and i tweeted. i tweeted. can you believe?s, there is at least one president trump regrets. it came when kim cake out of seclusion to appear at the 2014 oscars. having a real hard time watching the academy awards, trump tweeted. kim should sue her plastic surgeon. friends say the 81-year-old was so devastated she didn't leave home for months. >> i said, so, why did you do this to kim novak and his first response was i didn't get into any trouble for it, did i? >> after announcing his run for president, trump eventually apologized. >> the fact that i caught him bothered him. and he had to talk about it quite a bit and eventually say well, you're right, it wasn't a very nice thing to do. now, i think he was sensitive to being called out. >> tweets. >> i don't see that as an appropriate comment. >> i'm appalled. >> i think at times he's rude and crude. >> there is no shortage of voices calling for the president to cut back and tone it down, including his own voters. >> how do you think he's doing? >> man, it's kind of crazy. we h

if you love him and you love the tweets, you see the tweets and you are happier.f you don't like him and you don't think very much of him, he tweets and you still feel that same way. it just reinforces what is already there. i'm not sure they break any new ground in terms of popularity or not. >> i agree, melissa. his base like seeing someone fight back. the media can't beat up on a republican or anymore. but the president hadn't tweeted out about republican or anymore. not having tapes of then fbi director james comey and that he responds by leaking something to columbia university, which prompted a special counsel to be named, if that doesn't happen, the special counsel probably doesn't exist. that's the negatives of trump's tweeting. the positive is that he is 22.7 million followers and sometimes stories will get covered as a result of him pressing enough, such as the dnc or dossier story recovered pretty extensively. >> melissa: a lot of people have noticed there's this flame or that has broken out between james tapper and roland s martin. the tweet goes -- it

with a tweet to on wednesday the u.s. president reads we did three islamophobia videos posted by the far right u.k. extremist group britain first now one claims to show muslims pushing a boy off a roof fine other appears to show a man destroying a statue of the virgin mary and the third allegedly shows a muslim migrant beating up a dutch boy on crutches now the dutch embassy in the u.s. has already debunked the last video is fake news tweeting facts do matter the perpetrator of the violent act in this video was born and raised in the netherlands he received an completed his sentence under dutch law what's more dutch media reporting that the attacker is not even muslim but it didn't end there the spokesman of british prime minister to resign may publicly criticize the u.s. president saying british people overwhelmingly reject the prejudice of the far right it is wrong for it the president to have done this or trump immediately fired back tweeting don't focus on me focus on did a struct of radical islamic terrorism that is

three of those videos that he tweeted were originally tweeted by this woman her name is jay de france and she is the deputy leader of britain lost to france and was convicted of abusing a muslim woman and she is facing fear the charges of racially aggravated harassment now as you can imagine trumps free tweeting has given her an enormous burden where she went from fifty thousand twitter followers yesterday eighty thousand today we don't know why trump is retreating because he doesn't actually follow her he doesn't follow britain first but what he has done is given this potty a big boost and so everyone's talking about them including are we still in the reader if he knew difference more tweeted her tweets if you're sitting that's for sure as always thank you very much. i want to go to washington now and bring in our correspondent there michelle of nigga michelle good evening to you are we going to see michelle that's the question there yes all right good evening to you michelle first of all let's listen to how the white house is trying to explain this reid tweeting route. whether it's

and was tweeting about something that he shouldn't have been tweeting ability.knows. a bulk of his fortune is paced on his brand. he likens that to hotels and vineyards, all kinds of stuff, stake, vodka, i don't know, water. he knows that brand. when he re-tweets he knows full well he is giving his brand and frankly our brand, the american brand, to far right neo-nazis -- by the way, on saturday he retweeted from a website, the israeli newspaper described as far right anti-semitic conspiracy website. so maybe he's an equal opportunity endorser of hatred, but he knows what he's doing when he uses that trump brand. that's what he's doing. >> with a jewish daughter and jewish son-in-law -- >> then why would he retweet an anti-semitic website? >> he did it when he was a casino owner. he said, i want guys in yamakas counting my money. this guy has a problem with bigotry. he's had a problem with bigotry for decades. >> the secret to any politician who cannot unite -- if you cannot unite, you divide, divide, divide. >>> up next our other big breaking news. a television

he in the same day said i don't pay much attention to his tweets. it's hard to know what to make of republican reaction or lack thereof to those despicable retweets. >> when it affects america's diplomatic relationships around the world, it isn't just someone tweeting before breakfast. it becomes something that's a legitimate concern. >> promoting hate. it's nothing short of that. >> senate republicans opening up formal debate on the tax reform plan. the clock is now ticking. the amendment process expected to heat up this afternoon. anybody's guess when a final vote might take place. senators and aides telling cnn tomorrow is likely. >> the so called trigger favored by deficit hawks would hike taxes if there's not enough economic growth. there's disagreement whether it should target the individual or corporate rates. >> also how this trigger would work. what constitutes economic growth and how big the hikes would have to be. all still unclear. republicans are grappling with keeping their bill under this 1 -- $1.5 trillion limit to pass it with a lim

mehdi: yes, he tweets at the wrong theresa may.ple say trump is impulsive on twitter, he is erratic, unstable. he tweets at the wrong theresa may, you might think, this is a moment to undo that. then he deletes that tweet and retweets again with the correct theresa may to make sure he attacks his close ally publicly after a pointless spat the started by deliberately retweeting fascist videos. those videos are still up on his twitter timeline the last time i checked a few minutes ago. he has not un-retweeted those despite having been told this is a fascist, far right group. as for the state visit, the mayor of london has maintained consistently it is time to rescind this. the british government won't do it. theresa may won't do it. she has called this all wrong. for theresa may, this is deeply embarrassing. she was the first leader to fly out and meet donald trump, where she held his hand at the white house. a new book is out in the u.k. which revealed that may and her advisers believed that donald trump would moderate, he would giv

that is not happening basically because they objected to that tweet the president saying in that tweet he doesn't see a deal and putting that out there before they have a chance to prevent a government shut down by the way could happen on december 8. brooke, this white house is facing prospect only achievement of the year may be avoiding a government shut down. put a side tax reform they have to make sure lights stay on in the white house. but they did put out a statement in response to schumer and nancy pelosi not coming over to the white house. it says, the president invitation still stands and urges them to show up and get to work these issues are too important. brooke, one sentence there stands out to me in all of that. the president, his invitation still stands. encourages them to put a side their pettiness. obviously a lot of other democrats on the other side saying really, pettiness, isn't that what the president showed earlier this morning when he s tweeting at them calling them chuck and nancy and saying they can't courtroom to a deme to a meeting takes place. >> jim acosta, t

tweets.nd then two days later trump junior tweets out the very link the wikileaks asked him to tweet out. is it possible it's a coincidence that 15 minutes after wikileaks tweets his son that his father does it? >> to answer your question specifically, is it possible? sure. i suppose that's possible. do i believe that to be the case? i don't think so. there are two things that come out. one from the wikileaks side. very important, anderson. they are quite clear they are in this business to support the donald trump campaign. there's no other purpose revealed in the wikileaks side of the exchange of communications. and then there are several examples in your time line, the one you just brought up being one of them, certainly examples where the campaign clearly synchronized its actions with the actions of wikileaks. wikileaks even then was known to be hostile to the united states and has already been pointed out in your show tonight. mike pompeo has declared it to be a hostile nonstate intellige

they have to run tweets during half time.ne thing he does that a lot of people don't like it, he points you out when you don't play the game like you're supposed to and that brings politics in our homes, we now know when a vote goes down who didn't do it. so before it was like, this didn't get passed, well, i guess it's on the president, no, corker didn't vote. mccain. he did it. can i vote that guy out? yeah. that's his ass then so we now know it's transparent. it's like a board game for the whole family to play now. we all know -- we are all little senators and guys, we all can play the game, we all can run now because we see it for what it is. >> we are learning for so many things because of him and it's true, it's now kind of fun, i mean, people didn't even know about the different branches of government. i didn't know there were branches. >> ic one good thing -- whether you like him or not, he has certainly exposed a lot of stuff that's under the radar, ie, if you're a conservative, constitutional conservative, i don't c

actually the tweet it tweet tweeted by one character the one that she's now being accused of wanting to tweet outcomes not to god. it could be an issue or maybe the state is trying to get their organization not come up since they've been producing. you know political such and comity that course in this state where you just heard from the head of the martha's boss saying this is a clear attack on free speech what can you tell us about the state of free speech in zimbabwe. freedom of expression and free speech in zimbabwe. is continued and limited by the existing laws more so with the. means to which was recently introduced so by. security ministry we separate i'm going to introduce you nice that is the kind of the reshuffle you find right now these they will be targets you know and continually will freedom of speech and you speech at it when social media and one line because that's what this piece that zimbabweans we freely expressing themselves about what is opinion the country and the kind of leadership that is in the country are privileged thanks for bringing us up to date on the s

from he actually the treated in tweet tweeted by one character the one that he's now being accused of wanting to tweet out on to the to god. it would be unusual or maybe this state is trying to get at their organization not since they have been producing. you know politico such and quantity that porks if the state. all right some sports news now and in morocco crowds of people flooded the streets in nearly all the country's major cities to celebrate the african champions league title secured by we dug casablanca after a one zero win over egyptian side ali in the finals second leg the fans took to the streets waving rock and flags singing the famous old chant of victory. which means congratulations to us. a quick reminder of the top story we're following for you u.s. president donald trump has arrived in tokyo on the first leg of his asia tour he's hoping to bolster support from allies in the region to face some to north korea's nuclear missile program. and don't forget you can always get d.w. news on the go just download our out from google play or from the apple store that will give

it wasn't quite the tweets which required more effort.ion. >> is does -- i will say the controversy of the sort of retweeting the hate group. did overshadow some of the really significant and painful analysis of the president's tax bill that shows it is not something that's for the middle class in it terms of tax cuts. it's for big companies. the white house keeps saying it's going to explode the economy. but a lot of critical analysis that's going through so quickly with little discussion. all of that did overshadow some of the criticism of the tax plan yesterday. >> it's a double-edged sword. for better or worse, people were not talking or asking about the tax plan yesterday as much as they probably would have been if he hadn't tweeted that. he did have a substantial step yesterday. voted to move forward with it. got all the lawmakers -- >> yes. >> lawmakers who were signaling concerns so far have been willing to move it along. now we're at the stage where amendments can be offered, but soon the moment of truth time for the senate befor

he said the tweets we re people like me. he said the tweets were wrong.g, the communities secretary said, i view then echoed by the tories' leader in scotland. there is a sense, i think, that political anger and condemnation about this in westminster is growing. the foreign office minister, alistair burt, also a few hours ago re— tweeted comments by the archbishop of canterbury, justin welby, who said that these tweets should be removed and donald trump should be removed and donald trump should make clear that he opposes racism. i think there is a bit of a head of steam building here, cross— party head of steam building here, cross—party calls condemning donald trump in the strongest language possible. this is putting pressure, i think, on number ten to do more perhaps than they have done already. of course, in the backdrop is this state visit that was offered and accepted right at the beginning of the year. there is no date in the diary, but there has to be now a very big question mark over that. you think it could go that far now, do you? well, possibly

if it is a tweet if you look at the treats that she's alleged to have tweeted did not do originate from. actually the treated it tweet tweeted by one country to the one that she's now being accused of wanting to treat our continent to god. it would be unusual or maybe this state is trying to get their organization not gumma since they have been producing. you know political such and quantity that porks if the state where his her the head of my gown but t.v. martha's boss saying this is a clear attack on free speech what can you tell us about the state of free speech in zimbabwe. freedom of expression and free speech in zimbabwe. is continued and limited by the existing laws more so with. mr leach was recently introduced to cyber security ministry we separate i'm going to introduce you nice latest kind of the reshuffle you find right now these they will be targets you know and containing all freedom of speech and you speak one social media and one line because that was this piece that zimbabweans with freely expressing themselves about what is happening in their country and the kind of l

i saw kelly saying i see the tweets but not dictated by the tweets.d, believe it or not i do not follow the tweets and i find out later what he has said. that would be like cnn management saying we don't watch this channel. we only hear later what happens on the channel. it doesn't make a lot of sense that there is not more involvement in crafting these presidential statements but, you know, we see the proof right there. there is nobody editing president trump's twitter feed before it goes out. >> cnn management saying we only watch television and don't read cnn.com. andre, back to you. let's talk about russia. brent brought it up. i want you to listen to what the president did in vietnam during this news conference what tries to appear walk back what he said earlier to reporters regarding president putin's meddling in the 2016 election. >> i believe he feels that he and russia did not meddle in the election. as to whether or not i believe it or not, i'm with aour agencis as constituted in their leadersh leadership. i believe in our intelligence agenc

tweet out. >> yeah.he plot thickens here. >> that's either a huge coincidence or somebody talked to candidate trump about it. >> well, i think it unlikely that it's coincidental. and i do think that will, again, whatever met for you want to use, piece of the puzzle, tile of the mosaic, whatever, is that -- and i am sure special counsel mueller is doing this is to do a very detailed, meticulous reconstruction of the sequence of all these events, these communications and then in turn what was said publicly. but, again, you know, the pitfall here, i think, is getting into the weeds of each of these startling revelations on a day-to-day basis and kind of losing sight of the bigger picture here. >> just how bizarre and inappropriate. does this qualify as collusion to you? not with russia per se, but with wikileaks. >> well, as i've said before, i'm not an attorney and i don't know what constitutes collusion. and i'm not even sure that's a legal -- that's an offense. >> right. it's not. >> it certainly has the

trump top's have urged apologize for the tweet. to bring us the latest, let's cross to duncan woodside in london. the u.k. pretty much united in condemning these tweets by president trump. duncan woodside: absolutely. yes. perhaps it is worth starting with a bit of a background on the organization and person responsible for the original tweets. the tweets were originally made by an individual who is a deputy leader of britain's first, a very much far-right organization here in the u.k.. memberset up by former of the british national party, and she herself is facing two separate charges of religiously aggravated harassment, and she is currently on bail for those alleged offenses. as you mentioned, there has been around condemnation of donald trump retweeting these videos which purport to show muslims doing unspeakable things, including attacking a boy on a , and another video where a 17-year-old is prone from the roof of a building in egypt. has said the, group written first is a divisive and hateful group. on the other end of the p

why do you think the president did re—tweet those three tweets from britain first?ree tweets from britain first? what was behind that? i think he saw it in his twitter news feed. he only follows 45 people i think. he only follows 45 people i think. he does not sit there and research who the original tweet was. by the way, jayda fransen who the original tweet was. by the way, jayda fra nsen has who the original tweet was. by the way, jayda fransen has a twitter verified symbol next to her name, saw that, saw the content, was interested in the content and thought this is something people need to know about. is this a shift, you might have heard that in diplomatic circles in washington, they think this is a new low. is that right? people will always find a way to criticise president trump. that's an ice this in real terms. we have had breathless coverage of this. the whole of the political establishment and media establishment and media establishment going into overdrive, hysterical over this, over tweets. an emergency debate in parliament. but he has 45 million follow

we ran through a couple of those tweets. i know the hill is off for the week, but taxes are front and centers. what do the tweets in the last 24 hours tell you. >> reporter: it's already been a terrible lent morning for him. this tweet fight with lavar ball stems from the fact that ball a couple days ago essentially downplayed president trump's role in freeing his son and two other players from a potential ten-year sentence in china. the president did play a role, according to our sources, by speaking directly with the chinese president xi jinping about the incident and shortly after that, the players were sent home back to washington. trump here already pretty upset about the way in which he's not been given enough credit. he's also been going after other folks on social media, including a republican senator, all of this happens while the white house, as you mentioned, is trying to push congress to pass taxes, and we ahead a bit yesterday from a senior white house official, the office the management and budget director mick

he's tweeted alt-right people. think that he believes -- sarah huckabee sanders defended him saying this is a threat we face, i guess meaning radical islam. i don't know a lot of people that would disagree, but with that's not what the videos showed. it just showed allegedly individual allegedly muslim committing some sort of violence in the same way he has talked about mexicans picking out a random mexican person who's done something bad and then putting that on all mexicans and putting this on all muslims. and so it's inherently racist. >> where did had he put it on all muslims in that tweet? i don't think it's there. >> what's the point of tweeting out three videos showing muslims committing a crime? what is that proving. >> radical islamic terrorists are two bad things. >> hold on. it was a video of somebody breaking the statue of virgin mary. is that what we're afraid of, smashing statues of the virgin mary? >> the bad things that radical islamic terrorism represents. it's not the best choice of videos, withou

you can see the tweet here. time magazine called to say i was probably going to be named person of the year like last year, but i would have to agree to an interview and major photo shoot. i said probably is no good and i took a pass. thanks anyway. i'll tell you what i thought that tweet was so interesting, right, it reveals something about the president's psychology, but it also speaks to his lack of interviews with any outlets not named fox news. for more than six months now, president trump's been avoiding major television networks like cnn, abc, nbc, cbs, and only speaking to his friends at fox news. you'll see his interviews since robert mueller was appointed special counsel, nine with fox news, one with cbn, christian broadcasting network, one with another christian broadcasting network and one with sinclair and none for the major u.s. television networks. the last time president trump spoke with time magazine was also back in may, before mueller was appointed. i wonder if his rejection of the person of t

she tweeted. white supremacist david duke also praising the attack on muslims.ing thank god for trump. they drew widespread condemnation, including a rebuke from british prime minister theresa may. it is wrong for the president to have done this, then adding britain first seems to divide communities through their hateful narratives. the white house dismissed the extraordinary criticism that reined in from all sides of the political spectrum, saying the president was simply drawing attention to threats the u.s. is facing. >> i think his goal is to promote strong borders and national security. >> reporter: it comes only a week before the third version of president trump's travel faces scrutiny once again in the courts. judges have ruled his previous bans as unconstitutional, in part for target muslims. james clapper, the foreign policier director of national intelligence said the president's statements were dangerous. >> perhaps inciting and encouraging anti-muslim violence and as well causes i think our friends and allies around the world to wonder about the judg

the president did what he did yesterday, in terms of tweeting, re—tweeting britain first, i think the choice but to point out that that was wrong. she was correct to do so. of course, we want to have a good relationship with the united states. they are our closest security allie, one of our most important economic partners and we wa nt important economic partners and we want to have that close relationship and need to engage with the united states, including the president of the united states. but when he's got something as badly wrong as he has, we are right to call him out on it. mrgauke we are right to call him out on it. mr gauke went tonne say he thought it might be "educational" for the prime minister to come to britain as pa rt prime minister to come to britain as part of that state visit. quite apart from the controversy over the state visit, this matters because there is a question mark now about relations between mrs may and donald trump. remember, this was sort of a key pa rt trump. remember, this was sort of a key part of mrs may's sort of diplomatic offensive when she bec

at least one of those videos tweeted was perhaps not showing what is claimed in the tweet. spokeswoman in a difficult position, trying to square that circle. let's listen to what she said. you are putting words in my mouth. i said that the threat is real and it needs to be addressed. it must be talked about and that is what the president is doing by bringing that up. this is now difficult for downing street, isn't it? it will leave them in a tricky position. the statement from downing street earlier said that british people overwhelmingly reject the rhetoric of the far right. when it comes to these videos and it comes to donald trump's tweet tonight you need to look at what is happening here and what he is trying to draw attention to hear. donald trump wa nts to attention to hear. donald trump wants to build a wall on the border with mexico. he also wants to put in immigration policies to ban people from predominantly muslim countries coming in to the united states. to do that, he is looking to his supporters to pressure congress. that is what this is about. he has already

the president is tweeting more, not less. to the point of isn't kelly supposed to be moderating him, everybody in his entire universal told him to stop tweeting from his friends to advisers to supporters. it's unanimously agreed upon. he's even tweeting more. it's not something he's going to stop. he apparently thinks it's working for him in some way or it's almost like compunction maybe. we've spent a lot of time psychoanalyzing these tweets. i suppose he's the only one who knows. >> it comes at a time gloria, whether he there is a case before the supreme court on thetable ban largely affecting muslim majority countries. all of this anti-muslim attitude sort of reminded me of what he said on cnn during the campaign. he told anderson cooper in march of last year this. listen. >> i think islam haye lates us. there's something there a tremendous hatred there. we have to get to the bottom of it. there is an unbelievable hatred of us. >> those where is pretty strong words obviously. you know. >> he believed. >> a great friend of

of august it is tweeted by jayda fra nsen on 20th of august it is tweeted by jayda fransen on the 3rdntly she tweeted this exact video with the exact headline on the 3rd of october. it was retweeted a few d oze n 3rd of october. it was retweeted a few dozen times, but she retweeted this video again in its original form on the 28th of november. under the headline muslim migrant beats up dutch boy on crutches which is identical to the version of the video from pamela. fascinating. all of which doesn't explain how mr trump came to retweet these videos. well, there's been speculation that ann coulter may have had something to do with it. she's a right—wing commentator and mr trump follows her on twitter. she too had retweeted the video. well she gave an interview to the bbc‘s today programme earlier. i think he has only given as good as he gets coming years been verbally attack from the mother country for a lot longer than he has been attacking britain, starting with the petition against him. we are talking about him tweeting the prime minister of the uk. answer the question. you answer t

the president's tweets.hat it may well be he thinks just mud by diing the water so he in the media, the american public don't just focus on one thing like the possibility that is starting to bubble up, that general flynn might be copping a plea, doesn't, we don't all focus on that. and that perhaps he thinks helps mem him in the long run to sort of string this whole controversy. >> you think a plea deal with michael flynn, the president's former national security adviser may be in the work sns. >> we've got to couple this with the fact we saw a break in the relationship with the flynn team and white house lawyers. you put this together, there's a game of chicken. the special counsel said that judgment day is coming up. are you going to plea and finally somebody on the flynn team said okay, we'll break. >> because we also learned today that the grand jury testimony has delayed and that seems to be an indication that maybe something -- >> that's right. i was couple wg the break between the legal team from flyn

but we struck up a relationship this is a dialogue tweet us with hostile a.j. stream and one of your pitches might make the next show join the global conversation at this time on al-jazeera. al-jazeera where ever you. the u.s. president arrives in beijing with the hope of stepping up the pressure on china to rein in north korea. this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up the u.s. calls for fairness and transparency the saudi arabia carries out its anticorruption drive. sexual harassment scandals ministerial slip ups and stalled breaks it talks what's next for britons in battle government. and hash tag two hundred eighty characters why twitter is doubling its one hundred forty character limit and what it means for the social media platform. u.s. president donald trump has just arrived in beijing with a message for china's president xi jinping get tough on north korea earlier trump gave a speech in seoul where he called out china and russia by name to put pressure on pyongyang the president also called on north korea not to underestimate the u.s. well earli

those tweets has economic and national security implications. tom costello, nbc news, washington. >>> there is a striking new warning from the government about climate change. a major new federal study concludes humans are the dominant cause of the rise in global temperature since the mid-20th century. the white house approved the report's release, though it contradicts much of the trump administration's stance on climate change. >>> we turn now to a revealing look at just how cunning and deceptive those russian efforts were to influence america's election. a disturbing example on social media, a twitter account claiming to belong to an american woman, but actually operated from russia intent on spreading disinformation in the u.s. nbc's jo ling kent has details. >> reporter: on twitter and on her blog, jenna abrams sure looked like an american, commenting on everything from kim kardashian to missile defense with plenty of strong opinions sprinkled in between. one of her tweets in 2016 went viral saying, to those people who hate the confederate

listen, we can overlook at the president's tweets, but this was a pretty remarkable tweet and i wantup on the screen there. calling lavar ball a poor man's version of don king, an ungrateful fool, exclamation point. looks like there is some dog whistling going on there, ryan. wouldn't you agree? >> what does that mean? randomly comparing him to another african-american celebrity and bizarrely one of the few african-american surrogates that trump had. >> supported him. >> i don't know how to analyze it. i don't know exactly what he's saying, but there's been a lot of commentary from a lot of people who, like you said, dog whistle. there is obvious racist overtones here. he constantly tweets at and attacks african-american, people of color from twitter. he has some issue with people of color who call him out. it's just -- it is a pattern. i know i've said this in the past and people said, oh, well, he calls everyone out, it's not a race thing. i think it's a race thing. >> we talked about that yesterday. there have been prominent athletes very critical of president trump. greg popovich

the tweets today. against muslims is already having negative consequences. two indian men were targeted at a bar in kansas back in february. a white man walked in screaming get out of my country. charged with a hate crime. killing one. targeting them, according to prosecutors, for their race, the color of their skin, their religion. this is already -- it's already had bad consequences here on american soil. where is donald trump standing up for this poor indian man and his family who lost his life because a guy went after him because of the color of his skin? incited by what many believe is the president's words and rhetoric on muslims. >> what is the white house to do? they don't view him as someone who can be controlled. as bill kristol said, people have taken some comfort in the kinds of people in the national security apparatus. it's now sort of accepted as fact that if they didn't resign after charlottesville and didn't resign after he offended the navajo code talkers this week and didn't resign a

and two days later trump junior does in fact tweet out the link he was asked to tweet out. >> yeah. well plot thickens here. >> that's a huge coincidence. >> i think unlikely that it's continuance dental. i do think that again, whatever metaphor you want to use, piece of the puzzle. tile of the mosaic, whatever, is that -- and i'm sure, special counsel mueller's doing this, do a very detailed me tick clus reconstruction of the events and then determine what was said publicly. again, it's -- the pitfall i think is getting into the weeds of each of these revelations on a day-to-day basis and kind of loses sight of the bigger picture here. >> does this qualify as collusion with you? not with russia per se by wikileaks? >> well, liked before i'm not an attorney and i don't know what constitutes collusion. i'm not sure that's an offense. >> right t not. >> it certainly have the appears and smell and feel of a developing conspiracy. >> richard clapper appreciate your time. >>> next with our panel of experts. be right back. jay chooses to run every day. no matter what it brings. or where h

but we have to stop the divisive rhetoric and stop the training tweeting -- stop the tweeting and sit down and meet , our responsibility before the end of this year. it can be done, not with these points. sen. schumer: we will take questions. reporter: you are not going to stop the president from tweeting so does this mean that going , forward you're not planning to sit down with him? sen. schumer: all he has to do is say he is serious and wants to undergo a real negotiation and we will sit down with him . but there is an alternative when the president stays out of it we seem to do much better, for -- the 4 leaders. and we are happy to sit down with them, that is how we did it the last time the government funding expired in 2017. the president doesn't indicate he is serious and we will not sit down for a photo op. this is serious stuff. reporter: do you think the democrats might have overplayed their hand on this? republicans said wait a minute, we have a chance to do what we want. >> they could have done this without our votes. in this case, they need 60 votes . so on this issue, unl

and yet, we have a president retweeti ng tweets and yet, we have a president retweeting tweets from anot as minoras his words are wrong. it is not as minor as you suggest. but hate propaganda is vile and a model and should stop. i think many of us have been clear about that. sajid javid has spoken clearly about this because he's absolutely right, this is not the kind of britain we want to build on the kind of world we wa nt to build on the kind of world we want to build and it is wrong to promote such views. this seems to be getting kicked into the long grass but is that acceptable? getting kicked into the long grass but is that acceptable ?|j getting kicked into the long grass but is that acceptable? i don't think there is any hurry to arrange a state visit and i don't suppose anyone is getting their diary out in numberten at buckingham anyone is getting their diary out in number ten at buckingham palace today. thank you. we will hear from the pm. she is speaking injordan at about 12:30pm, a chunky speech to start with, so she probably won't get to the question—and—answer session, wh

the british prime minister criticizes his tweet. now the uk parliament is debating if the invitation for a state visit should be withdrawn. >>> and refusing to resign. allegations mounting against congressman john conyers. one of his accusers breaking a nondisclosure agreement to share her story this morning. >> it was sexual harassment, violating, violating my body. >>> we begin this morning with matt lauer responding publicly for the first time since he was fired from nbc news following allegations of sexual misconduct after more accuse are es come forward. lawer releasing this statement just a short time ago. quote, there are no words to express my sorrow and regret for the pain i have caused others by words and actions. to the people i have hurt, i am truly sorry. as i am writing this, i realize the depth of the damage and disappointment i have left behind at home and at nbc. some of what is being said about me is untrue or mischaracterized, but there is enough truth in these stories to make me feel embarrassed and ashamed. i re
