Executive privilege would be a lot weaker in that context. >> there is something that the white house and republicans could seize on, and thats a discrepancy in the story between joe and hunter biden regarding ukraine. listen to what former vice president joe biden said yesterday when defending himself and his son. he was in iowa, he was being asked whether or not he ever discussed his sons work in ukraine. >> mr. vice president, how many times have you ever spoken to your son about his overseas...

Same scrutiny, the trump family has been in the past 2 years, video from the daily caller joins us with more, thank you per joining, appreciate it. >> thanks, heather. heather: why discrepancy on how the particular incidents are being covered and handled? >> i mean, its really the double standards are astonishing, its very unfair whats happening to president trump, if you look at the facts and this phone call that he had with the ukrainian president, listening to facts from a whistleblower who d...

Forward looking election. whatever happened in 2016, we dont need to litigate that on this specific item on the agenda. lets talk about what were going to do to stop this from happening in the future. mcconnell has said in the past, privately, not publicly, that the difficulty with talking about election interference is that the president sees any conversation about russian interference in american elections or foreign interference generally as a referendum, a statement on his own legitimacy as ...

Of the underlying complaint. that would shed a lot of light on the discrepancy here. but again, to go back to mr. giulianis comments which were admittedly hard to follow during the interview. but the blanket claim that anything the president did or said in those conversations is completely above board, it feels like a bit of a stretch to me. it is true that the president has unfettered authority to conduct foreign policy and that takes place off in conversations with other world leaders. it is a...

Investigate former vice president joe biden and he claims the president has ever right to as well. joining me now is former fbi director -- deputy director andrew mccabe. andy, i want you to listen to what rudy giuliani once again told chris last night. he basically said even if the president asked ukraine to do this, theres nothing wrong with it. >> all i can tell you is if what is reported is true, it doesnt make a damn -- it doesnt make any difference. if the president of the united states sa...

This is from the kremlins press service. president trump offered putin assistance in fighting forest fires in siberia. then what the white house said was president trump spoke with president vladimir putin today and expressed concern over the vast wildfires afflicting siberia. so one is a promise of assistance. one is expressing concern. so theres a discrepancy, but it cant be about wildfires, right? would a whistleblower be so concerned about this phone call? >> not as described, no. but, of co...

To the press and this just shows the breakdown in law and order that this president and his administration continues to contribute to. >> since clearly you were not told what the underlying issue is, i have to ask you about a reported call between the president and vladimir putin, it was acknowledged by the white house hours after the congress acknowledged it and there was a real discrepancy between the way moscow described the subs stance of the call and what the white house only under pressure...

They take the electronics do a forensic scrub. thats kind of an intpulterred road map for investigators to see what the suspect has been thinking and also what they have been doing. based on the notes were getting from wsvn, the suspect had on his cell phone terrorism map execution videos. what immediately comes to mind is isis. i think more significantly, he told a co-worker that his brother was part of isis and that he had traveled to iraq in march, though theres a discrepancy here. he later s...

>> reporter: right, anderson. we pretty much know who it is. thats the closest that president trump came to actually blaming iran. far short of where he went on twitter in terms of a response over the weekend. we should note, his secretary of state, mike pompeo, not apprehensive at all. hes squarely placing the blame on iran. and the discrepancy is so glaring that today reporters asked trump if pompeo perhaps had information that the president had yet to see. trump assured reporters that they we...

Talk that took place wouldnt be a talk without preconditions. does that make sense? it doesnt. for the latest, i want to go to cnn white house correspondent boris sanchez. boris, so the president is saying its, quote, looking like iran was behind this attack. he still is not definitively saying they did it, correct? >> right, anderson. we pretty much know who it is. thats the closest that president trump came to actually blaming iran. far short of where he went on twitter in terms of a response ...
