>> look, i think there are journalists and kind of straight-up news reporters like david fahrenthold.self, who go on tv and give our views. and then there are hybrids, who wear two hats. and i think this is an example, potentially, of the discomfort inherit in wearing those two hats. >> ruth marcus, ana, thank you all. >>> up next, the latest tricks and treats from the white house halloween celebration. stay tuned. gary, gary, gary... i am proud of you, my man. making simple, smart cash back choices... with quicksilver from capital one. you're earning unlimited 1.5% cash back on every purchase, everywhere. like on that new laptop. quicksilver keeps things simple, gary. and smart, like you! and i like that. i guess i am pretty smart. don't let that go to your head, gary. what's in your wallet? people knocking on your door tonight are probably not the real donald trump or hillary clinton, sorry to tell you that. tonight, of course, is halloween. and one place we're guessing presidential candidates were probably not the costumes of choice, the white house. there was, though, a kid who lo

david fahrenthold's breaking news today is now in complete control of this campaign. david, thank you for joining us tonight. i appreciate it. >> no problem. >> david, everyone wants to know -- what can you tell us? i know confidential sourcing is involved. tell us everything you can. how long you had it? did you alert the trump campaign you had it and ask for response from them before releasing it? >> i can't tell you really anything how i got it. we got it today. we told the trump campaign we had it at 1:30 in the afternoon and provided them at that time with a transcript. not the whole video, but the parts of the video that are most relevant here. they asked for a video. we eventually showed them the video. then afterwards, 4:00, they issued the apology. the half apology which trump said was locker room banter. >> and david, this is more cooperation in many ways than you are used to getting from the trump campaign. you have been relentless in tracking down trump contributions and not finding any donald trump personal charity contributions. the trump campaign has bee

coming up i 20 minutes, we'll have david fahrenthold who has been the center of a lot of this reporting. kelly o'donnell joins me in washington. thanks for being here. one of the things when we talk about the breaking news with the trump foundation, i have to ask if we expect to hear from top republicans about this. they have been silent about what we have been discussing which is donald trump's very bad week. >> we have heard from the official surrogates and few others. there is very little upside for republicans wo their own races to run or supporting an office holder in their home state. very little upside to credit size trump. you could offend his voters and little upside to defend him on issues like this. talking about taxes most said release your tax returns. it is the standard. most office holders do that. we spoke with mitch mcconnell before he left washington. he doesn't want to talk about donald trump. a lot of avoidance for other republicans except the surrogates and the party chairmen trying to get trump elected. >> thanks so much. i appreciate you being here. i want to get

was triggered by an exclusive from one newspaper reporter and joining us from washington is david fahrentholdporter for the "washington post." david, you can't reveal the unnamed source who led you to this footage of donald trump and billy bush a decade ago of course, but is it fair to say the person wanted to damage trump's candidacy. >> i can't really say anything about the source and i don't think i really even know. so, no, i can't really address that question. >> you're saying you don't know the source's motivation? sometimes newspapers try to at least describe the motivation of somebody who brings in information but doesn't want to be named. >> in this case we haven't. we haven't said anything at all about the source. i can't say more than nothing. >> okay. can you even say whether somebody want this had out quickly because, after all, "access hollywood" had this in the archives, could have dug this up anytime in the past year and when you called "access hollywood" for comment you had to figure you might be in a race to break this story. >> that's right. we knew that was the risk. we ca

cnn political director david chalian, senior political reporter nia-malika henderson and david fahrenthold, who broke the story of the trump tape. that sort of changed things when that came out. thanks for being with us. david, let me start with you. pence not leaving the ticket. also a piano did not fall on donald trump's head during the debate yesterday in st. louis. does that constitute the victory the trump campaign says it does? >> no. john, it really doesn't. listen, if you are 29 days away from an election and talking about your running mate has announced he's staying with you and that you are stopping defections from you, that's not a place you want to be 29 days out from a campaign. you got to step back and remember, donald trump was already in a downward trajectory. he was behind in this race before the story broke on friday that david broke, and then obviously that sent him into a tailspin. last night, he chose a very clear strategy. scorch the earth, get all of his supporters riled up again, put that floor underneath him so he doesn't go down any further, but he didn't do anyth

on the question of this allegedly coming from the clinton campaign, this actually came from david fahrentholdwho is an incredible reporter at "the washington post." i doubt the clinton campaign had access to audio tapes from "access hollywood," but, obviously, this dogged reporter actually found it. and my last point that i would make to the congresswoman, who's really quickly dismissed these comments and vaulted over to a series of talking points about hillary clinton, you, congresswoman, back on august 30th, of this year, said on a show called "the brody file," that god had raised up donald trump. that donald trump has been raised up by god to be the republican nominee. and you went on to say that god lifts up who he will and takes down who he will. so it seems to me that just based on your own past statements, this was either done to donald trump by himself, by david fahrenthold, by somebody at "access hollywood," or by god. and i'd wonder if you now believe that god has taken down who he will? [ laughs ] >> you don't have to respond to that. not about the god part. your religion is your o

. >> david fahrenthold, i appreciate you joining us. >> thank you. >> we'll be right back. xwxexe >>>n new

david fahrenthold joins us now. what stunned you? >> first, the language. this is a guy.re familiar with his voice. the way he's acted on television but never heard him use this kind of language and the fact he's not just describing the attractiveness of a woman and leering at a woman, he's describing his own behavior. he's saying, i did this and i'll do this again. this is what i do when i meet beautiful women. that's what surprised me the most. >> when you contacted the trump campaign for comment and reveal to them what you now had, were they blind sighted by it or knew this or something like this was coming? >> what i originally did was send them a transcript, not the whole video. we transcribed the relevant and they said, it doesn't sound like it. and basically conceding it was him and with trump saying it was locker room talk. >> do you think this now puts pressure on nbc for the release of whatever outtakes might exist relative to "the apprentice"? >> it's not nbc's to give. i learned a lot about hollywood and all the footage belongs with the production company, mar

an david fahrenthold who was going to. >> i think this period of time was absolutely crucial for therump campaign. there's no question in my mind that more and more republicans are seriously evaluating whether they want to stick with donald trump it's not just about the vile comments. it's just about pure politics at this point. people have to make a decision about whether politically it makes sense to align with this guy, given what we've seen that more might be on the way. include the political calculus comes forward as well. >> let's talk about the people that manu just talked about paul ryan and reince priebus. he said what he was saying was the definition of racism, but still, he endorsed drmonald tru now, he's talking about being sick about the comments, disinviting him, still endorsing donald trump. how long can paul ryan still hold on to that large majority in the house and continue to endorse donald trump? >> paul ryan's in a very difficult position. on the one hand, he clearly has to lead his conference in the house. he has to think of the electoral ramifications potentiall

in the video discovered today by david fahrenthold at the washington post that was recorded by access hollywood but not used in their show in 2005, donald trump essentially confesses to sex crimes. he says all of this with authority. he says that you can do this. you can do anything you want to any woman if you are a star like him. now the only way he could say that with authority is if he, is if he has that experience. if he's done it. he's grabbed women that way. in the video you are b're about watch, donald trump says i have to use some tic tacs, just in case i start kissing. this is a man who knows his own behavior. so he's taking precautions. you can actually hear him shaking the tic tacs out of the container. he's taking the tic tacs, because he knows he might do what he's done before. he might just start kissing the woman whom he's not yet met, who he's approaching on the nbc lot in burbank that day. he then says, you know, i'm automatically attracted to beautiful, you know, i just start kissing them, it's like a magnet. i don't even wait. that is essentially a more aggressive

. >> we talked to david fahrenthold last hour. he's been the one digging and digging.a murray, thank you so much. let me bring my panel back in with me. jeff toobin, to you, sir, the cease and desist, what does it mean for the trump foundation? might this mean the foundation pays back the -- i don't know ifif millions is the right word. i don't know how much his foundation ultimately collected. >> i don't think there's a remedy in law to make them pay back. they could be shut down. i think that's the most common remedy for serious violations. the whole idea of a foundation is that they are allowed to accept money, for which people get tax deductions because they're doing good works. you can't just open a checking account and say you're a foundation. states have to certify foundations are doing good works. apparently the trump foundation didn't do any of that registration in new york so the state of new york doesn't know if they are doing the kind of work that is properly within what foundations are supposed to do. one of the iron aies of this sty is saying donald trump

. >> and the other thing they're escaping questions on today is what david fahrenthold found about theation not being registered in the state of new york to solicit contributions. another crime. the crimes of donald trump piling up this week. but it's all about the tweets. >> yeah. and by my count, we're now up to nine illegal actions by the donald j. trump charitable foundation, which hardly has any money in it. there was $1.3 million in it. the attorney general of the state of new york has plenty of grounds to step in and take action against this quote charitable foundation that 40% of its gifts in 2014 were self-interested gifts to donald trump, including a large one to the prep school his son baron attends. >> explain to our audience why we're able to get a look at the trump foundation tax returns but we can't see donald trump's personal tax returns. >> the trump foundation are public records that the irs releases. congress has declared everyone's returns are totally confidential. they were open in the 1920s. but they are now totally confidential. so donald trump can tell us anythi

. >> david fahrenthold, a busy night for him.telter, who's been working his sources. he joins me now. brian, this is not new material. this is from "access hollywood" back in 2005. why did the tape leak today and how did "the post" end up with it? >> the "access hollywood" producers realized they had this tape in the archives back on monday. and that was because of an associated press story on monday morning, interviews with 20 ex-employees of "the apprentice," trump's old reality tv show. those employees talked about trump's sexist and lewd remarks over the year. the big difference, john, these were not aidtapes or videotapes. these were accounts from former employees talking about trump's behavior. the big difference today was the tape. on monday, "access hollywood" found the tape. earlier this week they talked about putting a story together. by this morning, they were ready to broadcast, but not before the debate. the question is, who leaked this tape to david at "the washington post"? and that we don't know. >> they sat on it

david fahrenthold, thank you so much. >>> forget about bringing up bill clinton's infidelity. without a lick of evidence. or fact. we'll discuss. (♪) (♪) when you are suffering from chest congestion try mucinex 12-hour. mucinex is absorbed 60 percent faster than store brands. and lasts a full 12 hours. relieve chest congestion with mucinex, and enjoy living well. >>> donald trump starting the week out with a widely criticized debate showing, and then this bombshell report that the presidential candidate may have avoided paying federal income taxes for 18 years. and now this formal cease and desist from the trump foundation from new york's attorney general for operating without proper certification. kind of a bad week, but perhaps the most cringe-inducing moment came when donald trump opened this pandora's box. >> hillary clinton's only loyalty is to her financial contributors and to herself. i don't even think she's loyal to bill, if you want to know the truth. and really, folks, really, why should she be, right? >> donald trump supporter, former new york city mayor, rudy giul

david fahrenthold of the washington post obtained that video, he released it. it showed donald trump saying things about women and his own involvement with women that we have never heard from a presidential candidate. and things that we've never heard donald trump say before on tape on video. here is some of that video. >>> you know and i moved on her actually. you know, she was down on palm beach. and i failed. i'll admit the. i did try to [ bleep ] her. she was married. >> that's huge news. >> no, no. nancy. no, this was -- >> and i moved on her very heavily. in fact, i took her out furniture shopping. she wanted to get some furniture. i said, "i'll show you where they have some nice furniture." >> i moved on her like a bitch but i couldn't get there. and she was married. then all of a sudden i see her. she's now got the big phony [ bleep ] and everything. she's totally changed her look. >> sheesh, your girl's hot -- in the purple. whoa, the donald is good. whoa, my man. >> look at you. you are a -- >> maybe it's a different one. >> very funny. you and i will

thank you, david fahrenthold. working on that pulitzer.ave one. >>> up next, the power of "snl." how can alec baldwin's impersonation of donald trump affect this race? you're watching "hardball." there he is, look at that. i thought i married an italian. my lineage was the vecchios and zuccolis. through ancestry, through dna i found out that i was only 16% italian. he was 34% eastern european. so i went onto ancestry, soon learned that one of our ancestors we thought was italian was eastern european. this is my ancestor who i didn't know about. he looks a little bit like me, yes. ancestry has many paths to discovering your story. get started for free at ancestry.com i just saved thousands on in less than a minute, i found out how much home i can afford. i like how you shop for loans the same way you shop for flights online. i didn't realize that lendingtree you can save money on almost any sort of loan. i consolidated my credit card debt with a personal loan. i found a new credit card with 0% interest for 15 months. you just shop, compare,

i don't think anyone can accuse david fahrenthold who has done really pulitzer prize-winning work, investigativeeporting, as being biassed. he's doing his job, digging. part of this is due to the fact that donald trump refused to reveal a lot of information that most candidates have done. there's more to find out on that side. i will say something else. fox for a long time has played this game of saying, well, we have our opinion shows, sean hannity and bill o'reilly, but then we have straight news from people like kelly and people like brit hume and so on. and i think what has happened is these distinctions have gotten completely blurred. they put sean hannity at a desk that looks like a news desk. they have the bug on it that says fox news. and so they have really sort of eviscerated these distinctions between what is real news, what is hard news, what has to be kwauberated. what is based on facts, and what hannity and o'reilly do. i think that was a mistake for them. i think it has denigrated from their real news people like megyn kelly, like bret baier, by associating them, and then everyone
