photographed with a number of high-profile republicans like scott walker, rick sanitorium, bobby jindalshe posed as a journalist to ask a question about russian sanctions to then-candidate donald trump. he answered the question. and at one point she actually tried to arrange for putin to join trump at the national prayer breakfast in d.c. and she managed to somehow penetrate the nra too. one of her alleged missions was to set up a line of communication between russia and republicans via the national rifle association. the fbi's investigating whether the nra took money from these russian interest groups, which wow, it's almost as if the nra is a shameless, greed-driven financial enterprise that has almost nothing to do with defending the constitution at all, but idy degrees. because while the investigation into whether the russians infiltrated the nra is ongoing, this ad from september 2016 seems a little bit suspicious to me. >> i'm nra. >> i am also nra. [ speaking russian ] >> we are good ol' boys. american comrades who love freedom and flag. >> da, and love the second amendment, very

and in 2015 at the nra convention, she managed to meet republican presidential candidate scott walkerutina at the 2017 national prayer breakfast, once again in the same room as donald trump. >> this gathering is a testament to the power of faith. >> reporter: butina has pleaded not guilty, and her lawyer insists she's no spy, just someone looking to create a better relationship between the two nations. but prosecutors tell a very different story. they say butina came to this country in 2014, if not earlier, and once offered sex in exchange for a position with a special interest organization. she was issued a student visa in august of 2016. prosecutors say it was all just a cover. in fact, before she arrived in the u.s., she worked for an unnamed high-level russian government official, who allegedly directed her efforts in the u.s. also court filings show butina and her mentor, russian banker aleksandr torshin, had once tried to establish back-channel communications between donald trump and vladimir putin. in her latest endeavor, documents show torshin allegedly praised her, writing, y

as we mentioned earlier, our poll has scott walker down, ready for this, 13 points in his bid for a thirdt's his fourth campaign for governor. the dtop democratic candidate i tony evers. this is sensational for someone who's been through two elections, a recall and epitomizes what the republican party brand was at least before donald trump. in the senate race tammy baldwin has a double-digit lead as well against both potential challengers. in minnesota, tina smith is up 14 points on her likely opponent, karen helsley. they both have to get through their primary contests. and in michigan, debbie stabenow has a substantial lead over john james and sandy pensler. take all of these numbers with the polls showing president trump's approval ratings in these states in the 30s and it's not hard to see the warning signs of a blue wave coming back to the midwest. we'll be back with more "mtp daily" after this. is is not clo. this is a car protected from storms by an insurance company that knows the weather down to the square block. this is a diamond tracked on a blockchain - protected against fraud

. >> it's really interesting what wisconsin ended up doing and had governor scott walker really support state-based reinsurance program in their state of wisconsin and how he funded that was because of the savings from the health insurer tax moratorium and how that's passed through medicaid managed care plans and he used those savings. so very creative approach because that moratorium had been passed after they had already gone through that assessment process and used those savings to sort of fund the wisconsin waiver. so it's sort of a creative way to find sort of rainy day funds, if you will, and use that to sort of jump start the program in the state. >> thank you. >> so i have a few questions that have come in. would you like to -- do you have a question? i think we might need a microphon microphone. >> i'm sara with bloomberg law. anybody can respond to this, but a point that alex azar has made is that healthy people who are in the exchanges are not likely to leave because they're getting subsidies. so i'd like to get some response to you about that because you're saying, you know,

couple years where she consorts with all kinds of high ranking political officials, congressmen, scott walkerers. and through interestingly the nra. she is herself a big -- she seems like a center democratic fo democraticfold for a gun lovers magazine. but it is flat out connection between the russian government, not some unnamed russians, and u.s. operatives with connections to the trump campaign. it just misses that last piece that mueller is mining we expect between those people, paul erickson and the like, and the actual trump campaign. >> and she got real close to the actual trump campaign and donald trump himself. let's watch. >> and trump jr. >> do you want to continue the politics of sanctions that are damaging both economies? >> i know putin. and we get along with putin. putin has no respect for president obama. big problem. big problem. i think that we would get along with a lot of countries thoo we don't get along with today and we'll be a lot richer for it. >> so if you needed anymore reason to not believe as people attempt a cleanup, that was the president answering a question fr

but remember back in wisconsin when governor scott walker was pushing through all of those reforms, allrotesters and rioters descended on the capital, where threatening his family, showing up at their homes. we had mobsters showing up at kristin nielsen's home, the homeland security secretary's house waking her up. that is an invasion, that is trespassing and politically, i think a lot of people, the majority believe in free speech but they also think that there is a line and this kind of behavior is completely unacceptable, it's threatening and it's very quickly turning into violence which i think is the most severe situation here. last night, shannon bream was going to do her show. outside of the supreme court, and she had to bring it back to the fox bureau because things got so out of control there. it's scary. things can happen very quickly. space as it happens on both sides of the aisle. i've had a death threat set my house. is that okay what happens on either side i should say. >> melissa: was interesting about it is you end up creating sympathy for the people that you're protesti

pictures of her with scott walker, with rick santorum, with bobby jindal, wayne lapierre of the nra. a knack for getting herself close to people who were in positions of real influence. >> sounds like this was her job. she sounds -- yeah, it sounds like this was her job and it sounds like she was a lot better at it than the woman she is compared to, another russian redhead, anna chapman, who of course was uncovered by the fbi as a russian spy and traded in 2010 as part of this big spy swap on which the americans is then based. she sounds like she was a lot better at it. it was a lot about kind of subtle -- a subtle influence campaign, getting close to people who were not just -- who knew what was going on, but people making decisions. people close to the top. sounds like she was good at it. >> this is not a mueller indictment, daniel. this is separate from it, but it is an indictment of a russian charged now, and alleged to have tried to spy on behalf of the russian government. there is also meetings that she had with donald trump's family. donald trump's eldest son, don jr. let's lo
