saying i m joined now by ken delaney and ely stokeles. ken, let s just pick up that line from the fusion gps op-ed from the new york times i just read there. at the very end of that line, i saw when this went up last night caused quite a bit of commotion. when they re saying a source inside the trump campaign, some people were thinking that there s a trump campaign mole who is talking there. what do you know about that? that s right, steve. i got all excited, as well. it turns out that was a sly reference to george papadopoulos, who did ultimately begin giving the fbi inside information about the trump about what happened during the
blow by blow, as information has come out and the special counsel has indicted people close to this president. the white house hasn t anticipated or gotten forewarning about this. so that creates a lot of nervousness, not knowing when the next shoe is going to drop. this michael wolff book also has the legal team of the president saying he believed the meeting on air force one represented an obstruction of justice. ken, a spokesman for the legal team saying that apparently. what do you make of that? it seems pretty damning, steve. we don t know the full facts there, but we do know that what donald trump instructed his son to say about that trump tower meeting, that it was about russian adoption of russian children and that was not accurate that. is a central question for robert mueller in terms of obstruction of justice. while there s no evidence that donald trump knew about the trump tower meeting when it was
he s been arguing for a long time for the legal team to get a whole lot tougher. i think you heard residents of that, in that quote you just talked about, steve. yeah, that s a very good segue to where we re going to be going next in this show. kristen, peter, heidi, thanks to all of you for joining us. coming up, more revelations from bannon about the russia investigation and where that might be going. bannon talks about money laundering saying the path to the president goes through paul manafort, jared kushner, and donald trump, jr. all this comes as the leaders of fusion gps, the opposition research firm that commissioned this dossier, are speaking out about what triggered the probe into trump and russia. plus, trump boasts his nuclear button is bigger and more powerful than kim jong-un is the latest example of loose talk about nuclear war from the president. much more from the new book on the trump white house, inclugd ivanka trump s political ambitions. remember when mit
what they say as it translates to a $4,000 pay raise over 8 years. now relies on a lot of assumptions. that s what they say. what steve bannon say, the former chief strategist says this is war. this is an interesting needle the president s trying to thread. he spoke to bannon several times. lindsey graham acknowledged that war. here s how important it is to the gop. it s a system mptom of a gre problem. we re going to lose across the board in 2018. all of my colleagues in h 2018 will probably get beat. so this is a symptom of greater problem. it doesn t matter what they do because we ll win. is he right? i think he is right to affirm
what bannon said. bannon has been accused of being at war almost single handedly. what he said is us, it s the voters and bannon against the establishment. so the realitisy feel like people like graham realize they don t have to prove something to bannon as much as the people who sent trump to the white house who now believe that perhaps what the establishment republicans are putting forward hasn t been in the best interest of the meamerican people. how close do we think the president is with bannon. i ready and article that says he calls bannon when john kelly isn t around. it s interesting. trying to make a deal with mitch mcconnell and going to war with the gop establishment. how do you straddle that? let s talk about health care and susan collins out there with
