they have followed donald trump to that new low. those followers of donald trump are lost.they didn't use to believe. approving of things they didn't use to approve of. unless the impeachment process catches up with donald trump, trump followers will remain lost in trumpism until a majority of americans who have always opposed donald trump and trumpism turn out in full strength in the next election and do an intervention for trump followers that removes donald trump from office. and breaks their addiction to trumpism. that is tonight's "last word." "the 11th hour" with brian williams starts now. williams starts now. >>> tonight, the most significant move yet since democrats took over the house. we have details of the sweeping congressional investigation into the people around donald trump and seemingly all things related to trump. plus seems like we just said this, but once again the week before us could be consequential. with a lot of moving parts to watch that could determine the fate of some well-known names. >>> and we've narrowed down what you need to see from the satu

the subpoena demands copies of all communications between an insurance broker and donald trump and the trump organization, state and federal investigators are not the only ones that found michael cohen's testimony credible enough to require further investigation, a new poll shows that 50% of voters believe michael cohen now more than they believe president trump with only 35% believe president trump more than they believe michael cohen. that same poll shows that 64% of voters believe that president trump committed crimes before he took office. only 24% do not believe the president committed crimes before he took office. 45% of voters believe that the president has committed crimes while in office. 43% do not believe that the president has committed crimes while in office. michael cohen provided the house oversight committee evidence that president trump has indeed committed crimes both before he took office during his presidential campaign and while in office as president. that evidence came in the form of checks delivered to michael cohen from president trump including one that was si

he joined the firm working for fred trump at the same time donald did. he does president trump's tax returns, signs most of the checks on significant deals. more important than the paperwork is he looks at all the significant transactions that the trump organization engages in and gives them his blessing. he's sitting next to trump's side for four decades, signing off on everything they did. this is an organization that routinely pushed the limits of the law and the limits of financial propriety in order to get things done so the president could get another bag of cash on the desk. >> midwin charles, the question that i had for congressman ro khanna is we have all been talking about russiagate. what we call russiagate for three years now. if, in fact, what this opens up is an extensive forensic examination of donald trump's business dealings, tax returns. whether he's committed financial crimes. does that become the avenue where it goes and does it become the primary interest of the prosecutors? >> i think it does. what we have now is two tracks. we have

in 2008, donald trump jr. stated that russia was an important financial partner. >> donald trump jr. says in the 2008 conference quote, "russians make up a pretty disproportionate cross-section of a lot of our assets." we see a lot of money pouring in from russia. >> eric trump told james dodson the same thing. >> eric trump suggested to a well regarded call that those funding came from russia. >> eric trump told the new york post that he was misquoted, stating the allegations was quote, "complete garbage." donald trump had been to russia more than once. he first went to 1987 when it is still the soviet union, he returned in 1996. his connection with russia grew deeply when a russian oligarch helped him stage the pageant in russia. >> we met aguilar in moscow and he came up to us and received a warm welcome. >> rob gold stone is a publicist who works for aguilar. >> mr. trump says he believes that the russians had a strong leader in president putin unlike america whose leader was weak. >> donald trump expresse

in 1982 donald trump -- donald trump is not a palm beach kind of guy. this is a kind of staid, kind of traditional place. even more so in 1982 when donald trump came down here the first time. he stays at the breakers hotel. he's a miami beach kind of guy. he went there all when he was growing up. he stayed at the breakers, it's raining, so he gets a limo, has a limo drive him around the town, and he says what's for sale? and the driver says or, well, mar-a-lago's for sale. now, if donald trump was part of the eastern establishment, he would know what mar-a-lago was. it was built in the '20 by marjorie meriwether post. 85,000 square feet on 17 acres. for the years she was building it, she cornered the market on gold gild. of trump goes in and sees it, and he thinks it's just fantastic. he loves it, and he decides he has to have it. he's in his mid 30s. he doesn't have the money for a place like this, but he wants it. mrs. post, in her last years,ed had given the estate to the american government for a winter white house. that's the way she wanted it woul

jared is a good -- i was never involved with his security. >> donald trump is not the only trump whoied that the president interfered in the security clearance process. >> there were anonymous leaks about there being issues, but the president had no involvement pertaining to my clearance or my husband's clearance. >> now you know what ivanka trump looks like when she's lying. "the new york times" reports that white house counsel don mcdpm mcgahn and white house chief of staff john kelly were so concerned about the president ordering a security clearance for his son-in-law that they each wrote memos in which they clarified their objections to the security clearance for jared kushner. tonight overnight committee chair elijah cummings sent a letter to the white house saying that they have, quote, stalled, ekwquivocated and failed to produce a single document or witness to the committee about security clearances. today harvard law professor lawrence tribe said if trump is ever impeached, the charges of great and dangerous offenses against the nation should include recklessly imperilling

it appears to be a personal checking account of donald j. trump and it is signed by donald trump. why the change in checks? why the different checks from a different checking account suddenly on may 23rd, 2017? why did the trump business decide they no longer should be involved in the payments to michael cohen? robert mueller was appointed special prosecutor on may 17th, 2017. and it is the very next check after that, six days later. the may 23rd check that suddenly comes from a different checking account and is signed by donald trump personally. and all of the checks reimbursing michael cohen for the rest of the year come from that different checking account now that donald trump and everyone at the trump business knows that there is a special prosecutor investing -- investigating donald trump and the trump organization. and all of the rest of those payoff checks to michael cohen come from that donald trump checking account with only one signature on those checks, only the signature of donald trump. was allen weissleberg no longer willing to sign those checks? why did allen weissl

donald trump's socialism. that's tonight's "last word." an williams starts now. >>> tonight, the trouble for trump. the president headed into a new month after a week of damaging new accusations of failure to land a deal with north korea. and now we've got exclusive reporting tonight that democrats are getting ready to formally ask for his tax returns. >>> plus, in a court filing late today, paul manafort's lawyers argue for less jail time before the former trump campaign chair's sentencing next week. "the 11th hour" on a friday night starts now. good evening from here in new york. i'm katy tur in for brian williams. day 771 of the trump administration

the question is, what did donald trump know and what did he know when. and maybe a whole lot of nothing here. but the democrats are going to insist that, look, we need every bit of information put out into the public doug domain or that e have access to so we can determine whether donald trump or -- here's the big one, needs to be looked at for impeachment, something that the democrats have been resistant at the leadership level for because they don't want to go forward with that particular process but if there was evidence to indicate that donald trump in some way or some fashion either colluded with russians or knew information about other people trying to work with the russians that would be a problem and everyone pretty much agrees at this point that the russians did some really bad things in the 2016 election, that's not in question. the question is at least what we're talking about is did donald trump noe anythin know at that. eric: there's information in the report that goes to the intelligence committee, adam schiff. >> the political implications

is it donald trump, one of the trump children, or just more to pile on to paul manafort?utely donald trump. i remember when he flipped, somebody said, well, he used to carry the president's phone, so he knows exactly what the president was doing during this whole time period. there are still roles in court documents that we've seen rolled out that we don't know who played that role. for example, who is the one that was directed to get roger stone to go reach out to wikileaks to find out what they were publishing? stone himself said that was probably rick gates. so that ties stone right next to trump and that witness, that person, would know who ordered him to tell stone to go reach out to wikileaks. that's just one example. but there are going to be tons for gates. >> very lastly, carol, inwonder if there's a sense that you have that, even if some of these guys are helping out and cooperating, they still did a lot of bad stuff. is it just a layman's misunderstanding to say that it seems like most of the people who have been sentenced so far have gotten pretty light senten

no one is watching fox news thought donald trump colluded with russia. nothing. here is another thing. according to the poll weeks ago, 64% of americans think donald trump is a criminal. they believe he committed crimes before coming to office. richard nixon -- two-thirds of america believes that donald trump are crooks. democratic kand dacandidates are right move. you don't need to make the case two years in how bad the guy is. he's today of any modern day president at 53%. jimmy carter at 39% and he lost reelection. i think democrats should make the case. you know why you should not vote for donald trump, sexest and racist and bigot. >> i agree with democrats, don't waste your time, let mueller report do its job. be responsible. we know 2018, that was a referendum. we made it clear. don't vote. we are saying no to trump and what he's about. >> do you agree with that? the reality is these democrats have to make an affirmative case for themselves. a lot of them are the potential jury. i mean it is what it is. >> i am less worried of the jury factor than i

donald trump asking russia to find hillary clinton's e-mails. e hey, russia, you are listening quote we played. having advanced knowledge of the wikileaks dumps, knowing about the trump tower meetings with russia by his son, son-in-law and paul manafort and others, siding with vladimir putin over u.s. intelligence and knowing that michael flynn lied to the fbi about trade dealing sanctions with cooperation with the trump administration. where in that list of things do you see actual potential for crimes? >> so, joy, robert mueller has indicted 12 russian intelligence operatives tore illegally conspireing to get donald trump elected. the question is, are there american co-conspirators including donald trump? the very day donald trump said, russia, if you are listening, go get hillary's e-mails, that's the day that the russian intelligence operatives made their first attempt to hack clinton's e-mails. now, maybe that's just a coincidence, or maybe it's evidence that suggests that there were people in the trump campaign who were co-conspirators. con

he's reported on donald trump for decades. he was sued by donald trump and he won. you got the information about the stuff that was released related to michael cohen's arrest records. the warrant that led to the arrest. what stands out to you? >> what stands out to me is the length of the search warrant, the amount of detail in the search warrant and the amount of evidence in the search warrant. so i have reviewed, written, reviewed hundreds of search warrants during my time as a prosecutor. they are sometimes very detailed. they sometimes rbt. i will tell you this is one of the most thorough detailed ones i have ever seen and that's saying a lot. it tells us really by the time they got these search warrants to go in and do the -- execute the search warrants on michael cohen's premises. they already had so much evidence about various crimes he had committed, including the campaign contribution scheme. the illegal campaign contribution scheme. we know that, because that's 18 pages worth out of the affidavit. there's a lot of attachments and whatever, it's really 18 s

why are they lending to donald trump?> one theory, and we may find out through this investigation, was that deutsch bank wasn't really the lender. they laid this off to dtb. that's the russian spy bank or one of the other state banks. it's not uncommon for banks to simulate big loans and spread the risk among several banks. but it's long been subpoenaed that deutsch bank made these loans because it was really the russians who were at risk. is that something, david enrich, you think the attorney general would be able to penetrate? >> i think they're certainly interested in trying. i have to say, though, i spent more than a year now digging into the relationship between deutsch bank and donald trump for a book that i'm writing on the subject that comes out early next year. and i have not seen any evidence -- i've talked to basically every person at deutsch bank, past and present, who was involved in any way with the trump relationship over the past two decades, and every single one of them has told me basically the same thi

the senate there are still some moderates but they are keeping their heads down their frayed of donald trump's anger and his tweeting and his mob and so moderate republicanism and centrist republican isn't a still out there it's just in the tall grass hiding from the trump world is a soon to be published book pushing nk by generals vicky ward reportedly portrays yvonne did trump and jared cushion is power hungry opportunists who only care about enriching themselves was your view about jim. well i think jared nevaeh. i think jared evocate had a long term at the white house with no visible things to prove that they were you know affective you know jared kushner supposedly is running the middle east peace process opioids technology business all these other it's huge portfolio and there's no there there no one could tell you with a gun to their head what evocate does or for her job every day and so i think that characterization of these being two very ambitious hustlers who are in the white house is it rings true and i think that reporting in the washington post this earlier this week about how do

donald trump's life experience is crime pays. is -- he owns the only casino in which there is a known case of cheating customers in atlantic city was at trump's castle. we need to recognize we have a man in the white house who is a third-generation the white collar crime family. i also think firmly that we nend to understand d his relationship and his attitude and treatment regarding the kremlin, which is a hostile foreign power that was attacking our elections muellll. mueller's r rort says t they wee attacking our election. thatd trump encouraged attack. that should disturb us deeply. amy: glenn greenwald, , before e get a break and then come back, respond to what david cay and fromand also this alert year,r,om july of last they p put out an alert s statig "action alert. it is been over a year since msnbc has mentioned u.s. war in yemen." the tragedy ofs everything that just happen. david and i have known each other for many years and have respect for each other's work. i will be presumptive enough to say i have respect for his

donald trump is not well.as he's president, our nation is not safe." >> well, look, i don't know how unwell he is, but it is clear from his behavior as phil said over the past three years, not just with john mccain, he cannot seem to let anything go when the slight seems to be to him. he takes this personally. this isn't a fight over what he saw john mccain as doing as bad for the country or improper policy. he went against him. he voted against him on that health care bill. he went against him when he, you know, had deemed to reveal the steele dossier. he went against him -- >> the fbi already had. >> which the fbi already had. and also, it also, donald trump reveals his insecurities in the things that he gets upset about. for example, military service. we see how he touts the military. he wants to have a parade, you know, in the style of kim jong-un and other authoritative nations, but he, himself, knows that he did not serve. in fact, he got five deferments and put him against a war hero, that is what he at

know do you donald trump and will walk away from their summit in vietnam so what went wrong and where does it leave did nuclear threats from north korea this isn't so story. hello and welcome to the program i'm hard on that hamid sometimes you have to walk this was how u.s. president donald trump described the sudden end to his summit with north korea's leader kim jong un the pair rived in vietnam with hopes of building on last year's historic summit in singapore but less than two days later they signed no agreement and it's unclear when they'll talk again north korea's neighbors south korea and china both said they were disappointed with the outcome we'll bring in our panel in just a moment but first when hey reports from hanoi. before the summit us president donald trump tried to lower expectations of a deal with north korean leader kim jong il but the expectation was at the very least that the pair would sign some form of agreement on denuclearization or make a joint statement instead the talks were cut short before lunch the table will sit for the diners didn't show leaving donald

>> well, you have to look at what got donald trump elected in the first place in 2016. an area and the movement towards trump. to me, the main driving force was that we automated away 4 million manufacturing jobs in michigan, ohio, pennsylvania, wisconsin, missouri and iowa all the swing states he needed to win and did win. now unfortunately my friends in silicon valley know that we'll do the same thing to millions of retail workers, call center workers, fast food workers and eventually truck drivers. so i'm running for president to wake up america to the fact it's not immigrants causing the problems but pushing the americans to struggle to get by. >> are you suggesting you're going to reverse the trend of history and get those jobs back? stop other sectors from being automated? >> well, that would be the trump approach and that's impossible. what i'm suggesting is that we move forward and we start spreading the bounty from all of this innovation, more broadly and quickly to the american people. so i'm provising the -- proposing the dividend, that every american receives

>> donald trump jr. nka trump. >> do you recall how many of these briefings there might have been? >> approximately ten in total. >> problem for donald trump jr., potentially. the testimony of michael cohen under oath is that he briefed don junior and ivanka about the tower meeting. question, did you have any involvement in the potential deal in moscow? answer, i was peripherally aware of it. michael cohen says ten briefings. >> that's the artful answer trump has learned to give. donald's style is to work through other people, his children, michael cohen and not only pit them against each other but to create deniability. this is what i told them. i didn't tell them to break the law, i told them to do x. that's what you're seeing play out here. don junior will have a very tough time asserting that he had no idea. >> how about ivanka? here's ivanka answering abbey huntsman of abc about the same project? >> the moscow project in russia -- >> barely know about it. i've learned a lot more about it watching the

if i'm donald trump, i'm not looking that badly. i've got investigations coming from the right and the left and yet with the core of his base and certainly elements within the general population, there's something about trump that's still very appealing. for a lot of those folks behind those numbers is the state of the current economy, where things are for those individuals, their families, their job prospects, their small business still relatively good. yes, there are some weaknesses around the edges, there are concerns about whether or not a recession will kick in by the second or third quarter this year, but right now people feel very, very good. if i'm trump, i go to cpac and give a two and a half hour speech because i know i can. it adds another layer of drama and excitement about a presidency that's already had a lot of drama and excitement. he's in a good spot as he wakes up this morning and he goes what do the democrats have to offer? what are you going to beat me with? to get the extra 5 or 6 percentage points in the next ye

no exquisitely laid out plan will survive contact with donald trump's twitter feed. the entire thing is contingent what trump is going to do at any given moment, what impulses take him. so shine was doomed from the beginning. in the future, all of us would be white house communications director for 15 minutes because this thing is just going to go on and on and on. nobody can survive in this job. it is impossible. it is completely, you know, completely fruitless position to hold. >> it is riding the proverbial bull. maya, let's talk about the pardon. now 24 hours -- not the pardon, i'm sorry. the sentence for paul manafort now 24 hours old. the president was asked about pardoning manafort earlier today. here's what he said. >> i don't even discuss it. the only one discussing it is you. i haven't discussed it. >> the irony, of course, of that, maya, is that the president tweeted this morning that he had discussed a pardon with michael cohen and michael cohen had ask him specifically about this. where do you -- where do you stand on what paul manafort is thinking with r

for donald trump.majority of the military support trump, that leaves hundreds of thousands of military personnel that don't support donald trump. it feels ridiculous to even have to say any of this out loud. donald trump has pushed the country to this place. to this level of suspicion about what he wants. and i'm sure donald trump would like to have the police and the military, and bikers for trump take up arms if he loses an election. but they won't. they won't because they are better people than donald trump wants them to be, they are not violent criminals, ready to commit treason and murder. for donald trump. there are not millions of people in america ready to grab their guns and go to war against americans for donald trump. president trump's rhetoric has given aide and comfort to hateful murderers in this country. on august 12th, 2017, a white supremacist drove his car into a crowd of opponents of white supremacists and deliberately murdered heather higher. that was soul crushing for the country t

i think what donald trump is trying. to do are those is not are not not queer the pitch any further not not skew things and make the environment that much harder even for the negative at the end of the day when i think a couple of weeks we will hear back from the north korean side as to how they would like to proceed further we must remember that in april of twenty eighteen it was at the third plenum that the north korean the third plenum of the workers' party that kim jong un said you know what i am now going to move a very from dual military economic focus to a purely economic forecasts and who knows in this next month sometime in mid april he might come back and say you know what i might have a dual focus and also do in terms of building my military as well as my economy which can which can be a real certain back for the for the for the denuclearization related talks so at this point of time the ball really resides on the north korean side on how they will respond after hanoi and i think donald trump is going a little

that was donald trump.point is here, and the big picture point is that the american people and the investigators are going to have to decide whether donald trump, his family and his inner circle, all of whom were described there by michael cohen, together constitute an ongoing criminal conspiracy that might have made itself either vulnerable or willing to conspire with the russians, but even if it didn't do that, is this ongoing tax evading, hush money paying, corner cutting, ongoing criminal conspiracy that's interested in one thing, which is money for the family. i don't know what jared kushner may have done or said that got the cia's interest. it could be foreign policy or it could be money. >> yeah. >> that might have left him open to blackmail. that's the big question here -- >> right. >> and that's what connects all the different investigations in new york and washington. is this basically a giant rico case? that's what we're dealing with. >> lightning round of all the names named. as a reporter and f

thanks donald trump says he's told the u.s. treasury not to impose any new sanctions on north korea it comes after the north is said to have pulled itself out of the into korean liaison office de facto embassy and communication channel four and seoul. north korea informed us this morning that it would who out its staff from the liaison office on instructions from a superior authority and it would through its staff the north said it doesn't mind the south remaining in the office and that it will not to fight on further practical matters in the future our government finds the north decision regrettable and it is hoped that the north returns its staff to the liaison office for normal operation as it was agreed between the two countries. latest setback on the korean peninsula donald trump's apparent attempt at damage limitation comes just a month after talks between the u.s. and north korea collapsed in a summit in vietnam that was due to differences over washington sanctions regime correspondent joining to you know neal earlier to

those are stories donald trump clearly wants everyone to focus on. we haven't covered those on "the beat" tonight and we're not covering them tonight. instead, we have some stories tonight on the trump administration cracking down on key protections for victims of human trafficking and sexual slavery. we have a report on how ideas for radical reform are going mainstream in the current political moment and what that means. and we begin right now with a topic that donald trump often tries to overshadow with those other antics that i mentioned. the topic is the grinding progress in the mueller probe, as trump's closest advisers, paul manafort and roger stone, await their next trials. and as washington remains on edge over where mueller is headed and if he's nearly finished or if his prosecutors are busy with the press of other work. that's the reason one prosecutor sided for a delay in another case. whatever mueller does next, the facts are that he's produced the most effective far-reaching into a probe in white house history. six people indicted in the

perjury against donald trump jr.?i don't know enough about what his intent was, about comparing the facts with the particular words he gave when he was testifying. but i do think based on his testimony and other things, i do think donald trump is in jeopardy. we're all in jeopardy because if something would befall donald trump jr., i don't know what his father is capable of. >> you have investigations in the house and senate, the southern district of north carolina, you have paul manafort in d.c. and virginia. it's a lot to sift through. people who have lives and kids and jobs, how should they be thinking about all these investigations? what is important right now and what may be important later? >> you're right. it's hard even for somebody like me who used to run the sdny, which i right a lot about in the book, to figure it all out. i think one thing people need to keep in mind is to be a little patient. every time there's a development and a report of one subpoena and they immediately jump to the conclusion someone'

and perhaps he already was, in the obstruction of justice investigation into donald trump out of the n doj, the mueller office, and perhaps one also at sdny. >> we should expect that plenty of trump officials are lying to us, but it is jaw dropping that the acting attorney general blatantly lied to congress and he was concerned enough about going to prison that he came back a week later to do clean up. >> yeah, but that is what he is here for, he wants them to be a personal lawyer at the taxpayer expense. he saysly not be your michael cohen, and he was not that guy. not only will he be in trouble, i hope he loses his law license, e i hope that everyone else who covers for this guy faces serious consequences. >> i worked in the white house, i turned over my e-mails, they will have tof go home and look at their partners and decide night after night if donald trump is worth going to jail for. >> that is why i think when you come to elise's point, what was his thinking going into that original testimony. what transpired between that testimony and today that he decided he needed to reverse

when the plo reviews president donald trump shut their office that refused president donald trump shut their office down. today thanks to so many of you is the law of the land. when president trump promised to cut off funding to anti- israel agencies at the united nations he meant it. and last year the united states ended all u.s. contributions to --. beyond all that they president promised to stand up to the world's leading state sponsor of terror and he withdrew the united states of america from the disastrous nuclear deal with iran. there will be no more -- attacks in iran. last year they president did what no other american president before him had the courage to do, when he moved the american embassy to jerusalem the capital of the state of israel. as though all of this wasn't enough his prime minister benjamin that yahoo said last week he did it again. for 20 years after israel's in syria -- with his this massive artillery held israel hostage. this region changed hands only after israel won a war forced upon it. years later when enemies attack israel on the holiest day of the jew

to a congressional committee, donald trump jr., signing those reimbursement checks, donald trump jr. implicated in other criminal activity, you have the connections that are the hallmark of a conspiracy. >> you seem to have your eyes on donald trump jr. you think he lied to the committee? >> i think he lied to our committee, at least so far as we can tell right now. >>> ahead, congresswoman rashidah talib on her take of the cohen hearing and why she spoke truth to power with racism and the president and next, breaking news from "the new york times." the president of the united states lied, flat out, about overruling his own intelligence agencies to get national security clearance for his son-in-law. that story in two minutes. son-in-law that story in two minutes. >>> well, they lied again. think only specialty stores have what's new? olay has the hottest debut. new olay clay stick masks, hydrating facial mist, and brightening eye cream. only by olay. even our pets know to go because it's the easiest way to save 30% on all the medications we carry. so skip the search and go directly t

and later, you can call it only a serious and embarrassing rebuke, donald trump's own party, republicans rejecting trump in the heart of his agenda on immigration. so we have a lot going on as seems to be the case these days. we begin with what could be the epic subpoena showdown of this term. the white house, they're not waiting, negotiating, they're saying no way, refusing to turn over key documents about what many call a nepotism scandal, jared kushner's security clearance. they won't give up the intel to congress. democrats led by elijah cummings, fresh off much watched michael cohen hearings, they say they're not taking no for an answer. this is what it looks like. the white house says the request for documents on the security clearance was overly intrusive, while they would brief congress, they won't give up the documents that they're demanding. "new york times" reported what you know was a bombshell that donald trump lied and had overruled his own intelligence professionals and ordered them to give jared kushner a security clearance, despite serious concerns about national securit

total exoneration, complete vindication, those were donald trump's words. fbi official to push the collusion theory and authorize the warrant could have big problems. we are live for michigan with the highlights. the democrat at the helm of the house intelligence committee is not backing down because of investigating the president while calls for ships's resignation are growing tonight. we have team coverage tonight. kristin fisher reporting on the total tonight at a rally with the president firing up debates. we will take you live to michigan with kevin cork where the president wrapped up a while ago. >> good to be with you. the president came out swinging to use a boxing analogy. he threw a few punches and the media, took a few left hooks at the democrats and in particular he came out swinging against what he likes to call the deep state, the president holds the mall responsible for this so-called russian hoax. >> the russia witchhunt was a plan by those who lost the election to try and illegally regain power by framing innocent americans, many of them su

said the following about donald trump. take a listen. >> it is no secret that mr. trump has campaigned on white supremacist ideology, on division and fear. and now we see that he was able to normalize islamaphobia and to give legitimacy to those who fear muslims and fear immigrants. it comes back to him and we tell him that your words matter and your policies matter. and he would like to be the leader of the free world. he has to change his policies. and he has to reset the tone by recommitting himself to unity, equality, not only in words but also in policies. so he has a lot to do and we hope that he will take the first step by condemning this as a white supremacist attack. >> when the president of the united states is spoken of that way in the wake of an attack like what happened in new zealand, how do we get back our moral authority to be able to respond in a profound way when something like what happened in new zealand takes place? >> unfortunately i think as many have said, this president has lost his moral authority in different ways. he lost it around charlo

so would -- so would donald trump. regardless, it seems like from at least the barr version of mueller's report that there was no conspiracy here. there was no -- not enough evidence of conspiracy to criminally convict anybody, but what we do have is a presidential candidate, at the very least, standing at a podium in july of 2016 and saying, russia, if you're listening, find the e-mails. >> absolutely. >>ener was a presidential candidate waving around the wikileaks releases and saying "i love wikileaks" and reading off the embarrassing information to his advantage. that stuff all happened very much in the open. then there is a reporting on the don jr. trump tower meeting. we know all of that. what is the message that russia's already gotten. >> absolutely. the message that russia's gotten is that the attorney general of the united states can put out a four-page document about a 400-page report and basically say everything is okay and, russia, you've gotten away with it. i think that putin probably feels pretty good to

and donald trump jr. are under investigation. the only reason that this has been redacted is because of an ongoing investigation. the two people that we know that the u.s. attorneys office is looking at is donald trump and his son. so, this does not auger well for either of them. >> you are going to say, and i'll have beret respond. you have enough evidence there, to be sure -- not that you want donald trump jr. under investigation in sdny, not that you think it's warranted but you say that proves it's already happening? >> i think it's happening. those are the two people that are potential subjects of this investigation that are so obvious. i mean, when you look at what the evidence is, now there are two witnesses that could testify against donald trump and donald trump jr. it's michael cohen and it's the fellow from the enquirer. and then you've got documents that back it up, checks that were signed. you've got a tape that corroborates him. and even better donald trump's kind of shifting statements on w

does donald trump not know that his own administration's positions, what they are? ree with them, or is it like "the washington post" observed today? for president trump, the easiest problems to solve are the ones created by his own policy. that's all for tonight. all for the last word. "the 11th hour" with brian williams starts right now. >>> tonight, the attorney general has issued a clarification. we are now told the mueller report is several hundreds pages long. he says we, the people, can expect a redacted version by mid-april. the problem is that's not going to cut it for democrats in congress. >> plus, a former ambassador to russia is with us to talk about what it was like in front of adam schiff's house intel committee. when the political divide burst wide open. >>> and the president begins another florida weekend claiming he's been exonerated and threatening to shut down our southern border. all of it as "the 11th hour" gets underway on a friday night.

that shows you the lengths they went to cover up to help donald trump win. we knew in 2016 there was an alliance after trump got the republican nomination that fox news was going to become what ultimately became state tv. that's what the audience wants. they were beholden to the trump base, which formed basically the entire fox news audience. they had no power, even if they wanted to break with donald trump, that would be game over for their business. >> you mean marketwise. >> yes, marketwise. back when megyn kelly was feuding with donald trump, fox news producers could see her ratings going down. the audience did not want to hear it. >> angelo, that gets to the relationship as it exists today. it's described as symbiotic, it's sort of a partnership. it's almost impossible to distinguish the white house operation now run by bill shine, the comms operation who used to run fox news and was roger ailes second in command and the white house itself. >> just to underscore that, just to give one example, there was a time last summer where the fox & friends segment
