Of course, there is still the mueller investigation. This hearing, we can tell you, is still running a bit behind schedule. Thats because a spokesman for the Judiciary Committee says chairman nadler was involved in some kind of crash today on his way from washington to new york, were told that the congress is okay, no one was hurt. But it is delaying things just a bit there on the hill. So while we wait, lets turn to our reporters. Nbcs Garrett Haake is following the hearing for us on the hill. I want to bring in our justice correspondent Pete Williams. Garrett, ill start with you. The attorney generals first appearance before the committee. Obviously democrats are going to want answers about a number of things. I just laid out a few of them. Walk us through what you think will be among the most contentious topics, shall we say. Democrats have long sought the hearing with this attorney general. For months they wanted to get him here to talk about all those issues you laid outgoing back
Reimbursed by mexico. Reporter trump insisting that mexico will pay for the board wall, but offering few details. Hours after signing an executive order directing funds for building that wall. All i can say is we will be reimbursed at a later date from whatever transaction we make with mexico. That wall will cost us nothing. Reporter his rhetoric is bringing tension between himself and president nieto. Pena nieto defiantly responding to the u. S.

Reporter trump erroneously cited a pugh study where the author found in evidence of voter fraud. Then why did he write the report . Then hes groveling again. Remember i talk about the reporters groveling when they write something they want to hear but you dont nece
Desperate and actually worse. Matter of fact, at twopoint rephrase, a total schiff show if you know what i mean. Capitol hill and the democrats everywhere have reason to be worried tonight. It was such a disaster. It actually brought in therapy dogs, not making this up. They defended on capitol hill presumably to help democrats cope with their emotions. Believe it or not, the circus, this was supposed to be there big, big day. This was it. They brought in their cherry picked witnesses, they were exciting kick off, their best shot to take this president down. Get the president behind them. Store witnesses, compelling evidence, none of that happening. The exact opposite happened. Now, we heard from two kind of selfimportant, uncompelling, welcome assuming more important democrats. They have no firsthand information whatsoever and what i mean none, i mean zero, not one of them ever talk to the president nor anyone near the president when got tons of conjecture. Oh, hearsay upon hearsay. M
