Let gee lets go out front. House republicans voting to release that controversial classified memo to the public. Its a highly partisan document alleging the highest levels of the fbi misused the fisa program when it comes to the Trump Campaign. It came from the former mi6 agent. They used it as a basis to get a warrant from a fisa judge. That advisor is carter page. Democrats say the memo really and deeply misrepresents the intelligence that its based on cha highly classified which were not going to be able to see. Were only to getting to sew the republican interpretation of what they want to cherry pick out of the that evidence. This is part of an effort to discredit the russia investigation and robert muell r muellers probe. The president of the United States will not put his own interest over his personal interest. Its sad day when thats true of our own committee because today this committee voted to put the president s personal interest, perhaps their own political interest above t
I think i probably learned it in first grade, somewhere around there. But i didnt learn it from the president , rachel, and this is one of the parenting challenges. Kid comes home today and says, mommy, what does this mean . You know, one of the one of the pieces of trivia that survived through the years about rich yard nixon and the way the president viewed his behavior was that he once said he didnt give on a white house tape he didnt give a bleep about the lira, italian currency, talking about monetary issues and an object of shock and disgust across the country that the president would say that he didnt give a bleep about a foreign currency. And now, i mean, does nixon get whitewashed in retrospect contrasted to what we have to report tonight . Its just every, every president can thank donald trump for making every one of them look a little better in some way. Yeah. Exactly. By the way he conducts himself. Recall braibrating it. Thank you. They went to make a deal with the devil an
Right now. President trump is inviting Vladimir Putin to the white house for a new separate special meeting. It comes as his own intel chief concedes today that trump didnt take the right approach in his big meeting with putin this week, saying he would have done it a different way to avoid giving Vladimir Putin power by holding this now very controversial meeting without u. S. National security staff in the room. They asked me how that ought to be conducted. I would have suggested a different way. But thats not my role. Thats not my job. So it is what it is. It is what is. Coats making waves by admitting he was kept in the dark when putins top officials went into that Oval Office Meeting without National Security staff, and that was, of course, another very odd russiarelated meeting trump held. The white house is pushing forward, though, with this other meeting amidst universal condemnation of the helsinki summit which even trump acknowledged by walking back three different major russ
What did he accomplish . What did he disrupt . Then trumps next big meeting with russian president putin. What can we expect . Will the president get an artful deal or a bad one . Ill talking about it all with a terrific panel. Also this week, nikki haley, u. S. Ambassador to the u. N. , wrote a scathing response to a United Nations report about poverty in america. Haley called the report patently ridiculous. I will talk to the author of that report, phillip alston. First, heres my take. President trumps trip to europe has been portrayed by both him and his critics as revolutionary. He tells us that single handily and miraculously, he got members of nato to increase their defense spending sharply. His critics claim that single handedly he wrecked the western alliance by sowing doubt and discord among americas closest supporters. Neither is fully true. President obama routinely asked for increased defense spending from natos allies. Trumps loud charge that germany has become too depende
Everybody ready for the big day tomorrow. So many people in a bar so early there in cleveland. Hallie jackson, safe travels to you. Good morning to you. Craig melvin here in new york city. There are just 19 hours now until the first polls open in one of the most tensionfilled midterms in recent history. Voters telling nbc news in a new poll theyre more excited about this election than even the huge midterm of 2010 when democrats lost the house. In that same poll voters say its democrats who should control congress by a single margin of seven points. Already almost 35 million americans have voted across the country. Yes, that is a record. And if those polls are to be believed, democrats are poised to take the house. Republicans equally poised to hold the senate, but the polls are so close. Turnout has already been so enormous. Every calculation must come with its own caveat. Thats why every candidate is on the campaign trail with a hard sell. You look at whats marching up, thats an inva
