interaction with russian, agents of russia, during the campaign, his own apparented forekno of these democra hacks of the during the 2016 campaign and then there's the whole unfolding bucket of his binesses and the question is whether that's relevant in his presidency or not. if there's one thing to say, it's that the president faces jeopardy thatar has metastasized beyond what the mueller investigation is. robert: and faces potential legal problems on the issue of a rdon, at least his legal team does. we see michael cohen has admitted to lying to congress but is talking about the trump w team thik. mes lawyer's words dangling a pardon in the s of last year. is there any vulnerability tprre foident trump? how is his team handling it?na shi talked to some former u.s. attorneys who say dangling a pardon could equal obstruction of justice. it depends, it would be a hard case to prove because you don't know what's in people's heads, basically. ithe thing about michael cohen, thou that, because all of the information around this, did he talk to his lawyer aboutd it, is lawyer talk to president tr

sure that cuban and ssians are out and maduro and his cronies are gone and we begin to i rebuild democraorld will have to provide economic t assistance to gm through this transition period. joining me is our sta department correspondenthearbara plett- that sounded like a bit of a reality check. how committed is the u.s. to the longaul in venezuela? barbara: it is committed to the project, but it is not going to pay for everything. there was the request for $500 million to support transition to democracy in venezuela. when it comes to reconstruction, mr. pompeo said the u.s. will be part of that but he's expecting and m underwrote coalition countries -- anti-maduro coalition cotries to step up, and that is if maduro goes. if heys s there will be more chaos in the region because of the flood of refugees. jane: what about mr. trump telling the russian military to get out of can he do that, or is that just words? barbara: there is not much they can do. in theory there is military action, all options are on the table, but they always say that. no one is seriously talking abt military action a

we need to come together, recognizing our shared interests to pressure democra to make changes. number three, we have an opportunit for competitive solutions. the companies that decide to comento this space and offer us the digital, the way we want it empowering, democratizing, they sand to hav every single person on earth as their customer. none of us want surveillance capitalism. >> i know a lot of people are worried about technology andta nd yet they buy something like alexa, the personal assistant for teir homes. and they think they're okay with that because they like the convenience. so there seems to be this disconnect between what they say thbo're worried and what they do. what would you say to them? >> scholars call this theac pr paradox. we say one thing and do another. but, in fact, what we undetand is that when you actually reveal to people what is going on behind the veil backstage, nobody t wants anythido with it. the problem today is that most of us can't participate effectively in our daily lives without moving through theig al medium and the supply chains that le

expect that to be the big fight with democra saying they are po willing to sa the report and mueller, myself, exactly getting in thefindsings. >> thanks. >>> the release of william bar's summary rocked both ends of rnnsylvania avenue. the attorney genereased a statement. senator chris van holland spokeo by yesterday. >> they will want to reach the report and draw their own colusions. >> he did not believe he would n ate the president. >> the congress must have the entire report. >> the house judiciary committee chairman says he plans to call barr before congress. the house intelligence committee says it will continue looking into the president's conneion to russia. news 4 will track thet lat information in this report. check out the ho"today"w for an. >>> the frederick county sheriff's office is investigates an officer iolved shooting. >>> an officer shot and killed a man here. the officers tell me the po shooting took wayhe every . and we have chopper 4 flying overhead. this n is aghborhood with a lot of houses. and this is about a mile from two different schools. now, one neighbor h

with suburban american democra democracy. >> based on what you know, did mr.?ump lie about colluding and according withie the russian at this point during the campaign? >> as i stated in my testimony, i would not use the word "colluding." was there something odd about the back and forth praise with the president putin? yes. but i am not really sure that i can answer that question in terms of collusion. >> tucker: the balloon just deflated. talk about a let down. no meeting in prague. no blackmail. no collusion. no russian conspiracy is. it was a hoax. you have to feel silly right now if you ever believed any of this. but wait, we have one last idea. there is still a way michael cohen could send donald trump to prison evenco without russia. what if cohen confirmed that trump told him to lie to congress. that would be obstruction of justice. at the very least and certainly that would be a crime. buzz feed ran a story alleging that happened. buzz feed is run by unhappy people in brooklyn. maybe there is something this. cable news was convinced. >> it would be a bo

i'm proud of israel's vibrant democra democracy, where no one, no one, is a second class citizen. all of israel's citizens are first class citizens. all of israel's citizens, whether jew or arab, muslim, christian or jews have the same individual rights. we vote, we study in the same -- and that right is expressed in the -- and become a citizen, if they choose to do so. it is these -- existence that the nation state built constitutional law. and contrary to the false attacks and allegations, it did not denigrate. which remains sacred and equal for all our citizens. israel will always be a democracy, just as israel will always be the jewish state. a place where all -- no matter how they pray or how they live their lives. democratic jewish state of israel, we -- the jewish state that was envisioned, the jewish state that was proclaimed is the same jewish state whose future i'm working to secure. i hope the people of israel allow me to lead them for many years to come. i'm as confident as ever that as israel takes its rightful place among the nations you will be there by our side. yo

m democra democracy. what would you say as a former vice presidential nominee to the candidates running right now? >> anna, what i would say is, i think the more the merrier, i am happy to see great democratic candidates, many of whom i know quite well, jumping in and laying out their vision. some people don't like many candidates because it makes for hard choices. i like it gets people out on the field, putting out their agenda for how to bring down prescription drug costs and improve health care or how to improve our education system. it gets democrats out on agenda talking about relations with nations in the americas, and how to deal with humanitarian crisis like those in venezuela. as democrats are out in iowa, new hampshire, nevada and other states, i think it has a way of clarifying and improving the prospects that we can elect a democratic president in 2020. so we've seen a number of candidates get in this week, and i know many of them. and i like the fact that it's a vigorous and energetic primary

s house democra they'll try to override this veto. it doesn't look like they have the votes to do so. what's even tougher in the senate where they'd have to get eight more republicans to go against president trump. tractts, nbc news, washington. >>> the college admission scandal is growing. aer stanford univty student says the degree she's earning won't be worth ash muc following the scandal. ca leah woods is suing the eight universities involved. the case could become a class action lawsuit involving more than 1 million students. the civil complaint is also been filed by a mother who said the scandal kept her child from being admitted to certain schools. william singer pleaded guilty to king millions ofollars from the country's rich, fams and powerful to get their children into elite schools. accused ori lachlan is of paying half a million dollars to get her girls into usc. it's costing her family big money. channel the hallmark fired her who's won of its best known stars. her daughter was also dropped by e forra and tres may hair ca

but she says unlessts democra and republicans agree on impeachment, the process is ju f too damaging the country. today strong reaction after house speaker nancy pelosi made clear she is not for impeaching president trump. >> divides the country. unless there's some evidence that takes us to that place. th reporter: nancy pelosi tellingwashington post" magazine of the polarizing process, president trump it just worth it. the nation's top democrat getting key smport f within her own party, including the chair of the house intelligence committee which is a investigating the president. >> i see little to be gained by putting thegh country throu that kind of experience. >> reporter: the issue polarizing, even among democrats. her commentseen as trying to reign in other members who have for impeachment. >> we have a duty to impeach when we see that crimes have been committed. >> including freshman congresswoman talib who used an ibe theve to des president back in january. >> we're going to impeachhe [bleep]. >> reporter: the white house on the divide. >> i think nancy pelosi is starting t

know, from you, how do you get your colleagues and the public to focus on what the al threat to our democra is? >> bless you for saying that. that's what i've been saying for two years. this wasn attack on our country. and it's serious, and they're d gonna keng it. and the only way i can think of to do it is to try to keep making that point. now, the president of the unit states has the best megaphone of all. and a week after the election, aftehe had been briefed by t intelligence community about what happened, he should have made this speech, in my opinion. "i'm convinced, by my intelligence community and all the data, that the russians attacked our country in the prior election, and it was improper and it can't be tolerated. and we're not gonna put up with it. 're gonna find a way to respond forcefully. also, it's been alleged that my campaign had some cooperation with them. that's not the case. and if anyonin my campaign did such a thing, they should be punished to the full extent of the law." that's the speech i wish the president had made. >> and, al, "russia, i don't need your help."

when the democra president sayse democrat calling in folks to testify are sick, i fundamentally disagreeith that assertion. a lot has been made about even bringing in members of the president's family and i think it's totally appropriate to bring in members of the family if they work in a an official capacity in the united states for the white house. eric: in terms of the fdny investigation, that seems where some of the land mines are. dealing with campaign finance with the checks the president signed that michael cohen showed and a deutsche bank loan, some believing the organization inflated basically the value and worth of some of the real estate properties, perhaps to get mortgages. that could be bank fraud, they say. >> yeah, i think that is where the action is going to be. i think the mueller report, we would have heard something more about collusion with russia if he actually had something and that report is being submitted we think soon. so look, if this thing moves on to the southern district of new york, he's got a lot more problems because he's not going to be able to -- he can

. >> and he's hoping you will swallow what he's feeding you, but it's a bad diet for democra democracy. >> that's what a con man does. >> the con man is for confidence, and that's why he comes at you 100 every time. >> many people fall for the long con every time. thank you, sir. >> d. lemon, my man. >> great weekend. >> both sides, cuomo. see you next time. >> i'll take it. >>> this is "cnn tonight." i'm don lemon. what a week it has been. think about it. think about it. sunday the report came out, right? this time last week we got our first letter from the attorney general, william barr, on the muraler investigation saying it was complete. there have been two more letters since then. the latest one right here. the latest one just today, all right? a lot of news in it. mueller's report expected to be released to congress and the american people, to the american people, by mid-april if not sooner, okay? but barr is saying the process of redacting the report is, quote, well along and that mueller himself is assisting. >> all of that is really important. but it also raises a lot of quest

democra democrats at the time were in the minority in the congress.equest for the trump administration for documents and explanations. the administration blew its proverbial nose on that request, but that was last year and now the democrats are in charge, and now as of today it is five democratic-controlled committees who are writing back to the administration telling them that time's up, basically. and this time if there isn't a response, expect subpoenas to follow. joining us now is congresswoman dina titus. she is one of the authors of today's letters. she's chair of a key subcommittee that oversees the general services administration, the part of the trump administration that seems implicated here. congresswoman titus, thank you very much for being here. >> thank you for having me. >> when we first talked about this scandal, i said i would have you back as this progressed, particularly if you were able to take over in an oversight role and really start pushing here. what do you think you're going to be able to get now with control in congress that

the democra were feling pressure that they had to say something.tially it was going to be accusing or not naming her but it was going to sa antingemitism is somethi to be condemned, words to that effect. was it effective for them to doh they finally did or not. >> there is an insurgencent wing of thdemocratic party l ogressive insurgencent wing savvy with socdia very energetic highly active. those are all good things.ex they pickectly the wrong kisue in this matter. what we're ta about is an anti-semetic trope that was familiar from the middle of the 20th century. because the hall call holocausta special carong of wrong anti-semitism is a special tegory of hate. i think the democrats lost some ground not being able to say somethg obvious because of these divisions within the wrong party. it was deft for speaker pelosi. >> woodruff: lost some ground how. the leadership of thepa ty? >> they were pushed back on the issue where i think fax nancy pi was clearly right i sthe way want to approach this. >> i guess i disagree with michael in this sens i thi

base is he question's never going to abandon him, but what happens to thec democra base if the worstut of this is the indictments we've seen. we know for a lot of democrats this was going to be a way to get rid of donald trump. this was the instrument, the mueller probe to overturn the 2016 election that a lot of people uldn't explain after it happened. if the worse that we see is these indictmts is that base going to be deflated and swing voters and the suburban districts they know really well. those swing voters, if democrats try it on take this into overtime is the fatigue worse and do people start andoning democrats? >> i think democrats have to be careful, but you sai this isn't like venezuela. let's be really clear here. if they use executive power and execut privilege and what we have is the respect for a rule of law andthe line between the executive power and the rule law. trump has crossed that norm and behaved in bizarre ways repeatedly and if the report focuses on that, it is a little bit likese venezuela and t countries where the president controls the rule of law,e don't

it. [ applause ] in the film, jonathan shanza, the vice-president of the foundation for defense of democra democracies, makes an admission. he says, personally, i think the anti -- that anti-semitism as a smear is not what it used to be. i completely share professor hixson's statement that we must stand against anti-semitism, as any other form of racist. anti-jewish bigotry of any kind has no place in a moment for palestinian hu palestinian human rights. that's a message that we must always be in the forefront of saying. of course, there is a cynical campaign to weaponize false accusations of anti-semitism to smear and silence people. this has been done with, sadly, a great deal of success in the uk where for the past three or four years, labour party leader jeremy corbyn has been the target of bogus claims that the party under his leadership is facing endemic institutional anti-semitism. it's a lie. it's an outright lie. there have been very few number of marginal cases which have rightly been condemned. but there's no evidence that the party is institutionally anti-semitic. the warning i

you ask why they support donald trump and they talk about democra democrats. they don't talk about donald trump. it's like i don't want this person to be president, i don't want that person to be president. those people don't understand me, they're from another world. it's this disconnect that somehow this manhattan billionaire, supposed billionaire, has figured out how to connect on with people in middle america and democrats still aren't. >> joe, i don't disagree with that assessment. i think it's fairly accurate. nor do i disagree with michael claiming and legitimately so that the state of the economy has a lot to do with those numbers that we just read. there was a blizzard of numbers there. i think, though, there's a little something larger going on and i think what it is is those numbers that we just read at this stage of his president after the two hour and 20-minute speech on saturday, they prove i think that donald trump's sustained assault on the nature of the presidency, on our democracy, on common sense, on truth, a stand daily assault has had a hu

this is how we strengthen our democra democracy. mr. chairman, this is how we win. thank you. >> thank you very much. mr. lorber. >> thank you, mr. chairman. ranking member nunes. i'm monitored to appear before you today. russia poses a serious national security challenge to the united states. in the last two years alone, russia has illegally occupied crim crimea, destabilized ukraine, subvert western democracies including by attacking the integrity of u.s. elections, launched cyber attacks against the united states and allies, and used chemical weapons to conduct assassinations in western europe. the united states and its partners must respond forcefully and thoughtfully to this threat, including to the use of targeted economic measures. as an economic sanctions and illicit finance compliance professional, i will focus my testimony today on three key points. first, our sanctions on russia have had an impact. through the use of course of economic measures, we have put pressure on particular russian targets and caused economic pain to the russian economy. second, thi
