MSNBCW First Look April 5, 2019

True. Good morning, everyone, it is friday, april 5th. Im Ayman Mohyeldin alongside Yasmin Vossoughian. Congressional democrats have formally responded to the reports that special counsel Robert Muellers investigators were frustrated that attorney general William Barrs public letter on the report excluded damaging information about President Trump. An official telling the Washington Post that summaries were prepared for different sections of the report with a view that they could be made public and two people telling post that barr not releasing them have disappointed team members. In a letter, chairman Jerrold Nadler demanded Immediate Release of the mueller team summaries. Quote you have already provided an interpretation of the special counsels conclusions in a fashion that appears to minimize the implications of the report. Releasing the summaries without delay would begin to allow the American People to judge the facts for themselves. Yesterday the Justice Department did not deny the existence of the special counsel summaries only that Robert Mueller labelled them as off limits. A doj spokeswoman stating quote every page of the confidential report provided to attorney general barr on march 22nd was marked macon taken material protected under federal rule 6e. Thats a law that protects confidential grand jury information and could not be publicly released. In light of the report, chairman nadlers letter indicated all communications between the special Counsel Office regarding the report. They disputed the word summary saying attorney general barr released to release the bottom line findings and concluings without an attempt to summarize the report with an understanding that the report would be released after the department made its redactions. Chairman nadler newly authorized to subpoena the full report said barrs primary isnt it to protect trump. I said that barr is an agent of the president. He was put there for that purpose. Sessions was fired because he wouldnt protect the president personally. Comey was fired because he wouldnt protect the president personally. The president said who is going to protect me personally not look out for tint of the country and they found barr. Whats the timeline on the issuance of the subpoena . Very short order. Beyond that i wont describe it. President trump is heading to americas southern border over threats of illegal immigration into the United States. Its been quite a week on that front beginning last friday. If they dont top them were closing the border. Well close it. And keep. It closed for a long time. Im not playing games. Theres a likelihood ill close the border next week. It certainly isnt a bluff. You can take the president seriously. If we dont make a deal with congress, the border is going to be closed. 100 . Sure, its going to have a negative impact on the economy. Frankly Something Better less drastic tariff the cars coming in. Ill do it. I dont play games. Were going to give them a one year warning and if the drugs dont stop or largely stop, were going to put tariffs on mexico and products in particular cars. The whole ball game is cars. Its the big ball game. With many countries its cars. And if that doesnt stop the drugs, we close the border. We will put tariffs on, if they dont apprehend, and ultimately were going to give it a period of time, but if in a year from now, drugs continue to pour in, were going to put tariffs on. So its a year . No well start with the tariffs and see what happens. So a major new study illustrates the devastating effects trumps tariffs are having on the u. S. Economy as American Consumers bear the brunt of price increases not actually the Foreign Companies hes trying to target as President Trump claims. Former Vice President joe biden will speak later this morning at a Union Conference in washington, d. C. His first public appearance since multiple women made complaints about their discomfort about the way he touched them at events over the years. Yesterday President Trump tweeted a video mocking bidens statement where he pledged to be mindful of personal space. Taking the video and super imposing a photo of biden holding the shoulders of stephanie carter. Biden responded to trump i see youre on the job and president ial as always. In scranton, pennsylvania, spotted biden yesterday outside of the former Vice President s childhood home with a film crew. Sources say he was there to film a video but no word yet on official campaign launch. Joining us now from welsh, politico Daniel Littman coauthor of the politico playbook. Daniel, good to talk to you once again. We talk to him all the time. Get your take on this video and the way President Trump went after biden. Two adults on twitter. Two grown men. I dont think that this is probably the smartest move for the president because, you know, hes been accused of stuff thats way worse than what biden allegedly did. So, you know, for women watching this video, that trump doctored the president of the United States is doctoring a video and putting on twitter on his official account it just doesnt seem like it strikes the right tone and that trump should want to talk about other things. Whats interesting is that he doesnt actually condemn the behavior of any of these me too men, you know, al franken, joe biden, its more about oh, they look weak, or they are forced to apologize. Not hey they should have acted better. Its more mocking their response to all of it. Good point. Let me get your thoughts about how all of this, the revelations, some of these claims made by the women over the past several days, speaking out against the former Vice President are going to impact his 2020 Campaign Roll out . Well, obviously, its disrupted it horribly for the former Vice President. But i think that it indicates that he should have gotten in earlier so he had a Proper Campaign apparatus instead of using one spokesman who is left to bear the brunt of tons of Media Inquiries and joe biden has not been on tv. Im sure you would welcome him on your show. Gladly. He needs to respond any time. He needs to get out there to set his own narrative, and the fact that hes letting other candidates kind of pile on and say well i believe the women, that has made it much harder for him to really respond. You bring up a Campaign Apparatus or lack thereof and i wonder maybe thats one of the reasons why he hasnt gotten into the race quite yet. When youre someone like a former Vice President joe biden you cant necessarily roll out your campaign without everything in place. Its not like beto orourke who is new to the scene. No. You need the Proper Campaign manager and communications folks and logistics. But i think he still wants to get in. He views himself as one of the unique candidates who can actually fight back against trump pretty well. But, you know, hes always had these type much controversies when he has run. Remember a couple of times ago he plagiarized speeches and said not everything has to be attributed. He clearly is trying to find his way about in this very crowded el preview of the twitter wars to come in the 2020 campaign. This is just the my friend. Well talk to you again in just a little bit. Theres been a stunning result in the case of a man who claimed to be Timothy Pitzen who went missing as a child eight years ago after his mother was found dead in an Illinois Hotel room. Dna tests show thats true and investigators are calling it a painful hoax. Reporter 24 hours after getting word that Timothy Pitzen who has been missing for eight years might have been found heartbreaking news for his family. Devastating. Its like reliving that day all over again. Reporter the fbi says a dna test proved a person who showed up in a kentucky neighborhood is not timothy. Hes 23yearold Brian Michael renny and has a criminal record including serving time for burglarier and vandalism in ohio. The family disappointed but not angry. They have dealt with false sightings before. I would reserve all judgment and pray for the young man involved. Reporter timothy disappeared in 2011 from aurora, illinois. His mom took him out of school early. Her body was found three days later in an apparent suicide. We have this child who said he ran way. Reporter the person told him he escaped from two men who had been holding him for two years. Back in timothys hometown his bike sits at a neighbors house given by his dad to a family of a boy he played with. This was the timothys house, his playground. Reporter jacqueline lives in the house that timothy once called home. I had hoped one day hell pass by and say that was my playground. Reporter now the question why would anyone impersonate a missing child. We know youre out there somewhere, tim. We will never stop looking for you. Praying for you. And loving you. Completely heartbreaking. So our thanks to ron mott.

Cains nomination follow plans to nominate Stephen Moore to the Federal Reserve board. Moores nomination has been clouded by revelations of current tax lien and Child Support allegations. The administration granted waivers to 6 of the applicants during the ban. The Trump Administration has argued that the waivers are proof that the policy was not aimless but needed to protect National Security. In its june 2018 ruling upholding one of the administrations revised versions of the ban the Supreme Court cited the Waiver Program to support the governments stance that it served a legitimate National Security interest. In a entertainment to reuters democratic senator Chris Van Hollen says this data paints a clear and deeply disturbing picture of the trump travel ban.
