Footsteps trying to follow your lead for how to extract information from this man. We have doubleteamed him, as has the world on this question of where did you get the information . And what strikes me as so interesting today, no reporters have caught up with that.

And thanks for joining us. Ac 360 with anderson starts now. Its like the world gone crazy this morning. Trumps performance was beyond belief. Good evening, everyone. That quote is from a senior european diplomat talking to cnn about the nato summit in brussels and what the president said there today. Now, this diplomat we should point out is not alone. The western allies have been talking about it. The russians vietnam be talking about it. The world, and tonight so will we.

When you look at these specific questions about outreach by the campaign to russia, arent these questions about collusion . Once again, im not going to get into a back and forth about questions leaked or anything having to do with the Special Counsel and i would refer you to the president s attorney.
