury trap. What do you make of that . It is a sitting president of the United States. If he tells the truth, there is no perjury. If he tells the truth, there is no trap. So for a person who thinks that he has the ability to convince people to his Point Of View and a person who continues to say that he did nothing wrong, he should just talk and talk to the Special Counsel and not worry about these legalisms that Rudy Guiliani may or may not understand well. Do you think, preet, that Robert Mueller really even needs the president s testimony to conclude his investigation . Yeah, as i said, i think he would prefer it and you always want at the end of the day to have the opportunity to hear directly from as the phrase goes the horses mouth. Why did you engage in this conduct and make this decision and who did you consult . What was in your mind when you thought about these things and what did you mean when you told lester holt this and that to see what they say. And to make sure youre investigation is complete. At the end of the big investigations conducted overtly and some are conduct the in
secret, you want to avoid the other side the afford the other side the opportunity to explain and to see if you could build your case. So i dont know if bob mueller needs it. I think he would prefer it. And if he does need it, hell issue a subpoena. Stand by, were waiting to hear from Congressman Chris Collin Collinsss making a statement and he was aresident today and i want to get your thoughts afterwards. Well take a quick break and well be right back. Sfx [cell phone dialing] no. No, no, no, no, no. Cancel. Cancel. Please. Aaagh being in the know is a good thing.

standing by for a live statement from republican congressman Chris Collins who pled not guilty to Insider Trading and lie toi lying to the fbi. Well have live coverage. And also tonight Rudy Guiliani said mr. Trumps legal team has responded to the Special Counsel Robert Mueller about a possible interview with the president for the russia investigation. Lets dig deeper with our correspondents and analysts. Dana, you have been doing recording on this, is it realistic that the president will do this sitdown interview without a subpoena and Court Decision saying he must do so . Well, if you give truth serum to anybody around the president both in his legal team and maybe more importantly his Friends And Family and political advisers, theyre answer is we sure hope not. But the man himself, the
president , continues to say he wants to testify. And that is why theyre going through this very lengthy dance, frankly, with Robert Mueller and his team back and forth, proposals and counter proposals and that is why they responded today. We dont know the details. But we do know that this is the latest attempt to narrow the scope of the Subject Matter of the kinds of questions that the president could or would get in any interview. And it is just an open question whether or not Robert Mueller is going to continue these talks or hes going to say, never mind, im going to try to get a subpoena going. Or never mind, im going to give up and write a report without the president. We dont know. And more importantly, the president s legal team really doesnt know. They dont know what hes willing to do and what not to do. Which is why they have no
choice, because of their clients wishes and to keep the negotiations going. What message, david axelrod, would it send to the American Public if the president were to refuse to do a sitdown interview with the legally appointed Special Counsel investigating russian interference in the u. S. President ial election. I think the majority of the American Public it was in a negative message weve seen poll after poll suggesting people think he should. If asked. But to his bases been spending two years setting up a construct that said this is an unfair politically motivated investigation and if he decides not to testify at his lawyers behest, he will undoubtedly play that tune and say that im not going to submit myself to it. As to what dana said, im not a lawyer, preet was here previously and i guess hes standing by, no lawyer would suggest given all of the
contradictory statements that donald trump has made over the last several years and the Self Incriminating selfincriminating things that he said and did would have him sit down with mueller. But that is the message that it will send to most people which is hes afraid. Hes afraid to sit down because it would put him in jeopardy. Fair point. David, you have been studying this very closely. What do you think will happen . Well, i do wonder, since Rudy Guiliani said a couple of months ago, he thought he saw it as a 50 50 chance that mueller would actually subpoena the president. And that to me is where this battle could be headed. If they couldnt come to a conclusion, i do wonder and david rightly notes the polls, if it comes to a subpoena where the president is being asked to testify under oath and he rejects that, the American People will not be on his side on that. No matter how much ize able to get his base riled up on that,
overall the majority of americans have clearly said that he should do so. And i think if rudy puts the stats at 50 50, that is where this is headed. We may see a spectacular battle reach the Supreme Court. On the subpoena. And there is suggestion that mueller doesnt want to see that kind of fight going to the Supreme Court on a subpoena that could take a long time. There is reporting that he brought it up to President Trumps team and they balked at it and Rudy Guiliani said they would take it to court and would likely go to the Supreme Court and even though we have had president s who faced subpoenas before, clinton faced a subpoena and then testified willing will. But sort of the mess of it and the constitutional crisis, this idea that maybe mueller wouldnt want to face that and if finally the courts ruled that he had to in fact testify and he still refused, what is the recourse at that point . Is it sort of a Contempt Of Court . Theyre not going to jail the sitting president. Maybe there is a fine or something. Preet could speak to that better. But in the end, maybe he just doesnt testify. And the thing to remember wolf, you know what one at a time. Dana first. Just that Robert Mueller holds the cards here. And the president s legal team fully cop seeds that fully concedes that is the case. He holds the k5rds. They could put up as many offers and Counter Offers as they want but they understand theyre limitations and they also understand that Robert Mueller has a lot fewer limitations as weve been discussing. He can do a whole bunch of things. And they are really largely in the dark about how far hes willing to go. Theyre banking on the fact that he wouldnt want to have this Lengthy Court battle over a subpoena. They dont know that. Go ahead, david. Well one thing i was going to say is an interesting side line to this, is this is an issue
hanging over the Senate Confirmation of judge kavanaugh to the Supreme Court because hes made clear he doesnt think a president should be exposed to subpoena and potential legal jeopardy while in office. And this is a a really, really combustible point on which hes going to be questioned very, very closely. So the issue of what will happen if there is a subpoena is going to be in the air in washington in the coming months. Certainly is. Everybody standing by. Were awaiting the start of this statement that republican congressman Chris Collins of new york is about to make about his future and what his steps are going to be. He was arrested today by federal prosecutors in New York City charged with lying to the fbi and engaging in Insider Trading. Well be right back. So what do you guys want . Pistachio. Chocolate chip.

bash . Democrats might not have won. We still havent called the Special Election in ohio. At this point the republican is ahead. What this is doing for the base and it is hard to imagine the Democratic Base being more riled up. My understanding in talking to sources is that it is giving them even more of a feeling of wind at their back. That is something that is invaluable when you are looking at the kind of race, the kind of election that we are going to see in november. It is kind of what the notion of waves are built on. Its maybe inevitable. Im not saying that that is going to happen. That is certainly the feeling that democrats have looking at this district that was not even remotely in play for almost 40 years for democrats and they have come within 1,000 votes at this point, maybe fewer or more
at the end of the counting. There is a lot to be said for that. Republicans are feeling their they are kind of licking their wounds. Even though they may keep this in the column for now they understand that they need to wake up and they are not sure how that is going to go. We just got updated numbers on the ohio 12th congressional district. The republican Candidate Balderson is ahead by 1,564 votes. There are still 8,000 provisional ballots. You know the Democrat Danny Oconnor has not conceded the race, waiting for the votes to be counted. Its a lead that balderson has. Even if balderson does emerge victorious i think the most republicans can do is sort of wipe their brow that at least they kept the democrats at the
magic number of 23 that they need 23 net gain seats in november. Every republican i spoke to echoed what dana was saying which is that this is real concern. There are according to political reports 68 seats held by republicans that are less republican than this one, that are more favorable towards the democrats than this one. Each shows you just how big the battlefield is this year. And that is not a good sign when you are the party in power in that first mid term year. Lets not forget they have to do a do over in november in this congressional district. They will have the full election in november. Both of these candidates will run again. It wont be this emphasis on this race because there will be so many other races all across the country so it is difficult to scale that kind of tension and funding that the Republican Party announced like 6 million to save the seat. Everybody poured in there, donald trump, pence, everybody trying to save the seat. I think all the trend lines point to democrats having quite an edge ongoing into november. Its democrats and democrats can sometimes snatch victory from the jaws. Well see how that happens. All the trend lines when you look at suburban women, if you look at suburban white women and these white voters in this district that typically voted for republicans now giving democrats a real look. How do you see all this in. Well, i agree with that. This district has a higher number than the average of College Educated voters. The suburban turf did not go as well for balderson as it has in the past for republican candidates. He under performed donald trump in those areas. That is going to be a major Battle Ground as you look at the
races around the country, these suburban areas where College Educated voters and particularly women are going to play a big outsized role in these mid terms. You know, i think it is going to be a battle. Democrats can sometimes fumble the ball away. Not you. Not me, no. But thats especially now that im retired from campaigns. I do think that republicans are very nervous today and have a reason to be. Chris collins won by 30 points last and wasnt considered a contest. All of a sudden now it could be a contest if he decides to stay in the race. We dont know what he is about
to announce. He just tweeted he will seek reelection. He will seek reelection. It is impossible nearly to get somebody off the ballot in new york at this point unless they resign or die. So the fact that he is sticking to it clearly a credential of having this lawsuit against him and this not guilty plea that he is doing to battle this out in the courts during this campaign is not an easy way to run for reelection. You are right to note these districts if you are a republican congressman in a district that you think is so heavily republican and you never faced stiff competition, those rules are off. Even republicans have said that. There are some 55 democratic challengers that outraced republican incumbents and the republicans said you need to start raising money and fortifying yourself. This is a Potential Wave coming. Let me read the tweet. This is representative Chris Collins of new york. He posted this. I am proud to report the people of new york 27. The charges being brought against me are meritless. I will continue to work hard for the people of new york 27 and earn your vote this november. That statement presumably we will hear when he makes a statement. Very quickly, david. I would say if i were looking at this case and i were collins i would say dont resign now because you may want to resign some kind of deal down the line. Everybody, thank you very, very much. That was an excellent conversation. Finally it was on this date back in 2005 that i first said this im wolf blitzer and you are in the Situation Room where news and information from Around The World arrive at one place. That was 13 years ago. Im still saying it and we are still going strong. I want to thank my current and former Sit Room Team and viewers
