since the age of 13, ellie simmonds has been britain's golden girl in the pool.ng, i hated everything about it. a five—time paralympic champion, ellie had become a household name and she decided to take some time out of the limelight. ijust needed that time just to get away and refocus and realise what i wanted to do. so i decided just to take a year out and just go travelling. my love for swimming, i found my love back. i think in my year off, i think it really gave me a perspective of what the sport is for me, and it's my life. ellie is now training here at the london aquatic centre, where she has many fond memories from racing to gold in front of 17,000 people in london 2012. she's also back with her old coach billy pye, who was with her at the very start, over ten years ago. if ellie would have finished in rio, and that was a possibility, yeah, it would have... ..not a sour taste, i suppose, but i suppose sort of unfinished business. now we've got an opportunity and a chance to finish that. hopefully then we will finish in tokyo, because i'm getting a bit too

he was very quick to quote judge ellis when he got to the nra.s all happened early this morning. i wanted to go back to you jennifer, on the legality of it. it doesn't seem like they've all practiced it. giuliani overnight to nbc news described his conversation with donald trump about the cohen reimbursements, i don't know why he's talking about this stuff to the news media, in an interview with nbc news giuliani insisted he only shared the details to daniels -- of the payment to daniels with trump about a week ago. i don't think the president realized he paid him back for that specific thing until we his legal team made him aware of the paperwork. he said the president responded oh, my goodness that's what it was for. >> "oh my goodness" doesn't sound like the president to me. maybe rudy is paraphrasing. >> why are we hearing these conversations? >> nowadays lawyers play multiple roles. they're often pr people, spokespeople, the rest of it. just because you're sharing a conversation with your client doesn't mean you're waiving privilege for all

what do you make of what judge ellis is saying?uld be hard to think anything you wouldn't say about donald trump wouldn't be reverberated around the world. >> they do sometimes do that, judges. i've been in courtrooms where the judge has complained about policy of the u.s. attorney's office, i'm seeing too many cases like this, it's often judges who used to be in the office so they're picking at the policies of their old place of employment. in this case it's surprising that the judge wouldn't understand the play this was going to get and how it was going to be used. i think he said it with a purpose, probably. >> enough of a purpose if you were one of those lawyers, usa versus manmanafort, would that scare you? >> i don't think that's he's go dismiss the case. the motion is a jurisdictional motion. i think he made those comments understanding that they were going to be heard and they would be used for some reason. >> so judge ellis is -- he turns 78 in a couple weeks. he's been on senior status for more than 10 years. he bale reti

then ellis continued -- >> sean: this goes back to 2005. the judge also quoted -- >> sean: now ellis finished his epic beat-down by saying saying -- >> sean: this dressing down wasn't the only legal set-back for team mueller. on saturday yet another federal judge denied the special counsel's request for a delay in its case against russian election stroll farms. and meanwhile, a series of new polls are showing mueller's witch hunt is becoming more and more unpopular, with you, the american people. all while president trump's poll numbers climb to his highest levels ever. late friday we learned a former member of mueller's team of investigators, there she is. f.b.i. love bird lisa page resigned in disgrace months after her viciously anti-trump text revealed extreme bias at some of the highest levels of the f.b.i. and page wasn't alone in resigning. another prominent deep state f.b.i. official, long-time comey ally james a. baker. he also resigned late on friday. so is the deep state now starting to crack? look, we are learning even more posit

we are thrilled that ellis and the other propertyities can get these improvemented through rad. this leveraged 2.2 million in financing and 750 million in hard construction improvements did require the brilliance, dedication and support from an incredible team beginning with mayor lee and including the mayor's office of community housing and development, commune housing partners, bank of america, hud, our commissioners, we have commissioner wa keep tories. thank you so much for making life better for our public housing resident. a special thank you to the 666 ellis resident who is had faith in the process and were able to endure the relocation they had to go through and living in a construction zone. at last you have decent and safe housing where you can live in your communities and also benefit from community-based management and connection to service. we are really pleased that this has been able to make life better for all of you. thank you. >> so as we said bank of america has been instrumental in all of the rad con versions and also for community housing partnerships so whe

there was an ellis act eviction in 2002. i didn't know about her story, which is -- anyway, so the point just being that i want to make sure that is known. furthermore that them being turned into tic's also means the loss of affordable housing and i want to be sure that is being counted in terms of housing balance and housing inventory. tics for a long time were not recorded as being tic. you have to search and see that there were six different deeds that happened within a four year period and then your best geez is that they are indeed tics and i wanted to make note of that and you know that and that it is indeed recorded here today. >> president hillis: thank you. any additional public comment on this item? seeing none we will move to commissioner's comments and question. >> we had this come up before where the application didn't indicate there was an eviction. in this case it seems it did do that. >> our new processes seem that we include that eviction history which i believe is included in the staff report here. that did

why wouldn't ellis dismiss this indictment?> they won't air it with us either over at the white house counsel's office. the judge has every right to see it. this was not statutory authority. a u.s. attorney like i was has the statutory authority. you have got to get it from rosenstein. and the judge has the right to determine. they went beyond that. even if rosenstein attempted to give it to them. he has a right to determine that by government misconduct they have changed this case. and i believe in my heart that the supreme court will decide that. i think judge ellis probably is tough enough and strong enough to decide that himself. you have got victoria toensing, she'll take you through the presidential immunity better than i can. judge jeanine: she certainly knows her stuff. congressman ron desantis still on deck. but first i want to get more to the heart of the legal issues surrounding the mueller investigation and the president. as the mayor said, victoria toensing standing by with information you need to hear.

ellis. we discuss the vicious mueller witch hunt with former federal prosecutor andrew mccarthy. also, a republican lawmaker introducing a resolution demanding that mueller produce evidence of collusion with the russians or end the two-year special counsel investigation of president trump ended in 30 days. his put up or shut up resolution comes as the nation wearies at the waste of tens of millions of dollars and the production everything no useful evidence. president trump's america first economic policies continue to pay off. wages, the economy growing and the unemployment rate fell to the lowest level since 2000. the unemployment rate down to 3.9%. a federal judge blasting special counsel mueller's team during a hearing for ex-trump campaign chairman paul manafort. judge ts ellis suggests the special counsel attorneys lied about the scope of their investigation and are seeking what the judge called unfettered power. judge ellis declared the mueller attorneys seem more interested in bringing down the president. the judge scolded a member of mueller's team saying i don't see wha

alan dershowitz said that about district court judge ellis, t.s. ellis, iii in fact.his is what he said it was an excellent week for th- there it is. it was an excellent week for the constitution and for all americans because a federal judge made it clear that no one, not even the special counsel is above the law and beyond scrutiny by our system of checks and balances. i happen to think that dershowitz has that exact by right. we have yet to see how judge ellis will rule but he certainly gave the justice department special counsel a real reason, one would think, to assess whether or not they have abused power and to what extent. >> well, lou, you and i, as rationale beings, if we got lectured by a judge like that, we would probably reassess our actions and make course corrections. i don't think that's going to go on in the mueller investigation. i think that they -- they know already that they're beyond their scope. they know already they're abusing power. and this is the type of corruption that has got to go -- this is wide spread in the federal judiciary where they

hopefully, it is a great question that judge ellis posed. who is in charge much overseeing rosenstein and mueller. it is these judges. they are going to lay down the law and hopefully let the special counsel exceed any of their privileges beyond the russia scope. >> sean: unbelievable. and we have a lot-ground to cover. and coming up. ed henry is here with more details on the federal judge that is exposing mueller's mission to takedown president trump and we'll speak to a former campaign aide who had to sell his home to pay for legal fees because of this witch hunt. special edition of hannity continues. you won't see these folks at the post office they have businesses to run they have passions to pursue how do they avoid trips to the post office? stamps.com mail letters ship packages all the amazing services of the post office right on your computer get a 4 week trial plus $100 in extras including postage and a digital scale go to stamps.com/tv and never go to the post office again i'm all-business when i, andtravel... to even when i travel.

and paralympic champion ellie simmonds says she's refreshed and ready to get back in the pool, afterlling out of love with swimming... ijust i just hated swimming, ijust hated swimming, i hated everything about it, but after my euros, a really gave me perspective of what the sport is for me and it's my life. hello and welcome to sportsday, i'm hugh ferris. good evening. thanks forjoining us on sportsday. the cameron norrie story isn't over yet at the french open. the british number three held off the fading light and the french 15th seed lucas pouille to take his second round match into tomorrow at roland garros. i've been speaking to our tennis correspondent russell fuller, who watched norrie live to fight another day. precisely, and he managed to extend the match into a second day and fourth set by winning the third set by seven games to five, at 9a2 in the evening here in paris, and in very poor light indeed, any show the character of the emerging british player. he was outplayed by the 15th seed, and the first set. he was better in the second set, but based the defeat, and broken

ellis retorted, "i'll be the judge of that." and then he added, "we don't want anyone in this country with unfettered power. it's unlikely you're going to persuade me the special prosecutor has the power to do anything he or she wants. the american people feel pretty strongly that no one has unfettered power. a delighted federal trump broke news in dallas this afternoon. >> a highly respected judge in virginia made statements. it says, "judge questions mueller's authority to prosecute manafort." judge t.s. ellis, who is really something very special, i hear from many standpoints, suggested the charges before the u.s. district court for the eastern district of virginia was just part of the mueller team's design to pressure mr. manafort to give up information on president trump. i've been saying that for a long time. it's a witch-hunt. >> well, let's review these developments with house intel committee with nunez. we have a lot to talk about with him. it's good to see you. t.s. ellis i know very well. he is a senior judge in the e

and i think this is a really great question that judge ellis posed. who's in charge of overseeing rosenstein and mueller? it's going to be these judges. these judges are going to lay down the law and not hopefully let this special counsel exceed any of their privileges beyond the russia scope. >> unbelievable. we've got a lot more ground to cover. coming up on this busy news night, more details on the federal judge exposing mueller's mission to take down president trump. and we will speak to a former trump campaign aide who literally had to sell his home to pay for legal fees to combat this witchhunt. let's see why people everywhere are upgrading their water filter to zerowater. start with water that has a lot of dissolved solids. pour it through brita's two-stage filter. dissolved solids remain? what if we filter it over and over? (sighing) oh dear. thank goodness zerowater's five-stage filter gets to all zeroes the first time. so, maybe it's time to upgrade. get more out of your water. get zerowater. if you have moderate to severe plaque psoriasis,f

and judge ellis used the harsh language, but there are a couple of important points here. number one, judge ellis, himself, said from the bench, i am not saying that what you are doing here is illegitimate, and it may be entirely proper, but he was characterizing what he thought that the prosecutors were trying to do. number two, it should shock no one that a prosecutor would try to lean on a potential target through a witness in a fashion like this. and thir ly, the d.c. judge, an remember, there are charges pending gaiagainst paul manaforn the eastern district of virginia where judge ellis sits and the district of columbia, and the same issue was raised in connection with the prosecution of manafort in the district of columbia. the judge there, in fact, he was skeptical not of mr. mueller and his team, but rather of mr. manafort and his lawyers. now, to just summarize the legal issue here, the question of whether this is outside of the scope, bob mueller's mandate here is in three parts. one, any coordination between russia, and the trump campaign, and two, any issues th

we have yet to see how judge ellis will rule.ertainly gave the justice department special counsel, a reason to assess whether or not they have abused power and to what extent. >> lou, if we were rsessioned by the judge like that, we would reassess. but i don't think that will go on in the mueller investigation. they know they are beyond their cope and abusing the power. this is widespread in the federal judiciary where they are abusing their power and now you have the highest law enforcement and special counsel abusing their power and thank goodness for a judge saying, you are out of line and you are an embarrassment. i am not sure the mueller team will get that. they are partisan hack and looking for an outcome that shouldn't happen because there is no evidence to support the outcome and the judge called them on that. >> lou: they are working to subvert the president of the united states. up next, president trump's approval numbers keep rising and he keeps yet another campaign promise. promise. more on the man: i got scar tissue

ellis told prosecutors that what you're really after. ellis said this is really intended to get manafort to quote, "sing" or become a cooperating witness. the government arguing the special counsel's mandate includes looking at manafort's financial work overseas. several hours later the president gave his verdict praising that judge. >> judge t.s. ellis who is something very special i hear. >> reporter: the president quoting from the judge's statements in court. >> "how does this have anything to do with the campaign" the judge asks. let me tell you folks we're all fighting battles. but i love fighting these battles. it's really a disgrace. >> pierre thomas with us live tonight. the judge did not rule on whether manafort's case will move forward. despite what he said in court, judges often do this. they don't let you know. it could still go either way. >> that's right, david. sources tell us the judge's challenges are not often a sign how he rules. >> pierre thomas, thank you. >>> we have breaking news. word of an earthquake, another one

the judge's is ts ellis. you don't care about mr. manafort's break fraught or what the government does. all you careabout is the information that mr. manafort can give you that reflects on mr. trump and leads to his prosecution or whatever. ellis continues, that has nothing to do with the russian government or individuals associated with the campaign of donald trump. and so i don't see what relation the indictment has with anything the special prosecutor is authorized to investigate. the judge quoted that it looks to me instead. what is happening the investigation was under way and had special prosecutor got dictmentes and then time honored practice which i'm fully familiar with. if you get them in a conspiracy and then you tighten the screws and they provide information on what you are really interested in. ellis finished the epic beat down by saying, what we don't want in the country we don't want anyone with unfettered power. and on saturday, another federal judge denied the special counsel's request for the delay in the russian e
