breast cancer center, she's coming for the multimodal therapy ... these were people who were experts in their field. and for us, that was the best choice. learn more at cancercenter.com/philadelphia president trump is at his golf resort in new jersey for what the white house calls a working vacation. his trip comes after we saw some ixed and even contradict messages once again from the president and members of his administration. yesterday we heard from the top intel chiefs about the ongoing threat that russia is posing to our country, but just a few hours later at a rally mr. trump called that investigation into russian meddling a hoax. earlier thiseek facebook revealed that it removed dozens more fake accounts.

it said they were part of an influence campaign aimed at creating political discord ahead of the mid-term elections i november. >> and was it an order or just an opinion? the president's tweet calling for jeff sessions to end the russia invtigation even though sessions had recused himself manafortthat as paul is in court this weekend and joining us to help us sort this out i "meet the press" moderator chuck todd. so many issues and so little timeth the listen, a big one this week is the president's entire tel team coming out and talking about what they are ing about russian -- russian meddling in our election while the president is tweeting that it's a hoax at a rally. >> and you have >> which is -- which wayup i >> well, that's the problem, right, they have a credibility -- the whole point

it appears to mow and based on our reporting that the reason why they all went out there, t intel chiefs, they knew over the last couple of weeks after the he will sink, you had a couple of big issues, the helsi ai meetin facebook announcement and they knew there was a growing sense maybe we're not on top o and maybe this president is not serious about it so they wanted to have a show of force,nd they were serious, christopherwea the fbi director, their concern was palpable. what was interesting they didn't have anythin new to announce, just trying to accepted the message this is real, this is rious and we're on top of it. and then the president russia hoax. this is -- this is the disconnect,ndt goes back to a -- the president will not confront him on any ofthis, and that question, obviously, mueller may get to the bottom of

answering that question for us. >> well, paul manafort has to do with his tax avasion tax fraud charges, but other than his sartorial choices and os stritch jackets, what are we getting from this? >> we learned a lot today and yesterday where iaw think you where mueller is taking this. so he's laying out the tax fraud with manafort. what's fascinating is basically the tax fraud stems from manafort essentially running out of money in 2014, 20 is a and 2016, particularly as his 20 is and taxes a then going into 2016 thing and the most odd here now is just when he asks to join theamrumpign and work for free, he's brokese bec his pro-russian ukrainian client money had dried up, and sudden just when that dries up ffering to work for free so who is paying him in the point is sort of the cliffhanger of this trial. it looks like he's got all the documentation in the world to prove tax fraud here.

it's goi to be pretty open and shut case, they are not defending that prettyutwell, the cliffhanger here as far as the mueller probe is concern is why was manafort broke? why was he trying to lower his tax sfwhil what was going on here, and then if hok was why was he comfortable working for free? and that is i think -- that's the cliffhanger here where now you understand why mueller is doing this case. he has farmed out the other cases buts he's doing t case. we're not done with manafort when it comes to trump. >> still following the money. >> i hate to use that cliche over and ove t butt's what it is, it's a money issue. >> the president has made his disdain for the media pretty clear. yesterday ivanka trump came out andaid she doesn't agree with her dead that the press is the enemy of the people, b then this response from the white house, and let's listen and hear your take on t other side. >> do you think the media is the enemy of the team? >> no, do not. >> the media continues to

ratchet up the verbal assault against the president and everyone in this administration. >> you s did n in the course of those remarks that you just made that the press is not the enemy of the people. >> i've addressed this question. i've addressed my personal feelings. i'm hear to speak on behalf of the president. he's made h comments clear. >> they are the fake, fake disgusting news. >> and -- and we've also heard the publisher othe "new york times" talking about -- telling the president this is dangerous what you're doing. a, i think the president knows and doesn't care can, i'm sorry. it'ssn clear he d care. sarah sanders is the disappointment hereecause she's a taxpayer. she has a taxpayer's salary and works for the american people. she does not work forp, donald trorks for the office of the presidency and that's the american presidency. that eas anraordinarily disappointing mom and real missed opportunity for her to sort of take a moment here and, you know what's interesting here, there is this tendency
