The latest news from around the world with hosts John Berman and Poppy Harlow. Or attempt to do either a thing of value from a Foreign National. So arguably, a meeting sought to receive something of value from a Foreign National as a contribution would violate that statute. And then second, title 18, section 371, which is the conspiracy to defraud, the possibility is that the prosecutors could look at this meeting and the events surrounding it and say this was a conspiracy to deprive the federal Election Commission of an honest and fair election. And that violates that title 18 statute. So there are two statutes to answer jays, you know, Rhetorical Question that could apply. But i wanted to add one thing, which is, this is, in fact, poppy, the first, you know, Public Statement by the president about this meeting, as shimon indicates. But my recollection is that in the production of information from the white house to the Special Counsel back in july, they did send a letter
indicating t
excitement and enthusiasm leading up to november. so there is a real impact here. we shouldn t underplay it. but remember, this is a special election, poppy, that is just they re going to serve from now to january. these two guys are running against each other again in november to serve the full two-year term. right. that s a good point. so john kasich, ohio governor, making waves with this interview he did with george stephanopoulos over the weekend. he came out against this border separation policy. he came out against the terrorists, and he came out for fixing social security. on his website i asked him, why are you bringing trump in? he said i don t have anything to do with it. did he really tell you he was surprised president trump was coming and didn t want him to come? i asked him. i said, why did you invite trump in here, the president? and he said no, i didn t. so i think donald trump decides where he wants to go and i think they think they re firing up the base.
