jeremy paul. very sorry about the late time we're getting started on something of this magnitude because i've got a lot of people here that want to talk to you. and there were a lot more people here earlier that had to leave and go home to family responsibilities. i've spoken to them in the hall and asked them to be brief in their remarks, but i just want to begin by asking everybody that's near in their support of save mo save -- "save mor mart" to please stand. i appreciate that. this would have been a good case for an earlier format that the board of appeals followed but t where the agencies described because i'm not the best one to describe item 19 h of the public health code and what it means and what it intended to do. i'm sure you'll hear about that from the agency. i want to talk to you about how it's affecting one neighborhood in the bayview. the "save mor mart" was at the corner of lasalle and 3rd for 40 years. they have been a great member of the community. there's a reputation of corne

jeremy bash, former u.s. attorney general joyce vance, chuck rosenberg, former federal prosecutor paul butler and elise jordanformer aide in the george w. bush white house. mike, take us through -- we tried to chunk this story up into bite sized pieces for you. but take us through what these questions say about where the mueller investigation stood at the time that they were shared with mr. trump's legal team. >> if you look at all the 49 questions, you take a step back from it, you see that an investigation that started two years ago looking at russia, questions of election meddling, ties between trump's campaign and russia, is now with the president mainly focused on the questions of obstruction. more than half of the questions they want to ask are related to things the president has done when he was in office. what were his motivations for the firing of comey? what was truly behind these decisions? why is it that the president was so upset when jeff sessions recused himself? what was the president doing to try and influence the investigation? why was loyalty so important? when you step back, you look at th

jeremy peters. both are msnbc contributors. i want to point out senator paul gina haspel on the eve of her getting the vote out of committee today, and then nbc talked to him on the floor -- right off the floor. let's take a look at that. >> supposed to be illegal for the cia into spy on americans. so the question is, did john brennan ask the british intelligence to spy on americans for him? did he ask him to spy on president trump the campaign? >> is the president concerned about this. >> very concerned about this and my concern, gina haspel's been in the highest ranks of the cia. did she know about it? i've sent a letter to her. did the cy cy eavesdrop on the trump campaign when they were in england. >> and you've been reporting on this. the president is concerned on this, too? >> the president and rand paul speak a lot on this subject and what this episode points to is divisions in the white house over who the new cia director should be, and a question of whether or not the president was fully briefed by his staff on what gina haspel did and did not know. r

jeremy diamond, thank you very much. >>> more breaking news. a federal judge here in washington has just rejected former trump campaign chairman paul manafort's attempt to dismiss special counsel robert mueller's criminal case against him. our justice correspondent evan perez has been working this story for us. manafort says mueller's probe has overstepped its legal authority, the judge disagrees. >> that's right. the federal judge says manafort's claim that the special counsel's overstepped his bounds are completely without merit. she says that paul manafort should prepare to go on trial in september here in washington. he's facing charges both here and in northern virginia. let me read to you a little bit of what the judge had to say about this. she said, who had connections to the russian government, who attended meetings on behalf of the campaign? given the combination of his prominence within the campaign and his ties to ukrainian officials supported by an operating out of russia as well as to russian oligarchs, manafort was an obvious person of interest. the special counsel would have been remiss to ignore such an obvious potential link between

and here we have paul ryan allowing this to happen in the light of day. >> joe, i think everything you've said and jeremy said sound right to me except for one thing. it's for the cameras for sure. we saw the tweets yesterday and see what the president is doing, what's happening on the hill. whether we're seeing the beginning of the thing we've talked about and anticipated for months where donald trump decides to move on the mueller investigation where the political activity, the freedom caucus, and the president's motives come together and whether this is the thing that serves as the pretext. when rod rosenstein comes out and says we don't think this was done for political motives. the reason this intelligence asset was put into play was to investigate interference in real time. no nefarious motivation, whether that becomes the thing, joe, that trump uses among house republicans to finally do the step, the step to try to move rosenstein as a way to get to bob mueller. are we on the brink, of the precipice, of that happening? >> yep. >> it's hard to say because, bob costa, at the same time rudy giuliani

jeremy corbyn getting in power. but he now feels betrayed by the conservatives' brexit transition deal, that ties britain into the common fisheries policy for longer. it's gone down about as badly as if paulre now not leaving, we'd all love to know what's so great that we got traded off for. all these coastal communities that could start rebuilding from next year, won't now start rebuilding their fishing businesses and their local communities and local economies until, when? whenever? if we ever leave now, people say. even so... well, katie, iwill vote conservative really, because, they aren't doing a bad job of what limited resources they've got. and it's better the devil you know than the devil you don't know. sometimes it can feel like there are two englands. with the main parties scouring for more votes, while labour's apparently doing well in london, outside of the capital, some voters are looking elsewhere... 0ne crucial thing that happened in the general election last year, and indeed in the local elections a few weeks before that, is that places that voted remain moved strongly towards the labour party. but conversely, places that voted leave were the places where the conservative

. >> jeremy bash, what's this collusion question and to kind of back up to where we started which is pauln assange, rick gates, yooucu kno what happened to the democrats, the president getting up there and saying let's read all of hillary clinton hacked e-mails, i want to see all of these things. how much there, there, do you think there is? >> one of the reasons i don't like the word, collusion, because the president keeps saying no collusion, it conjures up the image of the president, vladimir putin, whispering to each other together constantly all day, every day during the campaign. we know that didn't happen. however, there my have been a conspiracy to violate federal election law. that conspiracy could entame te trump tower meeting with a russian government delegation came to -- it could have been the connections between roger stone, trump's longtime political confidant, and agent of the russian federation, julian assange and wikileaks. could have been the papadopoulos meeting with a russian agent, could have been other connections between other trump campaign officials and russian o

paul was saying looks like it might have a result. it looks like we are going straight to us it, but hopefully we are right. there has been a huge local effort and jeremymomentum has been busting in people from all over has been busting in people from all over the country, it has been a massive target for labour, as it was at the general election and it will be great if we have held it. swindonen is that kind of place where these are, the kind of part of the country where voters swing either way, that is why labour has put a lot of resource in to show they can win those kind of seats outside the big urban centres but what keeps going through my mind, how much things have change since the seats were last contested. it is no the ukip vote has disappeared. we have had the referendum, all of the major parties have changed their leader, labour is transformed. the tories are a different creature under theresa may, what must be in voter's minds? vote conservative clearly. it means it is tight. it that is a seat that the liberal democrats can win. so there is an option for an opportunity for the liberal democrats, because where we have in the past, very strong
