is getting another boost from the president. reporter: they are and the moore campaign in contrast to the jones campaign has actually remained relatively silent over the course of this weekend. that is in part due to the fact that moore may feel like he is more comfortable b
like to be on the white house staff. got to watch twitter to see what people are going to do. you were in, you were around when the colin kaepernick protests were going on when he was playing for the 49ers. what did you think then about that? i fully supported his right to speak out. i thought he made some mistakes, some big mistakes early. he wore the socks. remember the socks that were pigs in policemen ewan forps. he didn t have a clear message at first. but i supported his right to protest and i think what he did was really admirable. he went out and sought the advice of a man named nate boyer, a former player with a seahawks. a military veteran, who gave kaepernick the advice to kneel. he said in stead of sitting on the bench, kneel. it s also a sign of respect. if you think about you bow in front of somebody. and so this was the advice kaepernick sought out. he sort of refined his message, saying i thought things had made
more sense in terms of clarifying what he was protest

i had an aide next to my ear nearly screaming within the last several minutes when the president was with the italian president in the oval office but it s an example of just how hard they are trying to keep reporters from asking the president questions. obviously they can t be do that in the news conference coming p up. you may see the president with the investigation, the president may be tempted to call on somebody in the friendly conservative media to lob a softball at him. we ve seen him try to do that before, wolf. it s one of these q&a questions. two questions from american questions, two questions from italian journalists, is that right? that s right. obviously the president at some of these two plus twos, one thing that we ve noticed is at the very end of it, this happened at checkers with

their way to keep trump out of the trial. abc news reports that prosecutors have been coaching their witnesses not to mention trump s name or even that manafort lives in trump tower. the judge in the case has warned that bringing up manafort s ties to trump could unduly influence jurors. there is at least one thing about this trial that is important to the relationship between paul manafort and donald trump. the first witness today was tad devine, chief strategist for bernie sanders an presidential campaign who worked with manafort on political campaigns in ukraine. the prosecution called him as their first witness to have him describe how much work manafort was doing in ukraine and how lucrative it was. before we came on the air, we got a rush version of the transcript from today s hearing. i m not going to be able to act out a whole conversation but here s one little bit of the prosecutor s opening statement wort
