The latest news from around the world with host Fredricka Whitfield. Right . But it has to be potentially damaging. I was a senior republican senator, im not attacking the Koch Brothers because theyre still good donors of mine, so why stir up that . Why talk about lebron james or our own don lemon . The president does, you know, get involved in a lot of things. It would be much better if he left it. He could have an opportunity to speak if he really wants to and his attorneys are advising against the president being interviewed by bob mueller but apparently they are still working on questions of parameters, et cetera. Do you see, shan, that the president just simply cannot resist, even if his attorneys say dont do it, he cant resist but talk about it facetoface with bob mueller. I think he definitely has a Discipline Problem in terms of message and i think thats why his lawyers are so worried about him sitting down with mueller. Why is he so insistent that he would want to. I think tha
A recap of the days news. A recap of the days news. A recap of the days news. Through the Revolving Door down here, theres a word that became a word i never heard of until this presidency when people were sort of struggling with how to describe this government of sort of fringe characters, people with resumes that did not usually enter into government service. And that word is chacistocracy. It points in this presidency, its been an apt way to describe it. To paraphrase donald trump, theyre not sending their best. And i think the evidence that you its not a partisan point, you laid out the evidence there of an administration that is just filled with people who have either crossed ethical
lines or challenged norms that we have all upheld for decades in this country. And all being led by the president at the top who sets that tone. Lets talk more about the swamp here, Rudy Giuliani says they have responded to muellers latest proposal regarding an interview. These allegations should be ov
This country what it is. Im proud of you and your family. Dont ever forget where you came from, boy. Yes, maam, absolutely right. Amen to that. Thank you, chris. See you soon. This is cnn tonight, im don lemon, Chris Collins of new york stands indicted in an alleged Insider Trading scheme. Accused of multiple counts of fraud. It is rare for prosecutors to indict a sitting elected official, particularly in an election year. The u. S. Attorney in new york says that collins acted as if laws, well, they didnt apply to him. Donald trump has accomplished in this primary, is unprecedented. Donald trump is absolutely brilliant, and Donald Trumps a
swamp of washington, were going to have fun doing it, were all doing it together. When it comes to washington, d. C. , it is time to drain the swamp. Not only has that swamp not been drained, this administration is building all over it i know that Chris Collins is a congressman and a trump supporter, hes not a member of this administration, trump tol
fascinating. you know, somebody at the white house to look at that quote and say huh, it s working. it s working. and i think to some extent the public had made up its mind from the moment that barr put out the summary. even before the day that the mueller report came out, chuck, look what happened on that day. barr spoke an hour and a half before the report was made public and before those exerts were released. so, i think it s hard to put the tooth paste back into the tube. the white house knows it. the president s attorneys know it. and they re making the case the attorney general said it s time to move on so we can. to your point, what would this have looked like if mueller had spoken first. it s not just the president. i want to emphasize that legal writers and scholars as esteemed in our circles as john is in stories. many have said the mueller report is exactly what a special counsel should not do which is their job, preachreach a conclu. and as a result judge
general barr is finally willing to get to the bottom of it. laura: there s something that s so hilarious about how unaffected he is. he s batting it away. doesn t get emotional or dramatic about it. he was also asked about the mueller report obstruction decision itself, let s watch. were you surprised when he came back with no recommendation on that obstruction charge? does that surprise you? yes, that surprised me. how come. because the function of a prosecutor is to make a call one way or the other. he gave an explanation for it and it s pretty much reflected in the report. you re okay with him testifying. absolutely. he was himself surprised that there was no obstruction recommendation. he doesn t care, if mueller can testify, he can testify.
