the evidence is all over his face. it s bizarre. even more bizarre is the portion about the fee. it s basically set arp that no one trusts donald trump to pay the fee at the end of the day to the help that is working with judge dearie on this. if you look at that, they have set it up so they can hold dom trump in contempt if he doesn t pay his fees. i ll bet you there are lots of lawyers out there that represented donald trump that wish they had that provision in their engagement letters. fascinating conversation. you guys think it s over. you think he has any more moves on the chest for, not even the supreme court? now. not even a chance. the opinion of 11 circuit, three zip, it s well reasoned, it s on the money, there s no way that goes. according including two of his appointees. wow. thank you. good to see you. all of you. i want to bring in donald trump biographer donald d antonio, who is the author of the book high crimes.
in the early days of the dom trump campaign and a top fundraiser during a time when most republicans did not take the candidacy seriously. after donald trump won the election he was directing the inauguration. his wealth of knowledge on donald trump the person, businessman and on the campaign itself. individuals familiar with his special counsel interview told me that investigators asked a lot of questions running the financial matters of the campaign, the transition and the inauguration. russians also focused on two officials from the campaign who have already been indicted. former campaign chairman for metaphor and former deputy campaign trail, rick gates. and a federal judge ruling on the paul manafort case has some tough words for robert mueller. tell us about that. yes. the judge suggested that the team may not even have the authority to be investigating the alleged crimes. metaphor is facing a 10 count indictment on tax and bank run charges for crimes going back as far as 200
activity that was laid out in that indictment but also there may be another layer of activity in this case perhaps providing money directly or indirectly to the campaign. so there s more to come. i think we already have indicators that they were looking at this set of individuals. but there s more to come. look, it just stands to reason, follow the money. follow the rubles. if they have ton of money to spread around or maybe even with real estate. to figure out if donald trump was compromised somehow before that. right. questions of real estate and money laundering may be separate from what mueller is going through here. he is looking at did they use, for example, straw donors to make illegal donations. that is fascinating. i m sorry, the trump s campaign. one of the big accusations
damascus this morning. good morning to you. reporter: hi, david. certainly those words from president trump sent is a clear signal. all the players here in syria, both international and national ones, that america wants out of here. that has done a lot to undermine america s credibility here on the ground. if you look at america s allies, isis, the kurds, they are quite ang angry. ground forces fighting isis ask and thought america would be in it for the long run. some of the forces are already talking to russia. president trump says he wants other countries to step up here in syria. three countries that certainly are stepping up, iran, turkey, and russia. i would say right now the russians are the strongest outside player here inside syria, especially where i am in the damascus area. the the three countries had a
indirectly into dom trump s campaign and inauguration. the trump administration is expected to sanction several russian oligarchs with ties to president trump over election spwrfrps. let s discuss that now with john avlon and carrie cordero. carrie, what s the play here? what are they looking at? is this in the sweet spot of mueller s mandate? good morning. i think it certainly adds another layer to what we already knew about special counsel s investigation as revealed through the indictment, the big indictment of the internet research agency and other russian entities and oligarchs that the special counsel s office already had filed. so in that indictment, those individuals were charged in this case. and so what this new report shows is that the activity of certain russian oligarchs is not have the investigator answer perspective just related to the
