True. Good morning, everyone, it is friday, april 5th. Im Ayman Mohyeldin alongside Yasmin Vossoughian. Congressional democrats have formally responded to the reports that special counsel Robert Muellers investigators were frustrated that attorney general William Barrs public letter on the report excluded damaging information about President Trump. An official telling the Washington Post that summaries were prepared for different sections of the report with a view that they could be made public and two people telling post that barr not releasing them have disappointed team members. In a letter, chairman Jerrold Nadler demanded Immediate Release of the mueller team summaries. Quote you have already provided an interpretation of the special counsels conclusions in a fashion that appears to minimize the implications of the report. Releasing the summaries without delay would begin to allow the American People to judge the facts for themselves. Yesterday the Justice Department did not deny the existence of the special counsel summaries only that Robert Mueller labelled them as off limits. A doj spokeswoman stating quote every page of the confidential report provided to attorney general barr on march 22nd was marked macon taken material protected under federal rule 6e. Thats a law that protects confidential grand jury information and could not be publicly released. In light of the report, chairman nadlers letter indicated all communications between the special Counsel Office regarding the report. They disputed the word summary saying attorney general barr released to release the bottom line findings and concluings without an attempt to summarize the report with an understanding that the report would be released after the department made its redactions. Chairman nadler newly authorized to subpoena the full report said barrs primary isnt it to protect trump. I said that barr is an agent of the president. He was put there for that purpose. Sessions was fired because he wouldnt protect the president personally. Comey was fired because he wouldnt protect the president personally. The president said who is going to protect me personally not look out for tint of the country and they found barr. Whats the timeline on the issuance of the subpoena . Very short order. Beyond that i wont describe it. President trump is heading to americas southern border over threats of illegal immigration into the United States. Its been quite a week on that front beginning last friday. If they dont top them were closing the border. Well close it. And keep. It closed for a long time. Im not playing games. Theres a likelihood ill close the border next week. It certainly isnt a bluff. You can take the president seriously. If we dont make a deal with congress, the border is going to be closed. 100 . Sure, its going to have a negative impact on the economy. Frankly Something Better less drastic tariff the cars coming in. Ill do it. I dont play games. Were going to give them a one year warning and if the drugs dont stop or largely stop, were going to put tariffs on mexico and products in particular cars. The whole ball game is cars. Its the big ball game. With many countries its cars. And if that doesnt stop the drugs, we close the border. We will put tariffs on, if they dont apprehend, and ultimately were going to give it a period of time, but if in a year from now, drugs continue to pour in, were going to put tariffs on. So its a year . No well start with the tariffs and see what happens. So a major new study illustrates the devastating effects trumps tariffs are having on the u. S. Economy as American Consumers bear the brunt of price increases not actually the Foreign Companies hes trying to target as President Trump claims. Former Vice President joe biden will speak later this morning at a Union Conference in washington, d. C. His first public appearance since multiple women made complaints about their discomfort about the way he touched them at events over the years. Yesterday President Trump tweeted a video mocking bidens statement where he pledged to be mindful of personal space. Taking the video and super imposing a photo of biden holding the shoulders of stephanie carter. Biden responded to trump i see youre on the job and president ial as always. In scranton, pennsylvania, spotted biden yesterday outside of the former Vice President s childhood home with a film crew. Sources say he was there to film a video but no word yet on official campaign launch. Joining us now from welsh, politico Daniel Littman coauthor of the politico playbook. Daniel, good to talk to you once again. We talk to him all the time. Get your take on this video and the way President Trump went after biden. Two adults on twitter. Two grown men. I dont think that this is probably the smartest move for the president because, you know, hes been accused of stuff thats way worse than what biden allegedly did. So, you know, for women watching this video, that trump doctored the president of the United States is doctoring a video and putting on twitter on his official account it just doesnt seem like it strikes the right tone and that trump should want to talk about other things. Whats interesting is that he doesnt actually condemn the behavior of any of these me too men, you know, al franken, joe biden, its more about oh, they look weak, or they are forced to apologize. Not hey they should have acted better. Its more mocking their response to all of it. Good point. Let me get your thoughts about how all of this, the revelations, some of these claims made by the women over the past several days, speaking out against the former Vice President are going to impact his 2020 Campaign Roll out . Well, obviously, its disrupted it horribly for the former Vice President. But i think that it indicates that he should have gotten in earlier so he had a Proper Campaign apparatus instead of using one spokesman who is left to bear the brunt of tons of Media Inquiries and joe biden has not been on tv. Im sure you would welcome him on your show. Gladly. He needs to respond any time. He needs to get out there to set his own narrative, and the fact that hes letting other candidates kind of pile on and say well i believe the women, that has made it much harder for him to really respond. You bring up a Campaign Apparatus or lack thereof and i wonder maybe thats one of the reasons why he hasnt gotten into the race quite yet. When youre someone like a former Vice President joe biden you cant necessarily roll out your campaign without everything in place. Its not like beto orourke who is new to the scene. No. You need the Proper Campaign manager and communications folks and logistics. But i think he still wants to get in. He views himself as one of the unique candidates who can actually fight back against trump pretty well. But, you know, hes always had these type much controversies when he has run. Remember a couple of times ago he plagiarized speeches and said not everything has to be attributed. He clearly is trying to find his way about in this very crowded el preview of the twitter wars to come in the 2020 campaign. This is just the my friend. Well talk to you again in just a little bit. Theres been a stunning result in the case of a man who claimed to be Timothy Pitzen who went missing as a child eight years ago after his mother was found dead in an Illinois Hotel room. Dna tests show thats true and investigators are calling it a painful hoax. Reporter 24 hours after getting word that Timothy Pitzen who has been missing for eight years might have been found heartbreaking news for his family. Devastating. Its like reliving that day all over again. Reporter the fbi says a dna test proved a person who showed up in a kentucky neighborhood is not timothy. Hes 23yearold Brian Michael renny and has a criminal record including serving time for burglarier and vandalism in ohio. The family disappointed but not angry. They have dealt with false sightings before. I would reserve all judgment and pray for the young man involved. Reporter timothy disappeared in 2011 from aurora, illinois. His mom took him out of school early. Her body was found three days later in an apparent suicide. We have this child who said he ran way. Reporter the person told him he escaped from two men who had been holding him for two years. Back in timothys hometown his bike sits at a neighbors house given by his dad to a family of a boy he played with. This was the timothys house, his playground. Reporter jacqueline lives in the house that timothy once called home. I had hoped one day hell pass by and say that was my playground. Reporter now the question why would anyone impersonate a missing child. We know youre out there somewhere, tim. We will never stop looking for you. Praying for you. And loving you. Completely heartbreaking. So our thanks to ron mott.

President trump announced he intends to tap former republican president ial candidate herman cain for a seat on the Federal Reserve board of governors. I recommended herman cain. Hes a very terrific man. A terrific person. Hes a friend of mine. I have recommended him highly for the fed. I told my folks that hes the man. Hes doing some prechecking now and i would imagine he would be in great shape. Trumps pick signals hes pushing to place Friendly Faces on the fed amid his continued attacks against chairman engineer roam powell for raising interest rates. Cain joined the board of directors for the Federal Reserve bank of kansas city in 1992 serving as the boards chairman from 1995 to 1996. During the 2012 president ial campaign cain faced Sexual Harassment allegations that caused him to end his bid. He denied the allegations but resulted in settlements. Cains nomination follow plans to nominate Stephen Moore to the Federal Reserve board. Moores nomination has been clouded by revelations of current tax lien and Child Support allegations. The administration granted waivers to 6 of the applicants during the ban. The Trump Administration has argued that the waivers are proof that the policy was not aimless but needed to protect National Security. In its june 2018 ruling upholding one of the administrations revised versions of the ban the Supreme Court cited the Waiver Program to support the governments stance that it served a legitimate National Security interest. In a entertainment to reuters democratic senator Chris Van Hollen says this data paints a clear and deeply disturbing picture of the trump travel ban. The administration repeatedly swore to the Supreme Court and the American People that this was not a de facto muslim ban and that there was a clear waiver process to ensure fairness. That count be further from reality. Lets bring in nbc meteorologist bill karins for the weather. We have an ugly friday or a beautiful saturday or vice versa .

Lets start with the mornings top stories. President trumps former mixer Michael Cohen appears to be making a last ditch effort to delay his prison sentence. In a letter to congressional democrats, lawyers for cohen insist he can still when their oversight ininquire rice. According to his legal team cohen had discovered new files that could be relevant to their investigations but would need to remain out of prison in order to sift through the millions of documents. Cohens lawyers say he was recently given access to the files that were seized by federal investigators during a search in april of 2018. The files reportedly include voice mail messages and recordings as well as 14 million other documents. Cohens lawyers are asking democrats to provide documentation of his cooperation which could help convince federal prosecutors that hes Still Necessary for their investigations and prompt a postponement or even reduce his prison time. Cohen is scheduled to begin serving a three Year Prison Sentence on may 6th. President trump says that democrats demanding to see his tax returns will have to speak to his lawyers. The chair mapp of the house ways and Means Committee sent a letter requesting six years of trumps business and personal tax returns. Heres how the president responded to questions about that yesterday. Watch. Speak to my lawyers. Speak to the attorney general. They will speak to my lawyers and speak to the attorney general. So Top Republicans are also weighing in on democrats who move to see the president s tax returns. House minority whip say americans are shocked that congress can review tax returns whether its a blue Collar Worker or the president of the United States. They deannounced the move as an abuse. Tremendous wrote a letter to mnuchkin weaponizing the tax code sets a dangerous precedent. As you know bylaw all americans have a fundamental right to the privacy of the personal information found in their tax returns. Really raise that question again about what is on those tax returns. What is on those tax returns. Joining us now from washington Daniel Littman. What is in those tax returns . Do you have the answer to this . My friend if you do have the answer to this break the story. I do not have inside access to the irs. I do think its interesting that the New York Times revealed that trump was obsessed with getting the general counsel of the irs confirmed, that was a higher priority for him than even the attorney general bill barrs confirmation because he wanted a top lawyer at the irs to make sure that they are batting down the hatches to guard against this request. But, you know, if trump has nothing to worry about then he should let the returns speak for themselves. And this seems to be a matter of when not if democrats get access to this because in the Statutory Authority they have a right to see any filers return and past president s, of course, have released their taxes. The context, though, that republicans are trying to make saying that this is an invasion of a private american citizens, his privacy of an american citizen and that they are worried about the precedent this sets for ordinary americans whether its a blue Collar Worker or president. Does that hold any truth to it . Well, obviously, they can look at anyones tax returns but i dont think congress is going to get mocked for looking into, you know, joe schmos tax return. The president is different from someone who is an average american. Hes the most powerful person in the world. And i think democrats view this as an issue that they ran on in 2018 and they won saying that we need transparency. This is a guy thats not just an average president who rose up through the political rank, he is an international businessman. What Michael Cohen said on capitol hill, there was some financial irregularity. Im wondering if theres l. G. Ation presented which nancy pelosi has talked about mandating every person running for president in the United States has to show their tax returns especially considering the fact this has been the Common Thread from when donald trump announced he was running for president until now two years into i had presidency. You have to show it to buy a house. Bernie sanders has got encriticized for saying hes going release his tax returns. And he hasnt. Thank you very much. Congressman tim ryan of ohio is joining the crowded 20 president ial field. Watch this. This country, as you all know is divided. If i can just say that this has been going on a long time. Our country has been divided for a long time. I can go back into the late 1970 when my fatherinlaw lost his job when youngstown sheet and tube closed. He was off 13 months. Just bought a newhouse. I can go back a few weeks where my daughter called crying from school her friend evers crying to her, her dad just got transferred at the local General Motors plant, the kids had to move. My daughter called me and said, you got to do something. And i said im going to do something. And im going to run for president of the United States. So ryan plans to officially kick off his campaign with a rally with local Union Leaders in youngstown, ohio on saturday afternoon. Congressman ryan will be coming up on morning joe to discuss his 2020 run. Michael bennet of colorado was diagnosed with Prostate Cancer late last month. He sat down with chuck todd on meet the press daily. Watch. Do you feel any different knowing this diagnosis . No. You dont nobody likes hearing they have cancer, thats for sure. I mostly feel overwhelmed how lucky i am. If you get cancer free youre 100 in. Right. No ambiguity. Any time you hear the c word, it doesnt reorient you maybe about what you want to do. Did this actually does this focus you more . A this is something i want to do. I think i have something to contribute. We need to focus on what the country needs us to focus on which the fact that incomes havent risen for americans in the last 40 years. Thats where the focus needs to be in this campaign. We need to be disciplined about it or we can lose to donald trump. Certainly be praying for him during this treatment. Investigators are sharing what they now know about the final moments before the Deadly Ethiopian Airlines crash last month. Findings show the pilots followed all of boeings emergency procedures but still could not regain control. Tom costello has the latest on this. Reporter within seconds of taking off ethiopia ran flight 302 was in trouble. One of the planes external sensors seemed to fail possibly after a bird strike sending data to suggest the plane was nose up and could stall. The pilots control column began shaking violently with a stall warning. Then the planes new mcas antistall system pushed the nose down. Two and a half minutes into flight, pilots followed boeings procedures and cut the power. The crew followed april procedures but of not able to control the aircraft. Reporter turning off mcas turned off the planes electric trim feature that keeps it level and the plane was flying much faster than it should. So fast the pilots struggled to fly the plane nahinu ally. They turned the automatic system back on which reengaged mcas putting the plane in a fatal nose divisive. The fact they turned it back on was that the final nail in the coffin . If so then they should have followed procedure. Reporter the crew never reduced speed. If they had they might have been able to fly manually. The environment in that cockpit was one of chaos. It was complex. Things were happening very quickly. There were multiple failures. They ran out of time. Reporter boeing acknowledged the mcas sensors in ethiopian and indonesian crashes. Most accidents are caused bay chain of events. This, again, is the case here. We know we can break one of those chain links in these two accidents. Reporter so as boeing is now working on the Software Upgrade for mcas that could take a few more weeks. They identified one other Software Issue related to this integration of the new software into the overall computer system. And thats the concern. As they work through the computer problem they may identify other lines of code that may need to be corrected. Theres been so much back and forth as to whether or not these Ethiopian Airline ploirts pilots were trained to deal with this mcas system or not. Still ahead, everybody, some breaking news concerning brexit. Prime minister theresa may no . Is looking for another delay. What a surprise.

Welcome back. Into some breaking news across the pond this morning where with one week to go until the newest date for tcu to leave the european union, british Prime Minister theresa may, guess what . Has formally requested another brexit extension. This time until june 30th. Parliament has rejected mays brexit deal three times and has already rejected every other brexit alternative put forward in a series of nonbinding votes. You get a sense parliament doesnt want to leave the eu, i think thats what they are saying. The eu has agreed late last month to conditionally delay the brexit until april 12th. Were waiting to see what the eu says next. In a major reypudiation of the president , they have voted to end all military support for yemen. The senate has twice passed the resolution, most recently last month. The house passed a similar resolution in february after being barred from taking any action on the senates bill under then speaker paul ryan. Its the first time a resolution to end military action under the quote war powers act of 1973 has reached the president s desk. Trump is expected, though, to veto the measure. It does not appear congress has the votes to override him. Lets switch gears and bring in bill karins with a check on your weather.

Joining us now from washington d. C. , the cofounder of axios, mr. Mike allen. What is axioss 1 big thing for today . Thank you. First things first, happy friday to all of you. Thank you for a great week. The axios 1 big thing is the democrats 2020 edge. This is Chris Kreuger of colin research came up with this. House republicans have 13 women, thats 7 of their members, 13 women house republicans. House republicans have 14 dudes named greg or mike. So its a new way of looking at the gender disparity among house republicans. The New York Times a few years ago discovered at the time there were no men named john running fortune 500 companies than there were ceos who were women. This points to a big republican problem and a democratic opportunity, and that is the suburbs. That is what could be so important in 2020 and we saw real republican bleeding there in the midterms and a lot of it was because of women. I want to meet the researcher who says i want to know how many john or gregs. How are republicans planning on going after women in the 2020 election you had the vote for the violence against women act, a lot of republicans saying they were torn on how to vote on that, certainly that should be bipartisan normally and of course they were up against the nra yesterday. How do they go off the female vote come 2020 . And they are pitting an emphasis on recruiting women. House republicans say they thing good announcements. Pu that ras is that republicans now are on track to fuel another allwhite male ticket against the most diverse democratic ticket than that what kind of impact is that happen for that Political Landscape . In just a couple months weve seen a real change. Lgbtq candidates made progress in the mid terms, a couple of governors. Then in the white amazing stats being put up by mayor pete and then amazingly in chicago, Rahm Emanuels light foot, an woman, who was on stage with her partner, who now is going to be the first lady of chicago. I know that you read this but a couple weeks ago there was something on twitter circulating, an anecdote about a writer whose father was a trump supporter and the writer was of more liberal leanings. The father came to the son and said i well like this Pete Buttigieg guy. And he said why . And he said he really knows his issues and on and on. And the father said you know hes gee, coupled with what youre talking about. That is very well to talk about it, were seeing other historic factors are getting even more attention. What is on your radar as we go forward into next week in what are some of the things youre looking for after all these investigations or investigations to get the tax returns, get the mueller report. A lot of stuff to keep an eye on out there. Michael cohen may be the difficult that keeps on giving. At least he wants to be. I think thats right. But this idea of 14 million files from Michael Cohen, if there really are telephone recordings on there nong the things that might have been on a computer, whether or not its helpful with the investigation, this is going to wind up ak narrative of his years with dpt, preserved in detail im sure. President could never have imagined. Its going to be incredible for historians and fascinating for us. And copies of those are wi with weve got the spoiler.
