the president, everybody, mueller, house democrats who are now in charge in new york district and new york justice departmentand southern district, they're all coming at him. they're coming at his kid, his soi son-in-law, they're coming at his past business practices. congressman, you have do know this is political war, you have a red line going after my past business and you're not going after my family. we're going to war and he's saying he's not give you nothing, we're going to stonewall you. your thoughts? >> thank you, chris, for your question. first thing i want the american people to ask why is the trump administration hiding information from the american people? the reason there are all of these investigations and the fact the house judiciary committee cast a wide net is because for the last two years, it looks like there's been a wide array of misconduct in what appears to be potential criminal behavior by donald trump, his family and his associates, and we need to conduct our oversight duties and investigate all of those incidents. >> do you accept the red line he put up, no focus on my family, no

new york, for those who do not watch "billions," can be a clunky and misleading title. so having established that, what is your reporting on the status of the southern district of new york, the justice departmentau? >> well, my reporting suggests what you just said, that everything the southern district is looking into, which ranges from trump's foundation, to his finances, to his business, potentially poses even more legal jeopardy for him than mueller's probe. and i was speaking a couple days ago with preet bharara who, of course, used to be the u.s. attorney for sdny, and he said he agrees and he thinks the work the southern district is doing is more dangerous for trump because the southern district doesn't have the same circumscribed mandate. that mueller does. mueller was tasked with looking at links and/or coordination between russia and the trump campaign and maybe obstruction of justice. but the southern district can look at anything it wants. and because of that, trump could be facing a lot of legal problems, legal questions, whenever he leaves office. >> and jeff, because you've been both a fed and a former employee of the manhattan d.a., help us sort out the notion that the manhatta

new york. >> the justice department is disagreeing with chairman nadler's interpretation. >> those are shocking allegations that have come out. and for me they underscore the importance of congress continuing its oversight role. you know, it'sig been two years that we haven't really seen congress exercise its oversight role. continuing to have hearings and continuing to look into this situation is important. it's also important that we protect the mueller investigation and allow it to finish, and that we see the results when it's done. we need to get to the truth, to the bottom of this matter. >> let me ask you, if i can, obviously you serve on the ways and means committee. today the treasury secretary, steve mnuchin, came before that committee and was asked about president trump's tax returns. here was his answer. >> if i receive a request, which i presume, from what i've read in the press, i will receive, i will consult with the legal department within treasury and i will follow the law. >> congresswoman, is that enough for you? >> everybody past president has releasedpr their tax returns. i

nbc news reporting that house judiciary chairman jerry nadler of new york has contacted the justice department to set a date for william barr to testify on the mueller report. also today, six democratic committee chairs, including nadler, elijah cummings, adam schiff, sent a letter to barr demanding he submit mueller's full report to congress by april 2. the lawmakers told barr his summary was not sufficient for congress. peter baker of the "new york times" writes that the president is emboldened and angry after barr's summary and adds this, not indicted or not impeached may not have been much of a bumper sticker in times past, but in today's polarized political environment, each side sees these issues through its own lens. this as maggie habermann of the times is among those pointing out that even though mueller's investigation is complete, a legal threat will continue to loom over trump's presidency with federal and state investigations. quote, most of the investigations focus on president trump or his family business or a cadre of his advisers and associates, they are being conducted by off

justice department, it won't be bringing any futicure indents. that doesn't preclude either the main justice department or thern soutistrict of new york or other elementsthe justice department from bris,ing indictmend i think is very possible given the number of redactions in the mueller pleadings that suggest other investigations that are still ongoing. but the last point that i want to make because it addresses the conversationbeou were having re i came online is this issue of does the department share information about people not indicted, and i's important for people to know that, during the last congress, th justice department shared over 880,000 pages of discovery with the congress, in an investigation in which no one was indicted -- about hillary clinton, about bruce orr, peter strack, page, mccabe and others -- and did so because of intense public interest and because congress insisted on transparency. as told them at the me, they are not getting away with a double standard. if the congress changes ha as it has, we will insist on the oame level of transparency as this even more important investigation. sohe department may speak in generalities

new york. the justice department guidelines that you cannot indict a sitting president. donald trump is not going to be president for the rest of his life. i know we're waiting for the mueller investigation to wrap up. we're waiting for the potential that could be -- there could be more bombshells. i think we need to be prepared for the fact that we could wait a while. these could be investigations open for quite some time. we may not see movement on them. there may be cards that prosecutors in new york decide to hold close to their vest until donald trump is no longer president. i don't know if you are him how you go to sleep every night and don't think about that. >> who else could it be? roger stone was not involved in the hush money to these women. it wasn't paul manafort being involved. it wasn't michael flynn. the only person who was involved in this conspiracy was michael cohen and donald trump. the southern district has filed papers in the cohen case saying trump was involved. trump has to be all over -- >> what about david pecker and american media? >> they coul

new york. in effect, the new york branch of the justice department. though, with that in mind where do you place all of this from the house of representatives as an existential threat to this presidency? >> so this is an interesting topic because mueller's been conducting the inquiry with, number one, a very limited remit. remember that was the parameters of that involved russia and criminal collusion. southern district of new york has a couple of -- a number of cases but they're conducting it through proper grand jury proceedings, much of it in secrecy. now we're going to see a very public display of all things bad for trump. and my thinking here is that multiple. first, to what degree is trump going to be able to restrain himself from his public lashing he's about to see play out as friends, associates, colleagues get called, even family members get called even subpoenaed to testify? but also the public optics of this is going to be very interesting. to what degree is nadler and judiciary committee and the other committees ready to say this is a cre

. >> you refer to the trump tower meeting in new york city, the justice department guidelines, you're correct, they can't indict a sitting president but can indict senior aides to a president. clearly since there are not any more indictments coming from the special counsel team, others that participated in that meeting are not about to be indicted, the president's son-in-law, for example, jared kushner. he was there, he is not going to be indicted. te president's son, donald trump jr. is not going to be indicted. what does that say? >> that is good news for the president and his team. it says they didn't have sufficient proof or there wasn't proof they knew going into it they knew what the meeting was about or the meeting, i don't think anybody believes it was about adoptions. the president wrote that excuse for his sons, it was about getting dirt on hillary clinton. maybe they didn't follow up on it afterwards. maybe they got the information, should have called the fbi, that was a misdeed, but wasn't a criminal offense, and that may be what it was, too. but it is almost like again, l

new york or elsewhere. remember this, according to justice department rules, a sitting president cannot be indicted. an official says mueller is comprehensive. barr says he may give congress the special counsel's principle conclusions as soon as this weekend. congress may not get full scope of the investigation, at least not yet. evan perez has this report. >> the question is, how much detail is barr going to be able to get into when he provides his own, what we call the barr report, essentially, to members of congress. this weekend is the first time he is going to be able to brief them on the principal conclusions of the report. how detailed will that be? it's important to underscore that. no more indictments. that's important for the president. the investigation that is clouded his administration since the beginning of his presidency. the president can begin to probably breathe easier that the idea that his vindication is coming. he knows that, so far, from the mueller investigation, the public information that's been released by robert mueller, there's been nothing that comes close to what looks

i think we just need to keep in mind that the southern district of new york still does reside within the justice department. as far as the two matters that are described in the attorney general's letter, i think we have ongoing senate intelligence investigations that still are looking at russian influence. i think the conclusions drawn by the special counsel's office will perhaps help chairman burr if his report is leaning towards also identifying that there was no so-called collusion or connection between the trump campaign and the russian government or russian surrogates involved in influencing the election. and i think on obstruction, there's going to be a big fight with the hill. on obstruction, congress is going to ask for certainly the report but also more underlying information. i also just want to comment for a minute, wolf, on the interview you had with senator coons, just to draw the distinction between the way that senator coons characterized bob mueller and his investigation. senator coons was probably surprised by some of the result in this let eveter, but he stil exhibited a respect for the s

investigations which he sent them information, such as is virginia,n new york, the attorney general's office and justice department has an investigation going on as well. that catholic it's the picture of what could be released. and what will be made public. and what congress can do. but the democrats are certainly going to push. they're going to try to investigate. emma: senior u.s. officials began talks with china as both sides work to reach a deal to avoid escalation of their eight-month trade war. our china correspondent tom mackenzie joined us from the forum and hainan ahead of the diplomatic talks. >> there certainly stepping up their discussions. sense ofying to get a the direction of the travel of these talks. we are expecting the focus to be ,n this enforcement mechanism how they deliver that. and also the question of tariffs. china is very keen to get some of these tariffs removed. what we heard from president trump over the last few weeks is that he is determined to keep them in place. there is a friction there that needs to be resolved. uchi is in beijing. n. the executive vice president we are in the
