Tamara keith, White House Correspondent for npr. And ken vogel political reporter for the New York Times. Thank you all for being with us especially as part of our Leadoff Panel tonight. Ken, ill lead off with you. What do you make of this bank subpoena, if true, is it a big deal . What else does it speak of . Absolutely. We always kind of knew that this was a possibility that mueller would start looking into Donald Trumps finances and this subpoena, again, if it is accurate that Deutsche Bank has been subpoenaed, would indicate that he is fully going down that route. Deutsche bank is significant because donald trump it has at least 130 million worth of Donald Trumps debt and it sold some of that debt or could have sold some of that debt to russian banks. That could potentially give these russian banks some leverage over donald trump. And so you have the combination here potentially of Donald Trumps finances as well as his
dealings with russia and how those two things intertwine. So ev
brought burr across the finish line. mitch are you owe your job to donald trump. here to talk about it cornell belcher democratic poster who works on the campaigns. jill colvin back with us white house reporter for the associated press and david jolly back with us former congressman from florida. okay, congressman, mike murphy who is funnier than the average gop political consultant said on this broadcast steve bannon can t deliver a pizza let alone a congressional district race. do you think bannon s going to have better luck this time around? well, the people of alabama might elect roy moore and we know that. listen, steve bannon is that drunk uncle at your thanksgiving dinner. what he has done is doubled down on what trump did by endorsing moore and now he s using it to attack romney and mcconnell.
on what trump did by endorsing moore and now he s using it to attack romney and mcconnell. by attacking mitt romney, steve bannon and in essence donald trump ha chosen a new foil and it s a foul unlike anybody else. there are very few republicans with the elafghanistan and conservatism that mitt romney has, and i don t know that this is a fight that steve bannon and donald trump want to have with mitt romney. if there is a fight for the soul of the republican party, mitt romney commands a lot of respect among conservatives. steve bannon picked a fight tonight and it will be interesting what it means for the future of the party. cornell, since you re the numbers guy here, do you trust any of the polling you see coming out of alabama. well, here is the tough part, brian, is that, you know, we can t it s hard to judge or this is the art of it, right, what kind of elector rate is going to turn out, right.
declared in a major shift overnight despite the fact the party pulled its support and money after accusations from eight women, eight women that many party officials and white house officials, if you include ivanka trump say they believe or have no reason to doubt. one of those women, debbie gibson, provided evidence of dating moore when she was 17, she said that s the age i was when i dated roy moore because my braces were off. go get em, roy moore. rebecca burke on the latest of who is and who is not backing moore. a shift in the past 24 or 48 hours in the republican view of the alabama senate race, and also of roy moore in particular.
myself and i know you will be a success in anything you do, roy. i have known roy for many years and i dated him in 1981 and i dated for a brief time and we kissed with my consent and i am sad he says he doesn t know me. reporter: the moore campaign said moore already said he knew her and her family but did not recall any of the dates. had he said he did not know the women he was referring to the women that accused him of sexual assault. when she said she heard moore say he didn t know any of the women, that s when she knew he was lying. thank you. new this morning under fire for sexual harassment claims,
