Documents. In spite of what the media told you, its a dud. Going nowhere. And a stunning record new from the fbi launched a secret investigation. It has a name into the Trump Campaign. Only days after they rigged and put the fix in in the clinton email investigation. The New York Times has inadvertently told you everything that weve told you about this regarding the massive abuse of power and corruption. Also tonight, mark meadows and jim desantis are fighting back hard against the doj. Theyre now urging the president to get involved. We need the documents released. Theyre demanding to see it. A lot to cover. Tonights breaking news opening monologue. We start with another stinging setback for the special counsel, Robert Mueller. Rudy guliani is saying tonight that Robert Mueller will not seek a president ial indict. Its obvious why mueller wont even try because as we have been telling you, he never had a legal leg to stand on. Doj guidelines clearly state that a sitting president canno
Or three weeks, we will all just unload on him like a ton of bricks. As we wait to see Sarah Sanders from behind the podium, let me begin this hour with cnn senior political commentator david axelrod, used to serve as Senior Adviser to president obama. A pleasure as always to have you on, sir. Hey there, brooke. What does it look like if they unload on him .

Shimon prokupecz has been following this trial for uincluding being inside there. Shan wu, former federal prosecutor turned defense attorney. He previous served as attorney for manaforts former Business Partner rick gates. Shimon, the final word from the prosecution here, emphasizing that word lies. Yeah. Quite a number of times. And really this is what this case has been about. Tax fraud, frank fraud, lies. Lies on documentings. Lying in emails, lying to accountants. And lying for money. Lying for money. Hiding money. Not wanting to pay taxes. One of the more interesting things and probably perhaps more greater color from this Closing Argument was how the prosecutors treated rick gates.
