Will Mcgahn News Today

>> some of the witnesses the president would want to call would make the case around the idea perhaps there was collusion. if you will. between the democrats and the whistleblower. maybe calling witnesses to prove the president had a point about the biden connection. those dont have anything to do necessarily with the call or the issues that have been raised. they are issues the republicans have raised and dont think have gotten enough exploration in the proceedings. >> this is trump who wants t...

Got p enough exploration in the proceedings. >> this is trump bho wants the political theater. this is the united states senate. that doesnt. this is mitch mcconnell you tell me he doesnt want the political theater in this. he wants it to fwo go away and get it over with. and do it quietly. they have to figure out the rules. 100 senators got together and agreed on what the rule was going to be quickly. i dont think that will happen this time. they have to come up with some kind of a process here...

Hope hicks along with andy donaldson. mcgahn had been ordered to appear but he skipped the hearing after being directed by president trump to ignore the subpoena. >> president took it upon himself to intimidate a witness who has a legal obligation to be here today. this conduct is not remotely acceptable. let me be clear, this committee will hear will mcgahns testimony, even if we have to go to court to secure it. we will not allow the president to prevent the american people from hearing from t...

It took most of the weekend back easter weekend, i got to read it. so i have been through it. the barr letter syncs up with it fine. and if mr. mueller wants to add to that, he can work out with the white house and with the judiciary committee the details of how he would be questioned and when he would come in to testify. >> its nice to have you to come in, congressman. thanks so much for joining us and thanks for the patience with all the breaking news, as well. ben klein of virginia. up next...

Trump had blamed him, essentially, for the mueller investigation and the cloud that it has cast over the presidency. mcgahn had nothing to do with the appointment of mueller. but he oversaw the white houses office of legal counsel during that time. and it just sort of shows us the frustration that the president still has, and obsession in some ways, with the mueller investigation. we understand this meeting wasnt entirely about that. he did have a lot of positive things to say about mcgahns tenu...

Fired, figure out how to do it. and mcgahn said im not going to do that. and apparently threatened to quit over it. so -- and dont also forget that hes testified at great length before the special counsel. donald trump really doesnt know what he said before the special counsel. and so theyve had this precarious relationship, because he is a key witness in the mueller investigation. and he works in the white house. so im not sure there was a lot of thank you for two supreme court -- successful su...

Anniversary of the battle next october when one thing is certain. the real war will still be raging. nick paton walsh, cnn, bulgaria. >> our thanks to nick payton walsh. follow me on facebook and twitter at jake tapper. our coverage on cnn continues right now. happening now, breaking news. looking for a message. even as a top republican aide accuses the president of screwing up his campaign message with explosive rhetoric on immigration. moments ago, the president doubles down, claiming he cou...

For him or not. and those 20 or 30 hours that we heard, they were done while he was working at the white house. and once mcgahn is gone, he is a threat to the president, because actually, he can talk even more so now, more freely. so this president is very upset with mcgahn. but mcgahn can do what he wants at this point. and the president really, if he could try to unite with mcgahn, that would be the best thing to do, just for his case alone with mueller. >> you know, susan, what do you think o...
