reuters says mueller's team has already interviewed him. meanwhile, there are also developments in robert mueller's fight to keep the judge in paul manafort's virginia case from tossing out some of the charges. today mueller's team gave the judge a full, unedited version of the justice department memo that lays out the scope of this inquiry and what crimes he is authorized to pursue. as we mentioned, the president weighed in today on twitter on the russia inquiry. here it is. congratulations, america. we are now into the second year of the greatest witch hunt in american history. there is still no collusion and no obstruction. a few hours later, there was this. wow, word seems to be coming out that the obama fbi -- we switch to caps here -- spied on the trump campaign with an embedded informant. if so, this is bigger than watergate. the rest of the message seems to have come directly from this interview with former federal prosecutor andrew mccarthy, who appeared on the president's favorite morning program. >> i've written a couple of colum

she told reuters, i faced severe sexual exploitation and harassment at the workplace. have you witnessed this kind of thing, have you done anything about it? you know, i mean, personally at a level where i'm making films or working in films, we are very clear about the attitude to women, even the smallest aspects of the names coming in the title first, which is not going to do anything, but the kind of respectability. that's the thing you started a few years ago. so that your female co—star, her name appears before yours. that's just an empty gesture isn't it? it is. you don't have to push me too far to agree to this. it's a way of trying to say, even this, small thing, needs to be done, just to bring about equality, see what we've reduced ourselves to. to put a girl's name in front to show, look, guys, we are thinking of them as equals. and that is sad. and that is strangely dichotomous when you're talking about creativity.

we're going to cross over to the south korean capital so waiting for us there reuters correspondent josh smith. june the twelve summit between donald trump and kim jong un has been all and off over the past couple of days is this a surprise meeting between the north and south korean leaders is this a signal that that summit in june may now definitely be back on it does send a very different sense of it than what we've seen over the past week or so which is obviously been threats by both north korea and the united states to call off this summit this does appear to put the united states in a position of needing to accept those talks or potentially face being just on the sidelines as the two koreas continue to negotiate with each other and how washington likely to react to this surprise meeting between the two korean leaders. well that's what we're all waiting to see trump as you mentioned has opened the door once again to the possibility that this summit will go forward half. so it does look like all sides at the moment are looking at ways that they can talk to each other and possibly find

possible but i have to say that from all the initial reports including the reuters report that does not seem to be the case it's possible we don't really know all the details so it's a little bit going out on a thin lives in trying to determine exactly what happened mine is really hard as it isn't hard facts but what we do know is that the u.s. is engaged routinely as a military force a military presence not just in the air but also on the ground in this part of syria and again we're not talking about just one area even if it's in the populated area even if it's a remote area we're talking about a contiguous piece of territory that i believe the u.s. considers to be is sphere of influence inside of syria. to what extent brian do you suspect these attacks like this will increase or the chances of major escalations will come in the near future. i think they will increase because i think. my tribe canceling the joint comprehensive plan of action and by it might pay you know the new u.s. secretary of state articulating these twelve unmeetable damien's for a run demands that have been set no
