Ties to the kremlin. As the times points out this is the first confirmed private meeting between a Russia National and members of mr. Trumps inner circle during the campaign. The russian lawyer is known for fighting the u. S. Which allows the u. S. To seize the assets of and deny visas to suspected human rights abusers from russia. In realitation, Vladimir Putin banned american adoption of russian children. Don jr. And kushner both confirmed the meeting had taken place. They primary discussed the Adoption Program, but meanwhile the president s outside legal team is suggesting the meeting was a setup by democrats. The participants in the meeting misrepresented who they were and who they worked for. Specifically we have learned that the person who sought the meeting is associated with a firm, which according to public reports, was obtained by democratic operatives to develop Opposition Research on the president and which commissioned the phony dossier. Who authorized and participated in
What is happening right now, take a look at this. The dow has now crossed 800 points to the downside and a loss greater than 3 . Markets are now down more than 6 since last week. But this is much bigger than last weeks losses. Well follow this very closely. The s p 500 has also plummeted. More than 60 points. That is going to look more like your 401 k . But it is now down more than 5 from its high on january 22nd. Obviously if markets continue to fall 10 from those highs, that would be called a correction. We are more than half way to that correction at the moment. But were not there and what you can see here is markets fluctuating. We get to 800 and pull back. Right to cnbc sue herrera following this. And sue, at some point this accelerated and people said the markets have been up for a long time and they are up and we havent seen the normal pullbacks and there is a discussion on whether this is a normal pullback or something more. And i think that is what our viewers are looking to u
But that friction seems to be seeping into trumps very own inner family. His inner circle with comments from daughter ivanka putting the president in a tough spot. The New York Times reporting that was just out this afternoon, President Trump venting his annoyance with his daughter saying, quote, there was a special place in hell for people who prey on children. That is what ivanka trump said and suggesting that trump sympathized with moore comparing calls for the embattled candidate to step down to his own experience. Including the notorious access Hollywood Tape. And even going as far here as to suggest that the tape was fake. According to the New York Times, he suggested to a senator earlier this year that that tape was not authentic and repeated that claim to an adviser more recently. Lets brief in our washington correspondent Katherine Ram pell and what do you make of the reporting that just came out in the last bunch of hours from the New York Times. First off with the issue of h
To save 30 on all the medications we carry. So go directly to petmeds. Com now. This is cnn tonight. Im don lemon. It is becoming clear with each passing day, since the release of the Mueller Report, that a constitutional crisis is looming between the white house and congress. The Washington Post is reporting tonight that President Trump says he is opposed to current and former aides testifying to congress, claiming that its unnecessary because the white house cooperated with the Mueller Investigation. The administration adopting a strategy of stonewalling house democrats. Cnn learning that they may try to prevent former White House Counsel Don Mcgahn from complying with a house subpoena. The Judiciary Committee requiring mcgahn to turn over documents as it investigates possible obstruction of justice and to testify next month. Well, tonight the judiciary chairman says the subpoena still stands and any claims by the white house of executive privilege would be one more example of obstru
Truth about trump. Good evening one and all. Its nice to have you all in studio. Is this going to be a fight . What a crazy day. I mean, seriously. The president looking up at the sky referring to himself as the chosen one, michael. He praises himself all the time. This is another level. Well, it is another level, but i think this is the secret voice thats inside of him. He does think of himself as a near deiti. He imagines hes a very stable genius. When things are tough for him, he actually retrenches to this automatic pressing of his superiority, his dominance over the news cycle in this case. You know, he got up this morning and i think decided he was going to be talked about all day long by just about everybody, and it turns out that he was talked about all day long by just about everybody. How many times do you think he practiced that . Oh, i think, you know, first he had to write the line im the chosen one and then he had to practice it. He probably had ivanka come in and critiqu
