who can tell i mean you know just because the police were watching the embassy the ecuadorians apparently watching embassy. and i didn't comment of what was particular profile at the time when he was alleged going to meet julian assange which we just don't know. what we do know though is that julian has been under huge amounts of pressure huge amounts of threat he's been effectively isolated over the last almost a year now which is effectively solitary confinement and you know inhumane and the u.n. rules a couple of years ago that the way the brits had been dealing with him in isolation in this busy in stopping his free access to open air and all the rest of it isn't even conduct two so i think the british government has quite a lot to answer around how they've. conducted insults around someone who's been granted political asylum which is not an easy thing to get and not easily given by any country and i'm very concerned ecuador now to speak caving to american pressure to rescind what is very important right for anyone who's been persecuted. annie great to speak to you thanks for your tim

now assad ultimately had to give up his cat now essentially joined us he's been in the ecuadorian embassy and he was actually recently declared a citizen a naturalized citizen of ecuador after being in the embassy for five and a half years and it's also been revealed at this point that the u.k. foreign office they've they've revealed that they were approached by ecuador ecuador asked to make julian assange a diplomat the hope was that if he could be made a diplomat of aqua door now that he is an ecuadorian citizen that he could then not be arrested and could have legal immunity when he then tried to leave the country and would not be facing these bail conditions however at this point he was not granted these diplomatic status despite the fact that he's forty seven years old has become a naturalized citizen of ecuador julian assad remains walled up in the ecuadorian embassy and now it is not public information the court proceedings are continuing revealing the question whether or not he is facing any criminal charges in the united states can i thank you for those details that kenneth melso

so here's roger stone telling jerome corsi, get to founder of organization at the ecuadorian embassy in london and get the pending wikileaks e-mails. they'll deal with the foundation, allegedly he's referring to the clinton foundation there. so you can see how badly roger stone allegedly wanted to get his hands on these wikileaks e-mails. and then in august, august 2nd of 2016, this is before any of these john podesta e-mails are public, you get an e-mail from corsi to roger stone saying, "word is a friend in the embassy plans two more dumps, one shortly after i'm back, second in october. impact planned to be very damaging." and this e-mail goes on to suggest that some of this could have to do with podesta. so it shows you that these two guys are going back and forth talking about this at a time where a lot of this stuff isn't public information. now, roger stone insists that he never saw anything before it was published by wikileaks. jerome corsi insists he was not directly in touch with julian assange. but you can see why investigators are looking at these two men and saying, are t

yet no other source can confirm or show substantial evidence of manifolds alleged visit to the ecuadorian embassy guys i mean these are apparently the washington times says paul minor faults passports show he didn't even visit london in those years the guardian claim and r.t. are the only ones asking for evidence who are the sources if you can see them doubt anonymous source and is dangerous at best striking catalogue of reflexive credulous acceptance of a story that looked shaky from the start and looks more so by the day maybe they've all been duped by russia but what does politico think this fake news operation by russian intelligence actually proves someone is nervous and eager to lay the groundwork for yelling fake news out whatever other stories are about to drop so either what the guardian says is true and there is collusion or it's a fake story planted by the russians which also proves collusion win win situation one thing seems clear someone is feeling the heat the story's almost a parody and x. cia agent using a pen name says that if the guardianship piece on a sergeant metaphor

what they're saying, what they're alleging here is that paul manafort visited assange in the ecuadorian embassy three times in 2014, 2015, and 2016, that being the most interesting date potentially to investigators that is when manafort was taking on a senior role in the campaign just before the convention. and four months before the first trail of stolen e-mails came out via wikileaks. just as a reminder to our viewers why does wikileaks matter because it was the view of intelligence that wikileaks was the middleman. the russians stole, hacked the e-mails, gave it to wikileaks, and wikileaks released those to the world. so, the idea of the senior trump official meeting with the wikileaks founder in the ecuadorian embassy comes to why did he go to and what was he told in that meeting? keep in mind, lots going on in the special counsel's investigation. you have intense interest in roger stone. why roger stone, a trump adviser, connection to the president here because he had and even claimed at times having knowledge of those releases. tweeting it's about to come out. and he since said it

it's being claimed that quite recently a songe had experienced an attempted break in inside the ecuadorian embassy here in london just behind me where of course he has been holed up now for over six years and according to these reports that cite his team what allegedly happened was songe had experienced an attempted intruder trying to break through one of the windows in front of the building and what stopped that intruder allegedly or at least made a songe aware of him was a booby trap that set up using a fire hydrant and now any more details or information about what happened next who this person might have been or any details on this really continue to remain a mystery so that's all that we know so for now we have contacted the metropolitan police to see if they had anything to say on this and they said they have no reports of such an attempt to break in and we also tried to speak to officials inside this embassy they told us over the phone that the ambassador is not currently in place so they're not charged with the authority to make comments on this matter but supporters of julian a so

the guardian" exclusive that alleges paul manafort held secret talks with julian assange in the ecuadorian embassy in london. according to the publication, sources have said manafort went to see assange in 2013, again in 2015, and then in the spring of 2016. during the period when he was made a key figure in trump's push for the white house. this follows the bombshell news that the cooperation agreement between manafort and the special counsel has collapsed in spectacular fashion. robert mueller charges that the former trump campaign chair has breached his plea agreement by repeatedly lying to investigators. the stunning reversal comes with potentially devastating consequences for both manafort and mueller. for the special counsel, the more than two-year-old probe has now lost a key cooperating witness, and any information manafort provided is tainted. prosecuted can't credibly call someone to testify who they've labeled a liar, after all. for manafort, mueller's filing means more prison time and possibly even more charges. in his plea, he promised to tell the government everything the spe

will you from the podium call on the ecuadorian government to confirm whether or not some sort of meeting may have taken place between paul manafort and just at its embassy? >> we encourage the process to continue to play out but i'm not going to get engaged in specifics of that case. >> reporter: president trump has implied that a potential new deal with mexico is a done deal, tweeting that migrants will stay in mexico as they wait for their cases of asylum to be processed. how far along are talks with the new mexican administration about the so-called remain in mexico polic policy? >> those conversations continue. we don't have a final decision until a new government actually takes over, which will happen on saturday. and on monday we expect the new foreign minister from mexico to meet and sit down with white house administration officials and the department of homeland security, secretary nielsen, and finalize those conversations. >> reporter: tomorrow secretaries pompeo and mattis will brief the full senate on the murder. why is a leader of a u.s. intelligence agency not joining them,

"the guardian" is alleging manafort held secret talks with julian assange in the ecuadorian embassy. nbc news has not confirmed that, and wikileaks and manafort are vehemently denying. i if it is true it's significant evidence of collusion, more on that ahead. but there was yet another big development today as the pieces tart to fall into place. this one involving former trump campaign adviser roger stone who appeared to have advance knowledge that wikileaks would release the clinton campaign e-mails that were stolen by the russian government. stone and wikileaks communicated, at least in part, through jerome corsi, now going public. he maintained that he didn't have any inside information at all. he says he simply used his superior powers of deduction to figure out exactly what the russians and wikileaks had planned, he just guessed and told roger stone his guesses and happened to get everything exactly right. if true -- >> i said i bet, what assange has left, is podesta's e-mails and it was speculation, deduction. i just happened to be right. i believe these podesta e-mails would d

is the potential connection of joule yaj assange, and the trump campaign, and he is still in the ecuadorian em bas si in london and now he is back in focus because of a court document filed in washington, and what d can you tell us about that? >> well, there is a lot of secret information that prosecutors know about that we don't know, and in this case, it came into glimpse by mistake, because a prosecutor in the eastern district of virginia was filing a document in unrelated case and motion to seal a case, and he appears to have cut and pasted from a secret julian assange file, and he lefts a saung -- assange'ses name in the public court document, and it says that he has been charged privately, and it does not prove it, because it could have been a draft cdocument, but either way charging or just contemplating a series of charges is a milestone, because they have been investigating julian assange and wikileaks for years, but now he is figuring prominently in the russian investigation, and whether or not these charges are related to the russian investigation would be significant if he was c

have you spoken to him inside the ecuadorian embassy right now?> i have not yet been able to speak them personally. i am going into the embassy shortly to discuss it with him. of course we are concerned. there have been rumors over the past two weeks about what might happen. we musust remember this didiscle ofe from the district virginia. this is a criminal investigation started in 2010 in relation to disclosures made by wikileaks and "the new york times" and other major newspapers around the world which revealed evidence of u.s. war crimes, evidence the united states had not been honest with the american public about how many civilians have been killed and the iraq and afghanistan wars. these are important public interest disclosures. and that a publisher could face accusations is a a concern not just for us and julian assange, which is what we will be discussing l later today, but also a concern for all of the press come all of ththe domestic press in the u.s., but also what it says about what the united states is doing in terms of exercising ju

who can we think about who has been in an ecuadorian embassy for quite some time? this is not a coincidence. this is a case that's being built. >> and when you're a prosecutor and you have a case where there are people who are known liars, like jerome corsi, who's behind many political smears, swift vote veterans for truth, lying about obama's birth certificate, et cetera, et cetera, roger stone, who takes flights of fancy himself, how do you assess who's telling the truth or whether either should be relied upon in a court of law? >> what you try to do is corroborate all the facts. you're going to go out and look for phone records or e-mails like you just read or other witnesses who you do trust. and you try to corroborate as much as you can, knowing that those two gentlemen, as you just said, are people who the government would be very, very distrust -- like, saying that they would be distrustful of them is an understatement. >> they're both known as liars. but corsi is providing documents, as you point out, and that seems significant. >> it is. because, of course

anybody who went in or out of the ecuadorian embassy you will know.there will be remarkable twists and turns to corsi and manafort over the past few days. bottom line is it looks pretty solid the russian attempt to meddle in the election has come to american shores. it seems there is strong reason to believe that among these 3, they knew what was happening and did they speak to the president? we don't know but this seemed explosive. the guardian walked it back slightly. it is puzzling because it is so straightforward to prove it or not. the fact that manafort denies it doesn't count as much. he is a pretty dishonest fellow. shannon: he was unequivocal in his denial. we will see how that plays out. the new york times report tonight that mueller's legal team has been talking with manafort, and the does that strike you as unusual? >> i would not go so far as to say it is illegal, nothing in this saga has gone according to script. manafort retains residual loyalty to the president and the legal advisers are interested in the questions mueller is asking ma

then, on july 25, stone sent corsi an email that read, "get to assange at ecuadorian embassy in london pending wikileaks emails." you don't put that in an email, you dummy! you got to use code names. what do you think, "mr. bond, you are now a secret agent. your code name is double-o james bond secret agent." then eight days-- james bond fans. ( applause ) then eight days-- eight days-- eight days after the first email, corsi wrote back to stone, "word is friend in embassy plans two more dumps, one shortly after i'm back, second in october. impact planned to be very damaging." ( laughter ) not as damaging as this email will be later to me, jerome corsi, but still... prettywing yesterday-- just yesterday. the same interview or a different interview. a different interview with "the washington post? trump had a wide-ranging interview with "the washington post" yesterday. and in it, he complained at length about federal reserve chairman jerome powell, and explained that he knows better than powell. (as trump): "i'm not happy with the fed. they're making a mistake, because i have a gut, and

i think there's a reason why he stayed in the ecuadorian embassy in london for so long. >> why do youto jail? >> because what he has done, the description of him is correct and one we had of him at all-time. that's how we viewed him and worked against him. i know this implicates first amendment protections. is he or he is not a newsman? when i look at a newsman, i look at somebody like you and i expect you to curate information and portray information in a logical sequence and i expect you to put information into context. that's what a newsman does. this man publishes the theft of government secrets and charges wholesale. >> mueller said of wikileaks, the conspirators, in this case, russian intelligence obtained information and he's talking about wikileaks, and we don't know if that's what julian asaupb assange is being charged with or has been charged with, but in that case he would be charged with russian belgians. >> this could have deep legs, all right, to go way back. it also could be something more recent simply because of the role within the russian investigation. just think no

he is holed up in the ecuadorian embassy. they keep logs. story explains it away saying that he failed to sign in. that is ludicrous. you should demand evidence before falling for a story. all of the stories are used to prove a cloud of suspicion. it's not russia meddled in election. they did. they have done it for decades. that is what they are known for. but the notion is trump is ahe traitor who colluded withot russia to steal hillary clinton's election.. that is the claim put out ino the media and the one they have to prove. to say they haven't come close to making that, proving s that claim is an understatement. >> tucker: the problem is that sometime very soon this is going to culminate in a report from the special counsel's office. we are going to have to chew over a lot of different allegations. and the people presenting the allegations to us have no credibility left.ga so where does it leave thet. country? >> this is the problem. you would assume at this point if people were trying to push the theory they'd understand there is a pro

the ecuadorian embassy in london is one of the most surveilled and secured buildings in the world. i know. i went there. i interviewed julian assange in january of 2017. visitors are monitored, photographed, videotaped by multiple governments. now, "the guardian" is being accused of quietly stealth editing the story. the paper altered their own headlines adding words sources say. they didn't have that in beginning and they softened key elements of the language hours after receiving the backlash. she jump on anything and everything russia except for hillary's phoney dossier. president trump had sharp words for robert mueller. the phoney witch hunt continues but mueller and his gang of angry democrats are only looking at one side, not the other. wait until it comes out how horribly and viciously they are treating people, lying for them refusing to lie. mueller is a conflicted prosecutor gone rogue. trump continued, the fake news media builds bob mueller up as a saint when in actuality, he is the exact opposite. he is doing tremendous damage to our criminal justice system where he is

manafort, the president's one-time campaign chairman held secret talks with julian assange at the ecuadorian embassy. >> i have no idea if that report is true or not but it wouldn't surprise me. >> manafort now accused of lying, potentially wasting his only shot at getting out of jail. >> after citing the plea agreement, he committed federal crimes by lying to the fbi and the special counsel's office on a variety of subject matters. >> the worst thing you can do when you're facing a serious felony charge i think is refuse to cooperate and then agreeing to cooperate and then lying because you're going to get caught, you're going to face all the punishment and then some. >> when paul manafort pleaded guilty, he agreed to cooperate fully with the mueller investigation, knowing if he broke this deal, he could face at least a decade in prison. >> real danger is what is in trump's interest is deeply dangerous for the country. >> we win tomorrow, 53-47, and nobody can believe it. she's smart, she's tough and she loves you. >> lies, damn lies. and plea agreements. that was the scene of the special c
