Conversations Manafort News Today

Answer when judge amy berman jackson said do you disagree with what the prosecution laid out on friday? do you disagree and think that perhaps he didnt lie at all? leaving aside whether or not it was intentional lying, and they couldnt say yet. they want time to converse with manafort and get more information. but what it appeared to me, ali, to be the case is that they are not sure if their client lied because perhaps their client is lying to them as well. some of these conversations manafort h...

To all these conversations manafort was having with these pro-russian ukrainians. it may be he has a lot more information about how this web of connections works than we have seen publicly so far. >> we are happy to bring our viewers the face behind the byline mark mazetti at the "times." theres this story, theres the fact that hes one of the five bylines in our first segment tonight. we greatly appreciate you staying up with us after a better than average news day in the business, mark. and mik...

The trump campaign, but the trump campaign was certainly eager to reciprocate. and i do have to say that in february of last year, the "times" wrote the first story about contacts with russian intelligence and we took some heat for it. but weve only seen case after case that have shown that these contacts were real. >> and mieke, mr. gates is not the most famous or infamous name in this case. he surfaces in the news from time to time. lets talk about him for a moment. hes cooperating, of course,...

Information at this meeting, but of course information did come from the russians later via wikileaks and others that was damaging, did come at a damaging point in the campaign. and we also see a pattern of meetings with russians, the george papadopoulos meeting, this meeting, conversations manafort had, carter page, other people throughout the campaign. so i wouldnt look at this meeting as the entirety of this whole thing. the other thing about what happened with the house republicans in this w...

House republicans put out something more akin to a bit of a defense brief in their report on the republican side. and so david, let me read to you. they say in a finding manafort and kushner and junior attended but did not obtain derogatory information about clinton on russian sources. what do you make of that defense? we might have wanted to do something potentially illegal, but we couldnt pull it off? >> we dont know that they didnt pull it off. we have all the evidence they did pull it off. t...

Throughout the campaign. so i wouldnt look at this meeting as the entirety of this whole thing. the other thing about what happened with the house republicans and this whitewash report by devin nun yez who is the pr guy for the white house, they said trump junior and manafort showed trump junior. i think thats the understatement of the year. you look at richard engels interview with this woman. it doesnt tack -- you dont have to watch a whole season of "homeland" to think maybe this woman is con...
