Issue, which i think a lot of democrats think is a winner for them. but not this one apparently. >> yeah, he is. hes saying he wont back nancy pelosi for speaker. hes trying to convince the people in the district, that its a majority democratic district, its been hospitable for republicans for a long time and a safe red district. he doesnt run away from the party on everything. i gather he did not support the tax cut, which the benefits of which may be starting to be felt in that district. so we...

Part of a paper trail that wont go away. "the new york times" with a great lead, quote, if a hush payment falls in a news already torqued to maximum volume, does it make a sound. matt, there were many great lines in this piece. hes a complicated subject in this presidency. how is this scandal shaping up to be different? i mentioned those 19 accusations. >> its a complicated one. this broke in "the wall street journal." weve seen a slow creep over the last two months to the point point where this...

Such a reaction, weve seen so many missteps by intelligence agencies and people who were in a position to prevent this from happening. so i think thats an area na people are going to be looking at and theres a lot of room for bipartisan compromise. maybe theres room for bipartisan compromise looking at background legislation, something that both sides can come together on and agree on. there are ways to do those things. so theres definitely room here. >> all right, emily, thank you, very, very m...

Happened? where are the statements? they dont examine is. >> trumps legal team is studying a 1990s era court ruling in in order to avoid a possible interview between the president and special counsel. this is again against cross currents of truth or lying. the president said, ill take it under oath. ill answer all the questions under oath and they start looking for some precedent to protect him from having to arenas any questions. >> we keep saying, of course, the president has to talk because n...
