Great negotiator. It is at the white house does not want to own this bill but he is somewhat caught in the middle. Some lower income trump voters may lose their health care. Others may want to get out from underneath the obamacare on business. Is this the president s bill that he will fight for . Speaker ryan saying just hours ago the president s all in. Take a look at these. A brandnew box poll shows were peeling under placing obamacare finishes a distant fifth on the list of what americans want to do. See it down there . 7 . Create jobs, 33 . What will the president think when he looks at those numbers . He will also talk about School Choice, something that may be of great interest to you and your family. While debates on these issues that no doubt will actually impact your life, this was the breathless reporting heard last night for those who bought into msnbc host Rachel Maddows socalled a scoop. A little bit of a hullabaloo around here this evening. I apologize for being flustered. We have some significant breaking news tonight. Donald trumps tax returns have surfaced. At least a portion of Donald Trumps past tax returns. Has he received money from foreign sources . Has he received loans from foreign sources . What is his relationship with Deutsche Bank . What is his relationship with foreign sources of income . What kind of income has trump towers is temple provided to President Trump . Through his business . Is he not as rich as he says he is . Is he not as charitable as he says he is . Martha so many questions. So many dots to connect. It was not until the big reveal that the hype quickly deflated. What i have here is a copy of Donald Trumps tax returns. We have its federal tax returns for one year, for 2005, these pages are straightforward. Paid 38 million in taxes. If you add up the lines for income, he made more than 150 million in that year. Martha model top, she says. In moments, reaction. First, ed henry joins us on the fallout. Rachel maddow teasing her audience for over 20 minutes before finally getting to this group that led a series of liberal pundits to declare it was really a nothing burger. It started less than 90 minutes before her show when she started typing on twitter we have tax returns, 9 00 p. M. Eastern. The first sign of turbulence came just 36 minutes before that broadcast. Maddow clarified, what we have got is from 2005. The president s 1040 form. Details to come tonight. Just two pages from one tax return, singular, not not the plural tax returns she had teased, which may be why when maddow dragged it out, social media was aflame with comparisons to Geraldo Riveras al capone vault. The ridicule most distinctly summed up by the White House Correspondent at the daily caller, who tweeted, i filed my tax returns while waiting. The most comical one was from brian fallon, before the show, he retreated to maddow assist group, with the gushing declaration, the holy grail. Then, he pivoted. They should return focus to health care not get distracted by two pages from 05 tax returns. Nothing to see here. The president paid 23. 3 , far more than the 18. 7 obama paid in 2015 and a 13. 5 bernie sanders. In 2014. And senator sanders is such a good socialist, i think he would want to pay his fair share. I am expecting news any day that he will spend a couple hundred thousand into the irs we can pay his fair share. We should know to whom ever leaked the tax returns committed a felony. While there is also a law prohibiting the distribution of such material, legal experts say that as long as Rachel Maddow did not steal the returns, it is unlikely she would face charges. Tonight, maddow is saying the only thing she was focused on is getting the story right and she is really psyched she broke the story in the first place. Martha. Martha thank you. Joining me now with more, brit hume. Good evening to you. Ed ladled out beautifully. What he think about all of this . It is a journalistic fiasco. Perhaps, a promotional coup, we are still talking about this. Almost 24 hours later when, as a substantive matter, i didnt amount to very much. Whatever extent it meant to anything, donald trump makes a lot of money and pays a lot of taxes, which is certainly not what a lot of people who were suspicious of him have been suggesting about them, which is that either he wasnt that rage or maybe he didnt pay any taxe taxes. Neither turns out based on the sliver of evidence to be the case. Martha in some ways, it was suggested during the report last night, it may donald trump looked pretty good. The reporter who broke the story, who somehow, these returns landed in his mailbox, i would love to know what you think about that theory, brit, suggested that this came from a trump camp, maybe they were glad to have them come out, may be a welcome distraction and buys them some breathing time while they are working on obamacare. But you make those theories . Speak of those theories are too clever by half. Martha somebody put them in his mailbox. This happens, martha. When i was a reporter back in the day, one of the most explosive documents i ever seen came into the office through the mail. We never knew where it came from. It took a little work to verify that it was a legitimate document, which we succeeded in doing. That was at the famous itt scandal which, based on this memo that suggested all kinds of hankypanky, it arrived in the mail. We didnt go around telling people that at the time. [laughs] thats how we got it. This kind of thing does happen. If you are the kind of person that is into the leaking business, david johnston, might be the very person you would like it too. I find that possible. His comment that it is possible trump leaked it, the truth is, he doesnt know where it came from. Martha in terms of the broader potential scandal that was suggested in the conversation, really based on nothing, what we are not seeing here is the source of this income, the Turkish Hotel, all of these other ties that they talked about and breathless tones. They have nothing in terms of these documents to back up. They only have two pages of the tax return. Obviously, if there is any Turkish Hotel income, it isnt reflected here. That is out conjecture. Out and out speculation. Out and out guesswork. That is perfectly permissible on an opinion show. But at the same time, she is claiming a great scoop, talking about how proud she is having broken the story. She broke the story and one might argue that while she broke the story, she broke a lot of wind at the time. [laughter] martha all right. In terms of the other stuff that is going on that we talked about at the top of the show, we are about to hear from President Trump about 30 minutes from now we expect. He is under a bit of pressure on this health care deal. Hes got shes being tucked in both directions. How do you think this will go, brit . We are nearer the beginning than the end of this process. My thought would be that we have a long way to go. The bill, if they can get this bill as it now is shaping up through the house, which is not at all clear they can come up they have some chance, it is not going to fly in the senate. The senate has to make adjustments. Even if that happens, they will have to work out a compromise between the house and Senate Versions and then, send both, send that version, the final, compromised version, back to both houses. I have seen in the past, back in the days when legislators were still legislating, back at me 70s and 80s, i saw this happen many, many times. I remember watching bills being amended on the house floor to where you thought that the members have got it where they wanted it, then, it goes down. They have to go back to the drawing board. We have a long way to go here. This is not a pretty process, legislating never is. Youve heard the old cliche about you dont want to watch people make bills or sausage, the same reasons. They have a long way to go. This will be tough. There are budgetary reasons and policy reasons why they need to get this thing out of the way, despite the fact of the public doesnt consider it a priority because they a lot of other things hinge on it. The ability to do tax reform, the rest of it. There are reasons for this. Its tough. Martha brit, thank you. Great to see you. President trump is responding to that msnbc report, telling Tucker Carlson exclusively that publishing his tax returns violates the law. President trump i have no idea where they got it. Its illegal. You are not supposed to have it. It is not supposed to be leaked. It is certainly not an embarrassing tax return at all. But its an illegal thing, they have been doing it, they have done it before. I think it is a disgrace. Martha jonathan turley, professor at the George WashingtonUniversity School of law. Good to see you tonight. Is he right about that . He is right. It is illegal. A reporter can be charged with a crime of publishing a tax return. There is no exemption under the law. What they have is a First Amendment defense. That defense has been successful in the past. They famous pentagon papers dealt with an alleged crime of the media having that information. Courts tend to try to err on the side of a free press. I think that is the correct thing to do. It is unlikely that msnbc would be charged with a crime unless they facilitated to the of the return or the steps of the return. Martha in terms of what is on the return, what strikes me, there has never been a suggestion that President Trump cheated, didnt pay anything, there has never even been that hint of suggestion. There is all this judgment in their tone about the amount of money that he made, where it might have come from, is that enough, compared to how much he said he made. The bottom line with the irs, you dont cross that line. Either it is legal or illegal. It appears that that is not part of the conversation. I am not sure what they are up in arms about. I was watching, like many people, it was a rather curious leak. You are left with this moment of knowledge bearing trump but praising him, in terms of payin. I dont think that is what the leaker wanted. It certainly wasnt what the buildup suggested. There is nothing in the tax return that is particularly noteworthy. He paid a higher tax rate than some people might have guessed. He took what were accepted deductions at that time. He is allowed, obviously, to do that. There is nothing there that would support some of these allegations. That is what makes this whole thing rather curious of why someone would release the tax form that seems to support trump. Three when we look at the comparisons of what president obama paid, for example, you have to wonder, if President Trump looks at that and said, if i had a different tax attorney, i am doing something wrong. One last question, this hawaii judge, the numbers of people can see at home this hawaii judge, we are waiting for the second version of the extreme vetting legislation bill about the president wants to uphold, executive order, rather. The feeling is that this hawaii judge has now put in place something that will be nationwide in terms of banning this thing on the second round. What do you make of it . What is it look like to you . The judge can oppose a national ban. No question about that. It is similar to what occurred in washington state. The word is that it seems to be based on the establishment clause dealing with religion, which i frankly just dont see how that could be sustained. Its not that its not a good faith position or there is not good faith arguments. I just dont see the case law supporting that in the long run. Well have to see. Ultimately, that could go to a court with a brandnew justice on it named neil gorsuch. Martha could be. His process gets underway on monday. Jonathan turley, thank you so much. Good to see you tonight. Tonight at 9 00, dont mess Tucker Carlsons interview with President Trump, the exclusive oneonone covers everything from health care to wiretapping allegations, much, much more. We look forward to seeing it for a 9 00 tonight. The president sits down with Tucker Carlson. We are Just Moments Away from President Trump such as hit domain take the stage in tennessee. Quite possibly the most important speech for the president since his joint address to congress. Well take you there when he arrives and bring you that live.

Martha breaking tonight, as we wait for the president in nashville, tennessee, confusion and uncertainty continues to swirl around a number of potential fbi probes into russia and the Trump Campaign. Fbi director james comey was on capitol hill today, he met with lawmakers on those issues. One senator said that the answers are not coming quickly enough for him. Republican Lindsey Graham announced that if he doesnt get information from the fbi about mr. Trumps wiretapping claims and a soon, he will subpoena to get it. Senator graham joins us in moments. First, the chief intelligence correspondent, catherine herridge, takes us through the latest on these efforts to get to the bottom of this whole thing. Like today, fox news confirmed at least two senior cemeteries, Dianne Feinstein and republican chuck grassley, whose committee has direct oversight for the fbi met with director comey in a closed meeting. Afterward, offered nothing to reporters. This was all on sensitive matters. Highly classified. It is really not anything that we can answer any questions about. This comes as the House Intelligence Committee leadership says they have seen nothing that backs up the president s allegations. To date, i have seen no evidence that supports the claim that President Trump made that his predecessor had wiretapped he and his associates at trump tower. That evidence still remains the same, we dont have any evidence that that took place. Speak about tonight, the president suggested he would be vindicated in an interview with foxs Tucker Carlson. Wiretapped covers a lot of different things. I think you will find some very interesting items coming to the forefront over the next two weeks. The coincidental collection comes when a foreign target, like the russian ambassador, is tracked and in the process, the phone calls and Text Messages of an american citizen are picked up by that is how former National Security advisor mike flynns communications were captured and republican chairman wants to know if there are other americans. What i remain concerned about is whether or not there is additional incidental collection that we are not aware of. Then, if any of that information was put into any types of intelligence reports. Then, whether or not additional names were unmasked. Democrats want more information about roger stone, a political advisor associated with the Trump Campaign, who confirmed, then, downplayed contact with julian assange, the head of wikileaks, as well as the hacking entity that stole damaging emails from the dnc, martha. Martha thank you very much. Joining me now, the senator demanding answers from the fbi director comey. Republican Lindsey Graham. Senator, welcome. Doesnt that give you a headache . Martha theres a lot going on there. I want to start with the interesting comment by President Trump in the interview that arcs Tucker Carlson dead, he said, you will see interestig information coming over the next couple of weeks and all of that. Any idea what hes talking about . Absolutely not. Heres what i think we owe the country. Was there a warrant issued by a judge anywhere in america allowing the Obama Administration or anyone else to do surveillance on the Trump Campaign . I have seen no evidence that a warrant was issued against the Trump Campaign. The director of National Intelligence clapper said two weeks ago, he saw no evidence of collusion between the Trump Campaign and the russians. I dont want to hear it from a politician. I want the fbi director to answer very straightforward questions. Did you seek a warrant . Did you get a warrant . Martha it may be that there was no warrant and that the case exists, as devin nunes suggested, that these intercepts that pick up foreign entities, who we have the right to survey all their phone conversations, and that is what is actually the meat of the matter. Do you think that this i
