david: finally, another subject was addressed in the news conference with nancy pelosi and chuck schumer, whether congress can move forward simultaneously with the president on infrastructure at the same time the house is investigating him. made it pretty clear that both speaker pelosi and majority leader schumer said we can move forward on both. right now, we are in the middle of a big tussle over the deutsche bank records. should congress be pressing that?d with to your point, don't the american people care about infrastructure a lot more than deutsche bank records? sen. cardin: i think the american people care about both. i think congress has a responsibility to do both. it is our constitutional responsibility to follow up on the robert mueller report. we have to do that. we have that constitutional response ability. we cannot avoid it. we need to be aggressive. at the same time, we need to act on issues that are important to the american people, including modernizing our infrastructure. our roads and bridges are not doing what it needs to do for america's future. nor is our water sys

we listened there to a few words from chuck schumer.ncy pelosi spoke to the press afterwards. one of the points they made, they felt donald trump in the meeting today had a positive attitude. do you agree with that assessment? >> i think it was a very positive meeting. i came in out of the meeting very optimistic. speaker pelosi and chuck schumer laid it out very clearly that there was agreement that we would have a big, bold deal. you've heard the $2 trillion number used as far as the number that we could find agreement on. but especially around the importance of infrastructure across america. and i highlighted what broadband coverage, the lack of fast internet, affordable internet across states like new mexico, why it matters so very much. whether it's the one in four in rural america that don't have access today, one in eight schools that are not keeping up with the recommendations coming out of the fcc. and also the importance of this from a life safety issue. the missing and murdered indigenous women and children across the united

chuck schumer called for taking some of those back. still open to raising the gas tax but not making it so punitive, that that tax, a repressive tax, would fall disproportionately on the poor, middle class that sort of thing. they haven't come to any agreement on that. but their message was very, very clear. they hope to, and they found today's meeting quite constructive in that regard. so they both share the same goal for infrastructure spending that would include not only some of the obvious things like utility grids and roads and bridges, highways but broadband and water and energy and housing an even the border. "axios" reporter kaitlin owens with us now. kaitlin, there seems more for agreement on the goal but how to pay for it is the tricky part. >> let's not brush over this. the democrats said they agreed on $2 trillion for infrastructure spending. in context the administration put out before was 200 million. this is huge increase. "axios" reported over the weekend that trump told a top democrat he wanted that 2 trillion-dollar n

host: what is his relationship like with chuck schumer? jake: again, a long-standing relationship with chuck schumer and they cut a deal in 20 to keep the government funded. they are both new yorkers. in-laws lived in a trump apartment building in new york and were always taken by fred trump jake you limousines. limousines -- trump's limousines. -- would practically be unstoppable. he was caught on a height -- a hot mic on the senate floor saying this. an interesting relationship but now it is not a good one. host: kenneth in arkansas, democrat. good morning. caller: good morning. what i'm going to tell your guest will bubbly shocked them. i called in about two or three months ago and try to tell the public what is going on. donald trump ran for president and had a couple things he wanted to do. he picked jeff sessions as his ag so he could cover up the criminal stuff. then he went to mitch mcconnell so he could not get impeached in the senate and once he did that, he had mitch mcconnell's wife as the transportation secretary. he has a che

the important thing later today is if nancy pelosi and chuck schumer come out of that door and come ande their readout of the meeting and we'll see how quickly this devolves into recrimination and name calling. the advantage that pelosi and schumer have they can come out and make their point real iic. there is always the possibility the president will bring in the cameras but no indication of that yet, hallie. >> the sticks meaning the gaggle of cameras that ist sh shootingt door right there. >> how dare you accuse me of speaking in white house jargon. the sticks means the cameras so they can come out and talk. >> hans, you're so in it. appreciate it. thank you. >>> coming up, president trump's embattled federal reserve pick now defending himself in a new interview and creating more controversy as he's doing it. what he's now saying, you've got to hear this, about the decline of male pay. moking cold turkey. so chantix can help you quit slow turkey. along with support, chantix is proven to help you quit. with chantix you can keep smoking at first and ease into quitting so when the day a

native policy, chuck schumer, mitch mcconnell, etc. we will take your comments. over the past two years, this is the book, "the hill to die on: the battle for congress and the frome of trump's america," the perspective of capitol hill, trumprst two years of the administration. before you that fork in the road, he makes a phone call to mitch mcconnell about whether or not he can stay with mr. trump. anna: it's pretty stunning. election, hethe was going to let his members say, do what you need to do to win. use considering making a public announcement that he was not with the president. mcconnell, it gives an insight into how he leads, he said, keep talking. don't do that. mitch mcconnell thought it would of been the end of the book that republican party. they needed to be with this president, because he was going to be the party's nominee. >> talk about the relationship between mitch mcconnell and this president. how often do they talk? how this to navigated the last two years? jake: they spoke a lot. mitch mcconnell went up to trump tower days after the election.

president trump will meet tomorrow with nancy pelosi and chuck schumer to talk infrastructure. breaking news tonight, the democrats just might blow it. watch this, pelosi and schumer demanding a trillion dollars, the new taxes over ten years, to pay for any infrastructure deal and take on climate change. the president is moving a different direction with private tie disaition. we'll talk about that tonight. this as congress returns to work this week. democrat chairs of four house committees keeping hope alive to bring down the president. trump still says i'm not complying. and the attorney general is supposed to testify twice this week now fushing back saying no, i won't agree to your terms of how i'll testify. we'll show you the pushback. rosenstein appointed robert mueller and he will resign effect live may 11. >>> beto o'rourke can't get the democratic base fired up so now he wants a 5 trillion-dollar green deal to blow on the government run overhauls of things like buildings for being unefficient. one and a half trillion dollars in new taxes for this, this as president trum

nancy pelosi and chuck schumer coming to the white house next hour. what can you do together, kellyanne? >> hopefully infrastructure. we have crumbling bridges and roads in disrepair, 260,000 water main breaks a year. air traffic control system was built to accommodate 100,000 annual passengers. we have close to 1 billion. if they'rreand not talking about impeachment we welcome them here. it is a big bipartisan effort. it can't be the green new deal in disguise. it can't be the environment and labor unions as some pieces of that letter suggested yesterday. true infrastructure, let's work on that together. >> bill: we remember the last time we got together. will bill barr testify before the house thursday? >> we'll leave that to him. he is testifying to the senate. the harassment of bill barr and the disrespect is disgraceful to this man who spent his career in public service and private law practice. no less of a soul than joe biden voted for his confirmation of attorney general first time around. i think people are mad at bob mueller and his investig

they are both new yorkers, chuck schumer's in-laws lived in a trump apartment building in new york and were always taking trumps limousine so it's an interesting relationship, the all beastly don't agree much on policy but for a time he thought trump would be able to set right and step left. being liberal sometimes in conservative sometimes and practically unstoppable. he was caught on a hot mike think this. interesting relationship but now basically nonexistent. >> in arkansas, democrat, good morning. >> good morning. it's probably going to shock them but i called about two or three months ago and tried to tell the public what was going on. donald trump ran for president and he had a saying he wanted to do, first he paid sessions so he could cover the criminal stuff, then he went to mitch mcconnell so he could get impeached in the senate. then he hired mcconnell's wife, he has a check coming into his house. he gets paid, his wife works for trump. she's a lot, then understand what's going on. i've been putting this whole thing, trump does not quite there. once they pick that, he will.

you had both the speaker and you had chuck schumer saying that the investigations didn't come up.it's hard to believe that they are not going to come up. at the same time, the white house is kind of perpetuating the length of these things in providing testimony, but do you think the investigations will be getting in the way of any sort of deal they might be striking? >> you know, they could, but i think, you know, we have -- we have rarely have times to be optimistic, and let's just own it right now because you had these democrats who have not had very many positive meetings with president trump coming out saying that he didn't talk about that, for now, and that they did have, like you said, words like constructive discussions about something that both of them, the democrats and president trump did campaign on, on the notion of infrastructure, the devil is in the details, how do you pay for it and what's the mechanism? is there a private partnership, or is it just public funding? all of those are important questions to answer, but for now the fact that he didn't bring it up, which

kasie, first to you as we await the possibility of chuck schumer and nancy pelosi coming auds. we believe that meeting has wrapped up. talking about infrastructure. the larger picture is this showdown between the administration and house democrats over the mueller support, subpoenas over whether william barr will show up on thursday. >> reporter: that's the tense backdrop for what is billed as a conversation about a massive infrastructure plan. we have been talking about the potential for this. how many weeks have we had here in washington throughout the course of the trump presidency. it's one area where we think both parties and potentially the president could all come to an agreement and maybe the only hope for getting anything done legislate i haively before the presidential race is in the heat of everything. this president has been pretty fixated on these investigations. has refused to comply with any requests. said they will not answer any subpoenas. his family is suing the congress over subpoenas related to capital one that look into his finances. they say there's no leg

and i asked chuck schumer, you've had agreements on things in principal like immigration in the past that have imploded in the next couple daves and why do you believe this will come to fruition and he said for him, hope springs eternal, brooke. >> the optimism is pervasive. phil mattingly, thank you very much. >>> let's get analysis. jamie gangel is here with me. and there was a lot of love it seems like. >> until there is not. >> a lot of kumbaya and a rainbow from congress to capitol hill. a total 180 from last time they were together. >> we saw a love fest today. and let's remember in listening to phil talking about it, what didn't we see today? there were no pictures. remember a few months ago -- >> it was not a camera. >> president trump thought it would be great f-- great to hav a camera in there about the shutdown and we know how that ended. today no cameras. also no other republican members of congress in the room. but when they came out it was very, very productive. good will and all of this optimism. let's not forget this is, as phil said, something that president trump li

but senator chuck schumer reportedly won't support that plan unless president trump repeals part of his tax law. cheryl: all right. well, here are some other headlines making news this morning. the leader of isis reportedly has made his first appearance in five years. the terror group releasing what it says is a new video message from him. the man shown urging followerrerfollowersto fight on. u.s. officials say they are trying to validate the video. the measles outbreak is growing. the cdc says there are 704 cases confirmed in 22 states. health officials are blaming anti-vaxxers, telling parents the measles vaccine is completely safe for children. well, another setback for samsung. the company reporting a 57% decline in first quarter profits, that's the weakest in two years. they blame a drop in chip prices and slowing demand for display panels. they hope to h revive growth wih the foldable screen phone but the release was delayed after there were problems with the display. the office subletter, wee work, filed for an initial public offering, making it the latest startup to shoot for th

. >> it was well done, and remember what chuck schumer said two years ago about then president-elect trump, he said if you mess with the intelligence community, they have six ways from sunday of getting back at you. bill barr is going to find out if that statement was actually carried out. and that's what i so appreciate what the attorney general said. and i think that the american people appreciate it too. when you think about they won a attorney general whose focus on accountability in truth, and that's exactly what bill barr will get to, and he will figure out if what chuck schumer said is in fact what took place, and all of the things that you went through, it sure looks like it did. it sure looks like it. >> sean: and when the attorney general said today, sarah, that the trump campaign was spied on in multiple ways, correct? >> yes, absolutely, i mean, he wants to get to the bottom of it. he says that the trump campaign was spied on, he does not know what the predicate for that spying was, he wants to look into it. he wants to investigate it. he wants to understand it. and he is

senate minority leader chuck schumer and speaker nancy pelosi. billed to be a conversation all about infrastructure. look toward this country's decaying roadways and bridges. the last time this trio met, it did not go quite so well. >> you know what i'll say? yes. if we don't get what we want one way or the other whether it's through you, through military, through anything you want to call, i'll shut down the government. >> okay, fair enough. we disagree. >> i'm proud to shut down the government for border security, chuck. >> well, the longest government shutdown in history, 35 days soon followed. the president blamed democrats for the shutdown despite what we just heard from him. hans nickehols is with us, jeff bennett also joins us and phil rutger. what are white house officials saying about this meeting? do they really expect a deal on infrastructure this time? >> reporter: they might not expect a deal. they want clarity on what the democrats think their definition of infrastructure is. all morning long that's been the line here, the white hou

ainsley: nancy pelosi and chuck schumer are not happy with the summary.o testify so they can ask him the questions. do you think they will or should this be over? >> you know, ainsley, i think a lot of this is filling the air wheel we were waiting for the report to come. once we have a concrete report in front of us and we can read it, the next steps will kind of suggest them selves. so, you know, while we didn't have the report in front of us, they want to complain about barr's letter. you know, their worst imagination of what's in the report and the big coverup and should mueller come in. now we are going to have the report. my experience, this is extraordinary event. but, you know, you are frequently in a situation where there is a lot you don't know and what do you know. and what tends to happen in these situations is the thing you do know is what occupies everybody's attention. it's just the way it works. ed: you compare william barr to his predecessor jeff sessions seems like the grown up in the room and saying i'm taking control of this now. i have

president trump meets with nancy pelosi and chuck schumer on infrastructure. trump administration is asking for more money to address the humanitarian crisis at our southern border as the president calls for change how the u.s. handles asylum cases that and so much more on making money. military uprising taking place in venezuela as opposition leader juan guaido declareses quote the final phrase of his plan to overthrow the maduro regime. it starts today. the white house says it is monitoring the situation. meanwhile vice president pence tweeting his support for ousting maduro. all the freedom loving people taking to the streets today are with you. america will stand with you until freedom and democracy are restored. #freevenezuela. to break down what is happening right now, ceo and co-founder lily, and the foundation for defense of democracy, senior fellow emanuel lagy. let me start with you, lily. we had this discussion on self occasions. i don't know this feels like it sort of came out of blue. many observers were wondering when something like this would ha

according to chuck schumer, somewhere in the neighborhood o. it wouldyear on infrastructure,d again, no word on this point on how that would be paid for. they were in agreement on infrastructure predental immigration did not come up at this meeting, but there is certainly plenty of points of departure between the white house and democrats. immigration, certainly, it's one of those. as well as investigation. a couple of i words for you there. the most recent letter departure and immigration is the executive order that the president talked about last night, which would change the asylum process, to a large degree, here in the united states. the proposal that the president is looking at, it would streamline the court proceedings for elaine to pass the initial few determinations. it would educate all asylum applications and immigration courts within 180 days of filing. but here's a controversial part -- it would require people applying for asylum to pay a fee for claiming asylum, and also pay a fee for work permit applications. the opposition is cr

>> ed: that had lied to me is that chuck schumer still can't get a conspiracy theory.cy theory. there are facts beyond the idea that the dossier, unverified, was used to surveilled, spy, use your word. carter page, others in the trump campaign. you mentioned devin nunes on sean hannity. we had any number of people like chuck schumer attacking sean hannity and others of this network that months ago, years ago, it was a conspiracy theory. there are facts behind it now. it's about time that serious people of the justice department, bill barr -- as i think eric trump set on "fox & friends" this morning -- she's the adult in the room. you mentioned jeff sessions before, he was asleep while this was happening in the posting. he didn't investigate any of it. so maybe it will turn out to be a lot of nothing. i doubt it, but let's get the facts. to call it a conspiracy theory is ridiculous. >> harris: so william barr said at the hearing most recently that he didn't have evidence of the spying but he had a lot of questions. so now, to further those questions, you get these eight

this is a topic you're familiar with, you look at nancy pelosi, you look at chuck schumer on the senate side. chuck schumer's political career was made in 1998 when he won that senate seat in new york, he had been behind the white water investigation that led to bill clinton's impeachment. to the extent democrats were leading congress today, making these decisions about how to handle impeachment, how much of their strategy is informed by their experiences being there, and i say in schumer's case, having his career made by the political realities of 1998. >> sure. and you've written about this. chuck schumer may have been the only people on both the house and senate side during the clinton impeachment. he was on house judiciary committee and voted on impeachment after the election, and then voted on the house floor, then took a senate seat, participated in the trial that followed. that's pretty unique experience. nancy pelosi of course was in the house and went through that as well. the lesson they took away from that is partisan impeachment doesn't work. if the president's own party doe

and here are nancy pelosi chuck schumer... >> katie: with labor workers, as well! >> lawrence: the question is, where do they get the true trillion dollar number from? the programs -- is this going to be another project for all of their friends in congress? where they get to pay them and say, "hey, we know that guy! let's give him the construction deal." there needs to be transparency in and a bidding process. >> harris: you know what that sounds like, like? swamptastic. >> lawrence: it is. what trump won that they have to take back, in this presidential race. they need promises and those congressional districts. there is nothing better than telling the local businessmen that is a construction worker, "hey, i've got you." >> katie: it from the companies, as well. if you go solyndra on us after we give you millions and billions of dollars, you have to repay that money to the market taxpayer. because you're being given an opportunity to help your country, rebuild the infrastructure. if you want to waste it with accountability, there has to be a consequence for that,

stand that he has a story and was actually dorian for a short amount of time but i want to this chuck schumer tweeted today quote now that julian a sound has been arrested i hope you will soon be held to account for his meddling in our elections on behalf of the russian government max. anything i loved you say what you say i'm a good old chuck schumer you have seen this from a lot of democrats i saw this from the foreign affairs committee from their account and they also took the chance to attack dan cohen a correspondent here you can see hillary clinton dead enders like neera tanden use the same language and this demonstrates an important point that i think the public needs to understand in order to prevent julian assange and his extradition which is that there is absolutely no way given this atmosphere that these partisan hacks of encouraged or given might pompei a word for him to wiki leaks as a non-state hostile intelligence operation that he can get a fair trial in the united states let me read to you article three of the convention of torture ratified by the u.k. which is holding julian

nancy pelosi and chuck schumer said they want to hear directly from robert mueller.s your next move? >> we are in the majority. chairman nadler has the gavel and subpoena power. i'm confident that we will be subpoenaing barr and mueller. we want -- mueller, we may not need a subpoena >> do you think he'll voluntarily come? >> i hope he will. i think he might. he's probably confident in his work and knows the role congress has to play in terms of oversight. i feel confident that mr. mueller and he'll be the more important person to hear from. barr just came to the party recently and is in it to protect the president. >> congresswoman dean, great to have you here. >> my pleasure. thanks >> chris? >> all right. the man coming up as an unfamiliar face with a unique name in a crowded field for the democratic nomination. how can former colorado governor john hickenlooper stand out? he makes the case to you next. we switched to tide pods free & gentle. it's gentle on her skin, and dermatologist recommended. tide free and gentle. safe for skin with psoriasis, and eczema. ♪ l

there was a time during the transition where chuck schumer was afraid donald trump was going to come out of the gate and do an infrastructure deal that would be hard for democrats to not go with it. i don't know if you can recapture the mojo, but they'll try to do it, two and a half years later. is the president going to be conciliatory? is he going to raise the house investigations? is he going to start talking about impeachment, out of concern? i doubt he'll do that when cameras are rolling, but there will likely be a portion of the meeting not televised, everybn some of it is. i don't think anybody expects much substantive is going to get done. democrats need to look like they're willing to work across the aisle with him. they're facing elections in key states and key districts next year. they have to look at swing districts as if they can afford co compromise with the president. >> whatever they agree to today sometimes gets changed. >> very, very true. it is not as if these things are ironclad when they're agreed to in the room. >> maggie, scoop machine, you have another scoop i

both nancy pelosi, speaker of the house, chuck schumer the democratic leader saying the president did not bring up impeachment or investigations nor did they, and they believe that they can at least try, try to move forward on a bipartisan area of interest. we'll see if they can get to agreement while the oversight and investigations go forward. again, insert skepticism here. but it was a remarkable moment. with me in studio to share their reporting, jackie kucinich with "the daily beast, "tamarah keith and camara demergian and ay philip. speaker pelosi said we cannot ignore the needs of the american people even with the oversight responsibility. i don't want to be a cynic but i'm skeptical. everybody is complimenting the president saying he came engaged and was with them when he talked up the price tag and making a commitment athlete for now that this is important, we should be able to repair roads and bridges, improve broadband, which helps from a infrastructure perspective and helps education and healthcare, and this issue has been on the issue for years, dating back to the obama p

principles on immigration policy and what is your expectation for working with nancy pelosi and chuck schumer? i understand they are coming to the white house. sarah: the meeting tomorrow that you mentioned, the primary focus is infrastructure, it wouldn't be surprised if immigration is discussed as well. two very big topics. others are now starting to recognize what the president has been saying all along that we really do have a crisis at the border and it is inhumane for us to ignore it longer. we have a number of unaccompanied children skyrocketing. the number of those individuals coming across our border, being smuggled and taken advantage of and exploited and now members of the democrat party, hopefully, are seeing exactly what the president's been talking about and will have a new willingness to help us address it, that they haven't had in the past. we'd like to see that happen tomorrow. you'll also see us talk about infrastructure, a place there should be a lot of cooperation between republicans and democrats. it's vital for our country to repair our bridges, our roads, our airports a

what to expect when the president sits down with nancy pelosi and chuck schumer this time tomorrow. in pittsburgh, joe biden officially kicking off his presidential campaign. the former vice president is about to make his case for the middle class at his first live rally. we'll talk about his word on the economy. >>> new fears of being watched at 30,000 feet? have you heard about this? cameras built into planes. how much major airlines are responding to the growing complaints from passengers about those planes. you want to hear about that whether you're being spied on in the sky. connell: on the markets today, the s&p 500, nasdaq closing at all-time highs, third time this year, that we've seen that. alphabet ending up with a new record close of its own, first time in nine months, we've seen that. now it comes ahead of earnings report due out any second now. adam lashinsky joins us from fortune and jonas mack fair remembers. both are fox news network contributors. first on alphabet, google's parent company. all-time high for the stock. this is the big run after everybody thought they

president trump sitting down with nancy pelosi and chuck schumer amazingly finding some common ground we did come to one agreement that the agreements would be big and bold. our distinguished leader from the senate will announce how big and how bold. >> we agreed on a number, which was very, very good, $2 trillion for infrastructure. originally we started a little lower. even the president was eager to push it up to $2 trillion. melissa: joining us on the phone democratic senator tom carper attended today's meeting. was it as congenial on inside when the folks came out and talked to the cameras? >> there was good spirit in the room. folks there were more interested in finding common ground, focus on our differences. there is recognition that the need is great. the interest was in the forming a package that includes not just roads, highways, bridges, all that is important but include transit an water projects, clean water, wastewater, water projects involving harbors and deployment of broadband just in rural parts of country where, folks not in inner cities don't have access. there is

anything i loved you say what do you say about a good old chuck schumer they also took the chance to attack dan cohen a correspondent here you can see hillary clinton dead enders like neera tanden use the same language and this demonstrates an important point that i think the public needs to understand in order to prevent julian assange and his extradition which is that there is. no way given this atmosphere that these partisan hacks of encouraged or given might pompei a war for him to wiki leaks as a non-state hostile intelligence operation that he can get a fair trial in the united states let me read to you article three of the convention of torture ratified by the u.k. which is holding julian assange in one nine hundred ninety eight no state party shall expel return or extradite a person to another state where there are substantial grounds for believing that he or she would be in danger of being subjected to torture not only will it not receive a fair trial in the us given what happened to chelsea manning which was a possible form of torture and led to barack obama's pardon there

fascinating insight into his mind. >> he also has a personal relationship with nancy pelosi and chuck schumer in common with them than with paul ryan and mitch mcconnell from the midwest. there is an ease with which he interacts with them as well. >> you did 26 months of reporting, interviewed scores of people. what did you find out about how the republicans in congress have been able to so unabashedly get on board with what the president wants to do even when it used to go against things they said they believed in? >> i think the reality on capitol hill and we see this every day and it became clear in the book is republicans represent districts around the country that are so fervently in favor of donald trump there is a political downside to opposing the president on almost every issue. this president has of course changed the republican party. people are going home and the constituents are saying, why haven't you been with the president more? why are you not standing by him and protecting him more? some members have retired because they felt like they couldn't be with him as much as the con

in minutes president trump will welcome nancy pelosi and chuck schumer to talk infrastructure. peter, we all remember the three time there's three met, things got a little wild. is that what we're expecting today? >> reporter: yeah, there was that meeting in the situation room that nobody saw but reports were that the president stomped out, walked out after pounding his fists on the table. that time it led to the longest government shutdown in this nation's history. so i guess the biggest takeaway from what will happen about an hour and a half from now is if anything is to get done in the next 18 months, today will give us a pretty good indication of that is the case. the two sides focusing on what has been a common cause for democrats and republicans, this idea of an infrastructure project. but the real question right now is how much it would cost and how they would pay for it. nancy pelosi is saying this deal would need to be more than a trillion dollars, perhaps as much as two trillion. certainly that would require tax increases likely or certainly other painful compromises.

bay area house speaker nancy pelosi along with chuck schumer issuing a statement. they talk about what they call the regrettably partisan handling of rolling out this mueller report. attorney general's william barr's irresponsible testimony and what they expect will be spin we news conference that's starting in less than half an hour, they say it's created a crisis of confidence here in the united nations and to deal with that, the only way to deal with it they say is to get special counsel robert mueller in to answer questions about how he put together that report and how he did the investigation. >> so interesting. so you mentioned the news conference, walk us through the time line of what to expect this morning? >> sure, news conference, new this morning, we have learned attorney general barr will address executive privilege, when they feel they don't have to answer questions of investigators. they will talk about their conversations with the white house in recent weeks. there is a report out from the "new york times" this morning that they brief the white house
