fifth accuser of roy moore emerged this afternoon. And this time, the woman appeared before cameras and told her own story in her own words
I am Shannon Bream in washington. Its true if true, its a bombshell we are starting with. Rudy giuliani says special ponds or Robert Mueller is promising to follow Justice Department guidelines that a sitting president cannot be indicted. Has implications for the Russia Collusion probe and may come as a disappointing to the president s critics. Kristin fisher have the details. This is a Significant Development but it still doesnt mean that President Trump is unclear. What it means is that according to his attorney, the Special Convalesce concluded that he did not have the power to indict a sitting president. Robert mueller could recommend impeachment to the House Of Representatives but an indictment Rudy Giuliani said tonight that mueller told him two weeks ago that his team will follow the Department Of Justice guidelines which has a sitting president cannot be indicted. I think that they have the facts on which they can write their report. Going to write a fair report, write it. If y
digging up potential dirt or attempts to on the president s democratic rival, joe biden, what do we know about that from what has been unsealed? so far, that is not mentioned. we can t see that it is mentioned in these documents. giuliani has been very forward about his efforts to try to get this information from ewe containan sources and try to essentially, you know, put it into the mainstream here in the united states and these two guys who are florida based, by the way, were very central to that effort. exactly what you re talking about. this is an effort that was based out of ukraine and the effort here was to try to dig up dirt on joe biden and to try to make sure that this was something that would become part of the election campaign for 2020. evan, the wall street journal has a little bit of reporting that i d like your take on. the wall street journal this morning specifically is reporting two things, that these two men had dinner with the president in may of 2018 and
attorney rudy giuliani that he has spoken personally with ukrainian officials as he looks for potential dirt on joe biden and his son hunter. you and i talked about this back in may when giuliani was planning a trip for this purpose which ultimately, he called off. you said that congress should investigate. instead, he met with his contact in madrid last month. is this something that democrats are going to investigate? if you mean by investigating, i meant rudy giuliani. i think mr. giuliani s activities threatened back in may and now going on today are really un-american. i mean, it s not his business to be investigating the former vice president of the united states. it s a canard. it s been disproved. but it lingers in social media on blogs. right ring blogs. and rudy giuliani is trying to try to discredit the former vice president. none of us can fully account for the activities of our family
then-candidate donald trump was still trying to do business with russia in the summer of 2016. we know as well that his son and son-in-law had been meeting with russians to get potential dirt on hillary clinton. we know that his campaign aides knew about the e-mails that had been stolen by the russians. and we knew that his campaign chairman, paul manafort, was trying to offer to brief the russians. when you say the campaign aides knew i m talking about papadopoulos. these are all things thereat have been established by mueller. and what i find particularly interesting with the revelation of cohen s plea is that he is saying he lied to protect then-candidate trump s stories that he had nothing to do with russia. so now, the president seems to already be changing his story a little bit and saying, well, it was all legal. i ll leave lawyers to make those determinations, but i have to believe that most republicans who were about to nominate donald trump in the summer of 16 would pr
