Deadline white house with Nicolle Wallace begins right now. Hi, everyone. Its 4 00 in new york. Donald trump today resorting to a familiar tactic spreading lies and smears on one of his favorite cable news programs in the wake of the House Democrats public hearings this week providing irrefutable evidence that donald trump conditioned refused military aid could tukt informations. The New York Times writes, quote, President Trump unleashed a series of falsehoods on friday on an effort to invalidate the Impeachment Inquiry and counter sworn testimony from officials in his own administration. After a week of damaging public
hearings. And while divisions in our politics endure, its beyond debate that the democrats fact witnesses, the majority of them, trump appointees and career diplomats, painted a
and frankly donald trump probably does want to improve the relationship. we can talk about or she can talk about because i m really here today as her lawyer. you represent her. nou navigated her through this impeachment proceeding. do you have any visibility into how she experienced flash points like helsinki? she was part of our country s intelligence agency. he stood there in helsinki next to putin and said i believe putin, not the intelligence agencies. yeah. but i think she would say there are other things that happened even at helsinki. and again further to her goal of improving the relationship, there were channels that were furthered during that process, and particularly on the arms control side which is important for all of us. so she decided to serve, and, you know, i think one of the points that she wanted me to express on your air is that over the course of the past two weeks, the american people have got to meet a number of the nonpartisan experts who have
he s prepared. he s ready. he wants to stretch out negotiations. he wants a one-on-one with the president. he doesn t want to give up his nuclear weapons. and my worry is that the president is going to say, okay, what is it that you want, and kim jong-un is going to say, i want a peace treaty for the peninsula. the president gives him that, and doesn t get in exchange substantial dismantling of nuclear weapons, missiles, weapons of mass destruction. and settles for something less than he should. and this is where pompeo and began and here i m also rooting for john bolton. he s a hard liner, but he i hope is saying to the president don t give up on the arms control side, the nuclear negotiations. that s the substance of the relationship. that s what affects american security. japan, south korea. don t let them off the hook. and my worry is that the president, with his troubles, with mueller and the shutdown

go along with this if you look back at the 80s and 90s debates in the caucus, helms on one side, s.t.a.r.t. one, s.t.a.r.t. two, chemical when with pops, in the end a majority of the republican caucus always came down on the arms control side that seems like a very uphill climb. you saw in this era, as recently as yesterday, jon kyl saying, no i still do not think this there is time to do that this year. articulate the policy disagreement that kyl and the new wing has. it is ragu, progressive, it s in there the argument about missile defense, something that s dealt with nato, no not part of it the white house says do you this you weaken medvedev and strengthen putin which you would think would be something that some of these hard line hawks on the republican caucus would buy into. as you say, these former republican sec teefrs state have been tough on those arguments, basically made the case that the
