then we had president trumps tweets about this, this morning. a lot. he story throughout the day. the white house, the aides to president trump were caught offguard this morning when these tweets came in. we are told the white house is now looking into this and preparing a response to back up with some facts or concrete information what president trump tweeted this morning. news on that, as it happens. more news from the president. president trumps a budget is is expected to hit congress later this month. it has one federal agency in its crosshairs. that agency, the epa. their task with protecting the health of the environment could see its funding cut by 25%. some critics are nervous that we may see more disasters like the flint water crisis. other see an opportunity for more local oversight. here to sorted out are two experts. gentlemen, great to have you. is it fair to say, and, that a lot of federal agencies could have a lot of fat cut out. wise and the epa cut one of them? >> one, there's a rationale this is an agency that has far exceeded its stat

we started with 64 trump tweets in our bracket. e flagrant four. >> four. >> that's right, roy, let's check out the finalists starting with this jugger naught of a tweet. i would like to extend my best wishes to all, even the haters and losers on this special day. september 11th. >> this has all the classic elements of a trump tweet. >> arrogance, petiness and the emotional hairpin turn of a true sigh cotteddic. >> yep. now that tweet is going head-to-head with quote. >> are you allowed to impeach a president for gross incompetence, trump tweeted so much more better stuff than that, this didn't even make it past the firs round. quote. i don't like seeing the pope standing at the checkout counter front desk of a hotel in order to pay his bill. it's not pope-like. i hate to say st, roy. trump's right. >> yep. >> he's right. the bigger question, what kind of hotel is charging the pope? why would you do that? the man talks to god. you can't spot him a free sprite from the mini bar. >> that's sad. >> sad. >> but let's move on to the othe

but now he's tweeting as trump and as president. these tweets and it's hard not to take them seriously. >> absolutely. we need to scrutinize his words just like obama's or bush's or reagan's or any president's words that have to be taken seriously. but i think the media amplifies president trump's tweets in a significant way, possibly too loudly. his posts today were about merkel, about germany. there were 15,000 retweets, that means 15,000 people spread them to their friends. but millions of people heard about those tweets through your newscasts and other newscasts. so it's the media who amplifies his tweets. if i tweet about my breakfast, nobody pays attention. maybe we should spend less time talking about his celebrity feuds. >> >> the president was asked if he regrets any of his tweets. let's watch. >> my second question, are there from time to time tweets that you regret. >> very seldom. >> so you -- >> very seldom. probably wouldn't be here right now. very seldom. we have a tremendous group of people that listen. i can get arou

as the numbers came in, trump deleted those tweets. own actual electoral win and loss -- takes us to number thee. in addition to winni he -- >>> you're going to find and we're going to do an investigation on it. >> 3 to 5 million illegal votes. >> it could very well be that much. >> still no white house investigation. nor any evidence to support the claim. >> at number 2. how low has president obama gone to tap my phones during the very sacred election process? this is nixon watergate. bad or sick guy. well the house intelligence committee launched an investigation into that claim. >> we don't have any evidence that that took place and in fact, i don't believe just in the last week of time the people we talked to, i don't think there was a tap of trump tower. >> we will be submitting certain things and i will be perhaps thinking about this next week. but it's right now before the committee. i want to leave it at that. >> the number one debunked or baseless claim. >> you are not allowed to be president if you're not born in this country

should i say as if anchoring a morning news report, president trump tweeted this morning that presidentobama secretly bugged him. president obatrump tweeted that president obama is a felon. i don't hear hail to the chief when i hear about this banter at dawn. i hear a guy trying to get attention like the guy who said, barack obama was an illegal immigrant, ted cruz' father killed president kennedy. a person who calls into the right wing radio in the middle of the night, with a conspiracy theory. something that should be forgotten by dawn, not woken up by it. that's hardball for now. join me tomorrow night at 7:00 eastern. ♪ true beauty... is found within. let yours shine through. neutrogena® skin clearing makeup... doesn't just cover up blemishes, it clears them... and gives you beautiful... flawless coverage... so you'll look... as enchanting as you are. neutrogena® see what's possible. and see disney's beauty and the beast... in theatres march 17th. the battle has begun. ♪ soldier versus soldier. ♪ army versus army. ♪ nation versus nation. ♪ evony: the king's return. download now and

president trump this morning of course tweeting without evidence that president obama's administration had wiretapped trump tower just before the election and called it nix o ownian, compared to watergate. and we have a statement from kevin lieu irks quewilewis, quol rule of the obama administration was that no white house official ever interfered with any independent investigation led by the department of justice. as part of that practice, neither president obama nor any white house official ever ordered surveillance on any u.s. citizen. any suggestion otherwise is simply false. so that is the statement from the former president right there to the current president's accusations. i also want to update you on new reporting we have in here to nbc news. our pete williams reporting that a senior u.s. official in a position to know says that he and others have no idea what the president is talking about regarding the allegation that his communications in trump tower were wiretapped in the fall by the obama administration. now, we're trying to as well get a sense of where the president got

i think the fox, trump tweets, surveillance, you have don trump jr. out there tweeting, boom, then tweets about nunes' visit. you have the president, retweeting some sycophants saying the same thing. this is an ecochamber they live in, hermetically sealed world the trump administration and supporters choose to live in and maybe progressives live in their own hermetically sealed world and maybe that's the state of our country, but when you look at the other metrics, stock market getting shaky about this administration. there's no vision here, number one. just little problems and bigger problems and problems everywhere. there's no accomplishments. there's no vision. there's nothing to show for it. republican majorities they have on capitol hill, yet, and republican in the white house. this was supposed to be this dawn of a republican era of government and right now it looks like a huge mess and the stock market that was optimistic about this initially, you're starting to see signs that folks may not have as much confidence that the new leadership in wash

trump tower. this is just one of six tweets president trump fired off around 6:30 a.m.ote, terrible, just found out that obama had my wires tapped in trump tower just before the victory. nothing found. this is mccarthyism. president trump also made an attempt to tie president obama to the fallout over meetings attorney general sessions and some of his top aides had with the russian ambassador. he tweeted "the first meeting jeff sessions had with the russian ambassador was set up by the obama administration under education program for 100 ambassadors." and this tweet, "just out -- the same russian ambassador that met jeff sessions visited the obama white house 22 times and 4 time last year alone." meanwhile, attorney general sessions is getting ready to respond to democrats on the judiciary committee about why he wasn't forth coming in the meetings with the russian ambassador. also new today, secretary of state rex tillerson pushing back against the white house's proposed drastic cuts in the state department and u.s. aid budgets, the whopping 37% cut could go into effect

let's look at a couple of key trump tweet match-ups in the government affairs region. a president for gross incompetence?" ( laughter ) >> i'm pretty sure we'll find out, roy. ( applause ) >> year, we will. ( cheers and applause ). >> yup. >> we will. we're going to find out, and then it's president pence time. >> oooh! you know what that means? he turns us all gay with his conversion therapy. >> i'm pretty sure that's not how it works. >> oh. that's too bad. anyway, that tweet is going head to head with one of my favorites, "the concept that global warming was created by and for the chinese in order to make the u.s. manufacturing noncompetitive." ( laughter ) >> ridiculous. it's ridiculous. the chinese don't have time to invent global warming. >> you're right, roy. they're too busy making donald trump's giant ties. give it to me. there we go. give it to me. give it to me. >> yeah! >> another match-up in the enemies region. >> now this tweet, it's only a month old, but it's already holding its own, hasan.

president trump tweeting serious agencies against his predecessor. one says he just found out president obama had his wires tapped bore the election. trump called this mccarthyism. and another tweet with more allegations about phone tapping. trump calling the whole situation nixon/watergate. pete williams adding a few minutes ago go that a senior u.s. official says that he and others have no idea what the president is talking about. let's fwli william herd. what you can tell us about these claims? >> i don't know what he's referring to. i'm sure he's frustrated with the back and forth and the politicalization of the investigation into russian attempts to manipulate our election. and it's a serious charge. i spent 9 1/2 years as an undercover officer in the cia. i chased russians all over the world in their attempt to try to influence or elections is something that should be reviewed and it should be reviewed in a bipartisan and thorough manner. >> do you think it's plausible that the fisa court approved a warrant? >> well, if there was, and i don't ha

i'm sure you have been work your white house sources feverishly ever since president trump's tweet startsearing saturday morning. do they have any evidence to support that president obama ordered the wiretapping of trump tower? >> no, there isn't an evidence chain that would support such a sweeping assertion. we have reporting about an investigation of people around trump. it's conceivable people around trump -- the f.b.i. -- there is a lot of russian communications. chris: he was saying they wiretapped his phones in trump tower. >> and if the president of the united states barack obama ordered it, there is no evidence that we know about to that effect. chris: laura, there is the question whether this is true. it would be very dramatic if president obama ordered the tapping of phones in trump tower. why does donald trump want to keep breathing life into this story about the russia-trump connection at the precise moment he's trying to unveil and push his agenda. >> perhaps one of the reasons is, i don't know, i am just speculating -- the reporting on the russia-trump collusion on the campa

president trump tweeted this morning that barack obama is a felon. know he's president but this strike you, this kind of conduct, with the office of the presidency? does it? i don't hear hail to the chief when i hear about this banter at dawn. i don't hear a president gdoing his sworn duties. i hear that guy who said ted cruz's father killed president obama -- president kennedy. i hear a guy who calls into right wing radio with a crazy hate-filled conspiracy theory, something forgotten by dawn, not woken up by it. that's "hardball" for now. thanks for being with us. "all in" with chris hayes starts right now. >>> tonight on "all in" -- >> this will be a plan where you can choose your plan. and you know what the plan is. this is the plan. >> trump care has landed? >> look at the size. this is the democrats. this is us. >>ed w widespread backlash grow republicans revolt against a republican bill. >> why are republicans so opposed. >> and trump care supporters make their case. >> rather than getting that new iphone, maybe they should invest in their own

trump tweeted earlier this morning, terrible, just found out that obama had my wires tapped in trump tower just before the victory. nothing found. this is mccarthyism. former obama aide ben rhodes saying no president could order surveillance without a warrant and obviously that leaves open a lot of questions. there have been a wave of u.s. air strikes in yemen, manned drones at al-qaeda, one of the most dangerous in the world. more than 30 air strikes taking out facility and heavy weapons. more on mr. trump's tweets at the top of the hour with elizabeth prann. i'm leland vittert. >> have you ever thought that different the popularity that you have we haven't broken the glass ceiling yet for women that you could actually run for president and be elected. >> i thought oh, gee, i don't have the experience, i don't know enough. now i'm thinking, oh. >> all right. >> oprah winfrey suggesting she could win if she ran for president and fellow billionaire celebrity, my friend, mark cuban on record, saying he might be able to pull it off, too. the political class-- is this what we've come to,

he cut ties with team trump in 2015, but raised questions with his tweet last summer. seeming to predict a wikileaks hack aimed at the clinton campaign. >> i have a backchannel communications with wikileaks. >> reporter: to democrats it adds up to this argument, too many connections to be coincidence. to republicans, it's a witch hunt with the white house pointing to statements from former obama administration officials. >> but at the time, we had no evidence of such collusion. >> reporter: it could be years before the investigation's complete. until then its cloud hangs over the trump administration. the shadow of russia looming. hallie jackson, nbc news, washington. >>> all of this brings us to the subject of president trump's credibility, which is one of the most important things a president has, especially when a national crisis arises and the country turns to its commander in chief. now after a string of unproven claims, will this president struggle to keep the trust of the american public? here's nbc's peter alexander. >> reporter: tonight, for a president who's

plan to begin voting on the legislation tomorrow. >>> the white house is defending president trump's tweets claiming president obama ordered illegal wiretapping of trump tower during the presidential election. even some republicans say they need evidence before they'll back the president. senior fbi officials asked justice department to reject the claim, but three days later, no one is talking. critics say president trump is looking to deflect attention from investigations into russia's involvement in the election. the president's new executive travel ban, it's also receiving pushback from democrats and immigration groups. [ chanting ] >> no ban, no wall, no ban, no wall. >> this is some of the pushback we're talking about. police arrested five people who were part of a protest against the trump administration's revised travel ban. this was the scene this morning outside the customs and border patrol building in northwest d.c.. >> we're here today because we think that cbp as the enforcers of this ban has a responsibility and we must stand up to them. >> iraq is removed from the new version

[ applause ] trump's impulsive stream of consciousness tweets might seem embarrassing for an incomingsident, but trump is apparently proud of his twitter presence. so proud, that according to the "washington post", he boasts to friends, aides, and journalists alike, about the quality of his writing and claims that people call him "the ernest hemingway of twitter." [ laughter ] though i would say you're just the ernest of twitter. [ applause ] seriously, if ernest hemingway heard you say that, he would kill himself again. [ audience ohs ] [ laughter ] and any hopes that trump would start this week focused on serious issues were shattered when meryl streep -- while not mentioning him by name -- had this to say at the golden globes. >> when the powerful use their position to bully others, we all lose. >> seth: and sure enough, this morning the president-elect responded to streep in a series of tweets, including one that said -- "meryl streep, one of the most overrated actresses in hollywood, doesn't know me but attacked last night at the golden globes." overrated? she's so good, people u

laughter ] james comey also said today that he has found no information that supports president trump's tweetshat former president obama wiretapped trump tower. added comey, "to be fair, the only place we've checked is hillary's e-mails." [ laughter and applause ] you can't check her e-mails enough. according to a new survey, only 43% of u.s. voters can name a supreme court justice. said one voter, "hey, i tried to name one, but they wouldn't let me." [ laughter ] so -- [ cheers and applause ] hillary clinton said during a speech on friday that she is ready to come out of the woods. oh, yeah, you got to get out of there! [ laughter ] donald trump jr. is in the woods. [ light laughter ] a moscow zoo is suing a company that hired one of its raccoons to appear in a commercial, saying that when the animal returned, it was attracted to women's breasts. or as mike pence calls it, "a successful conversion." [ laughter and applause ] "we fixed your raccoon." [ laughter ] president trump met with microsoft found bill gates today. presumably to share their stories about living 40 years without changing

and then what happened after president trump tweeted that? well, director comey was then asked about that tweet. >> this tweet has gone out to millions of americans, 16.1 million to be exact. is the tweet as i read it to you, the nsa and fbi tell congress russia did not influence the electoral process. is that accurate? >> well, it's hard for me to react to that. let me tell you what we understand the state of what we've said is. we've offered no opinion, have no view, have no information on potential impact because it's never something we looked at. >> okay. so it's not too far of a logical leap to conclude that the assertion that you have told the congress that there was no influence on the electoral process is not quite right? >> right. it certainly wasn't our intention to say that today because we don't have any information on that subject. that's not something that was looked at. >> with me congressman mike quick l quigley from illinois. listening to director comey saying he has no information that president obama wiretapped president tru

president trump tweeting, terrible, obama had wiretapped in trump tower. nothing found. this is mccarthyism. president obama said no white house official ever interfered with any independent investigation led by the department of justice. as part of that practice, neither president obama nor any white house official ever ordered surveillance on any u.s. citizen. any suggestion otherwise is simply false. white house correspondent athena jones joins me now live near mar-a-lago. also with us, cnn crime and justice producer. athena jones, start with you here. a senior administration official told cnn that white house staff didn't learn of the president's tweets until after he sent them. what else are you learning from inside the trump team? >> we're still awaiting official statement from the white house, from the president's press team. we also asked for evidence, any evidence they can offer to back up the president's explosive allegations, but my colleague, senior white house correspondent did speak with the senior administration official who said as you noted that they wer

within a day, trump was tweeting it as fact.ince then, the president's aides have had a hard time defending the claim. >> let's look into this. if this happened, if this is accurate this is the biggest overreach. >> the president of the united states is accusing the former president of wire tapping him. >> i think this is again something if this happened -- >> if, if, if, if. >> i agree. >> why is the president saying it did happen? >> look, i think he is going off information he is saying has led him to believe that this is a very real potential. >> is that a tough assignment for sara. president trump appears committed to that real potential telling news max this will be investigated and all come out. i will be proven right. answers from the white house may be hard to come by today. no tv cameras at the 1:30 p.m. briefing with sean spicer. >> spicer said this is based on reports. he said in the past that the president sees something and believes it to be true. >> of course, he has access to the doj and fbi, cia, nsa. he doesn't

by reports, does he mean trump's own tweets? because saturday morning trump went on a reckless tweet storm making allegations rem any u isn't of his birther theory and bogus claims about an election. how low has president obama gone to tap my phones during the sacred election process? this is nixon/watergate. obama is a bad or sick guy u. where did trump get these ideas? where's he getting his information welcome this news story was circulating on friday and trump was infuriated by it. it asserted that obama has been trying to undermine trump at every turn. pfs inspired by a radio segment by mark eleven. this was not fresh reporting, it was opinion. attempts to connect some dots. that was on thursday. that's how this new story start ed. now it's sunday. the white house is calling on congress to investigate this theory. here's sara huk by sanders on this week. z. >> these are extremely serious charges the president is making. where's he getting this information? >> there have been quite a few reports that jonathan and others earli

look at president trump's tweet this morning. he talked about of course michael flynn needs immunity, because if you're going testify and give information in donald trump's world, you've got to get something back. quite frankly, in lawyer 101 world, it's the same thing. why in the world would you not seek immunity to cover yourself from what you believe or perceive to be your critics out there that may take something that may be close to a dangerous legal line and run with that? so there may be some murky issues here legally that's why immunity comes into lay. >> hallie, let's talk about another threat in this ever-developing russian authority. devin nunes, three white house officials now have been named as having past on that information. what do we know about these three folks? >> a couple of things. named by "the new york times" and "the washington post." nbc news not independently verifying that reporting. and two, not necessarily having past on the information, but having some role in the ultimate revelation when devin nunes

golf club in virginia -- >> social media pictures apparently showed president trump ready for a game of golf wearing tweetsovernment cart at another in the trump national golf club in virginia. he was there for four hours according to pool reporters who were initially told he was there for meetings. >> trevor: i don't mind politicians lying, but i would like for them to have enough respect for citizens to lie better. if you're going to go golfing when you said you had meetings, at least, like, comb a little bit of your hair into a fake beard or something. hide that you're there, you know? just be, like, president trump? no, i'm his cousin, donald j. trump. ( laughter ) and as for all trump's lies, social media (bleep) him again because, while he was in meetings, a member of the golf club tweet add picture of trump in his full golf outfit. if you're wondering how some random dude got close enough to the president to take this picture, it's because trump told the secret service, according to this post, we can trust him, he's a republican. ( applause ) it's priceless! the man is breaking trump's trust while h

trump tweeting former presidentr obama order trump's offices wire tapped but president obama's's spokesperson is calling the claim false. fox's kristin fisher reports. tweet from president trumpom p jolting the world awake. in a bombshell accusation, the president accusing thenen president obama of tapping hisng phones during the electionct tweeting quote, terrible.ribl just found out that obama had my wires tapped in trump towers just before the victory. nothing found. this is ma cartism and how lock has president obama gone to tap my phones during the very sacred election process, this is nixon, watergate, bad or sick guy. the tweet seems to referencefere story frontal system friday that brought up an unsubstantiated u report from 2016 that the obamaa administration wire tapped p trump tower.ump the accusations are causing a fire storm from both sides of the yea. i don't know if it's true or not, but if it is true, illegally it would be the biggest political scandal since watergate. a cardinal rule of the obamama administration is that no white house official ever with any independent inves

agents who had to go through trump's tweets. me new guy. he's, like, hey! new guy! investigate donald trump's wiretap tweets! after that, there is some highly sensitive information inside my dog's butt. ha ha. take it around the block, see if he drops any hot leads. ( laughter ) my favorite part of this long-ass hearing was, even though the words coming out of comey's mouth were bad for donald trump, the president still managed to hear something totally different. >> during the middle of the hearing, the president sent out a tweet. he said, "the n.s.a. and the f.b.i. are telling congress that russia did not influence the electoral process." well with, shortly after he said that, actually, a member of congress asked the f.b.i. director if that was true. >> i've got a tweet from the president an hour ago saying the fast and f.b.i. tell congress that russia did not influence the electoral process. so that's not quite accurate, that tweet? >> wav any information on that subject. that's not something that was looked at. ( audience rea

any, about trying to examine the president would need to get up and tweet about this, i wonder. >> well, breaking news, donald trumpes to tweet what he thinks and feels and what's going on in his mind. and he's been doing it a long time so there's no surprise here. a lot of people were caught very much off guard by this. but my conversations with h saturday, he was extremely confident about the information. he was angry. this did not seem like something he was sort of bantering about. like something about ted cruz' father or something like that. this was very serious. >> he spent any number of years talking that about the illegal immigrants. so don't say they're casual remarks. they were serious charges. he was on the birther patrol for years. >> well, let's make it clear, i'll not here to represent the president. nor the white house. i'm just speaking as an individual who is friends with the president but also runs a media agency. i took it seriously. i think we should take the allegations seriously. i also think the president should produce some evidence at some point that supports the allegation. but let's remem

alienating all those trump voters in their districts and so they didn't say anything about the tweet. because they couldn't. they couldn't find a line of defense for donald trump on the tweet. they treated him as if he was guilty of lying in the tweet and there was nothing they could do about it. but they were going to let their constituents hear them attacking the democrats in some way. they were going to let their constituents hear them complaining about something. they wanted to do what donald trump always does when backed into a corner. complain of unfairness. and so the republicans in that committee said nothing today that sounded like agreements with the democrats. everything they said was a complaint against the most unfair force in donald trump's world, the news media. that terrible dishonest media that accepts accurate leaks. whenever they can get them from the intelligence community. from others in government. from anywhere. not one of those republicans raging about the leaks that took down michael flynn actually said one word in defense of michael flynn. so every member of
