Hello, everyone, im alex witt here at msnbc headquarters here in new york. Those veep stakes are in full swing today with three of Hillary Clintons rumored picks cropping up on sunday talk shows and defending their presumptive nominee against accusations shes untrustworthy. I think the secretary has made it clear she understands she has to earn peoples trust. Shes going to work hard to do that and i give her credit for saying shes made mistakes. What i have seen working with secretary clinton is that she is a steady hand. Judgment is what its all about and i think she has exercised sound judgment throughout. I trust Hillary Clinton in part because for a whole lot of reasons, in part because i know how she started her career advocating for the childrens defense fund. She didnt go off to manhattan or washington to make a lot of money. Clinton herself said she wasnt bothered by the allegations. In an exclusive interview with my colleague chuck todd just after she met with fbi investigators on saturday. When youve been in the eye of the tornado for as long as i have, i know theres a lot of incoming fire. I accept that, but im going to keep standing up and talking about what i have done and what i will do. Donald trump, meanwhile, says hes vetting at least three potential running mates, those being new Jersey Governor Chris Christie, indiana governor mike pence and former speaker of the house Newt Gingrich. As for the current Vice President , joe biden will be campaigning for the first time with clinton this week making a stop i scranton, pennsylvania on friday. Before that on tuesday the president will join clinton for a rally in charlotte, north carolina. Nbcs kasie hunt and katy tur are covering the campaign. Well start with kasie and the Clinton Campaign so good day to you. Knew this interview is done, what do you think the thinking is inside the campaign . Hi, alex, the Clinton Campaign very eager to close this chapter of the Campaign Season so far. They want to be able to move beyond whats gone on with her emails. Theyve had trouble doing so because the timing of this investigation has dragged on longer than they anticipated and you could hear in the interview, you played part of it, that Hillary Clinton did yesterday with chuck todd, they talked a little bit more about it. Take a look. Let me start by this, the New York Times called the meeting that you had this morning civil and business like. How would you describe your interview with the fbi today . Well, it was both, it was something i had offered to do since last august. Ive been eager to do it and i was pleased to have the opportunity to assist the department in bringing its review to a conclusion. So you can see there that she expects that this is part of the end of this review. I think the hope, of course, would be for the Clinton Campaign she is cleared of any potential for wrong doing here in what has happened with these emails and theyre pushing ahead this week on the campaign trail, obviously that big event with president obama and then capping the week with an appearance with Vice President joe biden, all really aimed at trying to turn the page and underscore the difference she is has with donald trump, alex. You say theres a hope there will be no charges. Can you even go further and say theres a confidence there will be no charges within the clinton camp . I think the general feeling is that they would be very surprised if the outcome was different than that but everyone has to hold, be a little bit cautious here. Of course there was some additional concern raised in the meeting bill clinton had with Loretta Lynch, the attorne general, just as all of this was about to unfold and of course both bill clinton and Loretta Lynch say they would have rethought that decision in hindsight, of course hindsight is 2020. Hillary clinton herself has also said that they believe that they would do something differently but its race a ees raised a l questions with conservatives alex. Sure has. Kasie hunt, thank you for that. Donald trump pounced on Hillary Clintons three hours long interview saying this in a tweet. Its impossible for the fbi not to recommend criminal charges against Hillary Clinton. What she did was wrong. What bill did was stupid. Referring to bill clintons meeting u. S. Attorney general Loretta Lynch. Katy tur is following donald trump. Give me a sense whats inside the Trump Campaign right now. Do you think this development helps or hurts building up an argument against clinton . They believe it helps. They said Hillary Clinton did not have pa good day yesterday and they were pleased to know she went over to speak with the fbi because it feeds into their narrative that she has nothing to hide. Theyre trying to paint a picture of Hillary Clinton as someone whos in it for herself rather than the american public. That theres a different set of rules if for clintons or politicians in general than the regular rules everyday folks have to abide by. And thats the change narrative that donald trump is trying to woo voters with saying that hes going to go in and do things differently. Hes going to be a different kind of politician, the antipolitician. The one who will stand up for voters instead of standing up for washington. So what about the veep process . Do we know if donald trump himself has contacted anyone . We know that donald trump was meeting with governor indiana governor mike pence this weekend. We also know that he has Constant Contact with new Jersey Governor Chris Christie and we do know from sources inside the campaign and close to the candidate that he has a pretty regular contact with speaker of the house Newt Gingrich. We are told those three are being vetted officially for the veep slot. Newt gingrich, though, is demurring saying its swield speculation he would be involved in this, listen to how he put it to our nbc News Reporter just yesterday. I havent had conversations about this. My working assumption is and, again, cl again, calista and i have to talk about in the detail because it messes up your life. At least trump has said over and over he needs a Vice President who understands washington because he knows he doesnt. Of course that was at the aspen ideas festival. He followed up late we are our nbc News Reporter to say that it is not something he has been officially contacted for but thats not what were hearing from our sources. Newt gingrich, Chris Christie, governor mike pence w geld trum, something he says he needs which is a legislative experience. Probably none more so than gingrich who has deep ties to washington. He knows how things work. Hes a great political persuader. He has had a lot of experience there but when it comes to gingrichs baggage there is a lot there. Theres political fatigue with him in the 90s after his stint as speaker of the house. In 2012 when he dropped out of the president ial race he was the most disliked politician in america, between the two of them there are six marriages, also Newt Gingrich is somebody who has his own opinions, somebody who is very smart in the ways of washington. There is some talk from sourc close to the candidate and sources close to the campaign that say donald trump wouldnt necessarily want somebody who could outshine him in that way. That he would rather have somebody that is a symbolic figure head, a Vice President more akin to dan quayle than joe biden. I think it was funny that he said it would mess up his life. Lets go to los angeles where im joined by Los Angeles Angels of anaheim political reporter seema metaand jai newton small. Seema, lets talk about Hillary Clinton now that shes gone through the interview process with the fbi. Do you gauge it as relief or concern . I think fact that everyone believes the interview is sort of an indication that something coming to an end. I have to imagine that theres relief this is finally over. They lucked out this happened over a fourth of july weekend. Most americans are going to barbecues and parades and not watching the news so they std it a bit last weir when president clinton met with attorney general lynch in phoenix but it seems like this is pointing to like this might be coming to some sort of resolution. Jai, your take on the same concern or relief . I think both concern and relief. You knew she had to do it. She had to speak to investigators, you couldnt go through a whole investigation about her email and not speak to the principal person but it does say this is you dont actually talk to the principal generally speaking until the end of an investigation and generally speaking you dont actually do it unless you have an idea of where youre already going. So the sense is that ive heard on capitol hill and amongst other sources is that this is winding up the information, they dont know if there will be charges yet or not and if there will be it would most likely be staffers not hillary herself. But this looks to be the beginning of the end of this investigation which has lasted more than a year, its been a long time. But if you say even staffers, that could by association taint her. Absolutely and any kind of indictment here would be damaging to hillary, absolutely. To say that anybody in her staff, anybody still working for her in her sphere was doing something wrong mishandling classified information, that would be a blow to the campaign so there has to be some conce and relief that its over but some concern at this pivotal time as she looks to cement the nomination and move on to the general election to have to be worrying about that. Its certainly a concern. Okay. Seema, you heard katy saying that these latest developments play in the republican narrative that the clintons are somehow above the rules. With this election four months away now, how much lingering effect could this have over these next months. We see in the the polls constantly. Theres a large number of americans who dont believe Hillary Clinton is trustworthy. They dont believe shes necessarily honest. So the longer these questions about her emails and handling of the emails, as long as its cast a shadow it seems like it will continue through november. Its the main argument donald trump is racing against her when he calls her crooked hillary. Hes trying to reinforce the idea that she and her husband are above the rules so it feeds into the republican narrative about the clintons. It was quite a week, too, jay. These two incidents so close together. Bill clinton and Loretta Lynch meeting on the tarmac in phoenix. The fbi interviewing Hillary Clinton yesterday. As polls are taken so frequently, do you think this could have an impact on the numbers . It could. Once we get a decision thats certainly an impact on the numbers. As seema was saying undercut or bolster the main criticism of donald trump or Hillary Clinton. But any week youre talking about this, any week the campaign has to spend time defending this is not a good week for the Hillary Campaign and this is something they wish was in their rearview mirror. Hope it will soon be but it remains one of the biggest hong kongs and hurdles for her campaign. I want to ask you the question about the republican veep stakes as there are development this is week. The trump camp officially vetting Newt Gingrich, Chris Christie. We know he met with indiana governor mike pence, at least thats nbc news reporting for this weekend. What do you make, seema, of this group . Do you think any of these three help trump with women or just the opposite . I dont necessarily see them helping him with women. I think mike pence could help him with social conservatives who have remained wary of Donald Trumps campaign. Im intrigued by the idea of either Newt Gingrich or Chris Christie being the Vice President because as Vice President you have to do what the president wants you do, you cant be your own man and Newt Gingrich and Chris Christie are not known for sitting quietly and submitting to other people. So i think that would be interesting but its clear trump is looking for somebody who has experience in d. C. Who knows how the system works whos been in government to get something done because thats something hes lacking. But with regard to women, jay, what does trump need in a pick . Katie pointed out that between, say Newt Gingrich and donald trump theres six marriages between them, that might be a real turnoff for a lot of women in this country. Absolutely, we heard oklahoma governor mary fallon might be on the list, shes expressed interest in playing the role and she could help him potentially with women but honestly Vice President s tend not to play that role. You cant find a Vice President thats going to fix your short comings in the sense that if that were the case you would have to find somebody for donald trump who is a half black half latino woman veteran millennial thats such a unicorn doesnt exist and nor should that person fix nor should that person address his shortfalls. At best the Vice President ial candidate is a complementary person who can defend you on the campaign trail for your weaknesses but it wont be a magic pill that changes is a game changer of a campaign kind of thing. So for better or worse whomever he picks its not somebody who will potentially help him that much, he has to do that work himself with other group he is has problem with. Jay newton small, seema mehta, thank you for joining us. Thank you. Hear from one woman hoping to raise 30 million for the donald Trump Campaign. Heightened security from the airports to the nations biggest cities. This follows terror attacks both abroad and at home. But americans appear to be taking the extra measures of protection in stride. I had a pleating thought in my mind like should we go into the city today but obviously we still came so its not going to stop us. I just live my life day to day and try not to dwell on it. Meanwhile, a new Quinnipiac University poll shows 62 of americans believe antiterror policies have not gone far enough. 26 think they have gone too far, restricting civil liberties. Happening now, terror attacks in iraq taking a terribly heavy toll. A truckloaded with explosives was detonated in downtown baghdad today. More than 160 people were killed, many victims were children. This was the deadliest attack in the iraqi capital. Lucy kavanof is joining us. Whats really disturbing, this was among the more deadly attacks but not perhaps the most deadly in a year. Absolutely, alex. So many families torn apart by these horrific developments out of iraq. Two separate bombings, isis claiming responsibility for the biggest one. It took place in the karrada airport of baghdad, an area of shops restaurants and hotels. Police say a suicide bomber detonated a refrigerator truck full of explosives outside a busy shopping center. This is a powerful blast, multiple buildings blown out. The attack was timed to have the deadliest impact. This attack just after midnight which meant families were out and about, breaking their ramadan fast, the holy muslim holiday and celebrating the end of the school year. It would have been busy at this hour, mothers, fathers, Young Children out. The explosion was so strong, in fact, that iraqi firefighters were still trying to extinguish those flame this is morning. Rescue workers were pulling bodies from buildings, families were desperately trying to find their loved ones in hospitals and morgues. This is the deadliest attack in iraq this year and i want to emphasize that because its significant. These arent soldiers dying on the battlefield. These are families enjoying their weekend much like americans might be on the fourth of july holiday. There was, of course, growing anger in iraq over these attacks. Prime minister hiaider alabadi visited the attacks to find his truck surrounded by an angry crowd. They called him a thief and threw rocks and shoes at him. The lack of security being one of the biggest issues in iraq. As u. S. Backed Iraqi Forces Push deeper into isiser the roar that group is likely to keep lashing out with these gruesome attacks. The tragic reality is that innocent people are the ones who keep paying the price. Well discuss that further right now with my thanks to you. Lets bring in marc ginsberg. Marc, we have orlando, istanbul, bangladesh, baghdad. How did we get here . We got here by not keeping an eye on the ball on the expansion of isis not just in iraq and syria, alex but also in libya, also throughout north africa and through the cells that were being developed as a result of the inadequate border surveillance that turkey itself permitted. Turkey has played a major role in facilitat
