Former father-in-law this whole time. we know nothing of the sort. but tell me what happens when you mention the name bannon -- when you mention the name manafort in the trump west wing. remind us of all that he could do. >> well, the thing about manafort has been how much hes been willing to fight here. youve had flynn plead. youve had manaforts former deputy, rick gates, plead. but manafort has held out. and the question is, does manafort have something to offer the government about the campai...

Deputy attorney general rod rosenstein. what that action could be would be to propose an indictment of the president. if the deputy attorney general rejected that proposition, he would then write a report that would be automatically delivered to both the majority and the minority in congress. i dont know that i think thats a likely scenario. that doesnt seem to me, based on what i know about bob mueller, the way hed approach this. i think if hes told by the deputy attorney general that its not w...

Both washington, d.c. and the commonwealth of virginia. the charges range from tax evasion to bank fraud. manafort has pleaded notably not guilty. hes slated to be tried later this year. jeffrey yohai was once a manafort business partner, was divorced from manaforts daughter last august. both reuters and nbc news are reporting mueller has been focusing on yohai for the past six months, and reuters says muellers team has already interviewed him. meanwhile, there are also developments in robert mu...

Stations of what became the russia investigation, your knowledge of what this source, what this informant, what this person was up to. >> well, it was very early on in the investigation. this is the summer of 2016. the fbi is trying to figure out what they have, whats going on. very quickly, they can determine theyre not going to solve this case by the election day. and she essentially take sort of a reserved approach to it. they do not take overt measures. they dont go out and execute search wa...

Administration, he has a theory because of the way the regulations are written, the only way for robert mueller to force the report to be delivered to congress is to propose some action that is overalled by the deputy attorney general rod rosenstein. what that action could be would be to propose an indictment of the president. if the deputy attorney general rejected that proposition, he would then write a report that would be automatically delivered to both the majority and the minority in congr...
