The latest news from around the world with hosts John Berman and Poppy Harlow. yesterday, trying to defend his client, talking about a lot of these issues related to michael cohen. seemingly, creating more chaos and confusion in his wake. after an interview with cnn yesterday morning, giuliani seemed to open two new fronts in this whole saga, claiming, first, that collusion may not even be a crime, which is different from what we have been hearing from the president. the president has been saying there was no collusion all along. now we are seeing president trump backing giuliani up in a tweet this morning, reiterating that collusion isn t a crime, even though he himself just two days ago suggested that democrats should be investigated for what he claims is their collusion with the russians. then on a second matter, giuliani starts talking about a meeting, a planning meeting that he claimed happened before that infamous trump tower meeting with don junior and russians promisin ....
Former GOP representative Joe Scarborough and Mika Brezinski interview newsmakers, politicians and pundits about the issues of the day. job approval rating probably has seven or eight points, maybe even a little more of what i think of as 401(k) trumpers right now. i think there are people who are looking at their statements, people who are on the right side of the economic equation any way. they see their numbers going up for all sorts of reasons. and so they re willing to not really dive in to this russian novel story that no one can quite figure out. and they re willing to suspend their bizarrely in my view, but they are willing to suspend their ordinary moral judgments about how this president conducts himself and is now representing us on the world stage. but i would not, if i were in the white house, count on that lasting until 2020. we ll see. joe, your latest column in the washington post really speaks to this entitled trump finally feels gravity s unforgiving po ....
The latest news from around the world with hosts John Berman and Poppy Harlow. 18 times this month, 64 times in the last three months. i lay those numbers out because this is at the same time that the american public sort of approval of the mueller probe is declining. it was 48% approval in on how mueller is handling it in march. now it s 41%, the lowest it has been. is the president s strategy working? well, if his strategy is to undermine confidence in the justice department and the institution of the legal process, then, yes, it s working in some ways because he keeps calling this a witch hunt. he has the biggest bully pulpit on the planet. he is misinforming the public by saying mueller is employing 13 angry democrats. we don t necessarily know that any of these people are actually angry. the president is using his pulpit to punch down at the investigation. we are seeing the public react to that. mueller, because he can t respond, that s why you see the numbers go ....
Coverage of national and international news, including breaking stories. campaign discussed hillary clinton but there was no meaningful information shared. a month later in senate testimony he says i did not tell my father about the trump tower meeting. then giuliani says today trump jr. didn t participate in the meeting. trump sr., the candidate at the time. we weren t alleging he was in that meeting so i m puzzled by why he was going down that road. is he saying that cohen says donald trump was in a meeting with the russians or is he just messing the spaghetti around the plate. i m not sure i heard cohen is saying that. as chris hayes posted on twitter, giuliani says donald trump did not participate in the russia transaction. hayes says, who said anything about a transaction? imagine a world in which a normal subject of a criminal investigation didn t talk about this at all and just went about their business. we wouldn t be having any fun. but this meeting is consuming ....
