actually anti—semitic or not, i think more and more people are seeing here is, like might gates —— mike gates, and other labour mp5. i think the fact that he always qualifies his apologies is a really big deal and i still don't think he personally understands the problems that this has caused. and the strength of feeling. but let us go to the financial times. make sure you are nice and calm. i bank with tsb and fell victim to this it meltdown which happened in may. and it was a nightmare. i could not transfer muqqy nightmare. i could not transfer muggy between accounts, i couldn't pay people or suppliers. at 1.1 had to go into the bank to get muggy out. they changed my address so i went, boyd. the list goes on. now heads rolling. this is bizarre. ultimately the lies with the ceo. in this story, it has basically allowed criminals to take advantage of customers and defraud them. you wonder what it will take for them to get a wonder what it will take for them to geta grip wonder what it will take for them to get a grip on it. but icy they have made losses which is not surprising. one of the reas

gates with the picture of the financial offenses they committed. mikeny that manafort approved every penny and not rick gates. >> from what i have seen, mr. manafort is in bad shape. even without any testimony by mr. gates, the testimony we have seen so far including the bookkeeper is very, very damaging. mike: do you anticipate paul manafort will take the stand? >> again, i'm not his lawyer. but probably not. because that would open up opportunities obviously for the prosecution to cross-examine him. and elicit damaging information. my prediction is he would not testify. >> what do you make of the pace of this trial so far with prosecutors calling dozens of witnesses to the stand since 2ue tuesday. >> it's not called rocket docket for nothing. he's an excellent judge, he's properly sceptical of government's presentation that in many cases has been overwrought. all the testimony about silk suits and ostrich jackets. we understand why they are doing that. but the government has spent a bit too much time doing that. and the judge chastised them. i see thi

mike says. professor gates so has been performing this operation since two thousand and five when patients had to contribute towards the costs. of the chest peroration is a short but complicated one. was to get through three character their own little book figure out their figure didn't want to. rock. trick or works to get it. published that may be the biggest proof of. the metal bars are made of a tough but flexible steel and nickel makes. your more. elated to work with other bridges by rover will give it your how do you reckon it violates . the operation has proved very popular. it didn't make is to serialize. all capacity to stand there you up there was going out all over the you for your retort of when the sun. you look at me nothing was using the pitch from radio. each operation costs about one thousand seven hundred dollars and this is my general fish who look along smoothly now don't long missions march in the next seven years the moment you do anything let's get into this mix with your political amused citizen if you need to. the hospital source is the metal bars carefully. of what's the

the echoes of yourself you that inspire, they devour you in the end, omarosa, mike flynn, rick gates. are these lesser trumps coming back to haunt him? for all of the good gop members who have been family values republicans their whole lives now they're sleeping in the swamp with reprehensible creatures. >> but they're winning. >> right. >> i don't want to give trump too much power. >> i'm going to let you know, he's the president. he has a lot. >> i don't want to give him too much power. what he's done is provided an occasion for people to show who they are. he's not created all of these folks. he's not the cause or the reason why people are indecent. he's just given them occasion to be indecent. greed, greed. selfishness, narcissism. it isn't the sole possession of donald trump. >> he's listegiven license. >> he's given license. in 1967, dr. king gave a speech at stanford university, i'm parapraising it, people were more upset about the dogs attacking the children and the racial inequality. they were more upset about the brutishness about the sheriff. you got this decorum but folks

a quick check of golden gate bridge as mike mentioned. a lack of fog and mist and we have the zipper trucks out giving you more room on the southbound side. for now you don't really need it. next traffic update coming up in just about ten minutes. >>> good news for drivers in palo alto. commute times should see major improvements. >> palo alto, east palo alto and caltrains are planning to synchronize 14 traffic signals on university avenue between middlefield road and the dumbarton bridge. four intersections will be synced up on donahue street in east palo alto. the effort to alleviate traffic will start with a traffic count and agencies will reprogram lights to sync up with better traffic flow and could cut the amount of time drivers spend in traffic jams by up to 40%. >> i'm hopeful it's going to make an improvement. i don't know how much. i'm hoping it's going to be significant. >> officials say the project should be complete in the next few months. the projects got the green light and more than $81,000 in grant money from the metropol

guilty pleas from mike flynn, rick gates, george papadopoulos, plus manafort on trial. then you have a slew of white house officials and advisers who have resigned. been ousted or are under an ethics cloud. then you've got the trump family and associates. you've got their own woes from russia to security clearances to questionable business dealings. ashley, does the white house worry that this midterm election is going to be a referendum in part on ethics in washington? >> well, first of all, it's certainly undercuts the president's boast that he only hires and surrounds himself with the best people. the white house i can tell you is generally worried about the midterms, particularly the house, and the big concern there is if they lost the house, the democrats could begin not just impeachment proceedings, but more than that, just sort of those cuts by a thousand knives of committees and hearings and inquiries. it's more actually, though, i have to say a lot of the republicans out in the country and some of them running for office who are concerned that this midterm beco

least yet of manafort flipping, there is more concern about a, gates has already flipped and b, what he may know. >> do you have any sense, mike, there's any growing anxiety about all these fronts they're managing now? it's the manafort trial, the ruling yesterday there is a value gates has to the larger investigation. we haven't heard much from cohen but that's unfolding. is the president there sort of stewing, is that why we see jay and rudy all over the airwaves. >> they're keeping the press as cup as much as possible and trying to hold him back. >> he would be doing more? >> they've shown time and time again xwn that failure as he continues to tweet about it and talk about it in ways that pretty much everyone in the legal community says are damaging. why would he continue talk about such sensitive matters that relate directly to his own conduct and he continues to do it. so look, i think the president gets very upset a lot and it gets reported a lot in the press. he has to look at this and be concerned. i'm not sure what else he can do. i mean, he has one decision he could make to do that and that's to fire mueller. he doe

so when you see mike hayden or bob gates or leon panetta, so i very much disapprove of what trump has done. politically from his point of view, there's a method to his madness, i'm afraid. if the attack on the deep state continues, what it does, what it's shown you in other historical settings in other countries, it allows a leader and that leader's cabal to say whatever they want to, because they fended off criticism of the civil service, the court, fended off criticism of the media. >> it's dangerous, and that's why i think it's gratifying to see some of the most distinguished, respected military and intelligence officers who have served this country in recent decades, come out, come out quickly and forcefully in defense the director brennan. more importantly in response to what the president has done here. this group knows -- all of us who have had security clearances, it's not a perk, not a political spoil to be given to friends of the president and taken away from those he doesn't like. it's a serious tool to be used for serious national security work. >> let's follow with your l

he already has his deputy, rick gates, he already has mike flynn. what would mueller want with manafort? what would mueller demand for any sort of leniency or any sort of deal for paul manafort? >> i have maybe a slightly less sensational, less interesting view of what the topic of these negotiations might have been. manafort doesn't really look like someone who has the ability to go in and engage in sort of the full cooperation that prosecutors would demand to complete a cooperation agreement. so what would manafort have that he could offer? prosecutors who just finished trying a case in the eastern district of virginia now have to gear up and go to trial again in washington. that's a considerable expenditure of time and resources, especially if they have the intention to work on additional cases. so if manafort were to offer to plead guilty, it would, for prosecutors, be an efficiency gain. he could probably seek from them a leniency for the amount on his property that might be seized, leaving him with resources that might provide for his family w

. >> mike, we have a dense fog advisory for golden gate bridge this morning. looking at this traffic camera it's not looking too bad right now. definitely a little haze, maybe mist too. i had to flip my wipers on when i got into san francisco this morning. it is possible. it's out there in some areas this morning. overall we're off to a quiet start, westbound 580 trace to dublin, westbound 4 antioch to concord in the green at 13 and southbound 101 san rafael to san francisco looking great. we'll head back to a rollover crash coming up next. >> thanks. >>> developing news now on the persistent long lines at the dmv. >> state lawmakers will continue to push for an audit of the agency. abc 7 news reporter amanda del castillo live in san jose for us. amanda? >> jessica, reggie, promising news from the dmv this morning. more being done to reduce the wait times. we got a look at the automated kiosk option which will help customers with check-in and the approach will involve the department bringing in more employees, shifting operating hours to start earlier and usin

when you factor in they know like rick gates not having a prior record, he could be facing four to six years. for comparison's sake, the agreement that mike flynn got from mueller puts flynn's risk at jail time at zero to six months. so gates did not get flynn's sweetheart deal but he does have one get out of jail free card. the court could give him no jail at all or just probation but that all depends on whether gates plays by mueller's rules which is a pretty good incentive to spill everything he knows and rick gates knows a lot. they were the top two officials running the trump campaign. the campaign chairman and deputy campaign chairman. they were at the center stage of the republican national convention. rig gates traveled with donald trump on the campaign trail. when paul manafort got pushed out in august of 2016, rig gates stayed. he was there for the election and beyond. you've probably heard rick gates referred to as manafort's right hand man or deputy. but that doesn't do him justice. rick gates knows a whole lot about paul manafort and he might even know more about donald trump. he was flight when there was a scramble for cash

as ron knows very well or as mike knew during the impeachment gate in his administration that's not new. i think the intensity of it now is different. i think when the president calls the press the enemy of the people as he did in a tweet about an hour ago, i think that is a different level of antagonism than we've seen from previous modern presidents. i think that is a new -- a new place for us to be. i do think president trump deserves credit for being pretty accessible, though. i mean, not only does he tweet, which i think is an excellent way to get a look into his thinking, he tends to answer questions when he walks out on the south lawn to go to the helicopter, he does a lot of interviews on fox with friendly correspondents, but nonetheless he is doing interviews with them. he talks to reporters sometimes with reporters who have covered him for a long time, he has some off the record conversations. so we do have a look into what he's thinking that we didn't always have with other modern presidents. i think that is a good thing. that is something he did during most of the 2016 campa

you factor in things like rick gates not having a prior record, he could be facing four to six years. the cooperation agreement that former national security adviser mike flynn got from mueller puts flynn's risk of jail time at 0 to 6 months. so, gates did not get flynn's sweetheart day. but gates does have one get out of jail free card. the court could choose to give him no jail time at all, or something like probation, but that all depends on whether rick gates plays by mueller's rules. which is a pretty good incentive for gates to spill everything he knows. rick gates knows a lot. he and paul manafort were the center stage at the republican national convention. rick gates traveled with donald trump on the campaign trail. when paul ma that fort got pushed out in august 2016, rick gates stayed. he was there through the election and beyond. rick gates was the second-highest ranking official on donald trump's inaugural committee. he probably heard rick gates referred to as manafort's deputy, but that doesn't do rick gates justice. rick fwaelts kn gates knows a l paul manafort. he might know more about donald trump. rick gates was right there when paul m

. >> you wrote a book and the fate that has befallen them, mike flynn, et cetera, et cetera, paul manafort, rick gates. this is not quite the narrative of your book. if donald trump is putting his blessing on these candidates that are not going on to win and say the republicans don't win in a special election, do you think that's going to be a turning point for the republican party to start to change their strategy? >> i don't think this special will change the strategy. these guys are way locked in and the ones that secretly don't love trump, they are terrified of him tweeting or getting angry at them. the ones who do love trump, they'll ride in pony until it falls over dead. if there's a significant democratic sweep in november, there will be a lot of folks who make -- get to an understanding that the endorsement in the primary was great and incredibly helpful and desisive but in the general it's poison. i think we may be getting there and seeing democrats when they get activated by trump will crawl over broken glass to vote against his people. i think we're -- we'll see the test case tonight. it's

i'm reminded, everyone from robert gates to jim comey to mike morrell said the chances were high thatoreign power did get into that unsecure server. you paid very close attention to this in congress, what do you think the truth is here? >> oh, i think it's highly probable and most likely that it did happen. we heard testimony from the inspect general, michael horowitz, that they did believe that there was an intrusion on this computer. when i was the chairman of the oversight committee, we heard testimony from the person who set up the server, did not have a degree in computer science, had never taken a computer course. literally kind of, you know, went down to best buy and then set it up in the basement there. i mean, literally, that's how sloppily this was done. we never did get testimony from the secret is service, all think they would take some ownership given that it was in former president clinton's home, but nevertheless i can't imagine that, a, she wasn't targeted. of course she was. she was secretary of state. and even as former secretary of state, she was presidential candid

gates says i'm here to tell the truth. mr. manafort had the same path. i'm here. i have taken responsibility. i am trying to change what do you make of this trial so far, mike? >> what i make of it is that rick gates knew he was facing 100 years in prison. manafort maybe even more than that. gates there saying he made the smart choice. but, dana, two take aways so far as we have seen this coverage on your air. the million-dollar wardrobe, the affairs, the trips, the crazy contracts these people have. this is what people think d.c. is like. you are known by the company you keep this was the campaign chairman rick gates as you know right in there in trump tower. not good for them. but, second, dana, this is bad for the swamp. if i'm watching this, in oshkosh, i'm thinking this is what i thought d.c. was like. people try and tell me this is only house of cards? but here it is. it's live. and so, dana, what you are seeing here is that these things do happen. especially these insane contracts to serve foreign governments. very high amounts there. but this is rare. but it does happen and we're seeing it. >> dana: one of the things gates testified about was their re

. >> mike cernovich has been associated with the pizza gate conspiracy theory.en said about hillary clinton, and pizza, and all of this nonsense that has been on the internet? >> all i know about hillary clinton is that she would have been a terrible president. and i am so thankful every single day she isn't in the white house. i'm thankful that we have donald trump who's fighting for that america first agenda to secure the border, build a ball, take care of our veterans, muck our military is strong, continue to grow the continue, and we've got to get fiscal conservatives in washington on the right and on the left. i'm the only fiscal conservative in this race, because i'm the only mom in the race. >> do you think the republican party should embrace the so-called alt-right? >> you know, i think that the republican party and the people of the united states should embrace making america great again. and the way we do that is -- >> you know, i think that the republican party and the people of the united states should embrace making america great again. and the way

gate. we are getting very close. miked we are going to see some sort of a pullback and when you do, you'll be able to buy that pullback because it's not going to last very long and i do tend to agree with with him, i tend to be more bullish than bearish and i still look at the news every single day and obviously at some point in time i think we can pull back and there are plenty of areas in the market right now and the multiples are still extremely low and i think there are opportunities everywhere and if you went to the 13 epps this past quarter, citi, bank of america and i'm talking about guys like david tepper and other guys that are huge investors that are still putting their money into those kind of areas and airlines are very inexpensive and we continue to see buyers there and warren buffett sold a couple of his positions and i think the combination of that and i think you look in the pharmaceutical area right now, as well. >> that's where i've been adding most to, and i have gilead and celgene, along with merck and

gates will take the stand we learned today. to be clear, the testimony could reverberate well beyond this trial. for all the talk of people flipping and the intrigue about what mikeilppula or george papadopoulos may have told mueller, when gates speaks under oath in public in this trial, it will be the first time we actually hear a trump campaign aide legally turn on another trump campaign aide. and the other development might be a little more melodramatic. we return to the ostrich jacket. there was an effort to keep the photos away of his sartorial taste. the suits and the $15,000 ostrich jacket. prosecutors argued that through wire transfers, as he controlled to u.s. vendors, that it is directly relevant to the elements of the offenses. that's very lawyerly and we'll show you why. the judge responded, i'm well aware the evidence is relevant and that's why i permitted the government to introduce the amounts of money that he spent. the relevance being, okay, do you know the receipts. the judge goes on to say, what i have not permitted is to gild the lily. if he spent a lot of money on fancy clothes or watches, they're not men's warehouse clothes but it wouldn't m

mike pesca and caitlin huey burns with me. gatested he's a liar, adulter, i want to point out to all of you dudes out there for your mistress that you have to pay rent, i've got to tell you if you pay rent, she actually doesn't like you. how does this play out in eyes of the jury? >> they don't pick their witness tess trial. the defendants do. and people committing criminal acts. >> they're not paying out to the sisters of notre dame. >> that's right. they're not committing the acts with nuns, they're committing acts with other criminals. the key for rick gates, one, the point about accountability he just highlighted. he said, look, i committed these criminal acts. i am here to admit to them, something that manafort is not going to do and i will pay a price. i'm likely to have jail time because of the criminal acts. two, it's not just him coming in saying one thing and paul manafort saying another. you have evidence, repeated evidence, still witness to come with more evidence of paul manafort ordering these criminal acts to take pla

the mike flynns and george papadopoulpap dap -- papadopoulos and rick gates. and the other cars are going to be outmaneuvered by law enforcement or go off a cliff. they're not going to get away. >> let me ask you about a white bronco here. don junior largely thought to be thrown under the bus by his own father. they seem to have a strategy for avoiding maybe not even impeachment but conviction. but he appeared to throw his son under the bus when he said don junior took a meeting with the russians, it happens all the time. you never meet with a foreign government, let alone a foreign adversary. there are plenty of allies who have information. you never take the meeting. you don't meet with the uk or the israelis. you never, ever, ever correspond with american adversaries. so what do you think trump's doing by saying hey, don junior met with russians to get dirt on hillary clinton? do you think it's sort of trying to signal the same defense he has for himself, collusion isn't a crime, or doesn't he understand that his son could be in serious legal jeopardy for c

it's also the president's hiring of mike flynn, of carter page, of paul manafort, of rick gates, george papadopoulos, the list goes on. the president said, why did i keep her on? because at the time she had nis nice things to say about me. that runs parallel to what the president said about scott pruitt who stayed on the job for months after ethics scandals kept mounting. it was because president trump liked him personally. >> there is a common thread here. if you flatter the president, you go far. ken, your colleague maggie haber man wrote a story with katy rogers about how someone was secretly taping donald trump at the white house. she said it was not omarosa opening up to the possibility that others are still doing the same within the white house. what is the deal with people needing or feeling the need to record donald trump? michael cohen recorded him. omarosa recorded him. there could be somebody else in the white house recording him. i know there are folks out there who have reported on donald trump who have been worried in private conversations that he would take that conversat

in fact, mike allen with axios says she was the biggest draw they've had, bigger than bill gates, bigger29 minutes of the event they were talking about the economy. then the final question came around to the high point and low point, and mike offered up the low point. ivanka weighed in on the immigration front. after she talked about families being separated at the border, which i believe the number is 88% of people in the united states, she said she wants to see families kept together, which i believe they should be kept together if they're trying to come into the country illegally until they're processed if they don't try to come in through the proper channels. then she gave what i thought was a very strong answer for ivanka, a much stronger answer than i would have thought, saying it's wrong so many of these kids are being brought in through coyotes and traffickers. >> let's play t. here's what ivanka said that jason said was a full answer. >> we are a country of laws. we have to be very careful about incentivizing behavior that puts children at risk of being trafficked, at risk of en

wing of manafort flipping, there is more concern about, a, gates has already flipped and, b, what he may know. >> do you have any sense, mike schmidt, there is any growing anxiety about all these fronts they're managing now since the manafort trial? the ruling yesterday there is a value gates has to the larger investigation. we haven't heard much from cohen this week but that's obviously ongoing and unfolding. is the president there sort of stewing? is that why we see jay and rudy? >> jay and rudy are keeping the president calm as much as possible and trying to hold him back unsuccessfully -- >> he'd be doing more if they weren't out there? >> they've shown time and time again the failure as he continues to tweet about this and talk about it in ways that pretty much everyone in the legal community says are damaging. why would he continue to talk about such sensitive matters that relate directly to his own conduct? he continues to do it. so, you know, look, i think the president gets very upset a lot and he gets reported a lot in the press. he obviously has to look at this and be concerned, but i'm not sure what else he can

mike. i'm trying to remember the last time we didn't have fog on golden gate. it has been a while, that's for sure. we do have early trouble spots in particular westbound 80 getting into the cordelia area, rollover crash blocking the two left lanes past the truck scales and you are backed up past state route 12 into the fairfield stretch. seven miles an hour, 11 miles an hour is adding about 15, 20 minutes to your trip. not giving any estimate on when as mike mentioned, maybe a little mist or drizzle on your windshield into the san francisco area, but no significant delays if you are traveling from the east bay across the bay bridge. i have more good news for commuters in san francisco this morning, the twin peaks tunnel is back open after being shut down this summer for repairs. abc 7 news reporter amy hollyfield is live with more. hi, amy. >> hi, alexis. i'm happy to show you one of the firsts trains to be going through on this monday morning. it just dipped -- got in there. see it just slipped in. this is at the new twin peaks tunnel. it's now open. it's qui

the gulf between north korea and secretary of state mike pompeo over denuclearization seems to be widening. rick gatestified that he helped paul manafort rake the law. breakhelped paul manafort the law. let's get to president trump's former campaign manager. yesterday, manafort's right-hand man gates said he helped him break the law. the appearance by gates who pleaded guilty and is cooperating with special counsel robert mueller. we are joined by our editor who joins us on set. what have we learned so far? judge ise learned the running a tight ship. -- the prosecution is not through its case, it is obviously in the middle of questioning it star witness, rick gates. what we know is paul manafort, what we learned is he earned tens of millions of dollars that his accountants testified were not disclosed to tax authorities in the united states. there were questions whether his income, whether he mischaracterized his income as loans. all of that was setting the groundwork for the gate testimony -- the gates testimony. what we do not know is that this relationship to his role on the trump campaign, because

as ron knows very well or as mike knew during the impeachment gate in his administration that's not new. i think the intensity of it now is different. i think when the president calls the press the enemy of the people as he did in a tweet about an hour ago, i think that is a different level of antagonism than we've seen from previous modern presidents. i think that is a new -- a new place for us to be. i do think president trump deserves credit for being pretty accessible, though. i mean, not only does he tweet, which i think is an excellent way to get a look into his thinking, he tends to answer questions when he walks out on the south lawn to go to the helicopter, he does a lot of interviews on fox with friendly correspondents, but nonetheless he is doing interviews with them. he talks to reporters sometimes with reporters who have covered him for a long time, he has some off the record conversations. so we do have a look into what he's thinking that we didn't always have with other modern presidents. i think that is a good thing. that is something he did during most of the 2016 campa
