one, donald trump doesn't pay taxes. two, donald trump loses massive amounts of money in business. and three, donald trump has always been financially dependent on his father. those are all things that donald trump does not want voters to know about his financial life. all of those things clash with the image of successful businessman that donald trump presents to his supporters. it is possible that the six years of tax returns that have been legally demanded from the irs by house ways and means committee chairman richard neal would reveal a similar partner for donald trump possibly with financial supporters other than his father, like perhaps a russian oligarch or two. those tax returns are being illegally withheld from chairman neal by treasury secretary steven mnuchin, but chairman neal will eventually succeed in obtaining those tax returns because the law is entirely on his side. in the meantime, though, tonight's "new york times" reporting is the most detailed picture yet of ten years of donald trump's financial life from 1985 to 1994 and it shows donald trump declaring losses

trump. one is the origin of the special counsel's investigation into russia's interference in the 2016 election. the other is the involvement of former vice president joseph r. biden's son in a gas company owned by a ukrainian oligarch. i was in communication with mayor giuliani, i said, wait a minute, this looks like it could be seen as accepting help from another foreign government. his response to me in an investigation, it's perfectly legal. barbara, is it? >> you know, it's so unusual that it's very difficult to even analyze legally. i suppose to the extent that he is promising anything of value in exchange for help he might get from a foreign country, there could potentially be some violation of the foreign court practices act. i think the bigger point to take from this, it really demonstrates the blurred lines that president trump has when it comes to what is in the best interests of the country where we -- it's in the individual best interests. rudy giuliani represents president trum

trump. something democrats have been talking about and trying to figure out their way forward. one thing certainly, elected officials will look at is where is the country on the question of impeachment where to go from here and an interesting reference might be to compare where the country is now on these questions with this president, donald trump and where it was in a similar moment about two decades ago about 20, 21 years ago with bill clinton. bill clinton was impeached and so there is an interesting common point we can compare here, the delivery of the mueller report and release publicly when it comes to trump and in 1998 the delivery and release of the star report. our friends at abc took this poll and asked very similar questions now that they asked back then that make for interesting comparisons. let start with this. the baseline, the political strength that the president brought to the moment, donald trump's approval rating in the latest poll 39% if you take his average, maybe low 4

trump. trump jr. immediately responded, if it's what you say, i love it, and arranged the meeting through a series of e-mails and telephone calls. trump jr. invited campaign chairman manafort and senior adviser jared kushner to attend the meeting, and both attended. members of the campaign discussed the meeting before it occurred. michael cohen recalled that trump jr. may have told the candidate trump about an upcoming meeting to receive adverse information about clinton. without linking the meeting to russia. according to written answers submitted by president trump, he had no recollection of the meeting, of learning of the meeting at that time. the office found no documented evidence showing that he was made aware of the meeting or its russian connection before it occurred. the russian attorney who into at the meeting, natalia vess veselnitskaya worked and maintained a relationship with the government. she claimed the funds derived from illegal activities in russia were provided to hillary clinton a

trump. over the weekend trump turned his rage against two administration officials, former white house counsel don mcgahn and his fbi director christopher wray. trump is trashing mcgahn after the news broke friday that mcgahn had refused trump's demand to clear him of obstruction of justice for trying to fire special counsel mueller. on saturday trump tweeted "i was not going to fire bob mueller and did not fire bob mueller. actually, lawyer don mcgahn had a much better chance of being fired than mueller. never a big fan." separately, trump's attack on fbi director wray comes after wray refused to say in his testimony last week that the fbi had spied on trump's campaign. trump wanted him to use that word "spy." in a series of tweets yesterday, trump quoted a right-wing activist saying, ""the fbi has no leadership. the director is protecting the same gang that tried to overthrow the president through an illegal coup." mcgahn and wray join a growing list of officials whom the president has pub

the trump trade war with the trump tariffs. as president, would you repeal the trump tariffs? >> yes, but we do have to confront china and this is something that's important. china is a national security threat. it's an economic threat to the united states. china is literally stealing our business ideas, our military secrets every day through the internet. that is really costing american jobs. the irony of this administration is that he's allocated more money to build a southern border wall, a fifth century b.c. technology than cyber security for the entire security. we needed to turn that around. when you think about china, they debated building a wall 3,000 years ago. they're past that and now saying they're going to lead the world in artificial intelligence. what's our response? nothing from there administration. they're attacking us through the internet, stealing american jobs. what's our response? nothing from thisization. so we need to be smart and tough on china. but starting a trade war that just hurts american farmers? hurts american consumers? puts a tax on all the g

single digits under trump. in a recent survey of 25 countries, only two places express greater confidence in trump than they did in his predecessor, russia and israel. yet other countries are simply following trump's advice. in his 2017 speech to the u.n. general assembly. donald trump called for a great reawakening of nations, urging countries to use patriotism and self-interest as their sole guides in foreign policy. his gold star has been to celebrate national interest, reject the idea that there are larger international interests and by implication, to denigrate the idea of win-win solutions. the chinese, iranians and others are doing what trump urged. since the u.s. is still the world's leading power and trump's style has been aggressive and undiplomatic. the easiest response is a nationalist, anti-american one. stoking bad historical memories and locking countries into a win-lose mindless. more instability, less cooperation and fewer opportunities for america. and it is the direct logical consequence of d

americans pay the trump tariffs. the trade war has already led to $12 billion in bailouts for american farmers and now the president is expecting more pailouts. he tweeted with the over $100 billion in tariffs we take in, we will buy agricultural products from our great farmers in larger amounts than china ever did. okay. remember, all of this comes after donald trump promised that trade wars were good and easy to win. apparently not. as trump places more financial stress on struggling americans. it's worth noting that he himself has never had to face the same financial worries that regular americans have. trump inherited hundreds of millions of dollars from his daddy, and then as "the new york times" reported, his businesses lost over a billion dollars according to irs data. more money than nearly any other individual american taxpayer. donald trump himself was able to lose all that money without facing the consequences that you or any of us would face if we squandered money, because trump was able to lean on dear o

trump attorneyaccusations. he said that this or any committee would rely on the word of michael cohen for any purpose defies logic, well established law and common sense. for more, i'm joined by peter baker, white house corn for the "new york times," the former assistant attorney in the southern district of, no, and ken dilanian. we now know on the record what was said behind the scenes. >> it's important to pointed out that he knew they were lying. what he's saying in many cases, people gave him false information. that he knew to be false and he repeated that before congress. and in some cases, like in the case of ivanka trump and her lawyer, they should have known. they told cohen to say that ivanka trump had no involvement in the trump tower moscow deal when he knew he had briefed, michael cohen had briefed her many times. but it is pretty slick. they were all very careful. that's why no one was charged. >> the president was asked about it. he would say i have no business with what's going on in russia. >> t

donald trump is now president. with that in mind we are joined now by elana schor, national political reporter for the associated press, and laura barron-lopez, national political reporter for politico. thanks to both of you for being with us. excuse me. let me start, elana, with you. look, donald trump i think is a good way to set up any discussion of electability because the fact that donald trump was able to win in 2016 has called in to question just about every traditional definition of electability that was out there. >> absolutely. and for that matter, the fact that hillary clinton lost is giving a lot of women hope they can win this time. you know, elizabeth warren, amy klobuchar, kamala harris, they look and they say, look, hillary failed, and i can succeed for the very reason that donald trump has upended convention. >> it's interesting. i think electability, sometimes you can see how it is a response. the perception of electability is a response to who won the last time. when you look at joe biden and how

you step back politically and as a sworn member of congress, do you think that trump, the donald trump, the donald as he used to call himself, do you think what is driving him a little crazy this week is not nancy pelosi's toughness or the name calling or the meetings that are not occurring, but he realizes his house of cards is coming apart. his legal defense and mueller already knows this stuff. he has a million of excuses and the courts are not siding with him. >> absolutely, chris. what this is really about is the american people are about to find out he had not as wealthy as he said or he is not being honest with the irs and people he sought loans through about his wealth and he is not act acting on the american people's beha behalf. why do we wear about his taxes? it's not a battle between rez and blue jerseys, but the president of the united states has to act on our bihalf. if he has other priorities that we don't know about, that's not on our behalf. the strategy by house democrats is oversight and 40 fights. these are not just judges plucking them out and ruling on them. our l

it is the trump doctrine. >> in other words, it's all about trump. when you did those clips earlier i counted how many times he used i, me, my and personally, as if trump is the national interest. and i think that's how the president actually sees it. and once you can now understand that, there's no talk of a u.s. interest. there's no talk of an allied interest. there's no talk of an intelligence community interest. it is about his perception as being flattered, is he being criticized, undermined and how he can save face. in this instance i will say trump is just trying to save face. kim clearly did something he did not anticipate. so, you know, it's like the boyfriend who breaks up with you and you're shocked and you say i didn't really like him anyway. this is where trump is right now. and the trump doctrine is just the best name for the trump doctrine. it is about him. >> we got a sense as to what his thoughts are at least publicly on where everything stands. this is what else he had to say about kim today. take a listen. >> i view it as a man, pe

one humiliates the trump candidate the way donald trump does. today he called a former cabinet member who he predicted was going to be a star "dumb as a rock." that's next. i get ingrowing hairs.nsitive sd so it's a daunting task. oh i love it. it's a great razor. it has that 'fence' in the middle. it gives a nice smooth shave. just stopping that irritation... that burn that i get is really life changing. who used expedia to book the hotel which led to the discovery that sometimes a little down time can lift you right up. expedia. everything you need to go. touch shows how we really feel. but does psoriasis ever get in the way? embrace the chance of 100% clear skin with taltz... the first and only treatment of its kind offering people with moderate to severe psoriasis a chance at 100% clear skin. with taltz, up to 90% of people quickly saw a significant improvement of their psoriasis plaques. don't use if you're allergic to taltz. before starting, you should be checked for tuberculosis. taltz may increase risk of infections and lower your abilit

part of this here, katie, you mention the long relationship of president trump, donald trump, as well as a citizen and with deutsche bank as a president and did owe some $300 million at that time. and the reporting then goes on to say therefore there could have been some feelings by the bank potentially that if they were to be overly aggressive in these alerts, reporting to the treasury department, that potentially the bank would then act in a more conservative way, shall we say. >> yes. of course. i think that being the largest lender to the president and his businesses put you in a tricky position and deutsche bank had trouble as we have seen navigating that, especially now congress subpoenaed deutsche bank for records and this report written by my colleague will fuel curiosity for more information from the bank and the trump family has sued to stop this. so we're going to see a legal battle play out and we are going to see the bank have to make some very difficult choices. >> glen, what's next on this do you think? >> so here's the legal battle that's coming that i think david and

trump's tax returns. trump has refused to turn over his tax returns but has not invoked executive privilege. treasury secretary steven mnuchin has instead denied the returns by arguing there's no legislative purpose for denying them. but according to the irs memo which has not previously been reported the disclosure of the tax return is mandatory, requiring trequire ing the secretary to disclose the returns and return information requested by the tax writing chairs in congress." the ten-page document says the law does not allow the secretary to exercise discretion in disclosing the information provided the statutory conditions are met. the memo directly rejects the reason steven mnuchin has cited for withholding the information from congress. so this is new. this is something we had no idea of before. it's an internal legal memo at the irs which says there's no discretion here. hey irs, hey treasury department, you have to hand overt president's tax returns. there's really no wiggle room. and the trump ad

for trump supporters, it's about trump staying onfor democrats we speak to, the choice of the candidate is paramount. we heard from the party chair who talked about elderly voters, those are the go to voters. elderly voters in pennsylvania don't like radical change. a more moderate democrat is what people are hoping for to unseat trump. >> how much did you pick up of attitude feeling that the democrats in washington and the establishment look down their noses at them and ignored them? >> that's everything. hillary didn't come here is what you hear people saying even though she is from here. approximaten pen is discarded and disregarded. people feel disrespected by washington and by the way they are spoken to. the mueller report did not come up yesterday in conversation in that pizza parlor, but the 401(k)s and the economy did. we are talking about labor and the factories and lost manufacturing jobs and transitioning from coal. when you are talking about getting lectured, it does not play here and republicans know and the trump supporters 99 those rallies and these rallies in pennsylvani

i could smell the trump supporters. october 19. 2016. trump is a -- idiot. he's unable to provide a coherent answer. sorry to the kids out there. these are the people that made a decision that clinton didn't do anything wrong and that counterintelligence investigation of the trump campaign was warranted. we're going to in a bipartisan way, i hope, deal with russia. but when the mueller report is put to bed and it soon will be this committee is going to look long and hard at how this all started. we're going to look at the fisa warrant process. did russia provide christopher steele the information about trump that turned out tore garbage that was used to get a warrant on an american citizen, and if so, how did the system fail? was there a real effort between papadopoulos and anybody in russia to use the clinton emails stole by the russians? sor that thought planted in his mind? i don't know but we're going to look. and i can tell you this. if you change the names y'all would want to look too. everything i just said just substitute clinton for trump. see what

he was trump before trump. >> now, that praise you heard from president trump for the hungarian prime minister today, jake, is exactly what with the president's advisers were worried about that, that he would seem too chummy or have too much advice for him. a leader they're trying to keep at arm's length. >> let's talk about this with the experts. according to kaitlan collins, a white house adviser didn't want him to appear too chummy. >> and normally if someone met with orban, there would be background briefings in private, at least, the u.s. president would have urged orban to let up on his attempts to curb the free media, to curb economic freedom, to stop the courts from reviewing cases and so forth. it's a pretty systemic, gradual, not grotesque, but gradual authoritarianism in hungary by orban, who was a key figure in the democracization in '89 and the early years he really turned in this direction. but one has no impression that donald trump said a word that might slow orban down in his authoritarian tendencies. >> everything and that people accuse president trump of doing and t

that trump, you know, he knows trump has to deliver on and so trump is trying to do the best he can to keep that relationship going. >> in fact, victor cha an expert on north korea and all things on north korea has said that testing of short range missiles is a direct violation of the u.n. security council resolution, in written form. there's no parsing of words here. it may be, might be, no interpretation on this. it's a direct violation of the u.n. security council resolution. daniel lit mapp thank you. we'll talk to you again. >>> the trump administration takes an unprecedented step to process illegal border crossers. how the white house is dealing with an influx of people at the southern border. >>> later mayor pete buttigieg steps up his fundraising efforts. what he's doing to keep up his 2020 momentum. those stories and a check on the weather when we come right back. weather when we come right back. ♪work so hard give it everything you got♪ ♪strength of a lioness tough as a knot♪ ♪rocking the stage and we're never gonna stop♪ ♪all strength, no sweat... just in ca

michael cohen is a worthless witness and if i were donald trump jr.'s lawyer, i would tell him you don't need to go back into this environment anymore. >> democrats in the house have taken the first step to hold a sitting president accountable for crimes they may have committed. jerry nadler along with ted deutsche and eric swalwell introduced an act that would pause the statute of limitations. the no president is above the law act is an attempt to make sure presidents do not become immune to criminal charges altogether simply because they cannot be indicted while in office. the justice department has previously conclude that had a quote, sitting president is constitutionally immune from indictment and criminal prosecution. >> joining us again from washington author of the washington post's early morning news letter powerup, jackie alemany. how successful will this push to pass a bill to pause the statute of limitations on crimes by a president be given that congress is so divided? >> that's a great question, and i think it is sort of the worst kept se
