>> thank you. >> "the guardian" reporting a paul manafort meeting with julian ado you thissange, hes , do you believe him? >> i have difficulty believing anything manafort says. i think theres high probability paul will never be released from a federal penitentiary. convicted by a jury of his peers, hes pled to a series of other crimes, all of which took place prior to him coming to the trump organization. >> lets turn from law to politics. you ran a campaign for a while that was thought to be a...

That too. >> right. >> so all this stuff will be revealed. i think in muellers sweet time. >> wasnt it ll cool j who said, youre lying about the lies that youre telling? >> thats exactly what he said. >> i didnt mean to take it words right out of your mouth, david. >> they were his words. >> so true. ive got to fit in a break. i just have to. we have so much more news. my special thanks to anna scheckter, david cornyn, malcolm nance. manafort on the hook for these new crimes. was he trying to ...

Lie. whats really interesting here, according to the e-mails that anna revealed in this story, is that in late july or early august, stone is trying to get corsi to get to assange to get access to or figure out what he has regarding e-mails from hillary clinton or from the dnc. and why does he want to do that? and what happens when he finds out that assange does have something, corsi does report back to him, and then where did he take it from there? so this story complicates stones "i was a big ...

Interview he did with "the washington post." heres a little more context for the "guardian" report. manafort would have been taking this newly reported wikileaks right around the time he joined the campaign as a veteran strategist lauded to come and bring some order heading into the convention. >> lets talk now with donald trumps newly minted convention manager, paul manafort. this is not manaforts first rodeo. he is a veteran political strategist. >> heres another reason this story is so explos...

Every day. perhaps today on giving tuesday we can all fill our hearts. well be back tomorrow with more "mtb daily." "the beat with ari melber" starts right now. a possible break in bob muellers collusion investigation. "the guardian" reporting manafort, the former trump campaign chair, met with julian assange in the middle of the 2016 campaign. one of the top democrats investigation, incoming judiciary chairman jerry nadler, joins me. later, we have a deeper report on how mueller busted mana...

This alleged meeting which was exactly around the time manafort joined trumps campaign, spring 2016. a source saying all of this went down around march, the very month when manafort started working for trump. the source is telling "the guardian" the key meeting lasted 40 minutes and they have detailsic like that he was dressed in chinos, a cardigan, and a light shirt. adding to the intrigue, manafort wasnt logged at the embassy, breaking protocol. tonight paul manafort is denying this story. i c...

In a very serious criminal conspiracy against the united states with a foreign power. >> and what is your view of bob mueller making these filings yesterday, blowing up paul manaforts plea deal and saying he continued to lie to mueller? why would paul manafort do that, and in your view, again, in oversight from the congress, does that raise for you questions about what exposure other people or the white house has on this? >> well, it raises a lot of questions. why manafort would have done that o...

Julian assange. >> looks a little different now. on that same show, both manafort and assange talked all about the russian hacks. >> does it not also matter if a foreign government wants to take part in our election, do you condemn that? >> of course we condemn that. thats not the issue at all. mr. trump was making the point that isnt it ironic 33,000 e-mails that our fbi cant have are sitting probably in the vaults of foreign countries. >> if a foreign government is involved, isnt that crucial ...

We could proceed to an indictment. >> what do you make of that in light of this? >> yeah, incredibly significant. just three days after the trump tower meeting, julian assange is going public saying he has this information. so if you assume that a legal corrupt deal was struck during the trump tower meeting, a promise for the russians to give dirt on hillary in exchange for a promise from trump that he will reduce or eliminate sanctions on the russians should he be elected, then you figure trump...

Cooperation agreement like that for the prosecute tore say, youre lying, were not going to do it. >> there are other experts who says, mueller does lose something, potentially. >> he loses something but youve got to go before a judge and convince a judge that what you did was proper and is provable. which bottom line is, muellers got the evidence of conspiracy here between the trump campaign and the russian government. that is the big headline from yesterdays news. >> you distill it so well for ...
