Build a case. Very strange but u. S. Intelligence Officials Say theres no delay. The meeting was always set to take place later this week adding president obama has yet to receive the full briefing on russian hacking. Trump vowed to release inside information he said he has about the hacks by today. The democratic congressman responding to trumps claim tweeting this week real donald trump promises new info about russian hacking only he knows what really happened at roswell.

Rudy saying the questions were laid out like a law school exam. He said the questions were complex with a lot of subquestions. Lets continue this discussion. Joining me now defense attorney and former federal prosecute or what is your response to Rudy Giuliani telling me that basically if there are followup questions from muellers team that they will decide whether or not to answer them. Is the ball really in their court here . The ball really is in muellers court. They have dragged it out as long as they can. Its a good move for them to answer things in writing first. Any followup questions will be determined by muellers team and also the enforcement aspect is in muellers court at the moment.
