Packages. mail bombs, not bombings. they did not go off. we expect the joint terrorism task force, led by the attorney general of the united states, to lead this press conference in just a moment. what do you expect theyll be able to tell us at this point? >> possibly some details about this suspect, whos been identified as cesar sayoc, 56 years old, lives in south virginia. owns a van weve been seeing a lot of. we see now officials coming out. perhaps theyll give us some investigative detail. w...

Disinfranchise native americans. right now we want to make sure every american can exercise that right to vote. of course at the end of the day everyone needs to respect the results. >> senator, we appreciate your time today with us. thank you. so coming up in the next hour, we are going to be joined by republican senator ben sasse and also a republican governor of ohio john kasich. we will get their take on all of this and also the presidents remarks and repeated attacks on the media. >> than...

Again recently as it relates to jeff session, his attorney general and he spoke to the associated press this week, and i want to put up what he said, ki fire him when i want to fire him, but i have not said that i was going to the, and if you ask me if i am thrilled, no, i am not thrilled. so the question is how safe and not so much jeff sessions, but how safe is the russia investigation? >> there is the ultimate question of what the president thinks that he is going to be receiving in the way o...

Hey, if its the wrong thing to do, its the wrong thing to do now or after the midterms. lets remember, the watergate investigation took please 28 months from the day of the break-in to the time that the president left. this is a far more complicated investigation, and frankly, a far more important one. >> the deputy attorney general rod rosenstein has spoken out, strongly defending the mueller investigation, but he and the attorney general jeff session might not necessarily be all that safe afte...

A former military guy. hes bipartisan and understands civilian control of the military. so i think, perhaps, the comment by the president, saying hes sort of a democrat, is softening the blow that, hey, hes a guy on the other side, so it wont matter if we get rid of him. and truthfully, it surprised me. im not sure which party affiliation general mattis has, but i do know he spent 40 years in a bipartisan arrangement wearing the uniform, where he supported any president and understands that he s...

Unpreparedness. >> and kristen welker, the president today was commemorating the losses in shanksville, pennsylvania, and people are noticinging the twitter storm, and all kinds of things, attacks on eric holder, and peter strzok, and -- he does not seem to be completely focused on the significance of this day. >> he does not seem to be, andrea, and he sent out the tweets before he der parted for shanksville, and you are right, taking sharp aim at attorney general jeff session, and comparing him...

In his allocution. i dont think hes going the lie at that point, because hes already pled guilty. so if hes telling the truth, jeff sessions was not. >> what do you do about that? >> well, the republicans, if they were running honest investigations and wanted to make sure we had an attorney general who is being straight with us, would wring attorney general sessions back. but again, we have seen a complete unwillingness to do that. so its somewhat wiwhat will th about that? if they want an admin...

Characters associated with the trump team like the person you just interviewed, like roger stone, stark contrast to the folks with the obama and clinton team. it really is sad that the people who are counting on the president to work for them for their health care, for their jobs, to root out corruption. these are the guys that are behind the president. it really is a stark contrast. >> congressman, as you know, hes not the only person speaking out. george papadopoulos, who started the fbi probe...

Is he telling the truth? >> all i can say, this was a meeting about two years ago. my recollection differs from jeff sessions. >> he did not push back? >> my recollection differs from his at this point. >> you can tell everyone is lawyered up from the way they walk. but the core point is the investigative work that you guys have been doing in the house quite frankly, last created that contrast, that george p papadopoulos was being misleading. >> jeff session too has come back after his initial s...

The president of the united states if you had to put money on it? >> honestly, i would probably believe mr. woodward. >> jeff is a patriot. he loves this country. >> reporter: diana white head says shes known sessions for several years and she voted for donald trump? >> the president disrespects him, puts him down, criticizes him, makes fun of him. how does that make you feel? >> not very good. >> reporter: there are trump and sessions supporters who say its not a big deal, that this is just tru...
