donald trump's presidency. because the scandal over donald trump jr.'s russian collusion meeting is not going away. in fact, it's getting a little more crowded. - donald trump jr. claims he didn't know who he would be meeting at the june 9th sit down at trump tower, but he asked the campaign's chairman and a top adviser to be there. - get the [bleep] out of here, man. [laughs] yeah, come on. really? really? so some random person shows up at trump tower, the front desk called up to don jr. and he was like, hello? someone's here to see me? oh, boy. send 'em right up. no, i don't wanna know their name. i love surprises! jared, paul, you gotta come see this! no, i don't know who's in the meeting. let's just do it and be legends. - honestly, my takeaway when all of this was going on is that someone has information on our opponent. you know, things are going a million miles an hour. i wanted to hear 'em out and play it out and see what happens, but, you know, people are trying to reach out to you all the time with this. someone sent me an email. i can't help

trump. immediate, no filter, grammar super optional. in seeing its earth-shaking potential, trump used twitter to communicate only his most important thoughts. thoughts such as "the mar-a-lago club has the best meatloaf in america--tasty." "i have never seen a thin person drinking diet coke." and, of course, "how did you like michelle obama's bangs last night?" with his follower count surging, trump would now harness the power of twitter to fuel his political rise. what started as just asking questions about whether the united states president was born in the united states blossomed into a full-blown run for the white house. and the media awaited each trump tweet like the hungry little bitches they are. - donald trump tonight-- the tweet with his taco bowl... - we got breaking news. donald trump is tweeting something right now. - a twitter tirade. - has he been tweeting again this morning? i just heard. - yes, he has been tweeting again this morning. - i haven't been f-- - i was just told in

president trump: a good afternoon. an important subject happening at a critical time and this is a very different schools and we can really get there. but we have to do it. we don't want to wait two weeks, three weeks, four weeks and people sort of forget and we go on and then have another problem. we want to stop the problems from happening. as we continue to mourn the loss of so many precious young lives in parkland, florida, we're determined to turn our grief into action. i really believe that. i think that the people at this table want it. i mean, i see some folks that don't say nice things about me, and that's okay. because if you turn that into this energy, i'll love you. i don't care. we are going to be able to do it. sadly, these horrible mass shootings are nothing new. i asked for just a list -- i mean you look at columbine, colorado. bill clinton was president. virginia tech, george bush. ft. hood, sandy hook, san bernardino, pulse nightclub and so many more. it's ridiculous. so today we're here on a bipartis

jared kushner, one of donald trump's sons, a meeting which trump himself oversaw. the meeting was illegal and produce nothing. why was illegal and produce nothing. why was he hillary clinton out of the country? what about 0bama? why would she be in the country for such a meeting? and what about the evidence of our season is? the meeting is a nothing burger. —— malfeasance.” have heard this phrase nothing burger before. it is an american expression. it comes down to what we do and do not know. i am willing to go on record. he has nothing relating to russian collusion. i agree with the president. it is a witch—hunt. agree with the president. it is a witch-hunt. it could be about obstruction of justice. witch-hunt. it could be about obstruction ofjustice. now we are going back to the firing ofjames comey. first there was the recount that failed, the recount showed that donald trump one wisconsin and michigan by a larger margin than expected. then they wanted to brief the electoral college on russian collusion. it would have been the shortest briefing of all ti

every story is about attacking trump. at news hits back, organizations and coverage, that extends the news coverage. happens and was true in the campaign, too. he gained hundreds of enemies. even when they were beating up on him, he is dominating the news agenda. that is important, even when you are the president, even when you have that big illegal. -- that big bully pulpit. the russia investigation, he is saying i have been much tougher on russia than obama. look at the facts. talk about twitter and how it has changed the reporting on this president. guest: at 6:00 in the morning, he has already tweeted. i go get a sandwich and get back in the world has changed because he has tweeted. he wants to communicate directly with his people. do i think that sometimes he goes too far, that he should not be giving disparaging that makes -- nicknames to opponents and journalists? he did that with someone on msnbc. sometimes he does it to distract, as i mentioned earlier. but it is not something that will -- kellyanne conway and th

here's trump's response, according to to the "new york times" a russian told phony secrets on trump to the u.s. asking price was $10 million brought down to $1 million to be paid over time. it's all coming out. drain the swamp. >> it all appears if you finish the article that they were trying to do. >> right. so meanwhile the fox is in charge of the hen house. i mean here we are again, another kind of scandalous moment in the trump administration, with, you know, questionable leadership. here's someone, here's donald trump jumping into -- you know, jumping into the fray and started discord, you know, engaging in all kinds of battles, unnecessary battles with the very agency and agencies he should be working with. it's representative of an administration that really is not taking any of this seriously. but that also is giving very little oversight and attention to the real concerns. and instead has decided that this is a political -- you know, there's political capital in turning this into a fight with the very intelligence agencies that are supposed to support, support the white house,

they wanted trump to win. why? and we're back to tim's point, although i would add for conviction under the election laws you don't even need a quo in terms of the quid pro quo you need unlawful interference. gates for manafort is problems for indictment facing manafort. but gates is a guy, as you opened the segment with, transports himself through a very clear continuity of events. when manafort came on in april, gates went with him. when the nra, you were talking about the nra earlier in the broadcast with chris matthews, and when the nra -- when the deputy governor of the russia central bank was looking for an entrance at the nra convention to have dinner with donald trump in may, he settled for second place but rick gates was on the e-mails. at the same time that's happening, george papadopoulos is also sending messages to manafort, who's passing them onto gates about russians want to meet with trump. and papadopoulos at that point knows they have dirt on trump. so there are a series of dots that are going to c

they can't drag it back to trump. frankly, if you look at the 6 to 8 other political consultants operating in the ukraine at the same time. it might be interesting to look at their activities. david: i'm assuming you are talking about john podesta. he was involved in ukraine. >> begala, all these big names have had dealings with ukraine. david: you may see -- my own suspicion is mueller just to prove that he's fair mind or whatever, he's going to throw in an indictment of a democrat. who knows. i don't have inside information on that. >> if you want to focus on the obama administration targeting the trump campaign. i think people should set their sights on lisa monaco. the trump administration homeland security director. she appears in the notes and calendar of andy mccabe in may of 2016. if you note back a couple weeks you remember that the text from page saying that andy mccabe and strzok or her boyfriend, that the white house wanted to know everything they were doing. so you have see this contact in may. then in au

here's donald trump jr. addressing a new question about whether liberals accuse his father of being a "racist." >> all the rappers, all this, all his african-american friends jesse jackson, al sharpton, pictures with them. we say hi. >> there are pictures and it's true reverend sharpton and trump go back a long ways. as promised earlier, here is rev sharpton's new and exclusive response to donald trump jr. >> i met donald trump marching on him about central park. later he tried to turn democrat and came to a few of our conventions. then he went all the way back right with birtherism. we haven't changed. he changed. what he's changed to become is one who has proposed some of the most racist bigoted policies. when he was talking right, we took pictures with him and welcomed to him to our events. when he went left, we stood up for what was right. is he promoting racism. >> two views there of donald trump's history, long history in new york. we wanted to show that to you. that is our show. "hardball" with chris

courts are largely paid to enter trump audience. it may be good business but the problem is there's a whole part of the country who voted for donald trump. many still enthusiastically support this president. and to them not that or do they think their guy is being treated unfairly but they believe with some justification as i write in "media madness" the elite media in washington, new york, l.a. look down on them, view them condescendingly. there's one headline i'll never forget in the left-leaning "huffington post" about four trump was a hate crime. that kind of condescending attitude does undercut the credibility of the media among those who are not within this particular bubble. >> host: howard kurtz our guest, the media buzz host on the fox news channel and also the author of the book "media "a madness: donald trump, the press, and the war over the truth." you want as questioned about the coverage of donald trump by the media you can call. does president trump enjoy a relationship with certain type of concert media who speak fav

trump, including melania trump. no one believes a single trump accuser so no one in trump world is allowed to believe any woman to accuses. that's why donald trump tweeted on saturday peoples lives are being shattered and destroyed by a mere allegation. some are true and some are false. some are old and some are new. there is no recovery for someone falsely accused. life and career are gone. that is the only sympathy donald trump has expressed in the case of accused against violence against a woman. sympathy against the accused. donald trump has help with that tweet because he doesn't use legal phrases like due process and he doesn't know what they mean. donald trump couldn't bring himself to say a word of sympathy to rob porter's former wives and there's no reason to think he feels anything to the victims of violent men. he has never condemned domestic violence. the white house press secretary was asked about that today and she said she was condemning domestic violence and so that's the same thing as donald trump c

trump. >> u.s. officials with direct knowledge told cnn that trump had been warned russia could have information on him. that's the damaging information gathered through surveillance that vladimir putin the believed to collect on powerful people. >> was your concern that the russians could have leverage over the president of the united states? >> yes. >> former intelligence chief, james clapper. >> gaining leverage, that's their objective. if they can compromise somebody, they have a term for it, compromise. >> it was our sense, our strong sense that the nation's senior most intelligence officials would not waste the time of the president and the president-elect if it was easy to dismiss information. it was a remarkable step. >> cnn did not reveal the contents of the dossier beyond what he learned from sources because it had not been verified but shortly after cnn broke the story, buzz feed published the entire dossier on the internet. donald trump was furious. >> it's a disgrace. it didn't happen.

trump campaign press and from the trump white house press corp. watch this very unusual moment in the white house press briefing room in the first week of the trump presidency with hope hicks. you've never seen that happen with sarah huckabee-sanders. in fact, i have never seen social kissing like that in the white house. i've never seen it in the senate. i have never seen it in any professional setting in washington. that was a hope hicks inspired moment. that's the kind of special attention and special treatment that hope hicks is used to. and that's part of why she's been mostly protected up to now in the news media, p even though she is, without question, the most incompetent white house communications director in history. in the new book "fire and fury" steve bannon calls hope hicks, these are his words, dumb as a stone. because hope hicks is incompetent and unprofessional, it became public information that she chose to have an affair with the married trump campaign manager, corey lewandowski during the campaign. that affair burst into public

donald trump jr. went ten years not speaking to his father because of the way his father treated his mother. there is no hint that donald trump was ever troubled by that break in contact with his first set of children with his first wife. he actually bragged about being disinterested in the lives of his children. so it is that man who asked us to believe today that he would have been the super hero of the to stoneman douglas shooting and he would have been doing it for other people's children. before donald trump went into the business of tricking voters to vote for him, he did not pretend to be a super hero. >> i'm not good for medical. in other words if you cut your finger and there's blood pouring out. >> you're gone? >> i'm gone. i'll tell you what happened, i was at mar-a-lago and we had this incredible ball, the red cross ball in palm beach, florida, and you had all these rich people, a man, about 80 years old, a lot of people didn't like him, he fell off the stage. he falls off on his face, hit

donald trump believes that. he believes that line as written in the indictment of the witch hunt today. donald trump loves that line. and the reason we know he loves it so much is because he tweeted it after the indictment was made public. russia started their anti-u.s. campaign in 2014, long before i announced that i would run for president. so now he believes the witch hunt. russia started the anti-u.s. campaign in 2014. now that he believes the witch hunt, maybe he'll start calling it the russia investigation instead of the witch hunt. now that 13 russians, who are not witches, have actually been indicted. we know that's not going to happen. we know that donald trump has an increasingly limited vocabulary and he'll never get the witch hunt thing you on of his head and he'll never stop lying about what robert mueller's investigation is actually about and what it is accomplishing. in a 37-page indictment filed in district court, robert mueller said that 13 russians have conspired since 2014 to violate laws that

two people only, donald trump and donald trump jr. recognizing that was a little weird, the president's lawyers announced months ago that the president planned to set up some kind of mechanism, using his own money to help staffers pay their legal bills, too. ticklish proposition, how do you reconcile the boss, the president, dangling help with your legal bills while you the staffer answer questions to the special prosecutor who's asking questions about your boss. they said the future legal defense would be for witnesses, staffers and campaign workers forced to incur extraordinary legal expenses merely because they were witnesses. it doesn't incur indictees or targets. the fund would cover a broad swath of people but leave out indicted people like rick gates or mike flynn. we got that information from a trump lawyer just before thanksgiving. since then there's been nothing. but today we believe we found the legal defense fund for trump staffers. we believe we have found that it's on its way. this patriot legal defense fund trust looks

>> he's perfect for trump. just like president trump, devin is a transactional politician and i've seen that throughout his career. he has taken a lot of votes that would benefit himself and his future. and the only other policy he really has is to attack democrats. i know some people in washington, d.c. were surprised by this whole thing when it started last year, because representative nunes, his reputation back there for 14 years was a smart guy, a guy that was making the extra teenlg strategic moves to move up in the ranks in the republican party and had his loyalty rewarded. if you knew him back here in the valley, he has been a flame thrower from day one. and, remarkably, i don't know if you remember, chris, but in 2010, complaining about water allotments from the obama administration, he compared the president to robert mcgabe and hussein. >> that's strong. >> fairly strong. >> betsy -- although, in the central valley, that kind of rhetoric goes over well. you've been talking to folks, betsy, on the hill

party after trump? >> guest: it has three future futures. the best case scenario is there is a decisive electoral lesson and at the same time as local electorates reject the attempt to make voting more difficult thathen we are seeing spreading across. the methods are not going to be acceptable and the party then evils to the party of enterprise business we accept the rules of the game and the social insurance state as it was built and within that context not because they are not legitimate because they have a party affairs and so a lot of what democracy is about is you have to do it one way or another that is the most optimistic scenario. it's also possible the party remains in the agenda and the defeat isn't so bad. you mean like voter suppression. there were some people i was in dialogue with does a great spasm and that is and you can't look at the most spectacular most hideous democratic breakdown in all of political history in the most extreme circumstances of hyperinflation and unemployment and fam

whereas trump is just the opposite. he is somebody who has never served the community or anybody but himself. he dodged the draft. he did not take part in the anti-war or civil rights movements in the 1960s. he basically devoted his entire life to pursuing wealth and women. and he has shown scant regard for anybody else. he is a classic american arc type, a scammer, discovscoffer would have been pedaling time shares or penny stocks, somebody a jay gatsby like figure, the wizard of oz kind of classic con man arc type. to my mind donald trump is the worst of america. i find it telling and distressing that the republican party chooses to revere donald trump and revial robert mueller. i think they have their values exactly backwards. >> i want mike to weigh in on this. let's put up the quotes. you mentioned a lot of what you said in your article. both men came from families of wealth and attended leading institutions. mueller felt compelled to serve his country during the vietnam war when most of his classmates were avoidin

where is the line between the trump businesses and the trump white house? >> you know, again, i'm here as a businessman. >> a businessman that hangs with the prime minister? that's kind of weird. we begin today with something we haven't quite seen before in the wake of a mass shooting in this country. the passionate demands for lawmakers to take action on gun control. well, it appears to be gaining momentum. the parkland florida community braces for yet another day of heartbreaking funerals of teenagers. several determined students will head to the state capital in tallahassee to make their voices heard. it's not just the students. many parent, politicians and political donors are joining in the call for lawmakers to act. here's a question. are they going to do it? i remind the nra and juan la pierre, you're welcome to come on tv and join me. i don't know what you're afraid of, seat's open. i have an incredible team here this morning to break down all this news. i want to start with nbc's tammy leitner in parkland. today is another difficult day. three more

so he understands that though there's a trump hotel and a trump tower, there's not a trump fbi or a trump justice department. >> he did that when donald trump was president. and so did dana boente. let's talk about what a lot of people believe is the ultimate goal of this memo, other than to entertain donald trump and fox news, which is part of the goal. but the other part of the goal, reportedly, is to under mine rod rosenstein so that trump can fire him. jeff sessions just a few hours before this memo was released defended rod rosenstein at an event at the doj. let's listen to that. >> rod and rachel are harvard graduates, experienced lawyers. rod has had 27 years in the department, rachel has had a number of years in the department previously. so they both represent the kind of quality and leadership that we want in the department. >> in your view, harry, is rod rosenstein -- is his job in jeopardy tonight? >> how did the president put it? you tell me? look, it was an agenda here, and by the way, as paul says about these fisa warrants, it's all true and who does all this work, it's the

the trump attack hinges on a memo that trump's republican minions on the house intelligence committee voted to release on monday. drafted by staffers working for the chairman of that committee, trump supporter devin nunes, it moves that a trump associate was wrongly surveilled by the justice department and the fbi. but republicans have a bigger goal in mind here. they say it shows corruption in the fbi that is worse than watergate. proving that special counsel robert mueller's investigation is based on a fraud. with reports indicating the president could use this document as a pretext to fire deputy attorney general rod rosenstein who obviously oversees the special counsel's probe, a top democrat says its release could spark a constitutional crisis. well, now in an unprecedented move, the fbi is going public with their objections. and is challenging the very content of the memo itself. today they released a statement saying we have grave concerns about material omissions of fact that fundamentally impact the memo's accuracy. at 5:00 p.m. yesterday, the white house said that there are

trump, jr. this thoughts on the memo. >> pretty incredible. i want people think what if bush had done this to obama? what would be reaction be? i have never seen the made more interested in not having more information in my life because they are all complicit in this. i said it on "hannity" the other night. what's been great about the last year of nonsense i had to go through is the tomorrow collusion that has been uncovered is at the high top of the fbi. we have to make a distinction between the people at the top and the guys on the streets who have to kick in the doors. boots and suits. jesse: they are alleging in the memo that this guy paid for by hillary. a foreign agent created fake dirt about your far it and shopped it to cnn, "the washington post" and the washington times. then took those reports and gave it to the judge to help bolster the credibility of the warrant application. the whole year and a half they must have known this thing was bogus and they were in cahoots with him. they wo
