unwanted, the poorly bred, those yearning to be free, and we will do whatever the hell we can to make it if we re given a chance. it is the exception among us who doesn t have that in their blood. remember who we are because who we are is the key to what we are and why this country has always been great. that s our closing argument. thank you for getting after it with us tonight here. i ll see you tomorrow night. d lemon picks it up from here. it s a great closing argument. number one, lebron james talked to me about the kids being separated at the border. again, he s saying that s not who we are. number two, when you said that and talked about summer camp, you reminded me. i saw your wife this weekend. didn t you pick up one of your kids from summer camp? she was in chicago, and she won best actor in her level of character she had. you know what s sad? i asked a guest a while back, do you think that it s possible that some of these kids will never be reunited with their ....
A recap of the day s news. the idea that somehow this is floating out in the ether somewhere in orbit far away from the central focus of this investigation is just not true. those lines of investigation are open. and this is a man who has shown himself willing to do some fairly dodgy work for people supported by the kremlin abroad in the ukraine. and that s one reason why he s standing in court today. and this is just the beginning and again, one of two trials. the first of two trials for paul manafort this summer. so this is and the first one as far as the russia investigation. listen, there s they have to go a long way, as you said. there s a long way to go, and april, the judge s name is ts ellis. he banned any mention of president trump, russia or collusion from the courtroom. i mean, that may be, but the trial is no doubt weighing on this white house. it is definitely weighing on this white house, don. from my sources, they re saying the white house is very co ....
people have made to congress to buttress the russian side of the collusion investigation. thank you for that. we thank you for watching this hour of msnbc live throughout, i mean, from the very beginning craig melvin who s about to pick up our coverage from the day that robert mueller was appointed thrappoin appointed, this story has never been far from the headlines. among these many days, this is huge. this is an infection pointing deep. we re going to continue our coverage. good morning, craig melvin, msnbc headquarters here in new york city. that breaking news on the mueller investigation is where we start. shortly before president trump left for his meeting with world leaders in argentina, last hour just a few moments ago he called his one-time attorney and fixer michael cohen a quote, weak person, who is lying. cohen made a surprise appearance in a federal courtroom in manhattan this morning. he named the president. he named president trump in a shocking new plea deal in ....
Problematic and all of it bears on impeachment problem. the other question i want to go to you before we brought it out on the law is when you list that off, that s a target rich environment of basically federal crimes you re talking about. do you views those as in directly in the collusion investigation mueller was assigned or basically arising outlet of collusion. well, to your point the referral from rosenstein to mueller is quite broad. it would clearly encompass all of that. but to me what came out if you read carefully the information that mueller issued with respect to cohen, you can see in the e-mails that are documented in that information, this is not just mr. cohen talking, linking the president and communications with the russians relating to the moskow deal during the campaign. but business crime that may not be quote-unquote collusion. well, collusion is not a crime. conspiracy is a crime. ....
Coming in and trying to lie, even in closed-door sessions, even just with staff as was the case with this michael cohen interview. i ve talked to a number of lawmakers on the senate side who have made exactly that point, including richard burr, the chairman of the senate intel committee, and on the house side adam schiff has been out for quite a while the ranking democrat, on the house intel committee saying he believes there were witnesses who lied to that committee in their investigation over the last year, and you re any of those witnesses who might have said something that you might now perhaps regret, today is potentially a day of reckoning. i can t help but think in the indictment itself rather the complaint against cohen talking about trump family members, remember that both jared kushner and donald trump junior have given testimony to committees on the house and senate side, and presumably would have been asked about some of these same business dealings that now cohen is saying ....
