"the new york times" is now reporting that pruitt met face-to-face with a washington lobbyist whose wife rented him a capitol hillo for just $50 a night. now this goes against earlier statements by the epa that the two men had never met. so far, the reporting is exclusive to "the new york times" and we should note that the "times" is also reporting that the meeting was personal, had nothing to do with lobbying. pruitt is now facing ten separate investigations into his use of taxpayer dollars and ethical violations. members of congress are calling on pruitt to resign. his round the clock security detail apparently joined him on family trips to disneyland and college football games. white house budget director mick mulvaney seas tays the white hos looking into the allegations. congresswoman, thank you so much for being with us. first, i want to get your reaction to this new report from the "new york times" accusing pruitt of meeting with a lobbyist whose wife rented pruitt that $50 a night condo. >> well, ana, thank you so much for inviting me. i tell you what, unethical behavior just continues to swirl around mr.

new york times" reports the latest attempt came in disease. that may be why there is a renewed bipartisan effort to protect the special counsel on capitol hill evenh republicans don't seem that worried at all. >> i have no reason to believe that that's going to have. i've been talking to people in the white house about it. >> the president is not talking about firing mueller. i've had conversations with the mueller. >> it would be a mistake, a grave mistake by the president to fire robert mueller. >> it would be a big problem. >> i don't think he's going to be removed from his office. he shouldn't be removed from the office. >> it would be suicide for the president to want to talk about firing mueller. >> i'm confident that would be the beginning of the end of his presidency and he's not going to do that. >> this is all a far cry from the very calm and calculated focus the president talked about in his first tweet of the day. our big question on this story is are republicans prepared to make good on their warnings to the president not to fire robert mueller? pete williams is nbc's justice correspondent. phil rucker is the white house bureau chief

new york times," he was a special government employee. he had access to the fbi. we presume he had full clearanc clearance. he did not disclose that. frankly, there's no one on capitol hill who thinks this was the first and only time james comey used daniel richman to leak information to the press. my guess is he used did it a handful of times. >> on cnn, director comey was asked about these issues, he says any kind of claim that he mishandled classified information was "frivolous disconnect." what seems clear is that director comey gave them to at least three people and did so shortly after he was fired from the fbi. melissa. >> melissa: such a great comparison. it gives you context on what we are talking about. terrific carriage, for more on this, john radcliffe for the for the house judiciary committee, former u.s. attorney. what do you make of that last point? lawmakers, he was freely sharing information that was tangentially related and then leaked it. >> good to be with you, melissa. i thought the interview that jim called me gave last night and that he said he is not concerned about any jeopardy or for lying but when you start adding lawyers to your legal team lik

hill. >> joyce vance thank you for joining us. she is a professor at the university of alabama law school and former u.s. attorney. and "new york times" adam pewso, one of the reporters who has broken this latest story. >>> up next, despite sharing he is among the 87 million facebook users whose personal information fell into the hands of cambridge analytic, a data analysis firm hired by the trump campaign zuckerberg is facing tough questioning from the house committee. a congressman joins me after the break. i'm in the field . while this was burning, you were saving other homes. neighbors helping neighbors and strangers alike. - this is what america's about. - sometimes it's nice to see all the good that's out there. bringing folks out, we have seen it in community after community. this time, it's his turn. you have 4.3 minutes to yourself. this calls for a taste of cheesecake. philadelphia cheesecake cups. rich, creamy cheesecake with real strawberries. find them with the refrigerated desserts. you know what's not awesome? gig-speed internet. with real strawberries. when only certain people can get it. let's fix that. let's give th

hill laid them out. you heard them from jeff bennett. you heard it in richard engel. he at the same time is distracted by what's happening in new york with michael cohen, distracted by what's happening in his justice department. how does that play into what's going to unfold here today? you've got to imagine the president staying closely connected to the drama unfolding back home? >> yeah. he's at mar-a-lago, which is sort of his playground. he likes to hang out and mingle with his friends and paying club members. he's going to be distracted, i'm sure. i know the japanese want his undivided attention but president trump is so fixated on what's going on in new york with michael cohen, on the comey book. remember, on friday when he was making that final decision last week to authorize the military strike in syria, he was focused on comey and he was helping sarah sanders figure out how to attack comey in the press briefing and tweeting about comey. he's really focused on these kind of shiny objects in the media. the question later today is whether he can focus entirely on foreign policy and some of the challenges facing the country. >>

new york. but having the politics of all of this swirling around at the same time. meanwhile, this is a week ahead of jim comey's book. it's as these investigations are going on on capitol hill. mueller has to know he crosses the line in at least the president's mind is he's negotiating with the president to sit down, by doing this. you wonder, how do you get to the point. >> yeah. the president's speech was amazing. greatest hits. he went through comey, hillary clinton, lies, jeff sessions recusal, mueller, rosenstein. recitation of the greatest hits. obviously he's upset. as brit hume mentioned, the only crime we know of that might be connected is an fec violation. over here, trump starting with collusion with russia. and now we're looking at a private attorney of the president and rated by the fbi. it's a pretty dramatic increase in the stakes of this investigation. i would not be surprised. the other thing everyone has told trump not to do is to fire bob mueller. i suspect he might be going on his own gut now and thinking i've been right all along. i might want to do it. >> bret: put this in context. this is a live presidential statement about a raid on his personal atto

new york state common core tests. i took the sat. the i did take my spent time. i did the parks desk, i did curriculum by pearson, core knowledge, mcgraw-hill and what you keep seeing over and over again are the exact same assignments where kids are given a passage of text, informational text and they have to provide evidence, is the first anchor standard and standards two through nine are the specific spate of questions about what kind of evidence from the text you are looking for. so it's extremely formulaic. and it's consistent, so this is not an implementation problem, this is your doing the common core anchor standard as interpreted by their lead writer. so now i think we got the clue to look to see what it means that other academic subjects aligned with the common port.so, in court, the next generation science standards that you print up, they almost all, on every page there is a common core connection. there's a box and pretty much every time one of the connections is the first ela anchor standard. so maybe you can sort of anticipate what common core or what next generation standards are to look like. you passage of text about scienc

new york times" reports certain epa officials were penalized for questioning pruitt's spending and management. according to that paper, some of those officials had very close ties to the trump white house and to republicans on the hill. also new, "the washington post" reporting tonight two epa officials confirmed that pruitt endorsed the idea last month of giving big pay raises to two close aides. nbc news has also learned that president trump as recently as last week had been considering replacing attorney general, jeff sessions, with scott pruitt. but administration officials tell us that's unlikely now, given recent reports about pruitt's conduct. and today when he was asked about it on air force one, trump said, quote, scott is doing a great job where he is. this morning, the white house deflected when asked about what it plans to do, if anything, about him. >> i can't speak to the future of scott pruitt. i can just talk about where we are now. and that is that the white house is aware of these reports. we're obviously looking into those. >> the pruitt situation is the latest to test donald trump's promise to drain the swamp, a slogan that's changed in meaning since the 2016 campaign. >> when we win on november
