interesting reaction from kellyanne conway's husband. george conway. trolling the president by retweeting the story with the words this is flabbergasting. he was considered for several justice department posts early in the presidency. he has become a low-key critic of the president. cnn asked for a comment from george and kellyanne conway and they have not responded. >>> trump 2020 campaign trying to rally support by touting the decision to add a question sit -- citizen shship to the u. census. many will fear it will identify themselves and under counting. that could mean a loss of funding and representation for the places. >> california sued to block the move in about a dozen states and civil rights groups planning lawsui lawsuits. the first time the question of citizenship has been included in

there is no question here kellyanne conway violated the rules. second and third strike, brooke, because she had earlier gone on television and asked people to -- >> you roll the clip. >> he's a repeat offender. >> roll the clip. >> ivanka, the elite shopping i will get something on myself. it's a wonderful line. ly give a free commercial here. go buy it, everybody, find it online. >> so i knew where you were going. we had that pulled. i first read this i thought is that a reference when she was talking the products from the briefing room. at the time violating this key ethics rule, the white house counselled her after that. but your point being dancing what mighty close to that line? >> well, she's got an ethics violation. now she has two hatching a vials we know. here's what's so disturbing, brook, it's not just that she's committed these violations, we know she got remedial training again, after the first vials. we know she got extensive hatch act training and in the white house and now the white house approach in the obama white house where i

office of special counsel says white house adviser kellyanne conway broke the law. she did that by stomping on roy moore in her official capacity as a white house staffer. we'll get back to that. bureaucratic confusion or covering for the president's blind spot? two very different tales coming from the top of the intelligence community. dan coats, you just heard him there, says the president has given him permission to do whatever needs to be done to fight russian cyber attacks. >> i have discussed it personally with the president of the united states. he says, i assume you're doing your job, all of you who head up these agencies relative to cyber, but if you need me to direct you to do it, do it. >> but just one week ago, listen here, a very different take from the head of the national security agency. admiral mike rogers said he hasn't been told to do anything, and he said absent permission, an order from the president, he can't. >> have you been directed to do so given the strategic threat that faces the united states and the significant consequences you recogniz

he essentially defends kellyanne conway. he says in a statement that was, again, just released moments ago, kellyanne conway did not advocate for or against the election of any particular candidate. she simply expressed the president's obvious position that he has people in the house and senate who support his agenda. in fact, kellyanne's statements actually show her intention and desire to comply with the hatch act as she twice declined to respond to the host's specific invitation to encourage alabamians to vote for the republican. again, that's from hogan gidly who is the deputy press secretary here at the white house. the exchanges under question do relate to that race, that senate race, in alabama, between roy moore and doug jones. and you'll recall that at the time president trump, despite those accusations of sexual misconduct included with minors against roy moore, the president all but endorsed him at the moments of these interactions with kelly aep canne conway. take a look at what the special counsel is saying viol

. >> trevor: i always thought kellyanne conway being on tv was a crime. i just didn't know i was right. ( laughter ) because, i mean, the hatch act. i didn't know that that was a thing. but that's what's great about the trump administration-- we're learning about all of america's laws because they keep on breaking them, yeah. ( laughter ) by the end of trump's term, we're all going to be legal scholars-- the hatch act, the logan act, the emoluments clause. i rest my case! ( laughter ) but, still, just because your top adviser was found break the law, doesn't mean you're in chaos. so the president came out to assure everyone that everything in the white house was no chaos, great energy. >> the the white house has tremendous energy. it has tremendous spirit. it is a great place to be working. many, many people want every single job. you know, i read, "oh, gee, maybe people don't want to work for trump." and, believe me, everybody wants to work in the white house. >> trevor: phew! thank god. ( laughter ) i believe him. yeah. everybody wants to work in the wh

>> listen, george conway is a long-time conservative attorney, and of course he's kellyanne conway'sd. not just a member of the trump administration but one of the prominent defenders of the president. a number of his tweets, beyond the flabbergasted, he's been trying to weigh in on topics he's trying to avoid. here's the tweets from recent weeks. and you have stormy daniels, of course, who the white house has repeatedly rebuffed. here's george conway retweeting a tweet that brings attention to the fact that that $130,000 payment may have been an illegal campaign contribution. this is one that george conway retweeted from chuck todd, saying, every day a tantrum. every day more enabling. this is no way to run a pta let alone the largest organization in the world. >> and this is in reference to a tweet about the fact that the president repeatedly denies reports that reportedly turn out to be true. why is this most interesting? first of all, george conway has since deleting this tweet and he's been deleting a series of recent tweets. i reached him today and asked him why he's deleting t

press secretary says that conway did not advocate for or electag of any candidate.ngs ranking member issued a statement yesterday recommending that trump discipline conway. he wrote in part, quote, this is not the first time that an independent government agency has recommended that the white house discipline kellyanne conway for breaking the law. ms. conway has received multiple trainings and warnings, yet she still refuses to follow basic ethics rules. the president must take swift and serious disciplinary action against ms. conway. anything else sets a terrible example. back with us from washington, sarah westwood. good to see you again. how big of a problem is this report of kellyanne conway violating the hatch act and do you think the white house is going to continue to push back on it? >> serial hatch act violations are the kind of sloppy about mistakes that you expect in somebody who lack a background in government about that is this not kellyanne conway's first brush with an ethics violation. last spring she got in trouble for advocating that consumers go bu

and we agreed, george conway. husband of donald trump's top adviser kellyanne conway.rgasting. george conway's rogue twitter account is thing 2 in 60 seconds. >>> kellyanne conway is one of the president's most trusted advisers and she always is ready to come out and deliver the trump line. take a listen to this one example about presidential pardons. >> is the white house prepping pardons for everyone? >> the answer is no. i discussed this with the president directly. that's another part of the hoax. his point is exactly what he says at the end of that tweet which is that why are we talking about -- there's nothing to pardon, no one to pardon. there's no presidential crime. >> hmm. nothing to pardon, no one to pardon. right on message. unfortunately her own husband appears to have gone way off message calling the news trump's lawyer did discuss pardons flabbergasting and that is just the latest in a series of tweets from george conway where he appears to be trolling the trump white house. mr. conway was a quiet infrequent twitter user till this month when he unleashed

craig: this is not the first time kellyanne conway has been in this position. she does a lot of the for the president of the united states. she is on the morning shows during the weekend the sunday shows during the weekend. the laws are clear -- you are not allowed to promote a commercial position from an official white house stance, and when you are speaking on the white house lawn talking to a tv camera, that would be a violation of the hatch act. these are usually more of a warning, slap on the wrist but kellyannee third time conway has heard this from the ethics commission. she will have to be more careful going forward. david: the president tweeted today that there is no chaos, it is fake news, but he is not done making changes in his quest for perfection. who else has their head on the chopping block? craig: good question, and i read , if gary cohnbe were to leave, you can't fire me, i quit, or i can't quit because you just fire me. i don't know what the president's definition of chaos is. hope hicks recently announced her departure. she is there for a fe

. >> we also have kellyanne conway in violations of what's called the hatch act. what can you tell us about that? >> reporter: that's right, the office of the special counsel announced that kellyanne conway, who is a senior adviser to the president, actually violated the hatch act two times last year when she was talking about the senate race in television interviews. the hatch act prevents you from using your position in the government to influence any kind of elections, and they're saying that kellyanne conway did that. and to give you a sense of what she said about that race, listen to this. >> and doug jones in alabama, folks, don't be fooled. he'll be a vote against tax cuts. he's weak on crime, weak on borders, he's strong on raising your taxes, he's terrible for property owners. >> now, of course, wolf, if you violate the hatch act, if they choose to do so would be chefr one you work for. we've reached out to the white house to see what their reaction was to this and they gave us a statement from hogan gidley saying kellyanne conway did not advocate for or

and kellyanne conway will probably continue to break the law. the u.s. office of special counsel polices among other things the official conduct of federal government employees. it is a permanent office that has nothing to do with the current special prosecutor robert mueller who is investigating the trump white house. the office of special counsel announced today that they, quote, sent an investigative report to president donald trump finding that counselor to the president kellyanne conway violated the hatch act in television interviews. in those tv interviews, kellyanne conway, who was appearing in her official capacity, urged the defeat of democratic candidate for senate in alabama doug jones, and that is a clear violation of the hatch act, which as the special counsel puts it, quote, restricts employees from using their official government position for partisan political purposes, including by trying to influence partisan elections. the white house reaction today to the office of special counsel's 11-page report detailing and proving that kellyanne

we now have heard that kellyanne conway has her own hatch hack violation. we've now got jared kushner accused of doing something bad with the hatch act. nikki haley having violated it. dan scabino, the white house social media director. richard, what is the problem. the hatch act is clear and if you take a job at the white house you learn it. as a journalist we learn things and they are clear from the first day with people around you to let you know if you aren't sure. why does the white house keep coming up against this thing? >> well, i don't know if they have an ethics office over there to help people understand what the rules are. i told everybody coming in about the hatch act. the rules are quite simple. you do not in your official capacity endorse a political candidate. so if kellyanne conway wants to endorse someone for the alabama senate race who could be a accused pedophile or anybody she wants but she can do that on her own lawn and not on the white house lawn. she did so once and twice even though it is clear that is a hatch act violation and vio

it has to do with adviser to the president, kellyanne conway. i'm going to look down. because this is purporting, coming from the office of the special counsel, the u.s. office of the special counsel, the osc, has found two violations by kellyanne conway of the hatch act. that is using your position in government to advocate for or against a senate candidate, a house candidate, someone holding a position or running for office. there's two instances according to the osc. they say one was kellyanne conway advocating against a senate candidate and that would be the democrat doug jones. you remember the special election in alabama. the second instance is her advocating for a candidate and that would be roy moore in the same special election in alabama. two different instances. and what this means, katie, we're going through this, i want to explain, the hatch act according to this record allows federal employees to express their views about candidates and political issues as private citizens. we know that. it restricts employees from using their official government position

kellyanne conway has certainly been with the president an awfully long time. would she be the one to step into this role at least on a temporary basis? >> kellyanne conway is somebody who has been considered for this position before. and it's important to remember that she's been resistant to that. it's not the role that she was hoping for. i think you can read the tea leaves here, as we were saying earlier. remember, the president is his own best communicator, something that hope hicks did expertly is she was able to translate the president's message especially that crucial period of time around tax reform. when it comes to the president making his own voice heard, it's something that he does want to do alone. you've seen articles come out that criticized both of the candidates here who are up for the job. that's not something that the president takes kindly too. remember, hope has never granted an on-camera interview during her five months at communications director. the president wants everyone to step back and give him his opportunity in the spotlight. tha

people liked kellyanne conway. a lot of people liked her. so the people he hired, first round people, a lot of people liked. the second round people, a lot of people still liked. people liked h.r. mcmaster. people liked gary cohn. so he keeps insulating himself with people but they're also with people, even the new change or whatever, are still a continuation of people that republicans do like. >> all right. well, maybe they'll be more new people coming. i have a feeling the answer's yes. coming up, president trump prepares to unveil major initiatives to come bat the opoid crisis. that includes the death penalty for drug dealers. and new reaction following president trump, at a fund-raiser this week that he made up information during a meeting with canadian prime minister justin trudeau. what was the most surprising to seth meyers is trudeau actually believed him. >> trump is so bad at lying he lets the public immediately know he lied. if trump ever had to take a lie detector test, he'd probably just draw the crazy lines himself. i did not c

presidential counselor kellyanne conway in violation of the hatch act. the u.s.l, which we should point out here is not the mueller investigation, has now found that kellyanne conway did, in fact, cross the line in

here to shed some more light on it, special counsel to the president kellyanne conway is with us. number of people at the white house, nothing is imminent. no decisions have been made. nobody is leaving. the president said it, i saw earlier today, i believe it was from the oval office that nobody is scheduled to leave at all in spite of rampant wild speculation. what can you tell us? >> >> the president makes the personnel decisions and announcement unless this white house, sean. he was elected, after all. his name is on the ballot. >> sean: wait a minute it isn't maggie. >> no. it's no other journalist. the rampant speculation itself is a story because it's so incredible to me that the media at large and it's filled with people who are trying to get the story but filled with lots of people trying to get the president also. they won't cover policy. they cover personnel. they won't cover principle. they cover palace intrigue. they cover stories constantly. they figure hey if a stop clock is at least twice today. whole year in advance. so and so is going to go. recycle clips so the

we all are. >> conway was shot in the hip. another barber who was shot in the foot watched as his coworker told police they believe officers could have approached eid differently. there were kids in a back room when bullets started to fly. >> do we think it should be handled different? yeah, we do. i'm saying we do think it could have been handled a lot different. but the fact is that it wasn't. do you know what i'm saying? i forgave jehad. >> the chief said he will take the feedback into consideration while the investigation continues. jean elle, "today in the bay." >>> that is a story you will only see on nbc bay area. a late night fast food run takes a frightening and violent turn. san jose police are looking for a man who chased after a car load of young women and then opened fire on them. one of those passengers was hit and it started all around 2:00 in the morning on wednesday at a jack in the box restaurant on monterey road in san jose. one of the victims who did not want to be identified says she was driving her white

conway, anything else sets a terrible example. responding to the cohn news, to go back to that for a minute. the president seems to be parting on good terms with his former economic advisor, calling him a rare talent and thanking him for his service to the american people. >> let's put this into perspective, exactly how big a deal is cohn's departure here? >> before his resignation announcement today there were about a dozen different names that were likely to be leaving the administration. but nothing as -- even as he announced that he was contemplating that increased tariff on steel and aluminum imports, the markets responded very badly to that dropping and we're already hearing rumors about after hours trading and foreign markets taking a hit as well. >>> a federal judge in san francisco has ruled that the trump administration can withhold a law enforcement grant from california because of its sanctuary policies. the judge said the $1 million grant was too small to justify an injunction to turn over the money, why california's

kellyanne conway of course another one. but, you know, i think hope hicks' role -- the title that she had i think maybe you could see jockeying over. but her role as a confidant, her role as a gate keeper, that's not going away. >> stay with us. we do have more to talk about. >> thank you. >>> and why our next guest says the last place president trump's attorney wants to be when it comes to stormy daniels is in a courtroom.

we have kellyanne conway who apparently violated the hatch act, which in any other administration wouldbe the scandal of the month. if we were in any other administration. so all of this would be funny if it wasn't so damn depressing, scary, and dangerous, not just to the economic welfare of the country but to the global welfare and safety and the national security of the united states. >> michael, i know you're nodding your head here, but i want to have bakari weigh in if i can either on the -- is this a different level of chaos, or to an extent at least policy-wise, is this what the president promised? michael has a point here, at least on tariffs. the president always said he was going to do this. >> i think the president's always been misguided on tariffs. i think one of the things when comparing it to china solar panels that michael was not being forthright about is that it's different from having open-ended tariffs and targeted tariffs. but that's neither here nor there. it's very difficult for the white house to have an economic message that you can hear about that resonates with
