and eliana johnson, white house correspondent for politico.er, inside the west wing tonight, how are they interpreting this letter from the attorney general? do they fee like they're in the clear legally but still have some exposure politically? >> definite political exposure, because we don't know what's in this 400-page report. all we know are two sentences, or fragments of two sentencesat bill barr quoted previously, which is he did not establish a criminal conspiracy with russia and he did not charge that the president committed a crime of obstruction, even though he's not exonerating him. we don't know anything else. obviousy the rest of t report is going to have things in it the president is not going to like. what he's trying to do before then is cement in the impression that he's completely exonerated. it's almost as if he was on law and order, and he's saying, look, they gothe wrong guy. the d.n.a. tests came back and its not me. what mueller is saying is, i don't have enough to charge crime, but we'll see what else he found. >> inter

we had to cha the subject. >> i keep coming back, eliana, to your reporting and the why?of, and when you look at someone like mick mulvaney, a rushed vote, a name most americans don't know but he runs the office of management and budget as the acting director, even though presidentrump says he's a populist, an everyman, a businessman, inside ofs t administration, so many conservative ideologues. >> yeah. and mulvaney is case in point of that. really an ideological conservative and the firstgi ideol conservative to be chief of staff. john kelly was a military. m reince priebus was really an established political operative. but this is really the first window into how mulvaney is wielding his power. john kelly really tried to restrict access to the obviously office. mulvaney came in and said, i'm not going to do that. but what he has done is brought in a lot of ideological -- he's given those people who he's brought in access to the president and those were the people who carried the day in these argumentsbout whether to pursue this path on obamacare. >> if that'she case, d

i think eliana's point is so smart. not going to end his career doing something that is going to be a black mark on a longstanding time in washington here. i think that's the dynamic. we'll see how long the president remains so happy about release the whole report. that's what he says publically. we'll see. he's going to get anti si wondering what's in it. >> there's gamesmanship going on in terms of redactions. >>> coming up, on the cusp of a 2020 decision, deem biden responds to a disturbing new allegation. before we go to break, surprise visit from two presidential candidate, senators cory booker and kamala harris appearing on stage together on the naacp awards with this message to black voters. >> all the issues that kamala and i discuss with americans every day from economic justice to gun violence to climate change to voting rights are on the line right now. >> it is time for us to lead the fights ahead, and that's why we all need to stay active and engaged. we need to register to vote. we need to get out and vote

. >> eliana?white house communications director, resigned this week, taking an advisory role on the trump campaign. he was the fifth person to hold the title of white house communication director, probably the second-most unpleasant or difficult job in washington after white house chief of staff. so i'll be watching whether the white house looks to fill that job or just leaves it open and acknowledges, you know, on the record this is a job that the president is doing himself. i think that will be interesting, particularly going into the campaign, and as the campaign that is stats up a pretty robust communication shop. >> i'm going to circle back to where we began the hour to what some nervous democrats say needs to be a reset. the tension between the new activist progressive members and moderate and very real. both john boehner and paul ryan left 9 speakership beyond frustrated they could not achieve goals. pelosi's team were trying to adjust. there were urgent appeals to keep family feuds private

you laid out in september the budget is coming, the debt is coming, and eliana makes a good point. the president in a private meeting made clear, i didn't know that number existed and i want $5 billion and stalled at his staff a little bit in front of a couple lawmakers. is this setting up a clear fight that doesn't necessarily have an end game given the stakes we're facing in september? >> i think that's right. inc. the president kno-- i thin the president needs to show his base something he has not accomplished. this is the central piece of his campaign. he needs to show them he's doing something. he doesn't know, the congress doesn't know, the democrats know they're not giving him anything for this. in his budget document, the president campaigned on a limited national debt. that is such an insane proposal, to eliminate $20 billion -- $20 trillion national debt and climbing. this is nothing to even get rid of the annual deficit. he said he would get rid of the annual deficit over the next eight years. it creates a lot of aspirational goals but probably is something he's not goin

eliana johnson and burgess everett report it didn't have to be that way. republicans say especially in trump had engaged more consistently with senators and made a relatively modest agreement to change the national emergencies act to rein in presidential power. one republican senator who voted against the president gave this quote to politico. "trump quite possibly could have gotten 50 senators voting no," said republican senator mike lee, who led the failed effort to get trump to agree to changes to the national emergencies act. here's how politico describes the self-proclaimed dealmaker donald trump's efforts to sway republican senators. quote, trump made little effort to whip wavering gop senators during a hearing wednesday afternoon on trade and said they could vote however they pleased. by wednesday evening, however, he had grown disturbed by the brewing condemnation from his own party. on thursday morning, white house aides began blasting a trump tweet to gop senators by text message to remind them of how the president viewed the impending vote. quot
