we should know the daily beast was first to report the e-mail outrage. >> okay. thanks very much. >>> after the daily beast published its story, the trump campaign responded in a statement down playing the roll of cambridge analytica without denying the company's outreach. after president locked up the nomination, one of the most important decisions we made was to partner with the republican national committee on data analytics. we were proud to worked with them and its data experts and relied on them as our main source for data analytics and claims from any other source is false a. >>> according to the trump campaign filing it paid them almost $6 million between the republican convention in july and mid december of last year. >> et's see if cnn politics -- all next week will dress up on halloween asa billinspiredby a kid on capitol hill. will you dress up as a daca bill? >> i'm not going to spoil that. >> i'd like to talk about that but unfortunately we're talking data analytics. hillary clinton, the dnc funding research that led to this dossier of unconfirmed a

we should note the daily beast was first to report the e-mail outrage. >> thanks. after the daily beast publish the its story, the trump campaign responded in a statement down playing the role without denying the company's outreach to wikileaks. here's what it says in part. after president trump locked up the nomination, one of the most important decisions we made was to partner with the republican national committee on data analyti analytics. we were prud to have worked with the rnc and its data experts and relied on them. any claims that other sources played a key role are false. according -- it paid cambridge analytica almost $6 million between the republican convention in july and mid december of last year. >>> all this as the law firm representing hillary clinton and the democratic national committee confirms its clients paid for research on then candidate donald trump. president trump claiming the russia hoax, in his words, has now turned completely around. >> hillary clinton always denied it. the democrats always denied it. and now, only because it's going to

and in the russia investigation, an exclusive report from the daily beast, some of the biggest names in the trump campaign, including his own son don jr. pushed tweets from russian-backed trolls before the election. we have a lot to get through today. beginning with the president and his administration trying to walk the line between defending their contacts with gold star families but not disputing what those families are saying. all of this growing under what under any ordinary circumstances would have been a private call to a grieving widow. i have a great panel. starting at the white house with my friend kristen welker. this started with four soldiers who died tragically in nijer but now it's including contacts with other gold star families. including chris baldridge. >> well, his father speaking to "the washington post" said that president trump did call him after the death of his son over the summer. that phone call taking place in july. and he says the president at that time not only called to offer his condolences but said he wanted to follow up with a $25,000 check. now, acc

the russian government. we learned that today at daily beast". this is just the latest in what's been a solid month now of treasure trove reporting from american journalists about what russia did online during our election to try to help donald trump and to try to hurt hillary clinton. thursday night at the "wall street journal" we learned that facebook was aware as far back as april about the russian government pushing content on facebook to try and influence the 2016 election. facebook had apparently initially planned to include specific mention of what russia was doing when facebook put out its company statement about how facebook was used during the election back in april. but for some reason, after the initial statement was drafted, including all the information about what russia was doing on facebook, for some reason, facebook decided to second draft that statement and specifically cut out all mentions of russia. any mention that russia had been involved in creating fake content at facebook for the election. so that was the headline at the "

"the daily beast" and "new york times" have tracked how russian agents were running various facebook groups called united muslims of america and another called lgbt united and another called defend the second, and another group called blacktivist. these are facebook and twitter groups all run by russian agents all designed to cause anxiety and division. and all designed to portray hillary clinton as not just liberal but dangerously radical. and so all of that reporting has happened over the past month or so since facebook finally was dragged kicking and screaming into admitting that yeah, there was russian-paid content on facebook trying to affect the election. so in a rush, in this past month, we've had all this good, in-depth concrete reporting to actually make it nuts and bolts. to give us something to look at. give us something to see so we can understand how russia operated within our election. just over the past month we've had this rush of reporting that makes it not so much an esso tear rick thing nim. we can see it. we know this is what russian did during the election. this w

next let's talk about that with eleanor clift political commentator and author and columnist for the daily beast eleanor joins me from washington eleanor what. what do you make of the room for a flake out. well i think what i'm wondering is whether the comments by senators corker and flake will accelerate the disintegration of the republican party and encourage more people to come out and speak against president trump the attacks against him this week were more about his character and the way handles the office senator corker said he's he will be remembered for d. basing the presidency it's not as much about policy differences senator flake did say that there's no room in the republican party for someone like him who believes in immigration and free trade so he brought an element of issue differences into his decision not to run again but he can't he can't win a primary and you now have the republican party looking at trying to remake itself in trump's image as though there are all these charismatic populists around the country just waiting to be called into service they go for the candidates de

now today betsy woodruff of the "daily beast" reported that the daily firm, cambridge andit ka, run by family that financed, steve bannon has multimillion dollar stake, mike flynn worked for as well. ran data operations for the trump campaign. head of the group, ceo, wrote in e-mail last year that he reached out to wikileaks about hillary clinton during the campaign. according to e-mail described by two sources familiar with congressional investigation into this matter, head of cambridge analytica, reportedly told a third party he reached out to julian assange in wikibealeaks about his firm somehow helping wikileaks. integral far the of the election to hurt hillary clinton and help donald trump. wikileaks is how they disseminated portions of the documents hacked and stolen by russian government hackers. documented lovingly promoted by candidate trump himself throughout the campaign. we've previously linked wikileaks and behavior on behalf of the russian government to a few kitchen people soeshtz of trump and the campaign. people like roger stone for example. but this new story from the

the form of health and human services he did not fly private and eleanor clift columnist for the daily beast beast political commentator and author on money. trumps tax plan he's calling it a myth. class miracle that doesn't benefit him at all well there's a couple things i think that there actually are number of elements of this that are pretty standard republican fare in terms of rate reductions particularly on the corporate side but also on the individual side simplification a lot of these themes are what you'd expect from a republican tax plan so in that sense i think you'll get widespread support certainly from republicans you know in terms of arguing he's not going to benefit from it i probably wouldn't do that if i were him i would probably avoid that line of argument because generally speaking if you're going to do rate reductions at the top you're going to benefit people who make a lot of money so but i think this is one area where he is going to get support and i think it's going to be a lot easier to move through this even though tax reform the tough issue a lot easier to move thr

the trump campaign put out this statement after the report came out. "daily beast" report that indicates that they were trying to collude with a russian cutout, wikileaks, to hurt clinton and help trump during the campaign. the statement in response to this makes clear that cambridge -- who? we have so never heard of them, can't even spell it. this is the statement today from the trump campaign, in response to the leak. we as campaign made choice to rely on the voter data of the republican national committee to help elect president donald j. trump. any claims that voter data from any other source played a key role in our victory are false. ambridge canalytica? did they volunteer? for a minute? bannon flynn mercer who? they didn't do anything for us. cambridge -- as more and more ties are proven between the russian government and the russian campaign to affect our election and all the different people and entities involved in the trump for president campaign, it's starting to feel like one way you can know that something is salient story and proving a point they can

mitt romney in two thousand and twelve in washington our own friend eleanor clift columnist for the daily beast political commentator and author a lot of subjects to get into will start with a lot he puerto rico is it going to be from the katrina well it certainly looks like it could be i mean the dynamic here is very very problematic and by the way larry this is all self-inflicted wounds for the president right he's coming along tweeting attacking personally now the mayor of san juan i mean these are the sorts of things that presidents generally don't do so if you think about this as an opportunity for the president really to bring people together around natural disasters usually these are things that end up being advantageous for presidents in the long run this case seems to be somewhat different in a lot of it's of his own doing you're republican i am i disappointed i am a little disappointed in the way in which he's gone after people i think it's fair to defend the response of the government i think fema is doing a lot on the ground i think they are trying to do to the best of their abiliti

ben holmes, cnn news editor of the daily beast. so what do we know. >> yeah, a bunch of low level people probably, wi place, that they were in fact at the end of the but you said you got du it. i'm sure i did. i have no idea, i'm sure it happened. >> it was a pretty well executed troll. this part of the story i find to be the weirdest part of the story. whoever was calculated the effort reward ratio on this, like, well, yes, we'll have someone make troll accounts on twitter. but that's what they did. they did this, they had people showing up at rallies, not a lot, but like, events. what was the thinking here? i can't quite get it. >> this was actually, "daily beast" you guys did an excellent job on this, in trying to blow the top off of the white house, and look at the russian operation and see how they did it. there was a great investigative report that came out in a russian business daily, rbc, that dove tails perfectly with this "dily beast" story, and it's what the obama administration has been telling us, people have been getti

russia went to to legitimize its troll accounts to social media and influence american voters s "the daily beastthat it was retweeted numerous times by key trump campaign staffers. joining me now is senior news editor for "the daily beast." and michael zeldin is back with you. ben, you helped breaks this story, obviously, tell us how this happened. what does it look like? >> sort of pretend to be the ten, underscore, gop. most of the stuff it tweeted was standard republican talking points, anti-democrat stuff, and then every one in a while it would veer into kremlin talking points, marine le pen, even though this is a tennessee gop account. we found out this week it was in fact based out of the intranet research agent troll familiar in petersburg. >> the key question is, did anyone retweeting it know it was atually emanating from a russian troll farm? >> we asked the campaign, they did not respond. we do know donald trump jr., the president's son retweeted how there was florida fraud in that account. kelly anne conway retweeted two days before the election. michael flynn jr., the son of michael

assange told the daily beast we can confirm and approach and can confirm it was rejected by wikileaks. congressman eric was a democrat from california, member of the house intelligence committee. congressman, what do you make of this revelation? >> good evening, chris. you know, without even going into our committee's investigation, the revelation from julian assange and wikileaks itself proves overwhelming evidence of an eagerness to work with the russians. you have peter smith who was seeking these e-mails on behalf of general michael flynn. you have don jr. taking a meeting where the subject line was clinton, russia, private, confidential, he was offered information on hillary clinton. you have felix sader, who is close with vladimir putin telling donald trump's lawyer michael cohen that he himself can engineer the election for the president and we can get our boy elected. you have roger stone working with gooseifer and joule young assange. that was a concerted effort, people inside and out who are working with the campaign to work with the russians. we have proven at the very mini

first up, "the daily beast" is now reporting on how the head of a data analytics company called cambridgeca which worked with the trump campaign helped to find hillary clinton's missing e-mails. also, republicans got their act together to pass a budget that paves the way for a tax reform. the first step. and finally the president today declared a health emergency to fight the opioid problem. let's bring in our panel. everybody here, i'm going to try to get to hot stuff for people to think about here. starting with you. tell me about this thing that you're working on. >> what i reported yesterday is the closest known connection between people on the inside of the trump campaign and julian assange. trump's own cia director has characterized wikileaks as a hostile foreign intelligence service and this is something that julian assange confirmed to me. trump paid $6 million to and julian assange. this is a great interest to investigators, both on capitol hill -- >> you're trying to gather trump with getting the e-mails out of the public light. they did it. trump did it? >> we don't know. peopl

first off, we heard about another report to "the daily beast" is running, the sky actually rented hotel rooms outside another concert, perhaps he was going to perpetrate this horrible incident on september 28th instead of having it on sunday night. what do you take from that? >> that hasn't been corroborated yet but it's interesting, could it have been a dry run, did he go to this potentially and lose his nerve? where in this doesn't play into, when the girlfriend leaves -- is he somewhat free from any earthly concerns? what pushed him over the edge? at this point we don't have any ideology, we don't have any massive life event or anything that would normally trigger it. was it just some sort of psychotic break? all of those things play into it and what brought him into that hotel room overlooking a country music festival where "the daily beast" report had it overlooking a pop and rap festival. there is no way to tell was he targeting one kind of crud or anything else. it's painful to not have any real information as to what this guy was up to. >> brian: i want to do it with experts lik

. >> tonight, the daily beast reports that some aides in the white house held out hope that secretary tillerson would offer his resignation following nbc's reporting. three white house officials speaking as unnamed sources to the daily beast spoke about, quote, how they wished he would just leave. in a perfect world he would have quit right then and there another said. buzzfeed is reporting that one expressed confidence do due to a suicide pact. forged between defense secretary james mattis, treasury secretary steven mnuchin and all three vowed to leave in the president makes moves against one of them. during the transition, when president-elect trump was holding virtual public auditions for secretary of state, including this one with mitt romney, republican senator bob corker publicly took his name out of consideration for secretary of state. today, senator corker said this. >> i think secretary tillerson, secretary mattis and chief of staff kelly are those people that help separate our country from chaos. and i support them very much. >> joining us now, eli stokel, also with us max

when you see this report out today following up on the daily beast. they're saying, what does that say to you about who else would likely know? >> it is difficult to say. trump hires the best people. he'll let them handle everything. he'll delegate. as we know, he is very bad at doing that. he is sort of a micromanager in a lot of ways and yeah imagine the campaign borworked that differently. i saw rebekah mercer at afterparties. she is very much an insider. >> very much an insider. i want to play julian assange on this. reporters understand the need to protect sources and sometimes sources are criminals. at least accused of criminal conduct and i've reported on the legal aspects. as a political matter, not legal, assange clearly went further and everyone remembers it and echoed a lot of trump political agenda on downplaying it. take a listen to julian assange. >> our source is not the russian government and it is not state party. >> so this is something a 14-year-old kid, a 14-year-old kid could have hacked. >> there he is making the case on a program

but what went on is that our reporting is "the daily beast" reporting is that senator that cambridge analytica paid $6 million by the trump team, had people embedded in the trump campaign at one point in time, reached out to julian assange, who you know is no friend of the u.s., and said will you helps us hack, get these clinton e-mails. knowing that's the reporting are you comfortable with that or is that more than just trying to get an edge? >> well, i think it's all about getting an edge, whether it's the democrat or republican, and if you look at both sides, they're trying to get ahead and trying to win a big battle and a lot of things happen, lot of things we don't like, but part of it is politics, part of it maybe you go too far. i don't know all the facts. we'll see. we ought to bring them out. >> we ought to bring them out. i do want to get to tax cuts. do you think it's okay looking for help from the russians to get an snej. >> oh, no. i didn't say that. i said people look for it, including the campaign run by hillary clinton and anybody else. they're looking for help any way
