Administration. Robert mueller was a reluctant witness, and it showed. It was a long day on capitol hill seven hours from start to finish. The 89th and 90th congressional hearings in his lifetime of Public Service and likely his last. By the end of the day he said everything the democrats were trying to prove. Its not a witch hunt. It was not a hoax. He could not clear the president. And the russians are interfering in our election process right now. But declarative sentences were hard to find. He fouled off close to 200 questions with either no answer or a deflection. And the issue everyone has been dancing around all day, hes older now. Two weeks shy of 75. And while a presence still, not the commanding presence that so many remembered and had hoped for. There was a new and somewhat arresting frailty to him. At times words failed him. The tempo outpaced him. Page numbers and citations eluded him. For his part the president immediately declared victory, called it all a witch hunt and
It found all 50 states were targeted, largely undetected by state and federal officials. Much more on this just ahead. Just today, the Senate Republican leader blocked Election Security legislation one day after Robert Muellers warning that russia, of course, is still meddling in our elections and will continue to in 2020. But his statements about the russian threat have faded somewhat amid the palpable disappointment among democrats at muellers presence and the lack of impact from his halting testimony. New york times put it this way. The absence of an electrifying washington moment in wednesdays twostage testimony by mr. Mueller not only deprived democrats of the crystalizing episode they needed to drive the issue of impeachment, but it also meant republicans had no reason to budge from their antiimpeachment stance. Members of congress, indeed, left washington for a sixweek recess, beginning a day earlier than usual. That would be the opposite of impeachment proceedings getting under
Good evening, once again from our nbc news headquarters, day 39 of the Trump Administration. It brings a new development tonight in the president s attempts to overhaul the leadership of the nations 17 intelligence agencies it goes without saying this comes at a critical time this week when domestic terrorism is top of mind. Tonight, trump confirmed that sue gordon, the career professional deputy to the outgoing dni, director of national intelligence, dan coats is stepping down. Tonight and somewhat tellingly, she released a handwritten later on top of her official letter of resignation. It was a letter to the president and it reads quote, mr. President , i offer this letter as an act of respect and patriotism, not reference. You should have your team, god speed, sue. Now, both gordon and her boss are leaving august 15th, a week from today, and they take their institutional history with them, of course. Trump also used social media tonight to say the new acting dni is joseph mcguire, t
500,000 worth of diamonds before he left. Where did the diamonds go . With him i suppose. And who was this wealthy man of mystery, now living in the italian alps . I dont think they have any idea whats going to happen. It had all the makings of a perfect fantasy, the perfect husband away with his perfect wife for her 30th birthday in the pictureperfect greek islands. The weather was perfect, the accommodations aboard their private fullystaffed 80foot yacht perfect. It was late september 2004, and with her mother and a few close girlfriends along to help the couple celebrate, Michelle Weinberger had every reason to believe she was living a perfectly charmed life with the man of her dreams. Then, as if suddenly doused with cold water, her dream ended. When i woke up in the morning at 7 00 a. M. With a horrible feeling in my stomach, he wasnt there next to me. And i put my hand on his side of the bed and i remember feeling it empty. Michelle says she darted from the bed and ran around the
