events, the guidelines and the comments harding is making to the associated press kind of bothered medoes he care so much that they support his administration? he knows they have to do their job. the press corps think they have to outline this new working relationship? why is this necessary? i started looking a little around at the circumstances. happened.this is what thisd one of my coworkers is what happened. it was in my head at 2:00 in the morning. sometimes things go in my head and i mull them over for a long time. at 2:00 in the morning i woke up and i had not been thinking about the sedition law as most of you probably don't think about it often either. i thought, the sedition law, that is why they are jumpstarting and starting this new relationship. we had just come out of world war i. the sedition law had just expired in 1920. while it lasted so far past the end of the war in 1918, i cannot tell you. it piggybacked on the espionage act. during the war woodrow wilson in the white house a sickly communications between the white house and the press shutdown. conferences, news he

times report, natasha, we were talking about this reporting, especially when it comes to the associated press that claims from bruce ohr he was told that the russian intelligence had trump over a barrel, according to multiple people familiar with that encounter and what do you take away from that encounter. >> this was not in the dossier, something that christopher steele told bruce ohr over breakfast that a russian intelligence officer had said and one of his sources inside of russia had picked up in his conversations with members of russian intel, and that is significant because that means that members of the gru and the fsu were discussing the fact -- or the notion that they had compromising information about the president that was causing trump to act in certain ways. that was essentially blackmail. and it is something that we had not heard before.

this is why warren harding telling the associated press pool i hope you support me, just like you are with the program during the war. this is why gus is saying ok, do over, we are going to start again and restart these press relations. that is why he says we want an open relationship. we want access. they are just a month from coming out from the end of the sedition law. it is pretty stunning when you think about this. coming out of the world war so many things are now changed about the country. this relationship is one of those things. we are of starting this new era in press relations with the white house. as man at the right, he is with this group of campaign workers right after the election was when they are all posing on the steps of george christian's house. he was hired as the chief publicity officer, he was working out of george christian's house and overseeing any of the news releases and things being sent out. there has always been a question of whether he was the first white house speechwriter. he was not called a speechwriter, he was called a clerk. he would go to the whi

chad day from "associated press." thank you, chad, for joining us. back to the panel. evelyn, let me get your reaction to the story. this assessment by christopher steele reporting it back to bruce ohr. what do you make of the information the russians or russian intelligence agencies had trump or at the time trump over a barrel. >> i think, ayman, based on what we saw in the dossier, the russians likely did have information relating to trump and his finances and possibly this performance, this evening he spent in the moscow hotel with prostitutes. we don't know that part. to your knowledge, publicly it hasn't been acknowledged by the fbi. confirmed by the fbi. we know many other parts have been confirmed publicly through press work, journalistic work and also some of the work that the justice department has done. so i would say that i'm not surprised that he came and said that the russians believe they have trump over a barrel. the russians probably believe that anyway because you just have to listen to donald trump speak. but i think they probably really did have some
