A look at the days news and headlines. Manafort into paying his American Express bill and may have fraudulently submitted personal expenses to be paid by the trump inaugural committee. The defense team says they exposed him as unreliable. After all the laws youve told you expect this jury to believe you . Gates said im here to tell the truth and take responsibility for my actions. Mr. Manafort had the same path. I am trying to change. He says if there are charges of financial funny businessman fort always knew where the money was. The judge jumped in to say manafort wasnt that great knowing where his money was if gates was able to steal as much as he was admitted to stealing. Gates was told that the Manafort Defense Team will have at least another hours worth of questioning for him this morning starting at 9 30 local
time. We dont know who the mueller teams next witness would be that they might call. We know they plan to wrap up their case, rest their case sometime this week. Sandra. Sandra well look for that to begin a few minutes from now. Bill new developments in the mueller matter. Sources confirming that President Trumps legal team is getting ready to prepare a response for the request for an interview. It may come as soon as today. President trumps lead attorney saying they havent turned down muellers request saying everything is negotiation. Here is jay sekulow last night. Clearly the inclination is no. I could put 100 lawyers of them in the room and 100 will say that. Ultimately the decision is up to the president. There are ongoing discussions to see if there could be something worked out here. Bill here to analyze byron york. Stack it up for us. Trump wants to talk but his
an interview forward. The article 2 power of the presidency is very clear. The idea that you would have a series of questions involving the president s motives for particular actions as it relates to article 2 power would frankly be inappropriate in our view, unconstitutional. Bill we bring that up again not because its a new point but a point they emphasize. It may be something that trump a Counter Proposal to mueller in the sense of dividing the whole thing up into two subject areas. The president might be willing to talk about the allegations of collusion during the campaign, that is before he became president. But not be willing to talk about these allegations of obstruction after he became president for what jay sekulow was talking about, article 2 powers of the presidency that some things that the president does would be privileged and others are just legitimate exercises of Executive Power that the trump team does not
feel mueller can question. Bill one more point. Lurking in the backward is the trial of Paul Manafort. How does it figure into a decision . It seems hard to believe the president would give an answer before the end of the manafort trial. A lot of people think the government has the strong case against manafort. What if he is acquitted . What if there is a hung jury . A number of people have said it would be a huge blow to the mueller investigation. Certainly republican calls for him to close it down would increase and the president would perhaps have more leverage in this political fight that he is waging against the special counsels office. Bill the only catch on that is you have another trial waiting for you, win or lose on the one in virginia, you have one in d. C. , right . That is true. He has different charges in the district of columbia with a more friendly judge and jury. On the other hand, if mueller were to lose his first trip out, that would be very, very
tough for him. Bill nice to see you in washington, d. C. Much to watch today. Some days you need a flow chart, right . Sandra how are you doing so far, bill . Bill awesome.

The two deadlocked with kobach

Obviously President Trump is somebody who makes a difference in elections with the candidates that he endorsed in michigan where i am, john james catapulted to victory because of President Trumps support. Bill schuette, josh hawley, the close race in kansas and ohio 12. President trump came in, did a rally in Delaware County, The Key County Last Night and it put Troy BaldersonOver The Edge and we won last night in that strict. Bill lets talk about ohio 12. The district the president card carried by 12 points. Why this close . Thats a really tough comparison. When President Trump won 377,000 voters turned out. It was a president ial year. Compare that to a special election in august a week before school starts. Just isnt fair. So only 200,000 voters turned out last night. It was about ground game and turning ot your vote. Republicans turned out and complacency is the thing were most concerned about as a party. We have the white house, house, senate u our economy is doing well. We have to wake up our voters to know they have to fight for the comeback. Bill the democrats will say the visit caused their supporters to come out. Youll take the other side of that. Do you think the visit of saturday kept this close . The visit on saturday is why we won. We saw what was happening in the early vote and through the data we needed to get our electorate engaged and energized and when President Trump went in on saturday to Delaware County where we won, the key county. Our data and targeting rnc on the ground made 1 million voter
contacts. We know most of these Absentee Ballots are republican. We feel very good about this victory. But absolutely President Trump is the an et dote to republican complacency. When he comes and says lets look at the results of my presidency. The economy is doing. Unemployment is down. We have more money. I need more republicans in washington so we can do that. The democrats are doubling down in obstruct and resist. Bill we have a threemonth sprint to figure it out. You look at the Rural Counties of ohio that President Trump carried by large margins. The republican did very well but two points lower in each area. If you look at pennsylvania 18 from back in may, the outcome showed us that those who voted for President Trump in 2016, a good number of them did not turn out to vote in pennsylvania during that special election. It might be the same story in ohio. The point being, turnout is critical but if you arent
getting the same levels of support from 2016, the midterms could be really tough for the rnc and republicans in washington i again caution putting president ial level turnout on special elections because special elections are just so different. You cant really compare them. It is apples to oranges. When you have 307,000 people turning out in 2016 and 200,000 Last Night There will be a dropoff in voting and that percentage will be different than a president ial year. The bottom line is we won last night. We won the majority of these specials. Look at arizona, montana, georgia, and the media descends on these races and give a Home Court Advantage to the democrats because they get outside attention and funding. That wont be the case in november when were battling across the country. I feel very good going into the midterms especially with the cash advantage and the Infrastructure Advantage the rnc has put in place. Bill you spent a lot of
place in that district in ohio. If President Trump is the key to victory you will wear this guy out. He will have to have a rally everywhere between now and november 6. Have you seen him . He wears everyone around him out. He is nonstop. He loves this. He knows what is at stake. He is willing to get out and help the candidates and Troy Balderson is very happy that the president came in and did a rally for him. John james is happy today. Josh hawley, bill schuette. The president is a Difference Maker and turns out our base. Bill hope you come back. There is a lot to go through. A lot of analysis in the coming days based on last night. Thank you very much.
