Because the attorney general doesnt agree with him and does recuse himself, doesnt make it obstructionist behavior. but it does speak to the presidents state of mind about the russia investigation and how concerned he was about how much mueller might do damage to his presidency and that he needed as they say in the "new york times" article, a roy coen, someone to protect him from mueller. hes concerned about mueller but cant get his attorney general not to obey the law. good for sessions, bad lu...

It was to say heres per se something that has been asked before. we didnt get -- we only got to the fourth amendment there and at that time he remembered. besides running for president, he was running his business. so im not criticizing michael. i like michael. a political book, i believe its not nonfiction, but on the other hand, they use puffery and try to create a narrative. >> so you did get as far as the fourth amendment. you dont know his motive for becoming disinterested. >> he had a ton ...

Corroborating his. >> sean spicer denied his, mick mulvaney denied his, so i just want to know where it stops because its pretty obvious that there are many discrepancies. this is full of false information, inaccuracies, and quite frankly this author is quite frankly a crackpot, fake news fantasy fiction writer and its been proven time and time again. by his own admission he says hes loose with the facts and journalists say thats his reputation. so lets not run this wall to wall on cnn saying it...

Including within that at least two dozen requests of him asking to have an interview with the president, which he never did. >> wolff, though, said he had extraordinary access to trump. he said he was able to take up something like a semi-permanent seat on a couch in the west wing, an idea wolff claims was encouraged by the president himself. wolff says he conducted over 200 interviews over 18 months, says he has tapes and says those interviews include the president himself and most members of t...

This election. i i think hes a man of historic proportions. one of the things he took a quote out of context was hes going to be the most famous man in the world. i support his re-election and hope to be able to donate to him in 2020. my point is anything i told michael, the point was this guy is a very unique, interesting guy. youre not going to see this. the same way youre not going to see another barack obama, youre not going to see another donald trump in the oval office. >> thank you very m...

>> not just a friend, just a good guy, a friend for a very long time. thats what the president said. and the two of course do seem particularly close in photo after photo. here they are greeting the tesla ceo, elon musk, in the state dining room as trump signs an executive order about the oil pipeline industry. and this, trump speaking on the phone with vladimir putin, and who is there? steve bannon. and then when they worked together in the white house, check this out, their offices, steps apar...

This is very, very different. this is as matthew said earlier, about the presidents fundamental fitness to serve as president. no one on either side of the fights in the clinton days or frankly the reagan days or bush days, when there was always a war for the soul of the presidency, we have never seen a white house where the senior most officials believe that the president is unfit to serve and thats what this book is telling us. >> to that point, mary katherine, it is the central argument that ...

Family that makes the trump white house feel more like a reality show than ever. >> it describes ivanka trump as having her own presidential ambitions and a secret pact with husband jared kushner. author michael wolff writes between themselves the two had made an earnest deal if sometime in the future the opportunity arose, shed be the run to run for president. >> however donald and milania trump had no intention of moving to the white house, the book describes the realization he won the white h...

Stephanie gresham issued a statement pushing back on the wolff book too saying it is clearly going to be sold in the bargain fiction section. mrs. trump supported her husbands decision to run for president and encouraged him to do so. she was confident he would win and was very happy when he did. so clearly, the east wing echoing sarah sanders today and the west wing saying this isnt true, its fiction, its fantasy, et cetera, you know, election night happened. melania is first lady, and so were ...

Yeah. i think all reporters here, you dont tend to hear it on the record as its presented in wolffs book. but look, wolff, was a fairly regular fixture in the white house. it was no secret that he was writing this book and talking to senior advisers, not just bannon, all of them. mr. quoted in the excerpts, i expect theyll be quoted in the book as well. but they were cooperating with this book because they thought that wolf was going to offer a positive portrayal of trump in his presidency. and ...
