paul carter has been to toronto to find out more about google's grand designs.habet has its fingers in many technological pies, from home automation, search, life sciences and autonomous vehicles, but now the company has an even bigger idea, it wants to build a whole new city. well, sort of. authorities in ca nada's largest city, toronto, have announced a partnership with google's stablemate sidewalk labs to design a new waterfront area known as quayside. sidewalk labs say they want to see a city built from the internet up. what does that look like? streets will come alive with the vitality we expect from sort of the greatest urban environments in a way that has never actually been seen before. the plans include modular buildings that will automatically adapt to wind and rain, robot delivery services, underground rubbish disposal trains, heated roads to melt the snow, digital navigation systems, smart traffic, self—driving buses. so far, sojetsons, but will any ordinary people actually be able to afford to live there? what's really interesting when you sit down

contacts from done junior, jared kushner, trump attorney michael cone, george papadopoulos, paul manafort, carter page, jeff sessions, michael flynn and the campaign foreign policy adviser j.d. gordon. here are just some of the ways trump allies have defended those individuals and those contacts. >> paul manafort, who is a good man, also by the way, paul manafort was replaced long before the election took place. he was only there for a short period of time. >> even general flynn was a volunteer of the campaign and then obviously there's been discussion of paul manafort, who played a very limited role for a very limited amount of time. >> carter page is an individual who the president-elect does not know and was put on notice months ago by the campaign. >> i'm very disappointed in jeff sessions. >> you can fire him. >> i could. we'll see what happens. but i was -- i pond a man to a position and then shortly after he gets the position, he recused himself. i said what's that all about? why didn't you tell me that you were going to do that and i wouldn't have appointed you. >> as far as my son is con

. >> she and donnelly were in the room when he had conversations with paul manafort and carter page.ll these people have been wandering through donald trump's life and hope hicks has been in the room and at his side. kennedy: does she remain loyal to the president? >> she'll remain loyal to the president and tell the truth. she is not going to sit there lie together special prosecutor. that would be a crime. but what hope hicks has in her head is snippets of snippets that may help robert mueller connect some dots. but what dots does he have at this point? he indicted paul manafort for things that happened before the campaign and george papadopoulos for lie together fbi. his job is not to explain what happened. he's a prosecutor. kennedy: he won't have the same flowery press conference james comey had explaining why he wasn't recommending charges for hillary clinton. a woman climbed inside a mcdonald's drive-thru window to rob the place. but what happened next will warm your heart. liberty mutual stood with me when i was too busy with the kids to get a repair estimate. i just snapped

paul manafort, that's not related to campaign activity. but then carternto a sworn testimony environment and says something completely different from what he has been saying in the public, and that's where the danger zone is in this situation. you have people who are going into -- they're swearing to tell the truth, so they're going to tell the truth so they don't go to jail. >> he was presented apparently by the house committee with an e-mail that he had sent back to the campaign describing who he met with. >> who that person was remains to be seen. as you know, he did ask permission to go and they said you can't go as someone from the campaign but your free to go. the concern for him, in the article they say he spoke to the fbi, has his story changed. and he told them the same thing he told the house committee this week. if "f" his story changed fall, going to have a george p. number two. >> carter page, this is what he said in multiple interviews. he's never met president trump he says. he claimed in a press conference why he had a press conference in

don junior, jared kushner, paul manafort, george papadopoulos, carter page, continue to move up the chainhat donald trump tweets out or sarah sanders says. >> jared kushner, his attorney says quote we provided judiciary committee with all relevant documents that had to do with calls, contacts or meetings with the russians during the campaign and trapsision which was the request and said open to additional requests. but laundry list that pamela went through. source for trump dossier and e-mails forwarded or exchanged, these appear to be blatantly relevant. >> they're not only relevant, they're omitted. which is even -- it's indicative of the way they have responded to this investigation. they omit things in forms that are mandatory when discovery is undertaken, don't respond fully. get caught, sloppy about it. should check this stuff themselves. i'm surprised that abby lowe let this get by, only looks worse for his client not having responded fully when they say they're volunteering. >> this is a troubling pattern with these documents. national security questionnaire that kushner amended t

paul manafort, the campaign chairman. carter page. all of them have had these memory problems. this is either the greatest set of coincidences in the 21st century or something really is rotten with the trump campaign. and we're going to get to the bottom of what happened. >> to your memory point, "the new york times," he repeated this phrase i don't recall more than 20 times. here's how they summed it up. mr. sessions said he could not remember much about russian influence on the trump campaign except when he could block such influence. do you think that you're going to hear more from sessions on all of this in the future? >> well, the american people deserve to learn the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth about this whole sordid affair. our democracy was attacked. its integrity is at issue. and we're determined no matter how much obstruction we see from my friends on the other side of the aisle, to get to the bottom of what had occurred. now we've got the rob mueller investigation, everyone in washington with the exception of donald trump has great confidence in

carter page. that meeting of course taking place hours before former campaign chairman paul manafort and his formersiness associate rick gates are scheduled to appear in court. here to discuss all of these developments, nbc news intelligence national security reporter ken delanian. how does carter page play into all of this? >> good morning, stephanie. a lot of people tend to write carter page off as a bit player in part because he continues to give these colorful television interviews with our friend chris hayes. actually i think the papadopoulos plea puts a new spotlight on page. they are very similar characters. both lower level foreign policy advisers who had ties to russia. the fbi got interested in page because he took a trip to moscow in july of 2016 and also because russian intelligence tried to recruit him as an asset we learned in previous court documents. "the new york times" reported that after he left the trump campaign, the fbi wiretapped him. now, i asked carter page yesterday whether he was aware that his colleague papadopoulos has been in touch with these russians and they were off

paul manafort did. as for the amendment page, carter page e-mailed, excellent work.o you have a view based on what we know, whether this was an unusual policy idea within the campaign? or given the exposure on the foreign agents, that this may have been an the every by people, paul manafort and others, to essentially hijack u.s. policy? >> well, i'm eagerly awaiting the results of the investigation. it is obviously something to really speculate lively about. whether this was just part of the, let's get along with russia attitude that we heard from trump on many occasions. there were there was direct conspireing by some people in the campaign. maybe in communication with russia. we don't know. so i think we have to wait and see. but it is ironic that trump in office has actually come one a reasonably decent policy toward ukraine. he is appoint ad special envoy. he is trying to negotiate a solution that gets the russians out of eastern ukraine. so the only missing piece, is he going to provide lethal defensive weapons? that's on his desk now. i hope he does it. putin n

paul manafort. we have michael cohen. we have donald trump jr., carter page.e have jared kushner, michael flynn, george papadopoulos, jd gordon, who is in that infamous meeting we've all seen pictures of, and jeff sessions. that is the nine people who had some kind of connections that they did not disclose or they denied that later came to light. and now you have wilbur ross as well. senator richard blumenthal has called for ross' resignation or an ig investigation. do you agree with either of those calls? >> yes. absolutely i do. i also think he should be a part of our investigation. as a side note, chris, this week incidentally, you can't make this up, we're debating tax legislation that would make it even easier for businesses as the tax policy center says to offshore their profits and use shell companies like this, making it harder for us to expose these types of relationships. >> there is also some -- we got -- some of the transcript back from carter page's marathon session with your investigators. i don't know if it was in front of actual members or comm

. >> bret: obviously in the interim, we have had the paul manafort indictment, the guilty plea from papadopoulos, and with have the release of carterage page's deposition or testimony on the hill. here's sound bite number two. >> asking explicitly, did you meet with any other russians. i am prepared to say i did. i met with the ambassador in my office. with at least two of my staff, sr., respected patriots. retired colonel in the army. nothing improper occurred. >> once and for all, can we answer the question. >> i am once and for all answering the question. i don't understand why he won't take my answer. >> we are on the third edition, mr. attorney general. >> he keeps getting at him and it keeps coming back. it goes back to the al franken exchange that charlie was talking about during his confirmation hearing. his story, by the way, is that he felt like he was not required to disclose every meeting he had within ambassador or a foreign official in the normal course of business as a u.s. senator. and he did not actually disclose that. there's other explanations. he didn't completely understand franken's question was -- which did w

gates, other top trump campaign officials, paul manafort was the campaign chairman. >> well, here we have another person associated with the trump campaign, carter page, who met with russian officials. the trump campaign came up during that discussion. one would believe that russia thought that the trump administration would be more favorable to their cause. that raises more concerns. >> does carter page's testimony from your assessment, senator, confirm more of that so-called russia dossier? >> yes. i mean, i think it points out that there was numerous contacts made by russia, that russia had a game plan to influence our election, certainly affect the credibility of our election. we don't know exactly how much cooperation they got from the trump people, but we know that russia was actively engaged and now we know a lot more about it. >> the former cia director, john brennan, said back in may that -- and i'm quoting him now, people who go along a treasonous path do not know they are in a treasonous path until it is too late, closed quote. in your opinion, senator, does that statement and it's a tough state, the word "treason" is obviously very p

paul manafort to the meeting. then there are the members of the campaign, carter page, foreign policy advisor, he had multiple undisclosedtings with russians one of those was a russian spy who was later busted by the fbi. trump campaign director of national security, j.d. gordon admitted to altering the draft policy on ukraine, to make it more prorussia. and trump campaign foreign policy advisor, george papadopoulos who reportedly met with a professor who had dirt on hillary clinton, last week he pleated guilty to making false statements to fbi investigators. michael cohen, then there's the former trump campaign chair, paul manafort. last week paul manafort was indicted and is under house arrest for laundering the money he made working for the pro-russian oligarch. those were the connections now we have the newest one with commerce sek retear wilbur ross. how is it possible that so many people with such deep ties to russia have found their way to the most inner circles of our president? that's a disturbing score card. this, to be clear, isn't about politics. it's about the influence of a foreign policy, the story we star

carter page, former campaign advisor; paul manafort, former campaign manager and chief strategist; michael flynn, the disgraced former national security advisor who in 2015 spoke at a party honoring russian state-owned television network where he sat next to vladimir putin; jared kushner, white house advisor and son-in-law; and donald trump jr., the president's son. each and every one of these former members of the trump campaign have had unusual contacts with the russians. nonetheless, just last month the attorney general said -- and i quote -- i'm not aware of those activities, and i wasn't and am not and don't believe they occurred. unquote. you know, i wanted to say to attorney general sessions, listen, i understand that you're recused from the russia investigation, but do you think that means you're not allowed to watch the news or read a newspaper? my god, what is going on here? madam president, it is clear that attorney general sessions has an ongoing difficulty remembering his own interactions with russians and the extent to which he knew about russian contacts with other members o

. >> paul butler, it is important for folks to keep in mind. whatever carteracter study is for people following russia. he also is doing all of this knowing that he was previously a target of russian spies in new york. i mean, for some people, they can say, hey, i'm new to this. what's going on? in his case, he literally by this point is in an investigation with the fbi involved of people who saw him as an asset. you would hope he wouldwise up. >> and in 2014. they have probable cause to think there's something criminal going on with his dealings with the russians. but this special council investigation is about collusion and obstruction of justice. and they are, i think they're interested in those issues. so with the trump campaign, we see this pattern of foreign aid, an official coming in. if he has dealings with foreign policy, the russians reach out to them. half with papadopoulos, half with carter page. the campaign seems receptive. with regard to obstruction of justice, what is really fishy about the trump campaign and carter page is this nondisclosure a

with carter page's admission we count at least nine figures in the trump campaign who met with the russians, including attorney general jeff sessions, donald trump jr., jared kushner, paul manafort and george papadopoulos, the campaign adviser who pleaded guilty to lying about it, the first criminal cop v criminal conviction in the russian investigation. >> and the driver of the baltimore police van in which freddie gray was fatally injured has been cleared of all charges. his death sparked riots two and a half years ago. cesar goodson had been accused of failing to make sure gray's seat belt was fastened. >>> and a very special event took place at madison square garden right here in new york. >> kicking offer the comedy comedians, including conan o'brien and john oliver in the annual stand up for heroes event. >>> and the red hot chili peppers were also there, adding to the event. the whole thing raises money for wounded veterans and their families throughout, through the woodruff foundation, founded by our own bob woodruff who was injured while covering the war in iraq back in 2006. >> i don't think i'd be alive right now if it wasn't for the doctors apartme doctors a

we know about paul manafort and george papadopoulos and now we're hearing carter page may have had undisclosedtings with officials. >> on the surface the white house has playeded a very calm, cool attitude about this. there's nothing here. nothing to hide, we're fully cooperating. there's obviously tensions among the staff who are being interviewed continuing into next week and there have been a number of interviews and the white house is hoping those interviews are wrapped up by thanksgiving and that might be wishful thinking and there are tensions about who's talking to who and not to mention the huge legal bills they're starting to face as they're called in front of mueer >> the president's longtime bodyguard keith schuller is expected to testify to the house intelligence committee next week. about the dossier about the president's trip to moscow in 2013. how concerned should the white house be about that? >> well, other than the president's family, no one is closer to him than keith schuller. keith schuller is often the first person he sees in the morning and the last person he sees at nig

carter page, don't really know. mike flynn, lied to the vice president. paul manafort, he was just around to help us with delegates. well, jared kushner is his son-in-law. so it's hard to dismiss him. i think he is doing a classic shiny object, look over here. the real story is x when in fact -- and look, bob mueller will continue to pursue the legal course here. and i think that's the real story. trump is making a political response to what is bob mueller's sort of march legally speaking forward. and everything will be determined on what mueller finds. the politics of what trump is trying to do right now will be changed inevitably by what mueller ultimately finds. we're all sort of just waiting on that. >> twlekz has been a tactic even before it became the administration when they were -- >> yeah. i mean, that's something he's done -- that is a tried and true -- it's not just donald trump. candidates do it. >> this time it's on steroids. cnn is also just learning that former foreign policy adviser carter page confirmed in closed door testimony that he did tel

paul, how do you see this case? is this one of these cases like billy carter, the brother's brother -- there's always a presidential, and i've catched this for decades now, that gets the president in trouble. sam houston johnson was one. and there's also the case we see in local problems cases where the father gets the son brought into the corruption or the wife brought into it. horrible cases. what is the line of authority here? is it the softer underbelly in the form of donald junior who thinks he's helping dad out and doesn't know what he's up to or is he designated to be the front man by the father? >> certainly something that prosecutors exploit. so mueller is being cold blooded with regard to michael flynn's son. he's doing this tough investigation may bring him up on charges. again, not so much because he cares about michael flynn, jr., but because he wants to get dad. again, if he find the special counsel mueller honing in on kushe er in ku ku kusher in -- kushner, the son-in-law, and donald trump, jr., it's all about the big guy. it's not all these trump operatives are meeting with these shady russian oper

and then obviously there's been discussion of paul manafort who played a very limited role for a very limited amount of time. >> carter page is an individual whom the president-elect does not know and put on notice months ago. >> i'm disappointed in jeff sessions. look, we'll see what happens. but i was -- i appointed a man to a position, and then shortly after he gets the position, he recused himself. i said, what's that all about? why didn't you tell me that you were going to do that and i wouldn't have appointed you. as far as my son is concerned, my son is a wonderful young man. he took a meeting with a russian lawyer, not a government lawyer, but a russian lawyer. it was a short meeting. it was a meeting that went very, very quickly, very fast. >> mr. president, do you remember george papadopoulos during that march meeting? >> i don't remember much about that meeting. it was a very unimportant meeting. don't remember much about it. >> with that, let's bring in our lead-off panel on a monday night. robert costa, national political reporter with the "washington post," moderator of washington week on pbs. nbc news p

paul ryan is urging all members to complete sexual harassment training although it's not mandatory. jackie spear is requiring such training for all members and staff. >>> first, new reaction from carter page on whether he knew about george papadopoulos's contacts with the russian campaign. >> he's someone i met and had a few brief conversations. >> did he ever mention about this meeting and the fact that the russians claimed they had dirt on hillary clinton. >> i don't remember any of that. >> in your time at the trump campaign, did you ever hear of anyone ever saying the russians have dirt on hillary, the russians have hillary's e-mails. >> not a word. >> not a word, never? >> no. >> now his comments come amid new details from his closed door testimony from the house intel committee when he said he in fact met with russian government officials this during a july 2016 trip to moscow. now someone who may have known about popapadopoulopapadopoulos conversations, jeff sessions. sessions apparently shot down a proposal from paoppo done pa lo. it is another drip in mueller's wide net investigation that continues to cast a shadow on the trump administration. this week's thyme m"time magazi

paul manafort. katty: luke, an alternative theory of all of this is that the trump campaign was certainly the most chaotic campaign i've ever covered in american presidential elections. people were freelancing. carter page may or may not, according to the dossier, have been meeting russian spies in moscow. but it is also quite plausible that donald trump knew nothing about that from the top down. and you have not uncovered evidence, have you, of a quid for the pro quo. that they promised to drop her sanctions relief if the russians gave dirt on hillary clinton. luke: there was a long-standing transactional relationship going back five or six years between trump and powerful russian state interests, and those of flow in both directions. there was information going from america to russia about russian oligarchs living in the united states. and they were politically helpful materials flowing back to trump. but you just have to look at what happened in the u.s. election, what happened with -- u.s. intelligence stole tens of thousands of democratic party e-mails, and dumped them out to help trump and seriously damage hillary clinton. what we now know thanks to the indictment by robert mueller, the speci

paul manafort, who worked for pro-russia ukrainian parties. and then this relatively obscure national security adviser named carter page, who is much more amenablescow than some of the hawks. you add into that michael flynn, the national security adviser, who putin had dinner with in moscow. just all of those links, from moscow's perspective, they had to be thinking, "wow, this is someone, at the very least, we can do business with." >> narrator: vladimir putin had another, special reason to be interested in the election. >> hillary clinton is trying to lock down the democratic nomination. >> narrator: hillary clinton. >> we've had some very tough dealings with one another. and i know that he's someone that you have to continually stand up to, because like many bullies, he is somebody who will take as much as he possibly can, unless you do. >> hillary clinton and donald trump are tightening... >> narrator: he believed clinton had crossed the line and interfered in russian politics during those anti-putin protests, and now, a chance to strike back. >> all the time, there is this probing that's going on, poking around in sensitive systems. >> narr

. >> the dossier alleges carter page was really russia's point person for the trump campaign and he was in direct contact with then chairman paul manafort. page has denied that on the record, and we have not seen independent evidence that challenges page's version of events. >> dana: catherine herridge, thank you for everything you've done this week. a full court press for the house republicans seeking report for the tax cut plan. house speaker paul ryan was on this show yesterday promoting the benefits. >> this is going to help us with our economic potential. more jobs, also means higher wages. by letting people keep more of their money, by cutting their tax rates and increasing child credit, that means you get bigger paychecks. that means you keep more of your own money in the paycheck in the first place. that's really good for families and really good for the economy. >> dana: mark short is an assistant to president trump. marc, thank you for being with us today. >> congratulations on the new show. questions for you. how do you feel about how the rollout when yesterday? day one is the easiest and the most fun. day two, it ge

carter page meets with the russians after denying he met with russians and the campaign said he was a nobody. donald trump jr. and paulafort and donald trump jr. are not noebs. maybe nobody in the meetings did anything wrong, but it's fascinating to listen to america's top spy and the nsa. listen to him describe how even if nothing comes of this in the criminal investigation, russia already won. >> we teach our case officers a step by step process. spot, assess, develop, recruit. now we have two instances. one with papadopoulos and the other in the summer of trump tower. the russian service already got through steps one and two. they were spotting and assessing. keep people in the trump campaign. that should make every american service. >> the point he was trying to make is russia already won and you have to be naive to take the meetings and he thinks it's a fair avenue to explore. >> woor to see how they are responding and about the news of social media and the relationships between russian officials and the the people in the trump circle. they are one news cycle from declaring these were all volunteers. saying they

carter page is significant as part of the mosaic. he is another piece in the developing picture along with george papadopoulos, paul manafort of these continuous contacts during the trump campaign with the russians. the trips to moscow, the conversations with the russian foreign ministry that george papadopoulos has acknowledged. offers of help, dirt from the russians to george papadopoulos, offers of e-mails, trips to russia to meet with high-ranking russian officials all form a picture. none itself alone fully persuasive and powerful but what's developing is a mosaic of potential collusion that the special counsel will be pursuing and i would anticipate we can expect more convictions and more indictments. >> contact is one thing. coordination, quite another. that would be the criminal mandate for the special counsel. let's see if he has the proof. senator, thank you very much. appreciate your appearing on the show, as always. >>> president trump says it's too soon to talk about gun violence. what's the solution? we ask the republican senator on the senate arms services committee next. will make tossing and turning a thing of the p

confidence in the president of united states and paul nan ma fort and rick gates and others in the midst of this. i have zero confidence in jorng papadopoulos or carter page or others invited into this village of a foreign policy unit and attended this meeting and recommended that the president do something completely idiotic. the problem we have here is this, that campaign, you were there, i was there with you. it was really understaffed. the whole thing, donald trump became the republican nominee because of the hard work of five central people who were with donald trump from the very beginning and donald trump wanted to keep it that lean. the problem with that kind of strategy, even though it work and those five people made it happen, it creates a tail wag behind the dog like bad mistakes putting together a pro forma group that was in reaction to media criticism that you didn't have enough people on the campaign. this is unfortunate, that's what happens when you try to run a campaign differently but nevertheless, i think the end of this campaign -- end of this investigation will prove that donald trump had no collusion with russia and the trump cam

roger stone, paul manafort who has been indicted, rick gates who has been indicted, michael flynn, under investigation, jared kushner, under scrutiny, jeff sessions, carter page who has been before all the committees, george papadopoulos who plead guilty and donald trump jr. who is under investigation. how does this idea that because jeff sessions meant the conversations about and with russians aren't about collusion which they don't even think is illegal, how is that a defense in any sort of legal context? >> it's not. look, the one thing that all these people have in common is when they are asked about their contacts with russians, whether it be in interviews, under oath to congress, they all lie about it initially. and then sessions comes back several times and tries to clean up the record. each time it's clumsy. you have him saying, i don't were this conversation with george papadopoulos but i know i shut down the suggestion that the president have a meeting. these two things don't square. one thing that's interesting about sessions we've learned, there have been a lot of people surprised when he told congress two weeks ago that bob mueller had not y

paul manafort back in court this afternoon after special counsel robert mueller indicted him. while on capitol hill, the house intelligence committee asks questions of the former trump campaign adviser, carter paige. we'll see how that went. let's get to it. the news is breaking indeed. a live look at the white house. the rose garden. the president is set to announce his nominee to run the federal reserve. some analysts call that the most important job in the country. the fed controls interest rates, so it affects everything from bank accounts to credit cards and your mortgage. it also has a very big influence on the stock market. another major story that will affect your wallet, the gop tax plan. house republicans jockeyed late into the night and now have released details of the proposal which calls for the biggest changes to the tax code in 30 years. we finally know what income levels fall under each tax bracket. listen up. here it is. the proposal includes a 0% tax bracket for individuals that make less than 20,000 a year. same goes for married couples that make less than $24,000. the next bracket is 12%. it's for individuals that make up to $45,000 and couples that make up to $90,000. a

paul manafort has anything incriminating to say. and some of the other people that we are learning a lot more about, such as papadopoulos and carter page. nor do we know if they have anything incriminating to say about president trump. one thing i think is going to be really critical at some point president trump is going to be interviewed. and one of the things that will be very, very critical is whether at the end what could be a very long wide ranging interview, special counsel concludes that president trump has said anything that is false or misleading. >> talking about carter page. let's play a little bit about what he said on cnn. >> you say you only met with academics when you were on your trip to russia. >> yes, a few business people i had known for over a decade, yeah. >> so krishna, i think what we are hearing from here, carter page, it was a nonmeeting meeting. whether it's a nonmeeting meeting or a real meeting what does this mean legally? >> legally one of the things bob mueller and his team will look at why was carter meeting with russians at all in russian and what did it have to do with the campaign. and look to find ou
