Alex Witt hosts coverage of national and international news, including breaking stories. When a meeting of that nature, would it constitute a violation of the law . You have to look at what laws, rules, Regulation Statutes are violated here. When did you learn that the Denial Wasnt True . Well, let me tell you two things on that. I was on the case a couple of weeks, and there was a lot of Information Gathering and as Rudy Giuliani said, i had Bad Information at that point. In a situation like this, you have over time, facts develop. Thats what investigations do. Lets start with nbcs white house correspondent, Kelly Odonnell who was covering the president in new jersey first. Before we g to to to the rest o great panel this sunday. What are you hearing right now . The president is certainly going after the Special Counsel today, isnt he . Reporter well, good to be with you, richard, and the president is really hitting a number of his major frequent targets, the Special Counsel, the medi
A news show featuring the top headlines of the day from pop culture to politics, which are discussed by a rotating panel of four women and one man. A stickler for a speedy trial that he often snaps at the mueller team if he thinks they are dragging things out. The mueller team complained about the judge with emotion, protesting a comment that he made yesterday, where he urged the special counsels lawyers not to focus so much on loans that Paul Manafort was denied, he wanted them to focus on loans that he got. The mueller team didnt think it was fair, they wrote in the motion, the courts suggestion that the government was unnecessarily spending time on a loan that manafort did not receive undermines the wellestablished law on conspiracy, undercuts the charge in count 28, and is likely to confuse and mislead the jury. The mueller team wants the judge to do the same thing yesterday, explain that he may have made a mistake to the jury. But they wanted to it happen this morning. And it didn
zero coverage of former democrat congresswoman corrine brown s fraud conviction and 68 seconds of former democratic congressman fatah also convicted of fraud. the republic be a, collins, getting more than 15 minutes of coverage in the first 24 hours after the news broke. what do you think? tom: i can t tell you i m shocked. what i don t understand is, i understand there is relevance, congressman gets indicted. what i don t understand is why they constantly try to make a link, he s a friend have trump, supporter of trump, known on associate with republicans. it doesn t have a connection to the alleged crime f this was something where he was conspi conspireing with other republicans in the caucus it s relevant. but the fact he engaged in what allegedly was an insider trading stock scheme with his son and relatives that, has no relevance to the larger political connections or who he endorses for president. melissa: and he got the
collusion? your thought? well, it certainly means collusion. the question is is it conspi conspireing? i m not a lawyer. i will rely on bob mueller to give his verdict on this. i think it s incredibly interesting that the tv attorney that you had on with the quote earlier tweeted today that his previous statements were inoperative, and more or less he disseminated the information, gotten some wrong information, he didn t say from whom, and what he said last summer was not true. that is what ron ziegler said of president nixon, except he was not a lawyer. jay sekulow could be disbarred and a lot of these people working for trump will be disbarred if he keeps tweeting this stuff. he says there is no collusion, and now he is saying that s not a crime. i think bob mueller will have a different view of that. susan? on top of it, we always see
all last week of the trial of paul manafort, his former campaign chairman. he took issue with the coverage, he is angered by it, and he is upset that manafort, and the charges that he is facing in the courthouse in virginia this past week have to do with his previous business work. not with the trump campaign specifically, so the president is very rattled and bothered by that, and all of this is sort of conspireing in his mind to leave him agitated, nervous, anxious, frustrated, fearful and we re seeing this come out publicly in these tweets and these things he is making at his political rallies at the media. phillip, as you look at this increased stress for the president, he is brooding and how is he expressing that brooding privately as you were saying in your headline here, but roaring publicly? well, he is privately having conversations with associates as he always does. he is one who works the phones. he talks to people all day long. he like that is, and he is expressing a lot
