well steve wynn said that he was stepping down as finance chairman of the republican national committee because he didn't want to be a distraction to president trump or the party when it is a billionaire casino owner who is the latest person to get swept up in the sexual harassment scandal that has been sweeping the u.s. . and actually president romney has been rivals at one point in the casino business when the president trump only can see you know in atlantic city but they were friendly and he was tapped by the president to come on as the finance chairman when the president took office last year but he said that he could not stay on again because he didn't want to be a distraction going into these highly contentious midterm elections coming up in the fall he most recently held fund raising events at the president's mar a lago retreat in florida and had also had a recent fund raising event in new york city but because the republican party had been so critical of the democrats for their close relationship with harvey weinstein when staying on his spine announced chairman just really was

if i may chris, the point you made about him being the republican national committee's finance chair and all those pictures with donald trump and the things he said about donald trump, it's not like the republican national committee like wynn resorts as a board of directors where they can vote steve wynn out of that job. only one person can tell steve wynn not to be the republican finance chair anymore. it's not the chairwoman of the rnc. it's the guy at 1600 pennsylvania. >> yeah, and we still radio silence from the rnc so far. the stock price. this paints a picture of a pretty awful pattern and some truly had vial acts there. you should read thatter to. obviously, wynn has issued his own denial. jon ralston, thank you very much. still to cop, a republican cosponsor of a bill to protect robert mueller from donald trump is now changing his tune. plus, the president has the best memory primarily when it comes to telling you when he has the best memory. thing 1, thing 2 starts next. hi, i'm the internet! you know what's difficult? armless bowling. you got this, jimmy! you know what's ea

from the chairman of the rnc, who says today i have accepted steve wynn's resignation as republican national committee finance chair. so that pretty much said it all, david. look, steve wynn as you mentioned is a casino magnate. he is also a big-time republican donor. he has in the past donated to democratic causes, but he was a supporter of president trump. he played a huge role in the convention and in the election of donald trump as president. the question we're looking for now is to what degree, if any, did president trump play a role in steve wynn's decision to step aside, coming a day after "the wall street journal" released that bombshell report. "the wall street journal" having interviewed, it says, 150 people, at least 12 employees of wynn's empire detailed episodes of sexual misconduct, including one that resulted in a $7.5 million settlement. and so as many people have pointed out, issues of sexual misconduct,i misconduct, sexual harassment are not partisan issues but that has not kept this from being a partisan issue in washington. you have democrats saying republicans should hand back the

and it should be said that you ran the republican party national committee at a time when mitt romneyg a front runner... mitt romney, john mccain... you had these years, the 2008 election, 2012 election where the republicans simply couldn't find a viable winner, and donald trump... i disagree with the concept that they weren't viable winners. they were certainly viable in the sense that they ran competitive campaigns, but the problem was that the last little bit, as you know in politics, is about connection. you can have the best papers in the world. hillary clinton's a great example of it — policy up the wazoo, but at the end of the day, it's that connection with the voters that has to be genuine enough to pull you through, and that was something that was missing at the end of both of those campaigns. which brings us to the present day. if you are saying to me that despite your reservations, which you had from the very beginning of the trump phenomenon, despite your reservations, you could see that this guy had a special ability to connect. let us bring it to the present and ask — wh
