"outfront" tonight, breaking news, president trump telling the associated press that blaming saudi arabia for the apparent murder of "washington post" contributor jamal khashoggi is another case of being, quote, guilty until proven innocent and, quote, i don't like that. president trump then goes on to compare the situation to allegations against his supreme court justice. "we just went through that with justice kavanaugh and he was innocent all the way as far as i'm concerned so we have to find out what happened." the president's stunning statement as three sources tell cnn that a high-ranking officer with the saudi intelligence agency oversaw what the saudis are now claiming was an interrogation of khashoggi that went wrong. that officer, according to one source, has close ties to the inner circle of crown prince mohammed bin salman or mbs as he's known. so the saudis' cover story now hinges on whether you believe the king and crown prince mbs knew nothing about this. here's president trump earlier today. >> it depends whether or not the king or the crown prince knew about it, in my opi

here was the headline after an oval office interview wuths the associated press yesterday. president trump tells ap he won't accept blame if gop loses house. trump took exception to that headline saying ap headline was very different from my quote and meaning in the story.

say that all these accusations are false so is it fair to say that all of the witnesses that associated press has gathered witnesses on the ground. tribal leader those are all false because it was everywhere in the press and i need you to to have this on the record so all those witnesses and reports from associated press are false what were there are no other witnesses showing they go and interview with them so that they can see the side of the story we want a fair. very truthful review affection comes to media to the facts on the ground yes when we see our rule there that we are wrong and we are sure how much we contributed to making peace and we are contributing to. bringing back the rights of the people. and when it comes to the u.a.e. . rule that we have always been embracing and continue to do know what fight the. course we don't believe it is for the working solution so you've talked about the help to the yemeni people that the arab coalition is providing in the country at the same time for the last three years it's an undeniable fact that. u.a.e. along with saudi arabia have been major

. >> and we know the president told the associated press yesterday that he has a new white house counsel coming in to replace don mcgahn. what difference is that going to make? >> well, what this does, it signals, at least, internally to the trump team, they're getting ready, wolf, for what is going to be a knockdown, dragout fight with the democrats. they expect, obviously, that the democrats will take control of one of the houses of congress. perhaps the house of representatives in the november election. and so what they expect is that the democrats are going to launch a whole raft of new investigations of the executive branch. and, of course, they're going to start fighting for access to whatever mueller has found. keep in mind, mueller's findings only go to rod rosenstein. they don't necessarily automatically go to congress. so if the democrats have control of the house of representatives, they will have to perhaps launch a legal fight to be able to get -- to certain findings. that, the trump team believes, are protected by executive privilege. we expect, by the way, that step loney

tonight president trump going even further, telling the associated press this about the now widespread condemnation of the saudis. quote, i think we have to find out what happened first. here we go again with, you know, you're guilty until proven innocent. i don't like that. we just went through that with justice kavanaugh, and he was innocent all the way as far as i'm concerned. >>> so, the president of the united states is now telling the world that he views an alleged murder and potential dismemberment of a u.s. resident and washington post journalist the way he views allegations against brett kavanaugh. allegations that he repeatedly questioned and tried to undermine. that statement capped off a day when the president seemed to repeat the saudi government's versions of events. he tweeted this afternoon, just spoke with the crown prince of saudi arabia, who totally denied any knowledge of what took place in their turkish consulate. he was with secretary of state mike pompeo during the call and told me he's already started and will rapidly expand a full and complete investigation int

who he says totally denied any knowledge of what took place in an extraordinary statement to associated press president trump says that allegations of saudi complicity are and i quote another case of guilty until proven innocent this in reference to his nomination as supreme court judge brett kavanaugh who was accused of sexual assault but together with the statements by mike pompei o it would also appear to be part of a concerted strategy by the trumpet ministration to insist that there is no complicity among saudi leaders but the shop be at odds with views expressed by congressional leaders senator rand paul treated saudi arabia is not our friend they fund radicalism around the world we don't need to be arming them they are the worst actors out there promoting terrorism. and strong criticism from another republican senator of the crown prince referring to him by his initials m.b. s. this guy has got to go sorry but if you're listening there are a lot of good people you can choose but m.b.'s his tainted your country and tainted himself like congressional anger supported by a former director

trump said. [ applause ] >> in an interview with the associated press late today, president trump defended his comments about stormy daniels. asked if it was appropriate to comment on a woman's looks, trump says you can take it any way you want. white house reporter for the associated press conducted that interview a few moments ago with the president. don edwards, congresswoman from maryland former and contributor of "time" magazine. i want to start with jonathan. you just interviewed the president with some of your colleagues at . ap how would you describe his reaction physically when you questioned him about whether you should call anybody horse dlafa? >> this is not the first time he's made a derisive comment about a woman. he spent most of the interview with his arms folded across his chest. and he gave no grounds whatsoever. as you just read, he said you can make of it whatever you want. there was no attempt at an apology. there was no idea that this could hurt him among women voters in the midterms now just three weeks away. he was defiant in many ways throughout this interview when

. >> donald from gave an interview to the associated press where he said he hopes the saudi's investigation is concluded in less then a week. until then and other investigations are complete donald trump is continuing to refuse to take sides. he compared the rush to condemn the saudi's to this missing most likely murdered journalist to the sexual assault accusations against brett cavanagh saying, quote, here we go again with guilty until proven innocent. we just went through that with brett cavanagh and he was innocent as far as i am concerned. we have to find out what happened. mike pompeo is in saudi arabia with the crown prince, describing the conversation is direct and candid, i am for size the importance of conducting a thorough, transparent and timely investigation and the saudi leadership pledge to deliver on that. he also added during the meetings with the saudi leadership, strongly denied knowledge of what took place in istanbul. level turkish official said the police searching without a consulate have found evidence that jamaal khashoggi was killed inside. authorities ready to sea

jonathan lemire, white house reporter for the associated press. lisa layer a, national political reporter for "the new york times," and tamara keith, white house correspondent for the npr. listen to me, for national public radio. wow, they're getting to me now. hey, lisa, i'd like to begin with you. i know you are, as we like to say, just back from america, reporting trip to arkansas. >> right. >> will this dual track as newt gingrich has so ordered of kavanaugh, caravan get them where they want to be for the mid terms? >> well, look, we know that president trump supporters love president trump. the question -- and that has held strong throughout his presidency. the question is whether they will come out to the polls. and that's what you see the trump administration trying to do here. they know that immigration is a very motivating force for their voters. they're trying to make sure that all their people come out. but what i can also tell you from being out in arkansas, i was in the little rock suburbs today that trump is a really strong predictor

at the associated press and she is joining us from san francisco very good to have you with us on al-jazeera so as the a.p. reports details this adopting out of migrant children is happening already and sometimes what the coalition well i think. we've highlighted it really still to some of these bulls. in the united states in the central government has custody of migrant children who arrive here alone or separated from their parents but what happens in war is an entirely different matter the children are placed in foster care there is a way for parents or even. to. guardianship or custody of the children do we know how many children have been separated from their parents have been adopted out what about their parents knowledge or even approval the reports that the case that the associated press reports details actually began under the obama administration even though this story itself has been big news this year and the trumpet ministration. so i know it's important to right now that family separation has been going on for a while now at the u.s. next to the border and so for people who are

at first when he was asked if he dodged the question, the associated press reporter asked again, hereis what the president said. do you have any regrets or remorse about how this has impacted children? i think we have done an incredible job with children. we have taken children who have no parents with them standing on the border. we have taken many children. i'm talking about a large percentage where they have no people, no parents. in addition to that, we are separating children who are just met by people who are using them to come across coming into the border that are not their parents. what do you say to that? >> you may accuse me of under statement again, but they have not done an incredible job. the federal judge said this policy was brutal and offensive. you were taking children away from their parents, not from traffickers, from parents. you didn't keep records, the same kind you would keep if taking property away. for the administration to call this an incredible job is beyond belief. >> i ask you every time you are on, do you remain hopeful these children will be reunited?

president trump telling the associated press that he talked to the saudi crowned prince on the phone during secretary pompeo's visit. and was told that both the crown prince and his father the saudi king deny any knowledge of what happened to khashoggi. just this morning fbn stuart varney asked the president what sort of punishment he has in mind if the allegations turn out to be true. >> i hope we're going to be on the better side of the equation. you know, we need saudi arabia in terms of our fight against all of the terrorism. everything that's happening in iran and other places. but i hope that the king and the crown prince didn't know about it. that's a big factor in my eyes. and i hope they haven't. mike pompeo just left. he went to turkey. as you know, he is coming back late tonight. i'm seeing him either late tonight or tomorrow we will find out. >> harris: the president will talk about the future of u.s. saudi arabia and the arms deal that is on the table. watch. >> they have a tremendous order. $110 billion. every country in the world wanted a piece of that order. we got al

the president told the associated press, well, he was a very, very low level guy, he distanced himselfrom cohen. how worried should the president be about this? >> i think the fact he is talking about this shows how worried he is and concerned he is. we have the mid terms coming you have. he knows all of this is playing out there. i think his reaction i a lone tells you it is on his mind as it should be. >> jeffrey, what do you think? >> i love the donald trump -- who is this michael cohen of whom you speak? michael -- who is this person? i mean, you know, this was a right-hand man, if not the right-hand man, to candidate trump and real estate developer trump. he's the one who went to russia to negotiate about a possible trump tower in moscow. i mean he is someone who is centrally involved in all of the president's most private business dealings. he's the one who did the stormy daniels agreement. so, you know, if he knows something that improper dealings went on, he's going to be telling it at this point. >> yeah. all right, guys. stick around. we will take another very, very quick bre

but in a tuesday interview, the president told the associated press, the whole process is a tremendousf time. adding, we are looking at certain questions having to do with the word collusion. of course, there was no collusion. trump offered up his strongest defense yet of his son, donald trump jr. who participated in the june 2016 meeting in trump tower, with a russian lawyer who has ties to the kremlin and promised dirt on hillary clinton. the meeting became about a different subject, and they couldn't get out of the meeting fast enough, trump told the ap. while insisting his son is innocent. there is nobody harder on my son than i am. if he did something wrong, i would have been livid. >> the phony witch hunt. >> despite his anger over the investigation, attorney general jeff sessions decision to recuse himself from it, trump still won't say whether he wants sessions out. i could fire him whenever i want to fire him, but i haven't said that i was going to, trump told the ap. but if you ask me, am i thrilled? no, i am not thrilled. the other person the president isn't thrilled with, h

the associated press is reporting more than 4000 appointment of had to be rescheduled because of this strike including 241 surgeries. it is supposed to start at 7 am. but they started picketing lines here as well as the 16 other facilities across the. they say that they have been in talks for more than a year right now. they represent 15,000 which include positions like respiratory therapist, and patient transporters. they say that they have increased the staff. and make sure that they still receive proper medical attention. >> we brought in staff from across the country. and they will be shifting those duties to other areas so that we can focus on our patients. >> in a statement obtained by the associated press, it's a number of unionized care workers increased by nearly 19% the past five years. while outsourcing contracts has stayed relatively flat, the important deal to be implemented with a 3% increase for the next four years. as well as offering health plans at the same as other employees with similar salaries. so, they say that they are demanding and 8% raise. which is about twi

and then for good measure this evening sat down for an interview with the associated press on a range of topics. zeke miller, one of those three reporters who conducted the interview there in the oval office, standing by to join us live. trump's comments about the missing journalist, jamal khashoggi, are perhaps the most striking. khashoggi disappeared two weeks ago at the saudi consulate in turkey. trump told the a.p. on this "i think we have to find out what happened first. here we go again with, you know, you're guilty until proven innocent. i don't like that. we just went through that with justice kavanaugh, and he was innocent all the way as far as i'm concerned." and here's what he said in yet another interview today taped earlier to air tonight on "fox business." >> it depends on whether or not the king or the crown prince knew about it, in my opinion. not whether it happened but if they knew about it. if they knew about it, that would be bad. if they didn't know about it, bad things can happen. >> decisions that you face as president. >> let's hope we hear the proper answers.

hold that business journal "e michael litke of associated press." chairman at google, was my assessment of google fairly accurate? it is a rambunctious group, isn't it? >> it's a very open culture. employees really participate. where friday afternoon all hands meetings were common. and the leadership shared a lot with the employees. >> now, there is this idea of bringing your whole self to work. it's a very silicon valley -- i think it's a very silicon valley idea. but it can cause a lot of issues. i mean, there are some fairly famous issues at google in which employees caused as, you know, debating back and forth the issues as opposed to engineering. >> yeah. i mean, the thing to understand s ahe if unhappy about something, that's 9,000 employees. 900 employees. that's a fairly large small minority. you get a different dynamic as the culture has grown, the dynamic has shifted. >> i am not saying it's a wrong thing. i don't imagine the assemblyman on the ford assembly line is out there blogging about stuff the way that a google employee does. i'm no

the associated press reported that her dna claims that it inflames some native americans. they are saying it cheapens the identity of actual travel members. trace gallagher is on the case. >> good evening. for context elizabeth warren was born in oklahoma were 7% of the population, one of the highest proportions identify as head of american. she is not a member of the tribe but she did claim to have a connection to the cherokee nation on the tribe is issued a statement accusing her of "undermining tribal interest with her continued claims tribal heritage." that prompted the president to quickly wagon, thank you for the cherokee nation for revealing that elizabeth warren sometimes referred to as pocahontas is a complete and total fraud. she then pushed back writing, millions of people watched you as you fumbled and lied on your $1 million pledge. he took a day for your handlers to tee up there is recycled racist name calling. you've lost a step at a 21 days you will lose congress. it wasn't until 2012 senate race and it was revealed that she listed yourself as a racial mino

this from the associated press about voting rights and write that in terms of reregistering they talk about a woman who try to reregister but a month left before the november election to decide the governor's race and this woman application one over 53000 sitting on hold with georgia secretary of state office and unlike many people on the list which is probably black according to analysis by associate press not know their voter education has been held up and to point out secretary of state in georgia is a republican candidate for governor. >> guest: yeah, those registrations are on hold because they don't exactly match identification that has been provided. voter lists are notoriously error filled and very difficult to match to driver's licenses especially for unique names for it rather than john or susan. so, there are a lot of issues with the client that exact mat match. >> host: to hear from sam in baltimore, maryland, go ahead who always votes. sam, hello. >> caller: yes, i'm a second year law student from the university of maryland and always voted and one of the things i studied

trump telling the associated press, "i'm not running. i mean, there are many people that have said to me "i will never, ever go and vote in the midterms because you're not running." at the same time, the president also claims his campaigning and endorsements are responsible for several gop wins. to be fair, republican candidates backed by trump did enjoy success in the primaries. >>> no winner in last night's mega millions drawing bringing the jackpot to a mind-boggling $868 million. a lump sum, just shy of half a billion bucks. the winning, rather nonwinning numbers were 3-45-49-61-69, and the mega ball was 9. tonight powerball, an estimated $345 million jackpot. that's just so much -- a lot of money. >> our first-ever office president obama here at "early start." >>> the number of americans jobs available, far outpacing the number of people looking for work. what does it mean for the labor market? nothing says fall like a homecoming football game, so let's promote our fall travel deal on choicehotels.com like this. touchdown. earn a fr

and josh letterman, veteran of the associated press who is now national political reporter for us at nbc news. josh, i'd like to begin with you. is there a sense as we come on the air since you last did a round of reporting on this story that the sides may be closing in on this man they call mbs? >> well, it all depends, really, brian on how much the u.s. and other countries are willing to point the finger directly at saudi leadership. crown prince mohammed bin salman and those around him. and how much evidence it comes forward that really indicates that this was something that was ordered from the top, that it wasn't something that happened, a rogue operation that crown prince mbs only learned about later. so far the president seems to be quite willing to buy the explanation from mbs and from king salman, his father, that this was not something that was a sanctioned state-driven operation from crowned prince mohammed. but if there are intercepts from u.s. intelligence, if there are other indications that the u.s. has picked up that this was something that was plotted that would real

in an oval office interview with the the associated press president trump said this. he said he and his father knew nothing about it and that was important. he said very strongly that he and his father knew nothing about it. that is a quote from president trump. the a.p. asked if his remarks about rogue killiers came up. president trump responded this way, when i spoke to the father it sounded like he felt like he did not do it. it sounded like the concept of rogue killers. i don't know. that was just from my feeling of the conversation with the king. on the idea of trusting the saudis, president trump said this. i think we have to find out what happened first. you know, here we go again with, you know, you're guilty until proven innocent. i don't like that. we just went through that with justice kavanaugh and he was innocent all the way so i was unconcerned. i will say they were very strong in their denial about themselves knowing. you had that interview with your colleagues at the the associated press inside the oval office with president trump. it sounds like he is

the associated press followed up so he's lying under oath.nd trump replied oh, absolutely he's lying. and comichael cohen was a pr person who did small legal work, very small legal work. in april when cohen's office and hotel room were raided by the fbi, president trump said this. >> it's a disgrace. it's frankly a real disgrace. it's an attack on our contuntryn a true sense. >> joining us now john heilemann, co-host of executive show time's "the circus." and mimi roca. and john, president trump in accusing michael cohen of being a liar tells the lie that michael cohen with as just a sm player in his operation that had very little to do with donald trump. >> yes, barely knew him. it's hard to imagine he's had an opinion of michael cohen. he's heard of him none whatsoever. the only thing he said was he did very little legal work for donald trump because he's not really a lawyer. he also didn't do much pr work, although he did represent trump in the press to some extent. what he did for trump in the decade or so he worked for trump, not a littl

. >> just yesterday in that interview with the associated press the president said he's concerned about a rush to condemn the saudis over khashoggi's disappearance. and then this morning at the white house the president was asked by a reporter if he is protecting the saudis. >> i'm not giving cover at all. with that being said, saudi arabia's been a very important ally of ours in the middle east. but if you look at saudi arabia, they're an ally and they're a tremendous purchaser of not only military equipment but other things. when i went there, they committed to purchase $450 billion worth of things and $110 billion worth of military. those are the biggest orders in the history of this country. probably the history of the world. >> trump was also asked about possibly sending the fbi to investigate khashoggi's disappearance and about that purported audio recording turkish officials say they have. >> we talked to a man who lived across the river in virginia. why not send the fbi to figure this out? >> he wasn't a citizen of this country, for one thing. and we're going to determine that.

speaking to the associated press donald trump said that the case of missing "washington post" columnist jamal khashoggi is another case of "guilty until proven innocent." he said we just went through that with justice kavanaugh. khashoggi walked into a saudi consulate in istanbul two weeks ago and has not been seen since. tonight "the new york times" reporting one of the suspects identified in the disappearance -- three others are linked by witnesses and other records to the saudi crown prince's security detail. news breaking just hours after secretary of state mike pompeo met with the crown prince ostensibly to investigate khashoggi's disappearance while president trump appears to be laying the ground work for the crown prince and other royals to deny any knowledge of what actually happened in their own consulate. >> and it depends whether or not the king or the crown prince knew about it, in my opinion. number one, what happened, but whether or not they knew about it. if they knew about it, that would be bad. >> joining me now is chris murphy of connecticut, a member of the foreign re

here was the headline after an oval office interview wuths the associated press yesterday. president trump tells ap he won't accept blame if gop loses house. trump took exception to that headline saying ap headline was very different from my quote and meaning in the story. they just can't help themselves. fake news. but our colleagues at the associated press have receipts in the form of an interview transcript. if republicans were to lose control of the house on november 6th or a couple days later, depending on how long it takes to count the votes do you believe you bear some of the responsibility for that? trump says, no, i think i'm helping people. i'm 48 and 1 in the primaries and actually it's much high thaern that because i endorsed a lot of people that were successful that people don't even talk about. but many of those 48 were people that had no chance in some cases. joining us is robert costa, "washington post" national political reporter. eddie, chairman of the center for african-american studies, and charlie sikes, host of the daily standard. mark liebovich. and a

and now, joining us is jonathan la mere, and one of the associated press white house reporters who spoke with the president tuesday and ashley parker who is a reporter at the washington post, and also msnbc reporter josh letterman, and let's go to you, peter, what we heard and the president is doing today and this is one of the times that we will hear from him, but he said when he was asked are you giving cover to the saudis, and he said, no, but we did not hear anything about the criticisms that we are hearing from congress, and serious concerns raised from people like lindsey graham and what can you tell us? >> yes, that is right, chris. and jonathan who was in the room yesterday can elaborate on this as the president made the comparison of the way we were viewing the situation with khashoggi in saudi arabia with brett kavanaugh with here you go again with this idea that you are guilty until proven innocent. and we did hear the president saying about the situation that we of course need saudi arabia here for a variety of reasons in his eyes, and one as it relates to a new deal with ira

two white house reporters with the associated press, jonathan lemire and jill colvin.athan, you're here with us in new york. home field advantage. you get to go first. were you surprised? was there in your reporting widespread agreement in the west wing? was there any dissent that he went ahead with the rally tonight? >> there certainly was some surprise that it happened. and there were some voices in the building who suggested that maybe he shouldn't. and the white house is very sensitive -- once they made the decision to go forward with it. sensitive to how it would play. the president tweeted a number of times about this idea, he wouldn't want to let the people down who had lined up to see him. and we certainly know he is -- you know, we know how fond he is of his base and the folks who do come out and perhaps not spend the night to get in line but spend hour there. he does want to cater to them. the deputy press secretary came back and talked to reporters about it. the president, you know, again talked about it at the white house. they wanted to see this through. i
