if donald trump jr. and jared kushner took this meeting innocently, in ignorantly and sort of stepped into it -- it's possible. but mr. manafort? he would have clearly known what the russians were up to. >> two nights before the meeting on june 7th, trump greeted supporters with what now sounds like a curious promise. >> we're going to be discussing all of the things that have taken place with the clintons. i think you're going to find it very informative and very, very interesting. >> we just don't know if the speech that donald trump made is a coincidence or not. and so the timing seems awfully strange. >> for all the attention the trump tower meeting would later get, goldstone says at the time he hardly gave it a second thought. >> i didn't care about the meeting. it sounds bad, but it's true. i didn't care. i wanted my client to be happy. that's always my ultimate goal. >> coming up -- >> so tell us what happened. was the dirt on the democratic party and hillary clinton forthcoming? for powerful clar

this is donald trump's personal bank account. this is what proves to the public cohen was telling the truth at least about this. and how he wanted to cover up alleged contact with women in 2016. again, we'll put it up. you have the signature of then-candidate trump and the date. examine, then-president trump. cohen also supplied a second check, $35,000 also signed by donald trump jr. in the trump org chief financial officer allen weisselberg. >> i was involved in several of these catch and kill episodes. he asked me to pay off an adult film star with whom he had an affair. he was concerned with the effect that it had had on the campaign. he had told me that he had spoken to a couple of friends and it's 130,000. it's not a lot of money. and we should just do it. everything had to go through mr. trump. he knew about everything, yes. >> what did the president ask or suggest that you say about the payments? >> he was not knowledgeable of these reimbursements and he wasn't knowledgeable of my actions to keep him far away from it as po

but like every head of state that donald trump meets, kim jong-un is smarter than donald trump. and he knows that trading his nuclear weapons for beach resorts is not the way for him to stay in power. after a break, foreign policy expert david ruffcoff will join us with his view of what to expect this week in north korea and what to expect this week at the north korean beaches. let's be honest: dealing with your insurance shouldn't be more frustrating than the accident itself. that's why esurance makes it simple. just take some pics.

and donald trump knows what's happening. no one needed to tell theucter party >> and he placed donald trump at the center of the most important discussions happening in the campaign and after the campaign. when you think about the trump tower meeting, he says don trump jr.fe effectively told him abou that meeting. and he said stick to the story. no russia collusion and michael cohen took the hint there. when it comes to wikileaks, he was involved there too. what he did was he put trump at the center of the conspiracy in a way that we cannot deny any longer that trump knew about the collusion aspect of this. >> it's not just collusion. the fact that donald trump, a presidential nominee spent months denying that ruggau was attacking united states when he knew or at least the people knew and maybe ea he did too and even after he was briefed in midaugust that russians were behind these attacks. he went throughout and echoed, bolstered, amplified the russian disinformation that they weren't doing anything. that's the profound act

donald trump and congressman adam schiff going to do as democrats open a new russia probe. schiff, chairman of the house intelligence committee, announcing he will lead a wide-ranging investigation into the president's foreign business relationship and russian election meddling. >> we will not be intimidated or threatened by the president, the american people have a right to know and need to know the president is acting on their behalf and not for another reason. >> the committee voted to hand over several transcripts to robert mueller, donald trump reacting going after shift. >> he is just a political hack who is trying to build a name for himself. that is fine for that is what they do but there's no reason to do this. no other politician has to go through that. it is called residential harassment. >> robert mueller's investigation is thought to be winding down and maybe. and senators expect a report in a month and we expect more with tom fitton of judicial watch. tensions rising on the southern border as a once sleepy texas town faces an influx of thousands of migrants, b

if you like donald trump maybe it won't change the dial on what you think about donald trump. if you hate donald trump it will probably add to your ire but of course the reason is there is that we now have a democratic control house and this is just the start. what cph did yesterday in a very explosive way as you said is an pack his view about the man that he worked alongside —— what cohen said. the democrats are going to take this ina the democrats are going to take this in a whole variety of different directions now. what it was interesting, he was pushed on the issue of pollution and whether there was collusion between the donald trump campaign in russia during the election campaign. he stopped short, didn't he, he said he had no evidence of that. that's interesting because at the moment the robert mueller investigation is beginning to wrap up. so he went quite far, but not perhaps as far as some democrats would want. that is right. imean, he democrats would want. that is right. i mean, he has pointed to the character of donald trump. it was a character of donald trump.

donald trump jr. is at the top of his list. there have been public reporting that indicates he may have contradicted himself. but there's no telling how deep into this list he could be looking. >> go ahead. >> i just want to follow up dropt j donald trump jr. point, people around him have been setting up signals they feel like he's in the clear, after the reporting last week that the phone calls before and after the trump tower meeting to the block numbers weren't his father, weren't the now president but allies of his. i was in washington for the state of the union, at the trump hotel lobby, which we came through a watch party and donald trump was there walking around the lobby, taking pictures and signing autographs. very much feeling confident. >> and roger stone does that as well. >> he does it every day. but projecting the sense of it, but here's the reality, he's not in the clear. >> jared kushner too, when you bring jared kushner into it, it moves beyond russia. you also have china and saudi ar

to report back to donald trump. he said donald trump knew everything going on in the trump organization. how much trouble could the trump organization be in after this testimony. >> sure, it is a fascinating point. when you do an investigation in a racketeering case, you'll have to find links between people because they're not necessarily in the same place at the same time. you try to prove how the boss runs the operation. his testimony is important here. can i go back to one thing, casy, there is cas katie. i want to talk about the phone call that stone placed to donald trump that michael cohen overheard. what prosecutors do is drill in on details. members of congress don't seem to do that quite as much. so was the door open such that they could hear the conversation. is there phone calls to donald trump. did roger stone send any e-mails to friends after his conversation with trump. did donald trump or cohen mention that conversation to other people. did other people walk into the room at the end of the conversatio

this is where the us president, donald trump, and north korean leader kimjong—un the us president, donald trump, and north korean leader kim jong—un will be having their working lunch, a crucial final day of talks in vietnam, and we understand they will focus on the issue of nuclear disarmament on the korean peninsular. we will bring you further updates throughout the day here on bbc news. stay with us. hello there. wednesday marked the end of this balmy, warm spell for february, which has brought record—breaking temperatures. and we return to something cooler and fresher, something more typical for this time of year, with outbreaks of rain, strong winds at times, particularly this weekend. areas of low pressure gathering out at the atlantic will hurtle towards our shores towards the end of the week, dragging in the cooler air from the north atlantic right across our shores. now, first of a series of weather fronts will be arriving across western parts of the country this morning, bringing more cloud and outbreaks of rain. so the north and east of the uk starting off dry with a bit of

of donald trump. it's to make directives like that and i think we will probably find that that may be what motivated michael cohen to lie to congress. >> harry litman, let me ask you about that. this pattern of lying is something that in donald trump's mind, he described in an interview sunday to cbs. even with the definition of a crime is seems to be lost on the chief executive of the country, the person who sits atop the federal law enforcement bureaucracy. >> yeah, i mean, from a policy standpoint, in some ways, it's the most abiding and really troubling aspect of the whole presidency. he wakes up lying and lies all day and seems to think nothing of it. but as a federal criminal matter, a matter for congress to investigate, it's serious stuff. the same thing that we had in iran contra or watergate, et cetera. it's throwing sand in the gears of vital investigations and keeping people from knowing the truth. usually to serve yourself. and it often involves conspiracy, for instance, the hope hicks sto

otherwise he gives donald trump something to talk about at the state of the union next week and donald trump can continue to be hypocritical because ironically it was charlottesville that helped elect ralph northam, that extreme racist behavior that donald trump defended. donald trump should resign from that -- for that. there may be democrats who say, well, that's a double standard. if donald trump can get away with it, if steve king can get away with it, why can't ralph northam? well, you have to take the moral high ground. ralph northam and the democratic party can take the moral high ground by him resigning. true contrition for blackface, it also goes to competency. let me say this quickly. he knew this was in his yearbook. why would you put yourself up for office without dealing with that directly on the front end? that goes to competence. i'd love to know other people involved in helping him convince him or convince themselves this would never be found. he was vulnerable. you're talking about kompromat, his enemies in virginia, let's be honest, the people who found this were invi

hello donald trump's former personal lawyer michael cohen has spoken candidly to congress about what his job entailed in his testimony he called trump or racists and spoke at length about his suspicions over his former boss his connections to russia before and during the twenty sixteen election campaign cohen also apologized for some of his behavior while in trump's employment i am ashamed that i chose to take part in concealing mr trump. rather than listening to my own conscience i am ashamed because i know what mr trump is. he is a racist he is a con man and he used to cheat. he was the presidential candidate who knew that roger stone was talking with julia songe about a week you'll each draw on democratic national committee e-mails let's speak to steve clemons he's the washington editor of laura's for the atlantic is joining us from washington d.c. thanks for speaking to us so that congressional hearing still going on from what you've heard so far steve clemons what's the most damaging what's the most explosive well right now the most damaging thing in this nailbiting hearing we h

donald trump says border wall negotiations are a waste of time. he is vowing he will get the wall finished and he said wait and see whether he will declare a national emergency. trace gallagher following the latest news from the president. good evening. >> the oval office interview with the new york times, the president said he has given up on negotiations with congress over the border wall indicating when talks officially end in two weeks he could take action on his own meaning and executive order. the president also took a swipe at the house speaker who said today there would be no money for the wall. use the president. >> nancy pelosi is hurting our country badly by doing what she is doing and ultimately i think i have set the table. >> the president is highlighting the need for more border security in the wake of news about the biggest sentinel trust in us history that happened saturday at the point of entry. a tractor-trailer filled with produce also had a hidden print apartment containing 254 pounds of fentanyl with a street value of 31/$2 m

this is not a vote whether you're for or against donald trump or even donald trump's policies. this really is a matter of upholding your oath of office. this is about protecting the article i powers, the concept of checks and balances. the constitution's explicit granting of the power of the purse to the house of representatives, which is fundamental to congressional power. so i'm hoping that there is more than a handful of republicans who are going to stand up and say, look, this is about the constitution. this is about the prerogatives of this institution, the people's house, now just simply blue and red. so i do think this is going to be a define vote, maybe one of the defining votes of this congress for republicans, and this is a red line and we're going to see whether or not, you know, they're willing to stand up for their oath of office and against donald trump. >> you know, jennifer rubin, i saw you smiling. i'm not going to interpret your smile for you, but, you know, there's a lot of doubt out there that republicans are going to do that. adam schiff wrote a letter sort

donald trump has denied. donald trump junior has denied his father knew about it before and after. they've said that pretty clearly. but that's all we're really going off of, their denials. the question is did he have any other conversations around the meeting, before, or after. that we just don't know yet. we probably have to wait for the mueller report to find that out ultimately. those conversations certainly still of interest for house democrats as they investigate this going forward and we'll see what the mueller team finds out as well. >> manu, thank you. i want to go to gerry connolly. congressman, what's your reaction to this reporting? there's been a lot of focus on those blocked calls and who they were to, whether they were to the president. we have now learned they were not. >> well, you know, an investigation is an attempt to get at facts that get at the truth. we have unrelated facts. we have facts that may be connected. we have facts that don't have some other answers to them. one of the unanswered questions up until now was who did you make these phone calls to. migh

everyone not named donald trump. and just about nrch who's never attended a trump rally knows we have for decades had medicines that work wonders with aids. in one of his biggest swerves off the rails last night, donald trump became the first president ever to come out in opposition to dogs. >> by the way, there is nothing better than a good old-fashioned german shepherd. it's hard to believe. >> no, it's not hard to believe. for the 60 million american households who have a dog. almost half of america has a dog and a big majority of america, 68% have some kind of household pet, but donald trump doesn't understand why anyone would ever share a home with a dog. judging by his tweets, dogs are the worst things in the world. he compares people to dogs in the worst way. in tweets he has said, people have choked like a dog. then dumped like a dog. and been fired like a dog. and so, i guess we shouldn't have been surprised when the president went off the rails about dogs last night. >> german shepherd. certain types of dog

what we're looking at is two guys who have had longtime relationships with donald trump, as much as donald trump likes to say that manafort wasn't all that involved in the campaign. both separately having conversations with people about information that could be detrimental to hillary clinton's campaign or ultimately helpful to donald trump's campaign. who puts that all together? >> well, we're widely expecting that mueller will put this together in a report for us. we don't know that. he hasn't confirmed that. he's been famously close-mouthed here. we do know now that we've got adam schiff, jerry nadler and others in the house who are beginning to put the pieces together themselves. whatever mueller does not give them, is not able to give them, they're going to be working to assemble into i think what will be by the end of this year a very coherent story that i think will be quite -- quite conclusive as to what was going on in this campaign. >> nelson, thank you for joining us tonight. nelson cunningham. jennifer rubin, stay with us. >>> coming up, a veteran republican steps forward to ch

donald trump right now. donald trump is hanoi and can't do anything about it. i imagine he's crawling up the walls. this is the power of television right now. we've had two years of print reports and legal filings and chatter among folks like us what all this means and we follow it in a very granular level. but i think the larger points of some of this gets lost on a lot of people. i think what you're seeing now with michael cohen testifying on television under oath before well informed people is the first sort of coming home of the trump scandals into people's living rooms. i think that's a big sea change in all of this. >> eddie, we keep hearing from the president and his allies. they going after cohen, his character, calling him a rat. even some of his congressional allies are suggesting that michael cohen's wife is going to step out on him while he's in prison. what do you make of all this that's going on? i'm not sure why that's a relevant subject. >> it's not surprising they would go after his character, after all cohen did lie before congress. this is wh

cohen was an extension of donald trump's id, an enabler of donald trump's most primal demands. cohen's resume with trump included covering up sex with porn stars, rigging political polls and inflating trump's wealth. only the truly unscrupulous will be quick to dismiss cohen's testimony this week as lies while he did lie to congress, it's an open question whether he's the architect of those lies, or whether he was acting at the direction of others. and as to whether he's to be believed now. today, the only tool cohen has at his disposal to lessen his sentence is telling the truth, and it's worth noting that federal prosecutors now agree with and have somehow corroborated cohen's assertion that it was donald trump who directed that illegal hush money operation. and we don't know what we don't know in terms of what else they've been able to corroborate on the other threads of the multiple investigations into the president that cohen has assisted with. and that is where we start today with some of our favorite reporters and friends. at the table, donny deutsch, "washington post" c

and donald trump blinked. he got scared. of his base and of the menacing tweets from people like ann coulter and he went ahead and shut the government down. are we sure that won't happen again? >> no, we cannot be sure and it feels a little bit like deja vu from the week in december, there seemed to be a deal in the offing. there was a sharp backlash on the president's right from the likes of ann coulter, sean hannity, congressman mark meadows and the president blinked and led the country into this shutdown. that could potentially be happening again here, but there's one difference and it's that the white house has prepared a series of executive actions for the president to take at his direction. whenever he's ready. that would trigger sort of an ability for his to use his executive ability to transfer existing federal funds toward construction of the wall, bypassing congress. so what you could see happen is he reluctantly signs this deal assuming it passes the congress this week and that would avert the shutdown and fund th

donald trump himself that is. that is donald trump signature so let me make sure i understand donald trump wrote you a check out of his personal account while he was serving as president of the united states of america to reimburse you for hush money payments to miss clifford is that what you are telling the american people today yes mr chairman one final question the president claimed he knew nothing about the spade mintz is ethics following said he owed nothing to you based on your conversations with him is there any doubt in your mind the president from knew exactly what he was paying for there is no doubt in my mind and i truly believe there is no doubt in the minds of the people of the united states of america and these view documents are to be robbery what you just told us with that i yield to. i will make sure that you and i meet one day while we are in the courthouse and i will take your every penny you still don't have and i will come after your daily beast and everybody else that you possibly know so i'm

it may not fit as much pore donald tru -- for donald trump. i know a lot of trump supporters have amnesia but donald trump was a huge fan of hillary clinton. not only did they go to weddings together, they went to donald and melania's wedding. he was a big contributor to hillary clinton, he was a big contributor to the dnc. he said she was a great secretary of state, she'd make a great president of the united states. donald trump loved hillary clinton but more than that he really loved hillary clinton. he started talking about birtherism, he could win the republican nomination and thought he could run, it would be really good for his brand. of course the worst thing happened and he ended up winning and it's been devastating for his brand. who knows, maybe all of his properties will be seized by the time robert mueller's done with him. it been a hell of a ride, though, hasn't it? if you were looking at donald trump's speech last night, it had all the worst elements there, donald trump attacking press freedoms, donald trump whipping his crowd in

they aren't real policies donald trump cares about. he's doing it to demonstrate to ann coulter that he has these beliefs. the panel will join us throughout the show. natasha, enjoy your sunday. coming up, elizabeth warren has been in the race for fewer than 24 hours and the backlash is in full effect. that's next. backlash is in full effect. that's next. to be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing it's best to make you everybody else... ♪ ♪ means to fight the hardest battle, which any human being can fight and never stop. does this sound dismal? it isn't. ♪ ♪ it's the most wonderful life on earth. ♪ ♪ when i walked through a snowthat's when i knewtte, it's i had to quit. wonderful life on earth. for real this time. that's why i'm using nicorette. only nicorette gum has patented dual-coated technology for great taste. plus intense craving relief. every great why, needs a great how. does your customers connecting to the wifi ever slow down your business? yes, it does slow things down. aggravating. it's a nightmare. s

that donald trump wasn't -- that donald trump was a racist. and congressman meadows was trying to make the claim he wasn't, simply by pointing to black people. that's just -- we're at a point in 2019 that can't be -- can't stand any longer. >> then chairman cummings is put in the middle of it. he's trying to tamp down the tension. surprised a lot of people, frankly, who don't work on capitol hill, talking about his friendship with mark meadows. they spent time back and forth talking about that. i wonder what your take is on what happened yesterday? >> well, look, eddie's right. pointing out that you have a black friend or black relatives does not prove you're not a racist or have racial bias. but i thought elijah cummings did himself a big favor yesterday. he came between the two members. he de-escalated the situation very skillfully. he didn't seem to take a side. casting aspersions on another member in the committee is against the rules. that could have been the fight. he managed today get her to say no, i'm not directly calling him a racist

. >> donald trump jr. called cohen a liar today. this is what cohen said about him. >> donald trump jr. came into the room and walked behind his father's desk which in of itself was unusual. people didn't just walk behind mr. trump's desk to talk to hem. i recall don jr. leaning over to his father and speaking in a low voice, which i could clearly hear and saying, "the meeting is all set," i remember mr. trump saying okay, good, let me know. mr. trump had frequently told me and others that his son don jr. had the worse judgment of any one in the world. also that jodon jr. would never set up any meetings alone. >> don retweeted dozens of tweets disputing what michael cohen had to say. >> this is reporting back in the early days of the administration, suggests that cohen did want to work in the white house. but, donald trump jr.'s defense on everything else, so fierce that it had been offense. it would be believable had he not lie about the trump tower meeting. trump says it was about adopt n adoptio adoptio

written books about the business of donald trump. he won a pulitzer prize. he is now a founder of dc.org, and most recently, "it's worse than you think: what the trump organization is doing to america." he was unnecessarily sued by trump for writing that book and he is now an executive and analyst of bloomberg. he is being investigated for wire fraud, false statements, crimes of fraud and money laundering. who could have seen this coming? >> it's taken a long time to get there. since we found out, lawrence, they had raised $107 million, i've been calling for a criminal audit. there is no indication they spent even a quarter that much money on the really minimal sort of inaugural celebration that they had. who put the money in? where did it go? and we really need answers. i think it's very important to the public that we learn that these subpoenas are out there, and i'm sure there will now be a fine-tooth comb run over the books to find out where the money came in and who it went to and why. >> and, tim, not surprisingly, one of the c

michael cohen said that donald trump was aware of it and donald trump was aware of it and donald trump was aware of it and donald trump himself wrote a cheque in connection with this. so it's very clear he was part of it. the prosecutors thus far have only indicted, obtained a guilty plea, from michael cohen but this was a conspiracy involving several people including almost certainly the president of the united states. richard painter, thank you. thank you. cannabis has become a multi—million dollar industry in canada, following the country's decision to legalise the sale of the drug for recreational use last year. marijuana—infused food and drink are currently prohibited but their ban could soon be lifted. so, as caroline rigby has been finding out, some within the industry have turned their attention to developing cannabis—cuisine. at first glance it may look like nothing out of the ordinary, but look closer — from sweets that get you stoned to marijuana meals, cannabis queue seen looks set to be big business in canada. experts at this food industry event in toronto suggest

donald trump knew nothing about the payment. you have the document. you have the fact of the payment. you have common sense. why would you pay the money without consulting with your client, and then the lies. in some ways the nail in the coffin is put all the other things out of your mind. why the lies? lie after lie after lie if you concorroborate it. it's not a good place for the president. >> cohen described times where there was no explicit direction from president trump but he felt he knew what the president wanted based on a sort of code that he understood over the decade or so that he worked for donald trump. how revealing was that to you? >> that's another example of what some people are growing tired of saying, and the first time it was said seemed shocking to say about the president of the united states and the people who he's assembled around him. it's the kind of thing you see in mob cases. it's the kind of thing you see in environments in which people do bad things but they don't want to be on the hook and on the re

he knew donald j. trump before he game president, all the other members of congress have known him since. the most extraordinary thing about this is how extraordinary it was for michael cohen to be saying all of this. he has adored president trump. he has wanted his approval for all these years. and it was sad in a way and pathetic in another way, i think. but he was -- he was in many respects responsible for him running for president the first time back in 2011. >> and he was sticking to that. when they were trying to scoff at him, oh, you're responsible. >> but michael cohen knew what he was talking about. he did put those polls in front of him. so these guys are new friends of the president. but i think overall what i was struck by in this was the republicans were not interested in anything other than discrediting him, which michael cohen, he is a lying. he said i have lied. but yesterday i thought he was pretty credible except the point where he said he did not want to work in the white house. it w

donald trump jr. discussed sanctions with the russian agent in a roomful of russians promising dirt on hillary clinton. later lied about it and got a bunch of white house aides to lie about it as well, saying it was about adoptions. lying in august, paul manafort discussed policy with the russian operatives that we're talking about today. constanti konstantin kilimnik and others, lied about it to mueller. these meetings are all about those lies. december 2016 flynn, who had every right, every right as a national incoming security adviser to talk about sanctions policy did so and then lied about it. what does that look like to investigators, harry? >> right, to a prosecutor what really gets their antenna buzzing out of control is, first, this point that carol and ken have teased out and really meticulous reporting, by the way. they have this manuscript and they read it so carefully for key points. and then the attempts to hide a rich, little detail that would get prosecutors totally focused, gates, kil

books about the business of donald trump. he won a pulitzer prize. he is now a founder of dc.org, and most recently, "it's worse than you think: what the trump organization is doing to america." he was unnecessarily sued by trump for writing that book and he is now an executive and analyst of bloomberg. he is being investigated for wire fraud, false statements, crimes of fraud and money laundering. who could have seen this coming? >> it's taken a long time to get there. since we found out, lawrence, they had raised $107 million, i've been calling for a criminal audit. there is no indication they spent even a quarter that much money on the really minimal sort of inaugural celebration that they had. who put the money in? where did it go? and we really need answers. i think it's very important to the public that we learn that these subpoenas are out there, and i'm sure there will now be a fine-tooth comb run over the books to find out where the money came in and who it went to and why. >> and, tim, not surprisingly, one of the c

y que se ofreciÓ grabar clandestinamente a donald trump. el entonces liderazgo del fbi sospecho que donald trump podrÍa estar trabajando para rusia. el despido del exdirector y el comentario de que ese despido le quitÓ mucha presiÓn y que donald trump vinculÓ en una entrevista despertaron las sospechas. los demÓcratas con su reciÉn estrenada mayorÍa la cÁmara baja insisten en que investigarÁn a fondo todo lo relacionado a rusiagate y dijeron que estas declaraciones serÁn parte de estas declaraciones. pero los demÓcratas afirman que el fiscal general de rusia gate podrÍa no haber revelado las mejores evidencias en el caso todavÍa. >> estamos viendo corroboraciÓn de cosas que podrÍan fÁcilmente interpretarsecomo obstrucciÓn de justicia. aÑadiÓ que donald trump les dijo que no creÍa que corea del norte tiene la capacidad para enviar un misil nuclear hasta estados unidos. al responder que la evidencia sugerÍa que sí, donald trump dijo que putin le dijo que no y que le creÍa a Él. aranza: la decisiÓn de los jueces se deb

this isn't anything new, donald trump isn't doing anything new, donald trump -- president obama issued similar executive actions. the challenge is the president setting from obama and trump and moving forward which over the next administration is, how willingly they do these things from climate change to any other issue. >> you make a point because the president said many other national emergency 7 declared, many still in effect right now, several previous presidents, not that it is unique but npr's headline many presidents of declared emergencies but not like trump has. they want to differentiate, 3 quarters of the time presidents use their emergency power to impose economic sanctions on foreign parties, the declarations follow terrorist attacks or natural disasters. critics say trump's declaration is categorically different in that the president is using his power to push a border wall far more bigger and expensive than congress is going to pay for and quote the california attorney general saying this is not 9/11 or the iran hostage crisis of 1979. >> trump is right, this will get ha

>> donald j. trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of muslims entering the united states. until our country's representatives can figure out what the hell is going on. >> here is more from the president's teleprompter today. >> my administration is also speaking out against religious persecution around the world. including against religious minorities, christians and the jewish community. [ applause ] >> really? >> donald j. trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of muslims entering the united states until our country's representatives can figure out what the hell is going on. >> the president created some controversy today when he said this -- >> since the founding of our nation, maybe of our greatest strides from gaining our independence to abolition of civil rights, to extending the vote for women have been led by people of faith and started in pray prayer. >> twitter lit up with people saying abolition of civil rights? the white house later released a transcript of the

>> donald j. trump. >> that part of the sentencing memo that the republicans did not read continues. with respect to both payments, cohen acted with the intent to influence the 2016 presidential election. cohen coordinated his actions with one or more members of the campaign, including through meetings and phone calls about the fact, nature and timing of the payments, in particular and as cohen himself as now admitted with respect to both payments, he acted in coordination with and at the direction of individual one. and so the federal prosecutors in new york who the republicans repeatedly quoted today as if they were quoting the bible are the very same prosecutors who in the very same memo say that the president of the united states committed crimes with michael cohen and that those crimes were committed at the direction of donald trump. donald trump was the boss of the criminal enterprise described by the federal prosecutors who the republicans quoted today, but were very careful to never quote

the headlines: a series of bombshell claims from donald trump isa of bombshell claims from donald trump is a former picks up. michael cohen tells congress is ashamed of the ten years working for mr trump. he isa the ten years working for mr trump. he is a racist. he is a conman. and he isa he is a racist. he is a conman. and he is a cheat. under oath he testified that donald trump new his opponent ‘s e—mails were being hacked. he then produced the cheque that he said was used to pay off the porn star stormy daniels. president of the united states thus wrote a personal cheque for the payment of hush money as part of a criminal scheme to violate campaign finance. iam sharanjit scheme to violate campaign finance. i am sharanjit leyl in hanoi, which is where president trump is right now for his second summit with a leader of north korea. president trump osmo promising north korea a bright future if he and kim jong—un can reach a deal ——is promising. and after every formal dinner on wednesday, the main business of the summit gets under way in a few hours time. and tensions over the

it is also the people that surround donald trump. that donald trump has surrounded himself with. you spoke of the person that mr. hassan was writing to, err he was a notorious white nationalist that wanted a white ethno state in the northwest. i bring it up swauz there are gentlemen that are involved that are connected to folks like roger stone. and when you start talking about getting that close, with this kind of rhetoric, and this kind of hate mongering, we have ourselves a problem that we need to address. >> and you had steve bannon hired by donald trump to run his campaign and alt-right is a term that richard spencer invented because it means white nationalism. >> and he had a friend when he was at duke university, as a grad student, his name stephen miller, and we swree that comes o -- where that comes from. >> donald trump constantly attacks federal law enforcement anyway, they're not exactly getting support from the top, and now you have a sense that these people even if donald trump doesn't mean to have it sound that way, they feel they have access. what is law enforceme

us president donald trump is used to the limelight. vietnam's leaders less so but trump's summit with north korea's leader kim jong il has changed all that before his first meeting with kim on wednesday he met the host of this summit the country's prime minister and president on behalf of the united states i want to thank you very much for hosting and hopefully great things will happen later on with our meeting like north korea vietnam was once an enemy of the united states yet in spite of the history the relationship is now good with vietnam regarded as a strategic partner of the u.s. in asia. but it's trump's relationship with kim that's now the priority the hanoi summit to build on a historic meeting in singapore in june where they made of a commitment to rid the korean peninsula of some of the most powerful weapons created this time they need to agree a framework for how that'll happen vietnam was an acceptable choice to kim for this summit it's one of the few countries with the north korean embassy which came visited on tuesday ni

otherwise he gives donald trump something to talk about at the state of the union next week, and donald trump can continue to be hypocritical because, ironically, it was charlottesville that helped elect ralph northam, that extreme racist behavior that donald trump defended. donald trump should resign from that, for that. there may be democrats that say, well, it is a double standard, if donald trump can get away with it, if steve king can get away with it, why can't ralph northam. you have to take the moral high ground, and ralph northam and the democratic party can take the moral high ground by him resigning. true contrition for black face -- it also goes to competence. let me say this quickly. he knew it was in his yearbook. why would you put yourself up for office without dealing with that directly on the front end? that goes to competence. i would love to know other people involved in helping him convince him or convince themselves this never would be found. he was vulnerable. you talk about compromised. the people who found this weren't virtuous. they are fighting against him beca

>> donald trump jr. and ivanka trump. >> okay, were these in the regular course of business or did the president or family request the briefings. >> this is in the regular course of business. >> do you recall a question on the number of briefings. do you recall how many there might have been? >> i'm sorry, sir. >> do you recall how many briefings there might have been in. >> approximately ten in total. >> all right. ten in total. that is -- well, let's be honest, that is a complete contradiction of what ivanka trump said she knew literally almost nothing about the project and don jr. who told congress that he was only peripherally aware of it and neither of those go with ten briefings and you went on until the president took office. up front now john dean who came up several times due to comments on his program and evan perez and from april ryan and barrett burger, former assistant u.s. attorney for the southern district of new york harry sandic and author "of the making of donald trump" david k. johnson

donald trump. no one questioned the evidence. no one questioned the testimony as it pertained to donald trump. they weren't acting like the kinds of surrogates of the president who felt the president had facts on his side, were they? >> not only were they not surrogates for the president, they actually damaged him. every time they went of cohen and berated him for lying and talked about his conduct, they were implicitly also noting individual one was equally guilty for those crimes. it was frankly a kairos strategy. i would not want any of them on my side as a surrogate. >> i would ask there were no questions around russia. we have a foreign interaction in our democracy to throw an election and there's no curiosity about it. that in itself should be alarming. >> speaking of idiotic, when meadows screaming with the document, when it comes back after break, you will see cohen was right, it's about barring government entities. here you have a congressman raging on a bully pulpit and he's dead wrong. >

he lied for donald trump. so now that he is no longer linked to donald trump like that, looking for that allegiance to donald trump, you can take him at his word. i wonder what you think about that or if you had a client or witness who had these credibility issues. >> he is a convicted liar, but that being said, the motive to lie is gone. in fact, he has every reason to be completely truthful because he can get in more trouble if he's caught in more lies. i see no reason why he would obfisca obfiscate, hold back or otherwise lie about anything he is asked. so no, i think that for what it's worth, what we hear from him is probably the best we're going to get from him. >> can i add bun thione thing. this is the pot calling the kettle black here. this is a little known fact about telling the truth. sarah sanders said you can't believe michael cohen because he's a liar, but how many times have we documented the president of the united states hasn't told the truth? >> put very lightly. >> over a thousand, according

, as donald trump said. no, listen, he's always, as we've said, he's always encouraged this, he's always celebrated this. he is not shocked by this. apparently his silence shows this is exactly what he wants. >> yeah. and kristin, i think it used to be easier to poll people's beliefs, what they support and don't support, but this president has put the truth on the line. and i wonder at this point what we would see if we took a look at exactly what people believed to be when it comes to the press or this presidency. >> well, we know that voters and not just conservative voters do have serious reservations about whether they think they can trust the media, that those numbers have been declining over the course of the last decade, but there's a really big difference between saying, you know, i don't know that i can trust everything i see in the news and i'm going to go google search to try to figure out how i can cause physical harm to reporters. there's a huge leap there. there are always crazy individuals out
