The latest news from around the world with hosts John Berman and Poppy Harlow. There is nothing at the Department Of Justice that indicates that they didnt do overt acts and these investigation investigations 60 days before elections. Its customary, usually around the time of an election they wont do what is called overt acts, that i wont bring indictments or subpoena people or do anything publicly as to try to not sway the election. The idea that we here in that time frame or approaching it is simply not true. I think what we know, poppy is that we expect mueller will continue in september and there may be a quiet period come octob october, a month before the election.

foot it was on, any records of it, the fact that he continued playing sports in college. so the fact he lied about it is a problem. it didn t hit him too much you look at 2016. you look at mayor pete, and how he uses his service, it is something to contrast. so it is not a disqualifier for trump supporters, the president s pavier, b behavior, think it gives some depth to mayor pete. i want to play more sound from pete buttigieg responding to report iing. the idea of being sent to war turns you into a murderer is exactly the kind of thing that those of us who have served have been trying to beat back for more than a generation. his idea that being sent to fight makes you automatically into some kind of war criminal
simply a partisan exercise designed to take down the president. they now have one of their own not just calling for more hearings, but outwardly say iin he feels that the president s conduct may have risen to being an impeachable offense. if you look at the response from his republican colleagues and just how dismissive they are of his interpretation of his conclusion, i think that tells you and reentorss what we already know. the party are overwhelmingly in the president s corner. they are not going to pick this fight with the president. amash has a primary challenger. kevin mccarthy, the house minority leader has said that he s seeking attention. he said that amash s comments were disturbing. that tells you everything you need to know about how republicans are going to treat what amash has to say. if anything, amash is an anomaly, not a sign of more things to come. all those statements there, no one went after the logic or the argument. they just said he s seek iing
