David Gura hosts coverage of national and international news, including breaking stories. Conflicting information from weekend to weekend about what the president may or may not do, david. Geoff, thank you very much. Appreciate it as always. Geoff bennett joining us from the white house. I want to turn to my panel. Joyce, let me start with you. Bearing in mind, youre not an expert on election law, but i want to stick with one point that geoff just raised there about the dangers, the legal dangers of taking a meeting with representatives of a foreign country to offer dirt here on an opposing candidate in a u.

Is not the truth. Is that just misspeaking or part of a campaign of deception . Its time to go deep. Lets get after it. In an on the record interview with reuters, the president says that he could run the probe himself if he wanted.
