and nbc chris hayes will look at racial inequality in the united states. >> this era of what we know starts at the moment of-- or the peak of the level rights movement in the chronically bound sense that we think of it and it starts at the moment when, you know, jim crowe legislation is being dismantled. huge up in the northern cities and the fight comes to northern cities where essentially the fight is lost. i mean, you get the fair housing act, in some ways it's a high water mark, but then you have the busing fights and you get what you get. you get essentially a society that gives up on the project of desegregation as a social. and there are dozens of court decisions that whittle away from it, parent involve almost makes it impossible to create a desegregation theme voluntarily through a school district, through the abandonment of fair housing legislation, everybody. like the enforcement of it, right? so what facilitates this, we have each other living near each other. we've given up on desegregation and in its places, we'll put corralling and controlling. and a big thing i've com

"the washington post" first to report today that the law enforcement investigation into possible coordination between russia and the trump campaign has identified a current white house official as a significant person of interest. the post reporting the investigation appears to be entering a more overtly active phase and is likely to intensify. post reporter matt zeptosky described the situation early or msnbc. >> you're going to see subpoenas, potential interview requests in the coming weeks and the big way is now a focus of it is

i'm chris hayes. yet another member of the president's inner circle has come under scrutiny in the russia investigation. both the house and senate intelligence committees have requested information and testimony from one michael cohen, the president's personal lawyer and longtime confidant, someone not previously known to be involved in the russia probe. cohen was alleged to have attended a secret meeting last summer in prague to discuss russian hacking of democratic targets, something he strongly denies. cohen told msnbc he's declining to comply with the committee's requests. the request letters first reported by abc news were the same ones initially sent to michael flynn, paul manafort, roger stone, and carter page according to a congressional aide. all one-time trump associates whose ties to russian officials are currently under review. flynn, we found out tonight, will provide some documents under subpoena to the senate intelligence panel. another former trump aide, boris epstein has received an i

i'm chris hayes. we now know the white house has been lying about why the president fired james comey. the director of the fbi overseeing an investigation into the trump campaign. and we know this because today, the president himself weighed in. since comey was fired two nights ago, the white house has offered a series of shifting, conflicting, pretextual rationales for the move. vice president mike pence, press secretary sean spicer, white house counselor kellyanne conway among others all insisted the president was merely acting on the recommendation of deputy attorney general rod rosenstein, who conducted a review of his own initiative. asked yesterday if the president had made up his mind to fire comey before receiving rosenstein's memo, deputy press secretary sarah huckabee sanders answered unequivocally. >> isn't it true that the president had already decided to fire james comey, and he asked the justice department to put together the rationale for that fire something. >> no. >> when did he make

bernie sandiers you saw with chris hayes, and the president said "big win in the house, very exciting, when everything comes together we'll have truly great health care." the excitement in the white house, they're desire to exile e ize -- capitalize on all of this, it is a win in theense that 48 hours earlier we didn't think it could happen, and they pressured fred up ton, came up with an amendment. they worked on that compromise, and i guess paul ryan breathing a big sigh of relief. >> the first time they took a crack at this, they failed. it was an embarrassing defeat. the president himself at the time acknowledging there was intricate rules that he was not familiar with when e relatihe c the house. and what was different this time around, analysts will say is that the president really dug into the question of the politics of this. how to get that compromise amendment of the very foreigny issue of prekpiexisting conditi, but that he got more engaged in the aspect of the fight, and it was coming off of the heels of tough news days. he took that big victory lap yesterday when he was f

he spoke to msnbc chris hayes.ten to how he described the altercation. >> went up and asked him about it and should have said, you know, tried to -- you know, talk to my communications person. i just followed up and said, you know, you've been talking about this, just wanted to get your response and then he should have said no, i've had enough and next thing i know i'm being body slammed and he -- you know, is on top of me for a second, my glasses are broken. it is the strangest -- the strangest moment in my entire life reporting. >> dave, this was about a question. this was all over a question about health care, the republican health care plan and the score for the congressional budget office which show 23 million people without coverage over 10 years. it says a lot about health care debate in this country? >> yes, this is 2.0, trump care 1.0 had a 17% approval rating. this could be emblematic that he has a grudge with the reporter. he exposed the $250,000 the republican had invested in russian index fund of which

. >> good evening from new york, i'm chris hayes, for the first time today, the person at the center of one of the most extraordinary dramas of the trump administration spoke out publicly. former acting attorney general sally yates telling members of congress that she clearly and repeatedly warned the trump white house that it's one time national security adviser michael flynn faced potential blackmail from a hostile russian government. >> we believe that general flynn was compromised with respect to the russians. logic would tell you that you don't want the national security adviser to be in a position where the russians have leverage over it. now, in terms of what impact that may have had or could have had, i can't speak to that. but we knew that that was not a good situation, which is why we wanted to let the white house know about it. >> yates and obama administration hold over and serve as acting attorney general for ten days was fired by trump after refusing to defend his ban of travellers from seven predominantly nations in court. four days after she said she warned the white
