>> so, dana, the white house is minimizing papadopouloss role, and yet we have this photo showing papadopoulos with the president. the president also mentioning him in a "washington post" interview. whats going on here? >> well, look, lets just take the white house for what theyre saying, that papadopoulos wasnt a major player in the campaign, because he wasnt. but thats not relevant. what is relevant is that he clearly had access to members of the presidents campaign, senior members of the pres...

Papadopoulos, it says, in fact, sprelly in the documents at the time that part of the investigation was looking into collusion, cooperation between trump associates and the russian campaign. but more recently in a court opinion unsealed today as well dated october 2nd, 2017, the first lines say this is a matter of national importance and that the u.s. through the special counsels office is investigating foreign interference in the 2016 election and potential collusion in those efforts by america...

They have, the new york authorities, either calling it an act of terror or an apparent act of terrorism, very similar language from dhs, evan. >> its definitely terrorism. it sure looks like he had ill intent. but do you believe this individual was so sophisticated that he somehow evaded any attempt at what he was doing, and that he traveled to a training camp in syria, absolutely not. everything here suggests this guy was in the too sharp. the fact that he killed and hurt so many people was a v...

>> thank you. well come back to you later. i want to bring in evan, an nbc terror analyst and someone our viewers are familiar with on sad nights like this. on what should be a celebratory night and what for most americans still will be. we look at and you say something bad happened. in this case, eight killed. over 12 injured. authorities digging into what looks to be a terror investigation. walk us through what we need to know. >> so far there havent been any claims of credit or responsibility...

Didnt have any contact will be a terrorist group. isis has told people living here in the u.s. that its very easy to get guns, this guy wasnt able to even achieve that. something thats extremely easy to do. instead of getting a big, big truck like the guy did in nice, this guys a truck driver, he didnt know that? everyone here tells you this is not someone who was trained in a terrorist training camp. this is a wannabe at best. >> thank you, evan for your reporting. >> evan is very right on thes...

First time as part of this investigation. this is the first time were hearing of anything that robert mueller has turned up that shows direct efforts between the people in the trump campaign talking to russians about making some kind of coordinated effort against hillary clinton. this is a part of an effort that we know the fbi has been looking at, the allegation was that the russians were trying to insinuate themselves into the trump campaign and this is the first proof that were seeing that ro...

American stands to lose about $19,000 of value in their homes. thats not going to help if that $1,000 a year tax savings for middle class america is not going to help when youre talking about losing on average $19,000 of your home value. >> trace: evan, robin has a good point. because we dont know what is in this bill, hes bringing up, you guys are talking about salt and the audience is salt? what about salt? what about the home deduction. a lot of things in this bill we dont know what is in it ...

Politicians not to follow up on it. >> im in agreement with you on that. >> evan. >> people are fatigued, jacks got that right. but theyre fatigued because they have a president and his surrogates who continue to gas light them about the fact that russia engaged in a multifaceted, expanssive effort to influence our politics during the election. people like you, jack, im sorry to say and the president continued to mislead the american people and muddy the water. and, yes, it causes fatigue and, y...

Matter at hand because i want to ask you this, jack, because the trump campaign is saying they only relied on the information from the rn c. but then weve also learned that after president trump won the nomination, his campaign started a series of payments totally nearly $6 million to cambridge analytica and theyre denying any contact with cambridge analytica or that they use cambridge analyticas material. that seems like a strong tie to the company, if you didnt use their material why are you p...

What theyre worried about more is their mortgage, their jbs, their paycheck, their taxes. and i think that thats where their focus is. so the question is where did all these investigations lead to? im not certain that theyre going lead to anywhere. i think both parties are putting too much faith in these investigations shifting the outcome of the next election. and i think the better thing to do is focus on the policies. >> evan -- >> so -- >> let me just say this, and ill let you respond. i agr...
