robert miller and refused. don't trump said that was fake news when donald trump announced he thought this was the end of his presidency when jeff sessions wouldn't recuse himself he said that was fake news and interestingly enough one little nugget that came out remember when james komi was fired cedar sunder said in the briefing room not far from where i'm standing that one of the reasons they fired him was because he liked support among ordinary f.b.i. staff and she told robert miller's investigators that wasn't based on anything it was essentially made up and in the past in another time that would probably have led to a resignation now don fisher at the white house thank you and back now with steve clemons in our washington news and he is the editor at large of the hill has been with us as we've digested everything that's coming out and it's kind of pretty thick and fast can i go back to maybe something first of all that allan mentioned about robert mueller himself what do you think is the likelihood of us

speech earlier on a news conference earlier on in the day and the intent of the special counsel robert miller it's for the specific reason that we are now going to have the chorus increasing from members of congress for robert mueller himself to come to congress and publicly testify about his writing of the document and the conclusions that he came to i must stress as well in looking at the document that robert miller making very clear that there were certain procedural elements restraining him in terms of what he does making very clear that if you was not able to reach a clear conclusion then he would not do so he would leave that to the department of justice what is also very clear in this document is that there are a large number of ongoing investigations some of which it would appear despite the censorship despite the redactions do include members of the campaign and could include close members of president trump's family so very clearly the news lines emerging from this will be taking a look at them in the hours to come we'll have reports throughout the day my colleagues looking at the r

says isn't going to change your mind and if you're a donald trump supporter and you accept what robert miller says and what the president has been saying since the very beginning and seems now to be vindicated by what's in this report then you will believe that the last two years has been a waste of time a waste of money and essentially a witch hunt to quote donald trump today this was presidential harassment and bill baka seem to support that by saying the president was trying to do is job he was perhaps guilty more of trying to defend himself than any sort of obstruction but certainly don't trump is about to head off tomorrow live in florida in a few hours time for the easter break here in the u.s. and you can expect that he'll be having a very nice east. break but it will be interesting when we get to read the details all of that report of the things that may say don't will trump and specifically who spoke to robert miller and said that the president said this the president did this i'm will that elicit any backlash from donald trump against current or former members of his white house stu

conference detailing key aspects of his release of the reports redacted copies of special counsel robert miller's report into alleged russian interference in the twenty sixteen presidential election campaign to be made public shortly it's only general said that the report confirms that no americans and no one in the trump campaign colluded with russia to influence the election like on the question of whether president trump attempted to thwart the investigation like the attorney general said he concluded that the president's motives were known corrupt and that influenced his decision not to bring charges for obstruction of justice so here it is as any general william. as the special counsel report makes clear the russian government sought to interfere in our election process but thanks to the special counsel's thorough investigation we now know that the russian operatives who perpetrated the schemes did not have the cooperation of president trump or the trump campaign or the knowing assistance of any other american for that matter that is something that all americans can and should be grateful to

it's not so much that robert miller phone no collusion no obstruct.

it details how donald trump tried to have robert miller fired. d trump tried to have robert millerfired. but it details how donald trump tried to have robert miller fired. but will it change anybody‘s mind? i think those who think that donald trump is unfit to be president will be reaffirmed in the particular view, having read the report and those who think that donald trump is doing a good job, and this was a hoax and a witch hunt or take solace from the fa ct witch hunt or take solace from the fact that the attorney general says no laws were broken. —— tried to have robert mueller fired. no laws were broken. —— tried to have robert muellerfired. my no laws were broken. —— tried to have robert mueller fired. my report contains very strong language. a watershed moment for this president and maybe the presidency itself. donald trump was at the white house meeting wounded warriors today. before his two year long battle with robert mueller, he feels he has emerged unscathed with his reputation intact. i'm having a good day as well. it was called no c

relations and specifically how moscow is getting along with washington and indeed ever since the robert miller investigation was done and dusted and any kind of collusion between russia and donald was ruled out we never heard a word from vladimir putin on that specifically well that's up until today. we were saying from the beginning to this minute commission would not find anything russia did not interfere in the u.s. elections and there was none of the collusion that money was looking for between trump and russia we did not know when he came to moscow and he came as a businessman this is complete nonsense designed exclusively for a domestic audience. nothing really to add here it was very clear what the russian president wanted to say here and the next turn in that conversation was rather predictable as well if the robert miller probe is over and if no signs of collusion between washington and mr trump were filed what's next for the between the u.s. and moscow what's next and terms of how specifically the two presidents get along will lattimer putin accept donald trump's invitation that date

they want to listen to robert miller himself. they want to get him to testify. that —— robert mueller. but there is a big dilemma. the fundamental question of collusion has been answered. the president did not collude, that's his headline and he has already shaped the narrative at this point. the white house is aware of this, if the democrats push this too far, they could end up being the beneficiaries. because it will start to look like a political witchhunt, now that the big report, this 400 plus page report, has been delivered, most of those answers have been given. what more can be democrats do with this? jane o'brien in front of a white house that is, like the rest of washington, calming down ahead of the easter weekend. thanks. today's report made it clear the russian government did interfere in the 2016 presidential election. in a " and systematic fashion." for more, i am joined now by former cia officer lindsay moran. thanks very much forjoining us. what more have we learnt about what russia did? well, we haven't learnt a lot more about the specifics of

but special counsel robert miller a stopped short of charging trump he could not reach a concrete legal conclusion that obstruction had taken place donald trump says the report. the end of a hoax but democrats say there are still questions that have to be investigated. game over that's what donald trump tweeted after the release in redacted form of the miller report he appears to think his worries are over arriving in florida for the easter break he was characteristically bullish. the report found trump made numerous attempts to obstruct the investigation into alleged russian meddling in the twenty sixteen election but miller said he could not conclusively determine the trump had committed a criminal act he also detailed extensive contacts between the trump campaign and russia but said they too didn't amount to a criminal conspiracy trumps advisor kellyanne conway said it was case closed after accepting apologies to anybody who feels the phrase offering that there was no collusion and there certainly was no criminal conspiracy to that report makes very clear that this white house and th

check out this despicable video of and msnbc reporter ambushing robert miller. >> will you testify beforemments. >> if he were anyone but the president, would mr. trump be indicted? now that you've finished. >> sir, why didn't you make out recommendation to commerce one way or the other? >> to the attorney general accurately characterize your positions on conspiracy and obstruction? >> i think it's accurate to characterize director mueller as being tight-lipped in response to my questions. [laughter] >> jesse: even i, would not ambush someone coming out of church on easter sunday. >> greg: are you sure? >> jesse: we didn't have a lot of rules with those ambushes. one rule was you don't ever ambush anybody on a religious holiday. >> greg: that is bigoted. atheists don't have any protection. >> jesse: sorry. >> greg: that's not fair. so i don't go to church. that's just wrong. >> jesse: you're going to get it, greg. >> juan: it's a public sidewalk. he's not in the church. it's not in the pews. he can ask the guy. it is one answer. >> jesse: i agree. listen, i've got people coming out of aa

and russian election middling, the report from robert miller. the bottom line was that mr. mueller found no evidence that president donald trump campaign conspired with the russians to help with the election. >> after nearly 2 years of investigation, thousands of subpoenas, hundreds of warrants and witness interviews, the special counsel confirmed that the russian government sponsored efforts to illegally interfere with the 2016 presidential election. but did not find that the trump campaign or other americans colluded in those efforts. gerry: if you thought that would finally bury the controversy for the last two years, you did not read did you? because immediately seized on parts of the trumpet the president and his allies in a certain light. that they may have obstructed justice. and so, safe in the knowledge of the argument will continue to rage on all the way to the next election if not beyond. this week we will take a different tag and mark easter and passover weekend with consideration of spiritual realm.i sat on earlier this week with cardinal timothy dolan. the rom

robert miller injune of 2017.er he was appointed. he made two phone calls to his white house counsel while he was at camp david. the first call and then the second call, let me read this to you, or second call, let me read this to you, 01’ core second call, let me read this to you, or core rod, said the president. that is the deputy in charge of mueller at the time. tell rod that mueller has conflicts and cannot be the special counsel, recalled the president. telling him that will has to go. to call me back when it's done. don mcgann instructed by the president twice in these course to get rod rosenstein to fire robert mueller. it seems from the narrative that done talk to the chief of staff and to steve bannon and said and i quote and i am paraphrasing, the president is asking me to do some crazy stuff, although he did not use the word stuff. i'm sure he didn't. it's interesting because that is confirmation of a lot of issues we we re confirmation of a lot of issues we were reporting on at the time but we are now

not going to be him personally looking into that if he were to appoint somebody like let's say robert miller again to investigate another killer collusion do you think that would have more credence in your eyes no i think at the end of the day. highly doubtful that he'll do. just making political points you know the american electoral campaign has already begun we're going to have to suffer through it for the next eighteen months and so everything becomes khaled you know including foreign policy but professor brennan help me understand here because for the last two years did democrats have been making political points about the miller invest. nation why is it not ok to lead the republicans do the same and settle die suspicions through the investigative process because there are real issues about the the provenance of the still dos here and whether or not it was used to get fives or warrants etc why those issues are not serious enough to be looked into given that the last two years respond in two investigating as likes to say and nothing burger or more nothing burger. actually trumps from fra

just another horse and pony show anything to the show that that there was something there that robert miller found something there because robert mueller used to be the hero of the democrats being the one investigating trump and russia collusion and now that it's wrong they're going to paint him as an enemy so they're either going to try to paint him as an enemy or to find anything they can with leading questions and some kind of show just to show the american people that either he's an enemy or he was a friend and was forced by the trump administration to stop this both of which are lies and but they're going to try to save face because right now it's all a saving face game ok dennis i will leave it lots and lots to talk discuss jennifer agreed the international and human rights attorney thank you very much for coming on to the program good to heal views on this thank you. you too. know greece decided to step up its demand for germany to pay world war two reparations to the sum of maybe three hundred billion euros since has long been seeking compensation for the nazi iraqi patients but berl

during an election campaign robert ray is a former us independent counsel the previous title to robert miller's position he says impeachment proceedings during an election could be difficult. now with the release of the redacted report it appears as if it's certainly possible that the position of the democrats may well change i don't think that they have too long before they have to decide one way or the other whether they're going to be commencing impeachment proceedings and of course weighed against that is the fact that the presidential election in the united states is now just eighteen months away it's an obviously difficult thing to be conducting an impeachment inquiry in the middle of a presidential election cycle and also one of the things that may happen as soon as next week once as expected joe biden is likely to enter the presidential race the first question he's going to be asked as the likely front runner just as a list of if warren was asked is the question about whether or not he supports an effort in the house of representatives to commence impeachment proceedings over the course

with russia in the two thousand and sixteen election the four page summary of special counsel robert miller's report says that no further indictments will be made that has led the president to claim total exoneration despite that though the report summary does contain information and maintained that the kremlin carried out cyber activities aimed at influencing the election but according to the u.s. secretary of state that is not the full extent of moscow's meddling in american affairs on wednesday that russia has interfered in every u.s. presidential vote since two thousand and four with commentary here's our gusta. for two years they dug and dug investigated and questioned as sad as it may be trump is not a russian agent who so they think but officially russia gave collusion was a hook for the style if you only knew just how much conclusion there was in the past do you believe russia interfered with the twenty six thousand u.s. general election yes they did in the two thousand and twelve and the two thousand and eight thank you and the tea literally or that is a bold claim especially given t

to defend the works coverage of alleged from russia collusion this comes after special counsel robert miller found no evidence of russia gates' however tappers claim the news channel got nothing wrong was challenged by fellow journalists. something president trump has repeatedly denied or something that looks and smells a whole lot like collusion. on our report was great it could not have been better and said no it structured no closure it could not have been vetted. i'm not sure what you're saying the media got wrong. the polls are wrong facts were out i think never get one for you facts that we put out. i don't know anybody who got anything wrong we didn't say that there was conspiracy we said the mother was investigating conspiracies. that surface i will back in thirty minutes with the latest global news updates. with no let me get this manufactured consent to consume to the public will. when the rooming closest to protect themselves. with the flaming. lips is only the one person. we can all middle of the room sick moves. to move the real news is. so security council should have a mandato

fearing his presidency was doomed furious donald trump demanded that robert miller be fired before the special counsel pushed further in his investigation into the twenty sixteen presidential election that's one of the findings in mona's report which has finally been released to the public although some parts have been censored it's clear trump of colluding with russia during the campaign but has raised serious questions about whether he obstructed justice or we live in washington in a moment but first this report by alan fischer. president trump went ahead with a planned event at the white house enjoying according to aides the best piece is his election i'm having to take you who's called. no collusion no obstruction. the bestie since his election he did earlier just his supporters to watch the attorney general's news conference and within minutes of it ending tweeted out the message he's been repeating for twenty two months no collusion no obstruction the president might hope that it's game over but it's not the white house and its republican allies will keep pushing the message that

there were lots of people who are upset that based on robert miller, based on their understanding of cts on robert mueller, based on their understanding of the facts that president of the united states has committed crimes both of conspiracy and obstruction, and robert mueller, i think is in many ways beyond reproach, said look, out in 488 pages, it may be unsatisfying to some people, particularly political opponents of the president, but if the facts of the law are not there then the facts in the law are not there. so you saying in essence, whether we're talking about the ability to hold to account some of the titans of wall street who were responsible for the crash, or at least very much involved in some of the decisions that lead to the crash or indeed if we're talking investigation of the trump administration, the law is an ass. no, i'm not saying that the law is an ass. we prosecute what we can prosecute. lawmakers could decide in the uk or elsewhere that if you are the head of an organisation and something happens on your watch and your negligent, right, the standard of proof be

so-called miller report it contains the findings from a long running inquiry by special counsel robert miller into allegations of collusion between donald trump's twenty sixteen presidential campaign and the russian government now in late march barr released a four page summary of the report to congress his summary said that the mother investigation did not find any coordination between trump's campaign and russia democrats are now hoping that the release will shed more light on trump's alleged attempts to quash the investigation. well for more let's bring in our salad who is standing by with the latest from washington oliver we just heard there the attorney general due to give a news conference shortly ahead of the release of this report what can we expect that he might say well everything we know so far is based on the assumptions of the attorney general william barr as you've just said in the news that there was no conspiracy between the u.s. president and russian and the russian government structure of justice mahler reportedly did not come to a conclusion which while then later delved in

the panel discussion didn't stop there of course he wanted to find out what's next now that the robert miller investigation is done and dusted and vax mr putin had quite a few things to say about something that he sees as a true political crisis within the u.s. he believes that in the near future there won't be an end to this he believes that something that's been happening to the west president donald trump is absolutely unprecedented and u.s. history according to the russian president yes usually there was a lot of wrangling a lot of political competition something that's very tough during the election but he believes usually in the history of the u.s. the american people always united around their president and this time it's not happening so for him it's still very difficult to predict what's going on next gen when he was asked a direct question whether he would like donald trump to get a second term as president well mr putin refused to answer that question now there was also another reason why this panel at the international arctic forum story was special because it was attended by the

moderate panel discussion didn't stop there of course he wanted to find out what's next now that the robert miller investigation is done and dusted and that mr putin had quite a few things to say about something that he sees as a true political crisis within the u.s. he believes that in the near future there won't be an end to this he believes that something that's been happening to the u.s. president donald trump is absolutely unprecedented in u.s. history according to the russian president. is part of a wider crisis in the us political system and the gruesome attack villages a million elected president they don't accept the choice of the american people they want to overturn the result is a political crisis unlike anything we've seen in u.s. history. now there was also another reason why this panel at the international arctic forum story was special it's because it was attended by the heads of state from norway and sweden and perhaps as you know these two countries joined the chorus of western nations who were trying to isolate russia as a result of the crisis in ukraine twenty fourteen well aga

the team was going on between moscow and washington and you're absolutely right ever since the robert miller probe was done and dusted we never heard any kind of reaction to it from vladimir putin well up until today. which is not yet in a good way to tell us we were saying from the beginning to this commission would not find anything russia did not interfere in the u.s. elections and there was none of the collusion that money was looking for between trump and russia we did not know when he came to moscow he came as a businessman this is complete nonsense designed exclusively for a domestic audience. nothing to add for me here vladimir putin was very clear about what he meant by that but the next turn in the conversation was quite obvious the moderator wondered that if there had been no proof of the russian collusion is there now a possibility that a lot of more potent could come to washington or possibly that the us russia ties could start at least gradually or in some way again start getting back to normal well of a lot of our putin said that he wasn't really hoping that much would change

presidential election remember last month the summary of the report prepared by special counsel robert miller did clear president donald trump and his campaign of colluding with moscow but still plenty of other accusations kimberly how it has the details now from washington. we need these materials to fulfill our constitutional obligations a full and unredacted look at special counsel robert muller's report into donald trump and his political and business circles that's what congressional democrats are demanding and on wednesday voted for the justice department to turn over this committee requires the full report and the underlying materials because it is our job not the attorney generals to determine whether or not president trump as abused his office democrats on the judiciary committee in the house of representatives are furious the attorney general william bar appointed by president trump did not meet their april second demand to turn over the report whether trump and his team colluded with russia during the twenty six thousand election campaign or obstructed justice during the investigat

broad rosenstein has submitted his resignation he is the official who appointed special counsel robert miller to investigate president trump's election campaign and he also supported the justice department's conclusion that the president had not obstructed mahler's investigation the resignation has been expected for some time. now president trump is suing deutsche bank to stop it from handing over financial records about his dealings with the lender congressional oversight committee subpoenaed the documents in march for years the german lender has been and sometimes only creditor financing many of his construction projects democrats in congress say they want to investigate possible financial ties between trump and russia and gain general knowledge of the president's finances trump has been secretive about details of his finances and has refused to make refused to make his tax returns public. let's bring in our correspondent in frankfurt is standing by for us hi i should toss now the president of the u.s. is suing germany's biggest lender what does this mean for deutsche bank. well to me it me

the representatives and the senators and as you said now it is up to congress because robert miller did not exonerate donald trump either can donald trump put the allegations of collusion behind him now or is there really a way forward for democrats to pursue an investigation and also some dissenting republicans perhaps i think that the pollution part is possibly the weakest here because it could be shown that of course they have been contact and talks but to prove that there has been a cooperation according nation of activities. to have russia interfere into the into the campaign is difficult if not impossible so then there might be not be a conclusion of that sort but what about a way forward for impeachment proceedings for example because they don't have to prove criminal action there but rather the president is unfit for the office. the leadership of the democratic party has already said even in the in the house of representatives they're not really eager to pursue that because they know that in the end the senate must approve and the senators are like pro trump they don't want to k
