there is chris steele right there, behind the dossier they describe steele as business associate that research into trump's russia ties but do not mention that fusion gps was funded by the dnc and hillary clinton. ainsley: that's why there's 13 republicans who wrote that letter to the president in june included trey gowdy and devin nunes they are saying there irregularities with the sources. the information is not consistent. they have a problem with the fbi operations guide that prohibits the fbi from using unverified material to obtain fisa warrants. they are saying that dirty dossier that the president tweeted about this weekend he called it the dirty dossier. that was used to spy on carter page it was unverified which means it's illegal. steve: big question is and republicans have asked for a while unredacted versions. republicans i think it was mark meadows of north carolina that said keep the names, the methods and the secrets secret. ainsley: classified information. steve: everything else, there is a lot of stuff here you would think is not a method of surveillance or anything

chris steele was one of them, asking: and after air force one landed at stansted airport and the demonstrations those two cabinet resignations within 24 hours, reported here on monday's news at six. the foreign secretary went this afternoon. he disagreed with the prime minister's latest brexit plan. and earlier, the brexit secratary said he was resigning as he didn't believe in theresa may's exit strategy. big political news no doubt, but two newswatch viewers objected to the coverage, recording videos to explain why. here's francis fa ruja and first, john gillifer. when the disagreement and subsequent resignation over brexit were announced, the immediate reaction of those covering seemed to be, "what does this mean for theresa may's future as prime minister?" surely what's important is how it affects the brexit process, the infighting within and between our parties should surely be secondary. in general, the coverage of the brexit process seems to spend far too much time concentrating on the interaction between our politicians at the expense of giving any detail on what's been decided. unfortu

was reason to believe the fbi had not been forthcoming with the fisa court about the fact that chris steele had potential bias' and he was hired by partisan operatives on the democratic national committee in order to do opposition research on trump. now with we know, of course, the fbi devoted nearly a page to disclosing steele's potential bias of that kind. so, it's going to be gowdy who will have to answer for this. we have not heard them say, so far, how they are going to spin this. of course, anyone who reads the fisa warrant can see in plain black and white the nunes memo was nothing but -- i mean, it was very misleading, a complete partisan thing that the fbi improperly surveilled the campaign, which makes no sense. the surveillance did not begin until after he left the campaign, a month after he left the campaign. the whole thing is nonsensical. >> here is the declassified fisa warrant. there are lots of redactions on it. at the top, it's dated, the application is dated 10, blacked out, 2016. this took place before the united states election, before the election in 2016. so, the fbi

cameras absolved her, his fbi was meeting secretly in a building in london with the ex-mi6 agent, chris fear steeleured out of thin air this phony fabricated dossier and that was the pretext to launch this buy lating investigation of -- dilating investigation of trump to frame him for things he didn't do. trish: has anybody in the government been able to verify anything in the dossier? >> no. trish: did they even try by the way? >> no. nothing. trish: they had unverified document they then used to launch all of this? >> they knew it was a fake document. everybody, i invite you to read online, every time i read it, i laughed out loud. it is hilarious. trish: something out after supermarket tabloid. >> on its face, the first memo in the dossier, trump and putin have been colluding for five to eight years in reference to the election. he didn't even know he was going to run five or eight years before 2016. so that is preposterous. trish: so ridiculous you would think they would know by reading it was not authentic. >> all the sources. look at it, double, triple, quadruple hearsay from anonymous source

his wife was working at fusion gps who put together the dossier with chris steele.raps up, but i will say this, it needs to wrap up for the good of the country. we need to get this behind us. as rudy giuliani said yesterday, which was rather i know it got at love attention but quite unremarkable. collusion is not a crime. no evidence of any of collusion here involving our client and the russians. let's make that factual statement for the record here. we have seen nothing in the millions literally 1.4 million documents that have been sent over by the white house and many more that have been sent over by the campaign that indicates any russian involvement with the trump campaign especially the president of the united states goes or other people. collusion isn't a crime that was twisted out of context. all the men tator commentators s rudy giuliani is correct collusion is not a crime. not technically. it is not a violation of any rule statute or regulation that we have seen after reviewing this case for a year i think bob mueller will come to the same conclusion. he wi

now that we have seen that q it does look like the fbi was relying on that steele dossier more than they let on. chris zuckerberg $1 billion in one day. >> chris: a million dollars is a rounding error. a.b. winner. >> bret baier free press hero who to clarify for people on twitter the other night it's not about when you align yourself with other members of the media in access to the president. it's not about coverage. it's about access. the loser don blankenship, love him don't want him to away. is he trying to elect senator manchin. he tried to get back on the ballot after losing the primary and constitution party no. according to the sore loser. you can't come in. no longer welcome on the ballot. >> chris: mollie winner. >> brett kavanaugh. he seems to be doing fairly well and democratic efforts to fight this by demanding millions of documents failed when mitch mcconnell told schumer no go. he has every reason to be happy. >> chris: your loser? >> rod rosenstein he has a range of opinion among republicans and the worst is that people thought he should be impeached for failing to turn over the docume

application relied on steele's past record of credible reporting on unrelated matters, it ignored or concealed his anti-trump financial and ideological motivations. here is what law fair, david chris of law fair, writes today. now we can see that the footnote disclosing steele's possible bias takes up more than a full page in the application, so there is literally no way the fisa court could have missed it. the fbi gave the court enough information to evaluate steele's credibility. frank, talk about that. when you are drafting a fisa application, what sort of stuff goes in there? from what you can see, do the republicans have any cause for concern here in how it was drafted? >> katy, from what i can see, the only cause for concern that the republicans is that they have been shown to be inaccurate about their claims regarding this affidavit. in fact, even though i would have cringed a couple of weeks ago if you were to tell me that the u.s. government was going to release a fisa affidavit, which is unprecedented, i am kind of glad they did because it shows to the world that the fbi submitted an affidavit that went out of its way to explain any potential bias or concerns about the d

chris murphy. thank you from connecticut. thank you for having him here. and thank you robert costa, ruth marcus, and michael steele. we'll be covering this story throughout this hour of course because it's all coming up tonight. the pick, the selection is at 9:00. we may get a leak, though. we might get a scoop. i'll be joining my colleague rachel maddow later on tonight following the president's 9:00 p.m. declaration. coming up next, the president's pick could tilt the court to the right for decades to come. he says 40 to 45 years he wants them to last. so what's at stake for roe v. wade, for gay rights? for more. corporate issues. plus trump's team stirs up -- or steps up its assault on the mueller probe. rudy giuliani now says that the special counsel needs to show evidence that trump committed a crime before the president will agree to an interview. how's that for getting it backwards? it's just talk of course. it's like trump saying i'll give you my tax returns when the audit is over. hmm. when's that audit going to finish? and boy does it work with the base, however. and will the battle over trump's supreme c

steele, chuck rosenfield. i'm nicolle wallace. mtp daily starts right now with chris jansing in for chuck. >> just another day at the anchor desk for nicolle wallace. and if it's thursday, scott pruitt is out. >>> good evening, i'm chris jansing in new york in for chuck todd. welcome to "mtp daily." we begin tonight with breaking news. epa chief scott pruitt has resigned after a shocking number of scandals and controversies simply proved too much, even for an administration that has become rather adept at powering through scandals and controversies. pruitt's ouster is an unbelievable development in that he lasted this long. as scandals piled up, the president continued to dig in, defending pruitt for his work in dismantling epa programs and regulations. as of last week, we counted a total of 15 ongoing federal inquiries into pruitt. there were allegations he abused taxpayer money via personal travel and other expenses. there were the allegations that he used the office in an attempt to enrich himself and his family. there were reports of a sweetheart deal involving a

steele. >> bruce ohr gave the fbi information relative to the dossier? >> yes. david: chrisolks, bruce ohr was very high up at the doj. his wife worked for fusion gps, which was the group paid for by the dnc, they put together the trump dossier, apparently, i guess her name is medical nellie ohr's husband, bruce, was passing information around the fbi. looks like one side of the presidential ticket, going into the election was generating an investigation at the fbi. that doesn't look good? >> yeah, that is the single-most important piece of information that came out of that wwe wrestling match yesterday we witnessed. that is a gem that was elicitedded by the congressman. because we now know that the dossier information, strzok was a little bit cagey about it, he didn't take it, but came into people worked under him, when finally got phrasing the question the right way, he gave that answer. i'm not so sure the fbi was not crawling out of their skin behind him, but they got the answer out anyway. david: they give me a wrap. i'm sorry. we're squeezed with breaking news. do you

chris on the warrant application on the website. he said "we can see the footnote disclosing christopher steele's possible bias takes up more than a full page in the applications. there is literally no way the fisa court could have missed it. the fbi gave the court enough information to evaluate christopher steele's credibility. that point being repeated often. >> one of the things you have to realize that with all the presses the certain members of the press work for the democratic party. that blog is one of them. every day there's a new attack. i don't put a lot of credibility into what they say. the fact of the matter is you have to present verified information to the court. let's not forget, to open up a counterintelligence investigation into a campaign, unprecedented. but then to use these invasive types of capabilities on an american citizen that should be very, very seldom used. in this case, not only did they use it, but they used it with information from the other candidates campaign, and it wasn't verified. >> laura: what they said about steel, with a put in the application is that there was reason to trust him. they don't re

david priess and michael steele, calling carter page the agent of a foreign power and trump says it helps him. chrises to break it down in 30 seconds. please don't, i'm saving those for later. at least you don't have to worry about renters insurance. just go to geico.com. geico helps with renters insurance? good to know. been doing it for years. that's really good to know. i'll check 'em out. get to know geico. and see how easy homeowners and renters insurance can be. >>> the other top story tonight is unprecedented. this is the first time the u.s. government has ever released a secret foreign intelligence wiretap application, heavily redacted as you can see. this 400 pages of documents does show some light on former campaign advisor, carter page. chris hayes has been reporting on it from the very start, he interviewed carter page on the ins and outs. this is what we're learning, debunking some of the attacks, showing the fbi first applied for a wiretap in 2016, based on the suspicion he was an agent of a foreign power. the kremlin conducting targeted recruitment on him to undermine the 2016 electio

chris page, bbc news. the white house has announced a $12 billion emergency aid package for american farmers affected by an escalating global trade war. president trump had introduced tariffs on steelse goods, but retaliation from around the world has seen prices for us produce slump. our north america editorjon sopel is at the white house. the president is on record as saying trade wars are easy to win. what do you think the mood is at the white house tonight? well, it is turning out to be a little more complicated. the president is having to resort to depression—era policies to come to the aid of farmers across the midwest, the very people who voted for donald trump, who now see their industries being hit really hard by ta riffs industries being hit really hard by tariffs imposed by mexico, china and by the european union. partly it will be direct aid to some of these farmers. also, the government buying their produce to keep prices up. for free—market republicans this is absolutely horrifying. some of the quotes today, one said this is giving out golden crutches. another said the us was becoming more like a soviet type economy. donald trump said this morning that tariffs are the

in addition to that, chris, there are dozens upon dozens of pages of redacted texts that certainly bolsters the case that it contains by in the steele dossier as well as other information in the declassified report that speaks to the fact that carter page was the target of the concerted russian effort to recruit him as a spy. >> devin nunes is trying to mislead but apparently does not take into account that we have this before us. not everybody backstage, not everybody is jumping on that band wag i don't knwagon of wha tweeted. let's listen to what marco rubio had to say when he was asked about this yesterday. >> i don't think they did anything wrong. they went to the court and they got the judges to approved it and laid out all the information and there was a lot of reasons unrelated to the dossier. suddenly devin nunes is going to say oh, by the way, i was wrong about that. this attack and this criticism of the foreign intelligence surveillance application to get surveillance o carter page is a key part and it is the crux of republicans attack on the mueller probe. the president himself has been arguing for months and months now t

steele dossier has negative been verified. lou: that of course, bob goodlatte, chairman of the house judiciary committee. "judicial watch" has been at the forefront of getting the fbi to release the fisa warrant. chris farrell, director of investigations and research for "judicial watch" joins us no. chris, good to have you here. congratulations to you, to "judicial watch," for the important work that always do for the country, but in this specific instance we're deeply appreciative because it goes to the very heart of what we have been talking about on this broadcast from the insipient point of the trump administration. >> thanks, lou. what we've seen, what we now have documented is gross misconduct. i'll call it what it is, it is criminal misconduct on the part of senior fbi agents and officials, attorneys on their staff as well as department of justice officials knowingly and willingly provided false and misleading evidence to foreign intelligence service court, to have them sign off, to conduct what is really a legal coup against president trump. it is just that simple. lou: it is that simple. it is that complex. it is that awful. the corruption is, you know, i'm still somewhat irritated at this

steel and aluminum. were getting hit by agricultural - - there's enough economic uncertainty that even with this strong number, the republicans are facing a strong head wind. >>chris: let's turn to the so-called trade truce between the administration and the president and the head of the commission talked about this. here they are. >> this was a very big day for free and fair trade. very big day indeed. >> i have the intention to make a deal today. and we made a deal today. >>chris: you heard my conversation just before in the last segment with secretary of treasury steve mnuchin. what are your resources telling you about real dialing down of tariffs? >> there is no dialing down. they all remain in place. the retaliatory tariffs and if what secretary manojsteve mnuch told you is true, it includes agricultural or they will have problems. because every country has its pets political issues they don't want to touch. for germany, it's cars. that's why cars weren't in that agreement. agriculture, big issue in europe. they've got their protected industries. >>chris: particularly in france. they said we don't want to lower agricultural tariffs. >> if the demand is we wan

let me get to chris robinson at the cme to talk about soybeans, the price of soybeans down 50% according to goldman sachs. is that where we're seeing real pain right now? i know the steel operators, the steel importers are feeling some pain but the farmers of the midwest are they the ones bearing the brunt right now? >> well i have to predicate this. five years ago, we were in 2012 we had a huge drought so that's one reason prices are so high on soybeans. we started this year at $10.60 and dropped to $8.25 in the last six weeks that's once people realized those tariffs are really going to kick in so we seen the flush, we lost 22% of the value of 4 billion-bushel crop so if that's going to continue, we could continue to go lower. the interesting thing is on the announcement today we actually finished higher on the day so the markets kind of adjusted for this and so the soybean farmers have definitely gotten hurt as have corn producers. we have a 14 billion-bushel corn crop, we lost $1 a bushel so you add that up the american farmer lost $20 billion worth of value in the last six weeks, so i think that that is something that it only affects the narrow part of the populat

chris coons mentioned this bipartisan measure that passed the senate to this week with a majority of republicans voting for trying to caution the president, against a procedure he used to impose these aluminum and steelcosting people jobs and costing consumers more for things like soybeans and motorcycles and jack daniels. this is an issue that could hurt republicans running in some of these red states. it could help some of the democratic senators were in some trouble on other issues, giving them an issue that goes to people's pocketbooks and some of the states that president trump carried in 2016. >>chris: finally, peter strzok, the infamous fbi agent finally testified in public about the texts he sent to his lover inside the agency. i never thought i'd be saying that. texts would show clear bias against donald trump which led to this exchange. >> when i see you looking there with a littlesmirk , how many times did you look so innocent into your wife's eyes and lie to her? >> the fact you would question whether or not that was the sort of look i would engage a family member why have acknowledged hurting goes more to a discussion about your character and what you stand for. >>chris: how credible his

had the privilege of working with chris in the department of justice more than a decade ago, and he is a quiet guy and he is a reserved guy, but he has a spine of steel. i think that's a fair description. it was his own, but i think it's fair. but here's what he's doing through internal messages, e-mails to the entire workforce. i think he's up to about three dozen office visits now. i believe he's doing another one today. he's taken this message to the field, to the men and women of the fbi, 37,000 strong, and they get to hear from the director. they get to see what kind of guy he is. he's not a loud guy, he doesn't pound the table, but his spine is made of steel and he will not cross a line, he will not do the wrong thing, he will stand for the rule of law. the men and women in the fbi are hearing that, and they need to. >> all right, we need to sneak in one more break. don't go anywhere. no one is going anywhere. we'll be right back. the line between work and life hasn't just blurred. it's gone. that's why you need someone behind you. not just a card. an entire support system. whether visiting the airport lounge to catch up on what's really import

chris cuomo with a look at what's coming up on "cuomo prime time." >> i'm just looking at one of the big scripts now, anderson, because what we're going to try to do tonight is steelhactual the situation of what was said in helsinki. we're going to examine the words. i've been watching your show tonight. you laid it out so eloquently and you had some great panels on the words versus the meaning and the obvious intention. i believe we can diagram the arguments that were being made tonight, that we can show you what the president actually meant based on what he said in the past and what he said yesterday. so we're going to do that. and also, with the clumsy cover today comes the first wave of those who will defend the president. and we have them on tonight. a lawmaker here who says he believes the president and he wants to make the case to the audience. we're going to test it. >> all right. chris, appreciate it. i look forward to that. a stunning claim also, what one uk lawmaker is saying now about facebook voter data collect bid cambridge analytica and the potential ties to russia. what will you discover with a lens made by essilor? sharper vision, without limits.
