News coverage is provided. Pretty much even is a big deal and its actually a very interesting district, you have welloff Suburbs Of Columbus and you have places where i spent some time and its a former Industrial Power house thats on hard times right now, the average income there is about half of what it is in the rest of america, so, you know, its reliably republican district with a lot of people that have different concerns and, yeah, the republicans are very worried right now and his Approval Rating in this district is 46 approved, 49 disapprove and, of course, as you know, midterms are often a referendum on the president and so its a very tight race and i think republicans are very nervous because this is the last special election before the midterms and so everybody in the country is watching this race to figure out prediction of what will happen come november. Is it risky for the president to go in there, what if the republican loses, will people be eager in washington to blame the
president for it . Well, people are always eager to blame anyone but themselves, mike. Maybe President Trump has something to do with it, but you also have to look at how enthusiastic the republicans in this district are and fundraising, Danny Oconnor is way outracing Troy Balderson, the democrats way more enthusiastic and look at early voting, this is one of the reasons republicans have to be nervous, in the previous elections, republicans cast the majority of early votes, right now its looking like people registered as democrats have cast the majority of early votes, so, you know, the momentum is not with the republicans you know e trump has to do what he can and hes going to go there and, of course, everyone will be watching, the question is will he make an argument for Troy Balderson or will he talk about other things and i have to say, you know, Danny Oconnor campaign asking quite clever, donald trump mentioned the tax cuts and in his two tweets, well, danny
oconnor has interesting argument to make, hes a moderate democrat, this is a a bit of moderate seat, hes not focusing on hey, the president is giving you some of your money back, no, no, this adds to debt and its going to drive up taxes for your kids, for your grandkids, this is not an argument democrats tend to politic, its an argument you normally hear from conservative republican, so its a very interesting race all around i have to say. The winner wont have much time to celebrate, theyll face off again in november, right . And its interesting you have the same two candidates facing off in november because the primary is early this year, they counted for both and so we are going to see a bit of a repeat of it and its interesting to see what republicans think is going to work and what democrats think is going to work, republicans theyre not really able not focusing on the economy and i cant figure out why, as you know the numbers have been incredible, instead
they are trying to paint danny as pelosi puppet, he said he will not vote for nancy pelosi as speaker. Chris matthews on hardball asked him in 7 times and if push came to shove he would vote for pelosi, its a pretty weak argument. Why do on the defense, Go On Offense and talk about the economy, talk about the jobs numbers and i dont know why republicans arent doing that. Mike listening very carefully to the president s message carefully in battleground ohio, tharchcion for your thanks for your time. Thanks mike. Mike we will be in ohio for the president s Rally Schedule Today Begin At 6 30 p. M. Eastern time then we will bring you live reaction right after with a brandnew episode of waters world at 8 00. Well, the Paul ManafortBank Fraud Trial wrapped up first week yesterday, along going on with testimony from one of the accountants who said she falsified Tax Documents for the former Trump Campaign chair and
as the Specials Counsel Russia Investigation widens, the president is doubling down on his rhetoric. Gillian turner has more on this. Latest development in tax and Bank Fraud Trial played out yesterday in courtroom in arlington, virginia outside of the nations capital, she filed tax returns she believed may have contained false information. She also acknowledged that doing so probably amounted to criminal activity. Admitted she had a sense that manafort lie today her about where money being transferred into his Political Consulting business was coming from. This is the first time a witness in the trial this week admitted to potential wrongdoing, the mueller team now trying to prove manafort improperly listed millions of dollars of income as loans in order to avoid paying income tax and that it was kept hidden from the irs in a legal overseas account. Meanwhile President Trump creating some russia Investigation News of his own this week when he escalated his attacks on what he calls the
the investigation concludes. Laura. Thank you so much. For more on this we want to talk about attorney, director of National Security law of Policy Program at George Mason University and former Chief Counsel and Senior Adviser for the Senate Foreign relations, great to have you here on this very important topic. Thanks, laura. Laura a lot of legal observers have noticed how quickly and prosecutors calling more than a dozen witnesses to the stand since it began tuesday and i was reading over the weekend that the courthouse pushes out Rocket Dockets because of how quickly they move through cases, is that whats happening here s this case unique . Well, look, judge elliot is putting pressure on the prosecution to move the case along, they made it clear they shouldnt focus on the trappings of mr. Manaforts lavish lifestyle but the charges at stake which are the bank fraud
charges. We havent seen the defense case. They will focus on rick gates and his role thats cooperating with the prosecution. We will see what they have to say about rick gates when they get a chance to make up their case. Laura some of the allegations predate the president ial election, President Trump voicing frustration on twitter just this week calling manaforts prosecution a hoax going as far that hes being treated worst than al cra spoken, still underlying that there was possible access and opportunity for influence from the Prorussia Ukrainian officials that manafort was in contact with while working as lobbyist and political consultant and want to reset that point. How do you think prosecutors will do with that part. We are talking about tax charges, what about that part . Look, the tide to the russia probe is tangent and focus on bank and fraud charges, that being said, the Prorussia Party as you mentioned, the sources income, why was he hiding it. All that being said, the
president is really the one himself who is drawing the tide to this and unfortunately bringing this into the russia orbit, i think the president s focusing on his own agenda instead of getting involved in mueller investigation. The president is going to be out there tonight, we will see what he does. I predict against his own sort of against own benefit he will talk more about the trial and more about the investigation. Laura i bet youre right. Lets talk art richard gates for a minute who call prosecutions star witness, manaforts longtime Business Society and former Trump Campaign adviser as well. What can he what will the impact of testimony bring to all of this, a lot of people wait to go hear what he has to say . He was right in the middle of the whole thing, he was involved in Bank Accounts and all the money coming from ukraine. That being said, you know, the defense is going to say, look, he was involved, it was his fault, hes the one and how cooperating to get a sweetheart
deal. We will see how that one against the other thing plays out. But i expect rick gates to be credible witness and the defense will undermine him. Laura i want to thank you so much for your time and expertise on this, we will keep you in mind because this is going to keep going, thank you. Thanks, laura.

Court is not holding that dhs cannot terminate the program, its holding that you didnt give us a sufficient reason. The administration claims then president obama did not have the Constitutional Authority to start the daca program, that claim is not enough, that claiming a prior policy is illegal with the, quote, hodgepodge of i logical Policy Assertions simply will not do and if the department of Homeland Security wands to rescind the program it must give a rational explanation for its decision. Dhs provided memo explaining their decision but that the memo, quote, failed to elaborate meaningful on the agencys primary rationale for its decision, the judgment that the policy was unlawful and unconstitutional, goes onto say that while the memo offers several additional Policy Grounds for daca, most of the simply repackaged legal arguments previously made and hints are insufficiently independent from the agencys
evaluation of daca legality to preclude judicial review and support the decision, the administration has 20 days to appeal the ruling
