Before it occurred. nbc news is reporting today that the special prosecutor now wants to interview someone who helped arrange that meeting. the special prosecutor has requested an interview with the russian pop star who sent e-mails to donald trump jr. to arrange that meeting in trump tower. his american lawyer told nbc news conversations are ongoing about a potential interview and that it is, quote, unclear how this will play out. which, as of tonight, could serve as the headline for the status...

>> yeah. and certainly the only person who has done it repeatedly and in public to say nothing of what he might have done in private that we dont know about. i guess one question i would have about this whole stage of the investigation is whether the president could in fact be named, if there is a conspiracy alleged in the final analysis by mueller, if he could be named as an unindicted coconspirator as richard nixon was years ago? is that a possibility to joyce or mia? >> i think to joyces poin...

My view would be an admission of guilt, particularly on an obstruction charge, which is why they dont want obstruction as part of the interview. that part i believe. if there is an interview, they dont want any conversation about obstruction. i think it actually points to something that i think i will disagree with joyce on. it is one thing to say hes a subject, that donald trump is a subject of an investigation. subjects can become targets. the fact they have said hes a subject doesnt mean he c...

The foreign governments that have patronized the trump hotel about four blocks from the white house, kuwait, philippines, malaysia and romania all have done so, and patronize it because of the presidents association with it. we should also say the state of maine has similarly done business with the hotel. so, its not just foreign governments but i do want to get to nbcs reporting about michael cohen. that hes willing to tell that the president knew in advance about the trump tower meeting in jun...

A new federal court ruling is threatening to blow the lid off of president trumps financials. the judge is allowing an emoluments case to proceed involving the washington, d.c. hotel. the lawsuit alleges president trump is violating the constitution by doing business with foreign and state governments while in office. joining me now, joyce nance, an msnbc contributor. a welcome voice on this broadcast. thank you for being here, joyce. we have a president who has held his financials very close to...

And, you know, something thats really telling about both the oterrell opinion and the berman opinion, as joyce said, the berman opinion was very strai t straightforward. no way manafort could win that. and as renato said, this was the right call also in the cohen case. yet, both of these judges were extremely comprehensive and thorough. this 24-page opinion, as you say, and oterra saying theres an indictment likely. its the presidents attorney. theres real consciousness on the part of both of th...

An ankle bracelet on each leg will have to face a bevy of existing charges in his first of two public trials beginning in july, unless he flips. to help figure out what this means for manafort, im joined by joyce nance, harry litman, and former federal prosecutor, renato mariotti. joyce, let me start with you. the judges ruling today, whats your takeaway from that? >> its the correct ruling. in a criminal case, there are a variety of mechanisms for a defendant to judge the validity of the lawsui...

You. >> i want to go to joyce. >> we did a separate database about the nominations for specific executive agencies to see if they were conflicted. by conflicted we said did they lobby, take political donations regulated by that agency? of those 380 or so federal nominees, we found that 50%, 50% had some form of conflict. many of them, entire departments were handed over to private industry. >> private industry that was regulated by government. >> correct. in the department of agriculture you had...

Why is my justice department not doing this? they should be doing whats right and proper. presidents rarely say so out loud because it crosses every line we think had been established after watergate about separating law and politics in this way. there are people out there that say theres nothing wrong with that and as head of the judicial branch presidents can direct the justice department. it is very unseemly. >> joyce vance and reverend al sharpton on roy moore in alabama. joyce, go. >> it ce...

>> joyce, good luck in alabama. roll tide. >> thanks. >> alabama or auburn in the iron bowl? >> alabama. >> roll tide. >> roll tide. >> the tide rolls. before we go to break we want to circle back to jeff sessions brushback of house republicans calling for a special counsel probe into the clinton state department. president trump and his allies have been hammering the clinton state department for months, calling the uranium one deal, quote, watergate, modern age. and its been covered virtually...
