Much different than it did before. As President Trump took in cable News Coverage this weekend, he watched as new threats came barrelling toward him in real time. First there was joe biden the Democratic Front runner kicking off his campaign in philadelphia, casting himself as the partys best chance of defeating the president in november. New polling suggests for now that may be true. In pennsylvania where the president will hold a rally of his own tomorrow, shows biden leading by double digits. And then there was justin amash who became the first to call for President Trumps treatment. And then deutsch bank staffers flagging suspicious transactions. If this president loves fights as much as he claims to, then this was truly an ideal weekend. Id like to welcome my panel, reporter for the New York Times jeremy peters. Former press secretary to Mitch Mcconnell antonia ferria. Thank you all for being here. It has been a busy weekend, if you are the president of the United States, which is
Begin on capitol hill where there are actually new steps towards an impeachment probe. Now, that is not what the conventional wisdom held would happen when special Counsel Robert Mueller finished testifying wednesday but now as the weekends, the numbers of Democratic Congress members backing an impeachment probe has grown as the chairman who would lead, jerry nadler is formally invoking the i word in a count. Five House Democrats have stepped out in favor of an impeachment inquiry, including congresswoman Katherine Clark of massachusetts, a member of the house leadership, and the highest ranking democrat to publicly take this stance. Then you have three more House Democrats today announcing support for an impeachment inquiry. Annie custer, chris pompous of new hampshire, and mike eleven of california. You that i can that together, and now you have about a hundred democrats backing some kind of impeachment probe. That is the raw tally. The political nose counting context of this, and fo
Gained access to irs transcripts. Mr. Trump spent a decade in the red. To quote the report. Mr. Trump was propelled to the presidency, in part, by his selfspun narrative of Business Success and setbacks triup fantly overcome. Hes attributed his first run bankruptcies to the recession that took hold in 1990. But ten years of Tax Information obtained by the New York Times paints a different, and far bleeker picture. The picture painted of the president in the New York Times is a far cry from the master deal maker mr. Trump held himself out as. From the moment hes been in the public eye. And it is a far cry from the image mr. Trump portrayed to his supporters from the day he announced his run for presidency. Take a look at that. We need a truly great leader now. We need a leader that wrote the art of the deal. All of my life ive heard that a truly successful person, a really really successful person and even modestly successful cannot run for public office. Just cant happen. Im really ric
That hearing at the house Judiciary Committee. He would have been, he was scheduled to and now democrats are talking about the possibility of a subpoena, though nor the moment theyre focused on getting the fully unredacted Mueller Report without any of the redactions that were made and crucially with all of the underlying evidence, inste spent the day defending how he handled this is barr released and summarized that report not only against attacks from democrats but also a letter from the special counsel himself saying that he mischaracterized the special counsels findings. Manu raju is outside that house hearing. Barr is not there, he was meant to be the main attraction, so what happens today without him in the chair . Reporter democrats are going to make their objections known very clearly here. They are furious on multiple accounts with the Justice Department, not just the attorney general for refusing to show up, there is an empty chair right now in this room with a placard that s
405 freeway near the getty center here in los angeles and one of the reasons this is so concerning is that, one, Southern California had already been dealing with another wildfire, the cook fire, burning over the course of the past few days, but also that theres not any nature isnt doing these fires any favors as far as getting put out. We saw 70 to 80mileperhour winds over the course of yesterday in this area which as you know can spread these embers and start fires miles away from where they were burning in the first place and were expecting some of the winds to continue into today and then around midway through this, another uptick in high winds as well. As far as that goes, thats one thing that is very concerning for officials as you see a fire like this break out so quickly and powerful just in a matter of minutes really in the overnight hours here. Okay. Omar, thank you very much for that report. Please stay on this. This is from a little while. You can sees the helicopter dumpin
