welcome, everyone, to "weekends comcast business. beyond fast. with alex witt." what the team has learned about the redacted mueller report and what they fear the most. >> we consider this to be case closed. >> we should see and judge for ourselves. >> new challenges to the president's proposal to send migrants to sanctuary cities. is president trump taking some americans for a ride? why many don't realize his policies are hurting them. plus something completely different. mystery solved. the video that confirms the status of juliana sau aassange'. the redacted mueller report could be out as soon as tuesday. sarah sanders said she's not how to respond to the concerned what's in the report. request for the mueller report both legally and politically. g >> they couldn't make a determination which is mueller's sarah sanders echoing the way legally of saying, we can't find anything.

president's unsupported claim we're going to leave that up to that there is nothing damaging the process which is the in the mueller report. attorney general. >> there was no collusion, there he has made a decision, so we was no obstruction, which i consider this to be case closed. there was no collusion, there was no obstruction, which i don't know how you can interpret that any other way than total don't know how you can interpret that any other way than total exoneration. i think it is absolutely absurd that democrats are going to exoneration. >> joining me now, democratic continue to push this false representative from illinois, narrative that there was somehow congressman mike quigley on the wrongdoing on behalf of the house intel committee. president. good to see you. i'm curious your reaction of >> meanwhile, democrats what you just heard from the asserting there is a trove of press secretary. i'm assuming you don't really information that the public agree with everything she had to could learn about the say in terms of that conclusive wording. president's behavior, findings >> look, she knows as well as we do what the public record is and that would be critical surrounding the president and his inner circle. the extraordinary extent of >> i hope it tells us collusion that took place and the extraordinary extent of information more than we have obstruction that took place. today about russia's tactics of trying to influence our election so that we can protect ourselves i believe the special counsel is the person who follows the against future attacks from rules. russia, tells us exactly how the and i believe he set a very high president and his campaign were involved in this so we can draw bar. our own conclusions aon how the criminals' conspiracies are very difficult to prove, and he felt given the historical qualities investigation was done. of this, he couldn't make a >> now a news reporter from abc decision. but the fact that he would not news reports that the white exonerate given that high house has been broadly briefed

about that, quote, logistics and bartels us there must be timing of the release of the significant information in his mueller report. abc is also reporting the white report involving obstruction. >> so what's your expectation house will not claim executive privilege to try to get any for what's going to be revealed? further redactions. granted, it's redacted, but what this reporter is also saying do you expect? >> as little as they possibly what worries the white house the can. the attorney general was hired very most is what this man told principally to do three things: the special counsel, fo. exonerate the president regardless of what's in the former white house counsel don mcgahn was interviewed by report, number two, give as mueller for more than 30 hours into the heart of the little of the report out as investigation of whether or not possible, especially to the public and particularly to the president obstructed justice. congress, and finally, third, to that point the report suggests that the white house is concerned whether the report apparently to involve himself in will have new information on how much the president tried to fire conspiracy theories. robert mueller or at least talk i don't know exactly what we're about it. let's begin at the white going to see. i suspect they'll try to house where officials are bracing for the release of the minimize it as much as possible. mueller report. let's go to nbc's hans nichols i remind them that my committee gets classified, sensitive, top who is joining us now. what are you hearing, hans, secret information every week about the white house, the and we handle it appropriately. preparation and anticipation of the release of this report, the >> would that mean, though, that you don't expect there to be redacted sense, that is. something, again, in the >> yeah. >> and can you confirm whether redacted report that would jolt white house officials may have the president and the white

been briefed at least on what's house? >> it's not going to make the president look good. coming logisticswise or what may i don't think the public record be in part of the content of the makes him look good. they're talking about total exoneration when three of the people closest to the president report? are in jail or are going to >> reporter: right now the white house is not saying they have jail. and the fact that there are any inkling of what's in the multiple ongoing criminal report or the actual content. investigations, and again, what the white house is numerous accounts of obstruction reporting is the contents of the and collusion, really, in a report has been conveyed to the sense, conspiracy. the fact is special counsel just couldn't get to the point where counselor's office and the fact he thought he could meet the burden beyond a reasonable there won't be anything doubt. that is not at all to say that indicative by the president. there wasn't crimes taking we heard from william barr last place. >> let's get to congressman eric week in testimony that he will be given no indication that the president will invoke any sort of investigative privilege. wal swe so if the white house does know swalwell's reaction after he was about the timing of this, that pressed that the president takes orders from vladimir putin. may give them a little bit of a here it is. >> i look at the evidence and i heads up. what is clear is politically see that this person's family met with the russians who they have long had a strategy on this, and that is to question offered dirt on hillary clinton. he was in a room where roger stone called him and said that the or engines of tigins of thed wikileaks was acting on his claim vindication when the full behalf and releasing more dirt. report is out. he stood on a stage and told the sarah sanders talked about this press, russia, if you're

in terms of the 2016 election. listening, keep hacking. >> once they get the report and and every time he was confronted about it, he lied and lied and they see what the summary has already laid out, that there was lied. >> do you agree with him? no collusion, there is no >> absolutely. he only had so much time to talk obstruction, it's time to move on. they don't get a second chance about this. let's look at the bigger at trying to reinvestigate the picture, the historical picture president. of this candidate and then this we consider this to be case president. closed. using president putin's talking >> reporter: alex, i think we points from the beginning of the can expect this week more talk of investigating how this whole investigation started. campaign. the historical quality of it is you heard that last week with the architect of the new world william barr hinting about spying, you heard about that order created after the second from white house officials world war is the one attacking talking about maybe calling, and that new world order. you've heard lindsey graham very and all the liberal democratic clearly talking about a special counsel for the origins of this entities belonging to the west. report. it seems like we could have an nato, the eu, the united argument about the report or an argument about how the report nations. it's extraordinary. actually started to report, and and we now know, of course, that that's the conversation the the president lied about the white house wants to have. fact that he continued pursuing but like a lot of people here, a deal with the russians where he needed their help or he would we just have to wait and see. >> impatiently, i might add. thank you so much, hans nichols, be enriched to move forward with from the white house. trump tower moscow. author of the power up so part of my interest in this newsletter from the "washington report is where are the gaps.

post," peter baker with the "new was the special counsel focused on money laundering and whether or not the president was compromised? that's fair game for us to york times," and writer ativanty investigate further. >> let's take a look at attorney general barr's spy claim. fair. do you have a sense if and when the white house has been briefed about this report? we had congressman nadler do they know even broadly about what might be in the report? earlier offering his thoughts on the prospect. here it is. is it at all fair to assume that >> the attorney general, when he they could have an inkling of started talking completely without evidence, as he said, when and how the redacted report gets released? about spying on the trump >> i think it's fair to assume that they do. attorney general barr was asked that last week during his campaign, when what he meant was testimony, and like previous occasions, he wouldn't say if he executing judicially ordered had or had not briefed the white warrants, it showed his bias and house. why wouldn't you say it last the fact that he's really acting week when you had said before that you had not. that seems to be an indication as a personal agent to the that his justice department has, president rather than the in fact, provided some attorney general of the united states in this matter. understanding of that to the >> but congressman, quickly, counsel's office, as you noted isn't it possible that the abc's report telling us. attorney general is independently minded, a public and that wouldn't necessarily be servant, and he just knows more surprising. and you see increasingly in the about the situation than anyone else? president's tweets and his is it really fair to just jump public statements, you know, to the conclusion that he's no sort of a change in his tone. longer an impartial person

his tone has gone from, yes, before anyone has even read the let's put it out, let's see redacted mueller report? everything that's in it, to, we >> i think you have to go back to the factlys don't need to see this anymore. that the theory of law that why do the democrats want to would have to take place to find relitigate this? they're just going to try to reinvestigate. the bottom line is there. obstruction, so he's basically they would like to produce the saying ahead of time, i don't think there can be obstruction mueller report, almost 400 in this kind of case. so absolutely i think he's biased. pages, down to two sentences and to inject himself in the conspiracy theories as wild as that bob barr reported in his this, let's remember where that summary last week. those two summary statements are started. important because they say the some saturday a couple years ago now, the president of the united president did not establish collusion between the campaign states woke up, read something and russia, but sarah sanders on breitbart and tweeted out said it can't be read as that president obama had bugged anything other than exoneration, but that's what robert mueller the trump tower. said, it's not exoneration even no evidence ever came forth on though he's not accusing him of that. obstruction. and i suspect no evidence will we want to see what robert ever come forth about spying on mueller had to say explaining the campaign from mr. barr or that conclusion. >> and according to this abc report, the white house is anyone else hell bent on mainly concerned about don mcgahn. he's the variable here, the wild card, if you will, because as former white house counsel, he attaching themselves to this spoke with robert mueller for 30 administration. >> let's talk about trump's hours, if not more. taxes because sarah sanders

what is it that he might know, talked about that this morning. >> the only reason the oversight peter, that they could be concerned about? committee has the ability to >> well, he's right at the heart request someone's taxes are for the purpose of determining of everything, particularly on the obstruction issues. policy. this is all about political if, in fact, there is a concern partisanship. in this report expressed that this is a dangerous, dangerous donald trump or his associates tried to impede the investigation, even if it was particularly not this group of not a crime, they could be congressmen and women are smart accused of obstructive acts, enough to look through the then don mcgahn would have been thousands of pages that i would right at the heart of that. assume president trump's taxes my colleagues reported a number will be. of times in the "new york times" >> representative quigley, do that don mcgahn was discouraging you think you're smart enough to understand the president's tax the president when he expressed returns? >> i'm not an accountant, but i his frustration with robert mueller and talked about whether understand transparency, and the he should fire him or not. that's going to be something fact that the american public has a right to know who is obviously robert mueller would have focused on, and hopefully attempting to influence the we'll get some clarity in this president. there is a policy reason why report as to what actually presidents and presidential happened and what didn't happen candidates have released their and people can come to their own tax returns. this is a president who is quite suspect as to whether or not he judgments. was compromised. bob mueller didn't say obstruction happened, he judidn this is the most opaque administration in our lifetime. so obviously they don't want people to see what's in there. just said there is not a chargeable crime here, and those

could be evaluated for what they add up to. the republicans used this same law in 2015 to get tax records >> federal impeachable offenses, that sort of thing. of individuals. they're aware of this. real quickly, the last line here and at this point in time, the says the legal team did not debrief mcgahn, peter. is that because they could not president's public pressuring of after he spoke with robert the treasury of mr. mnuchin and mueller, or was this just somehow a sloppy overlook? the irs administrator, the >> that's a great question. the question is whether or not commissioner, not to release don mcgahn wanted to be these records is extremely debriefed, whether he greed to troubling. the fact is the law allows us to be debriefed, whether they tried to debrief him and he said no. get tax records of any individuals, and the law says i don't know the answer to that question but it's a very good that mr. mnuchin doesn't make one, because it does make you this decision, it's the irs wonder how much, then, was he still on the team, how much was commissioner. >> illinois democrat mike he troubled by things he witnessed. quigley, thank you so much for how much was he casting them in your time, sir. have a good week. a benign light or was he >> thank you. coming up, how the president disturbed enough to suggest and his lawyers may attack the mueller report after it's there was something troubling there. we don't know the answer to released, but does it really that. matter what they say? matter what they say he hasn't talked publicly and i can't imagine that the house would want to hear from him. but because he was the president's lawyer, there is a certain question of executive privilege and potentially even

attorney privilege. >> jacqueline is also reporting ♪ here that the sense inside the hey allergy muddlers... white house, it's all good news in this sense because everything achoo! was released with the torn do your sneezes turn heads? ♪ gener -- attorney general's report so it leaves unknowns and potentially try zyrtec. bad news, but what does that say zyrtec starts working hard at hour one that they continue trumping up -- i don't mean to use that and works twice as hard when you take it again the next day. word -- they keep putting out there everything is great. zyrtec. muddle no more. >> i think peter's point is very and try zyrtec-d for proven relief of your allergies, astute. we've seen the evolution of the sinus pressure, and congestion. president's response to the report the past few weeks. he's slowly backed away, and now shouldn't mean going back to the doctoro from the president we no longer just for a shot. need to allude to this, we don't with neulasta onpro patients get their day back... need to see the report, let's move on, people. to be with family, i think william barr is going to or just to sleep in. have to explain this week, according to multiple former strong chemo can put you at risk of serious infection. prosecutors, including some people who have worked with him, in a key study neulasta reduced the risk of infection is the distance between barr's from 17% to 1%, characterization of the report and what the actual report shows a 94% decrease. neulasta onpro is designed to deliver neulasta us, that there is going to be a the day after chemo and is used by most patients today. loft unsavorycdotes and

neulasta is for certain cancer patients receiving strong chemotherapy. do not take neulasta if you're allergic to it or neupogen (filgrastim). evidence that the president is an incomplete dose could increase infection risk. going to have to be explaining ruptured spleen, for and that does not equate to sometimes fatal as well as serious lung problems, total exoneration. the debate between mueller and allergic reactions, kidney injuries and capillary leak syndrome have occurred. barr itself is also going to have to be relitigated as to why report abdominal or shoulder tip pain, trouble breathing or allergic reactions to your doctor right away. barr took the liberties to himself come out and declare in patients with sickle cell disorders, that there was no obstruction of serious, sometimes fatal crises can occur. justice as well, which is -- the most common side effect is bone and muscle ache. there are multiple arguments here that really need to be, i ask your doctor about neulasta onpro. pay no more than $5 per dose with copay card. think, relitigated and we're going to see it play out publicly in congress. >> so, gabe, the concept of openturning 50 opens theuard. door to a lot of new things... collusion, that's out. that seemed to be unequivocally pushed to the side now. like now your doctor may be talking to you with regard to the concern of about screening for colon cancer. findings of obstruction of justice within the white house, luckily there's me, cologuard. what is your sense of that, and the noninvasive test you use at home. is it your sense that if you put out sarah sanders and jay it all starts when your doctor orders me. sekulow and any number of other then it's as easy as get, go, gone. white house spokespersons, that they just keep appealing to the you get me when i'm delivered... base, and they say, we were right to your front door exonerated, which clearly they and in the privacy of your own home. were not, even by barr's own

there's no prep or special diet needed. four-page summary on that you just go to the bathroom, to collect your sample. particular issue. what's the calculus there? >> well, clearly, you know, after that, i'm gone, shipped to the lab for dna testing that finds colon cancer and precancer. cologuard is not right for everyone. it is not for high risk individuals, they're trying to pre-empt this including those with a history of colon cancer or precancer. 400 page report that this is ibd, certain hereditary cancer syndromes, basically case closed and time or a family history of colon cancer. to move on. what we'll see in the coming maybe i'll be at your door soon! days, and people i've talked to at the white house who have ask your doctor if cologuard is right for you. talked to the president, they're going to go on the covered by medicare and most major insurers. counter-attack. hans at the top of the segment talked about this. there is going to be a big push to investigate the investigators. i think we'll see calls from the white house and the white house's allies to convene a grand jury to look into the origins of this report. so i think a lot of the fight over the coming days, again, will also be about trying to flip the script and go on the attack, and i think through, you know, the strategy they're going to try to mitigate any of the damaging findings that are in the report. at the end of the day fall back

on the two points that peter had mentioned, the fact there was no criminal conspiracy to collude with russia and no chargeable crime on the question of obstruction. >> yeah, we have devin nunez who is suggesting he wants to go and suggesting that eight people be further recommended for investigation to your point exactly. but peter, you have politico also reporting that trump allies, some of them, at least, are saying that the white house is in for, quote, a rude awakening at a minimum. what do you think the redacted report could show? in other words, what do you surely expect the report to include that we may not have heard before? >> well, that's a great question, right? what we've already heard, we already know that has been severe weather turning public over the last two years, deadly as storms swept through parts of southeast texas, that packaged together in a louisiana and mississippi damning way could be pretty important even if it's not a killing three children and one woman. reports of a strong ef-3 tornado chargeable crime. you could see a report saying it may not be a crime, it may not be conspiracy what they did with the russians but to play footsy tu touching down with winds of 130 miles an hour hitting central with the russians during a texas yesterday. campaign may be unseemly. the storm clearly pummeled,

we already know the president's destroying homes and moving into the north and east this evening. we're going to get a report from son and son-in-law got -- sought tami leitner at some point on the ground. it has been brutal there. out incriminating information, julian assange is blasting so they knew going to that meeting that it was helpful for the government saying it's been the russian government to give them information. that's in writing. spreading rumors, criticizing you can't prove a crime or say ecuador's decision to withdraw that's not necessarily against a particular law, that's not necessarily flattering to a assange's political asylum. president. so that may be why you see him >> this is a man who spent seven saying, why do we need to see years in a room at the it, let's stick to the bottom ecuadorian in the city. conclusion. that's going to be his line for what's it been like with him the next 18 months heading into the election, and, in fact, you living there? >> the ecuadorian has been can see the air kind of coming out of the balloon of the whole making pretty radical claims in russia investigation and even order to allow them to come into some of the obstruction conversation. the embassy. there is certainly not any mood with the change of government, for impeachment. ever since then inside the but the sharing of the report in embassy it's become more and the next few days will share a more difficult, to the point light on what the campaign did where even human rights said it or didn't do, and that's obviously an uncomfortable moment for them. was akin to human confinement.

>> anything said by bill barr has to be taken into serious he's not had it easy, and to suggest that someone would consideration, but your choose to remain in there reporting is saying the attorney general thinks the trump campaign was, quote, spied upon without legitimate concerns of and that has emboldened trump u.s. extradition which was allies ahead of the redacted proven this week. >> assange is in custody and report release. so did he try to cover it at an claims conspiracy. what happened to this guy, his famous cat? wikileaks has made a video of inopportune period of time? the cat playing assange's >> the lechngths william barr h arrest. there you see the cat -- oh, gone politicize the report that's rich. anyway, that does confirm for all of you concerned that the cat is fine and being well taken care of. and entertained, in fact. there you go. is president trump fooling and using the word spying in his some of his most ardent supporters? why many don't realize his testimony. policies are hurting them. taste of cheesecake. i think he has undercut the potency of his own language and philadelphia cheesecake cups. rich, creamy cheesecake with real strawberries. between what he's doing taking sides with the president and find them with the refrigerated desserts.

using these political tools going into 2020. the summary of mueller's report is going to be used constantly by the president going into 2020. it's going to be what he defaults to anytime someone tries to, you know, use the full 400-page mueller report to accuse him of anything other than complete and total exoneration. and by using the language "spying" last week also furters that politicization of these series of events and allows the president to use that language as well, just parrotting the attorney general. it is pretty notable just how much barr has, i think, strayed even our pets know to go because it's the easiest way from this idea of an apolitical, to save 30% on all the medications we carry. nonpartisan man of the law. so skip the search and go directly to petmeds.com now. >> you know, gabe, you wrote recently that the prospect of damaging revelations by the you're smart,eat you already knew that. special counsel is alarming but it's also great for finding the perfect used car. advisers who worry about the president's 2020 campaign being, you'll see what a fair price is quote, in disarray. and you can connect with a truecar certified dealer. what did you find on that front and what about the level of now you're even smarter. control that the campaign this is truecar.

manager bob parscale seems to have over jared kushner? >> brad parscale is a close ally of the trump family, and in particular, jared kushner, but he comes to the position of campaign manager with very little actual political experience. he was the digital guru behind trump's 2016 campaign. his skill set is in the social media and digital advertising world. and through his close connections with the trump family has been installed to run the 2020 effort. and so a lot of extended people in trump world, allies, fear that in terms of -- on the strategic level in terms of messaging and strategy that he's not equipped to navigate what is going to be a very difficult re-elect regardless of the findings of the mueller report, trump's approval ratings are in

challenging territory for an incoming president. and so i think you talk to people throughout the president's orbit, and there is concern that this mueller report is going to provide just another challenge for a campaign that, as it ramps up, has struggled to find its messaging. >> we'll see with 18 months to go if brad parscale stays in that position the whole time. great talking with you as always. thanks so much. forp t the white house press secretary says case closed on the mueller report. guys go through a lot to deal with shave irritation. what will happen when it's released maybe on tuesday? so, we built the new gillette skinguard will there be anything to jolt with a specialized guard designed to reduce it. the president? because we believe all men deserve a razor just for them. i'm going to ask that question next. i'm going to ask that question next over adversity. the best a man can get. and live your lives. gillette. that's why we redesigned humira. we wanted to make the experience better for you. now there's less pain immediately following injection. we've reduced the size of the needle and removed the citrate buffers.

president's policies, not just americans as a whole, but that the president's most loyal supporters, working class white voters, are hit among the but some give their clients cookie cutter portfolios. hardest? >> that's exactly right. basically the main argument. fisher investments tailors portfolios book is that the politics that to your goals and needs. the president and politicians some only call when they have something to sell. often claim make america great fisher calls regularly so you stay informed. again often make working class e happy to earn commissions whether you do well or not. fisher investments fees whites' lives shorter. if you live in a state, for example, that blocked health care reform, that enacted massive tax cuts that cut away money for roads, bridges and schools and other policies like that, and what i found was that these policies that were supposed to restore you to greatness, if you were a working class person and including a working class white person, these policies were as dangerous to you as asbestos or not wearing a seat belt. >> give me an example. what kind of policies are you talking about that you deem to be racist? >> a great example would be the rejection of basically blocking the affordable care act in

tennessee. i did a lot of work in tennessee talking to people about why it was that they weren't supporting the medicaid expansion, why they didn't want the affordable care act in their state. i talked to one man, for example, in a focus group named trevor who i will never forget, and i told him, look, this guy was quite medically ill and i told him the affordable care act could really help you. this man was quite critically ill and he said, i know it could help me but i'm not going to support this in a way, but what he told me is this program is also going to send my tax dollars to what he called mexicans and welfare queens. so this narrative that undeserving migrants or minorities are going to take away my resources led to taking away politics boomeranging. >> you went to communities where a fair amount of gun owners, and i want to talk about gun control, the rate of suicides in working class communities. jonathan, do gun lobbyists play

a role in manipulating this grou group? >> that's a huge part of my story. i know there is a lot of gun ownership in this country, but when i went to places like missouri and talked about gun policy, i would ask them, why is it you need a gun in your bedroom or under your bed at night? they would say people tell me someone is going to break into my house. it turned out the main cause of death in missouri was suicide, and there was no safety plan for that whatsoever. so the data i show in the book is quite ultimately what happens is white working class people's life spans are shortened because of these policies that don't take their safety into account. >> when you talk about whiteness, how did the subjects that you interviewed for this book, how do they define that? is it the same as what many consider to be white privilege? >> well, i'm going to be clear, i'm not talking about whiteness as a biological category, i'm not talking about it even as a

political category. what i look at in the book are when politics that are basically anti-government, anti-immigrant, pro-gun politics, these particular politics, when they work their way into health policies, that's really the story. it's a story about policies, not so much people. but i would also say that part of my frustration in writing this book is a frustration that there are many ways to be white in this country. and i encountered people who were working class white, and they were brave and generous and communal. so it was kind of a frustration that the politics and policies that were representing them were really the worst demons of whiteness, telling people basically we need to protect what's ours because somebody is going to come and take it away. >> do you think that race ought to be more openly considered when public policy decisions are being made? >> i certainly think underlying many issues that we're talking about today, including many i talk about in the book, there is a racial tension not just about minorities as we talk about all the time in the news right now,

but also about whiteness. so what i do argue in my research is that politicians and policymakers need to talk much more openly about white racial tensions and what that means. the other part of this is many of the studies in the book have long racial histories in this country. another part of what i argue is we need to look at the history of whiteness in order to understand how issues like obamacare or guns or tax cuts have the charges that they do right now. >> yeah. it is a big book. there are a lot of big ideas here, but i got to say the one who stays with me is the man in tennessee, trevor, i guess, who despite what could help him doesn't want to invest in that. that's heartbreaking. jonathan met sdplrzel, thank yo much. good luck with your book. why the mueller report should not be released. who is saying that and why, next. why, next >> tech: at safelite autoglass,

the rest of it is not a four-page summary. >> the white house is bracing for the mueller report. msnbc political analyst jonathan alter, columnist for the daily beast and susan del percio, also for the daily beast. susan, is that four-page memo going to come back to haunt the white house, do you think? >> i think it will, and not just because it was a summary that was really complete and tried to give the white house a win, but more there are going to be things that come out that will truly embarrass the president and his campaign team. >> how damaging can think report be, given that we have already received the principal conclusions? >> it can be very damaging, in that this can be the basis for legislation to focus on ways in which they can attack basically

trump's collusion and also his conflict of interest in businesses. it also can provide a field for the voters to look into and really see what type of president we have in the office, someone who by virtue of his actions democrat stated that he didn't believe he could wing fairly and squarely. there newscasts obstruction of justice, and actions, though not a crime, tantamount to collusion with russia. >> jonathan, do the democrats have any tools at their fingertip, any plans to hold the attorney general accountable if there's anything different? >> i think you can expect them to haul him up on capitol hill, but this is now moving from a legal context to a political context. that's not good news for the president.

his line, total exoneration, will become another trump lie in the weeks and months ahead. what the trump people are not recognizing is that in the legal world, you can be found not guilty. that doesn't mean you're innocent, just that there wasn't enough evidence to convict you and send you to jail. trump is making it seem as if the report is going to show that he was innocent. when the report unquestionably shows that he was not innocent, he just -- there just wasn't enough evidence to bring a case against him, he's going to pay a political price. pretty much every day of coverage of that report will be a bad day for donald trump. >> you know, susan, william barr set off more concerns among democrats when he said he thinking the trump campaign was spied upon.

ed. >> there was no spying. this was approved by the courts here. >> this is spying. >> this was a loaded term used for loaded impact, and this is not what that was. >> there's legal spying and illegal spying. the attorney general didn't make any opinion on that. it's electronic surveillance that the person being surveyed doesn't know about. >> i'm curious where it comes down. it's a loaded term for loaded impact to what end? >> it's a loaded term. i think barr try tried to walk it back, and he knew what he had done. he started in the cia. i mean, he's had a long career in government. he knows the difference. he was using a loaded term, because he's trying to help out the president, which has really hurt his credibility going forward. i want to follow up on what

jonathan said, he's not going to be proven innocent. all of the evidence will now swift to the political arena in which people will judgment. when you have a court case you don't want it laid out for everyone to see without putting it in context. i think that will really hurt the president. >> there's a new "the washington post" article, entitled barth aspeed talk. >> it gives the trump people some ammunition, but their argument is so flawed and untrue, they're basically saying this fbi investigation started with the steele dossier, but in fact it started when george pap do th -- pap adapt his was found

talks to the russians on the attorney general has ventured, into he conspiracy land. i don't think that will go well for them. the facts are not on their side once the report arrives, committee lawyers and the aides plan to crowd into a staff office and pore over it. among their goals will be to determine how large the gulf is and what the redacted copy offers. that measure will inform whether the committee issues a subpoena to obtain evidence underlying the report. does that indicate there's some redactions that the democrats would be willing to accept? >> yes. i think there will be redaction s but barr explained there would be redactions for third parties

or ongoing investigations, and they might actually be the core of what we need to know. that's part of the reason why staff will try to get all the of the information, all of the underlying evidence. and as we are preparing for this report to be released, we should expect to hear from the trump administration other chaotic facts, other story lines, themes that would distract from the importance of this report when it's released. >> well, to that point we know the white house is preparing a counter-report, and now they want to whittle it down to 50. we'll see what that looks like. happy sunday to you all. thank you. >> thanks. up next a member of the house judiciary committee about what he expects will come from the mueller report. out what he expects will come from the mueller report why accept it from your allergy pills? flonase sensimist relieves all your worst symptoms, including nasal congestion, which most pills don't. and all from a gentle mist you can barely feel. flonase sensimist.

you can barely feel. but how do i know if i'm i'm getting a good deal? i tell truecar my zip and which car i want and truecar shows the range of prices people in my area actually paid for the same car so i know if i'm getting a great price. this is how car buying was always meant to be. this is truecar. it's kind of unfair that safe drivers have to pay as much for insurance... as not safe drivers! ah! that was a stunt driver. that's why esurance has this drivesense® app. the safer you drive, the more you save. don't worry, i'm not using my phone

a edge, new reporting about what officials fear the most. >> there still may have been proof of very bad deeds, and very bad motives, and we need to see that, and the public needs to see that. >> we could just be hours away from seeing mueller's report. now some allies may be getting nervous. new deadline. democrats still ask to see the president's tax returns. many are backing up that demand by releasing their own. sanctuary city threat, not everybody in the white house likes the idea, what's keeping

the legal team from making the go ahead. and two campaigns heading to make it official. good day, everyone. anticipation skyrocketing as the attorney general is expected to release the redacted report possibly by tuesday. how to responsible, with both parties finessing their message. sarah sanders echoing the president's claim that there's nothing damaging in the mueller report. >> there was no collusion, no obstruction, which i don't know how you can interpret that any other way than total exoneration. i think it is absolutely absurd that democrats are going to continue to push in false narrative there was somehow wrongdoing on behalf of the president. meanwhile, democrats

asserting there's a trove of information. >> i hope it tells us mower information about russia's tactics of trying to influence our election, so we can protect ourselves. tells us exactly how the president and his campaign were involved in this, so we can draw our own conclusions and how the investigation was done. mike quigley moments ago told me he is expecting expectations low after big barr told congress that he thinking the trump campaign was spied upon. >> the attorney general was hired principally to do three things, exonerate the president, regardless of what is in the report, number two, give as also of the report out as possible, particularly to congress, and finally third, apparently to involve himself in conspiracy

theories. >> now new reporting from abc news, claiming that the white house has been briefed broadly about the, quote, logistics and timing of the release of the mueller report. abc also reports the white house will not claim executive privilege to try to get further redactions. the report also suggesting what worries the white house the most is what this man, there in the elevator, told the special counsel. that's don mcgahn who was interviewed for more than 30 hours, reportedly detailing events as to whether the president obstructed justice. to that point, the report suggests the white house is concerned about whether the special counsel has new information on how much the president tried to fire robert mueller, or at least talk about it. let's go right to the white house and hans nichols. let's get a sense of the latest there, and do you have a extents of whether white house officials know what is coming? >> reporter: alex, they might have the brought outlines of

this, makely that the president wouldn't be charged with obstruction of justice. we don't know what's been conveyed from the ag's office to the white house. abc, of course, is reporting that the broad contours, including the timing which could give the white house a bit of an advantage on just how to respond to this in terms of the news cycle. but when you look at the overall strategy this white house had for almost two years, was that they were going to initially have a legal strategy. that's why they made don mcgahn available and made he testify for more than 30 hours. the quell is at what point did it shift from a legal strategy to more of a political one. right now they feel like they're in the clear legally, and this is shifting to the politics, and this is sarah sanders talked about it in terms of their democrats wanting to relitigate 2016.

>> once they get the report and see what the summary has already laid out is there was not collusion, there is no obstruction, it's time to move on. they don't get a second chance of trying to re-investigate the president. we consider this to be case closed. >> william barr has been pretty cagey about what he shared, to in the testimony last week he didn't deny he had actually talked to hem about theft aspects of the mueller report. i think at this point we need to wait and see what is actually in it, and importantly and how much how much is going to be redacted. >> alex? >> hans, thank you for that. joining mess senior legal affairs writer to politico, josh kearse teen, and freelance journalist laura basset. you heard this abc news report that says that the white house has been briefed in broad strokes on the overall mueller

report. so, josh, is it fair to assume they may have an ink lynn when and how redacted this report will be when it's released? >> i think the white house probably does have access to the same type of information that reporters have been getting and others have been hear about the lo jestics, and when 2 may become available, but i frankly would be surprised if much in the way of the substance of the report beyond the letter that barr send has been handed over to the white house at this point. i still don't see many in the abc report that indicates that the white house has been given ump information that they can strategize about the report. >> i think they felt like it did totally exonerate trump, then trump wouldn't be making so much

noise, and neither would sarah sanders, and neither would they be trying to prevent the release. i think there's too much smoke here for not to be enough fire. don mcgahn, former white house counsel, seems to be the wild card here. what exactly is it that don mcgahn would know that they could have communicated over 30 hours, if not more, of testimony there. why would that have the white house concerned? legally speaking, can they not ask them? did they just forget? did he say, i don't want to talk to you about it, in which case that implies something? >> yeah, i mean, i don't think he said he wouldn't talk to them. that would be surprising, but it wasn't clear who was supposed to do the talking with mcgann.

mcgann was the most senior person as the white house council on this sort of official side of representing trump. you had other lawyers, people like rudy giuliani on the personal legal team. it's possible there's been some communication between them at this point, though frankly if he would even remember what he said, that's a lot of stuff to go over. you don't always know when they're asking you questions, which ones they think are really important and which ones have been brought to sort of fill in the background and confuse things. the key question is mcgann was in the room in the oval office for a lot of these discussions, including the talk about the firing of jim comey and why he could or couldn't be fired, and what reasons were acceptable. if you're trying to bear down on the president's state of mind, that's why mcgann is such a crucial player. >> as they say in "hamilton" he was in the room whether it happened there, so how much do

you think he knows? >> i think don mcgahn knows a lot. he is the personal they're most afraid of right now, wondering what he might have told the special counsel. there's a question of whether trump intended to thwart the investigation, but i think it's pretty clear he did. what's more central to the report right now is whether he had corrupt intent. he could -- it could turn out that trump did try to obstruct the information aboutst but had sort of pure intent, that he thought he hadn't don't anything wrong and this whole investigation was a waste the resources. corrupt intent is i might have done something wrong and to minimize my a exposure, i'm going to try to fire mueller, try to fire comey. that is what don mcgahn knows. hopefully that is going to be made clear in the report. >> josh, if we look at what's been written, they say the trump white house is bracing for the full mueller report and not all

of the president's allying are so confident. so what do you think could be in that report that would sent a jolt through the white house. a jolt from criminal proceedings, or do you think it's more along the lines of political problems. >> in terms of the obstruction issue, i think it more or less is a political problem. in terms of other spin-off allegations, that could still i have to see what really comes out in the final analysis. i do think, though, in terms of the top-line findings, the questions will be does it spurt fur investigation

. >> let's go to taxes, guys, lots of confidence, or maybe hue brings, for the press secretary to say she doesn't think this congress is smart enough to understand the president's tax return. is there strong reason to believe any congressional attempts are just going to come up short? >> i think it's the question of timing. and that process takes a long time. you're talking on six months, a year,ic even run through the 2020 election. i think they're bracing for battling over this, and posturing. in other words, april 23rd, laura, you think is just a date that will come and go with no

presentation of the financial footprints? >> that's what i would say. immediately the president and the white house shout it from the rooftops. if the tax returns looked good, he would send everyone a copy in america. so the likelihood is there's problematic things in there and they will not be released. good to see you both. thank you, guys. >> thank you. a tacking democrats, a furious president threatens to send undocumented immigrants to so-called sanctuary cities. so-called sanctuary cities , we really pride ourselves on making it easy to get your windshield fixed. with safelite, you can see exactly when we'll be there. saving you time for what you love most. >> kids: whoa! >> kids vo: ♪ safelite repair, safelite replace ♪ you mighyour joints...ng for your heart... or your digestion...

the story of tax returns is following the 2020 contenders and the president of the united states, both senator bernie sanders and president trump are facing increasing pressure. kamala harris released 15 years, and elizabeth warren released 11 years of her past returns on wednesday. also today two more democrats are expected to announce formal bids. pete buttigieg is expected to make it official in about 45 minutes, and eric wall -- swalwell is expected to

announce about two hours later in dublin, california. so of senator sanders facing more appreciate. >> it's not something that comes of organically. we're here in lordstown, ohio, this is a town that saw the closure of a oughtst plant recently. listen to what one supporter told me earlier today. is that something you've been following closely?

honestly, i don't care. >> this is a town hall event. it sounds like senator sanders just walked on stage. people have been telling me that jobs and -- and we'll hear what they have to say later today. >> that being said, take very copious notes. i know you will. let's go from wearen ohio, to indiana, where pete buttigieg is about to announce. josh, welcome.

folks seemed to be energized, giving mayor pete the benefit of the doubt. mayor pete has been saying he wants to talk about he -- and the supporters seem to be down with that. we've been asking some voters what they think about the fact he would be 39 if he took office as president, doesn't have the experience serving statewide or in the congress that a lot of other candidates do inch i think he has his age and knowledge going for him.

i think bernie and biden are a little old to carry the stress of the job. >> you look at a president when they tame office, when they leave office, they're aged, and they're already aged. i would fear for their health. >> reporter: alex. it's a diverse rout here. even some kids right out of high school. they're packed into stewed baker building 84, a converted old car plant, that was a remnant when stewed bak

studebaker was here, and he's going to try to nfc the report when he speaks in about a half hour. >> josh, thank you so much. the president claiming he has take a look how the debate played out earlier. to order something clearly illegal. you nor is it right for the president to use immigrants or people who are claiming political asylum as pawns in a fight against political opponents. this all could go away.

jointing mess is nanette battegon. welcome back to the broadcast. very nice to see you. i'm cureius how he -- that he has an absolute legal right. >> i don't great. >> this president is trying to use the federal government to get political revenge. >> officials are telling instead news the advisories have discussed if the mill -- going about building and running the migrant detention camps. what are your concerns around this idea?

we spoke to some of them where ice was helping coordinate. the shelters would tell they what churches where they could be dropped off. they offered dallas and isis said they couldn't do it if the president is serious about coming up with a absolute, it's not going to be about saying where can i send migrants? you've seen how migrants have been kept in holding pens, however you want to describe it.

>> i believe it is. i think it's more of the fearmongering, more of the president trying to figure out what he can say, but look, what is happening at the border is this president is creating chaos. they're slowing down the process on the immigration front, turning people away at the ports of entry. these are human beings. number one, ask where is the $415 million that congress just allocated for humanitarian aid, and, two, working with the shelters to make sure we send migrants to where they're being welcome, taken, churches, and by the way, alex, i just want to say most of thinks migrants go here for a day or two and their family members send them tickets to get to where the family members are.

>> sometimes it's in the l.a. area, sometimes it's in the dallas area, so these are the starting points is, a, making sure we're working with the shelters to try to get migrants to be released in places where it's going to be humane and then to reach out to families. >> here's another question. who is running the show? there have been numerous personnel departures this week at homeland security, including secretary nielsen. i know you questioned niltsen on the hill last month in a committee hearing. how big of an impact are these departures? do you think she should have resigned? >> i was calling for her resignation since june of last year when she first started women and family and children. make no mistake, her departure

makes it worse. that is of a great concern to me we were supposed to have her come and testify on may 1st before homeland security again. now it's in a state of flux. we don't know if anybody is coming, but we need to get answers and have to continue the oversight. what you hear, the reports of the president being lawless and basically saying do whatever you need to do, even if you need to break the law, totally outrageous, unacceptable and why congress needs to continue this oversight. do you think the president is aware and do you think there's a good side to sending immigrants to sanctuary cities?

>> let's make no mistake about what this is. the president has previously moved to defund sanctuary cities. the president goes on his rampage against sanctuary cities. this is political retribution. this wasn't a situation where the president or his advisers said, how can we help at the border? that was not the approach being taken. the approach being taken was let's send these migrants, let's send them some place for political retribution, that's what is wrong, we cannot allow

the federal government to be used for federal retribution. >> thank you. very good to see you again. appreciate it. >> thank you. steve cohen weighs in on the release of the relacked report and the trump administration's overconfidence. e trump administs overconfidence

>> what about the -- congressman, what about sarah sanders said. >> thee had a second bite at the apple, probably a third or fourth. this is ridiculous. we have a $35 million report about the president possibly engagingbehavior. we paid millions of dollars, and both the public and the representatives of the government have a right to see it. mueller did not say he did not commit collusion. he said there was proof one way and the other. so there's something in there that said he did things that could be considered collusion. >> the fact that the white house keeps putting out there.

this has been photographed better than bob fossie. and barr is there to be the fixer, the black sox were more honest that are they are. this whole thing with the three-week delay is to get that exonerated no collusion in people as minds. now they're saying we shouldn't even look at it. it's reduction lutz. >> what's the likelihood of you seeing that, though? >> i think the judiciary committee has authorized them to go to court, and i think the court will allow us to see all the testimony.

there's exemptions in there, but i think we'll see that. >> abc news has interesting reporting today, and it suggests that the white house may be a bit concerned about what could be forthcoming in the report for mueller. specifically the questions surrounding james comey, and the extend that the president directed, knew about it, talked about it, those things. interestingly, it also go to the heart of don mcgahn something that he did not debrief anybody within the white house about. do you believe that he may be the wild card here, he was the one in on everything. and he may have put information

that would jolt the white house? >> i think the president asked him to take actions, which he didn't to fire mueller or session, i forget who it was. but he celebrated can kissly l kissly yak. he had spiritual vodkas with kizliyak. well, he didn't they couldn't have believed him. russia interfered with our election. we have proof that russia interfered with our elections. we have a president who's individual one, an unindicted co-conspirator to a felony here in the southern district of new york and we have a report that says he's not exonerated from crimes or behavior.

and sarah said we couldn't see the report? go back to arkansas. are think expectations that it's enough of a criminal nature to pursue? or is it more political concern you think when it comes to the obstruction of justice claim? >> it could be criminal if you can indict a president, and the justice department says they can't. but obstruction of justice -- i did that a year and a half ago, there's emoluments violations, and the whole -- lindsey graham, when he led the effort against clinton said it was about purging the white house from bad things. that's lindsey graham's buddy, and he does bad things every

day. it's the horror shot du jour. that's why you have 17 people running for president. they know we need a change. the man is a cold, cold, strange human being. he left new york and trump tower and never thought about what he left behind, because he doesn't have friends there. it's all about him and titles. >> i'm awfully glad you stop by in person. >> when i do my announcement it will be on colbert. >> are you going to make it 18? >> this is getting to be a really good inside joke. good to see you. a new books with behind the scenes snapshots of programs, that's become politically relevant, even though it did not start that way. relevant, even though it did not start that way

opinions, and they tried to dissuade her, but she always percent vire. >> and it wouldn't have happened without her. >> she pulled every connection in the book. >> the ratings were very bad in the beginning, but the daytime team was scared to cancel it. they kept it on, because it was barbara wallers. >> i remember you talked about nicolle wallace, while she was in the white house work fog george w. bush, he would look up at the monitor and say it was being discussed on "the view" and would say -- >> it became a barometer of national moods and also very important indication of what women believed or thought, because it was airing during the daytime. a lot of the viewers were, you know stay-at-home moms, candidates used it to reach undecided voters, particular in 2008 and 2016, and so it became a very important political show, particularly after they hired a

conservative elizabeth hasselbeck in 2003. >> in terms of the politics, there can be politics between these women, and they do not agree. >> when you see them fighting on air, that's not rehearsed. those are actual fights and political discussions. they had mirror in a lot of ways discussions that families are having. >> meghan mccain admitted it's a hard show times, and being the lone conservative on the show is a big weight to carry. you're constantly in opposition to the other women who are >> let's put her against, say, joy behar, do the issues carry off the set? what happens in their separate dressings rooms? >> i think sometimes -- a lot of the book is set sort of backstage after the fights or debates and fallouts, but we just saw on snl last night they parodied meghan and joy fighting about this week's immigration

him. >> it's cool the way you break down the book. it's all good. thank you for joining mess. >> thank for you having me. good luck with the book, again, "ladies who punch." reaction to what the trump's team has learned about the mueller redacted report and what it fears the most. r redacted ret it fears the most. i'm working to keep the fire going for another 150 years. ♪ to inspire confidence through style. ♪

new today, washington on high alert ahead of the redacted mueller report release. sarah sanders digging in on claims that it will show total exoneration as democrats are pushing back. a congressman telling me this. >> she knows as well as we do what the public record is. the extraordinary extent of collusion that took place and the extraordinary extent of obstruction that took place. i believe the special counsel is a person who follows the rules. i believe he set a very high bar. the fact that he would not exonerate, given that high bar, tells us that there must be significant information in his report involving obstruction. >> let's bring in adrian elrod,

former director of strategic communication for hillary clinton. with a big welcome to you. ned, i'm going to let you go first. you hear her saying one story. there's an abc news report that behind the scenes the white house has been briefed in broad strokes, perhaps on the logistics and the timing of this particular release. but even more significantly, that there is some concern about what the white house could be bracing for in terms of obstruction of don mcgahn more 30 hours of testimony to robert mueller. what are you hearing from your sources? what might those concerns be about? >> i'm not really hearing there's much concern. i think they feel that it was -- they were exonerated by the mueller report. i will remind people, ag barr's report was a summation of the 300 plus pages, almost 400

pages. he gave mueller the opportunity to very view that. i have a hard time believing that bill barr is going to risk his sterling reputation -- i will remind people he was confirmed unanimously to be bush 41's ag. i think they feel that they have been cleared of collusion, they have been cleared of obstruction, they have been cleared of any conspiracy. >> hang on. exonerated of collusion perhaps. but can you really say that they have been exonerated of obstruction of justice based on what bill barr wrote? we're talking about to a criminal degree, a prosecuting degree. >> i would say if bob mueller really felt that there was something that was egregious in the four-page summary, based off what did he with buzzfeed, that he would have said something and made it clear. he chose not to. there were some peoples of his

team, i would suspect andrew weissman, putting things out in the press. i have a hard time believing if mueller had a problem with the conclusions of barr's report that he wouldn't have said something. >> don, was your reaction? specifically, the issue of obstruction and maybe to a criminal prosecuting degree there's a problem. politically speaking, obstruction of justice still seems to be a hot potato topic. >> it is. mueller objected to the buzzfeed report because his investigation was still ongoing. at this point, it's not ongoing. that's why he doesn't have anything to say about the barr report. we have seen the barr report, a four-page summary, we have not seen the mueller report. you have to remember why william barr is here. it's because of his singular view of the infalinfalability.

robert mueller has done a good job of not putting his hand on the scale, be it collusion or obstruction or any other criminal charge. until we see the report, we don't know what it's going to say. when it comes to the redactions, i have no faith like i expressed several weeks ago when the investigation concluded -- i have no faith that we will see a full and complete report because the redactions come down to not what the president can legally do but what is proper. this president over the course of his two years, when it cops down to what is proper, he has consistently taking the improper route. >> do you think democrats are pressing their luck? how sure can they be? do they need to get the full un-redacted report to press their issues? >> they can't be sure, of course. ultimately, at least members who sit on the intelligence committee, members of congress,

i think all members of congress, should be able to see the full report without redactions. of course, the publically released report will have to have some sort of redactions based on classified information, information that cannot be publically released. in order to have the full faith in the american people for them to be able to know that there is definitively not obstruction, if that's what trump is continuing to claim, then they need to see as much of the report as they can, transparency is key here. frankly, i think it's irresponsible right now for everybody to predict that this report will not show obstruction. i think that that's what we hear from the white house, that they are concerned about what could be in the report pertaining to why did trump fire james comey, why did he attack sessions. we will see what happens. >> unfortunately, i have to let your facial expressions reflect your thoughts. we have a big announcement. we have to get in a commercial break. short but sweet. you said great stuff. thank you very much.

coming up, again, mayor pete's big announcement. guess what he is going to say. o. i don't keep track of regrets. i never count the wrinkles. and i don't add up the years. but what i do count on, is staying happy and healthy. so, i add protein, vitamins and minerals to my diet with boost®. boost® high protein nutritional drink has 20 grams of protein, along with 26 essential vitamins and minerals your body needs. all with guaranteed great taste. the upside- i'm just getting started.
