bill clinton was a long time ago.today bill clinton would not -- bill clinton would not get that pass and we saw it in hillary's campaign, blow back from people on the left, particularly younger people, who were hearing about this for the first time saying that's not okay. i don't like that women have accused bill clinton of this. in today's world, bill clinton would not be defended. he would not get away with what he got away with. i firmly believe that. >> all i'm saying, the standard should be the same for everybody. >> i agree. >> that's it. that's my point. beginning and end. >> right. and it's not. and that's my point. my point is with donald trump, he's feeding into a long history of misogyny that we've gotten to the point where most people agree is not acceptable and now we have the president of the united states engaging in behavior that's reinforcing it. and like i said, i guarantee mika brzezinski is on the receiving end of unspeakable attacks against her personally and her physical appearance all spurred b

with bill clinton, of course.tarted out as an investigation into whitewater ended up something where he got in trouble for perjuring himself. if you're somebody who hears that and you do support donald trump, i don't know how excited you should be about that. >> carl bernstein, you certainly have seen firsthand how something like, say, a break-in can lead to many different things. over the course of investigations here, just a quick final word on this subject. we're just at the beginning here. >> i think the final word is that this is part of a huge sprawling investigation about the russians and what people in the trump orbit, including the president of the united states, might have done in their contacts with russians, russia, ethnorussian, former republics of the soviet union that are adjacent to russia. there is a huge investigation going on. and it's closing in. think of all of this as a mosaic in which the pieces are starting to come together. and we're beginning to get a picture, and we don't even know yet u

he was once and it was once bill clinton was president united states and bill clinton was impeached for what having a sex scandal impeached by who the republicans so if you want to point the finger at some party and i want to get into this fall but if you want to point to where all this started how about the republican party not accepting the legitimacy of bill clinton get elected and impeaching him over a personal affair. jeff you want to reply to that well i think first of all he was going to act i think first of all he's impeached over over. but i mean i would consider bill clinton's bill clinton's presidency as part of the modern era it's part of the partisan era it preceded social media but it everything after the sixty's or seventy's became identity politics and that radically changed the scope of what government and congress was going to do and as a result i think people are really pissed at each other because they fear losing we have a winner takes all system especially with respect to social issues and so. so it's no wonder people are angry because they view the stakes is s

bill clinton was the first sitting president to testify under oath about his own behavior.l is back. doug, it is very rare that presidents testify under oath. it has happened and as we said, president clinton is the first one to do it having to do with a criminal investigation of his own conduct. >> that's right, bill clinton and his presidential history was the hank aaron of judicial testimony. it ended up not particularly well for bill clinton, in the fact that he had to do five hours with kenneth starr and had to go on to the public airwaves television and say i'm guilty. but the key here is what happened with what ronald reagan did with iran contra, for lawrence walsh in 1998, reagan agreed to answer questions in writing. donald trump's a tricky character, he might say 100% sworn testimony, but i'll answer your questions in writing. you might see his lawyers to deal with it that way, because putting him from front of a mueller for 5 1/2 hours is pretty dangerous for trump. >> he said ronald reagan, so i had to ask you the next question by law here, do you think that the

bill clinton got there adds an undergraduate in 1964. he graduated in 1968. one of the stories about bill clinton's college career ends up being sort of relevant. legend has it sometime during his early college years at georgetown when he was a young man, maybe when he was 19, maybe when he was a freshman, young bill clinton went to a party in massachusetts that was a beach party. and political legends has it that at that beach party he was swimming in the ocean and he basically got grabbed by a rip tied and started to get pulled out to sea. and when that happened another young man, another 19-year-old man, a harvard stay tuned came to his rescue. the man who came to his rescue in that near drowning story was a man named fife simming ton. he was a harvard student and went on to be a famous politician in his own right. he ended up becoming governor of arizona. bill clinton became governor of arkansas and president of the united states. i always supported that the 1960s beach party bill clinton rescue story might be wholly or at least in part apock ra fall. but

began and ended with the impeachment of bill clinton over monica lewinsky. guest: there were all sorts of examples of such accounts are rules -- of special counsel's going on and on and on. the statue was not renewed by congress because they recognized the drawbacks of that kind of a system, having someone who is not answerable to anyone and that is one of the problems of special counsel law. our whole government is designed for the executive branch to have accountability and special counselors have no accountability. host: mike joining us from indiana, democrats line. caller: good morning. i will make this short. in the end, it's about morality. my grandparents raised me and i grew up in the south. sessions, itff just reminds me of how i grew up as a young man. regime part of that old and it breaks my heart to see men defend -- a moral is a moral. i am a democrat. , butry clinton was immoral so is the president and to watch this men defend this man, it is crazy. grandkidso leave my to give me a choice between barack obama and the current president, i would

. >> bill clinton got there in 1964. graduated in 1968. and one of the stories about bill clinton's college career ends up being sort of relevant. legend has it some time during his early college years at georgetown when he was a young man, maybe when he was 19, maybe when he was a freshman, young bill clinton went to a party in massachusetts that was a beach party. and political legends has it that at that beach party he was swimming in the ocean, and he basically got grabbed by a rip tide and started to get pulled out to sea. and when that happened, another young man, another 19-year-old man, a harvard student came to his rescue. the man who came to his rescue in that near drowning story was a man named fife symington. he was a harvard student and he also went on to be a famous politician in his own right. he was a republican and ended up becoming governor of arizona. bill clinton was a democrat who became governor of arkansas and president of the united states. i've heard this story many times. i always suspected that the 1960s beach pa

bill clinton $167 million. george w. bush $320 million. the estimate is between $500 million and $1.5 billion for president obama, it doesn't take into fact he doesn't have to provide an endowment. congress saw presidential libraries were getting more, they passed an act that said, if you give us a presidential library, have you to give us an endowment to defer the cost. that was raised to first 40 and then 60% f. $100 million, you give $60 million for the national archives. host: that is also the cost of the things you talked about running the paper or running the records, but some other communications issues, as well? guest: supposed to go to operation and maintenance of the building. we're spending 10 to 15 million a year on renovating what are now sometimes 40, 50, 60-year-old buildings. host: talking about anthony clark about it. now is the time to ask your questions or stories about visiting presidential library. robert is up next. -- roger is up first from virginia, line for republicans go ahead. , caller: my question is, if donald

bill clinton saw it happen. more revenues poured in and when you have tax cuts like the eisenhower year, there were recessions every other year and watch the growth in real income, reagan era '83 to '89 and spiked for whom, the lower percent. david: if we don't get the tax cuts, we have the business round table saying if we don't get tax cuts, we'll lose investment and that means we'll lose job. >> the answer is for republicans to stop talking about revenues. since when is it the job of the american worker to make sure that congress has more money to waste? taxes should be cut and the revenues decline. the museum of the unseen will be reduced and the economy will boom. david: again, sabrina, the point it, they don't have to fret about losing money when you cut taxes. when you cut tax rates, generally revenues increst. >> it's a huge public affairs for the republicans. they have to explain to voters, when you cut taxes, the middle class better, more flexible, wage structures and more competition and more opportun

i think you could squarely blame obama for him, for hillary clinton losing or bill clinton for hillaryon losing very, very convincingly, at least just as convincingly as you could, you know, all of the other facts hillary clinton found to blame. neil: you know when you heard comey talking about russian involvement, he has no doubt there is russian involvement and offensive and not the thing to do, et cetera, he did not say that it tilted the election. he did not say it changed the results of election but that is always underlying theme among many democrats, argued if not for that, hillary clinton would be president today, but that is not at all what he said. >> right. in fact many democrats go even further suggesting collusion. neil: that's right. >> i don't know what theory is exactly maybe trump worked with the russians to leak this information. that is what collusion would be. yeah, we don't have any on the record testimony from any high-ranking officials backing up those points. if anything yesterday's testimony weakened case. it wasn't good for donald trump by any means in many ot

in terms of the washington news tonight, i need to tell you the a story that starts with bill clinton who went to college at georgetown university in washington, d.c. bill bill :to be as a young man got there as an dergraduate in 1964. graduated in 1968. one of the stories about bill clinton's college career ends up being sort of relevant. legend has long had it at some time during bill clinton's early college years, when he was at georgetown, when he was a young man, maybe when he was about 19, maybe when was a freshman, young bill clinton went to a party in massachusetts that was a beach party. and political legend has it that at that beach party he was swimming in the ocean and he basically got grabbed by a rip tide and got pulled out to sea. and when that happened another young man, another 19-year-old man, a harvard student, came to his rescue. the man who came to his rescue in that near drowning story was a man named fife similarington. he was a harvard student and went on to be a famous politician in his own right. he ended up becoming governor of arizona. bill clinton, of cour

there is evidence bill clinton wanted to quash hillary clinton's investigation. certainly more than the pathetic we are going to find collusion between donald trump and the russians. where is the investigation of the clinton foundation, a criminal end prize. a hell of a lot more than the hope of finding collusion between donald trump and the russians. you want to talk russia? let's talk about russia. let's talk about the sale of 20% of our uranium to russia and hillary clinton signing off on the deal. the clinton foundation with that slush fund and hillary clinton receiving $140 million and bill clinton getting twice and triple is normal speech fee. you are empowered. do something, pass something, cut this kumbaya wrap, put on your big boy pants and act like you are in power and give a damn. more importantly convince us that you are not in on the effort to take down the president of the united states. and that's my open. tell me what you think on my facebook page or twitter at #judgejeanine. the congressman, am i wrong? >> well, i have got to tell you, if you loo

borisjohnson a moment ago said that bill clinton never ratified kyoto. hear that, and there is no legitimate comparison there. there is not a question of whether bill clinton, the agreement had a structure and a formation that had in reality no chance of getting ratified in the us senate, that was too bad, we wanted it to happen but itjust wasn't going to happen and it wasn't because president clinton didn't try. do you think china is taking the place of america? is it emerging as the saviour of the planet? well, i don't think china is the saviour of the planet but i will say that i'm glad that china is making clear that they intend to stay in the agreement and to continue with their pledges. that's important. obviously the us and china together, the work that we did together, the diplomacy was enormously important to getting the agreement done. and it's a good thing that china wants to stay in. it's going to be also i think enormously important that europe, including the uk, step up and play a leadership role. and many other countries around the world.

with you here today to be with the president of the united states to be together with my friend bill clintone in the white house. bill, you were so kind as to describe my way through life that was very touching that is the same with all of us that if you look back into the past this brings home the different stations and the members of my a generation the experience that we have made while we were children during the nazi regime when the war ended i was 15 years old this is the indelible memory. to ever live through those years it is similar to a the vietnam war and the rooms to have a deeper appreciation for what peace means it has something to do with the way you wish to live yourself that is why this is so important that nato was not found first and foremost, nations that are free and wish to guarantee and uphold prosperity of those nations. and what is necessary to of indulgence and nobody should believe to having the world change in the meantime now we may have believed but now every evening we watch television to see the news and images of refugees people who have been slaughtered or w

but, you have the tarmac meeting with bill clinton in a plain, totally inappropriate. possible collusion, possible obstruction. then, it gets worse than that. he takes james comey to take a word in an investigation and turn it into a matter. a later, james comey confronts her that she had put the kibosh on any possible indictment of where the evidence led, and gave him a steely, silent look, and said anything else? that, to me, if she doesn't get brought before a committee and investigated, we don't have justice in this country. >> let's go back to your very first point. how can you h house and a republican senate, and not bring in the attorney general and the former president under oath and get each of them to describe what they were discussing? i think this is, and terms of why people are sick of washington, the idea that they happen to be at the same airpor airport. this is four or five days before they are going to interview secretary clinton, which they did not under oath. you go through this whole thing, and it's no wonder the average american is disgusted. as yo

receive and loretta lynch, who was attorney general at the time, was inappropriate in meeting with bill clinton on the tarmac, but at the same time, it was her decision and continued to be the do j's decision to make on the prosecution. stuart: okay. matt, look, thanks very much

do you think bill clinton wasn't attacked in the same way? do you think obama wasn't attacked? all presidents are made fun of. look at what jon stewart on "the daily show" made a career out of making fun of presidents. just move on. host: and what about what gets covered? i want to listen to sarah huckabee sanders at the white house laying out the argument with numbers about how much attention is paid to what this administration is trying to do, their policy agenda versus other news. [video clip] sarah: i think all of us would like to focus on the legislative agenda over you look at the coverage over the last month of the extended period between may and june, all of the major networks, if you look at their coverage and what they're talking about, they spent one minute in the evening newscast talking about tax reform. three minutes on infrastructure. five minutes on the economy and jobs. 17 minutes on health care. 353 minutes s, attacking the president and pushing a false narrative on russia. i mean, look at that in comparison. if you guys want to talk about legislative agenda a

than focus on the man, they focused on bill clinton, the president. think that will change in years to come? guest: i think so. they tional archive said help amealiorate the extreme parts of the exhibit over time. is -- like for the le, the nixon library, original watergate exhibit nixon said watergate was plot to make carl albert president of the united states, the speaker of the house. existed for 17 years. when national archives took over 2007, first order of business for new federal director was to the watergate exhibit because it was inaccurate and replace today with fundamentally accurate. that doesn't happen often. johnson library did a renovation under the national a lot s and it became itory, downplayed a lot don't tivity and if you know anything about johnson and go, you say, he did a great job '60s and g with the vietnam and you walk out admiring him more than happened.ding what yonkers, new york, rich, ahead.can, go caller: since you touched on the national archives many times, i i read that this year many more release records, maybe thous

bill clinton left office with a 66% approval rating, the envy of most presidents.ally pretty chaotic with personnel upheavals and the kind of things we're hearing bit about at the moment from the donald trump white house. that dragged his ratings down. here's what he did about it, he brought in a grown—up, leon panetta, to be his chief of staff. he shook up the white house and instilled a lot of discipline and instilled a lot of discipline and approval ratings began to go back up again. ijust want to bring this back to where things stand here with some polling figures here in the uk. the poll of polls puts the conservatives in the lead with a2.9%. while labour is five points behind on 37.2%. tim farron's liberal democrats are polling at 8.1%. the polls have been completely up and down these last few weeks. 0ne poll put the conservatives at one point above labour and another as high as 12 points. looking back at the polling on the popular vote in 2015, the conservatives with seven points ahead, so do you take other side of that, if they were six points ahead do they

and, that he was much, much more concerned about bill clinton meeting loretta lynch on that tarmac. o if you buy the argument that he is sort of dropped his resolve and investigations, he really sluffed off the clinton one but has not since the trump one. >> well, i took it differently. neil: that is my impression. >> i took it differently. i took it, that he didn't like the optics of clinton meeting with loretta lynch. he didn't like the fact that live lynch tried to tell him how to frame the investigation. you know, what did he call it, euphemism for investigation that she tried to get him to use -- neil: matter. >> a matter. and i took it -- neil: refer to you there is the gaspo matter. >> by the way that usually means fired. see that is not a euphemism. here's the thing, i think he could walk away saying he didn't put up with her stuff. he said, okay, that is why i'm taking over the investigation, do what i want because i didn't trust her. neil: imagine, had she not done that, he would have had no reason to update the press. >> yes. neil: on an investigation, almost ironically it

what about the meeting bill clinton and loretta lynch had on the tarmac at a private jet? what'd they talk about before she made her decision? that's a huge scandal here in abuse of power by the clinton administration. how is that not obstruction of justice and why didn't comey come forward and report that? that he may break the law? we will ask our legal experts throughout the show. why didn't comey create a detailed memo about this conversation? there's a massive double standard. comey let something like that happen with lynch but is now trying to go after president trump. his biases are so extreme, so many other examples. comey testified he took detailed memos of all of his conversations with president trump. he didn't trust him and thought he might live but he didn't do the same thing to president obama. comey also never put hillary clinton under oath when she was being interviewed by the fbi and never demanded that her conversation be recorded. comey was desperate to come out in clear hillary clinton's name but he refused to do the same thing for president trump. he to

liz: quickly, to your point, ken starr's whitewater investigation into bill clinton morphed into the monica lewinsky investigation. you're saying the robert mueller investigation into russia meddling could turn into how loretta lynch and the obama administration handled the hillary clinton probe and the clinton foundation. >> exactly rate. liz: thank you so much for your time. >> good to see you. >> the latest in the british election. conservatives still the largest party with 314 votes. they need to hit 326. they got to get to that number in order to win the majority. we're staying on this story for you throughout the night. the british pound dropping after that exit poll was released. and conservative party, theresa may's party would stay in the majority. the results are still coming in. ashley webster will be all over the story. also lou dobbs and neil cavuto throughout the night. >>> back to james comey attacking the "new york times" today saying it was flat-out wrong in a story in february saying this russia was in contact with the trump campaign throughout the election. we've go

all the time, but bill clinton didn't do it.rump is doing the job that has usually been outsourced to employees because he's the only one who trusts himself to say these things about, about the man who is investigating him. all it does is keep the subject in the news, and i don't think it's going to intimidate director mueller at all. >> i think the opposite actually. >> i think the president, though, appreciates what would happen, rebecca, if he were to fire mueller, the reaction, what that reaction would be, especially the aftermath of him firing comey. >> i mean, certainly republicans have taken great pains to publicly warn the president about how detrimental that would be to his administration and his agenda if he were to fire mueller. so, good news for them is that the message does seem to be getting through. but talking about this, maybe not a productive thing, although you could understand why the president, not knowing how this investigation is going to turnout, or where it's going to go, and not having any control over

how about bill clinton. talk about that tarmac visit with loretta lynch. what happened there. we know from years ago with the irs scandal that the obama administration used the deep state against it political enemies. so clearly there is plenty going on. it's very significant she is being brought before this committee, but only if there is a long line behind her of people involved in these scandals. charles: i'm not sure honestly bill clinton honestly remembers what happened object that tarmac. but that's a different story. >> i don't think bill clinton or obama will be called up under oath. but ben rhodes, susan rice's deputy needs to be subpoenaed and brought up to the hill, and they have to have a conversation with him about his role in unmasking. charles: susan rice has agreed to go before the senate intel committee. behind closed doors, but a major step perhaps of getting to the ultimate truth. the question for everyone, let's focus on an elegant solution. the big question, does anyone have one? my next guest says she does and she is next. to folks everywhere whose diabet

among his works barack obama the story and a biography of bill clin clinton.st recent book is once in a city. i will quote you back to you. this is from 1998. you were writing about the report headline clinton's behavior patterns become issue. clinton evoked many of the characteristics that are a familiar part of his history. his sense of victim hood. his tendency towards self delusion. his concerns about powers of his adversaries and information to construct a story line at once compelling. these are not similar characters but what must your thoughts be about an arkansas land deal that ended up with an intern scandal in the white house and where investigations can take the investigators. >> well, that took six years. it took special prosecutors, independent counsels, impeachment. it started with you say follow the money. the money went nowhere in that. they lost money and ended up facing a trial. but there is one essential characteristic that differentiate bill clinton from donald trump. it's the key one is a word that turned into a cliche which is compartmen

a lot of people are speculating about what bill clinton said to then attorney general loretta lynch lynch on the air -- loretta lynch on the tarmac last year. guest: i'm not the attorney general, i have never been the attorney general, but i have been involved in cases and i know when you have to avoid the appearance of a conflict of interest or what should have happened on that tarmac is when bill clinton came up the steps into the plane, despite the fact that he is the ex-president, the attorney general should have said to him sir, i'm very sorry, but we cannot speak because your wife is the target of an fbi investigation, and the f ei director report -- fbi director reports to me. instead, they had a discussion and we do not know about what. that was some think she should not have done because she had every duty to avoid the appearance of impropriety, and that is certainly what happened. host: our guest served in the civil rights division of the justice department from 2001-2006. he is also the co-author of a book "loose counting: how fraudsters and bureaucrats put your vote at risk."

the tarmac meeting with bill clinton need to be investigated further because we never got answers on like that investigation into clinton's email server was politicized. charles: the tarmac incident was the height of arrogance and felt like it broke all kind of laws and certainly protocol. gregg: the proximity of that tarmac meeting between clinton and lynch. and then she is free and clear because of james comey. now we learn through comey's testimony that loretta lynch was trying to get .. ♪ he came to the world justin the usual way ♪ ♪ but there were planes to catch and bills to pay ♪ ♪ so i moved my meeting saw him walk that day ♪ ♪ he was talking 'fore i knew it, and as he grew ♪ ♪ he'd say i'm gonna be like you, dad ♪ ♪ you know i'm gonna be like you ♪ ♪ and the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon ♪ ♪ little boy blue and the man in the moon... ♪ charles: breaking news. several lawmakers on both sides of the aisle claiming they are receiving death threats and other threatening foreign calls following yesterday's shooting that targeted gop congressmen. one congressman said he

they look at ken star and bill clinton and the impeachment of bill clinton.y point out -- i heard this from ron brownstein. ken star pushed forward and congress used in impeachment. legal minds don't think that unless there are tapes that can corroborate what comey said, can show that president trump has not been honest, they don't think that he would really push forward in the same way. >> as for jared kushner being interviewed by senate staff, do we know when that will be and whether it would be under onlat? >> we know the imprecise time. it could be the middle of this month. could be the beginning of next month. he is going to be talking behind closed doors. we're not going to see it. then there's a question of whether it's under oath. we do know there will be mutually agreed upon terms between the committee and jared kushner's lawyers. we don't know exactly what those are going to be. this is something that, of course, will be fascinating. a number of issues, kushner having contacts with a putin associate, the head of the state-owned bank, russian bank. m

lynch should testify and comey should testify and bill clinton should testify. liz: gotta go. idea of the grand jury, it was about the blackberry service providers at the tail end. it wasn't a big impanelled grand jury into hillary clinton, right, tom? >> quickly. grand jury subpoenas that got documents. no one went before grand juries and testified. liz: my panel is here to react after this.

in the case of bill clinton, we were dealing with sex in the white house with an intern.quite different substance than a hostile country, affecting or attempting to affect the outcome of the potential election, and i would like to point out that bill clinton never fired the fbi director, when he didn't like the way an investigation was going, and a little bit of defense of bill clinton, who i voted to impeach, at least he didn't try to fire the guy that was after him. and so we have a different situation here, it's much more substantive risk to america and it involves something more similar to the richard nixon situation, where nixon in the saturday night massacre tried to get rid of the people that were pursuing the investigation, it didn't work out for nixon and i think donald trump might have learned that that's probably not a good idea. because there's a lot of fbi agents who want to make sure they get to the bottom of this. >> do you think this president could be impeached? >> i think it's too early to tell, like i said, in this tweet to my friend, and he is my frien

i went through this with bill clinton. i would have people looking at depositions and investigations coming out saying it's over, bill clinton is done. we would hear that once a week in republican meetings, no. >> let me ask you a question, to mark's point about process, we all know what the next 12 to probably 18 months are going to look like. at some point, and you've talked a lot on the show about everybody you know, there's not been one turn on trump. we've seen some of the polls at 35. most of them still around low 40% for him. at what point is there a point where parts of his base forget whether they love donald trump or not, cognitively understand that whatever he promised he could do, infrastructure, health care, cannot happen and will not happen anymore as a result of it, and the very reason they voted for him -- at what point does the process start to affect the psyche where they go, like it or not, this guy can't and will not get it done for us. >> there are a couple of things happening right now. i think most r

fast nating to hear that had bill clinton not approached loretta lynch on the tarmac that also historybeen different. >> comey has hinted at this in various other public testimony that he has given over the last few months. he has been asked about the decision that he made involving the clinton e-mail scandal and that investigation and publicly talking about it at various points and certainly the gop is still asking about it now because for many of them they never wanted to close the issue. for others it goes to the question of testing comey's credibility because they want to say he made decisions in a certain way that jive with what he is doing now. certainly this came up also in the decision to fire him and that was focused on whether he made appropriate decisions in the clinton e-mail probe and so this issue just isn't going away. both because people still juan to keep it front and center and because it played a role which we know the president said after those memos were released that that's what comey believes but it's never been completely separated so you keep having it coming b

i watched bill clinton's issues go on forever. i watched president bush, the last president bush go on forever, as karl rove wrote so well today, and i think the problem is this becomes very expensive to people have to hire lawyers, it becomes very expensive in the sense of time and energy and totally distract. lou: let me ask this. >> go ahead. lou: why are we putting up with it? we knew the direction it was headed, everybody knew the effort put forward by the dems, the left in this country with a simple and straightforward purpose which is to derail the agenda of this president and subvert his administration. the conservative republican leadership of both houses, both committees, senate intelligence and house intelligence, went along with it. now why should the american people have to put up with this ignorance? >> they shouldn't, and equally as important, the initial mission was to find out if the russians messed around in our election, and clearly the answer to that is yes. find out how and why and make sure it doesn't happen

we'll show you live pictures out of miami beach where president bill clinton is scheduled to address mayors from across the country who have gathered there for their annual conference. we'll bring you those remarks amid a strenuous debate over health care and several investigations into the white house's links to russia during the election. as soon as he gets to the podium, we will take you there. >>> president trump is now responding to stunning details from a "washington post" report about president obama's efforts to stop russian meddling in the 2016 election. last night, he tweeted out, "just out, the obama administration knew far in advance of november 8th about election meddling by russia. did nothing about it. why?" "the washington post" reveals that obama knew russian president vladimir putin was directly involved. it also chronicles the super secretive and strained play by play of what the obama administration did do in response to the meddling, mostly through sanctions that even obama administration officials admit were mostly symbolic. let's get more on this from cnn washi
