hashtag long form. hashtag, good to see you. have a good show. okay. hashtag, thank you. always good talking, nicole. i m ari melber and we re reporting live from somewhere, as the saying goes, specifically washington. congress under new management after the bruising fight to elect speaker mccarthy and for all the talk, among gop hard liners about how that clash, remember, they said that would really change things. it would upend the d.c. games, that s what they said. well, tonight for top republicans, i can tell you, it s business as usual. the same playbook the republican party used during the last time that the republicans were in the white house and they had the congress. it s the brinksmanship that can rattle the economy and some conservatives argue actually hurts them too. it drags down the gop in the long run miami talking about another threat to exploit the financial rules and govern by ransom. this story involves some beltway jargon that you ve probably h ....
Supervisor to call out the deceit about the true nature and context about the entire report that he spent so long creating and investigating and writing. that was then. this is now. a long time since then, especially the way the news has been lately. but barr hasn t faced much serious questioning about what he did. that s partly because like many people in and around government, he tries to stick to friendly environments when he wants to get his message out, fox news appearances. and of course, the occasionally legally acquired deposition, like when he went in and testified to the january 6th committee and under oath, suddenly started talking about why trump was a liar and lied about the election. but here s what s different right now if you haven t seen it yet. barr just went on realtime with bill maher on hbo and took some questions and tried to spin his spin on the mueller report, claiming that that whole unusual pr stunt with his cover letter ....

Declaring he did nothing wrong. it s all a hoax. it s a scam. reporter: trump wanted barr to say publicly he broke no laws when he pushed president zelensky for an investigation into his political rivals. though trump denied the report today saying barr did not decline my request to talk about ukraine, adding the justice department already ruled that the call was good. while it s unclear if the two discussed the move directly, barr hasn t denied that trump wanted him to clear his name. it comes as house democrats are preparing to take their case public. what s going on in washington, d.c. is a disgrace. i think the american people see through it. reporter: trying to coalesce around a defense for the president s actions and one trump ally is chalking it up to incompetence. what i can tell you about the trump policy to ukraine, it was incoherent. it depends who you talk to. they seem to be incapable of forming a quid pro quo. ....
