josh mankiewicz: but who? the detective hope russell douglas' widow, brenna douglas, might shed some light on that. but that night, when he told her the father of her two children had been murdered, the detective says he got a strange feeling. i never try to judge how people are going to react when i tell them things. but her response wasn't what i expected. as in not emotional enough? she wasn't shocked, at least not visually shocked. it was a bit matter of fact. and that did leave us, at least, wondering when we walked out of the house, yes. josh mankiewicz: and so brenna douglas, as the wives of murdered men often do, became a person of interest. the domestic situation seemed unsettled. they were separated. russell was living in an apartment in renton. according to brenna, they were trying to work it out-- talking about getting back together. josh mankiewicz: in fact, the new widow told the detective that her husband had spent the holidays with her and the kids. she said the last time she saw him was the mo

seoul where he's covering the story hi josh so sixty five years after the end of the korean war these remains are now being returned to the u.s. so is this then a direct result of the summit in singapore between u.s. president trump and kim jong un. it is the return of u.s. soldiers remains was one of four kind of specific bullet points to two leaders agreed on and of those look that's perhaps the most specific and so it's something that the white house definitely was hoping to show some progress on and it's something that north korea is able to do while not touching perhaps some of the more sensitive issues like its nuclear weapons program and so this is a key area that those charged with looking to make progress on to show that they are trying to work together and president trump is hailed this move as a great moment how significant is this. it definitely helps him fend off something of a narrative that's been emerging of a lack of progress in the wake of that june summit as you mentioned this is quite an accomplishment something that comes after years of deadlock the last time some

let's welcome in josh rogin. the contributor to "the washington post." let's talk about "the sun" newspaper where he blasts theresa may and talking about her rival boris johnson. what is the relationship with the united states and uk? >> imagine for a second if the roles were reversed. theresa may came to washington and before meeting with president trump, blasted all of his policies and said i bet that joe biden would be a great president. what would donald trump have done? he would have flimd opped out. it would have ruined the meeting. theresa may has to grin and take it and pretend everything is okay because she is so weak in her position and so caught between her need to show a strong leadership with the united states and the political realization in london that donald trump is so toxic as that last report just showed. she is caught. he has put her in the terrible position. that is a terrible effect on what they can possibly do together. when you get into the idea of brexit, it is something president trump believes in and talked about. it is part of

but if he can identify the other witnesses, i think josh pointed this out. it means that there's a really credible case. and to some extent viewing this as a trial lawyer juries really can make logical conclusions. and the evidence at this point is now getting very compelling that there was a clear willingness to accept help from the russians to win the election, to collude with them as the public is calling it, or to enter into a conspiracy with them, which is what the crime is. and i think it really has gone to the stage where we're really getting somewhere now and we could have a very significant case. >> emily, the counselor is right. last night watching rudolph giuliani on cnn, it was straight up character assassination. calling a person who was up until recently the personal trusted lawyer of the man who became president a pathological liar. if you believe the theory that the leaks have come from the trump camp, that would hold this is some of the worst, most damaging stuff cohen has to tell the feds. but your reporting tonight is that cohen is sitting

it's great to have josh groban there. out there and he's going to perform off his new album. >> i also learned he liked swedish fish. that's my josh groban trivia for you this morning. >>> we're also gearing up for the fourth of july holiday. 40 million americans expected to hit the road. we're going to show you the right way to pack your car, the smart way to stack those suitcases and finally fit everything inside. >> always a fun moment with the father manically trying to pack up that car. >>> we have a lot of news including my exclusive interview with president trump's longtime lawyer michael cohen. remember, he was the president's personal attorney, political fixer for an awful long time, worked on stormy daniels and the trump tower in moscow, sat down for a 45-minute interview on saturday. he's always prided himself on loyalty to president trump, said he would take a bullet for president trump, not right now, not this time. i pressed him repeatedly on whether he would cooperate with prosecutors even if it put preside

josh patterson takes it all in.cg: josh patterson 16-23(josh patterson / farmertheir job is to make useef and going to market so we can eat them eventually that's the midwestern life of a cow.) on the east coast...at least at one farm... the life of a cow is taking a much different turn. (josh patterson / farmeri don't even know what to think right now.)(a.j. lanier / farmerinsanity!) call it what you want... but "cow cuddling" is a thing. a quick google search shows it's gaining in popularity. one farm is cashing in on it -- charging between 75 and 125 dollars per cuddling session. (a.j. lanier / farmeri'm in the wrong business)(josh patterson / farmeri'm like i could make some money. i will let people hug my cows.) but will any of these cows let you? patterson says it's a good idea to stay clear from the "loners" like this one (josh patterson / farmeryou can't just take any old cow and start petting her, she has a bad attitude she will eat your lunch.) speaking of lunch,(a.j. lanier / farmer hey! that's my feed bucke

>> no, not necessarily, josh what i want to see is the business itself. right?l-ups that are basically, they give scale in businesses where you can actually cut the overhead, right? and just add the operating profits to the business. there are others where the rollouts are done for accounting reasons, and ppm industry, they're done for accounting reasons, done specifically so that you can actually capitalize the up front salaries and then make the business look more profitable, because i used an analogy in the other room of josh and steve's burger chain. okay you have one burger -- >> opening this fall. >> okay. and say it's not profitable. just a single shack. and the two of you pull 50 grand, working six day as week, 16 hours a day i come in, play private equity manager with you i'm going to buy your burger stand for $100 grand sign you guys, run it for me five years and in exchange for cutting your salary to $50,000 from $100,000 combined i'll pay you $500,000 for that contract. i'm going to pay you $600,000, you're going to take a $50,000 cut over five years

but it would appear as if it's not really all that awkward, josh. the senate, as you know, just passed a motion that will give congress oversight -- more of an oversight role for tariffs for national security reasons. this is a conversation you and i had last week. the reality is that congress is essentially trying to claw back power. the framers, the founders, they gave congress the power to heavy taxes, to 'em pose tariffs. how did we get here? how is it that the president of the united states can willy-nilly seemingly impose so many tariffs now? >> over a period of decades, there are laws that give the president power to unilaterally impose tariffs for various reasons. the reason the president leaped is national security. the theory is if we got into a war and needed to build a bunch of tanks, we wouldn't want to be at the mercy of other countries to import steel to make the tanks. there are a number of problems with that theory right now. the main one of which our main treaty partner in steel is canada. if we're at a war with canada, we'll have

joining me now is former fbi supervisory special agent josh campbell. gloria, have you ever seen anything like this before? did you see this hearing other than a partisan shouting match? >> no, it was a partisan shouting match. i think i'd have to go back to the benghazi hearing where hillary clinton testified for 11 hours in 2015. i think, you know, you could compare it to that. but the bottom line here is that nobody, none of the republicans were able to prove in any way, shape or form that peter struck influenced the fbi in anyway to go easy on hillary clinton and go hard on donald trump. they didn't even get there. i mean, he gave it to them when they tried to say to him, you know, this is a false investigation, and he took great umbrage at it. obviously he has done the fbi a lot of damage in the public eye, and that's why he was taken off the mueller investigation. but if the object of this was to prove that the russia investigation is false because it started in a wrong way and should never have begun, i do not think the republicans achieved their

josh sims, parent: "it was the toughest thing that my wife and i have ever seen." they say the scabs on both of the faces don't show the real trauma.josh and caitlin sims, parents: "pushing her thumb into his neck, ripped him backwards and pulled him over backwards, to the extent that he buckled." butted joel and stacey dant, parents: "if i would have done that to another person i would be in jail...for assault."the dants and the sims' say they started getting different stories from the school about what happened and what could br done. stacey dant, parent: " no one apologized."buttedjosh and caitlin sims, parents: "frankly we expected the school to advocate a little bit more for us and department with us. and to be honest." online records showed the school is under probation, but don't show any injuries or complaints for the past three years.child protective services told the sims' it could be a few more weeks before a report is ready.today they contacted parker police on their own. josh and caitlin sims, parents: "how many incidents have happened? parents need to

josh, let me start with you. i have an idea for them, the u.s. and the e.u.ariffs and barriers and subsidies, that'll be called free market and fair trade. hope they'll do it, we are ready but they won't. how significant is today's meeting and what are the chance that the president's tweet becomes a reality? >> we are not going to have a complete dropping of trade barriers between the u.s. and the e.u. the president likes to point out that we have a much lower tariffs on cars on europe than europe on cars to the u.s. they charge 10%. the u.s. have 25% tariffs on light trucks imported to europe and suvs. that's a factor that helps u.s. automakers than the truck space globally and even foreign automakers have been better at making sedans. you wanted to say europe has the high tariffs and get rid of that. then europe will come back and would like the truck tariffs taken out. there is a reason that presidents were committed to free trade much more than trump were not able to reach the completion barriers between the u.s. and the e.u. this is an offer that the pre
