Alex Witt hosts coverage of national and international news, including breaking stories. When a meeting of that nature, would it constitute a violation of the law . You have to look at what laws, rules, Regulation Statutes are violated here. When did you learn that the Denial Wasnt True . Well, let me tell you two things on that. I was on the case a couple of weeks, and there was a lot of Information Gathering and as Rudy Giuliani said, i had Bad Information at that point. In a situation like this, you have over time, facts develop. Thats what investigations do. Lets start with nbcs white house correspondent, Kelly Odonnell who was covering the president in new jersey first. Before we g to to to the rest o great panel this sunday. What are you hearing right now . The president is certainly going after the Special Counsel today, isnt he . Reporter well, good to be with you, richard, and the president is really hitting a number of his major frequent targets, the Special Counsel, the medi
Out the primary findings. He says he thinks this is a bad day for those hoping the Mueller Investigation would take President Trump down. He congratulates mueller, saying he did a great job, and he says now its time to move on, govern the country, and get ready to comb combat russia and other foreign actors ahead of 2020. So hes complimenting the president , someone whos just spent several hours with him on the golf course. We want to welcome our viewers here in the United States and around the world. Very important, dramatic developments unfolding right now in the russia investigation. Im wolf blitzer in washington. The Special Counsel, Robert Mueller, has submitted his report to the Justice Department, to the new Attorney General bill barr. Bill barr has just submitted a fourpage, singlespaced letter to congress with a lot of details. His conclusions on what Robert Mueller and his Special Counsel team came up with. Bottom line, he concludes there was no collusion. The president keeps
mueller russia investigation and report into this? context, background. it shows you that president trump was on notice. he basically got warnia warning the mueller investigation. you can t do this. it is not okay to even welcome and encourage as mueller found, foreign election interference and let s remember, robert mueller testified on july 24th, and the next day, the 25th, trump jumps on the phone with zelensky and encourages him to do it again. i think the words were a president unbound. not responsible for the lessons already learned. does it really make the case stronger including the mueller charges when you consider the political risk that is clearly concerning some democrats? in doing that? it wouldn t be an internal debate. my view is that everything ellie said about the president s intent and the president s knowledge can be there even if you don t include charges
president biden s campaign or any other candidate s campaign. that is not what this is about. this is about offering to voters a range of life and leadership experience in all sorts of sectors where i have actually delivered on some of the things that others are talking about and that people need. so two big discussions in the election that i want to ask you about. first, impeachment. there are lot of discussions of course, but on the plate today, impeachment. from what has been laid out by the house so far, do you think that donald trump should be impeached and removed from office? i have not heard you say yet. well i ve said before that this president has committed a whole range of impeachable offenses. we ve heard about them in recent hearings in the house. we heard about them in the mueller report. it s a grave act to remove a
puts something on the b table. we have our own shall we say communication with each other. we re not writing the articles of impeachment here tonight. so there s that. the second big question is can and will this wrap up by the end of the year. meaning the end of the month. joining me now is a democratic congressman of illinois. sits on the house intelligence committee which led the investigation until this week. thank for coming in. let s go through these two questions. do you want to see evidence from the mueller report included in articles of impeachment in addition to ukraine? well, obviously the judiciary committee is going to lead this process and i ll defer to how they structure this to some extent. i think we want to stress maximum clarity within the articles. if you add the mueller report, you have to explain more events.
