document show that rosenstein appointed muller and muller was secretly communicating that muller was already on board to be the special counsel. so busy doing then in the oval office the day before he takes the job. he denied he was interviewing for fbi directorship. but i interviewed the president in the oval office and he said absolutely was. that's why he was there. i interviewed his personal assistant to set up the meeting and was privy to the conversation. he said yeah, it was an interview to the fbi director. multiple administration witnesses and documents demonstrate the muller was either a terribly mistaken or not telling the truth when he denied all of that. but it invites the question so what is he doing there. if he is already decided to take the job is special counsel, why is the in the oval office. was that a conversation on false pretenses so that muller could gather information from trump in the oval office to be used against him in the special counsel investigations. and the key question is, did the president explain to muller his reasons for firing coming. and if the

district judge dabney frederick he went on to say that muller prejudiced a potential jury. in this case of the russian firm concord management consulting l.l.c. which they're facing a legal battle with the department of justice right now the u.s. government says that concorde funded be quote social media meddling campaign but the traitor says that there was a lack of evidence supporting that and concluded that russian president putin and president i'll trump didn't conspire to win the 2016 election so the biggest point of judge freeh rebuke of muller was that muller tied the internet research agency to basically all of russia rather it was individuals that happened to be russian so the timing of this report it's also pretty interesting you know because this latest report comes as house democrats well they've started an impeachment inquiry into president donald trump it's another chance to talk about what is dubbed here in this states as the russian collusion campaign yet again despite there being no russian collusion now it's also a chance to take a stab at the growing view

manipulation in the 2016 presidential election now donald trump was very interested in how that how muller's investigation began in the 1st place it's a conspiracy conspiracy theory that has actually no merit no evidence in fact his own national homeland security officials have said this has been debunked that it wasn't russia involved but ukraine involved and not on the side of the republicans and donald trump on the side of the democrats that is this conspiracy that has been trying to push and that's what they're trying to that's what he said he was trying to find out about in ukraine which is what this whole thing is now about it's been hard to keep up isn't it mulvaney said the aid was partly held up to pressure ukraine he said said the media have got his comments all wrong why have his comments raised eyebrows like this well once again we see the trump administration seemingly dangling a quid pro quo out for everyone to see which of course they backtrack and say there's no quid pro quo the quid pro quo we're talking about here is we we give you military assistance if you help us with ou

attempt to impeach president donald trump has scored a victory democrats will get a full copy of the muller report into russian meddling in the 2016 election sensitive parts of the report were originally blacked out but now a u.s. court has ruled that a full copy of the document should be given to the house of representatives judiciary committee it's widely expected that the department of justice will appeal against the decision the mother investigation found that russia had worked to disrupt the 2016 presidential election to undermine the democratic candidate hillary clinton. for more i'm joined by d.w. correspondent. in washington d.c. pavlo democrats will get information about russian interference in the 26th election that they haven't seen before why is this important. well this is a very big victory for the democrats it essentially gives them validity to the ongoing impeachment inquiry against president trump the chief u.s. district judge beryl howell basically dismissed the administration's arguments for withholding the materials from congress now one of those elements is that there w

campaign and the kremlin during the 2016 election the investigation into that by special counsel robert muller had many u.s. news outlets feasting on the story for more than 2 years in the american presidency right now is the product of collusion between the russian intelligence services and an american campaign i mean that is so profoundly big in the end it fell short of the high expectations that many journalists in their excitement had helped to create all of which has made it easier for the white house to argue that the ukraine story which is centered around a phone call between trump and president for more than it is a is just more of the same. the russian investigation that was such a complex set of facts that i think it was tough for democrats to really explain why trump should be impeached thank you very much here whereas here with the whistleblower complaint regarding trump's feelings not just with ukraine with other countries as well is a lot more straightforward and so i think that has. lend itself to making a clear case for impeachment the white house to have just released the tran

of the prudence that has been exercised if we could call it that over the last 2 years during the muller investigation he's lashing out and clearly there is some level of concern both at the white house but i think especially in the building behind me up on capitol hill amongst republican leaders from your time at the white house can you talk us through what exactly the reason if there is if a phony is conversation how much detail is kept and how much of it is then accessible well what happens in these conversations or the meetings for instance that took place today between the finnish president and president trump is you will have members of the national security council other key advisers in the room there are also folks down in the situation room which in the west wing is located beneath the oval office there are going to take notes on that call and they will also have a recording of it that ultimately is distributed out normally amongst the national security council members who have relevant we call them equities in those conversations and then to departments like defense state depar

meddling in the 2016 election wrapped up earlier this year with the former special counsel robert muller finding no collusion between donald trump's team and russia however he stated moscow did indeed meddle in the election although provided no evidence that. meanwhile an impeachment inquiry into donald trump is in full swing in the u.s. but it's actually turning out to be good news and not just for the democrats or bill all later in the program. people in the french city of iran are demanding the truth after a major fire at a nearby chemical factory they fear a cover up and dispute claims by authorities the air was safe to breathe for the difference has more. almost a week ago the chemical plant just across the water that was a blaze a thick plume of black smoke billowed into the sky as firefighters battled almost 24 hours against the flames. and it's not good is that i'm not saying that the smell isn't pleasant i'm just telling you what the results of the tests are namely that the air is not harmful and since then there has been growing anger over what some say is a lack of information

the anguish was overwhelming for freda and peter muller when they found out their son had been stabbedhome from football training. they should not be allowed. they should not be allowed, that was my concern, those were my feelings as a mother. i actually remember i concern, those were my feelings as a mother. i actually rememberi heard i got stabbed here, i got injured here, stabbed here and i did not see him. ididn't here, stabbed here and i did not see him. i didn't know. and then i remember he stabbed me here and i think i tried to grab the knife of him and then i wasjust screaming. those who minutes of violence are now forcing this family to question everything. they are saying the best thing to do is to move out of the area. that is the fear. you should not be like that. it is not new, you just have to live with that. but there is a realism fuelled by social media. they are always showing videos of people getting stabbed or pictures of police who say they have caught them and someone took a picture and that would be a knife, a gun. social media always betraying it, everywhere. we

court says confidential portions of robert mueller as report must be released to congress muller concluded a 2 year investigation into alleged russian interference in the 2016 presidential election but large sections of his findings were withheld democrats are seeking the full report as part of their impeachment investigation of us president donald trump from washington christmas salumi explains why the court ruling is important for democrats democrats are particularly interested in any information in that report that could pertain to a possible obstruction of justice charge against the president and you may recall that the mahler report found that there was russian interference in the 2016 election but insufficient evidence to show that president trampers team were involved in any way he also left open the question of possible obstruction of justice for how president trump handled that investigation his efforts to stifle it remember he fired f.b.i. director james comey that raised a lot of questions in the possibility of charges there but the special counsel said that he could not charge

there was a review that took place into the muller investigation. into the mother report.equest of the attorney general, william barr. we are told that review has 110w barr. we are told that review has now turned effectively into a criminal inquiry and that has taken place. however, we simply do not know what crimes are being investigated. the department of justice will not say anything. the white house has indicated that this is to look at right back to 2016, when the presidential election was taking place, whether there was any improper interference by the department ofjustice then or by the fbi. and that it is to try and ensure there was no wrongdoing at that stage under what was then the barack 0bama administration but of course, democrats are very forcibly say that as far as they are concerned, this is simply political interference and they say they haven't seen anything thatjustifies a criminal investigation into the mother report. meanwhile, he seems they will have a lot more evidence to look at as far as that in squire is concerned. —— that inquiry is concerned. eu

investigating, want to impeach president trump should be allowed to see the unredacted portions of the mullerort. it's likely that decision will be appealed. but if the intel commit eat gets that report unredacted. what are they going to see? >> there are about a thousand redactions in the mueller report. one surprising thing people might not appreciate is all of the redactions aren't necessarily going to damage president trump. one of the reactions i was able to unredact through reporting, it concerns an allegation that the russians intercepted a phone sex conversation of president clinton when he was in office potentially making him vulnerable to blackmail. there may be surprises in there. jon: tom mcclintock says the ruling on the mueller investigation transcripts will be challenges. >> that ruling is not the last word on the subject, it's the first word by an obama-appointed judge. this judge's decision flies in the face much the principles enshrined in u.s. v. nixon and it will be appealed. >> you should never guess one court decisions could come down. and this could go on for quite a wh

it'she kind of like bob muller d his interview. he of didn't seem to know much about it. this is huge in my opinion. >> there are documents that i found which i describe in my book the most significant document is dated may 20,2016. a month before the first steele report. this proto dossier this describes an opposition research looking into the trump's teams ties to russia. it'sin skeleton of what later became known as the steele dossier. the reason why this is so important is because it started, they are talking about the trump's teamor tie to russia. it's laying the groundwork for a counter intelligence information. >> laura: of the campaign. >> exactly. this is what the clintons are scared of. the clinton campaign got the fbi to spy on the trump campaign. that was the point. that was the fies award annual. they obtained a spy warrant to get in the campaign to find an october surprise. >> laura: there is soso much we could do literally an hour on this book. because when people sink their teeth into the work burrowing in one in november that was not out of the ordinary a
