new explosive reporting that the president pressured a foreign leader to pursue an investigation that could deliver potential political dirt on his possible 2020 challenger. the "washington post" and "the new york times" now also reporting what "the wall street journal" broke yesterday, that president trump pressed the newly-elected president of ukraine to investigate the son of former vice president joe biden. nbc news has not independently confirmed it. "the wall street journal" reports during a phone call in july, president trump urged the ukrainian president about eight times to investigate hunter biden. according to people familiar with the matter. a source tells the journal, it does not appear the president offered anything in return but the month after the call, the administration did block aid to ukrai ukraine until last week. there is a bitter standoff. the trump administration is refusing to release a whistle plore complaint about the president reportedly involving ukraine. president trump yesterday defiant. >> i don't know the identity of the whistleblower. i just hear it is a partisan person. meaning it comes out from another party. but i don't have any idea. but i can say that it was a totally appropriate conversation. it was actually a

this is now being reported by three national newspapers, the "washington post," "the new york times," and "the wall street journalournal first broke the story that president trump repeatedly pressed the newly elected president of ukraine to investigate the son of former vice president joe biden. nbc news has not independently confirmed it. the "journal" reports during a phone call in july president trump a urged the ukrainian president about eight times to investigate hunter biden. according to people familiar with the matter. a source tells the "journal" it does not appear the president offered anything in return. but the month after that call, the administration did block aid to ukraine until last week. >>> former vice president joe biden released a statement which said, in part, if these reports are true, then there is truly no bottom to president trump's willingness to abuse his power and abase our country. at a minimum, donald trump should immediately release the transcript of the call in question. >> adding to the political firestorm, the mistvy deepening over the whistleblower complaint, which the administ

. >> the strongest reporting is coming from newspapers like the "wall street journal" and the "new york times," the "washington postresident in a call encouraged or pressed his counterpart from ukraine some eight times to investigate this issue, and that's -- that number is significant, because it indicates he was pushing hard for it in this call. lots of unanswered questions. there are indications that there might be more to what the whistle-blower shared in addition to just this one particular call. so that's, no doubt, one of the reasons congress and others are asking for, a., a transcript of that call released and, b., more action to the report that the whistle-blower made. >> all right. thank you. geoff, stick around a little if you don't mind. another story coming up. the fight over trump the tax returns is heeding up again. the president's legal team throwing up a new legal road block to try to stop the release of eight years' worth of returns. returns. something great from mr. clean. stop struggling to clean tough messes with sprays. try clean freak! it has three times the cleaning power of the leading spra

"new york times" "washington post" and "wall street journal" all front cover-up. >> well, there was aover-up, but i also think that this is a sprawling scandal here. and that the phone call, as bad as it is, is only one data point. i think this is going to be the challenge for democrats that they have to move quickly obviously. but they also have to be thorough in their investigation. and it is not just one communication with ukraine. and we don't know did the president have communications with the chinese? did he have communications with the russians? if he's obsessed with joe biden, do you think the only country he talked to about this was ukraine? they need to do a thorough investigation. they need to build the case. they need to put this into the context, it is historic context of how rare impeachment is, what the constitution envisioned for impeachment. and then they have to act. and i think there's going to be a little bit of tension here. but again the focus on cover-up obviously puts it into that watergate level. but i also think that they need to be focused on the substance a

look, reporters from "the washington post," "the new york times," from "the new yorker," bloomberg, "wall street journal" are all looking into this as they should. it's separate and apart from what is going on with congress and the director of national intelligence. they're obviously linked, but two things can be done. we can walk and chew gum at the same time and find out what is going on with vice president biden and find out what's going on with president trump at the same time. i think the candidates politically speaking should proceed as they are proceeding and not get ahead of the facts. >> samantha, you mentioned the potential international repercussions. what about the repercussions for the whistleblower here in the intelligence community? >> i think unfortunately what we're starting to see, and, david, you just mentioned this. what we're starting to see is pieces of this whistleblower complaint leak out to members of the media. instead of the whistleblower process following the statutory outlined steps whereby the director of national intelligence provides this complaint to the congressional co

i think what we have here, if the report to the "new york times," "the washington post," and especially "the wall street journal" owned by rupert murdoch, the president's friend, who the journal has done great reporting exposing what has apparently happened here with real intimidation of a foreign leader to get him to investigate a political opponent of the president of the united states, that would be a grave abuse of power and what we are seeing in the president's response is also the pathology of donald trump talking about the electric chair. we're watching, again, the contempt for the law. the contempt for process. the contempt for the office of the presidency as it is traditionally conducted bay those presidents who respect the constitution and the law. but there's one other parallel here that goes back to watergate and that is we have as in watergate president nixon attempted to interfere with the democratic primary, the opposition party's primaries by political espionage and sabotage to get the nominee he wanted to run against. who was george mcgovern not senator musky of maine through political dirty tr

. >> it seems as though from the reporting that we've seen from "the washington post," "the wall street journal," "the new york times" is that, yes, the president is open to that. and it fits a pattern. in 2016 he said russia hacked hik hillary clinton's e-mails, what this tells us in the future is if you're a foreign government and you want to sway this president can you give him information you come across about any political opponent and -- >> in the last several days this story has blossomed. a whistle-blower's complaint through the dni -- the director of national intelligence doing all this upsetting to that person, and national security they said this was urgent, we have to know about it. under the advice of william barr, the president's toady at ag, and now we're finding out it perhaps was a quid pro quo. how'd this story break out? there's a lot of theories about what your sources are. one source himself thinks trump himself is putting it out -- i like your face. >> in fact, what i would say, chris, is one of the stunning things that tells me this is a big deal beyond the fact that it is encouraging a foreig

right now, watching the magic of "new york times," "the washington post," "the wall street journal" building stories, this is whether we get all the way to some explicit quid pro quo , around the back or implicit, this is a story with enormous potential, national security implications. what you see now is the way the white house is behaving in the middle of if, which i suggested before, they have a play book. but they're clearly uncomfortable. they have been the last 48 hours, continue to be uncomfortable with this. they recognize if this goes in a certain direction, and i continue to think there's a place over which this becomes -- nancy pelosi says i don't want to do impeachment, but i have to now, this story could get there. they're going to fight to keep it from getting there, as details pile in, we'll see whether it gets there. but we could get there. that's the kind of stakes we're talking about. >> michael steele, the thing that gets them there faster, if there's a single [bleep]ing republican with a conscience or soul. where do you put the odds on that? >> elvis has left the building

every single news organization, "the wall street journal," washington post, "new york times," any number into this have found that the president and his hench people are alleging is not simply unsubstantiated or something for which there's no evidence. it's absolutely false. the vice president, according to public reports and his son has said is that there's a wall between them, that he was no way consulted about his son's business interest and his son felt it was not appropriate for him to discuss. we can get detracked and distracted. secretary of treasury and secretary of state holding positions that typically have been accepted to be nonpartisan, to be conducted above the political fray did what so many around donald trump have done. they threw their hat with them in an attempt to justify behavior that simply is unacceptable and indefensible. secretary of state and secretary of treasury became his political spokespeople. that's completely consistent with what the president has tried to do here, put the office to his use in political goals. why are we discussing rudy giuliani? he told

[laughter] [cheering]

we have been saying "the wall street journal" and "the washington post" and moments ago "new york timessident trump did pressure ukraine's president to investigate joe biden's son on a july phone call. the journal report claims trump mentioned it about eight times, not about, eight times they said in a phone call. president trump reiterated the argument his personal lawyer made, it doesn't matter if he discussed a political rival with a foreign leader. this is ahead of trump's one-on-one meeting scheduled with the ukraine president next week at the united nations general assembly. it is september. it is what we affectionately refer to at unga week next week. you know general assembly in case you hear that. to put it in context, michael mcfall, served as ambassador to russia, kimberly, michael, doug are also back. mike, let me start straightforward here with, want to see if you can clear up something kelly o'donnell was mentioning, foreign leader phone call transcripts and recordings, controlled by the white house. are they recordings? are these notes? are these full transcripts? or coul

those were his responses over just three days to the "washington post" and "the wall street journal" and "the new york timesporting on him basically ordering that aid to ukraine be halted while he was peppering and requesting and badgering their leader to investigate the bidens. if impeachment is sort of a public and political way to adjudicate justice, where everything's out in the open, public opinion is a factor, hasn't donald trump just walked into the biggest trap of his life? >> yeah, i mean, he's a terrible, terrible, witness. and i guess the best legal precedent us legal scholars would draw for what trump has done over the last week, and forgive the sexist overtones, but drunk girl on "saturday night live," like i did it, didn't to do, i said it, i didn't, deep state, not deep state. it's completely -- >> with his sidekick, rudy. he did it, he did it. he meant to do it. i did it, too. i mean, how are those two -- i mean, it would seem that what didn't serve them well in the mueller probe, that it was so opaque, that it was so inaccessible. nancy pelosi never felt like the story had been told, never

washington post." it was on the front page of the "wall street journal" and the "new york times" had it well down under news. this is what they do. what is important, they hit on this, when they said the public is on to this thing and it's backfiring. last night i gave a speech in allentown, pennsylvania, conservative group, the lehigh valley, um, tea party group. and when i was introduced it was noted about my defar tur from cnn, they cleared me, spontaneously. this has nothing to do with me. they're so worked up and energized what they see as the president's treatment of the media, this is backfiring. for a fact. >> laura: what happened in the town hall at cnn that might shall just wrapping up now, on climate change. and cnn gave the democrats multiple assists during the week, to bolster their talking points on the warming planet. watch. >> we'll cross a massive tipping point, if the world warms more than 1.5 degrees. we've warmed up the planet one degree celsius. >> seeing the effects of climate change as a powerful atlantic hurricane, sitting right now off the coast of florida. >> we are seeing mor

new york times, the l.a. times, the "wall street journal," combined, and the washington post. he's the first president ever that has the ability to speak directly to the country. howard: in fact he has his own channel. >> his own channel, his own way of communicating. people get the news straight from the source. they don't have to get the interpretation. that's been a trump strength. however, there are times when those tweets have not done him a good service. whether he wants to admit it or not, there are times where he's caused himself some public relations problems. the challenge for him is to use that as effectively as you can by saying what needs to be said and not with all this other stuff that goes on. howard: obviously he would say he counterpunches, loves to pick fights. you have an example new york times columnist, he is personally zapped by trump exhaustion. i'm tuckered out. trump takes up too much emotional space. national view even trump supporters getting tired of his daily draw dra ma -- drama. i'm wondering if it's the journalists who are covering all the back

think they're enrmously serious, and the fact that the "wall street journal" leading this story, one of t "new york times" tanned "the washington postut this is not false or fake news, it's note a political vendetta of any sort, and this is quite beyond a playboy model or frat party of ivy league school or any thinolof trt. this is really serious. thiss i totally exploiting the national security -- putting ati the national security of the united states for narrow potical, personal interests if, in fact, the reports are true. and i fess the most disturbing thing to me, judy, that the president accused the whistleblower who, at enormous risk and required considerable courage, of being an extreme partisan, which means, , that somebody in the white house knows who the whistleblower is. this is mafia-like threats. we know who you are, and investigated his poitical affiliation or her political affiliation. i mea so, i thi it's enormously grave. >> woodruff: in fact, the president, david, was saying today to the television cameras thatople in the white hose were making fun of all of this. are weooking at something where it's going to be a
