trump, proximity the meeting was one floor from donald trump and proximity with donald trump and donald trump jr. and how much they talked about the campaign for a year. so it's hard to believe he didn't know. >> when donald trump jr. said i didn't want to bother him with it, this is someone we heard talking on the "access hollywood" bus, we see him spending his entire weekends playing golf, this is a guy who publically, donald trump, has all the time in the world to discuss all the trivial things that cross anyone's mind close to him, the credibility of i didn't want to bother the big guy with anything as small as this is rather strained in this situation. >> sure. look, you played the clip before of the comment trump made right after this meeting is being set up, which he says he's going to give a speech about some very interesting information about the clintons. and this is right after the e-mail trail shows that rob goldstone is promising the russians meeting at trump tower is going to have some very incriminating information from kremlin files about hillary clinton. so the parallel

>>> if there is a me too movement of people suing donald trump for lying about them, donald trump is going to be in court for the rest of his life. threatening people with lawsuits for lying about donald trump used to be a donald trump and michael cohen specialty and donald trump's threats were effective about scaring people. donald trump tried it with me in the second year of the show, saying i heard that lawrence has made many false statements about me last night maybe i should sue him. i was the only person on tv calling him a liar when he spoke of president obama's birth certificate. that was shocking to him because no one attacked him on television before, no one called him a liar the way everyone does now. and it was more shocking to donald trump that i was not intimidated by his threat to sue me and i dared him to sue me so i could get him under oath in a deposition and, of course, he never mentioned suing me again. so tonight there is an irony in watching donald trump's tactics be used against him. and this time it's by someone who's not using the donald trump investigation o

the immediate family of donald trump. the reporting comes to us from michael isikoff of yahoo news and the headlines gets to the point, trump's son should be concerned. fbi obtained wiretaps of a putin ally who met with trump jr. isikoff reports the fbi obtained secret wiretaps collected by spanish police of conversations involving aleksandr torshin, a deputy governor of russia's central bank, that led to a meeting with donald trump jr. during the gun lobby's convention in may of 2016. the prosecutors saying quote just a few months ago, the wiretaps of these telephone conversations were given to the fbi and asked if he was concerned about aleksandr torshin's meetings with donald trump jr. and other american political cal figures, the spanish prosecutor replied, quote, mr. trump's son should be concerned. joining us on the phone is michael isikoff chief investigative reporter for yahoo news. walk us through this a little bit, jose ginga who is investigating, how does he end up with a story involving aleksandr torshin and d

well throughout his presidential campaign donald trump criticized the jay c.p.o. way the result of the p five plus one nuclear talks the nuclear conclusion and agreement with iran now he criticized that he called it a bad deal and he ultimately intended he said to rip it up from the white house now been in office well over a year and it looks like based on what we just heard from the white house that donald trump has fulfilled his campaign promise and he has withdrawn the united states from the nuclear deal he says he is imposing the highest level of sanctions on iran all of the nuclear related sanctions that were lifted when the deal was signed are now are now reimpose that this is donald trump speaking to the world about the nuclear deal. i am announcing today that the united states will withdraw from the iran nuclear deal in a few moments i will sign a presidential memorandum to begin reinstating u.s. nuclear sanctions on the uranian regime. now it's important to note as donald trump was speaking he tried to make a case to essentially justify what he was doing

donald trump jr. was told that these russians were coming to meet with the members of the campaign team, they said they had dirt on hillary clinton and he said he responded, if it's what you say, i love it. so that's the reason why his account of what happened in that meeting, the accounts of other people who are at that meeting has been the focus of the investigation, not only in the senate and the house but also of the special counsel robert mueller. we will see about 2,000 pages of documents here of transcripts from the interviews of various people here. we have a team behind me that is working on reading through this and seeing what is interesting, what is news worthy from all of this, but i'll give you a sense of the characters. the russian lawyer, she was the head of the russian contingent that arrived at this trump tower meeting in june 2016. on the trump side was paul manafort, the chairman of the trump campaign at the time, of course donald trump jr., jared kushner, the president's -- now the

it is about donald trump, it is about the ratings. >> why won't the media give donald trump credit? here to way and is the president of district media group. thanks for being here. that was such an american moment. i thought, they will give the president the credit is due but not so much. >> something that should bring all americans together with you are republican or democrat regardless with the work in the media or not, bringing home three american hostages is a huge victory, talking about hostages from north korea. this does not happen often. think about the state that otto warmbier was in, horrific conditions. to have this moment, the pres. meeting with three individuals when they landed at andrews air force base, a huge moment. we heard a lot about russia yesterday, stormy daniels and this should bring americans together. >> a few hours after the hostages returned we devoted our entire 60 minutes during my time in the church a coverage of the north korea situation. flash forward to the evening news, nbc, 2 minutes and 20 seconds, abc, 3 minutes, cbs 2 minutes and 5 seconds. tha

enter donald trump. he is a completely different animal, and he loves this world of lavish living and money. and it would not be outside the realm of possibility that they saw a man that finally would play on their field to where gifts, emoluments, money, bribes would actually work. >> and jeremy, when you pull all these threads of the story together in the daily mail in your reporting and elsewhere, on it so far, if this is substantiated, what you're seeing is a qataris and kuwaitis thinking exactly the way malcolm just described and kind of rushing to get in there to figure out how do we deal with these people and who do we have to pay what to deal with these people. >> well, what you have when you talk about such transactional, you know, exchanges is that it's not just about getting something in exchange for something. it can also be about being punished for not fulfilling on something. and the trump administration turned around at the top level, basically president trump, the country's position on qa

not unlike donald trump. >> look at my next guest, donald trump, 33 years old. wants to buy the world trade center. >> as cohen entered his teenage years in the 1980s, trump was becoming a national celebrity. >> i purchased the old commodore hotel. we converted that into a $110 million hotel. >> the brash new york real estate developer nicknamed the donald captured cohen's attention. >> he said as a teenager, he admired donald trump not only for real estate but seemed to admire his personality, his brashness, his approach to life. michael was drawn to him. >> when cohen was in high school, he met the woman who become his wife. >> they were introduced. she was a ukrainian born woman. cohen visited her. he had a lot of friends in brighten beach where there were russian immigrants. one friend who told me that he wanted to emulate that tough guy russian ukrainian emigrant persona. >> a friend from brooklyn that cohen developed a bond with, even doing real estate deals with him over the years. some of the deals will be important to this story later. after high school

donald trump securing the release of those three brave men from north korea. carly shimkus with serious xm 115 here with reaction pouring in online. >> one of the things i keep thinking about is how happy the families must've felt to see their loved ones for the first time on television standing next to the pres. what an amazing moment, that joy is being seen on social media as a flood of happy tweets for into twitter, let's get to that. lisa says i'm filled with an enormous amount of pride and gratitude as i watch this historic moment unfolds. congratulations to our president and mr. pompeo. what an amazing moment, truly grateful. can says never doubted trump's ability to deliver as president, who would have thought was possible for trump's policy, congrats free men. natalia tweets what an amazing moment, welcome home. gail on twitter says what an american moment, proud to be an american, so happy for these free men, freedom is so precious, goes on to thank the pres. and vp, the first lady and second lady for all the hard work and representing the country. el

when donald trump presents it to him. and it seems very clear that donald trump is trying very hard to find that line so that he can force rod rosenstein's resignation and replace him with a deputy attorney general who will in effect take an oath to serve and protect trumpism against trumpism's most powerful enemy, the constitution of the united states. joining our discussion now, jesse wegman, "new york times" editorial board who wrote today's ed torld entitled "trump versus the department of justice." matt miller, former spokesperson for attorney general eric holder is with us. he is an msnbc contributor now. and john heilemann, national affairs analyst for nbc and msnbc is with us. he is the co-host and executive producer of showtime's "the circus." and john heilemann, you've been studying donald trump for years now as a politician, and i've gotten closer to him than the rest of us in that study. is donald trump trying to find that line? is he trying to find the spot where rod rosenstein has to stand up and say i resig

heather: in terms of ted cruz, does he run as pro donald trump? >> the interesting thing, 40% of the ads being run in the primaries mentioned donald trump, mostly by republicans in a positive sense to get those trump voters because that is the challenge, to get those voters that turned out in huge numbers for donald trump and his victory in 2016, to make sure they turn out in off year elections, ted cruz has his own brand but is also going to rely on the pres. to help especially with turnout. >> arkansas we have hutchinson against jared henderson and at the same time let's bring up donald trump's tweet about the arkansas governor race, the great governor of arkansas is in the primary tomorrow, has done an internal job focusing on lower taxes and goes on talking about military veterans. >> nothing better in the republican primary than getting a tweet from donald trump before it happens. you have seen in general elections in the general election survey, it is up by 40 points over his democratic opponent so that is one where hutchinson has done a gre

been arrested long before donald trump was even elected. they now met the man who brought them home, secretary of state worked tirelessly and you heard the pres. talk about how important it was to him to get these three men home. that was the key part of the discussion about north korea's that we will not have the summit unless we get our people home, the president noted he got them home earlier than he thought he would. you know what is going on. the pres. and vp and mike pompeo walked them over to the bus, the walter reed military bus, taking them to walter reed hospital for further health checks and a little bit of debriefing as we discussed. they have been through an awful lot and a very long journey home not to mention their time in north korea so they will be checked out and debriefed. in the background, you can hear the engines of marine one starting to spin. the pres. and the first lady will head back to the white house, the vice president and mrs. parents back to the naval observatory and the secretary of state who has not slept si

we both know donald trump. i find it hard to think donald trump would take a meeting from anybody, i find it impossible to believe he would take a meeting with anybody as a favor to michael cohen, knowing he was going to make $600,000 of him taking that meeting. you are sitting there laughing for the same reason. anyone that knows, it's absolutely propostrouse. donald trump would not have allowed michael cohen to make $600,000 on his back because of a at&t meeting. >> i spoke to michael yesterday. michael, first of all, said basically the companies reached out to him, this is according to michael, and said, look, there's one thing about this guy, this president. he says if you are a company, this is michael, if you are a company doing business with him, nobody knows how he is going to react. nobody understands the mind of donald trump. his kids do, i'm probably next in line. he believes that's valuable. that's michael's point of view. whether that money was going to trump, all i can say is this, clearly i have

president trump donald trump is the president. and it is incumbent for media companies to stick up for their work but not to get down in the muck and picking personal fights because we need to keep the focus on him, not on us as the reporters. >> and so michelle at the same time, the media is not necessarily all that popular with the public either. so it is not as if the media can sort of cry out for support from the public. but it is -- i think people maybe don't take seriously enough the threat of a authoritarian government and how quickly it can slide because people aren't familiar with this form of government. but donald trump is pushing the boundaries about as far as a president ever has. >> absolutely. i don't know if you are a fan of the television program the hand maiden's tail i go oletale, bute protagonist is moving to herself where were we when all this was happening, and that is what a is happening here. this is just not a story of what is happening to jeff bezos to amazon, the attacks on cnn and the time warner merger

that was donald trump. third, new financial disclosures from the white house suggest that the president knew about the hush money payment to stormy daniels and then misled the public about it. after all, it made it on to his financial disclosure. fourth a bombshell story from the "new york times." potentially undermining the president's claims of an anti-trump bias at the fbi. the report details the secret origins of the trump investigation revealing the fbi's evident the keep their counter-intelligence investigation secret, out of concern that the mere knowledge of its existence might devastate the trump campaign. i wonder what hillary clinton is thinking about that right now? joining me now is den delanian msnbc intelligence and national security reporter as well as our panelist here. katy tur, my colleague here at msnbc and host of the 2:00 p.m. hour and every monday on this show. and zerlina maxwell. ken, let's break things down today. there is a lot out there. can we sort through what's new first and w

if donald trump doesn't like collusion -- sorry, if donald trump doesn't like treason, why did he run on it, basically, at that conference where all of the reporters remember, we were supposed to cover the dnc, and he came out at this press conference in florida and said come on, do it, hack into our system. he also in that press conference said that putin would be better than obama. again, undermining your own government. crazy when you go back and look back at the things he said. and mentioning wikileaks. so, you know, there's something there. he's doing it not just in secret, but sort of out in the open. >> it's interesting. i did a story actually for "wall street journal" on treason. the word is being used so frequently by both sides, and law professors when you talk to them will say treason specifically was so narrowly defined because the founding fathers didn't want to be used as a political weapon. you can't just throw the word treason around when it's like you said, one of the most serious crimes you could ever be charged with. >> you think it might be a misfire? >> it's an in

call now to learn more. >>> we now know what donald trump, jr. and several key players of the russia investigation told senate investigators about president trump's 2016 campaign, and the now infamous trump tower meeting in new york. just a few hours ago, the committee released thousands of pages of testimony, e-mails, and texts from a number of people who were at that june 2016 meeting. everyone from donald trump, jr. to music producer rob goldstone, to others. our reporters have been honing in on key details. let's bring them in right now. joining us, sarah murray, evan perez, and also here to help us understand legal implications, prosecutor joseph moreno. thank you very much. evan, you've gone through these documents. what stands out to you? >> you remember, this is a meet bring the russians were promising dirt on hillary clinton to members of the trump campaign. one part of a conversation with donald trump, jr., which he says, you know, i was interested in listening to information on hillary clinton. yes, he says. information that came poten

obama calling donald trump's iran decision a serious mistake. in a statement obama writes, quote, we all know the dangers of iran obtaining a nuclear weapon, involving a dangerous regime threatening our friends with destruction, poses an acceptable dangerous to america's security and trigger an arms race in the world's most dangerous region. john kerry defending a meeting with iran to try to save it. >> my conversations with these people have been normal conversations that every former secretary of state has with leaders in other countries, people we know, as we try to educate ourselves and make sure we are up to date on what is happening in the world. all i did was suggest you want to try to keep the agreement. jillian: the iran nuclear deal was one of the signature achievements of obama's pregnant -- presidency. rob: people evacuated overnight as smoke filled the cabin, passengers forced to jump down emergency slides and climb out the windows while taxiing to their gate in denver. >> as we were taxiing in the cabin filled with smoke and had a

the knife, the shiv right in donald trump's back? or tell the truth. i think he is going to tell the truth. >> that's a good point. the president has publicly done more than anything -- everything you could possibly imagine to taunt jeff sessions. >> yeah. he's insulted him. he's made fun of him. he has attacked him on twitter. but this is what i said, lawrence, a couple of weeks ago when i talked about grumble bragging from members of this administration. oh, it's so terrible to work for donald trump. but they don't leave, do they? and they don't leave because at their core they actually agree with a lot of the things that donald trump is doing, even if they don't like him the person. jeff sessions is in favor of the travel ban. jeff sessions is just as much as a hawk on immigration. jeff session believes that black lives matter is a terrorist organization. he is not going to leave this administration. and to be perfectly honest with you, while he may recuse himself one, because the law required it, and two, because he didn't want t

if i were donald trump i would be very, very scared. >> right. and summer has a legal team with multiple lawyers as you mentioned. gloria started this off with her in 2016. it was also, if we are going to get into the weeds, it was counter-suits of defamation against mr. cosby that initially led to the disclosure around the quaaludes that then led to the criminal case. you are both making -- go ahead. >> in the same way, the cosby allegations were out there. people knew them. in the same way that before the me too moment we were talking about this stuff. we knew it. we simply as a society didn't care to treat these women like their stories mattered. we are in a different place now in 2018 than we were in 2016 when it first came in. >> right. and to end on the same song we began with from liz, wait for the kicker. maybe we'll keep waiting for the kicker. thank you both. jess mcintosh and liz plank. >>> coming up, donald trump is threatening the justice department directly with new calls for rod rosenstein to step aside. what's the gop doing about

they thought donald trump would be in their corner. >> it seems to be a pattern of donald trump junior, his phone calls with a blocked phone number around that controversy meeting. what do you make of that? >> it's very hard for me to know what a blocked number was. i would imagine at some point mueller's team will be able decipher it. my expertise is what the russians were up to. i can say for sure the russians were up to no good. >> i suspect mueller's team fully already knows and probably has known for a long time who that blocked phone call went to. the president's private residence at trump tower was a blocked phone. when do you think the president actually learned about that trump tower meeting and the russian offer of dirt on hillary clinton? >> it's entirely unclear. it could have been right after that, if that was a blocked number or it could have been the moment when everybody was trying to decide how to respond to the new york times when they called in to say what was that meeting all about. we know for sure there was a lot of scrambling when saying this was about adoption.

i and i go to church and i love god. >> donald trump doesn't go to church. donald trump plays golf. and he has no idea that the single most important concept in the religion he claims as his own, which was at the founding of christianity one of his most revolutionary concepts, is that god lives in every person, every person. and that is the concept that prevents christians who actually understand christianity from ever equating people and animals. here's a trick question for donald trump. who said, whatever you do to the least of my brethren, you do to me? another trick question for donald trump, next time he's publicly showing off his christianity is, can you quote a single thing that jesus christ ever said? for i was hungry, and you gave me something to eat. i was thirsty, and you gave me something to drink. i was a stranger, and you invited me in. i needed clothes, and you clothed me. i was sick and you looked after me. and i was in prison, and you came to visit me. if you went to catholic schools like i did, you memorized passages like that. you memorized those words of jesus ch

what donald trump has shown again and again is that only he gets to be indulged like donald trump. anyone who tries to replicate them or hitch their careers to him can have a very, very tough go of it because i think a lot of that -- the same i don't know if it's goodwill or tolerance or amusement or whatever does not naturally extend to people who speak on his behalf. >> elizabeth, you know n covering this white house and listening to the various pronouncements from the white house, it occurs to me that maybe one of the blessings of these constant updates on the web for each and every newspaper including "the new york times" is probably of great benefit to us in the media because the stories change from so many different versions that you get out of this white house. >> that's right. i still remember some additional negotiations over nafta. and in the morning we were getting out of nafta, the north america free trade agreement and in the afternoon we were not. we were staying in. and i got a call from the executive editor of new york saying what is going on down there? how can you

trump never continues in the book is the steps that donald trump must take in order to preserve the constitution and what i allege is basically treason. >> i really didn't attach a lot of meaning that maybe you can define in your view the same thing? or how do you differentiate? >> they have different meanings but with that same concept that there is a group of entrenched interest in the bureaucracy with those intelligence agencies of the justice department but also other agencies the agenda is the internationalist agenda with that new world order and hence the united states is archaic many of these people in the entrenched bureaucracy are relatively young through their 50s or 60s but at the same time with the democratic party politics with more extreme version so the deep state they could be called the shadow government because that is their own bureaucratic wishes to elect donald trump and of course he has termed that the swamp the term that most immediately understand so the creatures coming out of the swamp are fighting back for their turf. >> and to have that persistent bureauc

donald trump is no longer the worst person in government. it begins with this, donald trump with his federal cunning, knew. the oleaginous mike pence, with hissal tent for toadyism and appetite for obbust ask yous. vote republican to ratify governin an example george will writes pence flew to indiana for the purpose of walking out of a football game, because football players kneeling to the national anthem is wrong to mike pence's sense of right and wrong. writing, pence, called arpaio another favorite. professed himself honored by arpaio's presence and praised him as a tireless champion of the rule of law. george will noted that that arizona speech by mike pence, quote, occurred eight miles from the home of senator john mccain, who could teach pence -- or perhaps not -- something about honor. in his column, he quoted a speech delivered by abraham lincoln. lincoln said, there was a mobocratic spirit among the vicious portion of the population. so let reverence for the laws become the political religion of the nation. george will went on to s

the trump team seized all of donald trump's lifetime of medical records in dr. borenstein's possession. and dr. borenstein believes that it's because he let it slip publicly that donald trump takes propecia to stimulate that extraordinary hair growth. >> i feel raped. that's how i feel, raped, frightened, and sad. i didn't know what to make of the whole thing. i couldn't believe anybody was making a big deal about a drug that's to grow his hair, which seemed to be so important. and it certainly is not a breach of medical trust to tell somebody they take propecia to grow their hair? what's the matter with that? >> well, of course it is a breach of medical trust for a doctor to tell anyone anything about any medication that he has prescribed for any patient. we'll have more on donald trump's very strange doctors next with david cay johnston who has been studying trump world for many years. once there was an organism so small no one thought much of it at all. people said it just made a mess until exxonmobil scientists put it to the test. they thought someday it cou

it's no secret donald trump and john mccain have a history of conflict. donald trump said john mccain, a man who spent five years as a prisoner of war in vietnam where he was tortured regularly, is not a war hero. the president, who got five deferments from vietnam has not fully apologized for that statement. john mccain has stood up to donald trump more than perhaps any other republican. he turned over the infamous trump dossier to the fbi, a decision he reportedly described in his upcoming book saying "i did what duty demanded i do." last summer john mccain cast the deciding vote to defeat the trump bill to repeal obamacare with that famous hand gesture. donald trump apparently hasn't forgotten about that. >> except for one senator who came into a room at 3:00 in the morning and went like that, we would have had health care, too. we would have had health care, too.

he isn't that much more disciplined than donald trump so he can't reign in those aspects of donald trump's nature because he shares his ideological predilections. maybe trump respects him more than reince priebus. but he respects everyone more than he respected reince priebus. i don't know if that is an improvement. he did fire omarosa but she almost stormed the residence. so i don't know if he did that well. >> michael wolff said in his book they all have a name for donald trump, rex tillerson calls him idiot. and john kelly is in the idiot camp. at least according to the leaks he was supposed to have prevented. so nbc reported that john kelly thinks of himself as the lone bulwark against catastrophe and he has referred to trump as an idiot multiple times to under score his point. and jonathan, the clock has to start ticking as soon as donald trump reads somewhere what you call him. it's amazing that rex tillerson lasted as long as he did after the moron quote got out. but john kelly is now carrying around that idiot quote and donald trump knows it. >> right. but he's still there. he is s

donald trump was in the dark? michael cohen never told donald trump? donald trump never got a piece of the action? because i'm going to tell you that when michael cohen is charged, and there is no question -- there is absolutely zero question in my mind he is going to be charged. but when he is charged, i can assure you that one of the critical pieces of inquiry will be what did donald trump know about these payments? what was the arrangement, if any? was he in on it? did he get a piece of the action? if he knew about it, what did he do to shut it down? this is going to be a treasure trove. you can speak to this better than i can. this is going to be a treasure trove potentially of inquiry. >> quickly we have to go to a break. because of what michael avenue knotty just said, what i just heard him describing, you're the prosecutor here, but what i heard him describing the concept that at&t is paying, say, $50,000 a month or any amount a month to michael cohen and donald trump as has a piece of that, or novartis is paying $100,000 a month and donald trum

like donald trump. so rudy giuliani gave it an even wider blanket of knowledge in effect to donald trump about the general operations of michael cohen, which i have to say sounds realistic, and also intersects, kind of importantly, with the story you're talking about in terms of the michael cohen raid material and what's in it and how donald trump and michael cohen aren't really telling the president's lawyers what they think is in it. >> michael schmidt just reporting on our air moments ago that the president's lawyers don't know what's in those documents because michael cohen and president trump won't tell them. michael cohen and president trump definitely know what's in those documents but they won't tell trump's own lawyers what's in them, so president trump's lawyers can't prepare what to make of that case or what threat the president might be under in that case. but it now sounds like rudy giuliani -- the way you describe it it's like he's prepping it like there's a million stormy danielss. this i
