He is well aware of the pitfalls this presents. >> something interesting in our article, you reported on a practice session that president trumps attorneys put him through. what did your sources tell you about that? >> well, yes. so they ran some sample questions by president trump in the white house residence to see how he would do, and they made very little headway. they were there for four hours, but they were repeatedly interrupted. national security advisers would come into the room, they w...

Hours but they were prepeatedly sfwru interrupted. national security advisers would come into the room, wanted to talk to the president about north korea or iran. the lawyers had to leave the room. they didnt need to be privy to that. then they would come back and try to resume the q&a. and they found that the president was kind of as i mentioned long winded in his answers and werent able to cover very much ground, so it was not a successful experiment. >> on the table tonight, that interview de...

After rudy giuliani during the presidency voting in recent weeks, the former new york city mayor going on a media blitz saying that he will have two set conditions before potential q&a between the president and robert mueller. lets bring in a defense attorney and former prosecutor. a fox news legal analyst care by show of hands. thank you for coming in. do you think this is a good idea for donald trump to sit down with robert mueller? >> our hands are down. [laughter] >> that is what i figure. h...

Line of credit, and investigators want to know what the money is for, and are they going be looking into that? what are the political implications of this? >> well, they will be going through all of michael cohens money, and the implications are significant for the president. the way that he has handled the st stormy daniels payment is speaking to the way that he is used to operating as a private citizen and presumably with the nondisclosure agreements like stormy daniels on the sign, and if he ...

President of the united states coming out publically saying i totally want to sit down with mueller, i think this is going to work out fine, i have nothing to hide and i would do it under oath. in reality, his lawyers recognize there are all sorts of problems here. not the least of which is this is a president who is known for being extremely hyperbolic and then saying things that just arent true. trump doesnt know what every witness has said. so a lot of these questions are essentially mueller ...

Syrian peninsula and the furor created and people see risk with that and consistent with the presidents approach to the world, that we are extended in too many places an paying for the defense of too many other countries that ought to be able to do it themselves. and i think one of the things that most concerns people, both conservatives and liberals when they look at the lead up to this meeting, is that the president is so excited about the possibility of what really would be a historic achieve...

Reasons. he spends a lot of time with the president. the president said he saw dr. jackson every single day and got to know him and got to like him. as we have seen in a number of picks, not just this one, what matters more is personal chemistry. the president defended him. this sort of shows the pitfalls of not just thoroughlily vetting someone but barely vetting them at all. >> who among us would not want to be told you could live to 200 years. thank you very much. good to have all of you star...

Real time details depending on what trump says. it is going to be another example of trying to get trump to commit to something before he has talked to his own government about it or until theres been any notification to the press about it. we had the strikes recently in syria, but that has yet to amount to something more wholistic about a plan. >> in case you havent seen it for a while, we have to replay the epic handshake between macron and trump, because its so much better than you even remem...

Before he came to washington and found that many of the pitfalls he has encountered in have echos in the past, namely unchecked spending and ethical lapses. pruitt did in fact meet with a lobbyist whose wife rented him a room on capitol hill for 50 bucks a night. thats cheap here, by the way. over the past few months reporters revealed that pruitt requested $43,000 for a soundproof phone booth. i dont understand, increased his security detail to $3 million a year, regularly flew first class and ...

>> he was superman. still is. >> and devoted. >> you can criticize me, but dont criticize my husband, or youre dead. >> fiercely protective of her husband, but in a way that avoided the pitfalls of some other first ladies who have seemed overly intrusive. >> reporter: his not-so-secret secret weapon. >> she had a foot with the family and a foot in his career. this idea that she was not politically involved is not true. she was there. >> barbara was someone who could tell george what she thought....
