cory lewandowski took the position to make sure he wasn't part of it any more. >> sam feels that cory lewandowski helped expose the old facebook posts as a way it get him out. the two did not get along. very clearly there was a power struggle between them. but sam has been a long time adviser of trump. so he's been in and out of donald trump's favor over the years. even recently. but you heard him there a moment ago saying he's no fan of trump. remember, trump sued him during the campaign and sam thumbed his nose. >> i had almost forgotten about it. >> and sam thumbed his nose at donald trump and said you can't see me, i'm beautiful or something like that. so obviously he has a very big personality. this is -- it is news worthy and it is just absurdity. it is news worthy that he wouldn't sit for the grand jury because of the significance of the investigation, how seriously the investigators are taking it. it is significant that he wa walk -- walked away from the room and after a meeting with the special counsel investigators and said they have something on donald trump. i'm spoken to

cory lewandowski was fired. he still talks to him with some regularity. roger stone was fired. stone has been back in good graces at times. steve bannon for awhile before the michael wolf book was still in touch with the president after he was fired. so that the notion that just because he was fired he doesn't know anything, that's not necessarily true. >> you know sam, i went through this detailed two page grand jury subpoena dated february 27th, 2018, and if you take a look at the specifics, what mueller wants for the period november 1st, 2015 to the president, please provide all documents related to the following individuals, then names ten individuals. carter page, cory lewandowski, donald trump, hope hicks, heath schiller, paul manafort, rick gates, roger stone, steve bannon. that's almost everyone involved. what does that say to you that he wants, mueller wants all of this specific information from sam nunberg about what he knew about these individuals? >> well, i think it shows that his investigation is proceeding at pace. wolf, when you read that list, the thing strikes

concerns, congressman adam schiff talking about that news today with former trump campaign manager cory lewandowski. >> questions about the production of the false statement concerning the trump tower meeting, questions about the firing of james comey as well as any discussions that mr. lewandowski had with the president about the potential of firing bob mueller. these and other questions went unanswered. >> that was his readout at least of things that they did not find out from that systetestimony, y view, senator? >> this is why the mueller investigation has to continue, has to go forward, baecause as say, there are revelations on an hourly basis, they concern collusion, and obstruction of justice, all things that the mueller investigation has to get to the bottom of. as i said in front of the armed services committee, it is clear from the testimony in front of that committee over the last few days, that the efforts of the russians to make us really question our institutions continues and we do not have a whole of government strategy that will enable us to counter these efforts, which are continu

and then they wanted maie-mails had with hope hicks, with cory lewandowski. are you giving me a break? you know what they asked, which is ridiculous to me. they asked things like did you hear people speaking russian in the trump office? >> who. >> katy, i did not hear people speaking russian in the trump office, okay. that is ridiculous. >> are you worried about getting arrested? >> i think it would be funny if they arrested me. >> he sent the subpoena and in it mueller asked for all documents related to steve bannon, hope hicks, cory lewandowski, paul manafort, keith schiller, roger stone and the president himself. and while he said it was laughable that robert mueller wanted communications between him and carter page because there were none, at no point did he express any concern about producing the documents, text messages or mails or phone logs, notes, et cetera, going all the way back to november 2015. >> sam, is anybody from the trump white house contacted you? >> no. >> has the president contacted you? >> no. >> has anybody from trump's legal team cont

cory lewandowski joins me, former truck campaign manager and chief strategist for america first actions. great to see you today. tell me what you think about the situation as we move forward in the mueller investigation? >> what i think he has here is the trump legal team which has since been expanded over the last 24 hours taking a position where they want to understand directly from the mueller team what they want to talk about. they've been very clear that they have been willing to cooperate on anything that they mueller team has asked for and this is the next step forward. i think what you see is the president who has been very clear, no collusion, no coordination, but he wants to get us behind him so anything he can do to put this behind him to prove that there was no collusion, looks like the white house is cooperating in every way possible. to be when you when i have gone back and forth over recent weeks and months over whether the president should sit down with robert mueller. where you know on that? >> of the president asked my opinion on it, i tell him it would be my recommend

it it doesn't surprise me one cory lewandowski says it's totally logical. you got that mandate almost a year ago, we expect them to find out what everyone was doing from 2016 until present. we are going to find out if there's a special emphasis on anything in particular and how that lends into a popular presidential race. >> harris: everybody likes to read the tea leaves on this, we really don't know what's inside the mueller investigation but we do know now perhaps what he's looking at in terms of connecting the dots. >> kennedy: it's interesting and it's funny because there seems to be more not only with the special counsel but with the white house. i think we all have to caution ourselves not to read too much into it. two things could be happening here. mueller could have a very specific track he's going down and he may know exactly what is going after with his team of investigators, or he has no idea and he's casting such a broad net and there's so much power and money in the special counsel. >> harris: this is huge news. among the things that our presi

we can work on some of the issues that concern both countries. >> sandra: joining me now is cory lewandowskief strategist for america first action and author of the best-seller, let trump be trump. cory, people asking why did he make the call in the first place and more why congratulate vladamir putin on what many see as a sham election? >> it with a bit that long ago when president obama c congratulated vladamir putin and we didn't get the media outcry. he said he will work with leaders around the world where there are interests of the united states and there are interests when it comes to ridding isis in syria and continuing the economic sanctions on north korea and bringing kim jong-un to a position to denuclearize. and a message from our president from someone we need to work with is acceptable. >> sandra: and mitch mcconnell he said calling vladamir putin would not be high on my list. john mccain saying an american president does not lead the free world by congratulating dictators by congratulating them on sham elections. he's facing criticism. >> i remember when president won and leade

remember from the campaign the slogan "let trump be trump," that cory lewandowski pushed? it is no didn't that this is happening because there are now people around trump, more of them, that are enabling these impulses he has only to listen to imhad ef is and go with his gut, rather than people who will tell him, hold on, let's think and slow down a bit. >> michael, can you preview what we should focus on looking forward? is the earthquake done or is there more shaking ahead? >> it appears that the president is looking at other lawyers. question is what type of lawyers will they be. will they be more like joe digenova, the one they hired on monday, someone that goes on cable news a lot, has pushed theories that the fbi made up its evidence against donald trump? or will it be more of an emmitt flood, sort of a well-schooled veteran respected washington lawyer who works at one of the top firms and could really bring some stability and some traditional lawyerly approach to what the president is doing. i think a lot of the president's future legal approach will depend on the t

the former campaign manager cory lewandowski was seen leaving a hearing in front of the house intel committee and special counsel robert mueller investigation is heating up. he's now gathering evidence that a secret meeting in the seychelles before the inauguration was meant to establish a back channel between the incoming administration and the kremlin. okay. to walk us through all of this, joining me now is white house nbc news correspondent kelly o'donnell. kelly, let's start with the announcement we're supposed to be hearing, we think something is happening at the white house. and we just played the comments from the president earlier which seemed all over the map. what do you think is happening. >> reporter: there is so much buildup on this. it is going on for a week and the president and his sort of showman-like style tweeted about it and talked about today and we know that at 3:30 there is a scheduled event for the president to sign some proclamations to kick the tariff into motion. he is referring to a certain section of the law with respect to trade that allows him to impose tariffs

among them, former campaign managers cory lewandowski and paul manafort, former white house strategist steve bannon and the president's personal lawyer michael cohen the only person on the list who has not left the white house and also on the list president trump, indicating mueller is not just focused on what campaign aides knew and when but what the president knew. it comes days after an nbc news exclusive report that mueller is asking pointed questions about whether president trump knew about hacked e-mails from hillary clinton's campaign before the public found out. >>> president trump is holding firm on his proposal for steep tariffs on imported steel and aluminum tweeting we are on the losing side of almost all trade deals. it's time for change. administration officials now saying there will be no country exempt in the proposed plan. that despite international and domestic outcry including divisions within the president's own party. nbc white house correspondent kelly o'donnell has the latest. >> reporter: from a trump-style campaign message -- >> we are going to put a american s

nunberg caps a week of campaign -- capitol hill at nearly the same time, manafort's predecessor, cory lewandowskiks with fell lore investigator. >> i just spent 12 hours of my life i'll never get back, there was no collusion, no obstruction. that's a fact. >> reporter: former fbi director james comey's firing and trump's alleged consideration of firing robert mueller. >> the witnesses don't get to pick and choose when it comes to very violent testimony to our investigations. >> that comment from a top democrat on the house intelligence committee, representative adam schiff also wants additional witnesses to affirm the testimony. on whether or not there was an effort to set up a back channel between trump and the kremlin. that is an allegation several witnesses have denied in the house investigation. >>> florida governor rick scott today signed a landmark school safety and gun control bill. scott signed the bill flanked by victims and parents of the parkland school massacre. that comes two days after the house approved a bill in response to the shootings that killed 17 people on valentine's day. >

cory lewandowski says the leaks must stop. >> you can have a disagreement with the president, he wantsonversations on all sides but when the decision is made you have to be on the team because the president is the final arbiter. you can disagree privately but publicly it's very problematic. >> marie: were coming into a pretty important few months with foreign policy and the national security advisor will play a key role, that's why i think the president wanted this new team in place. staffing changes at the national security council, are they a good idea when they need all the help they can get? it seems like with all these big meetings coming up? >> david: the president needs to have his team around him. i think john bolton is going to be a breath of fresh air at the national security council in that position. he's going to come in and evaluate everybody and i want him to make changes. if you find people were leaking, whether its last weeks conversation about the president talking to vladimir putin, whether it was last year, those conversations during the transition as he took office,

trish regan, joining us in the center seat, donald trump's former campaign manager, cory lewandowski is "outnumbered." hello. >> corey: how are you today? >> harris: fantastic, and how about yourself? >> corey: #oneluckyguy today. >> harris: the special election i mentioned, in a deep red district in western pennsylvania, being viewed by some as a test of president trump's influence on voters ahead of the midterm election. the president won that district by nearly 20 points over hillary clinton and he was back there saturday night touting republican candidate rick saccone will going after his democrat competitor conor lamb, watch. >> i really feel strongly about rick saccone. i know him. i feel strongly about him, he is an incredible guy. conor lamb, he's trying to act like a republican. he won't give me one vote. there is no way. it rick is going to vote for us all the time. all the time. >> harris: lamb has on the backing of powerful local union unions. watch. >> i do not believe as paul ryan does that these are entitlements or another form of welfare. if i have the honor of servin

second time former trump campaign manager cory lewandowski is taking questions.do you -- lewandowski was not subpoenaed. he refuse to answer questions regarding his communications with donald trump after departing his campaign. it's unclear whether or not he will comply with those questions this time around. what do you expect? >> again, i want to remind everyone that vladimir putin, the head of russia, spends entire life as a colonel in the the kgb. no one is smiling bigger to see the house intel committee tear themselves apart now than putin. as soon as someone testifies it's leaked. congress do your job in a professional way. let's get through it and let's get back to the very serious business of oversight of our intelligence community, funding our intelligence community that's keeping america safe. fine, go testify. >> we'll see what happens. we don't know if he will answer questions. >> without question. i think that what lot of peep wondering who's left after this. this sort of seems like it would mark some sort of turning point. once we gotten to this witn

according to christopher wiley who left the company in late 2014, cory lewandowski visited cambridge an lalytics in 2015. lewandowski denies that claim. but later that year, facebook discovered coburns app captured data from up to 50 million profiles. cambridge said it destroyed the data at facebook's request. but the data still existed on the servers in june of 2016. they we asa a assange -- trump's campaign schedule was determined in part by cambridge analytica's data. in november, trump won the presidency over hillary clinton. over the past weekend, facebook suspended cambridge analytica's profile for the date that that was taken nearly a year ago. this is new video from cambridge analytica executives. channel 4 obtained it by having reporters pose as prospective clients in the undercover video. executives brag about just how influential they were to the trump campaign and how congress doesn't understand their technology. but turning now to texas where residents are hunkering down in their homes as officials there search for a serial bomber. overnight another bomb exploded at a fe

>> cory lewandowski. >> former campaign chief. >> that was a joke. the minute he was hired there were two separate roles for people like roger and me. i can tell you as we have discussed before, i came up with the wall. i came up with a lot of that messaging. >> what do you moon two separate sets of rules? >> two separate rules. trump decided he was going to treat roger and me in a very bad way and going to treat corey, his special corey in a different way because he valued him more. that koultd have been something i learned after working for him. >> why is roger not giving the same message as you are tonight in. >> i don't know. >> when is the last time you spoke to the president? when the the last time you spoken to him? >> i have not spoken to him since a week before he swore into the presidency. once again i know he may not value this or whatever but i'm a supporter despite what he thinks. >> even though you're raving about his 30 something approval rating. >> i think he should with doing better. i think he's done very good things on foreign poli

>> my understanding is that cory lewandowski and bossie attack to the president daily. it is important to point out that john kelly had been successful in bhani ibanning lewandowski from the west wing. there was a shotting match and john kelly decided that after that moment, that cory would no locker have access to the west win. and that was a point on of contention for trump because he wants these people who are loyal to him to have access to him. so that is a chief flash point with his chief of staff. >> so john kelly, hr mcmaster, how much of a turning point was that incident involving rob porter for the way in which john kelly was or wasn't the president's good graces? >> i think in the case of the porter scandal, this was -- kelly was on the way out. i think we should point out, this is not new. the president has been frustrated with john kelly for months. what the porter scandal did is effectively neutralize the ability to push him out then because kelly manufactured a brilliant maneuver in which he defined the scandal not about domestic abuse, but as security cle

wrapping up its investigation into the russian election meddling, former trump campaign manager cory lewandowskifor the second time. republicans have left no stone unturned. >> i think he has gone as far as he can, but i would say to me, i don't see anybody else out there who has not been explored. >> any investigation had a conclusion, we are coming towards the end of it. >> jon: utah congressman chris stewart on the house intelligence committee, he joins me now. do you agree with your colleagues that this thing is near an end? >> we are getting to this point, i know that there are some that would like a to go on probably forever, and if not forever, at least through the midterm elections, they would like that to be the story. at some point you have made a reasonable camp to interview the witnesses and ask the questions, and we also want to balance that with we want to report to the recommendations and report the things they have discovered, and hopefully before the midterm election so that we can take some of the recommended actions. i think that we are getting close on that. >> jon: you will

other former trump aides and staffers have had where he will call and chat with the likes of cory lewandowski and other former aides and staffers who have come through this yore gorbit. i don't know that they have that same relationship so her absence will be felt acutely by the president and other staff who sort of appreciated her being around, a calming presence sort of connecting all the various factions at the white house for a long time. >> peter, you've watched this very closely. hope hicks is also a central figure in the mueller probe, key in particular to the rewriting of that guidance from air force one about the crucial meeting with the russians at trump tower. so she's part of the investigation now. she's also, of course, was involved romantically with rob porter who he is still speaking to. and her absence fills a -- rather, leaves a big hole to be filled. kellyanne conway, one of the people very much in contention, could be named this week to replace her as director of communications if she decides to take that job. >> well, that's right. there are obviously a couple other candid

here's what cory lewandowski told chuck todd on "meet the press." >> it is more like how he managed themp administration. do you concur with that view? >> look, i think that's a scenario that could very well play out. candidly, i'm not advocating for john kelly to leave, i think he should say. but if he were to go, there's not one person to step in to take that role. so i could see an area where the president is giving instructions to a small core of group who are on his behalf. >> joining me is the former cia director john mclaughlin and the former senior adviser to the senate foreign relation committee. gentlemen, great to have you with us. we have seen this pattern emerge with rex tillerson and h.r. mcmaster, the white house, the surrogates say everyone fine, no changes. and then we see sudden changes. let's pick up on the possibility that john kelly is removed as the chief of staff. we know john f. kennedy and lyndon johnson didn't have chiefs of staff. jimmy carter didn't for much of his term. does the president need a chief of staff? >> you know, maybe back in those days it was po

"saturday night live" did a skit. where are we going down with this? >> by thanksgiving, by new year's, now we see the white house legal team being beefed up. >> john: it's not going to happen is what i'm told. moments ago my text message told me. >> it doesn't look like this investigation is winding down. it also doesn't look like mueller is any closer to proving collusion between russia. this manafort has to do with fraud and business ties. no evidence of any collusion, but the drip, drip, drip continues to be a strain on the administration. >> we don't know what he's doing right now exactly, which is no little pieces. public sentiment and what he has leaked out to the press. the point is right. it continues to shadow this white house and continues to frustrate the president. >> john: the fact that mueller it seems to be nibbling on the edges here, the financial dealings as opposed to the actual core of the issue,

. >> cambridge analytica was meeting with cory lewandowski in 2015 before trump had even announced -- cambridge analytica was founded on its appropriated data of at least 50 million facebook users. this data was used to create profiling algorithms that would allow us to to explore mental vulnerabilities of people and then map out ways to inject information into different streams or channels of content online. what cambridge analytica does is works on creating a -- a web of disinformation online so that people start going down the rabbit hole of clicking on blogs and websites that make them think that certain things are happening that may not be. >> so steve bannon was there at the beginning. he was -- he is very interested in what chris whily is explaining and so he was really excited about these ideas and brought cambridge analytica to the mercers who then put them on cruz and later trump once he got the nomination. >> the web is very interesting on this one. thank you very much. anna schechter from nbc news. >>> what is facebook's next move. >>> i'm joined by roger mcnamee and a inv

he doesn't have a karl rove or a david axelrod so he likes to call priebus and cory lewandowski. that is okay. but you have to have a chief of staff who is willing as james baker was and leon panetta war for bill clinton, walk into the oval office and close the door and tell the president what he doesn't want to hear and alas there is no evidence that donald trump wants to listen to anything -- >> for all of us in our lives we have our mentor and rabbis and people we reach out to say you know me well, tell me honestly what you think and at every point in your life you must have that. i'm beginning to wonder, maybe donald trump doesn't have one. maybe there isn't a logical person who he can trust to say tell me what i don't know. >> well, and again, there are very few people with any competence at senior levels who want to come into this white house which is under investigation and where truth was the first casualty on the first day. so how do you find another jim baker or a leon panetta. it may be mission impossible. back in december of 2016, ten former chiefs went to the white h

were in the campaign early on and you said cory lewandowski helped get you fired but you were there whenonald trump decided whether he was going to run for president and why he was going to run for president and what sort of positions he would hold when he decided to run for president. wouldn't the special counsel be interested in finding out what you know about that time early on? >> yeah. they asked about it. they certainly did. >> what did they ask? >> and it was ridiculous. >> what did they ask? >> if i could tell you, once again, katy, donald trump being involved in conservative politics was not good for his business. by the way, i think my lawyer is going to dump me right now. >> why -- what do they ask you about donald trump taking policy positions early on? >> they asked me if donald trump took positions and he flat out told me he was taking positions because of his business. and i will tell you he never told me that. he did not. >> what else have they been asking you? >> they asked -- you know what they asked, which is ridiculous to me, they asked things like did you hear people

former white house adviser, steve bannon and cory lewandowski and paul manafort. the panel is back.eremy, this seems like a -- a confession that she made. she admitted to the committee she told whie -- white lies on behalf of the president that she could never put back in the tube. >> it is not a good look by saying you potentially violated 18,000 usc 1001 that you lied to federal officials. maybe that is lesser of a sin but she's been talking to the robert mueller investigators and question is what is she covering up and that she knows about president trump's conduct with regard to obstruction of justice and the firing of james comey and that she felt the need to dissemble. >> and mark corallo, from the bush era, who i'm sure folks here now, is reported by the new york times told a story about her basically doing what sounds like things that could be construed as obstructioning justice. >> i have no particular sympathy for hope hicks in this situation at all. but i will say two things. the corallo things is ambiguous. >> it is just a press account. we don't know what happened. >> h

meanwhile, former campaign manager cory lewandowski insists if trump does fire kelly, he might not replace him. >> john f. kennedy didn't have a chief of staff his entire presidency. the difference with this president is he is the decision maker and he loves to have all the information brought to him. >> reporter: the president is shaking up his legal teem, too, despite tweeting many lawyers and top firms want to represent me in the russia case don't believe the fake news narrative. the lead in the russia probe resigned. days later, it turns out the two lawyers expected to replace him won't be there citing conflict with other clients. the legal shake up comes at a potentially significant moment as trump considers whether to testify before the special counsel. david wright, abc news, washington. >>> turning to stormy daniels. the adult film star is offering new details about an alleged one-night stand she had with president trump. >> she says when she met trump 12 years ago, she made him drop his pants and jokingly spanked him before having unprotected sex. in 2011, when she gave an intervi

. >> reporter: donald trump's former campaign manager, cory lewandowski grilled by congressional investigatorsnswered every relevant question you could imagine. i spent 12 hours. there's no collusion, no cooperation, fact. >> reporter: the testimony comes amid new questions about whether the president has been asking witnesses interviewed by robert mueller what was asked. there's new scrutiny between the president and the former chief of staff, reince priebus after priebus was interviewed by mueller's team. sources say president trump asked if the special counsel's team was nice and whether they were -- whether they would try to set up a back channel with putin before the inauguration. at issue is the meeting. at the meeting, this man, eric prince, the former blackwater ceo and brother of betsy devos. he said their meeting was unplanned. a chance encounter while he was on a business trip. met him down in the bar, prince said of his encounter. we talked for 30 minutes over a beer and that was it. he says the president-elect didn't know. >> was anybody on the trump team aware you were at this me

we saw a ton of turnover during the election, whether it was cory lewandowski or paul manafort.d kellyanne conway. he was still able to when i can election that nobody saw he was going to win. the turnover throughout the administration has still been able to get a lot of big ticket items done, tax reform, while repealing the individual mandates, judicial nominations going through. what we saw last night with north korea now wanting to come to the bargain table and it was not long ago that people were saying president trump fire in theory, it was crazy. i wasn't one of them. i thought it was a great form of deterrence. i think there was an over emphasis on the people surrounding him and the importance that they play. >> sandra: we will see what happens next week, adrienne. this has been a wild ride. not a lot accomplished by congress. immigration and daca still out there. thank you both for being here. >> bill: thank you ladies. it's been one of the top stories watching all day now. justice department taken california to court over it sanctuary state policies. in a moment, doj sp

on capitol hill, former campaign manager, cory ley lewandowski refused to answer questions about the trump tower meeting with russians. there's a lot to discuss. we want to begin with the breaking news on north korea. and i want to bring in michelle kaczynski, caitlin kallca collin kirby and matt lewis. we have a lot of ground to cover. admiral kirby, i want to start with you. cnn was told that president trump was being told not to go along but yet, here he is. he's going to meet with north korea's dictator by may. the president is doing what he wants. >> i think it depends. i was flab ghasted that the invite was accepted. and the timeline is only eight weeks away. that's incredible to me, the amount of work that has to be done between now and then, to i have any effective summit with kim jong-un, a man who is a brutal dictator and wanted the status that comes with a presidential dialogue like this. i'm a little concerned. very concerned about the timeline and about the chances for success. but i'm always a fan of diplomacy. in general, we have to look at this as a positive developme

cory lu corey lewandowski put more wall on the bricks yesterday and had helping hands from committee members. most people expect us to unite and tell the american people how we were vulnerable, who worked with the russians during the campaign, whether our response from the government was adequate, and that goes to the obama administration. that shouldn't be partisan at all for republicans. also, what we with k do can do our country at the ballot box. >> why is there a wall between the concept of, we were interfered with and we need to do something about this, and there may have been a relationship with the trump campaign in doing this? it seems that many republicans don't want to get to subject two and, as a result, are not dealing with subject one. >> it defies what we have seen in the country's history, which has been unity around attacks and bipartisan efforts to protect the country. i'm afraid my republican colleagues on the committee and in congress believe that their job is to protect donald trump, which is crazy because donald trump would never protect them. he is not dwight e

moment to throw some shade on former trump campaign manager corey lewandowsky, who allegedly had an affair with hope hicks. >> i despise cory. why would i communicate with him? hope hicks? who was having an affair with corey? and i was communicating? i should give them every email from november 1 of 2015? >> stephen: yes. ( laughter ) ( applause ) you have to give him your emails -- or just give mueller your password and ask if you can go to one of the nicer jails that has tennis. ( laughter ) sam nunberg is certain that trump won the election without the russians. and he's not biased. he told the "washington post," "donald trump won this election on his own. he campaigned his ass off. and there is nobody who hates him more than me." ( laughter ) >> stephen: i don't know about that. have you met melania? ( laughter ) ( cheers and applause ) this guy is like a snickers bar! the peanuts just keep coming! ( laughter ) nunberg kept insisting it wasn't fair, and jake tapper had some good advice for him. >> i talked to steve bannon and roger stone eight times a day. you know what i mean? why do i have to go over it? >> sometimes

david bossie, alan durt dershowz and cory line dow ki. >lewandowski the day after chemo might mean a trip back to the doctor's office, just for a shot. but why go back there, when you can stay home, with neulasta onpro? strong chemo can put you at risk of serious infection, which could lead to hospitalizations. in a key study, neulasta reduced the risk of infection from 17% to 1%, a 94% decrease. applied the day of chemo, neulasta onpro is designed to deliver neulasta the next day, so you can stay home. neulasta is for certain cancer patients receiving strong chemotherapy. do not take neulasta if you're allergic to neulasta or neupogen (filgrastim). ruptured spleen, sometimes fatal as well as serious lung problems, allergic reactions, kidney injuries, and capillary leak syndrome have occurred. report abdominal or shoulder tip pain, trouble breathing or allergic reactions to your doctor right away. in patients with sickle cell disorders, serious, sometimes fatal crises can occur. the most common side effect is bone and muscle ache. so why go back there

corey lewandowski, the minute he got hired wanted me and roger out. >> but you think had mueller's investigation -- >> i think cory was in there, and i think corey told them a lot of stuff about us. corey tried to set something up. >> did they say to you or to your lawyer? >> to my lawyer. i've never communicated directly with them >> when you say roger, has roger encouraged you in any way not to cooperate? >> he has not. he made me very upset. has this been done before? >> i'm going to speak to you as an interviewer and a human being. i think there's two reactions right now. i think some people are worried about you, they're worried about what you're doing. i think others are upset because we just showed the white house. >> sarah should shut up, frankly. >> you're in the eye of the storm. >> sarah should shut up. she's a terrible communications -- by the way, her presidential, the person she defends every day, he has a 35% approval rating. she should shut her mouth. >> let me ask you an important question. >> and i'm warning her to shut her mouth. >> do you understand that you have a legal obligation to comply? >
