"the subtext whether he knew about russian efforts to influence the election and whether the threat of conviction could lead him to cooperate with special counsel robert mueller weighs not just on the prosecution and the defense, but on the white house, as well." among the americans charge sod far by prosecutors, mr. manafort not only held the highest position in the campaign, but arguably has the deepest connections to russian political forces. then manafort trial commences on the same day that president trump is changing his tune on the question of russian collusion, to the message first trotted out by allies that collusion in and of itself is not a crime. and at this hour, the manafort trial, opening statemen

that's the problem that paul manafort has.'t really understand how they're going to make the argument that blaming the russian oligarchs for his failure to pay taxes. blaming rick gates certainly is classic defense strategy, which is when you have two partners, one of whom pleads guilty and cooperates against the other, the remaining one on trial blames the person who cooperates. that's certainly what manafort is going to do. it doesn't always work. in fact, it usually doesn't work. but it is a classic and very appropriate defense strategy. gloria, the president's team is trying to distance this entire manafort trial from the campaign, but these ukrainians with whom manafort was working and collected about $60 million, they were very pro-kremlin, pro-putin, pro-russian folks in ukraine. viktor yanukovych, the leader of ukraine at that time, was a close ally of putin's. is that argument going to work? >> well, when he was out of power, the spigot dried up for paul manafort. he wasn't getting all that money anymore. look, the bo

paul manafort filed a hopeless appeal to that decision.ppeal and dropped that case entirely. today in a filing in the criminal case that will be heard in federal court in virginia, prosecutors say they can prove the former trump campaign chairman is guilty of tax and bank fraud. they say they can move that he earned more than $60 million working as a consultant on behalf of a russia backed ukrainian political party and hid the money in offshore bank accounts. "the new york times" reports that prosecutors claim that beginning in $2006 he did millions of in income that he received from the ukrainian government and the ukrainian oligarchs to promote a pro-russian leader when he fled to russia after a popular uprising in 2014. the funds dried up. they charged that mr. manafort resorted to bank fraud to maintain his lifestyle. >> rudy giuliani said this poses absolutely no threat to the information. >> he has no information incriminating of the president. i know that for a fact. they can squeeze him. paul manafort does not know anything. nor co

paul ryan is about to face reporters on capitol hill. hanging over washington like the rain clouds are this morning, a new white house assault on the president's perceived enemies and potentially on the u.s. intelligence community in general. the president is threatening to yank security clearances of former national security figures who have criticized him. let's begin our coverage with abby phillip. when you look at why the white house is very comfortable, according to jeff zeleny's reporting, putting this out there, they think this is another way to play to the base with the deep state argument. what else are you learning? >> reporter: that's right. if there's anything that this white house knows how do very well is it change the subject. that's what they're doing with another potentially very controversial move. what sarah sanders said yesterday that president trump is looking into removing security clearances of former obama administration officials. it was brought up by senator rand paul who said he talked to president trump about

worked with paul manafort for a very long time. so there's a lot more that we don't, that may be fine but i don't know if he just worked with him on the stuff and he was in the room when don jr. was saying i got an email from a kremlin lawyer. >> lawrence: i think that's speculation and americans are getting tired of it. >> harris: president trump is warning lawmakers again that he is willing to shut down the government if lawmakers want step up for funding with the wall and border security so will it shutdown happen and how the fight affect the midterms? plus controversy across the country as some mayors are siding with apologize protesters over law enforcement. whether that is a good move or if they will face backlash, we debate. high protein to help get us moving. and help you feel more strength & energy in just 2 weeks. i'll take that. ensure high protein, with 16 grams of protein and 4 grams of sugar. ensure® tap one little bumper and up go your rates. with 16 grams of protein and 4 grams of sugar. what good is your insurance

paul manaport hopes to avoid conviction. maybe he hopes and assumes if he is convicted the president will pardon him, that's certainly in the president's power to do so. the leverage that i think mueller is looking for in terms of manaport is the outcome of this trial. another question is, would the president be able to get away with, in political terms, pardoning him if and after he was convicted. would such a pardon be -- would be seen as obstruction of justice? whether obstruction of justice in criminal terms or terms of politics, in terms of him being impeached by a democratic house of representatives. all these pieces will be a lot clearer once his trial is over. catherine: d donald trumpp hasa course, called the mueller inquiry a witch-hunt.t. he's not the first president to face scrutiny from a special counsel. has there ever been this type of savaging before, savaging of a special counsel like donald trump has done and is he weakening democratic institutions by behaving like this? a >> the short answer to your questi

we are awaiting a ruling in the paul manafort case. judge ellis will decide on a request from the former trump campaign chairman's defense lawyers to delay his criminal trial which was supposed to start later this week. manafort will be the first person to go to trial under robert mueller's investigation. the president was focused all morning, and, surprise, it is surrounding the russia probe. trump's false claim that his campaign was vindicated by the release of a highly secretive government document he declassified. this weekend breaking decades of secretive protocol, the doj released a previously classified warrant that was used to request government surveillance of former trump campaign aide carter page. page at the time was under suspicion of acting as an agent for the russian government. the president has been tweeting about it all morning. we are going to spare you the dramatic reading of those tweets. suffice it to say trump is incorrectly using the released information to confuse the public and to try to claim the investigatio

the president wrote rand paul, you really get it, after rand paul defended the president's stunning press conference with vladimir putin, dismissing his intelligence agencies and calling the united states foolish. any time the speaker of the house, paul ryan who reminded president trump russia is not our ally, is due to speak to reporters on capitol hill. you will see it here live. at the white house, no one seems to know how the president will handle what for him was unexpected backlash to the summit, where he accepted what he calls putin's extremely strong denial of election interference and said he holds both countries responsible for poor relations. immediately after that news conference, the president told fox news he sees vindication. >> first of all, there was no collusion whatsoever. i guess he said it strongly as you can say it. they have no information on trump. one thing you know, if they had it, it would have been out. >> he said it was nonsense. >> he said tea noit's not sensn. he said there's no collusion and which you know and everybody who watches your show know and most o

to paul's point, he's the only one who's faced trial. i should note that not only rick gates but tad devine, who is a long-time strategist who worked for bernie sanders very prominently in 2016 and was a business partner of paul manafort's is also going to be testifying presumably about the work they did in ukraine. i guess the question, paul, is as a former federal prosecutor is your expectation here they're just going to go through with this trial and they'll do the other trial and if they win paul manafort goes to jail and that's the end of that or do you feel like there's something else about this set of facts with paul manafort in relation to the larger investigation? >> you know, chris, i've tried cases that have settled, that is, the defendant has pled guilty sometimes the day of trial, sometimes in the middle of the trial. they hear the opening statement, they heard very strong witnesses for the government, and they think, wait a minute. so you know, it remains to be seen. if it goes to trial, it's unclear what the defense will b

and paul manafort has done an amazing job. he is here someplace. where is paul? good. you made it. that is mr. manafort, who by the way is an amazing man. >> curious about gymnastics that he is trying to distance himself. we reported that he lobbiesed for a host of dictators, problematic third world bully types. you didn't have to be in the cia to understand that this could be someone who had skeletons in his closet. but they didn't do that. they brought him out and treated him like a prince. >> here is a guy who is on russian control. the fact that he and trump didn't have a little trash talk about russia alludes me. >> he owed millions of dollars to oleg. at the end of the day, why was manafort invited to the meeting? >> this guy has money in his pocket. he knows something on trump that could spring him from prison. >> manafort was the chairman, he was in the room for meetings that gates was not at. he had more visibility into the finances of the campaign and the trump organization. he could have more value to mueller and his investigators than gates. he could be right out of the

you'd expect the speaker of the us high surf representatives he has commented on trump's invitation paul ryan's leaving like quote we will certainly not be giving putin an invitation to do a joint session not something we reserve for allies. and there has been no let up in the russian meddling allegations the secretary of homeland security kirsten nielsen told reporters that russia was absolutely attempting to interfere in our election systems and the government needs to prepare her for further meddling and ultra followed up with a tweet suggesting moscow might try to help the democrats i'm very concerned that russia will be fighting very hard to have an impact on the upcoming election based on the new president has been tougher on russia the me he will be pushing very hard for the democrats they definitely don't want trump. all right let's get some thoughts on this from down the aisle make albums executive director at the rome paul institute you're very welcome back to the show as we just heard there donald trump said russia might try to swing the upcoming midterms in favor of the democ

paul manafort first person to face a jury on this is happening, supposed to be later this week. it's next week. clearly, the investigation moving to a new phase. the president watching it saying he'll be more involved. we have no idea what this means, jake. >> jeff zeleny at the white house with the breaking news, thank you so much. cia spokesperson told cnn that the agency has no comment on the threat of revoking security clearances. let's discuss here. david, this is unprecedented. you don't have to defend it if you don't want to. >> listen. so yeah. unprecedented. but, you know, the revoking of security clearance, i know this is a revoking of security clearances. these gentlemen have been retired for quite sometime. i think it is a nicety that they're allowed to keep the clearances to be part of the club. the revocation of a clearance, it doesn't take abuse and not sure why they maintain them. >> we'll go to barbara starr at the pentagon to explain that in one second but first i want everybody'
