Counties together. However democrats argue that doesnt comply with civil rights laws and is partisan to a ridiculous extreme. They warned republicans it will probably end up in court again. Senate leader Phillip Burger argued the federal Court Ruling Says the old districts reed too heavily on race so the new map avoids it completely. Race should not be a factor and thats why the districts were drawn as they were. But senator floyd says thats a misreading of the order. The new maps dont comply with standard law. The court should not consider race but yet its been ignored. Its a factor in drawing up these districts. So weve gone from one extreme to the absolute other in violation of Voting Rights. Wrals analysis of the redrawn districts finds they minority in democratic and more in g. O. P. Districts but even though the state is politically divided it gets republicans ten and democrats just three. That level of gerrymandering under mines democracy.

Roy moore has denied all of these sexual allegations. Tonight were seeing new defiance from his campaign puch republicans pleading with him to step aside and he says no. Ive been with him in probably over 100 different meetings. Been around probably in excess of 10,000 different laldies in judge moores presence. And not once, not one time have i ever seen him act even remotely inappropriately against any woman. Thats the man that i know and that ive known for the last 24 years. Today, donald trump just back from his International Trip got many questions about roy moore. He responded with silence for now. Thank you. Thank you all. Should roy moore resign .

Nor do we know which firm conducted it. Also
Weve also learned that manafort is denying ever meeting Julian Assange following a blockbuster report he had met with the wikileaks founder at least three times in previous years. Lets discuss now. Renato mariotti is here as well as josh campbell. Thanks for joining us. Renato, whats your reaction to manafort sharing information from mueller with trumps legal team . Im absolutely shocked. Its something that i have never heard of or seen in my time, both as a prosecutor and as a defense attorney. So i was a prosecutor for almost a decade. Ive been a defense attorney on the other side. I have never heard of somebody flipping, in other words, being on the government side in a case, cooperating against everybody the government asks, and then sharing information with other people who are under investigation about what the prosecution is doing. Its highly unethical, and i think the communications between trumps team and manaforts team are not privileged. Those are communications that mueller
To offer Vladimir Putin the 50 million penthouse. That is according to felix sater, a russianborn onetime business associate of trumps who worked on the project with Michael Cohen. Confronted with news of cohens plea, the president dismissed him as weak, claimed it didnt matter because he could do whatever he wanted during the campaign. But remember, all this means is that then candidate trump was trying to do business with russia in the middle of a campaign that russia interfered in to help elect him. So lets discuss now. We have lots to discuss. John dean is here. Jack quinn. Good evening. Todays developments, gentlemen, its really just when you think it cant get any more twisted, it gets i know this is not a word.

After what happened today, do you think there are parallels . Well, there are some. Hes an obviou
