That expression. We have a lot of great people over there. Meanwhile at the capitol, attorney general barr appears on capitol hill for day two of testimony after revealing a redacted version of the Mueller Report will be released within a week with no plans to give congress the full version. And right at this moment ceos from the largest u. S. Banks will face lawmakers for the first time in a decade on what they had learned since the government bailed out their industry and can the highest earners in banking solve the economic disparity in america . Is it even their job . And connection lost,ing Youtu Youtube forced to disable comments on a hearing over hate speech on the internet. The reason, white nationalists and antisemitic comments were littering the feed. First, i have to by you new reporting we just got in from the wall street journal, it turns out prosecutors from the Southern District of new york have more evidence in the criminal hush money investigation than we previously realized. Theyve talked to even more people than we knew about. Lets go live to nbc news intelligence reporter ken dilanian. Ken, what is this all about . Stephanie, what seems to be new in this the wall street journal report is they nominate the hope hicks, former white house director and keith schiller, President Trumps bodyguard, in the ongoing probe of hush money payments to women, which is entirely separate from the mueller investigation. Involves cooperation by Michael Cohen, President Trumps longtime former lawyer who pleaded guilty and has been sentenced to prison. So i think what this underscores is why are we all focusing on the Mueller Report, what does the Mueller Report say, theres another significant investigation in new york thats still examining the whole question of these payments to women during the campaign, Michael Cohen already implicated the president in a crime in this case, basically saying the president , thencandidate donald trump then ordered Michael Cohen to essentially violate Campaign Finance law. Thats not deemed to have been by Congress Something that seems to ride to the level of an impeachable offense. But its deeply significant and this underscores this investigation remains very active and has talked to some significant players. But the people who are questioned, theyre not being questioned in terms of their wrongdoing, the new people . You know, thats never entirely clear but i think we can infer that, no, they were not directly involved in the payments. They seem to be witnesses. Its people ntin the Trump Organization that were involve in these payments and Parent Company of the nationnational enquirer and Michael Cohen and these were disguised as legal fees to Michael Cohen so theres an issue if they were fraudulently conveyed. There seems to be a lot of criminal liability here and the question is what charges, if any, will we see Going Forward . Thank you, ken. Now we have to turn to another split screen in trumps presidency. Pay attention to this. The president is departing the white house at any moment now for san antonio, texas. Hes looking to turn the page on the dhs story by signing two new executive orders and infrastructure in the epa in an attempt to speed up oil and gas projects. Meanwhile in less than one hour attorney general bill barr is heading back to capitol hil for the second time to testify this week. Today if will be in front of members of the Senate Appropriations committee grilling him. This comes, of course, after barr testified for 2 1 2 hours before members of the house Appropriations Committee. In his testimony he said the Mueller Report would be released in a week but redactions. Get yourself ready, it will be major redapgs. Adding congress will not get an unredacted version so theyre going to get what he gives them. Lets head to Peter Alexander at the white house and Geoff Bennett on capitol hill. Peter, lets start with you. The president is set to leave any moment. Hes denying cleaning house, but obviously he is. Hes declared the situation at the border a National Emergency over 50 days ago and the department that is focused on all of this, at least at the top, is now a complete mess. Yes, stephanie, youre right. The president said hes not cleaning house and his allies, republicans on capitol hill, say theres now a vacuum of void in leadership, latest departure taking place yesterday. We learned about it overnight. Claire grady was the acting deputy secretary of the department of Homeland Security. According to kirstjen nielsen, outgoing Homeland Security secretary, grady said she would be resigning, she offered her resignation. I spoke to kellyanne conway, the president s counsellor moments ago, she said she was not forced out, that this was simply a resignation on her own terms. But it follows the departure of kirstjen nielsen, ouster of tex head of dallas and the resignation of another than who have have been the head of i. C. E. , Customs Enforcement in this country. So grady leaves dhs without a senateconfirmed deputy in place as its secretary but it does clear the way for kevin mclean, who is set to take over today. Tell me whats going on today. You can hear behind me the president will be taking off to texas. He will sign a pair of executive offered. We will put up graphics to help walk you through the details. Specifically they will help in the White House Companies avoid unnecessary red tapes. They will make it easier for firms to build oil and gas pipelines. Hard irfor agencies to intervene, directing the epa to review the clean water act, roll back Energy Regulations and promote fossil fuel development, specifically on that item as relates to the pipelines. In the past it was up to the secretary of state to make the final decisions about the international pipelines. But per this executive order t. Would put that power directly in the hands of the president. Lets remind the audience, were already the Worlds Largest oil producer. Its not like its strangled at this moment and needs to be released. What should we expect from barr today . At the end of the day whether i like it or hate it, it sounded like he was saying yesterday, you get what you get, dont get upset. Im the boss. Yes, based on some republicans who sit on this panel and its important to point out republicans control the senate so they control this committee, they will try to keep these questions focused on the matter at hand which has to do with the dojs budget for the coming year. Lindsey graham, for instance, who sits on this Appropriations Committee said hes not going to ask any questions to the attorney general about the russia report. Hes waiting to see what happens after the redacted report is released and waiting for barr to come set before his committee, the committee he chairs, on may 1. That said democrats have made clear they found the attorney generals performance yesterday before the House Appropriations subcommittee, they found it entirely unsatisfying. They want the full report. They want all of the underlying evidence. The attorney general as you mentioned made it clear he will turn over the redacted report he says within a week. He points out the four areas of redactions. But theres a point you might hear republicans make today and that has to doing with something the attorney general said yesterday. Hes forming a team to form a counterintelligence probe looking into collusion between the russians and trump campaign. Hes looking into the allegations republican lawmakers have been making for years now, there was antitrump bias at the top echelons of the fbi and Justice Department that tainted those investigations. You will also probably hear a lot of talk about that salacious dossier. Although we heard jim comey, former fbi director and other fbi officials state on the report the counterintelligence had nothing to do with the dossier, it was launched in fact after george popolopodus, remember him . The trump Foreign Policy aide after a night of heavy drinking bragged to an Australian Aid that he had dirt on Hillary Clinton. We have to see how this all unfolds and push and pull with the attorney general when this gets under way at 9 30. I do remember him. I hear shes shopping a reality show that i can only hope and pray does not get picked up. Thank you. I want to bring my panel in, the New York Times and msnbc political contributor and look whos here, my dear friend Meghan Murphy, former editor of Bloomberg Business week. Brett, to you first, bill barr, im guessing were not going to get anything different today. Take me away from what should he do. What do you think he is going to do . Im talking about the Mueller Report and all of these redactions . Hes going to release a redacted report within a week. That will provide us a grand total of nothing . Look, assuming the claims for the redactions are genuine and i dont have a reason to disbelieve barr, its going were going to pretty much get what we already know is contained in the report. I think theres one of those four categories is were not going to share information that could be reputationally damaging to anyone whos not being indieted here. That means trump and his kids. Hang on a second. First of all, we dont know exactly youre right. We do not know exactly who it means and there are legitimate reasons for doing that. People who get caught up, whose names get caught up in an investigation, Something Like this. We all know your name pops up on a google search, you were part of some investigation, it could harm you. Those are legitimate reasons. I have to say from a purely political standpoint, the more democrats and critics of the president , and that includes me at least as a critic of the president , go on about the Mueller Report and kind of the Conspiracy Theory hes hiding something, theres more information, that there will be another crack in the wall, this is only feeding into a plausible republican narrative that this is the witchhunt that donald trump always alleged. It is not helping the democratic cause to try to turn bill barr into a bugaboo. Its not going to work. Hes not matt whitlock. Meghan, the day the Mueller Report came out you were the one out there going move on, Americans Care about health care, jobs and education. I dont want to hear about the Mueller Report. Do you still feel that way . Well, lets not take it out of context. I was very specific about what i said, i said let us draw a line about two years talking about an overarching conspiracy between the campaign and russia to manipulate the outcome of the election, i think that i agree with you that that aspect of the Mueller Report, that what people have been talking about, has not borne out so far from what weve seen. I would like to be very clear in saying information about possible obstruction, what the president did or did not know and what family members knew or members of the administration knew in terms of obstructing that probe, impeding that probe, let us see what the report is. That will be tremendous information politically and obviously just as a learned people of the public to understand that. In terms of moving forward, lets not bait and switch. Hes going to texas today. Look what we put up on that graphic about what hes doing with these executive orders. Lets be clear about what the administration is doing today. Great news for the oil and gas industry in terms of jobs and constructing pipelines. But explicitly taking control away from the states to regulate the construction of oil and gas lines and putting that power in the hands directly of the president. You want to talk about mueller, you want to talk about conspiracy theories and witchhunts, lets look at what theyre actually doing, rolling back Energy Regulations, promoting fossil fuel development. So much of this country over the past ten years in terms of reducing our impact on climate, reducing our impact on environment, guess what, this is what is actually going on. So yes, look at the Mueller Report, but im more concerned what hes doing, complete chaos in dhs, complete chaos in his cabinet and rollback of the most critical sectors. Meghan right to the except you want to go after the president , you attack him on policy, not necessarily Conspiracy Theory. Guess what, that means theyre plenty to go after. But to meghan point, play attention to the executive orders. You really think the oil and gas Industry Needs a rollback . Thats what he will try to give them. Thank you very much. We have so much more to cover. We have to talk about this, Election Results in israel could not be closer but Prime Minister netanyahu, he might have an edge. Well go live to tel aviv to the latest results and have bibis relationship with President Trump. And jared kushner, remember, he used to stay in jareds childhood bed in his parents house in livingston, new jersey. How all of that may have played a role in the outcome. And im laser beam focused on this, thanks to you, seven facing off with congress ten years after the taxpayers bailed him out during the financial crisis, what has changed and what hasnt .
