A recap of the days news. Alive that hes willing to speak to the special counsel. You know, i really dont believe it. I dont think he want to sit down with the special counsel. I think his lawyers have impressed upon him the risks of doing that. I think they want to keep it out there in the public eye, were not afraid, we have nothing to hide, were willing to sit down. And them going on about this back and forth and this negotiation allows them to continue to claim thats true. So, michael, sources are telling our Gloria Borger that muellers team is willing to reduce the number of questions theyd ask about potential obstruction by nearly half . Is that what do you think of that, is that smart . I think glenn makes a good point and a good lawyer when you go in and youre talking to somebody of interest to you in an investigation, you know the answers. Youre basically pushing them to see what response you get. Whether you ask him ten questions about it or five questions about it, they alre
Anderson Cooper takes viewers beyond the headlines with indepth reporting and investigations. Attorney general Jeff Sessions should stop this rigged witchhunt right now before it can stain our country any longer. Bob mueller and the democrats that are doing his dirty work are a disgrace to the usa. The key sentence, Attorney General Jeff Sessions should stop this rigged witchhunt. Thats what the president said. He said stop it right now. It sounds like the president , who Chief Executive wants to see jeff session, who works for him and the russia investigation ended right now. That is what it sounds like, because that is actually what the president wrote. Unless, of course, you believe his Press Secretary and tv lawyer who scrambled to try and convince the public that what the president said about what he wants to see happen and happen right now was in no way a directive to actually make it happen and happen right now. No, according to them, it was only some guys opinion, the guy who h
Doh spicer. All right, so, the white house used to claim that the president s tweets are not just idle opinionating, theyre official statements with the power of the white house behind him. How many times have people working for the president said the president s tweet speaks for itself or words to that effect . Except for todays tweet. That apparently doesnt speak for itself. That needs a spokesperson and a tv lawyer speaking for it, sweeping up after it, quietly trying to wipe it off the bottom of their shoes. When the president of the United States says that one of his subordinates should do something and do it now, how is that just one guys opinion . It all smacks of another effort that was made recently to suggest that the president didnt really say what everyone heard him say. And a key sentence in my remarks, i said the word would instead of wouldnt. The sentence should have been, i dont see any reason why i wouldnt, or why it wouldnt be russia. Sort of a double negative. That a
all right. we ve been waiting all day. the votes from maricopa county, and we are getting them right now. let s go to sara sidner, who is in maricopa county, in phoenix, with this traunch of vote tabulations. sara, what do you got? what are the numbers? reporter: we actually have someone from the county right here with us. megan gilbertson is here. she has been here days now. can you give us an update of what the new numbers are. in maricopa county, we have 1.13 million ballots cast as of today. that was an additional 62,000 ballots in this post. okay. so, now we are seeing 62,000 more ballots that have been counted. yes. reporter: at this hour. absolutely. reporter: can you give me a sense of, do you know where that falls out with the senate race and with the governor s race. so, i m going to leave that to you guys to do all that analysis.
life to save others. we ve just been given a two-minute warning that president biden will go to the podium at the white house to discuss this latest jobs report. as we wait, gloria borger, cnn political analyst, with me here. how does the president couch it, spin this? i think he probably says we have a long way to go, we are making progress, we re in the middle of a pandemic. there s always way to spin numbers. obviously, they are not the numbers they wanted, but they will always find the silver lining in some of these numbers, which is that there were 1.13 million new jobs created last month, and that s very important. and so, you know, the 210,000 number was not a number that they expected. it was expected to be much higher. this has been a consistent,
