no one makes donald trump's problems get worse better than donald trump. so today when he was asked about john bolton, donald trump would not resist taking shots at john bolton, attacking john bolton. calling john bolton not smart. john bolton resisted responding to donald trump's provocation. well, john bolton didn't completely resist. he said some very important words. john bolton said i will have my say in due course. that was first reported as a text john bolton sent to the washington post and soon nbc news confirmed those exact words from john bolton today, i will have my say in due course. it would have been much better for donald trump if john bolton decided to have his say today and get it over with, but on this, at least, john bolton is much, much smarter than donald trump. john bolton is going to have his say. he is going to respond to the insults that donald trump threw at him today. but john bolton is going to control the timing and the form of his response to donald trump. john bolton has already written one book of memoirs of serving in a rep

this is the crown jewel of the donald trump empire. >> this is where he made his mark. >> trump tower is the home base for donald trump and his sprawling real estate portfolio. this iconic building has served both as the setting of his popular reality show that aired on nbc, "the apprentice" -- >> you're fired. >> i am officially running -- >> and as the launch pad for the most inprobable presidential campaign to ever succeed. i mean, it does make you feel something when you drive by. look at all the different windows. who's paying what money to where inside that building? this is trump international? >> yep, hotel and tower. so there are apartments here. but it is also a hotel. >> i've never heard of one person that stayed in that hotel. >> saudis have stayed there. and not just any saudis. according to a letter obtained by nbc news, officials traveling with crown prince mohammad bin salman stayed at the trump international for five days following a white house visit in march 2018. it was a letter by the general manager saying the saudis have helped us with our bottom line. >> and ho

>> that was the date of donald trump's first major national television appearance on the today show with tom, talking about the -- the building of trump tower and various other projects and what i mean by, you know, particularly for the purposes of my book is that my book is not biography per se although it follows donald trump's life, the study of a character, long-time decade's long performance in the media that donald trump sought out and cast himself as and played for years, so, you know, speaking to although nobody recognized it at the time, speaking to the host of today on a network where he would later host the apprentice, presidential debates, you know, excess hollywood, that was really the birthday of a television character and a long-time performance that would become significant. >> was it a purposeful performance in your view? >> you know, i sort of say in the book that it's difficult to get into the question particularly with donald trump on, you know, what's the real donald trump and what's not. that is, you know, people actually wonder about this, is what he does in the me

like the gentleman to explain how well he knows donald trump before he wrote the book. did he personally have knowledge whoonald trump like many do stand up for him? host: let's take that question. guest: first off [laughs] i think i am arguing the same extent that your caller is saying which is that donald trump is who he is, and the evidence is in front of our eyes. that, maybe she feels it is disrespectful to camera, how he is on how he is as a media figure, but show me the lioness. i do not see what is wrong with acknowledging that this is a person that has created what he has done through the media. , the notion that donald trump -- again, who has been a famous public figure for decades -- that he is a good --ticl], that he public figure for decades, that that he isstical, braggadocio is, it is ridiculous. that everything i am saying here is backed up with the ample evidence that he is given through his performance and his words and his character. host: why it write the b -- why write the book? guest: i think that television is the nervous system of the democracy. t

who signed on to the iran nuclear deal, britain and france and germany now say they agree with donald trumpit was iran that was responsible for the saudi attack, the attack on saudi oil facilities and like mister trump they say iran should now agree to a bigger new deal on nuclear weapons and on regional stability and your missile systems. will you agree to reopen the talks? >> translator: once we carried on negotiations with the united states of america for two years and during a 17 day period the foreign minister of iran and us secretary of state had continuous talks without returning to their countries. it was extremely difficult but we did reach an agreement enshrined in the united nations security council resolution and without a valid reason or cause the united states left this agreement. it took away the foundation of trust. i think more than the issues touched on the most basic needed issue is trust and mister trump damaged the trust between the two countries, trust must be restored and the restoration of trust consists of taking away the pressure imposed upon the nation and the peo

is he one of those people working for donald trump who will avoid any possible public conflict with donald trump like former defense secretary james mattis, who has written a book which is being largely ignored because it does not describe the kind of trump chaos that bob woodward's book describes and michael wolff's book describes, both giant best-sellers. if john bolton is the kind of person who will hold back what he knows is publishing gold, is john bolton that kind of person? is he the kind of person that will now protect donald trump out of personal loyalty to donald trump? john bolton has already publicly disagreed with donald trump about how he left his job as national security adviser. there is very likely going to be a john bolton book about donald trump. and john bolton began in effect writing it today in a tweet contradicting president trump. the least important disagreement that donald trump and john bolton have ever had is their final disagreement, the disagreement over john bolton's departure today from the job of white house national security adviser. president trump says h

donald trump used "lock her up" as a catchphrase during his run for president. apparently, the state department began contacting former officials in the state department 18 months ago, after trump's election, and then seemed to drop the effort to try and investigate her again, though she was cleared by the justice department under fbi director jim comey, picking it up again in august. that's significant, because it does appear that this push to go back to investigating senator clinton coincides with these attempts to get dirt on joe biden. you know, it would look to the outside, looking in, as if donald trump is now trying to use this state department investigation to try and create sort of legal liability for the former secretary of state and first lady. what do you make of that, as a member of congress? you said on judiciary, what might congress do about that? >> well, we'll investigate it, but this is no different than what this president has been doing, whether it was while he was campaigning or since he's been sworn in to uphold an oath of office that he cle

ever since donald trump has been in office, i voted for donald trump myself and i will again in 2020. there's a real person there that is a true american. after 40 years of my life, and and 30 8 years old, years and goth bless, i did have a job for 30 years. all our job, my generation has seen our jobs leave. health care get worse. and everything. now we got a president here that's going for the american people and it seems like our congress has got a problem with that. on both sides to tell you the truth. you know, there's no difference between a dictatorship of hitler or a dictatorship of the new world order. they want to categorize us as their servants and what they want and how it is. host: we'll let you go there, jeff. the republican leader is coming out to the microphone.

there was this a caricature of donald trump portrayed by the bloodthirsty liberal media. i see somebody different. trump really appreciate the fact mike pence generally seems to like him and sincerely seems to believe he is not a bad person, the villain in windows police he is. on the day that take the drops, donald trump's mine goes to one person first and is not melania. it's mike pence. he knows it mike pence drops off the ticket, that he's done. mike pence is his salvation at this point back. you have millions of christian conservative voters who are not sure they can pull the lever for trump, and mike pence's giving them the reassurance that they need. donald trump has gotten very close with mike pence and with his wife care. they have very different relationship than to donald and melania trump. [laughing] goes without saying. mike pence as you may have heard does not go out to any functions in washington wizards alcohol present unless his wife is with you. mike pence when he was in congress never let fema staffers to work past 6 p.m. in his office because he did not

donald trump told us the truth. when he was running for office he said he knows how this government is operated. donald trump is doing just what the democrats and republicans have been doing for years. donald trump is a man that does .ot back down. however, donald trump is showing the world our strong points and our weaknesses. people said he is a traitor. but the democrats and republicans seems to me he won the race war. donald trump is showing what is wrong, whether you are a democrat or republican, however you want to flip the coin. nobody is trying to correct things. and donald trump is being treated just like barack was and that's good for donald trump, because what the republicans did to barack everybody now is doing to donald trump. most of the republican politicians want to see donald trump fail. they want to see him fail because there will be no one else. host: you are seeing the republican leaders want to see him fail? caller: yeah. how did he defeat 17 people and shut them up and keep their mouths closed

no surprise that after a big public relations mess the person who disagreed with donald trump publicly is out. >> and you also have someone who never really built a rapport with president trump on a personal level and had real policy disagreements. i've been in touch with ambassador bolton all day and with his allies and picture painted by him and people in his inner circle, it reached a breaking point, culmination of frustrations with the president's position not only on afghanistan but on north korea, his approach to foreign policy in general and the taliban meeting, the proposal to come at camp david, it really broke with the mainstream hawkish view of ambassador bolton. in a conversation monday in the oval office, it came to a head and he offered his resignation and the president didn't really say i want you to say, to the ambassador spent monday night thinking it through and ultimately submitted his resignation on tuesday. >> frank figliuzzi, i had a conversation with a former intelligence official who said only donald trump could make you miss john bolton's presence. talk about -

heather: nancy pelosi caving to impeachment demands from members of her party despite donald trump announcingete release of documents relating to the whistleblower report later today. what exactly is in impeachment every? vice president of the national lawyers association and cochairwoman for trump harmeet dhillon joins us with more. thank you for joining us in what is going to be a long and busy day. i want to start with this question. lots of folks are asking it, myself included, why the rush? why did nancy pelosi come out necessary, change her modus operandi, she said she was against impeachment and now all of a sudden she is and that is without seeing any of the evidence, without seeing the transcript of the phone call, without anything from the whistleblower. why the rush yesterday and why not just wait for some evidence if there is any? >> excellent question. i feel i have whiplash almost because nancy pelosi has been the voice of reason among the democrats for three solid years and all of a sudden she changed her tune. the reasons i can think of politically include that several of the

here was donald trump's restriction. "i would like you to find out what happened with this whole situation with ukraine." trump then suggests that ukraine has information that could discredit robert mueller's investigation, and this phone call is taking place the day after robert mueller testified to the house of representatives. donald trump says, "i would like to have the attorney general call you or your people and i would like you to get to the bottom of it." as you saw yesterday, that whole nonsense ended with a very poor performance by a man named robert mueller, an incompetent performance, but they say a lot of it started with ukraine. whatever you can do, it's very important that you do it if that's possible." president zelenskiy then eagerly says, "i guarantee as the president of ukraine that all of the investigations will be done openly and candidly. that i can assure you." abc news is reporting tonight valenc zelenskiy knew president trump was going to ask about joe biden. he does appear ready for that. and it

what donald trump does is create his own reality. anthony scaramucci, before he broke with president trump said he creates his reality distortion field around him. he bends reality to suit his own need, his own desires, his own points of view. if other people say alabama is not in the storm range and he said it is, it's going to be in the storm range as long as he has anything to say about it. you played several examples where he's not willing to listen to other people's analysis, other people's facts, other people's information because he's already decided in his own mind what he wants the story to be. and it's impervious to the sort of outside opinions. very rarely do you see him ever back off. i was stunned about a week or so ago, the only time i could remember in recent months that where the president actually backed off, he said melania trump knew kim jong-un well and thought highly of him. the white house was forced to put out a statement saying actually she hasn't met him. but he felt she knew him. that was his statement. and t

donald trump might never give another state of union address because in january, donald trump is now tonight more likely by that time to be in the middle of a trial in the united states senate. and the speaker of the house is not going to invite an impeached president to deliver a state of the union address in the house of representatives in the middle of his impeachment trial in the senate. donald trump is going to be impeached by the house of representatives on at least one article of impeachment because, as of tonight, everything in the whistle-blower's report has so far proved to be true and more is proving to be true each day, including the most damning aspects of that whistle-blower's report. but the smoking gun evidence that will force the impeachment of donald trump are the words that donald trump spoke in the white house record of his conversation with the president of ukraine and nothing is going to change those words, nothing is going to make those words any better. and so for the majority of the members of the house of representatives who have said those words are worthy

this instance it was donald trump who approached ukraine. e russia investigation examined a lot of contacts 150 contacts mostly among aides and advisers with the russians. in this instance what is public facing is trump and rudy giuliani driving a ukrainian oppo operation in the russia investigation the mueller report sites donald trump jr.'s ignorance of the laws and accepting foreign aid. post mueller, the whole country is educated in the illegality of election interference. the russia investigation he was a candidate. now with ukraine trump is the american president has the -- of the presidency. in the question from the russia probe, as annie karni just said about a quid pro quo with military aid. >> we've seen this movie before. trump tried to bully the ukrainians into messing with our democracy. he tried to get a foreign national to help him when election to the oval office. he's on notice that that's illegal. it's a violation of federal campaign laws to solicit a thing of value including opposition research from a foreign national. muel

host: do think donald trump will win again in wisconsin? caller: standard. host: same question to you, do you think president trump wins wisconsin again in 2020? guest: thomas is probably not a fan of mine anymore, but can i point out that i was on the air here in wisconsin for more than 20 years and i did support scott walker and i would've supported marco rubio. i helped ted cruz when the primary. that some point you have to have some principles and standards, and i have been unwilling to surrender all of those to support donald trump. so will he win in wisconsin? the caveat was i did not think he would win in 2016, but i that wisconsin will be the battleground state. i think it is a microcosm of the rest of the country. and the vote is divided into urban, rural, and a suburban. there are democratic strongholds, hard-core republican strongholds. donald trump won in wisconsin because he flipped the northern rural parts of the state. many counties that voted for barack obama twice voted for donald trump. the question is, will democrats turn out in big numbers

is calling it a ridiculous netflix deal but will donald trump's called to investigate former president obama's good with the studio backfire? are panel debates after the break. >> mike: a president trump suggesting today that instead of in >> donald trump suggested instead of investigating him house judiciary committee which is building a case for impeachment against donald trump should be investigating former president obama's book and netflix deal. let's untangle this with founder of catalina magazine and rnc committeewoman army dylan, great to have you. is the ten donald trump offering a suggestion to democrat let house judiciary committee, look at the obama book deal, the ridiculous netflix deal, then look at all the deals made by dems in congress, congressional slush fund and the ig report, take a look at them, those investigations would be over fast. your thoughts? >> it is so odd. i hope he is kidding. the point is the american people do not want investigations, that the entire point the republicans made with mueller, that it costs so many taxpayer dollars, so much money to do i

they know it doesn't just start and stop with donald trump. president trump has created a culture from the top down that allows a sort of chaotic amoral behavior, unethical behavior, that others around him reflect in many different ways and all the folks that you just mentioned would like toyly have critical information to share and wouldn't do it otherwise at the direction of the president, himself, unless forced to because of an impeachment inquiry. things have moved really quickly. i was told from someone who talked with nancy pelosi last night that she is still saying i hate this politically, but it is inevitable and we have to move forward. and i think what is interesting for the democrats at this moment, to speak to nancy pelosi's concerns politically is that those democrats, those house democrats who wrote the op-ped last night all have a national security background. this gives the democrats an opportunity to paint a bigger picture, idea, of what the democratic party is. these national security-minded democrats and leaders for their cou

and donald trump knows that.his is a hit job on the son, the last surviving son, his brother passed away. this is the last son. part of the reason why joe biden didn't run for president in 2016, because he wanted to take care after his family after he lost beau. this is an achilles hill of joe biden psychically. and donald trump is like where can i go to get the oppo to get at this guy's heart. >> because i have no conscience, i have no morals and i don't care about using the united states government and possibly foreign aid to carry out my campaign. >> correct. and if that's ukraine or if that's utah, donald trump is going to go wherever he needs to go and do whatever he needs to do, no matter how unethical, immoral, or illegal it is. that's what this story is about more than anything. >> what did you want to say about quid pro quo? >> is that i never liked to try to second guess or get under the skin of the reporting of excellent journalists like those at the "wall street journal" and those in other places. the

is this is a political play that they are making hoping that it will negatively impact not just donald trump but republicans down ballot in 2020 and recent polling shows that there's a lot of people that are pleased with president trump and once again i just don't know unless that i'm not the biggest fan the guy i'll probably vote for him in 2026 i see no other options but i voted for i wrote an evan mcclellan in 2016 and. you know it was disappointing withdrawn from the very beginning of his campaign so i'm not like. i'm not going to be a trump apologist here today but i really do think that this is a stretch for democrats and they the transcript doesn't show anything that says hey this is a quid pro quo thing i think if you read the transcript and you have the donald trump voice in your head you're like yeah this sounds like something he would do this isn't a surprise to me because he you know talks about dumb stuff all the time and makes promises all the time and attacks people all the time and ask for favors all the time yeah it sounds like donald trump impeach him right but i mean i gue

donald trump loses to mayor pete buttigieg should he be the nominee by four points. the head to head polls we are reflecting with the latest presidential approval number reveals that trump's squandered summer has taken a toll. he slumped six points and he's back in the 30s nearing his lowest approval rating ever. "the washington post" notes, quote, president trump trails potentialal democratic challenges. with approval ratings as low as trump's are today. that is where we start with some of our favorite reporters and friends. with us from "the new york times" white house correspondent amy kearney. nbc news correspondent heidi przybyla. msnbc correspondent garrett haake. and at the table charlie sykes, editor in chief of the conservative news and opinion website the bulwark. and eddie glaude. let me start with you. there are presidential tells. one of them is sort of his inability to restrain himself. it's almost one of those obliterated norms that we are so used to, it barely registers. i don't have any recollection of any past president using this anniversary and sor

mitt romney is not currently running against donald trump. he's in the republican senate. he did say, in fairness of the full context, if trump asked or pressured ukraine's president to investigate his political rival either directly or through rudy, it would be troubling in the extreme, critical for the facts to come out. is that enough? >> no. for a minute, it shows a little bit more spine than we're used to seeing, but the reality is of course the president admitted he did it. he admitted he had the conversation. he admitted he brought up the biden thing so we're kind of passed where mitt is. he's kind of getting in two, three, four days ago. we're at a point where a lot of facts are now on the record, and the question is what are we going to do about them. >> based on what is known, is your working theory that russia and ukraine are the only companies donald trump has enlisted for help. >> no, i don't think that would be our theory at all. the reality is when i talk to intelligence officials, for example, senior intelligence officials who say, who do you expect to inter

what does the 6 it mean for foreign-policy hotspots donald trump will still have to deal with. >> donald trump's path negotiating with iran is free and clear. mike pompeo trotted out a familiar refrain. >> the president made very clear, no preconditions. >> bolton may have left the building but some of his policy blueprints will remain in full effect. >> the maximum pressure campaign, we've done more sanctions on iran than anybody and it is absolutely working. >> reporter: the senior administration official tells fox news as the remaining troops in afghanistan the president, bolton long defendant is still laser focused on his promise to wind down the 18 year engagement. >> many thanks. the central intelligence agency issue a rebuke to cnn saying it's report about the removal of a spy from russia because of the president's handling of classified information is just wrong and potentially put lives in danger. trace gallagher on the case tonight. >> it was jim chino who first reported on the efforts to extract the top cia informant from russia and pointed the finger directly at donald trump

let me show you the attacks on donald trump. ere weren't as many as i thought there might be, but there were some that seemed to break through. >> trump thinks that trade policy is a tweet at 3:00 in the morning. >> donald trump in office on trade policy, you know, he reminds me of that guy in the wizard of oz when you pull back the curtain it's a really small dude. >> this is a president that has a better relationship with dictators like dutarte and putin than he does with merkel and macron. >> he said he'd like to see me making a deal with xi jinping. i'd like to see him make a deal with xi jinping. [ laughter ] i'm going to say to immigrants come to america. >> there is enormous opportunities once we get rid of donald trump. >> on january 20th, 2021, at 12:01 p.m., we are going to have a democratic president, a democratic house, and a democratic senate. [ applause ] there will be life after donald trump. >> i plan on focusing on our common issues, our common hopes and desires, and in that way unifying our country, winning this

it will not be donald trump or the absence of donald trump. >> follow up on the press?>> the president is an employee of all of us and there is a room in the white house which used to be used for press briefings but the current president decided to cancel press briefings because apparently according to the new press secretary he was annoyed at some of the questions. as president both of you commit to using our collective press briefing room in the white house? >> yes and attending the white house correspondents dinner. thank you. >> he is a child. if you say something nice about him he likes you and if you don't he doesn't. i am pretty outspoken. i love the. i believe in total transparency and i will invite the media into the white house all the time. >> thank you, we appreciate it, we in the media. this will be the last question of the evening and we will go to closing statements. you both have made very impassioned compelling arguments why this country should effectively elect donald trump and nominate and elect you but you have a problem. in a recent speech donald tr

. >> donald trump is serious, permanent, nuclear programming. permanent monetary of iranian nuclear facility. >> your reaction? >> let's look at where we are, mike pompeo went to saudi arabia and uae. iran committed an unprecedented attack against their neighbor saudi arabia. important to note secretary pompeo is right. many people in the news media and obama administration officials, people who should've known better, who believe the claim of abca12s were lying, they were responsible for the effect. anyone can figure out on their own it would have been impossible for the abca12s to do so. mike pompeo pointed this out right away. many critics rushed to believe the iranian's as opposed to a us secretary of state and former intelligence official in the iranian's have painted themselves into a corner with this unprecedented attack on their neighbor and how they've done it is we saw something very significant today, what we call the e3, uk, germany and france put out a statement that they believe iran is responsible for this attack in saudi arabia a

sure that donald trump is held accountable. thats what we have to do. >> we made a promise to talk to you about guns, which is something we think is important to talk about, this breaking news came out. so i'm 23469ing you again to have a conversation meaningful and close to you about guns in this country. beto o'rourke is a 2020 presidential candidate and former congressman from texas. diagnose deadline white house" begins right now. >> it's 4:00 in -- with you blew up our show to bring you some breaking news. i'm here with john holland, tim wilson f. brian, and ashley parker also is standing by. >>> rudy giuliani, president's sidesick, president's personal criminal lawyer in the mueller investigation, seems to be the person pushing donald trump in front of the moving training for moving -- has today been subpoenaed. i'll read what was just handed to me -- congressmen ship, engleman and cummings subpoena rudy giuliani. the document deadlines is october 15th. they are seeking documents, noticing deposition with his three of rud

and donald trump is so obsessive.f he has a theme and he wants to get to the bottom of it, and this seemingly was a pretty strong summer obsession. i had blown it off as just, oh, they've given rudy -- >> crazy rudy. >> some whacky mission in ukraine. but actually probably giuliani was the only person who took donald trump seriously at all. so you've got -- it's like the pizza gate of foreign policy. it's not even to the watergate level. that's what a republican operative i was texting with today said this isn't watergate, it's pizza gate because it's so stupid and conspiratorial. you get that the two men, they are just so delusional about what actually would defeat joe biden in 2020. >> i mean, the conduct is watergate-like. and i think someone said to me today remember what the russians look for. they don't need you to pick up the phone and call them. we don't know that trump didn't. but they are looking for signaling. what trump has signaled by releasing this call is to the russian bots and troll farms. and i think

positions that he had taken that seemed to go against what donald trump was doing but donald trump liked him because he appeared on t.v. he appeared on fox news he spoke about donald trump's foreign policy he spoke about donald trump in glowing terms but in the end we're led to believe that donald trump didn't like the statements he was making on iran and afghanistan and venezuela and he didn't like his t.v. appearances and that is why in the end that was never going to work but with hindsight it's obviously not really with hindsight at the time people asked how long was this going to last and if someone had said john bolton will be national security adviser for 18 months i think a lot of people would be surprised that you actually lasted that long whole fascinating developments are they and we'll talk to you about it again in the news hour and fishes at the white house for us so the developments that we've had in fact this was just 15 minutes or so ago steve miniature u.s. treasury secretary at the podium there at the white house to his left camera left mike pompei o the u.s. secretary

anytime we are talking about donald trump donald trump is winning. he explained it is all democrats care about is impeaching the president, he will be reelected in 2020. don't nominate elizabeth warren if you want our support. that is the warning from wall street mega donors. it comes as we hear reports that joe biden could release the progressive wealth tax plan. tracy carrasco here with reaction. >> reporter: some democratic donors on wall street threatening to vote for donald trump or sid out of the 2020 election cycle if the party nominates elizabeth warren. anonymous executive at one of the nation's largest banks telling cnbc they will not support her. it would be like shutting down their industry. the massachusetts senator has been railing against wall street since the beginning of her campaign. >> anyone who wants to run for office has to start by sucking up to a bunch of rich donors on wall street. i'm opting out of that rule. i am not taking a dime of pack money in this campaign. i want to government that doesn't work for giant wealthy natio

donald trump didn't take these folks seriously. the one person he feared was ted cruz. he started to worry about his constituents back home. trump could bring a nuclear weapon. there was nothing cruz could do but he wasn't going to go further with and i think identifying that weakness in the party was his greatest asset as he began his takeover of the gop. >> one of the things that stuck out to me in the book you spend timspenttime with paul ryan, jor in prefigured the last ten yea years. they misunderstood the tea party movement. this wasn't about fiscal conservatives or the animating feature and i thought one thing that was telling you talk to newt gingrich who is as keen an observer as anyone about how to sort of pleased and satisfied the republican primary voter. what did he learn in 2012 do you remember that? >> he tried just about everything to get the media's attention and gain traction in the polls. you may recall this was a long time ago in these political years he had done poorly in iowa and new hampshire and he was hanging by a thread. there were two debates b

it is still about donald trump's weird relationship to russia, no? >> exactly. a. mike and i wrote a book about this. but if you look at the conversation that came out this week with zelensky, people focus on the biden aspect of this, give me dirt on joe biden. but the first thing he asked zelensky about, very first thing, was there is this crazy right wing conspiracy theory that is deep in the sub, sub, sub basement in the world of paranoiranoid conservatives. and that is that the server wasn't really hacked by the russians and for some reason the dnc gave the server to ukraine somehow to an oligarch there to hide it from the fbi. it is complete lir nuts. but it is all about dismissing the russia investigation. and why ask trump want to do that? because he knows that he is guilty. we saw it happen with manafort and even the latest "washington post" story about him telling the russians in the oval office that he didn't care about russia. he doesn't want any of that stuff to come out. so giuliani's job was not just to get dirt on by devon, but to dismiss the whole

look, there will come a time when donald trump is not around. there will be a post-trump era and those that kept their heads and maintained a sense of integrity i think are going to be better off for it. wisconsin has got a very strong congressional delegation. most of them have been, i would say, supportive of the president's conservative policies, but they have been willing to criticize the president on occasion and i don't think there's anything wrong with that. >> what do you think about that term, never-trumper. ? >> i'm sorry? >> what do you think about the term never-trumper? >> oh, i don't have a problem with it. i mean, i think i probably called myself that at a certain point and the reality is that i am never going to vote for donald trump. i am never going to think that donald trump is fit to be the president of the united states. i may support some of the things that he does in terms of his policies, but i do think that this country is greater and better and more decent than to deserve donald trump as the president of the united state

donald trump could become just the third american president to be impeached. pelosi today, after meeting with members of the democratic caucus, took to the speaker's balcony and she said the president, in her view, had broken the law and betrayed the oath of office. this, to do with a telephone conversation that the president had with the president of the ukraine in which it's alleged he basically used the withholding of aid money to ukraine as leverage to get the ukrainians to reinstate some sort of corruption probe into the activities of mr trump's rival, democratic rival, joe biden. nancy pelosi said no—one is above the law. she, of course, had been opposed to impeachment proceedings. the concern being that they could back via and basically shore up donald trump's base, if you like. now she feels there is nothing to be lost, not least because so many of her members in the house are in favour in fact, mariko. david, past us presidents have been hit by big scandals but of course, no—one has been removed from the office. what does the process even look like? w
