so, you know, rudy giuliani in a shocking development is wrong again. mcghan didn't save the president from committing obstruction of justice. mcghan saved the president from completing the crime of obstruction of justice. but an endeavor is sufficient. so it's absolutely obstruction. frankly, the mueller report lays out a compelling case for obstruction. not just that instant, but many more. asking people to lie and directing firings and asking for the unrecusal of other officials. so it's adaming report. >> let me ask you something, i think the rest of us have a clear understanding of how don mcghan functioned inside the white house, but none of us understand how don mcghan functioned as essentially an informant for robert mueller. >> mcghan was cited many times in the report and spent as we know 30 hours with investiga investigators. i was thinking about this. the president historically used his lawyers to commit crimes, roy cohn, michael cohen, the president sees lawyers as a conduit to criminal conduct. maybe not surprising that he would turn to do

rudy giuliani is here. >>> plus the "i" word. as democratic leaders push for more information -- >> still want the mueller report in its entirety and we want other evidence, too. >> some already see a road map to impeachment. >> it's my responsibility to >> i'm my responsibility to speak out. >> how will other presidential contenders respond? 2020 candidate congressman tim ryan, in moments. hello. happy easter and happy passover. i'm jake tapper in washington where the state of our union is praying for sri lanka. we have a lot of politics to get to this morning, including an interview with president trump's attorney rudy giuliani, but i want to begin with horrific breaking news out of sri lanka, an island nation off the coast of india. hundreds of people are injured or dead this morning, after eight coordinated bombings across the country this easter sunday. explosions occurred at churches as worshippers attended easter mass. there were bombings at three hotels popular with foreign tourists and dozens of foreigners among the dead

joining me, president trump's personal attorney rudy giuliani. first of all, happy easter. >> happy easter. >> you said the rebuttal to the mueller report is ready to go. your colleague, jay sekulow, says he doesn't think you'll need to put out a rebuttal at all. >> we were ready to go if we thought a lot of the issues were left open, too open. right now they seem to be okay. we're ready to put it out when we have to. >> not necessarily going to put it out? >> i think the odds are it will get out at some point. for example, you have testimony coming up. i know the attorney general is going to testify. i know mueller is going to testify. i assume people like mcgahn will testify. there will be a point at which we'll put it out. >> not tomorrow. >> not tomorrow, not the next day. then we'll see. we'll see what happens. >> i want to start off by saying congratulatio congratulations. the mueller report concluded that there is insufficient evidence that the president or anybody on his team conspired criminally with the russians. that's good news, but i

>> i agree with rudy giuliani.th taking information from a foreign government. as americans we should never tolerate a foreign nation having influence over our democracy. having influence over the way we make our decisions, deciding who becomes president of the united states. we should not tolerate it. if it's not legal we should make it illegal. this is where we need to go when it comes to oversight >> how about something less than impeachment? are you and your colleagues considering, say, a formal censu censure, something that sends a message to americans that you won't stand for what you have seen in the mueller report but doesn't go as far as the all-consuming impeachment? >> to me, all of the options are on the table. at the end of the day, i will make my decision as to how i vote based on the facts that i will see. based on the facts the american public are going to see on television as we address these issues in committee. >> congressman, while we have you, i want to ask about the terror attack in sri lanka.

and rudy giuliani makes the distinction in his comment there.ything illegal about it or is anything wrong about it? those are two different distinctions you can talk about ethics and what the law is. look, rudy giuliani is either just being extremely quaint, or what he's doing is he's supporting his employers in the white house. i'll leave that to viewers to figure out. if anybody came to me and said i'm a candidate for office or i'm a politician hear in the united states, or i'm considering running or even if i'm a rich businessman, i would argue very -- they need to be very thoughtful and careful about who they deal with talking about the russian government or any other adversarial nation. the russians are poised to take advantage of this. >> when you watch the interview with rudy giuliani being asked if he would take money from a foreign source. he said he wouldn't and would have advised against it out of an abundance of caution. so why advise someone not to do something is there is, quote, nothing wrong. >> there's clearly from a counterinte

but rudy giuliani is playing the spin cycle., i mean, the notre dame fire was less tha a week ago, that feels it was in the kcrut o o us era, they want to move on and i think he's opening a huge can of worms going forward that we're now legitimizing hacking in and of itself. >> so that if a campaign in 2020, 2024 gets information from a foreign adversary, that accord to giuliani was trg , as l what was hacked by a foreign government and given to you was true it's usable. >> neeveryo going to have their own suwallenpaupacpac pa s interference? >> iteration just signal the russians, rey, help us find. go found emails.te buttigieg >> are we financing this -- none of us are, rudy giuliani is trying to.hy that's w it is incumbent on lawmakers on, presidential candidates, people in the political sphere to make sure that does not become acceptable to amy's point. >> d buttigieg's emails will be in norwegian so it's not a problem. >> jerrold nadler said he does think the offenses are impeachable. then heap said the caveat -- assuming th

i would have to ask rudy giuliani would he be okay if someone like beto o'rourke were found to get stolen information from the iranians and using it against the republicans. i would assert that rudy would have a major problem taking information from an adversary if the other party were doing it. the standards have been reset, it's disingenuous and it's not making any sense. and with regard to ken's point of the mindset of the special counsel and the attorney general did not serve us well. it's clear they were both applying a criminal standard, trying to meet criminal elements of a criminal statute and that's what this isn't about. and that's why people feel we don't have the answers we need. >>> and rudy giuliani, of course, one of the people still working for the president of the united states, unlike many of the people who were cited in this report and the president is reportedly very angry about, i want to read from this piece that phil co-wrote for "the washington post." he writes, quote, the vivid portrait that emerges from mueller's 448-page report of a presidency plagued by pair kn

jane harmon, what rudy giuliani said was surprising. what he's ceased to surprise most americans. >> yeah, it was. his argument is that if money didn't transfer from the russians to the trump campaign, there was no violation of the election laws. therefore, no problem. any other information can transfer on any other basis. well, whoops, a couple thoughts. counterintelligence. there's an investigation going on right now wit itingly or unwittingly or members of his election campaign or after that could have become agents of a foreign power. number two, fake news. if fake news transfers and is propagated here, that's an influence operation, which is totally unfair if not illegal. point three, compromise. that's information about public officials in compromising situations. something the russians are good at and having that stuff out is not only embarrassing to these public officials. but so muy view is that rudy giuliani is putting his flag up too early. . >> he said a lot of his time. any presidential candidate would have taken it. >> he'

dig into rudy giuliani's comments from over the weekend. the president's lawyer thinks taking information from russia during a campaign is not wrong. speaking of russia, last night, john oliver outlined some of the most ridiculous details in the mueller report, including michael cohen's struggle with email. >> from the very beginning, he was inept. he reached out to putin's spokesperson but couldn't get out. he actually emailed dot gof instead, which takes dwrou "game of thrones" where families fight for control of the seven sandbars. it starts in june. this network is [ bleep ]. june. this network is [ bleep ]. we need a solution. introducing... smartdogs. the first dogs trained to train humans. stopping drivers from: liking. selfie-ing. and whatever this is. available to the public... never. smartdogs are not the answer. but geico has a simple tip. turn on "do not disturb while driving" mode. brought to you by geico. when didwhen i needed ton? jumpstart sales. build attendance for an event. help people find their way. fastsigns designed n

rudy giuliani is playing a spin cycle. feels like it was in the cretaceous si cretaceous cycle. they think they can punt it i think he's opening a huge can of worms going forward that we're legitimizing hacking in and of itself. >> so that if a campaign in 2020, 2024 gets information from a foreign adversary, that according to giuliani was true, as long as what was hacked by a foreign government and given to you was true, then it's usable. >> so, everybody's going to have they super pack with foreign intelligence. >> that is clear as long as -- who am i to say? who am i to say? >> did rudy giuliani just signal the russians to help us now? >> he may have. but the question you asked before the break, are we normalizing this idea of foreign interference in the elections. no, none of us do. this is incumbent on lawmakers to make sure that does not become acceptable. >> also buttigieg emails would be norwegian, so not a problem. >> jarld nadler thinks he's offenses are impeachable and said the caveat assuming we prove obstructi

rudy giuliani says, "testify if you want. not a problem." the politics -- which is obviously super interesting. i'm really interested in how bill barr started his press conference this morning. the attorney general going through the initial reason that we have this investigation in the first place, that russia tried to interfere in our election. he goes through and talks about how they tried to manipulate the media using wikileaks also -- even though it conspiracy, this was all in this report. and then to get to the part about paul manafort sharing information about the trump campaign during the election, in the summer before november of 2016. sharing information, internal information that "the wall street journal" actually reported on earlier on. some of the reporting was obviously way off in the last two years. but some of it was spot on. >> bill: that statement is now that the collusion of instruction in conspiracy theories have been exposed, as they always were. the obama-era doj and fbi must answer for their misdeeds and the skin that t

a lawyer for mcgahn responded, it's a mystery why rudy giuliani feels the need to re-litigate incidentseneral and deputy attorney general have concluded were not obstruction. on "meet the press," giuliani went further. >> why isn't the president -- why isn't the president angry at the russians? why is he so angry at bob mb mcgahn? the russians tried to show his campaign wasn't legitimate. >> why wouldn't you be upset with someone that tried to accuse you of treason. >> what a weekend, everybody. nadler says he will call don mcgahn to testify. also president trump's claims of total exoneration are ringing hollow with the public as a poll finds. in the wake of the mueller report's release, his rating dropped to a new low this year. conducted friday after the redacted report's release shows the approval rate has sunk to 37%. down six points from where it was just after a.g. barr released his letter. that's his worst performance in this poll in more than a year. joining me again is daniel litman. and here at the table author of the book "the oath and the office: a guide to the constitution

meantime, the president's attorney, rudy giuliani was on the sunday morning talk shows.poke with jake tapper on state of the union. jake asked him about behavior outlined in the mueller report, specifically whether it was ethical or moral. >> any candidate in the whole world in america would take information. >> from a hostile foreign source? >> there's nothing wrong with taking information from russians. it depends on where it came from. you're assuming that the giving of the information is a campaign contribution. the report says we can't conclude that because the law is pretty much against that. >> the strategy from the president's legal team is one we have seen before. they are questioning the credibility of people cited in mueller's report as they accept the report's general findings. we should point out house speaker nancy pelosi is scheduled to hold a conference call with the democratic caucus at 5:00 p.m. on monday to talk about the possibility of pursuing impeachment. david and michelle. >> thank you so much, boris. >>> a former u.s. attorney in manhattan says t

>> people have been saying for weeks that rudy giuliani maybe lost it. some people say he's crazy like a fox. this might be one of the examples where rudy giuliani is doing what he's done for the president for the last year and change which is basically moving the goal posts in the public sphere. changing the debate about what's wrong and what's right. on pen and paper, what he's saying in the clip is it is not illegal. as a result of that it's permissib permissible. you can't criticize president trump for that. that's a political argument aimed at undermining the talk about impeachment we have been talking about. i wouldn't be surprised if you hear the president's allies echoing that. at the same time there are people who are president trump's allies who have been saying for a long time. this is obviously inappropriate. it was clearly something they should not have been open to. you can't get around it. they are trying to change the public narrative to tamp down criticism leading to the impeachment debate, particularly in the house >> but on pen and pap

you heard rudy giuliani there. of the message and what he's doing and what do you understand of that? >> i think that the consistent strategy from trump and his team has been to throw every possible argument at the wall at the same time and hope that something sticks or hope to simply confuse everyone, and when challenged on any part of the argument go to another argument so giuliani saying there's nothing wrong with this. well, i wouldn't have done it. well, it's not about immorality, and so i think to a lot of people that this is confusing or unconvincing? but i think, of course, a lot of americans agree with him, that the investigation was centered upon the idea of a conspiracy between trump and russia. mueller did not find sufficient evidence to establish such a conspiracy, and so the details are more or less irrelevant. >> and, liz, what do you make of the message from giuliani, you know, that it's not an issue of immorality, that there are a host of other reasons why the president was a victim in all of this?

and if rudy giuliani and if the house leaves this alone now, what rudy said to you would become the new norm. >> there is a world of democrats, i think they're in the minority, but democratic officials who say, we need to play the game that donald trump is playing. we need to attack people the way he's attacking and get in the mud and i haven't heard them say this. i would imagine if it's okay to do this, why not. and then we all just start running down this road. >> well, that's the biggest concern here. is if you start to say conduct of the campaign is acceptable, it paves the way to become the new norm. with respect to rudy giuliani's comments, i think it's notable that while the president has maintained all along that there was no collusion, his attorneys and his supporters, including giuliani, had gone from initially saying there was no collusion to saying over the course of the past few months, collusion's not a crime. and i think they did that because they were effectively trying to frame the narrative for when the mueller report did become public. and just based on what we had a

did his campaign. >> guys, i want to play another clip from that interview by jake tapper with rudy giulianiwhere giuliani takes issue with the then-white house counsel don mcgahn and his account that he told -- that the president told him to order the firing of the special counsel robert mueller. take a listen. >> are you suggesting mcgahn is lying? >> no. i'm telling you. he's confused. three different versions. the special prosecutor comes to the conclusion, he's definitively telling the truth, and his lawyer is saying -- his lawyer should tell us which of those three versions is true. and how do you know which one is true now when he couldn't figure it out then? >> we know from mueller's report now that mcgahn did take notes of the president telling him to do that. so what's giuliani talking about? >> giuliani really needs to keep his mouth shut. honestly, you know, don mcgahn, i disagree with him on many issues but he's a very serious lawyer. i don't think anyone would seriously question the fact he took, as you point ourkt, he to contemporaneous notes. he told the fbi the truth of what

one thing that rudy giuliani is talking about is the idea and i'm paraphrasing. it's okay if other countries interfere if the information that they give is accurate. here he is saying that. >> there is nothing wrong with taking information from russians. depends on where it came from. >> it is okay for political campaigns to work with material stolen by foreign adversaries. >> it depends on the stolen material. >> cynthia, if you're sitting in the kremlin and you're in china right now and beijing, how are you hearing that and should americans be worried about that kind of language? >> americans should be very worried about that language. it means it's open season to interfere in the american election. whatever was left of rudy giuliani's reputation has now just swirled down the last bit of the drain. that's just a shocking thing for a law enforcement person to say. i mean, he had a great reputation as a law enforcement officer and now he's just a pathetic excuse. >> cynthia, i don't know where to go on that piece as you vividly put it. i mean, it's so depressing

. >> president trump's lawyer, rudy giuliani, said on cnn's state of the union there was nothing wronga presidential candidate excepting information from roster -- from russia. the stray shark rebuke -- a sharp rebuke from another guest on the program. >> any candidate in the whole world and america would take information -- >> from a hostile foreign source? it is legal? did the information cannot be false? the information it was clean and disseminated, every newspaper printed it. post andhe washington the information it came from a foreign source when they knew it was hacked? for doingust as wrong that as the campaign wanted to use that? >> why did you call mitt romney a hypocrite. >> there is nothing wrong with taking information from russians it depends where it came from. >> on the question of whether or not it is ok to take the russians, i pressure that will be -- that rudy giuliani's role is to use -- to stick up for the present but he should pause and think about what he is saying as advocate for a president who he claims is exonerated. that we that it is ok, should be telling f

. >> mike: back with me, rudy giuliani. i want to bring in joseph digenova, former u.s. attorney as well as robert ray, former whitewater independent counsel. joe, let me start with you. bob woodward was no trump fan for sure and certainly not a card-carrying member of the republican national committee. basically he was saying, this was the work of john brennan. >> there is no doubt, this is pretty simple stuff for career prosecutors like rudy and myself. it has been evident from day one that there was a brazen plot to exonerate hillary clinton illegally and then if she lost the election to frame

release a redacted version of bob mueller's final report tomorrow and president trump's lawyer rudy giulianis the president's legal team is putting the finishing touches on a rebuttal. in an interview with the associated press giuliani said their document will be dozens of pages d long. giuliani says it will be published in the hours after the release ofd mueller's report o russianll interference into the 2016 presidential election. now, giuliani even went as far as to text a reporter from "politico" at 2:54 a.m. on tuesday about.m the size of the president's counterreport, saying it was at least 34 or 35 pages long, adding, quote, the more concise the better. 400 pages is a novel. nbc news has also learned that house intelligence committee chair adam schiff and ranking member devin nunes sent a joint letter last month asking for a briefing from special counsel bob mueller. according to the letter which was obtained by nbc news they also asked for access to all materials obtained or produced by the special counsel's office. and once the mueller report becomes public the document will be med

don mcgahn was attacked by rudy giuliani in some of rudy giuliani's public comments because don mcgahness against donald trump in the mueller report. don mcgahn, white house counsel taking notes in virtually all of his conversations with the president, don mcgahn was given the orders to fire the special prosecutor. he wouldn't do it. don mcgahn is possibly as i said the the most important source in the mueller report. of course, rudy giuliani starred attacking him. and tonight, don mcgahn's lawyer william burck issued a statement saying it's a mystery why rudy giuliani feels the need to relitigate what the attorney general and deputy attorney general have concluded were not obstruction but they are accurately described in the report. don nevertheless appreciates that the president gave him the opportunity to be as white house counsel and assist him with his signature accomplishments. and so here we have now the first public crack in the mcgahn wall. >> well, what you see there is him trying to have it both ways in a way. i actually think don mcgahn came out of the report looking very c

rudy giuliani is with us rudy giuliani is with us tonight. when we started our business we were paying an arm and a leg for postage. i remember setting up shipstation. one or two clicks and everything was up and running. i was printing out labels and saving money. shipstation saves us so much time. it makes it really easy and seamless. pick an order, print everything you need, slap the label onto the box, and it's ready to go. our costs for shipping were cut in half. just like that. shipstation. the #1 choice of online sellers. go to shipstation.com/tv and get 2 months free. >> sean: earlier this week the senate adopted a resolution declaring the border crisis an emergency in texas. i've been down there 12 or 14 times showing you it is an emergency. lawrence jones has been at the u.s./mexico border in laredo texas all week for us. last night he joined the border patrol watching the arrests of several groups of illegal immigrants. take a look. >> over here, over here. [speaking spanish] >> sean: joining us now fox news contributor, investigati

it is rich to hear rudy giuliani's defense saying look, the president never intended for the actions to be carried out. the president followedthat is a defense from giuliani and though mcgahn did not directly respond to that. his people were upset what giuliani was saying. >> kevin, your read on mcgahn? is that who the president's tweet is referencing by saying statements made about me by certainly people are fabricated? probablycgahn. who else? >> the sub tweet of all sub tweets. i agree with jeff of where the president's frustration is lying with don mcgahn. the question for the administration officials will have to come out of reading this. in particular the president's mood as shannon and bloomberg reported. will he turn against those folks in the report who were going against him to the mueller investigation? now the white house has said no, of course, but behind-the-scenes, that could be painted a different picture. in the coming weeks ahead, the next data points on the story line where bob mueller testifies before congress and republicans have called on the special counsel to d

unless it's illegal, rudy giuliani is laughing all the way back to his cherry pie at the white house.oes wrongdoing actually count? don mcgahn is a perfect example. the chief white house counsel, people are saying this guy is a hero, he protected the american people -- >> because he didn't agree to commit a crime. >> the president asked him to committee a crime and he didn't do it. and he also didn't report it at the time. he took the notes and put them in a drawer in the event that he was going to get questioned by someone like robert mueller and then he pulled them back out to protect himself. that is not a whistleblower who is protecting the american people. >> right. it gets very dicey when you ask the question, what responsibility does a person have, for example, don mcgahn, to report the attempted wrongdoing of others. i'd like to go back to ali's litany of words, wrong, immoral, unethical, improper. but i do think where it comes home to roost is now that we know that trump engaged in all sorts of first improper conduct, even if bob mueller couldn't quite conclude that his coord

here to talk about it is trump's attorney rudy giuliani and kelly and conway what a show but first mypen. are you fed up yet more than two years on stopped precedented maligning by the media by the high-level obama administration officials and disgruntled and arrange democrats over a commander-in-chief as an agent of a foreign government. a treasonous dictator. all because they'd despise the outsider president we put in the office. enough. the system worked in the process is over. occlusion. note - - no collusion. enough families destroyed. they took down people having nothing to do with russia and they never prosecuted anyone on the campaign or even an american for collusion. all the while remaining focused determined to execute the mission to which he was elected. you ever seen a man faced the onslaught of incoming every day as the haters attempt to take down his family saying they would be indicted any minute and still forge ahead on american's behalf? it makes our economy stronger and the country safer. have you ever seen a man willing to poke the eye of the tiger not claiming exe

what rudy giuliani said, that it's okay to go out and seek help from the russians.ileaks hack is the new norm and that's the acceptable way to run a presidential campaign. by the way, part of the concern is what bill bar did in his press conference. it would be one thing if at the end of a congressional investigation congress exerted its own will and decided not to hold the president accountable. you've had the very head of the justice department kind of excuse interference with the justice department's investigation. that sets a very -- i don't know if it's impeachment, censure or other presidents will feel it's okay to do this exact behavior. >> seems rather self-evident. thank you very much. >>> coming up, if you don't succeed, try, try, try again. we talk joe biden's 2020 presidential bid next. every day, visionaries are creating the future. so, every day, we put our latest technology and unrivaled network to work. the united states postal service makes more e-commerce deliveries to homes than anyone else in the country. e-commerce deliveries to homes car vendin

to me from rudy giuliani from the entire legal team. uliani, sekulow and the other two. oil he read you a little bit. the results of the investigation are a total victory for the president. the report underscores what we've argued from the very begin. there was no collusion or obstruction. but they aren't so charitable about the mueller report itself. it says the report itself is nothing more than an attempt to rehash old allegations despite the fact that it is reiterated by the department of justice, inspector general. neither the f.b.i. or department prosecutors are per misted to -- basically they are oef saying anything that is negative in this report goes against justice department guidelines. a big argument with the case of james comey and hillary clinton in july of 2016. you either decide you will prosecute or you won't prosecute. you don't put out a lot of dirt on somebody you aren't going to prosecute. this report is just going to be something we pour over for a long period of time. one of the interesting issues in here has alway

and in just moments, we will be joined by president trump's attorney rudy giuliani. now, first before we dive into our expert panel analysis, i want to give you my takeaways from the mueller report and a few things that you need to keep in mind. number one, the president and his team -- they went above and beyond in their transparency in dealing with the special counsel's office. this openness in it of itself cuts against any suggestions you might be hearing on the other cables of obstruction of justice. my friends, if trump wanted to obstruct justice, he wouldn't have waived executive privilege. if you don't know what that is, it's the doctrine which would have shielded much of the president's internal communications from investigators and from the public. but he didn't do that. in fact, i would argue -- remember, i was a former criminal defense lawyer myself, clerked at the court. i would argue that the president's team may have gone overboard in giving barr much information. but anyway, this demonstrates the president's supreme confidence in his own innocence at t

his personal lawyer, rudy giuliani says his team is ready to release a rebuttal when we have to.l rebuttal as he does on twitter, back to slamming the mueller investigation, calling it a total hit job. so that brings me to our weekly segme segment, eli, we have a number of questions from viewers from your readers, the first one is pointing out that the mueller team spent two years on this investigation. so why do we need a summary? why did we need a summary that was presented by attorney general bill barr? >> we got the mueller report this week, we got a lot of questions answered. somehow it refers to bill barr's summary as meaningless. it would be a step up from what we've got. now that we've seen the mueller report, bill barr's summary and press conference were misleading and distorted. i'll give you a couple examples. obstruction of justice, bill barr told us, mueller didn't decide, which leaves it to me, the attorney general, and i vote thumbs down. then we see mueller's report, seems like they were trying to send the obstruction question over to congress. congress's inherent

intelligence let me ask you this when you let me also his question just to be clear the president rudy giuliani said a few days ago quote there's nothing wrong with taking information from russians and you seem to be suggesting everyone already or anybody else ok so you're both in agreement you're in the so on that basis come to twenty twentieth's action are you really there for ok with buddy saunders or joe biden or whoever the democratic presidential candidate is calling for china to hot dog e-mails on his tax returns are. you ok with. this kids holding a secret meeting with the representatives of the iranian government to get dirt on donald trump are you ok with that seriously. have you never worked on a campaign before you know how this works you dig up dirt where you can get it and there is nothing illegal about it and you have. evidence there is not exactly my question so you're ok with the democratic candidate next china please hack donald trump's e-mails you're ok with. that is not what john armstrong did he did not go to the they have truly said things russia find hillary clinton's e-m

story this weekend, julie really judy really rudy giuliani speaking for the first time that since he has obama era officials spied on the trump campaign. i'm ed henry, and for martha maccallum, and this is "the story." despite all the democratic talk, standing up for the poor and middle-class, they are expanding to present all hopefuls looking like the game "who wants to be a millionaire?" elizabeth warren's $900,000 income, pretty close. the latest contestant, bernie sanders, just told "the new york times," i wrote a best-selling book. if you write a best-selling book, you can be a millionaire too. sounds pretty cool. in the same breath, sanders actually blaming the media for president trump selection. yes, you heard it right. the media goes after the president pretty much all the time. actually elected him. because reporters did not pay enough attention to the struggling middle class. >> my criticism of the media, i get very angry at this, one of the reasons he was elected president and people turn on the tv, nobody is talking about the lives of working-class people, black-and-whit

and, of course, rudy giuliani saying there's nothing wrong with taking information from the russians, then why when the white house was first confronted when "the new york times" was going to report don junior and jared kushner met in the tower, they gave misleading information about what that was about. if they thought nothing was wrong, why didn't they say it. >> what about you? >> this is a classic case. if one of president obama's kids had met with a russian lawyer in trump tower or obama tower before a campaign and taken information from russians that was damaging to his opponent, there is no way that mayor giuliani or any other senior republican would be saying that this is okay and it's only a criminal matter, it's not a moral matter. i think we're in a situation here where demps are the party that is having to evaluate this on their own because republicans are not breaking ranks from the fact that if the president is not to the letter of the law, guilty of a crime, which the reports suggests that he's not, then they are going to stick with him and not criticize him. >> go ahe

trump lawyer ruud rudy giuliani told our jake tapper it may be after don mcgahn testifies for congress giuliani from attacking credibility. >> a lot of what cohen, they recite what cohen says as if it's the truth. cohen is incapable of telling the truth. >> what specifically? >> i'll tell you specifically. that we dangled a pardon in front of cohen. we did not dangle a pardon in front of cohen. it wasn't a fair report. it wasn't like the normal prosecutor. when you find a person didn't commit the crime, you then go look at the hypothesis, how did it come about, how did it start. no examination of how could the fbi have started the investigation of a presidential candidate based on those ten words that were said to papadopoulos. >> white house correspondent boris sanchez is with us from near the president's florida resort, mar-a-lago, where he just spent the weekend and has just left. boris, giuliani in that interview with jake also offering a curious view about contact with russian. >> yeah, alex, that's one way to describe it. giuliani effectively scoffed at jake's questions about eth

. >> melissa: holding up the report, here is rudy giuliani. >> the president of the united states was an innocent man being charged with something that he did not do. you have to grant that now when they say no proof of underlying crime, there was no obstruction. nothing was denied, and nobody crushed cell phones like hillary data, nobody deleted 33,000 emails like hitler's people did, and nobody bleached the server like hillary did. >> melissa: democrats out this weekend, you saw jerry nadler saying that there is proof, enough proof of obstruction to warrant impeachment when he was pressed, he a grade yes, that was the case. is this a good move? >> ari: [laughs] do it, that is my message to the democrats, if you morally and legally believed that the president obstructed justice, you have no choice but to proceed, so let them proceed and do this. this is not law, this is not morality, this is a man they do not like and they are accepting as a president, and now that it has come out and showing that there is no collusion, it does not matter, there should have been, they cannot resist,

and he said it, my old boss rudy giuliani said it.ne to take stolen material brought to you by russian spies to use in a campaign. it's fine to use in wisconsin, michigan, ohio, pennsylvania. it's all good. they've decided they're just completely nihilistic about it, and they're going to have a clear path ahead in their minds. as long as donald trump is happy they're going to be happy. >> for viewers just tuning in, who've been maybe in a drug induced coma for two years we're talking about russia and republican party attitudes towards russia. does that ever blow your mind still? >> i grew up in the cold war. and as the last generation of people who -- while there was still a soviet union, it was always clear this was a country that was our global adversary. we tried really hard for a while to pretend it wasn't, but everything they've done in crimea, in georgia, in ukraine, across europe and around the world they've acted as a global foe to our country. donald trump acts when he's with vladimir putin like a star struck schoolgirl. he m

on the note, rudy giuliani, great to have you here in washington.head after days of being battled by the press joe biden defends himself and that's not stopping the story, on deck, the pam weighs on bob mueller's come plaining about attorney general and major leak to the new york times >> joining us to analyze mueller report and prosecutors being pressured and unhappy, holy hemmingway, gillian turner in washington, democratic official and fox news contributor who runs georgetown's university institute of politics. molly, just like i asked giuliani, mueller has run tight ship, suddenly, clearly we have bad stuff on donald trump. >> well, i first degree -- agree that the lack of leaking was a soft story. sure, sure, that's overblown statement that they weren't leaking. what's interesting here and i thought in second paragraph of new york times story you have mueller affiliates say they are upset that they didn't get the set the narrative, the fact that narrative is part of their role is something that should be looked at critically, it's not dispassio

kennedy: and they are and rudy giuliani figured that out. thank you for being here. excellent. is next. kennedy: democratic president canned dated andrew yang announced holograms of himself to hold multiple rallies at one time. the plan caused thousands of voter to ask who is andrew yang. raise your hand. this is topic storm topic number one. let us start tonight in washington where the calendar says spring but it feels like fall. look at that. barely escaping. the couple went on a road trip and winded up doing some window shopping after the wind blew down the utility poll on to the car. they had to be treated for ptsd because emma nem was on the radio. way for interesting, you guys. 5 million people have watched video of the road trip ruckus probably because it's a crazy scene and it's nice to see someone falling in the polls other than elizabeth warren. topic number two. a pilot flew from niagara falls to long island and afterward he was really wired. uh-oh. this plane lost power during the flight only to find it during landing. all three people were unhurt. the bad news they

and rudy giuliani will be here live.mo's show ten minutes ago, kenneth starr will be here. according to two sources something similar happened in his wife, newt gingrich was just in rome, gothic at his perspective on the vatican, the church burning in notre dame, and scandal and recovering from it, bill clinton wrote the book on it. can donald trump do the same thing? sarah carter at the forefront of the investigation, talking to investigate the investigators, where we go from here and mark levine gets up early for one reason, to look at the mueller report and to see us in person. it will be great. plus it is good friday. one of the best in the business, if i could call the world of church a business. timothy cardinal dolan who happens to be a cardinal, will be here. he is here to spread an easter message and talk about the tragic fire at notre dame. it is good friday. i know you might be off but you have to be up and i ask one thing, please be dressed. jillian: has anyone ever said no to you? >> i had somebody who wrote

that's a crime. >> the president's lawyer rudy giuliani denying that.emocrats on capitol hill say they want the entire mueller report presented to them and rejected. >> we need to fulfill constitutional obligations with our chief constitutional obligation is to hold the president accountable especially in an instance where the department of justice says it cannot hold the president accountable. those judgments must be made by congress, not a political appointee, the attorney general. >> gerrymander once the attorney general the united states to release grand jury material, that's where we are because they are so focused on getting the president, forget about the law they helped change, forget the rule of law and how things are supposed to happen. they are all about getting the president. >> get ready for more speculation and spin over the next couple weeks. the attorney general says it could be, before he presents to congress the mueller report and the version he is comfortable with and then the fight begins over whatever redaction see has made. >> nadl

joining me now, the president's lead lawyer, rudy giuliani., happy easter, sir. >> happy easter, happy passover and good to be with you. chris: you were planning, we were told, to release a counterreport to the mueller report, about 45 pages. why haven't you done so, and are you still planning to? >> number one, we haven't done so because we planned to do it if we needed to. so far we don't think we need to. that may become necessary. there is -- whether they go ahead with the hearings or not, whether other issues are raised by different people. there's probably a point at which we'll use it. right now we think the public debate is playing out about as well as it can. it raises a lot of issues that maybe we didn't have to respond to. chris: you have said if the you were going to release the counter-report, it was going to focus on obstruction. here's what the president had to say about that after the mueller report was released. >> right. >> they're having a good day, i'm having a good day too. it was called -- [laughter] no collusion, no obst

this was always the plan for rudy giuliani.y on when people used to criticize him, say he doesn't sound like a lawyer, he doesn't seem to be serving his interests. this was the interests and the raskins the couple who have been doing the lawyering getting mueller's team to not insist on any questions written even about obstruction, that was the win. everything after that was going to be optics. >> exactly right. and this was a television investigation that required a television lawyer to defend the president who was on television constantly going after the investigation. i agree with david, i don't think minds are going to be changed here because unless barr has totally misrepresented what the conclusions are, if the conclusions are that they looked at collusion and coordination with russian interference, didn't find any, looked at obstruction of justice, decided it was, you know, a jump ball and wouldn't bring the charges, that's the result. the rest will be politics. now, there could be plenty of information in this report th
