some tries to cast doubt on the the explosive testimony of former white house aide cassidy hutchinson, he tweeted this, i know her, i don t think she s lying. and here is what he said when he announced his resignation. two things i think caught me as i was watching yesterday. number one, the president had always in the past had sort of thrown a hyperbolic ideas and say why don t we do x and everybody knew that was a bridge too far. you tell him no, mr. president, that is not how this works. and he thinks out loud. that is one ever his mannerisms. i think you saw a different group of advisers inside of the white house instead of saying mr. president, let s talk about that saying that is a great idea mr. president. you have folks like peter navarro and lin wood and rudy giuliani. and there was a large number of people, a large group of people yesterday who were willing to do this, if the president of the united states went on stage and said go march down the street and invade

mike pompeo, mcmill vaughny, the list of trump officials not cooperating is getting shorter by the day. it is getting much shorter and as you say that is an important sign that both probes, the house probe, which was debated for a long time about whether this would be significant and serious or not and then obviously a doj probe, so mess with that at your own peril. mulvaney saying he wants to tell the truth and that is acknowledging the legitimacy of the house probe and he wants engage in this. to the new york times, i would say really interesting reporting but it raises profound questions about whether the justice department or merrick garland has learned the wrong lessons. if they think how they do the probe and the facts will somehow move the audio chamber and the main propaganda arms of maga, i don t know that they ve learned any lessons. this is not a debate with william f. buckley where certain
info wars, they re already losing. and the reporting is that donald trump was not the immediate focus of this probe. but we ve heard that is certainly has ramped up and we heard from the attorney general this week say no man is above the law. so this is difficult to gain out, katie, because of how opaque this investigation is. but is there a sense of time line and targets, how long this could continue beyond just the usual answer of as long as it takes. realistically, how long could the doj probe go before they make a decision. i would say they re not try toing re-but outcomes of their own, but their own inspector general and those who tried to pre-but anything, but they re trying not to be jim comey, who
as well, this prosecution will be based on the the evidence but it would be naive to suggest it is not happening in the real world where politics do play a role and i think both sides of the aisle in washington were watching this wear illy. if a former president is indicted for a crime. if a potentially favored candidate to be president again, certainly you say he s the favorite, at least for the gop nominee right now, if he is indicted for a crime and we ve be a new sort of potentially dangerous place. yeah. and donald trump has made that case at rallies saying all of this investigation into me is just to prevent me from being your president for another term, he said to his supporters. merrick garland saying it is just about the pursuit of justice. justice department reporter for the new york times, katie benner, thank you for being here this morning. ari melber, thank you. we ll be watching your special report inside trump s election plot tonight at 6:00 and 9:00
