issues people have about the president in this administration is the curious forgiving nature and types to russia. so why pick this one? i don t know. it seems really shady. all i can think about is hillary clinton s like exhaustive testimony before congress. quite frankly, that s not what we got in this particular case. these are not exactly shrinking violets. folks are starting to be drawn, answer questions. you ll see more of this. the stone walling. we see the mueller investigation is clearly having an impact even as congress behaves in this regard. a joint resolution of
cameras afterwards. so we ll hear what he has to say at the end of the day, poppy. yeah. that is otable, thate s very likely may answer those questions, manu, that reporters have after this testimony because he has wanted it to be so transparent. most witnesses we have not seen answer questions. thank you very much. jim, now to you. well, all eyes on wall street now. markets flat so far this morning. this after down about 40 points there. the u.s. added some 155,000 jobs in novembe. unemployment rate holding tight at 3.7%. also this morning, investors raising doubts about the fragile trade truce with china. this after the arrest of a top chinese tech executive. a lot to get to this morning. thanks very much for taking the time this morning. good to be with you, sir. let me ask you about the jobs report. economists have been expects
sending reporters down to the courtroom as well. michael cohen is expected to plead guilty to a charge in the mueller investigation. and as noted, expected to plead guilty about a trump real estate project in russia. and this would of course mark the first time that the special counsel has charged michael cohen in exchange for pleading guilty and continue to cooperate with mueller. he may be obviously hoping to receive a lighter sentence than he otherwise would have. bill: it would be a good day to get people like alan dershowitz on the air. we will reach out to him and see what he thinks as we try to piece together the legal case and where it could be headed by the end of the day, sandra. sandra: right. we are expecting the president to be departed en route to the g20 summit at the top of the next hour. we were anticipating that he could stop and talk to reporters, answer questions, as he sometimes and often does. this makes 10:00 even more
reason for why they don t want to talk about some of the obstruction issues and so on. but at a certain point executive privilege cannot be a shield to law breaking. if there s a lawful basis, and if mueller has a basis for going further on the obstruction of justice questions, then certainly they can request further written questions. that would be the first step. depending how that goes, get the president to sit down. as we all know trying to take that next step is going to require a lot of litigation and a rot of tilot of time. we haven t seen the end of the obstruction of justice question, it s not going anywhere. trying to get the president to come answer questions in person isn t the only thing here obviously that could delay this from being wrapped up the way the white house has been saying they d like to see it or i guess the president was promised at the end of last year that they were about to wrap it up. matt whitaker has been on the record supporting the prosecution of hi
question mark what is this looking like? if tens are not the answer and i would imagine some people in arizona are a little sensitive about those. do we have and have options? if you get time to start answer questions. katie? katie: i think congress has the obligation to do something about this. the president can say everything he wants about bolstering border patrol, sending more groups tr, sending them down to build the fencing and putting down the barbed wire in tijuana come as we have seen. the truth is, if you don t change the laws about asylum, and bridging raising the standn addition to having the same standard for mexican illegal immigrants as you do for central americans. right now, again, i keep saying this if you come into the country illegally from mexico, you can be detained and to be duly deported back. if you come from central america, especially as a family unit, you are required by american immigration law to be processed through and let go into the country.
