garrett, set the stage there. do we expect the house speaker to talk about -- i assume he'll talk in some form about what happened in helsinki. do we expect he'll have anything to say in terms of action? >> reporter: yeah, he won't be able to avoid it. it is the question on the minds of all the reporters in the room. it is something ryan addressed yesterday in a paper statement. he said the president needs to understand that russia is not our ally and there can be no moral equivalence between what the united states does and what russia did in terms of meddling in the united states election. the question is, again, as you point out, what, if anything, a republican-controlled congress is willing to do about it. yesterday afternoon, chuck schumer, the democratic leader on the senate side, laid out options. he said congress could try to impose tougher sanctions. they could call the president's advisers before congress to ask them what happened in the bilat and how things in the press conference were allowed to go the

nbc's peter alexander is at the white house and msnbc's garrett haake is on capitol hill. peter, the meeting with republicans, correct me if i'm wrong, is now supposed to be about taxes. i imagine at the top he's going to respond to reporters at the very least. or maybe talk with something on his own about that meeting yesterday. >> that's exactly right. sarah sanders tells us the president will begin that meeting. it's supposed to focus on taxes. now he's going to speaking at the start specifically about the helsinki summit he just returned from. it's the first time really we'll be able to press him for more i guess separate from his conversation with sean hannity immediately after his comments yesterday. here's part of what the president said as he appeared to be in effect in denial about all the frustration, the blame being directed, his attention from lawmakers by both sides of the aisle. this morning, he tweeted, while i had a great meeting with nato, raising vast amounts of money, had an even better meeting with vladimir putin of russia. sadly, it is not being report

i appreciate your time, garrett. do you make of the fact that these negotiations are still going on? obviously rudy giuliani's the one who appears to be leaking it or certainly talking about it. >> yeah. >> this interview that never seems to happen is still on the table. >> yeah, and i think that that in some ways is just the most significant piece of news out of this. i mean, regardless of what the specific details of the deal or the offer or the counteroffer are at this point, the dee that t -- idea that the negotiations are still ongoing, they're not, you know, dead on the operating table yet is significant, because i think that that shows that mueller is still going to keep pressing on this and that the president hasn't totally closed the door on this. i mean, this is now, you know, i've lost track at this point, probably an eight, nine-month process. >> yeah. >> but it looked like this was pretty dead up until basically this new news breaking. >> right. i mean, you know, and it comes, garrett, as paul manafort m

garrett? >> after spending the day out there covering these protests in d.c., it is worth noting that a lot of the groups that are behind today's marches are the same ones that have been involved in organizing other protests against president trump and his policies. what was interesting though with this issue of immigration, and the separation of children from their parents, is one that also fired up some folks who haven't taken part in previous protests. we saw a lot of parents who came out with their children today to join thousands of other protesters here in d.c., and a lot of the protesters were very familiar with the ins and outs of immigration, with what they want to see changed, such as reunifying children and parents, demanding an end to the detention of families who are caught crossing the border illegally and abolishing i.c.e., but for a lot of other folks today's protest was just as much about the president's rhetoric on immigration as it was about his policies. >> we owe at least

garrett, good evening. is president trump still expected to reach a decision by tonight? reporter:mike, certainly possible he could reach a decision tonight. this is a huge decision, he is giving himself a bit of wiggle room on the deadline. when he was departing from bet minister new jersey, he will know who he is going to select either by tonight or noon tomorrow. >> i'm getting very close to making a final decision, and i believe this person will do a great job. but i'm very close to making a decision. have not made it official yet, obviously. have not made it final. but very close to making a decision. let's say it's the four people. they're excellent, everyone. you can't go wrong but i'm getting very close to making a final decision. reporter: the president indicated he plans to share the decision with the country tomorrow night tweeting looking forward to announcing my final decision on the united states supreme court justice at 9:00 p.m. eastern tomorrow night at the white house. an exceptional person will be chosen. the president spent the weekend with advisers di

steps in the process, hey, garrett?b and garrett, good -- car, good morning to you. the process is have kavanaugh confirmed before next supreme court term begins. he served in george w. bush white house for 5 years including as white house attorney and spent the past 12 years in powerful dc circuit court of appeals. last night president trump says the resume and strong reputation played a big role in this election. >> judge kavanaugh has impeccable credentials, unsurpassed qualifications and a proven commitment to equal justice under the law. throughout legal circles he is considered a judge's judge, universally regarded as one of the finest and sharpest legal minds of our time. very that extensive background provides a a lot of material for democrats and opposition group to use against judge kavanaugh in confirmation hearings, he's expected to face sufficient questions such as boshes, immigration as well as executive authority. last night, we got a preview of how he plans to approach those issues as well as the confirm

garrett tenney in our d.c. bureau has more on all of this. garrett? reporter: jon, congressional investigators want to know how many informants the fbi used when they were hired and how much they were paid. house republicans threatened to hold deputy attorney general rod rosenstein in contempt for allegedly failing to provide them with all of the documents and witness interviews they requested. members of the house intelligence committee are asking president trump to declassify portions of the fbi's request to surveil former trump campaign adviser carter page. last week the fbi released 400 pages of heavily redacted documents related to warrant applications showing the bureau relied heavily on the trump dossier to justify request, despite it being unverified piece of democratic opposition research. chairman devin nunes claims the 20 pages he wants declassified showed additional wrongdoing by the fbi and justice department, and on sunday morning futures, nunes accused the agencies of intentionally slow walking in hopes that the democrats retake the hou

julie: garrett tenney has more from washington tonight. hi, garrett. >> hey, julie. there is a lot for conservatives to like with these final few candidates. president trump says he's narrowed his list down to two or three finalists. as we reported sources familiar with the vetting process tell us the top three candidates are currently brett kavanaugh, amy barrett and raymond kethledge. a little about each of them. kavanaugh has been a reliable conservative on the u.s. court of appeals in d.c., dozens of administrative decisions of the obama white house. some conservatives are concerned about the 53-year-old's ruling in 2015 on obama care which upheld the affordable care act on technicalities. among trump supporters there's also concern kavanaugh is too much of a d.c. insider given he served five years in the george w. bush white house. amy barrett has drawn praise from conservatives in being outspoken in her religious beliefs. devout catholic mother of 7 and just last year democratic senators went after her during her confirmation hearings for the 7th circuit court

joining me, katy tur, hans nichols of the white house and on capitol hill garrett hank. the president also said that he misspoke, katy tur. he said, when he said i see no reason why it would be russia, he said he meant wouldn't be. i want to play this back. let's listen to what the president actually said yesterday that basically turned the world upside down and then what he said about it. listen. >> all i can do is ask the question. my people came to me. dan coats came to me and some others and they said they think it's russia. i have president putin, he just said it's not russia. i will say this, i don't see any reason why it would be. i said the word would instead of wouldn't. the sentence should have been and i thought i would be maybe a little bit unclear on the transcript or unclear on the actual video, the sentence should have been i don't see any reason why it wouldn't be russia, sort of a double negative. so you can put that in and i think that probably clarifies things pretty good by itself. >> well, that sorts the whole thing out. thanks for watching msnbc. wh

garrett, what are they saying about this latest denial from the white house?at those interviews, they were conducted throughout the course of the day as the white house story seemed to weave back and forth about how much the president was willing to say whether he did or did not believe with russian interference. you can see how much the bar has been lowered here. folks who were willing to accept the president was willing to make this one small grammatical change from would to would not, see, that's what he meant, can we move on. that sentiment was universal throughout the course of the day. this is not something republicans want to be talking about. they want to be focused on their economic agenda and other things particularly ahead of the midterms. but you did see this degree of frustration and, frankly, especially from some of these senators who are not running for re-election, disbelief at the white house's attempt at gas lighting about what the president said or meant. here was jeff flake late this afternoon. >> i saw it. it sure looked like he was say no

. >> for more reaction from lawmakers on capitol hill, we find our garrett haake. garrett, i want to know what the feeling was when donald trump talked about election meddling and essentially dismissed the findings of his own intelligence appointees, including those of the director of national intelligence, dan coats, who's not part of the media, he's not part of the democratic establishment, he's not part of the deep state, he's president trump's own reliable appointee. >> reporter: not only dan coats but he dismissed the findings of both the senate and house intelligence committees, all of whom have agreed on the central fact that it was russia who medaled in our elections. the house and senate panels have disagreed on what russia's motivation was, but if you want to put john mccain and maybe that eric swalwell comment on one end of the spectrum on the most forceful condemnation of the president so far today after that press conference, even at the other end of the spectrum you're hearing one basic statement of fact. russia interfered in our elections and russia

let's start with where garrett left off. the president's quote, unquote, walk back, the last 48 hours broadly. former c irkia director john brn called the president ee's performance in helsinki treasoniotreaso treasono treasonous. what do you think? >> that's going too far. it was by no means a positive event in terms of the image of the united states. you don't want to have any kind of equivalence between what the russians do and what the united states does. at this point, i think we have to move beyond the rhetoric and into the question of, what are we doing to protect our core values and to advance them? >> some of your colleagues in the bush era have talked about this. some of the aides mentioned their comments. michael hayden, sarah fagen, andy card, not happy. there are calls from democrats for some administration officials to resign. if president bush said something like this while you were working with him, would you have resigned? >> it is very hard for me to imagine that happening, so it kind of goes beyond my abil

msnbc's garrett haake is on the hill trying to chase this down. garrett, this is important because it is relevant for americans to know and when donald trump tells everybody this is a witch hunt, this went far and wide. it went to state electoral boards and right into congressional races. tell us about this and tell us how we think -- what the outcome of this was. >> reporter: first it's important to point out that the universe of possible people who this possible candidate could be is enormous. it could be someone who was eliminated in a primary, it could be a democrat or republican. we've been focusing on republicans given obviously it was only democratic e-mails that were ever leaked and it could have been a candidate to the house or the senate. now, mueller and all the great reporters working on this story over the last few months have left us bread crumbs to follow. we know that there were bloggers in places like new hampshire and florida who corresponded with the guccifer 2.0 personality and released some of that information and we know othe
