North korean actions just reenforced for both leaders why this is the number one threat to both Prime Minister abe and to President Trump. I think the north korean actions were deliberately timed after what was a pretty good week in terms of u. S. Policy in asia, with regard to President Trumps call with xi jinping and secretary mattiss trip to the region, i think the Trump Administration said look, were here and were not going to be an easy issue to deal with. Right now the National Security advisor is said to have broke on the law and critics call for him to be fired, for him to step down. How much does that impact the advice that this group can give the president at this time . I think the precedent is going to get advise from a wide range of people, including the folks in the State Department,
particularly those commitments to china that would affect the finances that north korea has for building these missiles, there may be a statement that comes out of the u. N. Security council

Canceled it . On friday, the New York Times wrote the following. Quote, a senior white house official told reporters that even if the meeting were reinstated holding it on june 12 would be impossible given the lack of time needed. President Trump 1307bded on twitter with this false accusation. Quote, the failing the New York Times quotes a senior white house official who doesnt exist, use real people, not phony sources. The source was, in fact, a senior white house official speaking to a large group of reporters in the White House Briefing room. We journalists try as hard as we can to always identify our sources on the record so that we can tell you, our viewers, watchers, listeners, why you should trust our information. Sometimes we agree to allow people to speak anonymously. Well refer to that as talking on background.

Good evening from new york. Im chris hayes. One day before President Trumps former Campaign Manager is going to stand trial in Federal Court for Money Laundering and bank fraud in relation to his work for a prorussian Political Party in ukraine and one day after the president went on possibly his most aggressive twitter rant yet about the mueller investigation, which he called the operation an illegal scam, trumps lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, was out today wildly, desperately spinning to try to accomplish two very specific things. One, move the goalposts to say that collusion is not a crime, and two, to get ahead of the emerging storyline of a Trump Campaign strategy meeting that maybe occurred two days before the Infamous Trump tower meeting that had promised dirt on Hillary Clinton. In two interviews this morning, interviews that were often confusing, bewildering, and in which giuliani often seemed confused, one goal of mr. Giuliani was pretty evident. Chris Hayes discusses the days top ne
A look at the days latest news and headlines. Conclusion from it and it is this. Watch. One denial the president is sticking to right now is that he didnt know anything about the trump tower meeting. He has to stick to that part because of he says he knew about the meeting, that almost certainly means that donald jr. Lied in front of congress and i think that that would almost certainly mean that donald junior would get indicted. I agree with dan, if the president admits that he knew about the meeting down the president did something that both ken starr, and the nixon prosecutors, archibald cox, as that was an Impeachable Offense and that is using the instruments of the government to lie to the american public. The instruments of the government would be Air Force One when he dictated the statement saying it was just about russian adoptions. So the president s knowledge is key here to drawing the president into this, but it is not key to Drawing Donald Junior In and hes already in. Sand
