And later, my conversation with senator Kiersten Gillibrand. But first we are following a wave of breaking news. Rudy giuliani tells the New York Times and nbc news Robert Mueller will seek to conclude his investigation into collusion with russia by September 1st. So far we have not heard anything from the Special Counsel ourselves. Robert costa from the Washington Post reports an important asterisk. That deadline might hold true if the president sits for an interview. At the same time, President Trump ordering the Justice Department to investigate an if in Fib Informant who was used in the early stages of the russia probe. The president tweeting, quote, i here by demand and will do so officially tomorrow that the department of justice look into whether or not the fbi doj infiltrated or surveilled the Trump Campaign for political purposes. As for the president using the power of his office to intervene in an ongoing Justice Department
investigation, maybe we shouldnt be too surprised.
He was facing an uphill battle. A lot of people, including the republicans do not believe he has the experience of Veterans Affair and though he does have credentials as a doctor, he does not have the credentials to run something that brig. Its still a very fluid situation. Right now the president says hes standing by dr. Ronnie johnson and hes going to leave whether he steps aside up to Ronny Jackson. I heard the line where you have trump saying we wish to work on this new deal with iran. Can you tell me what it is the president of the United States wants and what is it about this deal that macron that hed being to change . Reporter look, all we know is the line you just cited. Theres no more information coming from the president what
this deal might be. The french president went into much more detail. He said dont rip up the current deal until you have something else. So keep the deal this is the french president laying out his argumen arguments, he said keep the deal and we need ano
To homes than anyone else in the country, we never forget. That your business is our business the United States postal service. Priority you welcome to kasie d. C. Im kasie hunt. We are live every sunday from washington from 7 00 to 9 00 p. M. Eastern. Tonight, trump putin, the sequel, the leadrs meet in helsinki. Things get tricky ahead of the summit. Later republican congressman Ryan Costello joins me live. He says his colleagues conclusions on the russia investigation should be taken with a grain of salt. But just hours from now, President Trump and President Putin are set to meet. Things were always going to be a little awkward to begin with. And then came the indictments of a dozen russians laid out in forensic detail. It leaves a lot of questions, like whether holding those accountable will come up in their conversation. The russians who were indicted, would you ask putin to send them here . Well, i might. I hadnt thought of that, but certainly ill be asking about it. Again, this
Truman ass the nat 1 on thef korean war. Quote what we are doing in korea is this. We are trying to prevent a third world war and this may be a turning point for a search in a practical way of achieving peace and security. And that mission goes on. Eve ael tucker carlsonight. It tns out the doj failed to dictate the final result of the 2,018 president ial election, but a year and a half into the Trump Administration the Justice Department still seems to at times be operating as a shadow government, a place that considers itself beyond the reach of normal oversight. Back in the real world, congress has the explicit constitutional power to oversee the fbi and a othercutincies, less weight supposed to work. Apparently that fact infuriates the Deputy Attorney general Rob Rosenstein. Earlier this year in january, rosensteinhreatened to appeal the email sent on staffers because of her being too aggressive. The message from rosenstein, back off. You dont investigate us, we will investigate yo
Laughed out of my office. And i think the Special Counsel in fairness to the country ought to talk about a subpoena and give the giuliani and trump camp a definite time limit on complying and then go to court if necessary and that action may go to the United States Supreme Court where as you know, the nominee in question believes very strongly that maybe the Nixon Tape Case ought to be considered and the president should be above the law. We mentioned that last night. That the unanimous Nixon Tape Case decided wrongly. What would change if there was a congressional majority in either house of democrats with Subpoena Power . There would be committees who could compel truth telling by Public Officials or at least
production of records. Not only tax returns from donald trump but also internal files from within agencies. There would be compelled production of those kinds of he have he have. The American People want accountability. They want change. That is what this poll and what i am hear
