kristen press with the early go. crystal dunn was a rocking defense. rose lavell was immense midfield. then alex morgan on her birthday creating headlines not only with her goal, her sixth of the tournament, but also her celebration. she's not given anything away about what she meant by sipping her tea. she left us guessing, was it a dig at a very english tradition, was it a reference to the boston tea party and july 4th week? regardless, it was a 30th birthday for her to remember. >> to say it's the best birthday

mimi rocah and abby livingston and kristen welker. joining me now, democrat from a state of illinois and a member of the house intelligence committee. he'll be in a position to ask robert mueller those questions on wednesday. congressman wednesday. the intelligence committee is meeting with mueller on wednesday. two separate committees, but total of five hours. we know you heard it. we heard it. the president spoke for 30 minutes trying very hard to discredit robert mueller. what was your take on the president's comments? i think first of all, i don't believe that the president's not going to watch any of the testimony or tweet during the five hours of testimony. i think it is mueller time. it is bob mueller's chance to talk about the report. i doubt very few viewers read the report. it is very long and dense. i think a lot of them will consume the report through his live testimony. a lot more people watched "godfather" the movie than read the book. >> here is the thing. you don't know what robert mueller is going to do. is there a ri

>> so what'd kristen get for her birthday? >> i said can we release them today? do it. it was a public forum. they said yes. look out what else happened in our comic-con lounge. she's 62 and still kicking butt, linda hamhamilton. >> it was funny you came in here and you said you did not feel like a badass until this movie, why is that? >> i don't feel like i really earned the title for myself until this film where, like, i woke up one day and i was like, i'm getting through this, we are doing this. i am doing this 27 years later, i am a badass. >> i'll be back! >> did anybody go to the wedding? >> you mean chris pratt's? >> father of the bride. let's remember father of the bride. don't disrespect him like that. >> no. >> no. >> we just made a pact. it's all or none of us that comes. >> we're so -- we're a family. >> we're a team. >> and she's back. jamie lee curtis set to shake up her movie franchise. >> could there be more. >> never say never. >> curtis announced today even more horror tweeting it's not over until the fat lady since. promising not one but two se

as kristen welker reports, he's accused of giving a completely wrong account of the story by someone who should know. vice president mike pence pressed on whether alex acosta still has the confidence of the trump administration. >> remember our cabinet serves at the pleasure of the president. >>> it comes just hours after acosta defended a plea deal he helped broker for jeffrey epstein back in 2008 while serving as a federal u.s. attorney in florida. acosta insisting epstein. >> on simply put, the palm beach district attorney's office was really to let him walk free. >> but barry krisher, writing in part -- if mr. acosta was truly concerned with the state's case and felt he had to rescue the matter, he would have moved forward with the 53-page indictment his own office added, adding he a should not be allowed to rewrite history. >> but acosta argued giving the evidence at the time, going to court would have been a roll of the dice. the agreement allowed epstein to avoid federal prosecution, in exchange to pleading guilty to state charges. epstein was sentenced to 13 months in jail, a

kristen welker, first to you, you're there in detroit. michigan played such a critical role in the victory for donald trump. bnz w hillary clinton lost to donald trump by 10,000 votes. that's how small the margin was. very well chosen location for tonight's debate. who gains the most and risks losing the most tonight in the first round? >> reporter: we'll be watching for a couple of things here in what is a critical state for democrats. you're absolutely right about that. first, the extent to which the candidates who are going to be on stage tonight will be talking about two people who won't be on stage. of course, president trump and the democratic front runner, former vice president joe biden. first on president trump, to what extent are these candidates going to delve into this culture war that president trump has been engaging in, both with this fight with congressman elijah cummings and the attacks against the so-called squad. then are they going to go after joe biden? i've been talking to biden campaign officials who say during the

welker is here kristen, this is a big split among democrats and it didn't change because of yesterday. >> certainly democrats are still very divided about how to move forward. capitol hill sources tell nbc news there's broad agreement the mueller hearings did not deliver the kind of punch they were hoping for it may have blunted momentum, but there are still democrats who are not ready to give up on impeachment. ultimately it's up to nancy pelosi who had a meeting with democrats last night, made it very clear she's not on board with the idea. president trump believes the hearings were a win for him as democrats, lester, are preparing to file a lawsuit to try to force the president's former white house counsel don mcgahn to testify >>> there were angry confrontations on immigration and trump administration's border policies. jeff bennett has that story. >> reporter: tonight divisions over the migrant crisis. house democrats condemning how the trump administration split migrant families sometimes sending parents back to their home countries without their children >> you were doing depor

nbc's kristen welker at the white house tonight with what the president is saying. >> reporter: tonight less than 48 hours before robert mueller's highly anticipated testimony, the president who said he won't watch now signaling he might tune in. >> mr. president are you worried about wednesday? >> i'm not going to be watching. probably, i might see a little bit of it. i'm not going to be watching mueller because you can't take all those bites out of the apple. we had a total no collusion finding. the democrats were devastated by it they went crazy. they've gone off the deep end. >> reporter: mueller who has insisted he will not say anything that is not already in his report will spend five hours in front of two house committees subpoenaed by democrats who are still divided over impeachment now, some top democrats hope americans will take a second look >> the report presents very substantial evidence that the president is guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors and we have to let mueller present those facts to the american people >> reporter: but tonight the president touting last week's

kristen i know you watched it. i was up watching it as well. unbelievable. header into the corner of the net, 2-1 for the american team in the semifinal was the victory over england in the world kucup. they move on now, just a thrilling game. the brits came back and tied it up. it was called back on a penalty. we stopped a penalty kick. i couldn't breathe for about two hours, kristen. >> oh, i was so nervous at the beginning when they said that megan rapinoe wasn't going to be in the lineup, and we didn't know why for a while. she's been such a rock star in this world cup. it really came down, i mean that keeper had such an incredible game and stopping that penalty late really i think was -- she was the woman of the match by far. >> and you saw alex morgan there sipping a little tea after what ended up being the game winning goal. they move on now. they play sweden or netherlands. that other semifinal is today, and that big final, world cup final with team usa the women's national team is on sunday. congrats to them, can't wait to watch and perfect for the f
