Months, it sounds like trump thinks his fight to drain the swamp is going great. this is from last night. [ chanting ] >> under my administration we are fighting against the lobbyists, the special interests and the corrupt washington politics. >> nothing about the corrupt new york politics. but if he believes that, someone on his staff should give him a copy of "the washington post" today. heres the latest. three days after president trump was sworn into office, the telecom giant at&t turned to ...

Michael cohen for help on a wide portfolio of issues pending before the federal government. including the companys proposed merger with time warner according to documents obtained by the washington post. the documents detail the full scope of cohens $600,000 deal with at&t and how his contract specified he would provide advice on the $85 billion merger which required the approval of the federal anti-trust regulators. rick, youre nodding. >> well, im nodding because what donald trump has done is ...

Mueller. there is far too much incriminating information out there to jamb him up. >> betsy, you were nodding. >> i agree with that. i think as every day passes it becomes less and less likely the president will consent to sitting down with an interview with mueller. part of the reason giuliani has done this flamboyant media effort over the last few weeks is because he is trying to shift this from being a legal question to a political and public affairs question, and hes trying to persuade the a...

Senators that have been up in mid terms in states that a president of the other party had just won, and yet look at this. you add these up. look at all those wins up there. the incumbents are 21 and 3 in this scenario. the donleys, the manchins, the mck mccaskills. they are 21 and 3. when the tide moves against the white house it can prop up incumbents, kasie, who might otherwise be doomed. >> that is a fascinating point, steve. i love seeing it laid out that way. christine mathews, youve been n...

Is this just a broad overview, is there more to come? >> i think there is more to come. it is a pretty incredible story and michael to put together that list, an amazing source whoever provided it. because it really does give you a roadmap in to four different parts of the trump world, all of which have potholes and land did the mines for the president. i do think that the questions that michael has reported are written broadly. they are just the beginning. as a prosecutor, id be following up, s...

To join the trump administration. it is exhibit a of what you just showed. >> youre nodding over there. i know youre not a lawyer, but would you defend the president? >> god, no. this seems to be textbook example of whatnot to do if youre involved in a legal proceeding and were looking at a situation that the president is saying things that contradict things he said in the past. admitting he had an attorney paying off an adult film actress shortly before the election. whether or not he used his ...

Not that driving for intellect cal consistency is high on the presidents agenda. but it does look odd to be taking a sort of promise from the north koreans, meanwhile we have a complete deal with iran that he says is fatally flawed. i think they got tighten up that situation a little. >> so my panelists are nodding and i want to get to kim in a second. i have to ask you, you look at the consecessions that be being made or at least talked about. north korea promising to shut down its main nuclear...
