From nairobi, if seoul and of course from london. Thanks for getting an early start with us. Im dave briggs. It is friday, january 12th. It is 5 00 a. M. In the east. The president signs a proclamation honoring Martin Luther king day. Neither that proclamation or any amount of stem is likely to quiet comments of racism. This is a man who has mocked a disabled reporter, called mexicans rapists, said a judge could not be fair because of his mexican ancestry. That judge is from indiana. Dont let th...

Revealed who this lawyer attorney burke is representing. Reince priebus, don mcgahn, and steve bannon. There was bound to be a conflict very soon. And here we had it today. And its interesting. Because he was representing priebus and mcgahn for a long time before this. And that alone seemed like a strange potential conflict. Now he is representing bannon as well. One thing to keep in mind here is if there is a conflict of interest, as it relates to the Mueller Investigation and the things that m...

Back in september 2016 he said of course he is qualified. He is the nominee. Would it be the worst thing in the world to have a businessman in office . Now that you have had 12 months of this, you still stand by it . I stand by what i said. You saw on display the meeting he had down at the white house with democrats and republicans on immigration. I think thats the kind of meeting we always have with the president. Im glad the country got a chance to see that. Yeah . Mr. Speaker, does it surpris...

Would even have an interview. Lets bring in the senior White House Correspondent jim acosta. The president saying he sees no reason to have to talk to robert mueller. Very different from what he said earlier last summer. Thats right. Last summer he said he was 100 willing to talk about the russia investigation. That has changed. The president yesterday saying that well, he is not sure whether or not he wants to talk to robert mueller. I did talk to a source from the president s legal team. It sh...

Fact that one of the president s most senior advisors, staff secretary rob porter, had not passed his fbi background check ostensibly because of the inperson testimony from two former spouses who accused him of abuse. And knowing that he did not and was likely never receive a security clearance, why did they leave him in the post . If if the abuse allegations hadnt made the report, was the plan to leave them therein definitely . Heres the second statement on the matter released hours after his i...

Because it was obvious to anyone paying attention that this was a real discrepancy. Democrat ron wyden asking about what the white house knew regarding porters security clearance. Director wray spelled out when they knew it. Heres exactly what he said. The fbi submitted a partial report on the investigation in question in march. And then a completed Background Investigation in late july. That soon there after we received requests for follow up inquiry. And we did the followup. And provided that ...

Relate to the very good. Secretary of state. Im phil gal welcome to the program u. S. President donald trump past societies secretary of state Rex Tillerson the president broke the surprise news on twitter thanking his to tell us and for his service cia director mike pump has been nominated as the new secretary of state and you know hospital is the president s choice to take over at the cia mr trump has been speaking about the changes. Ive worked with mike bomb now for quite some time. Prevent t...

Instead, mueller described trump as a subject of his investigation. As legal experts say, there can be a fine line however between a target and subject of an investigation. A target is at immediate risk of being indicted. I subject is someone whose conduct is colorliened investigation. Saying trump is not a target makes sense for two potential reasons. One, Robert Mueller isnt ready to indict him or two, mueller doesnt believe he can indict a president while in office. It does not say hes not in...

At, presumably muellers lawyers will pursue that and try to, you know, if it ever comes to any future Court Proceedings or whatever, that will then become an issue. They could push this thing. It isnt something that gets litigated in the press. But for the life of me, i cant figure out why Rod Rosenstein isnt recused from an investigation in which he is likely a witness. And i cant figure out how this one lawyer can represent three people who are on three different sides of some of these importa...

In for chris hayes, im joy reid. I happen to be an american citizen. I was born in brooklyn, new york, and raised in denver, colorado. But my parents were immigrants.
