given what you say what does the telling you is there any real way to gauge what effect if any mr trump's handling of the crisis will have on his chances of re-election in november. i think it will have a tremendous impact i think it has tremendous impact now i think there are new polls out there and those polls are saying that. something if a presidential candidate joe biden is leading in those polls by a wide margin before donald trump even in those battle states where mr trump normally had the edge on. i'm not hard pressed to say that. the president didn't have many friends here and with this crowd and with the african-american population here in minneapolis and probably across country despite of what he claims and. he definitely didn't make any friends new friends here that is that is for sure at least that's what we're hearing. stephan you'll standing in the way this conversation started with the protest started how to protest this plan to mind tying the momentum they've built with this protest movement. excellent question anthony this is the key question here how do they get organiz

but it also is a curious thing because geoffrey berman actually was mr trump's man in that very importantway from the election, and president trump may or may not make it. so, it's a pretty bold movejust as he is heading into the campaign. people are trying to make sense of it still overnight. and, so, geoffrey berman is obviously determined to resist. what is the balance of expectation on whether he can do that successfully? well, under normal circumstances, i think this would be much, much more difficult for geoffrey berman to resist because these folks are appointed by, effectively, the president. but in geoffrey berman's case, he was actually appointed through a sort of legal quirk. he was actually appointed by thejustices in the southern district of manhattan, legaljustices, and so he is arguing that he cannot be forced out until there is a successor. there will be a legal battle over this. i guess more importantly for geoffrey berman is that it's his way of making this a huge story by not simply accepting the resignation that has been requested of him, and getting people to talk abo

just remind us of this incident, and what happened to this man and exactly what mr trump said in hiswas a 75—year—old man, a well—known local activist, although his friends who have been responding to what has happened over the last 2a hours or so say that he is not a provocateur, he is a peaceful activist. and he was caught on video being pushed by the police, and the president in his suite accuses him of using some sort of device to effectively block the police scanners. effectively block the police scanners. now, he can be seen in that video with what looks like a mobile phone. it seems to be pointed at the police, it isa to be pointed at the police, it is a little bit difficult to tell. but many experts have been weighing in on this, saying that even if he was trying to block some sort of scanning device, a mobile phone wouldn't achieve that, and you see him being knocked to the floor. he bangs his head against the pavement, and you can see him start bleeding, and initially the police appear to walk off, and there has been a real outcry at the president's remarks on twitter, and

it did -- mr. trumpl and the people present did promise an federal investigation into the case. if there was policy where all families got federal investigations into the case. that would have been a powerful statement. >> your visit was somewhat controversial. because you received backlash for going to the white house today from people who are concerned that the white house is doing this executive order because it allows them to look attentive to the issue while doing relatively little. what's your response to people saying it was the wrong thing to do? >> my concern is being able to serve the family of cooper, jones and the other families represented there. and independent federal investigation into their case like the one that is occurring now in south georgia with the doj looking into the actions of george barn hill. the district attorney who was involved in denying this family justice. those are important things. for a while there were celebrities introducing a prison reform to the white house. what
