what else has the trump administration forgotten? a former trump campaign advisor joins me ahead. some air fresheners are so overwhelming, they can. send you and your family running. introducing febreze one for fabric and air. no aerosols. no dyes. no heavy perfumes. it cleans away odors for a pure light freshness. so you can spray and stay. febreze one, breathe happy.
if you somehow time traveled frr another era in american political life to witness this week in the trump administration, you would be a fool not to think that the events that unfolded since monday were enough to end donald trump s presidency. indictments of his former campaign chair paul manafort for conspiracy against the united states. campaign staffer and associate rick gates. news that george papadopoulos already pleaded guilty in special counsel robert mueller s russia investigation. but we who are in this timeline, who follow donald trump for a living, know better than to write a political obituary for the man because there have been really countless times where donald trump looked completely done, unfit, ineffective, when the lying was too reckless to ignore, when headlines announced it was trump s worst week. and still has donald trump begins his 11th month in office,
the papadopoulos case right now. we know we know mueller s people have been questioning the people in that room. sam clovis, who was papadopoulos campaign supervisor, was before the grand jury a week ago and had to resign pull back from his nomination to be at usda this week as a result of these disclosures. but mueller has some answers about what trump s response is, and i think that s very critical. i would just say i think that the march 31st meeting is extremely important, but i think the key to all of this is looking at it from what happened after papadopoulos was informed by this russia-linked professor that the russians had these thousands and thousands of e-mails that they said came from hillary clinton s campaign. when he essentially learned that the russians had dirt and they wanted to give it to the trump campaign. after that you saw a consistent effort by papadopoulos to reach out to high-level members of the trump campaign, apparently not j.d. gordon and jeff sessio

and while others shot it down, he continued, so what did donald trump say to him after that proposal? that s the big question. what did donald trump say there and was he ever informed about the trump tower meeting. like the real questions, the outstanding ones which mueller will have access to because he ll talk to people involved, did the president ever know about this and what did he do? did he say yeah, let s go, let s do it. there s still skepticism surrounding where he was during that trump tower meeting. people really don t know, they haven t pinned that down, and during that march 31st meeting, the foreign policy rendezvous, he apparently was intrigued by papadopoulos offer to set up this meeting. so he really didn t shoot it down. it seemed like his interest had been piqued and from there that will be mueller s probe. the last thing i ll say here is this was a very flat campaign organization. there was not a lot of layers between a guy like george papadopoulos and the ca
