we wanted to hear from muller himself. his attorney did not want muller to do an interview. muller agreed to see a visitor. "dateline" associate producer kayla ward spent 30 minutes talking with muller in jail through glass on the phone. no cameras, no recordings, no note taking allowed. >> what's your initial impression of him. >> extremely talkative. he was laughing and joking. talking about the book he was reading. >> what's his answer as to whether or not he's guilty of the crimes he's accused of? >> he wouldn't deny anything, but he wouldn't say he was guilty of anything. >> she asked him about samantha. >> i said we recently interviewed a woman and her case matches the other cases. he opened his eyes really wide. he couldn't believe that i was bringing this up. >> but he denied knowing anything about samantha's case or the one in palo alto. then kayla asked about denise huskins. >> he looked at me intensely and said can you imagine being woken up in the middle of the night, taken from your home, sexually assaulted and then you're brave and then it is used against you b

source to be interviewed robert muller along with condi rice along with the bush administration were saying that they had no advance warning that the 911 attacks would occur and this was of course completely opposite of the truth there were many many intelligence warnings in memos that came from a number of different intelligence agencies. we've asked the f.b.i. for comment but have not received one yet we'll bring you any information that we get. still to come in the program diplomatic turbulence between china and germany as berlin gives a high level welcome to one of the leaders of the hong kong protest movement got the details on that and a couple going. to base it on 920 s. you know there were no laws really on wall street and the abuses were issued and the market one way and people began to look at the stock market as the proxy for the economy people are getting wealthy because their stocks are going up and they do they quit their jobs they just become speculators as. so this is what happened now people are saying look the economy is the real economy is terrible we have no jobs

thank you for joining me on up front on the very first page of special counsel robert muller is four hundred and forty eight page report. he says and i quote the russian government into fate in the twenty sixteen presidential election in sweeping and systematic fashion it's bee

. >> reporter: muller said she took to twitter instead of going to the police.he feared they wouldn't take her seriously. >> it was to prevent -- hey, be careful of this man. >> reporter: the verdict was met with anger by feminists such as mar marie legare. >> i think it's going to have bad consequences on women who already have a hard time speaking out. we know it's hard to speak out. sometimes we're not well received and sometimes the only thing you have left is speaking out and we cannot even do that anymore. >> reporter: sexual harassment and assault complaints rose 30% after the hashtag was launched. but the ruling in sandra's case ignite aid debate on naming and shaming men for what some consider flirting. in fact, many people here say that the trial tested the boundaries between sexual harassment, freedom of expression and the heavy pickup approach. muller believes it's a cultural problem. >> in france it's much more like the country of love, you know, it's a country of seduction, it's a country of la, la, la patriarchal country and don't want to be distu

it appears that they literally did with ukraine what muller and company tried and failed to prove he did with russia collude with a foreign power to damage a political opponent why did the trump ministration essentially a to do what they just got cleared of well look i think 1st of all i think that it's been interesting to watch the democrats get ahead of the story and now today we have more of the story when you read the transcript and again i think we have all of it i haven't actually seen all the coverage is totally on redacted but we do hire the president to be in charge of among other things the election upcoming in the integrity election and one of the things he's saying is there's big corruption with biden that's now known it's a fact there was no quid pro quo this is kind of classic trump and you know when you're the president member obama and his administration were the ones that listened at least to steal and when they said hey what is this do you have something on trump let's investigate now i think we all wonder about what the roots of that were but the president supposed

of us covering this this is not anything special investigation that's already been completed bob muller hearing a song that was a flop if the majority wants to exercise the house's power of impeachment all you've got to do is ask house to do so impeachment resolution could not pass the full house so this committee is trying to have its cake and eat it too you want to give the illusion of impeachment the reality of it i want to go a long time to be able to say this welcome to fantasy. supporters of the probe hope it will strengthen their chances of gathering key evidence against the president on allegations of corruption and obstruction of justice but democrats have been sending mixed signals since the special counsel robert muller didn't find trump guilty and has more democrats seem to be rolling ahead with their efforts to remove donald trump from office the house judiciary committee called for procedures related to its investigation of the president's wrong doing now for a lot of people that seems to put the smell of impeachment into the air their records on the house judiciary commit

it's an easier story to understand than the muller investigation. it was two years and opaque. this is simpler and moving quickly. they feel like they know this is going to be around for a while. it's serious but they think they can get through it. >> in talking about joe biden's son and claiming impropriety, i am struck by how little they have to push back on when you bring up the president's own children and the deals they've been making overseas. >> and the president refusing to back down from the original talking point, the idea that this is about joe biden, about corruption. i was with him when he was with the ukrainian president. he was asked should ukraine continue to investigate joe biden? his answer was basically yes. he feels like he's pushing out the idea that's the real story here. nothing he said in that phone call. >> peter, jonathan, peter, i hope you're doing okay after the president's tweet this morning. >> doing fine, thanks. >>> still ahead, nancy pelosi's exclusive interview with ""morning joe"" where she says the impreachment inquiry goes next. could rudy g

and also as a false flags about robert muller and then talked about the role of the ukraine and he's asking the president the ukraine to get all involved in that again which would perpetuate the pot of obstruction of justice set forth the 2nd part of the a report this is a very serious abuse of power by president trump there was a joint appearance with president trump before the media that president zelinsky said that he did not feel pushed by mr trump during the phone call to do anything he didn't want to do does that impact your analysis or this impeachment inquiry no we need the transcript of the telephone call of course he's going to say he wasn't pushed a what is he going to do is he going to undermine president troponin car the wrath of president trump takes one phone call and you know that russian soldiers all over the ukraine you know if putin gets a pass for that i'm sure putin go for it there's a very very dangerous situation. between russia and the ukraine it's been difficult going back into the obama presidency and donald trump is seeking to exploit it for purposes of att

relevance of this you also have to take a look at the mahler investigation where special counsel robert muller investigated allegations that the trump complain in the 2016 come pain colluded with the russians and he did not find any proof for that but it certainly shed the latest allegations in a very different light of course president trump always defending himself calling this a witch hunt and a hoax and he's certainly now losing his credibility more and more and in addition to that of this candidate. and of course the other aspect of this of this complaint besides the phone call is that is that it says senior white house officials wanted the phone call with zelinsky of ukraine president locked down is the quote what does that mean and what does it tell us that they that they wanted to do something to get away get rid of this call. well essentially it shows that the tell staffers and aides and there were about dozen reportedly present at the time of the phone conversation that they were so concerned about the content of the conversation about the political fallout about how it could damage

to cover it up and that of course reminds of the mother investigation where special counsel robert muller followed allegations that trump and his team coded with the russians in the 2016 election campaign and that president trump later tried to shut down the investigations and this time around there is clear evidence for president trump's wrongdoing and there might be more soon as america is waiting for yet another testimony of the whistleblower himself. iran's president hassan rouhani has called on the u.s. to end its policy known as maximum pressure he asked washington to return to quote dialogue logic and reason honey went on to say his country is prepared to hold talks with the united states if president trump drop sanctions when he was speaking in new york a day after addressing the u.n. general assembly. also there is a use alexander phenomenon she spoke to brian hook the u.s. special representative for iran to get a response to rouhani his comments the u.s. government has imposed new sanctions and travel restrictions on the iranian regime back to tehran as seems to remain defiant s

doesn't really know what to do, and unlike the muller situation, he looks at nancy pelosi as a more for mmidable adversary. and i think this is a president really struggling on how to get a grip here. they will privately acknowledge that he is already seriously wounded from this politically and they're not sure if he can recover from the damage that is being done. >> but observationally the strike that i did is what we have seen before, kscorched earth, right? go after everybody who is in eyesight of this story. again, the strategy that speaker pelosi lays out is very straightforward and simple. >> i don't think it is part of the president's job to shake down leaders of other countries using taxpayer dollars to have them do something that is in his political benefit. it is wrong for any foreign government to interfere in our flexio elections. and here you have the president of the united states asking for that. >> as i watched nancy pelosi this morning, she made a very strong argument. agree or disaagree, it was clear, concise, and very targeted. is the real threat for the democrats her

president because the 1st witness to appear before the committee's former special counsel robert muller testified last july when i was asked to look into russia's role in the 2016 election and with the trumps campaign polluted with it. india has banned the production and import of electronic cigarettes because of health concerns that follows 2 u.s. states banning flavored versions of the products federal health investigators are concerned by a rise in severe breathing illnesses linked to very pink manufacturers are accused of targeting children and turning millions into nicotine addicts. a quick check of the headlines here at al-jazeera partial results in israel's repeat election showed me a deadlock between the 2 main parties it's unclear whether prime minister benjamin netanyahu or his main challenger benny gantz will have the 1st opportunity to form a coalition government a prime minister needs 61 seats to command a majority in parliament. a palestinian woman shot by israeli security forces in the occupied west bank has died of our injuries in hospital israeli media say she was seen

americans, you look at the polling right after the muller probe, americans number one of the majorities think there was bias against the president and the fbi and two, one investigation they do support they want to get to the bottom of how they were for two years and hard country was wrapped up in this unbelievable conspiracy theory are two years. they just deserve an answer. >> martha: the president had not mentioned joe biden at the end of the conversation. he had only mentioned that she had not mentioned giuliani. the only mentioned bar and what he wanted on the 2015 election, it would be consistent with all of this. obsolete we continues to raise questions mark, thank you. so president trump today is saying that he wants to know exactly who is behind the whistle-blower. speak out we are trying to find out about the whistle-blower, you have the whistle-blower that were incorrect. >> martha: someone in is an administration, suggested a deep tie story, i should say under all this. fired up to talk about it, coming up next. ♪ babies too young to be vaccinated against whooping cough are

president he was the 1st witness to appear before the committee since former special counsel robert muller testified in july while i was asked to look into russia's role in the 2016 election and whether trump's campaign colluded with it. new york has become the 2nd u.s. state to ban flavored cigarettes because of health concerns michigan was the 1st state to ban voting products earlier this month federal health investigators are concerned by a rise in severe breathing illnesses linked to very pink manufacturers are accused of targeting children and turning millions into nicotine addicts. india's economy is struggling despite recent promises of a bright future when the prime minister's reelection campaign growth has slowed in the world's 4th biggest economy and unemployment is at a 3 year high particularly hard hit a workers making cars almost 300000 of lost their jobs recently has the story. the engines of india's economy asked slowing down the auto industry says it's in the middle of its worst crisis in nearly 2 decades. that's taking a toll on work. perfectly the years of being out of wo

dershowitz: right. >> what do you think the long-term legacy of the muller report -- prof. dershowitz: well, i hope the long-term legacy of the mueller report is that we will never ever again have a special counsel or a special prosecutor appointed, that institution is a disaster to the constitution. it takes somebody and says, you have a target. prosecutors don't have targets, prosecutors work for civil servants. -- working the -- work their civil servants. if there's crimes, they find them, if there isn't, they go back and look for others, but prosecutors generally aren't given targets, and when you're a special counsel or a special prosecutor, you're told your job is to be captain ahab, and the whale is your target, and you better come back with a harpoon in that whale, otherwise you've failed for your job, and it just doesn't fit into our system of democracy, our system of checks and balances. so i hope the long-term legacy will be that we will no longer have special counsel. there should be a special unit of the justice department which consists of pure civil servants,

president he was the 1st witness to appear before the committee since former special counsel robert muller testified in july but it was also look into russia's role in the 26th election where the trucks campaign colluded with it. and in dozens of factors across the u.s. almost $50000.00 general motors workers have stayed at home for a 2nd day talks have so far failed to find an end to their strike article hain joined a picket line in michigan. flint michigan a small midwestern city trying to rebuild it's mostly known for a water quality crisis and intense poverty. but now the usual quiet here is a new kind of soundtrack. are the sounds of support a passing kind of praise for these general motors workers forming a ring around their factory along with almost 50000 others across the country who are now on strike no doubt. 6 the situation carmen smith finds herself in is a big reason why they're striking she's a temporary worker have been here almost 4 years i get nothing no bonuses no profit share no nothing no fair wages i make half of what they make an hour drive to 5 people to make 30 plus

according to the notes replies i'd like you to do us a favor though before he starts talking about robert muller and then encourage zelinsky to speak to his personal lawyer rudy giuliani and the u.s. attorney general bill barr about joe biden so let's try to make some sense of this we can't believe how could as i say a white house correspondent up on capitol hill today. as i said you really this is a matter of perspective what i just read there according to the democrat seems to be that you're smoking gun that's the evidence right there while donald trump and the republicans are saying there's nothing explicit there. yeah it really comes down to political perspective but there is sort of a legal definition in all of this and that's where congress conducts oversight that being that you know the president has his power checked by the u.s. congress the president has allegedly according to democrats used and abused his office of highest office in the united states to have one of his political rivals former vice president joe biden investigated by the ukrainian president so this is what is being alle

i was supposed to speak before bob muller was seated in an area just like this. going in, i wanted to describe fbi his mission, since i had the opportunity to work the director his office, him speak numerous times. i decided to quote him in my speech. i didn't think through what i used was some of his greatest hits. as i'm giving the speech i turned to look at him and there's this glare. [laughter] and is marking out so that was great. [laughter] 70f to the podium, after the speech, had this kind of mythical status the embrace as a tyrant. as i started off and said some of you may not know that josh used to work for me the directors office and he says i told him that if he screwed up his class speech, his first assignment would not be to los angeles but to yemen. [laughter] are elected going to yemen. los angeles was the first office thankfully. it was a great experience. >> what was great about the bureau and was less right. what met your expectations and what did it. >> the great part was easy and is the people. and this just not a throwaway line. it's really d

that is about a month or so after muller took the investigation. i think he sort of is getting his arms wrapped around it. the reason i mention this is they would have been due to go back to the fisa court in september. teeth warrant if they were going to extend it on page. to do the the would've required them to reaffirm all of the things the were in the field stuff. they didn't do the. they pulled the plug on the investigation. so i always kind of look at as the.in time the we can know the they really knew the this was not the whole idea trump in russia having a conspiracy to steal the look election was bogus. sumac. >> brendan in clinton and obama and sort of the sort of bad actors. will anything happen to them. see eric that is the big question. >> twofold number one we really need to find out is what happened. if we get a solid accounting of what happened and it turned out the people violated the law in a way that is prosecutable. you can deal with it at the. the last, wrote a book or i didn't show up in silicon valley denied the it came out,

obstruction of justice democrats have been sending mixed signals since the special counsel robert muller didn't find trump guilty kill them open expose democrats seem to be rolling ahead with their efforts to remove donald trump from office the house judiciary committee called for procedures related to its investigation of the president's wrong doing now for a lot of people that seems to put the smell of impeachment into the air their records on the house judiciary committee are expected to vote on expanding the impeachment inquiry into president trump democrats taking formal steps towards impeachment this is it had been in korea in search of something to impeach president trump over so we've got 134 democrats voting to begin an impeachment inquiry but do they really mean it at this point the democrats can't even seem to agree on what's going on with the house judiciary investigation who have been in the midst of an impeachment investigation no we're not in an impeachment investigation. the house is investigating to determine whether or not there should be an impeachment investigation so

of the russia investigation convictions prison sentences and a final bestselling report by robert muller none of it was able to shake the foundation of the trump white house like one person did this week with a 9 page whistleblower complaint tonight the week that suddenly put everything into question about the presidency of don what's wrong what we are about to discover could end up meaning relatively little or it could mean the end of a president i'm burnt off in berlin this is the day.

let's talk about this more now with cason muller from the german council on foreign relations mideast program she was a junior minister as well and the german foreign minister thanks so much for coming in this morning what's your take on what's happening in this election still too close to call. again the 2 blocs in israel are kind of neck and neck as we just heard but i think the really big news is that netanyahu fails to secure a majority he can't build a right wing government again and this is because of lieberman actually. he's going to be the kingmaker so gore lieberman filler viewers and a little bit on him he has you support represents a lot of russian speaking of voters in israel but this time not only russians because it's because voters this time he said very clearly he doesn't want a new government with the religious so i think a lot of secular voters voted. in favor of lieberman he could double he doubled his results so this is really a success though on the other hand i mean the alternative to right wing government is unfortunately not the center left government because.

i think what happened the last time is at the russian investigation by special counsel robert mullerplicated. the special prosecutor deemed that as much back and forth as there was between the trump campaign and various russians, that it didn't rise to the level of a crime or conspiracy, but there was lots of indication of criminal obstruction of justice. but that would indication of criminal obstruction ofjustice. but that would be prosecutable after the president left office. so the democrats lost stea m, left office. so the democrats lost steam, and the democratic leadership in the house, nancy pelosi, has not wa nted in the house, nancy pelosi, has not wanted to begin an impeachment hearing. she thinks it is bad for her candidates for moderate districts in the next election. but that has changed, she is now getting behind impeachment inquiries. the politics have changed because of the nature of this latest scandal, where the president is on the phone with the president is on the phone with the prime minister asking for a favour in return for the delivery of weapons systems. but w

see what the actual damage that potentially has been done than say the muller inquiry which was a 2 year inquiry this amorphous thing that the american public couldn't really grasp this is a simple issue of whether president donald trump withheld funds until he got dirt on a political rival from a foreign country a clearly impeachable offense now those narratives will increase as they go on but president trump is in serious trouble here subpoenas are starting to go out to senior white house officials other people who were in the room when not call was made questions are being asked about where that call the transcript of it was placed it was placed on a super secure server that's not normal protocol and now there are questions about other calls that the president made saying that other calls upon a super secret service between the president and people like putin and members of the saudi royal family so this investigation is moving very very quickly indeed if you listen to president trump talk about it right now he seems to paraphrase his own remarks quite low energy on this it seems to b

of the russia investigation convictions prison sentences and a final bestselling report by robert muller none of it was able to shake the foundation of the truck white house what one person did this week with a 9 page whistleblower complaint tonight the week that suddenly put everything into question about the presidency have done what's wrong what we are about to discover could end up meaning relatively little or it could mean the end of a president i'm burnt off in berlin this is the day. i don't see the action of an inquiry is the time to prove it's not about politics it's not in that part since you know it's a damn patriotism. person getting into. the saloon business groups respond. to me go home soon small is just too easy. to the reason for this occupant of the oval office poses a clear and present danger to our future to our democracy it's a deeply disturbing situation and circumstance and i think the proper role and responsibility for starters at this point is still investigating get to the bottom of this phone call to say nothing burger in terms of a quid pro quo donald trump is
