Good morning, everybody. It is tuesday, june 4th. Im Yasmin Vossoughian alongside nbc News White House correspondent jeff bennett pep were starting with President Trump in london on the second dave his three day state visit in the uk. While yesterday of mostly pomp and ceremony with the royal family, today is more business and politics. The president is currently participating in a Business Roundtable event at st. James place along with the duke of york and an array of u. S. And uk business leaders. The event is cohosted by Prime Minister theresa may who is resigning on friday over the state of brexit which trump controversially heavily criticized may for in the British Press days ago. When that wraps up trump and hey will head to downing street for the bilateral meeting followed by a joint News Conference. Last night trump took part in the first state banquet hosted for an american president since 2011. Queen elizabeth made a subtle criticism of President Trumps America First platform. As we face the new challenges of the 21st century, the anniversary of dday reminds us of all that our countries have achieved together. After the shared sacrifices of the second world war, britain and the United States worked with other allies to build an assembly of International Institutions, to ensure that the horrors of conflict would never be repeated. What in the world has changed . We are forever mindful of the original purpose of these structures. Nations working together to safeguard our hard won peace. Keeping with the queens remarks, Prime Minister theresa may is unscoring the importance ever not only the special relationship between the u. S. And uk, but International Institutions as well, which President Trump often derides. She gifted the president a framed tight script draft of the atlantic charter, the declaration signed by Winston Churchill and president roosevelt in 1941 which set out common goals for the world and helped lay the ground work for the United Nations and the world trade organization. First Lady Melania Trump was given a tea set. Earlier in the day Queen Elizabeth gifted trump a First Addition of Winston Churchill the world war. President trump is very unpopular in the united kingdom, as one group of protesters was able to show. The activist group led by donkeys projected president obama and President Trump in stark contrast on to the uks tower of london. It turned madam tou srussauds today larger and more vocal protests are expected, including one led by Labor Party LeaderJeremy Corbyn. And you see the infamous baby trump blimp is ready to make a show outside of parliament. Joining us now is richard engel. Richard, good morning to you. Thank you for joining us on authenticityingly enough, Jeremy Corbyn leading one of the protests today. We heard a couple of days ago the president said if Jeremy Corbyn were to become Prime Minister he would actually not want to share intelligence with Jeremy Corbyn. Despite that and other insults President Trump has laid into in the last couple of days, it appears yesterday went off without an international incident. Reporter so, im here in Trafalgar Square. Protests are just starting to gather. Protesters could be in the tens of thousands over the course of the day. The trump baby blimp is just a few blocks away in parliament square. Theres another feature here which is a centerpiece, a robotic statue of President Trump on a golden commode. It speaks and says some of his signature catch phrases like youre fake news and no collusion. President trump is an object of ridicule here and if this protest is anything like the one almost a year ago in Downtown London it will be a carnivallike atmosphere. The issues here are quite serious. This country is going through a tremendous political transition. President trump will meet with Prime Minister theresa may who is leaving office just at the end of this week, so President Trump is coming here, he had the formal portion much his reception yesterday meeting the royals, having the dinner banquet with the queen. Today a much more political day with bigger protest, much more room for the president to get into trouble and to wade into politics that has so often upset the british people. Richard, while we see obviously trump on that golden throne, we see an individual who seems hes a trump supporter. He has a trump 2020 tshirt on as well. Im wonder if youre seeing more of that as well. He also has an israeli flag. Reporter not really. Hes one guy. He was around yesterday as well finding all the cameras, putting himself in. He was carrying a giant american flag. I dont think well see very large counter trump, pro trump protests today. This one individual, he was here yesterday as well. I think youll see him a lot in front of the cameras. But certainly outnumbered. He knows how to strategically position himself. Star witness in watergate will return to capitol hill as democrats consider the path forward an impeachment proceedings against President Trump. The House Judiciary Committee will call john dean to testify as part pachbl on the Mueller Report which chronicled the pressure that President Trump put on his own white House Counsel don mcgahn. 46 years ago this month dean appeared before the Senate Watergate committee where he read a 245 page statement, alleging the Nixon White House obstructed justice over the break in at democratic nags head kwaurs and his discovery that president nixon was involved in the coverup. I began by telling the president that there was a cancer growing on the presidency. And if the cancer was not removed the president himself would be killed by it. I also told him that it was important that this cancer be removed immediately because it was growing more deadly every day. The meeting with the president that afternoon was a tremendous disappointment to me because it was quite clear the cover up as far as the white house was concerned was going to continue. Dean is set to appear on a panel this monday alongside former u. S. Attorneys and legal experts to discuss the obstruction of justice allegations in the Mueller Report which is part of the strategy to shift focus from o procedural battles. Most persons dont understand executive privilege or contempt. Demonstrate want to shift the focus on what they see as the more damning reports. They want americans to see the content. A key witness in bob muellers russian probe has been arrested. George nader was taken into custody when he arrived at Jfk International airport on child pornography charges. Those charges stem from a complaint against nader on materials seized from him when he arrived at washington duls international airport. He was charged with transporting child pornography. Nader has been questioned by muellers team in arranging a meeting between erik prince and betsy devos brother and the head of russias Sovereign Wealth Fund and close associate of russian president putin. He had been charged with transporting child pornography back in 1991. He pled guilty but his sentence was reduced after the court was told he played a role to free u. S. Hostages in leb bone. Pete buttigieg said democrats were too quick to attack al franken. Should al franken be pushed from the senate it was his decision to make. The way that we basically held him to a higher standard than gop does their people has been used against us. Do you think he should have been pushed to leave . Again, it was his decision. Im not asking about his decision. Should the other members of the Democratic Caucus in the senate starting at the top, Chuck Schumer down and the other people who pushed him to get out, were they right or wrong . I think its not a bad thing we hold ourselves to a higher standard. Were they right to push him out of the senate. I would not have applied that pressure at that time. Senator kirsten gillebrands name was not invoked her communication director responded. She was the first democratic senator to call for frankens resignation. He had eight credible allegations against him. A Sexual Harassment for groping. Two of them since he was a senator. And the eighth one that came out was a congressional staffer. And i had a choice to make, whether to stay silent or not. Whether to say its not okay with me. And i decided to say that.

Committee has schedule contempt votes for attorney general bill barr and wilbur ross for defying the panels subpoena seeking information about efforts to add a Citizenship Question to the 2020 census. Committee chair Elijah Cummings wrote in separate letters sent to barr and ross, unfortunately your actions are part of a pattern. Adding the Trump Administration has been engaged in one of the most unprecedented coverups since watergate extending from the white house to multiple federal agencies and departments of the government and across numerous investigations. The department of commerce issued a statement in response to Elijah Cummings letter saying this. The committee has taken this extraordinary step to compel production of documents protected by long standing and well settled privileges to any objective observer. It is abun danley clear the committees intent is not to find facts but to desperately and improperly influence the Supreme Court with mere inis in y insinuations and conspiracy theories. Joining us here on set to talk more about this msnbc legal analyst sensitive. Talk us through exactly what Elijah Cummings is accusing bill barr and wilbur ross of . Congress has the foresubpoena documents but as weve seen over the last few months that power doesnt mean a whole lot because the executive branch knows it is uniquely situated to oppose these. After all how do you hold bill barr in criminal contempt because the next step is to ask bill barr to present bill barr to indict bill barr for contempt. Congress has other contempt powers and can send the sergeant of arms out to arrest people but thats not realist jig. Congress has the foresubpoena but only kind of because ultimately it requires another branch to enforce that. In this particular case, the key is, Congress Wants these documents from the executive branch in order to determine whether or not the proposed change to the sentence question was not to enforce the law but instead motivated to help white and other similarly situated voters. Holding them in contempt they are building this paper trail, building case to take this up to the Supreme Court if they want to. Exactly. Simultaneously theres also a battle going on in the actual courts as this question is challenged as to whether or not it is a valid exercise of federal law, or if instead it exceeds, you know, these questions about census exceed the power one federal statute. The court has a case before it. They are weighing the Citizenship Question census. Does this political fight, the revelation a couple of days ago theres a political consultant who died and his daughter found the hard drive and this question was a way to help white republicans and disenfranchise minority voters. The case has been. Briefed, but it is an interesting question of the law. If this was a valid exercise of legal authority, doe it matter that we now find out that it may have been motivated by some bad reason, which is, disadvantaging people of race, advantaging people of a particular color. But if it at its core a valid exercise of federal law, then it may not matter, which is a scary thought. Danny cevallos, thank you. Lets get a check on your weather now with nbc meteorologist bill karins. Good morning, bill. Good morning. Still all the focus is on the flood zone. Vice president pence is heading to tulsa second time visiting the flood zone. Areas of missouri are still looking like this.
