Certainly robert mueller is going to be sitting down with and hearing their versions of the event as they occurred at the time. >> because these are people who are also very close to james comey when he was the fbi director, you look at what the white house is arguing, trumps lawyer argued earlier this month, the president cannot obstruct justice because hes the chief law enforcement officer under article ii. the presidents lawyers say he had the right toleran do this, doesnt matter what he trea...

Like google hangout online chat room. president trump communicates with the world through twitter. he assumed office promising to use social media wisely. >> im going to do very restrained if i use it at all. i find it tremendous -- its a modern form of communication. >> though he has relied on it to communicate his policy positions and drawn criticism for retweeting propaganda. arguing with a father of a basketball player he freed from jail and exchange of threats. his tweets have prompted quel...

Around and try to make a decision then. youve got to remember, wolf, i was fresh off not being able to make any headway on the deficit issue when i voted no that night. i still felt there was an opportunity to possibly have a bipartisan bill. i was still in discussions with some democrats that were interested. but at this point, you know, when it came -- comes time for this vote, i know that that is not going to happen and do i think our countrys better off having this tax reform in place versus...

Phase of the response also from the presidents lawyers. it is also a little weird. its a little hard to make heads or tails of but basically what the presidents lawyer started arguing today is that they are not just arguing with reporters, they are not just trying to shift the narrative about how people describe what is going on in the investigation, the presidents lawyers are disputing the existence of an important new news story about the progress of the scandal and investigation. they are not...

This small margin they have right now. and the president has this influence, why not just go to alabama and stump with roy moore? >> well, i think the white house wanted to have it both ways. they wanted to be able to say if roy moore does end up losing on tuesday, the president never went to campaign on behalf of roy moore. if he had gone to alabama trumps support in the state would have made the difference. they made the mistake of traveling down to alabama to campaign on behalf of strange. th...

Gave the parties opportunity to object to that order which it says he didnt do. even if not with russian part of what mueller is arguing is manafort could be in violation of doing out of court arguing of the case that the judge has said should only happen in korcourt. >> i think thats what judge would prefer and best thing to do. there are first amendment rights that criminal defendants have if they want to strenuously object to the charge in public arena, its tough to tell them not to do that. ...
