leave it there and we are going to get more honest when the president's former campaign manager cory lewandowskiis it fair to talk to the house intelligence committee today. he will be sitting down with harris during overtime coming up next hour. he will not want to miss that. president trump and slamming the mainstream media yet again one day before he is set to announce the winners of his fake news awards. how has the ongoing feud affected americans? plus, mr. trump at odds with emma craddock senator dick durbin over the president's language and at immigration meeting last week. even has a new nickname for him. whether his argument is worth winning or just a distraction from the issues that really matter. >> i will tell you this, i stand by every word i said about what was said and what happened at that meeting. if yor crohn's symptoms are holding you back, and your current treatment hasn't worked well enough, it may be time for a change. ask your doctor about entyvio, the only biologic developed and approved just for uc and crohn's. entyvio works at the site of inflammation in the gi tract an

cory lewandowski and rick dearborn are meeting with the house intel committee as well. let's debrief. joining me julia ainsley, also ken delanee lalanedelaney, andg. julia, you filed this report that talked about the fbi knocking on bannon's door to issue him a subpoena. lots of controversy from yesterday when he wouldn't answer questions in front of house intel. what struck you in that briefing just now? >> so i think it is the idea of where they are trying to draw the lines on executive privilege. and sarah sanders didn't want to get in to the details like a lot of reporters, including us and nbc would like her to. what we want to know here is how steve bannon could assert executive privilege thinking that the white house may want to assert it. we wanted to know if they had actually called him and told him not to testify. the other thing is that our reporting really kind of ties into this whole story because now that we know that steve bannon had already been given a subpoena almost a week -- exactly a week before he testified, he had probably discussed with his lawye

you talked about the other heavy hitters cory lewandowski who was the president's first campaign manager and someone the president talks to periodically. but the real starve this potentially is hope hicks president's longest serving aide in any political capacity and been through the campaign and tenure at the white house and is really is the physical and sort of emotional gate keeper to this president, described by a lot of people almost as a surrogate daughter. if there is something that hope hicks knows, this will be a big deal in this setting here in the house intelligence committee to see what lawmakers can learn from it. and we know, hallie, that the president is paying tension to this. because he's tweeting telling us not to pay attention to it. president tweeted earlier this morning saying do you ever notice fake news covering the great economic news but rather talks about anything negative that can be tufrnd na the negative, the russian collusion hoax is dead except as it pertains to the demes, public gets it. there is no clearer signal than that this is something on the preside

former chief strategy gist steve bannon and former cory lewandowski refused to answer questions on thee in the white house. according to bannon's questions the white house told him not to answer those questions. now hope hicks appearance was abruptly delayed until it's clear whether all witnesses can claim the same. >> this according to a source. executive privilege, however, does not hold for interviews by the special counsel. still undecided is whether the most important witness of all, the president himself will face questioning by mueller. sources tell cnn that preliminary discussions between trump's attorneys and the special counsel are ongoing. >> assuming that the investigation comes closer to an end point, we'll require that mueller put the president under oath to take his testimony. there is just no way i can consider this investigation as having been complete until the president is interviewed. >> whether he does or not -- >> we've been very open and want to get that over with. >> the investigation he calls a witch hunt will continue long past the end he hoped for. it seems t

what are we learning today about both steve bannon and cory lewandowski's testimony in front of the housemittee? >> we know when steve bannon went he managed to infuriate both republican and democratic members, which is no small feet, because he wouldn't talk about his activities during the transition or during his tenure at the white house. and a number of lawmakers thought that an overly broad interpretation of executive privilege. axios did report what was apparently a slip-up. he talked about this meeting that occurred in 2016 between don junior and jared kushner was also at that meeting at trump tower with a number of rugs. and apparently according to axios bannon did say he spoke about that meeting with reince priebus, sean spicer and one who was at one point a spokesperson for the president's legal team. they did not get answers to the questions that they wanted. and they left with a similar feeling from corey lewandowski today. remember he served as donald trump's campaign manager during the presidential campaign before he was fired. and it was a similar situation. corey would not

number two, cory lewandowski said on air trump one that the four food groups were what?pizza, kfc, mcdonald's and diet coax and he drinks 13 diet coax a day. he routinely will sit down in one sitting and have two big macs, two fillet owe fish and a chocolate shake. at this moment ronald mcdonald trump could expire before his term does if he doesn't get impeached. his doctors are doing the worst thing because they're misleading. kennedy had addison's disease. they covered that up. 1919 woodrow wilson actually had a stroke and no one knew so they shouldn't really lie or be misleading because, you know, that would be disingenuous. we know none of trump's people or trump could be disingenuous. i'm just sayin'. >> fake news, it's 12 diet coax. he tweeted, it was interesting, i had to put up with fake news from the first day i announced that i was running with president. now i have to put up with a fake book. written by a totally discredited author. ronald regan had the same problem and handled it well. i note that to note that ronald regan, as he just said, had alzheimer's as

also expected today, cory lunn dao s -- lewandowski. he was pushed out in favor of paul manafort. you see him on tv a lot, and he is a lobbyist. the committee is likely to probe early campaign decisions and russian outreach, including campaign adviser george papadopoulos, who pleaded guilty in the probe, and what lewandowski knows about the june trump tower meeting. he told fox network he was not directed by the white house to withhold anything. later this week, the white house communications director, hope hicks, is expected to appear. another excampaign original and original trump staffer. she's the second serving administration official to be called to testify. the other is jared kushner. questions are going to be similar to those being asked of lewandowski. specifics will likely be about the response to that trump tower meeting on june 9th, 2016. and specifically the president's involvement in drafting the statement that don junior first made about that meeting, which turned out to not be entirely true. didn't turn out to be mostly true. >> that was drafted on the plane. i bel

communications director hope hicks is expected to be questioned as early as this week as well as cory li lewandows lewandowski. and after spending the week end at his private mar-a-lago estate, president trump back in frigid washington but still facing heat after accusations he made disparaging comments about haiti and african nations while praising prospective immigrants from norway. the president taking a swipe at senator dick durbin. dickey durbin, he tweeted, totally misrepresented what was being said at the daca meeting. adding deals can't be made when there is no trust. >> durbin is standing by every word he said. >> what the president said at that meeting was so awful and so impactful on so many people that when he denied saying it, i felt duty bound to clarify what actually happened. >> reporter: overnight the senate's top democrat defending his colleague. >> donald trump has lied so many times it's hard to believe him on anything, let alone this, but, second, i've known dick durbin for 35 years. he's one of the most honorable people i've met. i have never known him to lie. i totally believe dick durb

hillary clinton, but it was because in the context of the campaign, they wanted to get rid of cory ey lewandowskig to show his father he had the stuff. >> yes. >> one moment where bannon is screaming at several people that your book really highlights, is going to be a moment that may be sga significant in the mueller chase is the president putting together a falls statement about don junior's meeting with the russians. steve bannon and i think correctly understood what nobody else around the president did at that moment which is they all put themselves in legal jeopardy. >> absolutely. he went around yelling at people who had been in this room. steven miller he reamed him because he had been in -- he just went into these rooms. mike pence he said he couldn't believe it. just in meetings where he should not be. steve bannon sort of set this up. i will not go into meetings where this is being discussed. >> last question, is donald trump fit to be president. >> no. >> from everything you've seen. >> no. >> why not. >> it's essentially what the story of the book is, but in brief because he's only int

also had had trouble getting information from cory liewandowski as he declined to answer certain questions in a closed door interview. adam shif says lewandowskied to talk about anything after the campaign and wouldn't say if he had had spoken to the president about testimony in the last 24 hours. >>> and questions being raised about the case of 13 children they say were horrifically abused by their parents. one neighbor says he observed the children marching between two rooms of their home for hours in the middle of children hasn't seen her sister in 20 years but she realized even bk thenhing in the family wasn't right. >> i remember they were really strict on the oldest daughter. she was bound to her room a lot and they would let her come down and eat meals. was almost le a or something it bother meause repren by defendertoday. remove boxes and as evidence. >>> thousands of wells fargo custom social media over double charges to their bank accoun accots for schedule bill paymens yestero then bank's customer service line. welln issue. >>>ndoh, patriots fans are . we've been here before. suffered ano h hdn ptally ran i. another source says brad
