consider it. >> you said you will not cooperate with adam schiff. >> i said i will consider it. >> jeff masonnd then jeff bennett, the two jeffs, let's talk about this. rudy giuliani and his extraordinary role in all of this, jeff mason? >> it certainly is an extraordinary role. i think it's worth underscoring over and over that he is a private attorney for president trump, so everything that he's done in this role has been with that sort of framework. i mean, that interview was fascinating in that it doesn't sound like he's had direction yet from the president on whether or not he should cooperate. i think he said later to george that he does have a client and if his client directs him to cooperate, then he would. i think that exemplifies a little bit of what's going on at the white house now as well. there is a sense of we don't have a full strategy yet and that means maybe some talking points here or there. but in general, they're still working on it. that means they haven't gotten out the strategy to people like lieutenant for the president. >> and up on the hill, jeff depositions. most o

. >>> joining us to discuss this, jeff mason for reuters and cnn political analyst sunman kim. jeff mason, forgive me, if republicans were in charge of the house right now they'd be sky writing impeachment over washington, would they not? you wouldn't have this kind of technical technocratic debate over this. >> there's a bunch of things that if you looked at what would be happening if republicans were in charge and there were a democratic president, things wouldn't be much different but, sure, they probably would. in this case, but, there's clearly a divide between republicans and democrats on what's going on, but what's more interesting is the divide between -- amongst the democrats themselves. i think it's important as we're talking about this to keep in mind that speaker pelosi has not given full throttle voice of support for any sort of impeachment hearing. even though she's saying she supports jerry nadler and -- >> so we're going to fix your mic. someone is interfere with your mic as you made that point. we'll get that fixed. your thoughts? >> semantics or whatnot, it's

i'm joined now by reuters white house correspondent jeff mason. see you. >> you too, mike. mike: president trump told reporters today they are working on it. >> yeah. and -- >> doing a package, and we'll see what it all, how it comes about. it's coming about right now, and a lot of people are talking about it. and that's irrespective of what happened yesterday in texas. mike: is, jeff, what exactly does he have in the works? >> well, the white house officials have been working on some kind of legislation. there have been talks between the white house and members of congress and staffs of members of congress, and they've been signaling that there will be something to show, some kind of legislative action on this in the, in september at some point. i think the shooting yesterday, as you've sort of demonstrated with the tweets from the top democrats in congress, will increase pressure both on the white house and on lawmakers to do. but the question of what exactly that will be is largely unanswered. the president talked again today a little bit about

joining me now, white house reporter and contributor ashley parker and reuters correspondent jeff masonnt has been talking about this wall for a very long time. where are we now with this? >> well, you're absolutely right about that, chris, he has been talking about it for a long time. the clips that you played from his campaign are certainly accurate. that was a promise he made that he has not been able to keep, but he has wanted to show, and it seems like he feels under increasing pressure to show that parts of the wall, pieces of the wall are being built. he talked about that a little bit earlier today in the oval office. and the fact that this funding diversion is now official from the pentagon after the president earlier declared it a national emergency, which sort of unlocked the ability to move those funds, just shows that he is progress be ing on that and trying to do so before the 2020 campaign. >> ashley, your paper found that the diversion could harm projects in puerto rico as well as plans for russia to take military action in europe. he often talks about the wall as a natio

rachel bade, jeff mason, good to have you with us. thank you. >> thank you. >>> new tonight the parents of otto warnbeer sit down for an intimate dinner with president trump. the farmly arrived at the white house a few moments ago. you'll remember their son otto warmbier was jailed for 17 months in north korea and returned home in a coma in 2017 and died days later. since then, the warmbiers have become openly critical of president trump's cozy relationship with north korean dictator kim jong un. back in march after the hanoi summit, the president said he didn't hold kim responsible for otto's death. the warmbiers rejected that in a public statement saying we have been respectful during the summit process. now we must speak out. kim and his evil regime are responsible for the death of our son otto. kim and his evil regime are responsible for unimaginable cruelty and inhumanity. no excuses or lavish praise can change that. president trump confirming today that the son of osama bin laden, hamsa bin laden, has been killed in a u.s. count

i want to bring in reuters white house correspondent jeff mason and nbc news jonathan allen, good toee you both this morning. i want to play part of how the president responded to the odessa shooting. here it is. >> this really hasn't changed anything. we're doing a package and we'll see what it -- how it comes about. it is coming about right now and a lot of people are talking about it and that's irrespective of what happened yesterday in texas. >> jeff, he says they're doing a package. what exactly does that mean? >> well, i think, chris, that means they're working on a legislative package of some kind that will address some of these the shootings in el paso and ohio earlier this summer. it is interesting he said it is not affected by yesterday's events. i think that he means is that this is something that was already ongoing and we anticipate we'll see something once congress is back in session later this month. the white house says it has been working on this with democratic and republican lawmakers and their staffs. clearly the events of yesterday show the mass shootings continu

white house correspondent for reuters jeff mason is joining us.w you're working on a story about trade. what you got? >> reporter: for starters the president and his counterparts in china have been making conciliatory gestures the last few days about trade. the president delaying tariffs that were supposed to go in october until a couple weeks later. my sources are saying don't expect an interim deal, even though the president left the door open to that slightly yesterday when he was speaking to us outside. my sources are saying that's not what they're working on and the two sides are still pretty far apart on the key structural issues that the u.s. wants china to change. >> those talks are still set for next month between top chinese officials and the u.s. negotiators? >> reporter: that's right. and then higher level talks in october. >> jeff mason from reuters. always great to see you. >> than, hallie. >>> to my colleague chris jansing, picking up our coverage on new york on what is a surprisingly busy friday morning. >> i'm not surprised by any

. >> all right, i want to bring in jeff mason, jeff, i want to understand here what did you make of the talk you heard coming out of joe biden. >> he breust bristled at the qu of did he know about his son's dealings abroad. i was interested in how he reacted. he wants to talk more about how president trump has handled this, but questions about the extent to which he was informed or in touch with his son about that period are certainly legitimate ones that reporters should continue to ask. as far as the direction now for president trump and how this candidate will handle it, look, he is calling on the president to release that transcript. something that the house lawmakers want to see as well. they would like to see transparency and what he did say in that call, and he is going, sort of a step further, by also saying if this happens to be true, this is more than anything he has done so far in terms of what i think the vice president is suggesting is contriburrupt. >> and of course people will now start to ask questions that perhaps he did not anticipate. >> surely he did or should have a

joined by righter's white house reporter jeff mason. we are going to have to wait on the results.r class fired intel. it's likely to be redacted. i found it interesting the agencies who investigated the doj and fbi were the ones doing the vetting. >> that's how it works. it has to be turned into them and the attorney general. the inspector general says once they have gone through that process and looked at it, then he will proceed with releasing it publicly and making the final dotting the is and going through what they have to go through before it is released. my suspicion is the fact that he has informed congressional committees about it it's an indication it won't be long. rick: they reviewed a million records, conducted 100 interviews, and focused on the fisa application and three renewals to surveil former trump campaign advisor carter page. christopher steele was hired to compile his report by fusion gps and the democrats. the republicans want to found out if there was abuse here. >> for sure. it's going to be watched closely and studied closely. there are discussions about

joining me now, jeff mason, and matt miller a former chief spokesperson. oil prices skyrocketed after the attack. how worried should people be that grass prices are going to soar? the largest oil reserve comes from saudi arabia. >> they are going to make up for lost production, and the strategic patrol yum will be tapped as well. it is about $60 per barrel as we said. up about 10%. prices will clearly go up by a nominal amount. it's not the type of shock yet though that we have seen, but they will launch military action against iron and this could be a more por tracted event that could drive prices higher still. >> let's day on that. u.s. officials are saying iran, we know it is you. is that premature or are they right to make that assumption? >> i think the assigning of credit, they have a credible problem. there was always going to be a day we would face an international crisis when we needed the world to rely on the president of the united states to tell the truth. in the months leading up to him leading up to the iran deal. he said over an over and ove

karen demirjian, jeff mason, thank you as well. >>> speaker pelosi says bill barr has gone rogue. may he be in any legal peril? >>> plus, now that the investigation lies in the hands of the intel committees, congresswoman jackie speier is joining me to talk about who may be getting subpoenas. this is cnn special live coverage. i've always been fascinated by what's next. and still going for my best, even though i live with a higher risk of stroke due to afib not caused by a heart valve problem. so if there's a better treatment than warfarin... i want that too. eliquis. eliquis is proven to reduce stroke risk better than warfarin. plus has significantly less major bleeding than warfarin. eliquis is fda-approved and has both. what's next? reeling in a nice one. don't stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than u

joining me, jeff mason and steph kite, a reporter for axios.> it's sort of in line with the president and the white house's strategy to push back against things they don't like. there's an effort to discredit at the very gipi inbeginning wh the way, only a week ago the president started by saying, no, this didn't happen and then he said, yes, it did. but there's nothing wrong with it. and then they start attacking the people, in this case the whistle-blower who revealed what had happened in the first place. so, i think it's part of a playbook. the playbook, no doubt, will have to change a little bit because this situation is different from previous crises they have had to face. the fact an impeachment inquiry has started is more than just casting shame or blame on the whistle-blower. that's something we'll see unfold in the coming weeks. >> you're saying the white house is aware of this fact that this is different. what does that say about the tenor of things right now inside the white house this is. >> i'm just saying that is something they ha

. >> let's bring in kim perfectly kimberly atkins and jeff mason.on was going on duringperfectly kimberly atkins and jeff mason. when this investigation was going on during, we were told it would be quick but comprehensive. and we're now seeing reports that the fbi did not follow up on skins dozens of leads. what do you know about this? >> that was a concern expressed by democrats at the time of the hearing that the investigation was not as thorough as it needed to be once these allegations su surfaced. recall brett kavanaugh had to be brought back for a second round of hearing where he testified along with one of the accusers dr. blaz blasey ford. and that is where it centered. and there were other allegations similar to this new one about his behavior at a party in yale that was not -- those were sort of cast aside and not really seen as the central part of this inquiry. so now what we're seeing is this idea -- impeachment is difficult, but the democrats who are pushing for there are basing it on this claim that he lied under oath, that he committ

. >> fake news, jeff mason. you heard the accusation many times. >> i have.ing he did that but the reporting from our colleagues from the post and new york city time social security pretty solid and it would be in line with a friend behind president trump's views when he sees something that could be critical of him. he pushes back. so it would certainly not seem unlikely. >> when you looked at that map, we're showing it now with that bulge on the side, the protrusion, if you will, done in sharpy and not even done very well, from your observation, you have been with him all of the way. you have been to all of these summits with him, you were will him in helsinki and france. so you know, i know you can't do andwriting analysis, but what is your best judgment? >> i can't do it and i don't know, but it does not seem out of the realm that it is something that he would have done or directed an aid to do, he was just doubling down on alabama for days. giving the story legs in a way when it may not have if he just said it turns out that data was older and not relevan

jeff mason, white house correspondent for writers.or at "the federalist" and susan, chief congressional correspondent for the "washington examiner." susan, let's start with you. big deal to shift this money? >> it's really a drop in the bucket when it comes to disaster relief funding. there is several billion dollars in the funds of this is just a tiny amount. fema is also already allocated its supplies to disaster relief centers for the season, so all that is already taken care of. this is going to -- unless, say the hurricane curves in them because of some kind of unimaginable catastrophe that is so far not forecast, there's just really no way that this is going to impact their operations right now. >> i think it's also important that people focus on what's happening at the state level. frequently when you have disasters of this nature, what's happening at the state level has more to do with the success of a group of people making up with the storm. to that end, florida really should be commended -- i know they have a lot of experie

with that i'd like to welcome in my panel for a conversation, with me reuters correspondent jeff masonen dilanian. and msnbc news digital senior white house reporter shannon. great to have all of you. let's kick off this conversation, jeff, with the president today making this full-throated defense of that conversation. you got world leaders coming to new york here in the u.s. some of them already touring the u.s. with the president as we saw in texas. but you've got the u.n. with all these issues. but is the president focused on that or is he really enjoying being in this political fight right now that is consuming washington? >> well, number one, one of the leaders that you mentioned he will be meeting later next week is president zelensky from ukraine. sort of raised our eyebrows when they announced that as one of them. clearly, i don't know if he's enjoying the controversy but he's not shying away from it. and that will certainly be in focus when he meets with him here at the u.n. >> put the timeline for us. did they announce that bilateral meeting before this story broke or after

abigail tracie and jeff mason love talking with you both thank you. >> thank you. >> thanks. >> a newether the president's properties are profiting off his presidency. this in violation of the constitute's emolument claus. >>> a air national guard crew stopped at the resort in scotland during a routine trip from u.s. to kuwait. that part of the house oversight inquiry whether military spending helped keep the scottish resort financially afloat. joining me now missouri representative emmanuel cleaver, a member of the financial services committee. which makes you the perfect person to talk to about this congressman, welcome, sir. i want to look specifically at the numbers. 2017, the resort in scotland lost almost $5 million. moved to 2018 rove knew up $3 million. your colleagues in the house oversight want to know whether that is because military refueling spending increased by $11 million sinsz october 2017. i mean, this appears to be a red flag. what do you make of it? >> well, the -- the president -- and this is tragic, really tragic what the president has decided to make- dsh conver

for more, bring in reuters white house correspondent jeff mason.he new york subpoena for trump taxes. they want their hands on eight years of returns. what else do they hope to get? >> they want to have a look at the tax returns because of allegations that the president had slept with two women which was made a lot, which could have impacted the presidential campaign in 2016, as critics allege, because he then gave them hush money payments. so that's what they're looking into. among many other things that could be found in the president's tax wurn returuns. leader, and once was in charge of a large real estate business and said he would release the tax returns but declined to because saying they were under audit. re continued to fight relessing them and many efforts to get them and it's coming from new york. >> katie, the administration cannot be subject to the criminal law while in office. you're laughing as i say this. >> we know about the memo you cannot indict a u.s. president. that's not the law. a memo providing guidance inner its of federal

. >> joining me now, abby livingston, washington bureau teach for the texas tribune and jeff mason, whiteget into it here. all of you i want some response on this because some debate on whether the president hinted he did, indeed, talk about joe biden and his son in the phone call. what is your read? what is the significance of this? olivia, you first. >> well, the white house's read out from that call did not mention anything about corruption. ukraine's read out from the call did. this is certainly a new development from the president seeming to hint that they did talk about this. he said a number of conflicting things on this. i think it's going to be a pretty long slog trying to get any level of transparency on this. he does not want to release the transcripts even though he acknowledges they have them. >> did you interpret the sound bite to mean he spoke about joe biden's synonym. >> i saw him being defensive about what he discussed in that phone call. also he said it was perfect and it was appropriate and then seeming to be indicating as well there shouldn't be transcripts because th

jeff junior, his second score. game. 17-13. fourth quarter here's quarterback mason rudolph. pittsburgh retakes turn yo turnovers.ttsburgh recovers. and niners get it back. that led to this, jimmie g finds dante pedist eventual game niners 3-0 since 1998. 20-24 winners. >> the game we have not been able to win here. to have two games like that not going perfect says a lot about the character of the guys in there. i think we have done better how we are playing, but it also says just our guys are just mentally a lot stronger. and they were pretty relent less. >> niners going with a by now. it is a long read ahead for the raiders. you know you are in minnesota when you see this guy. vikings quarterback kurt cousins fake right and roll left. all kind of time. 35 yards. 7-0 vikings in a flash. dell vin cook, he had a nice day, 14-0 minnesota. you want a bright spot for the raiders how about tight end? you saw him on hard knocks. 134 yards. 30 right here. raiders set their first score. it is a flee flicker on this play. derrick car get the ball back. 29 score. 21-7. car two scores and a pick. vikings take control. they

mason if nothing else. anyways here's how the democrats counsel pressed lewandowski why he didn't want a paper trail of his meeting with jeff sessions >> having a casual dinner with the attorney general has nothing to do why you wouldn't want a public log of your visit with the attorney general does it >> it does >> you knew what you were doing was wrong, so just as the president wept to an unofficial nongovernment employee, you wanted to make sure there was not a record of it, isn't that right, sir >> no. >> eli stokels, your view about this in terms of news value and it's the fourth quarter of the investigation of the president with the russian and obstruction of justice >> well, the president was initially cheering lewandowski's opening statement and the way he started off this hearing which was obvious to everybody he went in there looking for a fight, performing for the audience of one we always talk about the president praised him for doing that this is a guy trying to run for senate in new hampshire and who during a recess tweeted out a link to his senate campaign committee telling people to follow him making a spect
