. >> robert costa, this is all part of the michael cohen legal matter. you were on this broadcast when it first broke. you were part of a panel of people saying this is the one that could cause so much damage. maybe not being viewed right up there with the russia investigation, but when you look at what's in this case file, what michael cohen was still doing earlier this year, it's kind of incredible the breadth and scope of his resume for donald trump. >> indeed, brian. there's one level of the legal squabble with mr. avenatti and ms. daniels and mr. davidson, fighting over the context of the legal relationship, how this all played out in the fall of 2016. and that fight could continue for weeks, if not months. but the more important context is what does this mean for the southern district of new york? the u.s. district attorney's office as they move forward with that investigation? and when you look at what's going on with the mueller probe. any information about what happened during this payment and all the discussions, all the e-mails, the phone call

robert costa, national political reporter for "the washington post," moderator of "washington week" on pbs. and daniel goldman is back with us here in new york, former assistant u.s. attorney for the southern district of new york. well, matt, this is your beat. i think reuters came out with this story first tonight. you have since written and reported about it. tell us what you've learned, what we should know about this court filing tonight about paul manafort and what he is alleged to have been up to on the witness tampering front. >> just when you think you can, you know, put the news down for a minute, right? what happened was bob mueller's team filed a motion tonight and ge basically an emergency hearing to either revoke paul manafort's bond or basically rewrite and tighten the restrictions on him. they said that he has been, over the last several months, trying to get in contact with a pair of public relations officials who could, in turn, get in touch with some former european lawmakers who were doing lobbying work for paul manafort. it's a little bit complid, but in a nutshell w

yamiche, david corn, david jolly and the great robert costa, a man of few words. coming up, government watchdog reports find james comey made a serious error when he reopened the investigation of hillary clinton's e-mails days before the election. that's a move that helped trump win. why is trump trying to play victim here? he won because of the screwup. plus, republicans are feeling it the heat over trump's policy of separating children from their parents at the border. that is being called inhumane and even his allies are piping up against it. >>> and what if barack obama saluted a north korea general. >> the "hardball" roundtable tackles that and the cult of trump and the latest from far right ringleader, he's something else, stephen king. he famously said a lot of immigrants have calves the size of cantaloupes. who is measuring their calves for smuggling drugs? we finish tonight with trump watch. he won't like it. this is "hardball" where the action is. at fidelity, our online u.s. equity trades are just $4.95. so no matter what you trade, or where you trade,

robert costa, national political reporter with the "washington post," thank you very much. >> and to the point that you were just raising in terms of where we have just recently seen larry kudlow. we're watching this happen right now as we speak. president trump is in there one on one speaking with kim jong un. within 36 hours we've had this administration say there is a special place in hell for the canadian prime minister and it's an honor to be meeting with the dictator of north korea and we are going to have a terrific relationship. >> on "face the nation" yesterday it's just what you were talking about. that was a very hot show with "face the naths" yesterday with lawrence making that really over-the-top defense of the president. you could see the stress in his face. i don't think he was comfortable playing that part. but he was a bit of an attack dog there for the president. as robert just said, robert costa, people are so often forced to play the part of very, very aggressive defenders of the president. >> can i just say i know ewe not a fan of bush foreign policy. but we neve

i want to go to robert costa, just because you're a good trump reader. why did he go from being the guy who apologized basically for separating children from their parents in an about-face last week to a new about-face where he getting eeven nastier? >> we're a few months out before the midterm elections. republicans in congress, some of them want to focus on the tax law, but over at pennsylvania avenue, immigration, immigration, immigration. this is the issue that stokes the base. this is the issue people inside of the white house think can stop a democratic wave do. >> they believe it's enough? >> it could be enough. you look at his support among republicans, it's 90% in some polls. this is what the president says his base has to come out. they're not going to come out because of paul ryan's tax law. >> i understand the political thrust of it. i call it a bayonet thrust. but the question is how do you do this when the constitution so clearly gives rights to people in this country, whether citizen, documented or not. you have rights under the constituti

once again, from washington, robert costa. robert: president trump was prepared for a fight on friday when he arrived for the group of seven summit in canada. even before he left washington, he was confronting longtime allies over trade policy on twitter. he made headlines when he insisted that russia sho bd be invitedack into the club of industrial democracy. from bang why are we having a meeting without russia bei in the meeting. they should be part of it. >> president trump received a cordial but not overly warm greeting from the other leaders. tension has been escalating over new u.s. tariffs he put on imports of steel and aluminum last month. molly, the talk in canada -- is has been g -6 + 1. that the u.s. is deliberately out on a limb. why is he so committed to this approach? molly: he is simply pursuing the philosophy that he campaigned on om the start. this idea that his critics call isolationist, america fit or america alone, as you put it. that is, to the extent that he had a foreign policy pitch as a candidate, it wa

once again from washington, moderator robert costa. robert: president tru look back on this final week of june as one of the nt most signifif his term. the supreme court upheld his trave b and justice kennedy a pivotal swing voteas announced his retirement. and on friday the president said he would a make decision by monday july 9 and thatou escalate the fierce battle between democrats and republicans. >> nominated by a republican president ronald reagan in8 1 supreme court justice anthony kennedyon hasbeen referred to as the swing vote, a label he never liked. but his voting record supports his sometimes sentist and sometimes maverick reputatio kennedy voted with conservatives, but during his 0 years othe bench he sided on casesab involving tion rights including the 2015 landmark which legalized same hiff sex marriage. >> they asked for equal opportunity. robert: the 80-year-old sworn in his former clerk neil gorsuch. kennedy's retirement clears the way forresident trump to name his second supreme court justice. the president is expect

joining me now is robert costa, moderator of "washington week," and carol lee, political reporter whoeported this story. carol, we've seen this coming, and it has something to do with the configuration of the national security cabinet. but it's telling given south korea, the joint exercises. this was a concession to kim jong-un at the table in singapore. without consulting the defense secretary. >> right. and even when we spoke to people inside the white house and they were addressing each of the points in the story, a white house official said, well, you know, mattis knew that it was possible that trump may do something like this. but the president was in the meeting with the leader of north korea, and just made the decision. so he had to then inform another colleague, another administration official that told the defense secretary that this had happened. and you had to then find a way to prepare for that. >> and robert costa, it's the ad hoc way that this administration conducts foreign policy, there isn't a process, they don't have meetings to hash out these issues. this is not the
