get jeff sessions unrecused. >> robert mueller completed his investigation and was not fired. >> ari melber. >> jay, good afternoon to you. >> hey ari. >> given you represent the president, i would say as a legal matter, congratulations there is some good news in the report for you and for your client. >> thanks. >> let me drill down on two important points we would love to learn from you. the white house counsel received this early copy of, at least a redacted version of the report. if the report is fair and good for you, is it really appropriate for one side that was the subject of the probe to get that early version and when did you receive it and number two, while there is gos.

over to ari melber. ari? >> a couple points, identibeen listening to your coverage with great interest including neal katyal. i want to echo this. the most important words out of this report at a basic level is what mr. katyal was discussing which is, quote, no charges can be brought against the president. no charges can be brought. translation, bill barr was wrong, was incorrect, was misleading, in his letter saying otherwise about mueller. now, they may disagree about this. what barr wrote in his letter, this is someone of the times i'll show you, brian, why we have so much paper. i have the original barr letter here that says, "mueller leaves it, quote, to the attorney general to determine whether there were crimes. now as mr. katyal and others noted, this may be one of the most important things you learn out of the report today, that's no what mueller did. mueller said doj policy prevents him, bob muleellemueller, the a general, anyone, from prosecuting a sitting president and the report was written with

for more on the growing fallout from this scandal, we turn to nbc news legal analyst ari melber ari, thanks for being here i think we have leaned a lot about the lengths people will go to gheir kids into college, from buildings and gifts to university, legal but perhaps up against the line will some of these parents argue that the line is blurry? >> it would be hard to argue the line is blurry for those accused of cheating and direct bribery but one defense we may see is parents that say look, they were trying to get an honest service dialled-in college expert and that person ended up going thefaheever expected. >> important to note, this is a not a victimless crime. >> no. the victims here are the worthwhile students that would have gotten in if these spots weren't effectively stolen by cheating. >> ari melber, good to have you. thank you. >>> to another big headline we're following tonight. joe biden speaking out in a video message, vowing to change his behavior after two more women came forward to accuse him of inappropriate contact nbc's andrea mitchell has the story. >> reporter

i am ari melber. the mueller report is out and very different from when donald trump's attorney general described it the past few weeks. i will i will be joined by a senator that argues it shows attorney barr betrayed his oath of office. how did he approach the task? bob mueller's former chief of staff joins us, plus other experts with firsthand insights. tonight is different because we now have this voluminous report. not a summary. not spin. but the majority of mueller's findings in this partially redacted document. this has far more evidence and details than the theater that began today which brian and i were just discussing. the pre-report press conference with bill barr offering his view of the report, many experts described it this way, under suspicious format. he insisted on offering his opinions before congress or the public had seen a page. we have now learned while barr kept the report from congress, feeding suspicions, he did manage to provide an early copy to the white house and to donald

let's not forget that is the focal point of today, also of counsel to our effort is ari melber who will be a key reader as this comes out, an interpreter of the legal text. ari, what have you got so far? >> good to see you, brian. i've been listening along with all your talented experts. i heard five important things from mr. barr here. number one, he concedes even in this glowing account that, quote, there were multiple disagreements with mueller on policy. he has his strategic reasons for conceding that now. i expect we'll see a lot more of what that might be in the report. so disagreements between barr and mumer. number two, as mentioned, mul r /* no mueller. number three, big headline, brian, they gave a redacted copy of this whole report to the white house early. they may have their reasons and policies for defending that, but that's a headline after mr. barr claimed he would be far more uniform, letting everyone basically see the same thing roughly at the same time. so congress still waiting, the country waiting. we hear from barr on his version of events. but the white house didn

in the meantime, "the beat with ari melber" starts right now. ari, do you read "meet the press" first read every morning? >> best way to start the day every day. >> i do genuinely do that. i'm not just selling it because i'm sitting in this chair do. >> you have anything still in print? >> no, i don't. i have it on my phone which is awful. i like holding a newspaper in my hands much more than reading it off my cell phone. you learn so much more. >> i do a print newspaper every morning, all seven days. >> that's why you, ari melber, are the best. >> always nice to see you, katy. >> you utoo. >>> we have a lot of ground to cover. the house escalating the standoff whether people in congress or around the nation are going to see bob mueller's findings. they have a new plan to specifically force the attorney general, a plan to subpoena him for the full underest dakked report. we'll get into that. and the man who wrote the special counsel rules will be here. he has begun to sound a sort of alarm. he says barr has been deeply troubling in the way he has

and you heard the attorney general there get behind that effort, too. >> ari melber's with me. ari, you are a lawyer. you know that words matter. bill barr is a lawyer. he didn't say that there was surveillance by the fbi of members of the president's campaign. he said spying on the campaign. very short sentence, two parts of which leave room for interpretation. he said, i'm not saying that there were rules -- i'm not saying rules were violated, i'm not say taking was the fbi. i mean, everybody knows, when you say i'm not saying something, you've put that suggestion into people's mind. >> i mean, i'm not saying that you're bald. >> right. but the investigation's not yet proven it. >> but here we are. yeah, look, this is what i'll say. as a reporter, it is not technically inaccurate what mr. barr asserted and referred to. >> correct. >> and then as a human being, i'll tell you this whole thing was ridiculous and a little bit beneath a sitting attorney general of the united states, quite frankly. we all know, it is not breaking news, that there was court-supervised, lawful survei

. >> i'm in for ari melber, everybody. president trump is on the border. we're going to talk to those suing trump. joe biden is raising eyebrows with comments about the 2020 race and a joke about giving hugs. we're going to start with democrats in congress ramping up the pressure with probes into trump's taxes and business dealings. today the president's lawyers told the treasury department that his taxes should not be released to congress, and trump himself claimed the law was on his side. >> oh, i don't know. that's up to whoever handles it. i don't know. hey, i'm under audit, but that's up to whoever it is. from what i understand, the law is 100% on my side. >> so obviously democrats in congress don't agree with that, but in any legal fight they're going to face trump allies in key positions at the irs. reporting the top lawyer at the irs has ties to the trump organization and that putting him in place was a key priority for the president. the probe into trump's finances extending beyond his taxes, though, his accounting firm will reportedly give ten ye

. >> ari melber has been looking through even more of this report. ari. >> that's right. interesting hearing your panel. one thing that we have today when we didn't have when we started the day are president trump's actual written answers to bob mueller. we've touched on them briefly. and chris matthews mentioned it. but we want to focus on the evidence and what is in the mueller report. we want to show you a little bit more. on that pivotal meeting at trump tower, donald trump's answer to the big question, quote, at this point in time, i do not remember whether i spoke or met with donald trump jr., paul manafort or jared kushner on june 9, 2016. my desk calendar indicates i was scheduled to meet with paul manafort on the morning of june 9th but i do not recall if that meeting took place. if that sounds like a handy legal dodge from a president who had many times proclaimed that he was eager to talk to 3450mue, something that ultimately never happened, that dodge we can show you is arrive oig throughout the appendix. take a look for context. 37 different times from what i

ari melber, i understand you've unearthed yet more texts. >> yeah, as we know, this all started with the firing of james comey that led donald trump's own deputy attorney general to appoint bob mueller. so let's look into what mueller found in the report that we now have regarding that. i'm going to put up one of trump's answers here where he says he doesn't recall -- excuse me, he says, "substantial evidence indicates mueller finds that the catalyst, the cause, of president trump's decision to fire comey was comey's unwillingness to publicly state the president was not personally under investigation." and this goes to something that the mueller report clearly documents and wrestles with, which is that sometimes donald trump did things that looked like obstruction of justice but not to cover up an actual crime. there, he was trying to basically change the outcome of what the fbi would normally do to prevent personal embarrassment, to try to gain an upper hand in an open probe when it wasn't clear exactly where the fbi was going to land. that's not okay. that's not something that the

i'm ari melber leading the coverage. number one, what we learned in the report is bob mueller found a pattern of private and public evidence of donald trump's obstruction. he details it in this report. some of the quotes you've heard that are spicy, to say the least, like the president reportedly saying, according to the mueller report, this special counsel is, quote, the end of my presidency. i'm, quote, ff'd. that goes to the story mueller is telling. two. the mueller report shows attorney general bill barr was incorre incorrect. mr. barr famously released an unusual letter that we now know, that we can report for you, was false, at least in one key way. it was false in claiming that mueller had reached no con luk n conclusion on obstruction and left it up to barr. we know that is not the case. the mueller report, which america is just getting its eyes on, dramatically explodes attorney general barr's claims and reveals a very different reason. mueller viewed the rules that govern him, whether he liked them or not, as
