Widening as i speak, with new names added on like a traffic lineup in manhattan. Theres still no indication that donald trump is anywhere near to making one of the key decisions of his presidency, who will serve as his chief diplomat. Vice President Elect mike pence ran through some of the top contenders yesterday. I think everyone that hes talked to and has been talked about, whether it be a Rudy Giuliani or mitt romney or General Petraeus or senator corker or john bolten, and others, bring extraordinary background and qualities to this. Nbc news reports that several new names have been added to that list, even if they remain outside contenders. The associated press, meanwhile, is reporting that prospects of Rudy Giuliani and mitt romney, they say, are fading. The new names include jon huntsman, who was critical of trump during the campaign, but who wasnt also reportedly in the mix, ceo of exxonmobil, rex the bulk of the time was with the President Elect, donald trump. I found it an
Nbc nationalist Correspondent Peter joining me now where were expecting the greek Prime Minister to pull up, so well watch that. First of all, all the confusion. We see the president there in the doorway of the portico to the west wing entrance as the car pulls up, and were going to see the greek Prime Minister. Greece, of course, has been in financial turmoil. It has been part of the European Union crisis financially and economically and is also right in the region where migration has been a crisis, peter. So as we see him arriving, there will be an oval office meeting, a quick Photo Opportunity, later another Photo Opportunity in the cabinet room as they have an expanded lunch. Then theres going to be a News Conference. But lets go to the News Conference that you were a big part of yesterday, because this was the president trying to pretend there was no problem with mitch mcconnell, but importantly, youve got new reporting on the whole issue of

Leslie stahl. Shes a cohost of 60 minutes. Also tonight we have new photos that have been uncovered. They show Franken Groping Huffington during a 2000 photo shoot. Here you can see franken grabbing her breath. The second photo shows are behind and shes rushing to her defense saying they were just having fun in that people shouldnt be offended by the photos. The rest of the Mainstream Media wont tell you this, but this kind of gross behavior is part of a pattern when it comes to al franken. Take a look at this photo from 2000. Franken is seen right there inappropriately touching joy behar while they are on the red carpet together. Just like huffington, she shares his politics and is downplaying the photo and defended his actions. Look, ive known arianna for a long time. She and joy behar, if they dont think anything is wrong with that, that is their choice. But from the outside, it looks kind of creepy. Its probably something most

Chris Hayes discusses the days top news. And that may not be the end of it. New york republican Chris Collins was just indicted for Insider Trading and today, in a story we dont have time for tonight, the Second Congress to endorse him, California Republican Duncan Hunter was also indicted for Campaign Finance violations. Noticeably did not mention Michael Cohen by name. I feel badly for both. I must tell you that Paul Manafort is a good man. He was with ronald reagan. He was with a lot of different people over the years and i feel very sad about that. It doesnt involve me, but i still feel, you know, it is a very sad thing that happened. Nothing to do with russian collusion. Had nothing to do with russian collusion. We continue the witch hunt. Thank you very much. Mr. President , what about
months about who should look at the evidence that was seized from Michael Cohen and how should that process go through and a tremendous amount of media attention, Stormy Daniels was in line. It fel

Remarkably, they are not the first felons among the president s circle. The man charged has surrounded himself with criminals. Deputy Campaign Chairman. Campaign Foreign Policy aide, National Security advisor inside the white house. And that may not be the end of it.

and then stuff that directly implicates the president. That is right. The first five counts, that is tax evasion. Just to be clear, i want to hang a lantern on that. He pleaded today to stealing 4 million from the u. S. Government. What would the taxes have been on that 4 million. Yeah. That is what he did. And then you have another count where he says, and he has pled guilty to, where he lied about his liabilities to a ba
