Squeaky clean. There were complaints. Meredith vieira says he kept sex toys in his office. Hoda and savanna knew about thi this. And at msnbc, they said it was kind of a open secret. I know thats been a band phrase. Some of it was consensual but a lot of it was not. A lot of it was humiliating, degrading, harassment, borderline sexual assault. It looks like they have a problem because when you combine them spiking the Ronan Farrow Weinstein peace with them spiking the Juanita Broaddrick bill clinton peace and protecting matt lauer for all these years. And doesnt good for them and they made a half A Billion Dollars in profits every year and the ratings are great.

Nbctoday show fixture and have a Harvey Weinstein story. Nbc said take it somewhere else. Its not a story want to do. It comes out in the new yorker and thats the sp
hours or more? you d expect probably some tweets, right? it s one of the things he s known for. the white house took care of that. they didn t want anyone to raise attention to the fact he wasn t tweeting and they actually scheduled tweets to go out during the time he was in the air so that it wouldn t raise any suspicion. so interesting to hear that color. what was happening behind the scenes. kristen holmes, thank you for that reporting. let s discuss with josh rogan, columnist for the washington post and brigadier general mark kimmet, former assistant secretary of state under president george w. bush. general, let me start with you. just three months ago, president trump canceled all peace talks with the taliban. how have the dynamics changed to perhaps allow the talks to resume? i think that everybody wanted these talks to happen. i would suspect that the lead negotiator kept in touch with the taliban throughout that time because we knew at some point in time the president
ground. sandra: two former twitter employees are accused of spying on behalf of saudi arabia. this is an interesting story. it goes back several years back to 2015. one twitter employee was a u.s. citizen. the other was a saudi national working with a third person. they in their jobs at twitter had the kind of access where they would be able to get personal information about people who were tweeting so that if you are a dissident or speaking out against the kingdom of saudi arabia, they would be able to track you down. in one instance of something they shared in the disclosure they said they had the guy s i.p. address, they knew he wasn t tweeting from his smartphone. he was actually using a computer and if you know that someone is using a computer and you can get their i.p. address you can have an easy job of geo locating them. with those two pieces of information, a phone number, email address, i.p. address all that stuff mixed together easy to find. bill: if it s true that
about stormy daniels. the president wasn t tweeting about that. now, they re in another situation where there s not anything they can say that will help them. aaron and anita, thank you. guy lewis, appreciate it. coming up next, a story that has probably flown under your radar but shouldn t be. we ll talk about how betsy devos and her education department are chipping away from protections for students in depth. we have new reporting about that and how democrats see that as the new front for a resistance push. this is important for people with asthma. yes. it s a targeted medicine proven to help prevent severe asthma attacks, and lower oral steroid use. about 50% of people with severe asthma have too many cells called eosinophils in their lungs. fasenra™ is designed to work with the body to target and remove eosinophils. fasenra™ is an add-on injection for people 12 and up with severe eosinophilic asthma. don t use fasenra™ for sudden breathing problems or other problems caus
investigation, that would still proceed at pace. but to the president especially, the cohen thing was so upsetting for him in part because he saw it as a sign of the mueller investigation run amok, an overreach, and going a bit more afield than he is comfortable with. and when you ask those questions, you are just playing, you know, would the president ever actually fire bob mueller? would the president ever actually pardon michael cohen? there s this sense that basically if there is a red line crossed and in the president s mind, it s not just his business and his families, it s basically the investigation, mueller s investigation goes outside the scope that the president understood it to be, which was russia collusion and then obstruction. that is when white house aides say the risk becomes really real, the threat becomes more than sort of a near constant boil and these angry tweets that don t necessarily mean any imminent action. bob, talk about the relationship as you know it bet
