Good day im Chris Jansing live at msnbc headquarters in new york city. We are just learning that things are getting heated in court as donald trump today is trying to get charges tossed. Not in manhattan but in florida where hes now fighting to end his classified documents case even before it goes to trial. The Special Prosecutor calling the claims legally and factually flawed. The terrifying turbulence of a flight over thailand, passengers launched from their seats, some slamming into the ceiling of the plane as it hit an air pocket. The flight plum meting 6,000 feet in minutes. What investigators on the scene are looking for. With closing arguments in trumps Hush Money Trial Set for next week were on the verge of answering a question, thats been hanging over the president ial race for more than a year. Will the jurys decision also determine the former president s political future and is a Trump Centric race bad for President Biden. So a lot to get to. We start with a rare flurry of a
Adviser. The Washington Post reports that Jared Kushner wanted a secret channel to communicate with the kremlin before trump took office. Also, kushner met with a russian banker who is a crony of vladimir putin. Then, theres the president s domestic agenda. His Budget Proposal is blasted and an Appeals Court stops his revised immigration ban. Plus, his plan to repeal and replace obamacare fades even more as the days go by. First, Russian Ambassador teing moscow that Kushner Wanted Secret Communications Channel with kremlin. That was the headline in the Washington Post. Next up, trumps soninlaw had undisclosed contacts with russian envoy sources, that coming from reuters. And then, Senate Intelligence Committee Requests Trump Campaign documents that coming from the Washington Post as well. So were still a long way off from understanding what, if anything, was going on. This says nothing of Donald Trumps own family. This one incident requires Jared Kushner and all of his immediate staff
They wanted it so badly. Have you ever worked for the russian government . Do you have connections to the russian government . Translator no. The white house denying collusion. The president s lawyers denying he knew about this meeting at all. I do want you to keep this in mind. This makes at least seven current or former Trump Campaign team member who is either lied, changed their stories or have not been forthcoming about their contacts with russia. Joining me right now, political director, david is with me. David, what does this mean . What does this change . Well, i think we are now seeing drip, drip, drip in a significant way just on the donald trump jr. Meeting. Just this one meeting. He had a version on saturday, that didnt hold up. Sunday, its negative information about Hillary Clinton that could help in the campaign. Now we are learning, this is where it gets significant. He knew in an email, now, this is going to be part of sort of evidence that mueller, that senate intel, th
President trump is calling it president ial harassment. Democrats are calling it their constitutional duty, telling the president this is his new reality. House democrats now armed with subpoena power, announcing more investigations into more of the president s business. We will not surrender our constitutional responsibility for oversight. That would make us delinquent in our duties. Right this very minute, house ways and Means Committee now run by democrats is holding a hearing on new legislation to acquire all president ial candidates to release their tax returns. Its perceived as the opening salvo in that committees plan to ultimately subpoena President Trumps tax returns, thus revealing whatever it is the president has been hiding for all these year. And President Trump, who long has been complaining about Robert Muellers russia investigation now has even more investigations to complain about.
