trump administration this week? it is something that deserves a lot more attention than it got. but first tonight, the national security threat coming from the white house. damaging evidence against the president continues to come out of the impeachment investigation, and a blockbuster report in the washington post shows just how the president s actions have put u.s. interests in danger. thanks to president trump s habit of using a vulnerable cellphone. russians possibly knew about his attempts to extort ukraine long before that information was made public, officials tell the post. phone logs released this week by house democrats showed multiple calls from trump s personal lawyer, rudy giuliani, to white house phone numbers at critical moments during the pressure campaign on ukraine. the calls underscored the degree to which trump and giuliani seemed to have coordinated their efforts. but the post reports that those unsecured calls were just the beginning. according to current an
yovanovitch, quote, the former ambassador from the u.s., the woman, was bad news, and the people she was dealing with in the ukraine were bad news so i just want to let you know that. yovanovitch speaking to congress today for the first time and helping to shine a spotlight on rudy s influence over the state department and over the president, something that the washington post reports today was creating alarm and concern earlier and among more white house aides than previously disclosed. from that blockbuster report. least four national security officials were so alarmed by the trump administration s attempts to pressure ukraine for political purposes that they raised concerns with the white house lawyer both before and immediately after president trump s july 25th call with that country s president. that s according to u.s. officials and other people familiar with the matter. but on a day of fast-moving developments we start with a
july 25th call with ukraine. the one in which donald trump said do me a favor, ukraine. see if you can investigate and dirty up the bidens. so it is a story every news outlet is now racing to match. finally another blockbuster report in the new york times, another request to another foreign leader, the australian prime minister this time to investigate trump s conspiracy theories for his own political gain. tim. a lot to digest. i ll just say in bill barr s favor is that around the issue of motive, he said about the first call to ukraine, he didn t know anything about it. it may be he knew nothing about australia. but that again is the danger of trump. he pulls you into his muck. and bill barr might have thought he would sit outside of this process. but we still don t know if he is drekts directly culpable for anything trump said. so he should get a bit of a pass
if any of these people get in, it will go to hell. i was joking but i m really not joking. you have no choice because whoever they put in, the saner they are, the worse they re doing, and whoever they put in, it looks like a revolution to the left. they re going to take your money and very much hurt your families. i just don t think people could allow that to happen. that was the president of the united states last night sounding like a desperate man as the country slowly inches closer and closer to the 2020 election. donald trump seems to be resorting in that instance to desperate measures to fulfill a campaign promise he made in 2016. we knew from earlier this month trump planned to divert money from the pentagon to help pay for his wall on the southern border. we now know from a blockbuster report, his plan was to, quote,
revelations that will be coming this fall that will blow the lid off this scandal. the biggest scandal in our lifetimes. while the rest of the media was peddling their lives, conspiracy theories, propaganda, miss information, we have now gotten to the point where the truth is coming. on monday, former attorney described what he believes to be a blockbuster report coming. take a look. is going to come out. it s going to be hard-hitting. he spent almost two years interviewing various people. witnesses looking at what he describes as almost 1 million documents. i think he s going to make recommendations regarding prosecution and turning this whole fisa, this foreign intelligence surveillance act, i think he s going to turn them on their heads. sean: meanwhile, the
