got all the questions. here s what we have. when the new york times broke the story about the trump tower more than a year ago, don junior dismissed it saying it was primarily about an adoption program. that statement drafted, of course, as we ve been discussing aboard air force one on the way back from the g20 summit. donald trump admitted on twitter this was a meeting to get information on an opponent. that is one glaring inconsistency. another on whether trump was involved in drafting the statement. jay sekulow said days after the story broke, the president wasn t involved. months later trump s attorneys admitted in a memo sent to robert mueller the president dictated it. on whether trump knew about the trump tower meeting in the first place, the official party line is trump knew nothing about it. that s what donald junior testified to before the senate judiciary committee back in september. of course now nbc news is reporting trump s former fixer michael cohen is prepared to tell
caucus. and all the stuff we ve been talking about? it s two things, the freedom caucus is trying to do everything they can to undermine the mueller investigation, they re going after one of their own. he s overseeing the mueller investigation. this is what their base wants to hear, there have been some reports that have come out this weekend that there are people in american who are staunch supporters of trump who are glad that russia interfered in the election, because they wanted to make sure that donald trump won. the freedom caucus, jim jordan, mark meadows, all of their members are doing what donald trump s base and their base wants. let s talk about our relationship with russia. putin invited trump to moscow. john bolton says the summit is being put off until next year, when the witch hundred is the

renegotiated as quickly as possible and this chinese situation resolved as quickly as possible. there are questions about whether the president himself fully understands the complexity of some of these trade issues, trump tweeted, tariffs are the greatest, a country that has treated the u.s. unfairly on trade or it gets hit with tariffs, it s as simple as that, and everybody s talking, remember, we re the piggybank that s being robbed, all the will be great. during trump s meeting with the european commission president this week. the eu leader used a dozen cue cards. how do you assess trump s approach to trade. how does it compare to president obama, of course. i think president obama took the view that we benefit from global trade as a nation that we create relationships with nations that make us a more
