sara sanders says the president hasn't been charged with any crimes. this is the same white house that said the president can't be charged with any crimes. under the constitution, their theory, anyway, and the justice department prevailing policy is the president is not capable of being indicted while in office. that's not telling us anything. the real question, again, comes to congress and the political process and the midterms being held in the next couple of months. >> carol, you've covered law enforcement and justice for a long time. perhaps without knowing how exciting the beat might become someday. you have your own reporting for the "washington post" tonight on michael cohen specifically. walk us through the condensed version of what he might know and what might have motivated this decision by him. >> what he might know is something his attorney has described in many different ways over the course even of today. so sometimes that's a moving target, brian. but as for what has happened with his plea agreement, it came together rather rapidly start

but, you know, it was extraordinary to see press secretary sara sanders next to christopher ray, dni director dan coats. and those two men were essentially saying, yes, there is an effort for russia to interfere in the u.s. election. but sara sanders has somewhat back the president and i guess she reflected his skepticism on the matter and said the president really speaks for himself in this -- on this issue. so lots of confusion, i think, in the public where the administration stands. it seems the president says one thing but his officials are saying a completely other thing. >> well julie and ozzy stay with us because we have another white house staffer making headlines omarosa to talk about next. >> the president and the russia probe and the manafort trial, how the three intersect and why at least one legal scholar says it's left president trump very worried. that's up next. what?! -welcome. -[ gasps ] a bigger room?! -how many of you use car insurance? -oh. -well, what if i showed you this? -[ laughing ] ho-ho-ho! -wow. -it's a computer. -we compare rates to help you get the pric

brennan an outspoken critic no longer has access to sensitive information white house spokeswoman sara sanders made the announcement citing britain's quote erratic conduct and behavior. that they were hoping to walk free today but two women accused of killing the a strange half brother of north korea's leader will face murder charges a malaysian judge just ruled that there is enough evidence for their trial to continue and it's told them to enter their defense the vietnamese and indonesian women face the death penalty if convicted of killing him young now last year they allegedly smeared his face with a banned nerve agent as he waited to board a flight at kuala lumpur airport the women say they thought they were taking part in a prank for a t.v. show. the judge's ruling is a blow to the defendants as we said they were hoping to walk free today correspondent sandra was at the courthouse in kuala lumpur and explain to us what happened. well a lot of the local office over us and definitely the defense had hope that the women would be free today that they would be acquitted because they felt that

eventually we got a terse two-sentence response from sara sanders about the reaction to those denounced in the moment. this is a white house that is still reeling. it's gone to the president, as well. according to our reporting, he's been far more subdued the last day or so. he's distracted. angry behind closed doors about what happened. particularly on the cohen matter. he was able to sort of maintain his discipline last night at the rally. he didn't speak about either man while on stage in west virginia. but today, of course, we saw him start venting. he started on twitter. including the tweet about if you're looking for a good lawyer, don't go to michael cohen. i think it's one of his better efforts of late. and then, you know, he continued onward. we had the moment of sarah sanders the repetition of the president didn't do anything wrong. he's not charged with a crime. the issue is with our reporting there's not much of a battle plan there yet. they put together some talking points. they barely circulated them. rudy giuliani is currently golfing in scotland and was relatively m.a.i.

today sara sanders said this book is riddled with lies and false accusations, it's sad that a formerte house employee is trying to profit off these false attacks. the book also describes president trump is unstable and unstable to control his impulses. she also claims the president once swallowed a note in front of her apparently as a way to destroy some type of it unknown evidence. ed? >> yes, trace gallagher, appreciate that. a lot of people anybodying erring about that claim as well. let's dig into her claims and bring in our political panel to talk about it tonight. we have a great panel. he gentlemen, we appreciate you both coming in. >> thank you sir. thanks ed. vince, even before this book comes out it seems some of it to be falling apart. at one point omarosa says she heard frank luntz heard the president use the n word. look at this tweet from frank luntz tonight. it seems like certain book publishers care more about getting a release out than getting the facts down. that's why people don't trust these which is especially bad for authorize who are actually good and reliable.

i'm real happy with mike pompeo and his staff, stephen lawrence his economic advisor and i think sara sanders is doing a good job. i'm pleased and its early. this guy has never run for office are held office so it will take a while. it's not usual compared to other presidents around the same site. barack obama i had four secretaries, for secretaries of defense and i think he had three or four chiefs of staff so it's not uncommon. >> host: were you one of the republicans that held your nose or where you are supportive from the beginning. >> in the beginning. remember we cannot made the statement that mexicans are rapists, i'm watching tv and i say to myself this will probably be the shortest presidential campaign in history and the next morning i went to blue-collar area of la and i sat at a restaurant like a denny's at the counter. over the course of an hour at least 10 people came to me and said are you larry elder, yes, did you hear trump last night and they said what did you think and i said what did you think and one guy said he speaks to me over the course over the next hour about 10 peo

the latest example is what happened to sara sanders or she could eat at a restaurant. that's the sort of secret ingredient is this notion that people are persecuted. i went off keel from your question. my essay about trump i stated like a chicago school economist i have a bunch of conditions and one of them is there is no military coup. trump competes by the rules and the democrats fight him by the rules and then we talk about it from there. i am less afraid of that today. i was very concerned but so far he has not -- when he gets stopped, he gets stopped no less. he was denied in some way he wanted to do something but wasn't able to do it. of course last week's incredible scandal that looked bad for him and he reversed his course. he is also an incompetent, and they will end on this note. it's something i've been saying since the day they nominated him and discovered they didn't know what they were doing. the thing is you think about his philosophy of politics and whether he stays or goes or is defeated or get elected, trump-ism is here to stay. that is how he beat th

they were all yelling at sara sanders and president trump a few months ago over the separation of familiesthe border. what about the separations of american citizens who have died because of immigration anarchy. the selective outrage also drives a lot of the mainstream media coverage. they don't want to talk about it. on other channels they resist the fact that fox and fox business are talking about allah exodus story and in particular with fox business i want to say there were only 10% of businesses that are using the eve verifies system now. should be 100% compliant and what we need, gregg, i believe this strong employer sanctions. not just a physical wall, but a wall of regulation and laws that ensure that people who are knowingly and intentionally employing illegal aliens somehow face criminal prosecution because they have blood on their hands, too. gregg: i was paraphrasing elizabeth warren. i want our viewers to see what she exactly said. here it is. >> one of the things we have to remember is we need an immigration system that is effective, that focuses where real problems are. last

yesterday sara sanders came to the podium, didn't answer many questions. clearly this is a white house struggling to settle on something that will work, that can get this off of their plate and turn them to something else, some other subject that will be a better story line for this white house and for this president. >> thanks, abby, for that update. here with me to share the reporting and insights, katherine lucy with the associated press, michael warren with the weekly standard, rachael bade with politico, and perry bacon with 538. a lot to discuss today. abby mentioned there basically the strategy of this white house. katherine, do you sense there's a strategy that they've settled on, or is it as abby said, they're just throwing things at the wall to see what sticks? >> i think what abby says is right. what we've been hearing from people inside and outside this white house is it's not really clear how they're trying to frame a counternarrative, a response, a way forward. folks who go on cable news to talk about this presidency, to defend this presidenc

when you listen to sara sanders, the press secretary and others, they keep saying they're not talking about pardons in the white house. but that doesn't mean the president is not talking about manafort and cohen with people like giuliani playing golf in scotland. >> for frank, for all of us who don't have a background in your background or law degrees, when we talk about immunity we've thrown out a lot legal terms over the past couple of weeks. what does immunity mean or the feds know you have to offer? >> so first immunity is not handed out lightly and two factors have to be present. one is you have to believe that the person you're granting immuny to is exposed to criminal charge, number one. number two, there's some benefit to getting him to talk and giving him incentive to talk. it's important here to understand that we don't know the full degree of immunity that was provided. we don't know the degree to which mr. pecker has agreed to cooperate. whether it's going to be an entire historical provision of everything he knows about the president and all, or whether it's limited to si

according to the "washington post," press secretary sara sanders and john kelly pushed mr.statement lauding mccain for his senate service and wanted the president to say he was a hero. instead, president trump opted for a short tweet saying, my deepest sympathies and respect go out to the family of senator john mccain, our hearts and s e house, flags at the white house were lowered to half staff this weekend after mccain's passing, but as you can see this morning, they are back to full staff. >>> back in the east bay, firefighters quickly stopped flames from a fast-moving grass fire from reaching any buildings. abc 7 was on interstate 580 as smoke rose above castro valley yesterday afternoon. you can see it here in the video. the fire broke out near palo verde road. the fire department tells us it burned 48 acres before they had it contained. cal fire helped attack the flames with ground crews and aircraft. crews are getting control of the two major wildfires still burning in northern california. the ranch fire is 67% contained this morning. it has burned 402,000 acres of l

polar opposite, but we haven't had the chance because there have only been three briefings this sara sanders about her promise, take a number. if you want to see the president challenged about why the white house lied about the president not being involved with wanting to buy karen mcdougal's size after audiotape shows he actually was, sorry, you are out of luck. and the same goes for false and misleading statements like this one just yesterday. the president tweeting a highly respected federal judge today stated that the trump administration gets great credit for reuniting legal families. thank you, and please look at the previous administration's record. not good. the president neglected to point out that the judge essentially admonished him for essentially making orphans out of kids. you can omit, you can rephrase, you can make stuff up. whatever you want, and no one can challenge you. last year anthony scaramucci, the new white house communications director for those ten glorious days, or was it 11, refused to commit to regular white house briefings. the following may the president threa

in recent days a reporter from one publication tossed a question back to a tv reporter wh when sara sanders ignored that tv reporter. it's a small start. the trump administration similar to previous administrations, we can't treat this as a paradigm, but can't treat it as a typical presidency either w -- with that i'd love to take questions. thanks for having me. [applaus [applause] >> do you think there's any overall strategy that this president has in terms of foreign policy or domestic policy or is everything an ad hoc-- >> transactional. >> the question is whether i think there's any strategy to this president's approach to foreign policy or any policy or ad hoc or transactional? i think that president trump does not have a theory of a case, which i think other presidents have had. i think that he thought very little about what the job of president involved until he won it in part because he was superstitious and in part because if he's being honest, he didn't think he was going to win and that was something he was having fun doing. so, he was uniquely unprepared when he won. he has a s

sarah sanders telling me she has no comment right now >> sara, you have to say if there was a week to increase the pressure on him was this week. record market highs, an increase in gdp and when emerging markets are feeling stress leverage has increased but also the cover he has here. we're hitting record highs and gdps just increased. so good timing >> we'll wait for confirmation remember these $200 billion worth of imports are ones that really include consumer products that americans buy including handbags and baseball gloves and fish and a lot of food and all sorts of things. it was a big packet. we'll have to go back to it, the list of tariffs. >>> moving on earlier today becky shat down with burkeshire's hath away >> that has had some investors maybe a little worried thinking things like maybe things are getting a bit pricey he's been buying back shares of burkeshire hath away, has changed their whole formula for how they value berkshire hath away also been buying shares of apple. in fact, at this point apple is buy far the largest position berkshire hath away owns more than $56

i learned when someone called me, sara huckabee sanders announce tmptd for one, it was a head's up. secondly, i am not shocked at all the appalling thing that is mr. trump has done. this is an egregious act that flies in the face of traditional practice, as well as common sense and national security. i think that is why there has been such an out-cry from many intelligence professionals. want to support me, but to support the principle that security clearances are something that very, very slm and sacred and never ever should be used for political purposes, either to grant friends clearances or to revoke your critics. >> of all of your government service, clearly, are you familiar with the processes and procedures, including the processes that exist for revoking them for cause. when the president signalled that he may go after your security clearance, did you expect that cia would then be put through paces in terms of the normal procedures for how these things go? evaluate if you behaved in any way to justify this action? did you expect that it would go through channels? >> i would
