depending upon the day, depending upon who the president talks to, it s one way or the other. when dr. ford gave her testimony, she was compelling. the president felt that, but he liked the fight of his supreme court nominee. but, you know, now the president has he s standing strong but he s also giving himself an out, you know, talking about lying under oath or perjuring yourself possibly. when he goes to this it s a sad day for young men, he s bringing himself into it and he s also bringing those who believe in judge kavanaugh. so he s trying to have it both ways. he s giving himself an out but still supporting judge kavanaugh. he s got that out. this white house is clear that there are some discrepancies in some of these reports and some of the friends are coming out and saying things. and they re concerned about
women. the president said moments ag ago, hang on, we have hillary clinton speaking at this atlantic festival. of the clintons among other people. your response. i mean, really, yes, it deserves a lot of laughter. i wasn t watching when he said that. i was having to be somewhere else and away from a tv and even my phone and so i heard about it later. you know, look, i thought it was just part of the whole of his very defensive and unconvincing presentation. and told someone later, boy, i ll tell you, they give us a lot of credit.
even crossed the line. he believes it s possible that mueller s team could bring charges against him to somehow flim and kw flip and cooperate against the president. stone denied it and said i ve always acknowledged playing hard core politics but i ve always said my campaign tactics do not include breaking the law, he said the special counsel is willfully misleading the grand jury. as for the special counsel s office, they are not commenting, brooke. sarah murray, thank you. the senate majority leader just revealed whether the report on brett kavanaugh will be made public, this as several democrats say it should be kept confidential.
the fate of rod rosenstein may be in limbo longer than expect expected. moments ago, the president has said he will wait. remember, it was just a week ago the number two man at the justice department was expecting to be fired after an explosive report cited sources say thatting saying that rosenstein suggested secretly taping the president and impeaching him from office. laura, what s the deal with rod rosenstein? reporter: well, what a difference a week makes in this
profiling to when rachel jeantel was on the stand to almost becoming a workshop in how it s conducted. i saw some of those things from online and comment sections and, you know, on twitter and so on coming from people who are white as well as coming from people who are african-americans who felt that, you know, maybe her vernacular or the way she spoke was not credible or maybe her appearance. it did seem there was contempt coming from one quarter and embarrassment coming from another. it all seemed to surround the similar dynamic of racial profiling. thanks for being a part of this conversation. obviously, it s the topic that doesn t go away raised by this entire trial. thanks for your time. thank you. that s going to do it for us on this edition of andrea mitchell reports. more of the zimmerman trial next on news nation with tamron hall. thanks for watching. because all these whole grains aren t healthy unless you actually eat them multigrain cheerios. also available in d
