they weren't following or tracking rudy giuliani.ut they are following and tracking russian intelligence operatives in ukraine. and so they were seeing rudy giuliani, the president's lawyer, interacting with a significant number or on a significant number of assets in ukraine. and this became obviously a huge source of concern. >> sounds like we are having a little trouble with greg miller's line. he was telling us about the post reporting regarding ruegy giuliani and concerns from federal intelligence officials that he might be used as an unwitting, presumably unwitting conduit to funnel disinformation directly to the white house to the president. greg miller, is the line a little cleaner? >> sorry about that. >> that's all right. >> when the president found out that mr. giuliani could be supplying him with russian disinformation or misinformation, what was his reaction? >> so our reporting indicates that he sort of shrugged his shoulders. and when asked about rudy's activities in ukraine, basically said that's rudy. i think that th

we have a very important guest, rudy giuliani. he is not just a next mayor of new york, he's the former united states attorney for the southern district of new york and the former associate general of the united states and number three at the department of justice with the criminal division that used to report to him. i know media like to blow him up, he's the president's operate, he's a very serious man with a huge record of prosecution and successful prosecutions. before we get to him, i want to set the stage on what's been taking place this week and how the media are ignoring it and they are ignoring it for a reason. there was a blockbuster story the other day in the new york post. the new york post happens to be a legitimate newspaper. more legitimate in my view than the new york times that covered up the holocaust and lied about stalin slaughtering the ukrainians. more legitimate than the washington post that pre-much did the same thing. he giuliani has anothe never done anything like that and the new york post has never done

thanks to some stunning new reporting in "the washington post," we now know that rudy giuliani was identified by u.s. intelligence agencies as a target of an active russian intelligence operation to harm the candidacy of joe biden. that's according to new reporting in the postout today. rudy basically functioning as a russian asset by pushing russian disinformation. a bigger headline here as always is the case when russia is identified with attacking the united states with disinformation is the president's reaction to warnings from his own intelligence community about this ongoing and live russian aggression. when white house officials warned him, trump reportedly shrugged it off saying, quote, that's rudy. in the most chilling part of "the washington post" scoop, the post goes on to report, quote, the intelligence raised concerns that rudy giuliani was being used to feed russian misinformation to the president, the warnings to the white house which have not previously been reported led national security adviser o'brien to caution president trump that any information rudy giuliani brought bac

rudy giuliani is no unwitting mope. he's the former mayor of new york city. he's no sucker, no rube, should be wise in the ways of the world. when i see this reporting out of the "new york post" that multiple officials briefed the president himself in december of last year about concerns that giuliani was the target of russian disinformation, it's staggering to think that nobody reached out to giuliani to warn him. in my 20-plus years at the fbi, if we saw somebody targeted as part of a disinformation campaign, we are either going to open a case or go out and warn them. if they continue the contact, we'll open a case, so i find it heart to believe rudy giuliani says he has no idea that he was being targeted business these folks society are associated with russian intelligence. >> so that's not a useful idiot. that is someone perfectly to help their political interests, or that of basically their boss. >> that's right. i think, you know, when the "new york post" story, when you look at this computer storeowner in delaware who allegedly received hunter biden's

jaundi rudy giuliani was the target of the russian operations.y giuliani was being used to feed russian misinformation to the president. that's according to four former officials who are familiar with the matter. the president responded to this shrugging and said "that's rudy." i am joined by ken dilanian and joy vance. and ken, i want to start with you with the stem related to hunter biden. what do we know of this? >> nbc news reported that federal investigators are examining whether the stories based on these e-mails left on laptop linked to hunter biden. the reason that's important among many other reasons is that this material was given to rudy giuliani. that's how the new york post got this stuff according to reque"t post," they were tipped off by steve bannon. the mainstream media is not reporting on this because we can't authentic this material. it may be a russian hack dump. the context here as you said we also confirmed that "the post" and new york times reporting last week that rudy giuliani had been approached by russian agents, the ci

lou: we're back with rudy giuliani. to the issue of joe biden's corruption and the accusations of corruption, and i want to show the audience -- because there's been a suggestion that the vice president didn't do a single thing, as he put it, that was out of line while he was in office. and we're going to show the audience -- >> oh, my god. lou: --, please, hunter biden's foreign profits while he was, in fact, vice president, over $12 million worth. $3.5 million to hunter biden, the wife of the mayor of moscow. that's russia, if you're counting countries. $3.5 million. $4 million for work on the board of burisma. that's ukraine. $4.8 million in consulting fees if chinese business associations. that's $4.8 million from china. $100,000 shopping spree for various members of the biden family from chinese, from a chinese national citizen. that according to the u.s. senate report on hunter biden, burisma and biden corruption. this is stunning stuff, and yet the national left-wing media, rudy, says time after time that there i

rudy giuliani, on fox the other night you made national headlines with a lot of coughing as well. e you and have you had a test recently? rudy: let me start with the good news. i had a test recently. the day of that time i was coughing, i cough twice and i was clearing my throat. i did test does go hours earlier and came back yesterday and i am negative. that is the second one i have had since i was with the rubin the white house where unfortunately most of them came down with it. , but ia little guilty was one of the few along with jared and ivanka that did not. i will go back and get tested on friday and then i will be out of the woods. you have to be very positive. i am not that nervous about it. i know if it does happen, i know what to take. my doctor has provided hydroxychloroquine which i'm taking every day. tom: your doctor has prescribed that to you? rudy: the doctor has treated 2500 patients who had this illness, the man is a genius. his perfected a protocol and lost only two patients. tom: you are the personal confidant to the president. he has tweeted twice he is in reco

we should point out, by the way, that another of rudy giuliani's children, his son andrew, actually works the trump white house and is very much a part of the trump coalition. so clearly a divide around the dinner table in the giuliani family. >> and she was on with rachel maddow last night, i think we can play that short, short clip of caroline giuliani talking about her father and their relationship. >> have you been concerned about his public behavior at all? >> i mean, i've certainly been concerned about his public behavior, not for those reasons per se but just because he's involved in this whole group of people doing these things. so i think it's less about him specifically and more about this mob mentality that has been created and that he's feeding, unfortunately. >> now, at the same time, ken and phil, i just want to share that mitt romney has now tweeted about the qanon conspiracy and the president's refusal to disavow it last night, mitt romney now saying the president's unwillingness to denounce an absurd and dangerous conspiracy theory last night continues an alarming pattern

and at this moment, rudy giuliani's daughter has chosen to publicly plead with the american people to, please, vote against her father's client, to, please, vote to elect joe biden. caroline rose giuliani joins us live here, next. ose giuliani jo live here, next. >>> quote -- if you are planning to abstain, if you are planning to cast a symbolic vote or abstain from voting altogether, please reconsider. it is more important than ever to avoid complacency. this election is far from over, and if 2020 has taught us anything, it's that anything can happen. we are hanging by a single slipping finger on a cliff's edge and the fall will be fatal. if we remove ourselves from the fight, our country will be in free fall. alternatively, we can hang on, elect a compassionate and decent president, and claw our way back onto the ledge. if i, after decades of despair over politics, can engage in our democracy to meet this critical moment, i know you can, too. that is from caroline rose giuliani, the daughter of the president's personal attorney, writing tonight at "vanity fair" under this remarkable

my father is rudy giuliani. we are multi verses apart, politically and otherwise. a lifetime forging an identity in the arts separate from my last name, so publicly declaring myself as a giuliani feels counterintuitive, but i've come to realize, she says, that none of us can afford to be silent right now. the stake are too high. quote, we are not helpless. i may not be able to change my father's mind, but together we can vote this toxic administration out of office. trump and his enablers have used his presidency to stoke the injustices that already permeated our society, taking them to dramatically new bond villain heights. if the unrelenting deluge of devastating news makes you think i'm crazy for having home, please remember that making us feel powerless is a tactic that politicians use to make us think our voices and our votes don't matter. but they do. it's taken persistence and nerve to find my voice in politics, and i'm using it now to ask you to stand with me in the fight to end donald trump's reign of terror. if being the daughter of a polarizing mayor who

the headline "white house was warned rudy giuliani was -- multiple sources including intercepted communicationsteracting with people tied to russian intelligence during a december 2019 trip to ukraine where he was gathering information that he thought would expose corrupt acts by former vice president joe biden and his son hunter. "the post's" shane harris shares the byline. he joins us tonight. it's a fascinating article. can you just explain the crux of your reporting? >> well, the crux of it is that when rudy giuliani went to ukraine in december, early december of last year -- and, remember, this and as president trump is facing down the barrel of impeachment. rudy was over there talking to ukrainians to dig up dirt on the bidens. these individuals it was known to u.s. intelligence were actually russian assets. these were people who were connected to the russian government. and u.s. intelligence determined that they were likely feeding disinformation, false information to rudy giuliani, hoping he would take it back to the president and kind of inject it into the bloodstream back into the deb

now, as it relates to rudy giuliani. , rudy giuliani is no longer relevant in this campaign. first of all, they all know they're going to lose the campaign so everyone's kind of running right now for cover, and that's including rudy. this last one with borat is sort of the icing on the cake. rudy has become a complete joke. and there's no reason to have him around. in all fairness, too, rudy and chris christie are really the ones that turned around and told trump that what you want to do is to interrupt joe biden as much as possible in the earlier debate because joe biden is known to have a stuttering issue and the way you throw a stutterer off is really to interrupt every word that he says. so rudy's usefulness is no longer relevant and he's going to be gonzo as well. >> i should know chris christie has denied he gave that advice, just to put that on the record. but the point about the donkey and the carrot to me is sort of one of the unifying theories here, and it is important for a lot of things. people say, well, why is he -- why has the president acted the way he has tow

document are taking heat from the left, "the new york times" says the sketchy story left unclear when rudy giuliani obtained the document. liberal times columnist michelle goldberg responded they're really going to help giuliani and steve bannon it longer this through the new cycle? and senator ted cruz accused twitter of an obvious and transparent attempt to influence the election and hypocrisy for allowing shoddy or stories about other politicians. a top producer for msnbc's lawrence o'donnell tweeted "no one should link to or share "the new york post" report. "but it may be backfiring bring even more attention to this story. >> bret: mount a reaction for the biden campaign, correspondent peter doocy has the latest from wilmington, delaware. >> joe biden brought a story about his son hunter on the campaign trail this week. >> the reason i went home is the same reason why all you tried to, and that is that to be there in the evening when my kids went to bed in the morning, my sons and my daughter ashley. >> he defended hunter on the debate stage. speak up my son, like a lot of people you know at h

rudy giuliani, who has done much to make sure that the public in this country knows what's going on. , good to have you with us. thanks for your service to the nation. joining us now is republican national committee chairwoman ronna mcdaniel. i don't know how much of what has just happened on this broadcast you managed to hear. but tony bobulinski, former business associate of hunter biden, effectively dutying the form -- indicting the former vice president if everything he says is true. and we're told by rudy giuliani not only is what he said true, but there is more to come. i want to get your thoughts about is he unfit for office? and should that be a major focus of tonight's debate? >> well, i can't think of any higher level of corruption than monetizing the office of vice president, allowing your son to do dealings with foreign countries that you have jurisdiction over and profiting for your family's benefit. it is deeply troubling. you know what's e even deeply troubling, lou, is that fox news is the only one that carried that broadcast. as these stories are unfolding, the media

what is rudy giuliani saying to this idea that he could become a tool for the russians?ll of this. he's trotting out the deep state argument we've heard from many in the trump orbit saying members of the intelligence community are out to get trump. take a look at what he said earlier on fox news. >> no one in the trump administration warned me, no one in the intelligence community warned me. the president didn't say that to me. this is the first time i'm hearing that, and i have a pretty good idea where it's coming from, and these are people who are trying to tear down donald trump and destroy his presidency from inside the intelligence community of which there are many. >> reporter: wolf, despite what he says there, it is clear that this laltetest action is raisin all kinds of red flags as russia's part of broader investigation on the u.s. wolf? >>> inspect the situation room, the chairman of the house, chairman of the intelligence committee, adam schiff, is standing by large. plus, retired general john kelly telling friends what he really thinks of president trump usin

rudy giuliani talks about prize and president trump is still looking for osama bin laden. welcome to "the daily social distancing show. >> from trevor's couch in new york city to your couch somewhere in the world, this is "the daily social distancing show with trevor noah! ♪ >> trevor: today marks exactly seven months since march 15th. that was the day when i first started doing this show from my apartment, and i'm not going to lie -- i did not think we would still be here in october. aaahhh! i hope somebody's been going to office to water my puppy. sad truth is, the global pandemic is not only still with us but in many places are getting worse. cases are rising so fast in europe paris imposed a curfew from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., which means frenchmen will have no time to see their secret families. things aren't looking at that great in america either where we're seeing the start of a third wave which is really concerning. you never want to shout corona would be at the next board meeting. could we stop calling it a wave? that sounds relaxing. doesn't sound severe enough.

why is rudy giuliani having a laptop? not only that, release it for their side of the incriminating biden, this is a time to release it. but they are not doing that because there's nothing there. soup or they released a lot of stuff. they invited us to come and look at some of the stuff. the problem is it's impossible to verify something that has been gathered second and third hand. that is some of the issue that we are having here. he has released a lot. he was reported to look at it. the problem is verifiability. but deniability is something completely different. because if you have someone i met with the vice president he was asking for his portion. his brother was asking for his portion. all these things are incredibly incriminating and problematic. but they have not tried to discredit bob zelensky. >> think is important to try to verify anything in the public domain for allegation. they should do it regardless of what this donald trump or joe biden. i think too often people go into the sink with confirmation bias. al

warned that trump was briefed, that the attorney general of the united states was also briefed that rudy giulianit the information he provides you is likely coming from russian intelligence service operation, then rudy understands that. there's another agenda here on rudy's part. it may be a desperate search for relevance at this point in his life. it's sad what happened to rudy, the fall from grace from being america's mayor to being america's betrayer if he is a willing coopt of the intelligence services. as we look at what this might be, this delaware computer shop caper as i call it. to think of this in terms of franchise operations in business, remember back to 2016 and the trump campaign and the finding that what happened with the russian intelligence service there was essentially an owned and operated corporate operation, the russian intelligence services hacked into the dnc, they got hillary's email, directed social media propaganda, it was all about them. they got caught red handed and it's embarrassing. if what we 'seeing in delaware is partly theirs, it's more likely a franchisee opera

rudy giuliani, and his dealings with russian agents last year, and passed that information on to the e house. the source added that the agencies were not spying on giuliani himself, but instead looking at individuals he was speaking with such as andrii derkach, identified as a russian agent. giuliani according to the source repeatedly met with derkach last year when giuliani was trying to obtain information on joe biden and his son hunter. federal investigators are also looking into whether emails allegedly describing the activities of joe biden and his son found in a computer repair shop are linked to a foreign intelligence operation, two people familiar with the matter told nbc news. those emails allegedly touch on hunter biden's activities in ukraine and china and were published by "the new york post" last week and they received it from steve bannon and rudy giuliani. >> steve bannon, who could go wrong? >> "the new york post" put out a story with an email which is not confirmed to be authentic and suggested a meeting between joe biden and a representative from the ukrainian compan

now, remember, rachel, that rudy giuliani met in kiev with a ukrainian lawmaker who has been assessed by u.s. intelligence and announced by our treasury department to be a russian asset for the last decade. you know, giuliani goes to kiev, meets with him and comes back and a few months later giuliani surfaces up with these very mysterious emails. so every intelligence professional that i've talked to says that this walks like a russian disinformation campaign, this talks like a russian intelligence disinformation campaign, this is most likely a russian intelligence disinformation campaign against the biden team. >> if there have been all these warnings from the fbi to congress, from the intelligence agencies to the white house, there have been public warnings to the u.s. public about there being a russian intelligence operation of this kind targeting this election in this way and, by the way, here's the names of the cast of characters involved, and mr. giuliani is still willingly and wittingly serving as their conduit of information in order to carry out this interference effort, shou

rudy giuliani!ou see the issue is in hunter biden and joe biden and all the corruption and the millions of dollars. the issue is none of that. the issue is rudy giuliani. it's like the russia hoax, all that stuff. four former officials familiar with the matter say the russians were trying to get their claws into rudy. no names. speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive information and conversation. the warnings to the white house. so it's rudy giuliani that we have to watch out for. ladies and gentlemen, here's the deal. rudy giuliani is a good man. they can attack him all they want. it doesn't answer the emails. it doesn't answer the texts. one has nothing to do with the other. and you know what? our president was in peace for a hell of a lot less than this. we've got email, we've got a text, dna, we've got times, we've got dates. the washington compost, they are protecting their boy joe biden. they are not interested. >> sean: one of the thing, we did have russian interference. h

appreciate your time. >>> next, president trump was reportedly warned that rudy giuliani is being usedn agents to take down biden. so what was the president's response? and all eyes tonight on a key swing state that could not only determine who wins the white house, but who takes control of the senate. so who has the upper hand? at fisher investments, we do things differently and other money managers don't understand why. because our way works great for us! but not for your clients. that's why we're a fiduciary, obligated to put clients first. so, what do you provide? cookie cutter portfolios? nope. we tailor portfolios to our client's needs. but you do sell investments that earn you high commissions, right? we don't have those. so, what's in it for you? our fees are structured so we do better when you do better. at fisher investments we're clearly different. to stir that fire, university of phoenix is awarding up to one million dollars in scholarships through this month. see what scholarship you qualify for at phoenix.edu. see what scholarship when disaster strikes to one, we all get

later, they went to politicians including rudy giuliani's lawyer. intermediary is an american citizen and a longtime friend. in light of burisma being hacked by the russians, those emails could've been plaintiff. >> this -- this might not been hunter? >> no. >> martha: the fbi covered up the investigation claiming at one point they said, nothing happens to people who don't talk. he was frustrated by the impeachment over president trump alleged efforts to discuss such information as he had seen in the shop and he was in fear of his life. >> the ukrainian? is that what you are talking about? >> don't put that in there. i'm afraid of someone wanting to make sure that i don't extort them for money or that i don't do -- you know. but i don't do things with their computer. if they would people. i was afraid for the owner, the people involved in the contents of it, i wanted out of my shop. >> martha: the owner clearly stated that he took action because he was frustrated by the impeachment, but he says it wasn't about getting people to vote one way or anoth

>> what i think is the case, what they are saying is rudy giuliani is being used.hinking the russian agent although i'm not surprised to hear the accusation as well. but at this point, we are way past that. i mean, the fact that rudy giuliani was involved in passing this on at some points, journalists have to say okay, i'm not crazy or i'm suspicious or skeptical of the sources, but your corroborating information and here's a live human being who's coming forward now and prepared to testify under oath at risk of being charged of perjury about what he heard and saw. it not just now not about hunter biden and what joe biden -- that use of joe biden's name, it's about joe biden himself identified having participated in conversation of the nature he said he never knew about her had anything to do with. this thing is out there and it will be very interesting to see whether the debate moderator tonight proposes the question and mentions the new informati information. it won't be as effective. he's an interested party. >> tucker: put this in the prompter, updates, moments

i'm not surprised rudy giuliani is trying to come up with something before the election. i get it. what i am disappointed by is that the trump campaign is using the same story. really? hacked russian e-mails again? you're going to reuse the same october surprises last election? it's called an october surprise! not an october, hey,noy this one! it's not a surprise if we can see it coming. a surprise has to be a -- surprise! but i've got to say, i don't think this plan to get people caring about the burisma scandal is going to work because who even knows what burisma is. trump himself can't even pronounce it. >> eight month after his alleged meeting with -- the burmeesa executives, so these burmesia -- they say, pronounce it bureesia, a real beautiful company -- >> trevor: oh, man, that was baifnl to watch. that was like watching trump's mouth trying to walk down a ramp. i mean, how does trump not know how to say burisma, when that's all he's talked about for years? this should concern people. if tony the tiger was like, frosted flakes, they're grunk! you would be, like, i hope this

tonight, there are growing questions about the man once known as america's mayor, rudy giuliani, and if he is being used by russia to influence the 2020 presidential campaign. we now know that giuliani met extensively with a man considered an active russian agent and sanctioned by the u.s. government. the intelligence community was so concerned, that the president was warned. here is cbs' paula reid. >> it's biden's son. >> reporter: president trump on it's hunter. >> reporter: president trump on the attack today going after joe biden and his family with dubious accusations. >> i'll tell you what, it's an organized crime family, as far as i'm concerned. >> reporter: the president is referencing a tabloid newspaper story with emails purportedly swiped from the vice president's son, hunter. but cbs news has learned the president was personally warned by the national security adviser robert o'brien that the man who provided the information to the tabloid, his personal attorney, rudy giuliani, was the target of a russian influence campaign aimed at discrediting biden. sources say the pres

know, run the president, the president runs rudy giuliani. ni is doing the president's bidding. he was doing the president's bidding late last year and earlier this year in ukraine, he was doing the president's bidding when he was meeting with an agent of the kremlin. he was doing his president's bidding when he was pushing out this smear and trying to get the ukranians to push out this smear of his opponent because he was deathly afraid of being exactly where we are right now, which is less than three weeks before the election, losing badly to joe biden. but the fact that he would continue to do it, i guess at this point shouldn't surprise us, but this is the story of donald trump. utter unwillingness to stand up to the kremlin, unwillingness to use their help no matter how dishonest or disreputable, unwillingness to undermine our own elections by getting kremlin help and amplifying it. there's only one thing left and that's to vote him out. >> have you, as a member of the gang of eight in the top leadership in the congress, the senate, the h

sense of self-preservation you would have thought donald trump would have distanced himself from rudy giuliani once the warnings were issued. instead he continued to hold giuliani close. the question is whether the president just intent on winning at any cost, even if it means helping out one of our country's enemies, russia, in spreading disinformation or is there something else, is the president compelled to stay in russia as you orbit for reasons that aren't yet clear to us. >> let's talk about why the president is mostly compelled to want to be the president of the united states on an ongoing basis. i get this question and i'm going to put it to you. what legal liability does the president likely face if he's removed from office? joyce vance -- you and mcquaid wrote an article in which you call a rap sheet for a former president and outline obstruction of justice, bribery, campaign finance violations, pre-presidency crimes, hatch act violations and for a good measure pus crimes for another day. what do these translate into if donald trump is not the president of the united states? >> so ba

a lot of other organizations raising red flags about the story and you know when rudy giuliani's name is connected to this they are immediately skeptical about the chain of custody of this laptop that showed up. what can you tell us about your ability to get to the source of this story? >> i think our story speaks for itself. it is deeply sourced and all the sourcing, hard evidence, obtained, photographs, emails that are pretty hard to dispute is verifiably belonging to hunter biden and that is a lot more of a slamdunk of a story than many of the anti-trump stories that have appeared in the last few years which if you look the sourcing is someone familiar with the matter told someone else who told the outlet in question and yet none of those stories has been treated the way social media companies, facebook and twitter have treated our story including facebook officials say they are going to reduce distribution of the story, outright blocking get so i as editor of the new york post get a block and so the double standard is striking and i encourage people to look the story up, a very re

rudy giuliani is effectively a russian asset at this point. think made some significant ground above and beyond what they were doing four years ago. >> that's a significant charge. i do know, it's a fact, that trump's own treasury department has designated a ukrainian politician that giuliani has met with more than once, the treasury department described him as a russian agent for more than a decade. are you saying in effect that giuliani is cooperating with russian disinformation here? >> listen, i certainly can't say whether giuliani knows that he has been put in the position of spreading russian misinformation except durkoch has been labeled a russian agent. and as recently as a few days ago, rudy giuliani is saying he's not sure if that's true. it's 50/50 whether he's a russian agent. no it's 100%, our own intelligence agencies have said it, the treasury department sanctioned him. so the fact that rudy giuliani is providing excuses to keep him and the russian fsb as a conduit to him for misinformation that could harm president biden should

here, rudy giuliani was going to ukraine. he was making no secret about it.at one point had to ask him not to go around the time of impeachment. and he made clear why he was going. it was to get information about burisma and about joe biden and his son, hunter. so he was sort of advertising himself to the russians. hey, whatever you can hack and get, i'm open for business. >> it really is stunning to see the level of detail and the fact that the white house was clearly warned. and giuliani was running around. the phrase useful idiot is used all the time, and this is a time when giuliani is a willing useful idiot. david, i need to get to your book and the documentary, which deals with many of these same types of subjects. this background war that's happening. the russians are part of it but there are other countries, too. i want to play a long clip now. >> 16 hours since the iowa caucuses began. we're still waiting for the results. >> the app didn't work. no one knew if it would. >> this is so far not so good. >> iowa was exactly my worst fear. >> the biggest

they were provided by president trump's personal lawyer rudy giuliani. rns out that the contents of the emails sound a lot like information giuliani sought during a trip to ukraine in december. after which, according to "the washington post" and "new york times," spy agencies warned the white house that russian assets could be using giuliani to feed disinformation to the president. for more i'm joined by ben collins, nbc news reporter. and malcolm nance, nbc news terrorism analyst and contributor, and also author of "the plot to despres america." the post warned that anything giuliani brought back from ukraine should be considered contaminated by russia. can you draw a line for us, malcolm, between the info dump we saw in "the new york post" and what giuliani was looking for in ukraine? >> well, if you think about it, we all know everything there is to know about this story, because this is the same information which was provided almost two years ago, excuse me that resulted in donald trump's impeachment. a lot of this information is related to hunter bid

thanks to some stunning new reporting in "the washington post," we now know that rudy giuliani was identifiedncies as a target of an active russian intelligence operation to harm the candidacy of joe biden. that's according to new reporting in the postout today. rudy basically functioning as a russian asset by pushing russian disinformation. a bigger headline here as always is the case when russia is identified with attacking the united states with disinformation is the president's reaction to warnings from his own intelligence community about this ongoing and live russian aggression. when white house officials warned him, trump reportedly shrugged it off saying, quote, that's rudy. in the most chilling part of "the washington post" scoop, the
