Meeting. This dragnet could ensnare donald trump junior and jared kushner. This matters because his lawyers were arguing they dropped the collusion probe on him and was going after unrelated activities that predate 2016. We have muellers answer to that whole attack tonight in two parts. First, his answer is a crime is a crime and theyre not backing down on pre2016 crimes but second muellers new filing makes clear it was partly about probe and collusion. Something thats sure to get donald trump junior notice. Did you tell your father anything about this . No. It was such a nothing, it was nothing to tell. This is all of it . This is everything. This is everything. If thats true, muellers clearly not taking their word for it. He has the feds rummaging through peoples office and bedrooms to make sure. Were learning this raid included looking for evidence on a russian businessman linked to trumps work in moscow whose son set up the Infamous Trump tower meeting. Theres whats cleared for the public. Theres other material thats sensitive you can see its all redacted. Theres five pages that looks like this. We dont know why. I cant tell you. Were getting rare look of Paul Manafort challenging the legality of the search. Before dawn at the home of one time Trump Campaign chair Paul Manafort a dozen agents waking him up. Part of surprise is a tool for Law Enforcement there. It seems to be escalating now. Muellers team is filing all this to show why the search was valid. Its not just federal records. Its also access to a storage unit obtained. Without manaforts knowledge, also evidence about his state of mind about the crimes under investigation. See the signature there. Thats tha is muellers deputy chief. Hes a feared prosecutor and known for flipping even the most difficult witnesses. This might be interesting to donald trump and his allies because if you watch the beat you know his own lawyer claims that the white house top lawyer reached some kind of agreement to get mueller to keep weismanfwhrks away from trump. Mueller has agreed not to have weismann involved in any investigation of the president. Thats a little known secret. Who told you that . Somebody on the president staff. That was a white house lawyer or staffer . Staffer. Was it ty cobb . Yes. One of the 46 federal prosecutors fired by trump. Hes running for congress. Going to talk about that in moment. Nick, your reaction . This is what i would expect. I would hope thats what hes doing. He should be looking at the russian conspiracy and trying to find out exactly what happened at the june 9th meeting. He should be looking at the computers and anything that was referring to any contacts with russians and what happened at the june 9th meeting. Theres all kind of things that can be found on a computer. That june 9th meeting doesnt have anything to do with paul manafworts Money Laundering violations and all of that. What does that tell you . It has to do with Paul Manafort having a birds eye view of what could be conspiracy to defraud the United States. It doesnt get much juicier than this. We get this shady russian operative telling trump junior, i got dirt on Hillary Clinton. He said i would love this. Mueller would love a really good high place snitch. The big question about manafort is why hasnt he pled guilty. Hes charged with Money Laundering. Those are really easy crimes to prove. Im sure mueller would love to flip him. The wider angle is when you look at the political side of this, a lot of the early critics of mueller said this is everything but collusion. What does it say to you that the very things that manafort eets lawyers are doing are getting in some cases redacted but quite clear statements that are looking at collusion evidence. Right. Another big critique of muellers critics is they did this predawn. They have no knock warrant. Muellers office is pushing back saying the warrant that they obtained to search the residence was not a no knock warrant. This is something that we now know the investigation into collusion has always been running on a parallel track to the other investigations. Muellers team had reason to believe there were documents memorializing this meeting. They had said it was a nothing burger and nothing came out of it. Those notes made cryptic messages to cyprus, rnc. We dont know what those notes are in reference to. All signs are pointing to that meeting being extremely important and Pivotal Moment of the campaign. Whats your analysis tonight . If i could say that i was fired by President Trump. This is a very valuable insight into the investigation itself. I think this is an example of what the special prosecutor mueller has been doing during his career is he starts at a wrong and movers up the wrong towards individuals. What we see is by the specificity of the information thats come out this is moving closer towards the president himself, the inner circle. One of the things thats important about the investigation is you go where the facts lead you. If we know they are asking for these facts, we know the direction of the fookacts are going. The person overseeing this is andrew weismann. This something not only got jay goldbergs attention but fox news folks have decided they dont like him either. Hes a notorious lawyer known for abusive tactics and for weaponizing the law in a ruthless and often unprincipled quest to convict. Hes a legal thug and has a long history of abusive tactics. He should resign immediately or be fired immediately. Andrew weismann not only needs to be fired but fully investigated. Sg if youre close to fox, if thats what youre watching, youre hearing this name more. Our people here at this table may have talked more about bob mueller. They are interested in weismann. What do you make of this claim by trumps lawyer who says he has attorneyclient privilege that they are under the impression he wont touch President Trump personally. I cant believe there would be such an agreement by the special Prosecutors Office and say certain people arent going to investigate anything relating to the president. That just doesnt happen. He knows what hes doing. Hes had a number of convictions. He had a good record. The things theyre saying are part of the same pattern of lies that theyve been perpetrating on the Mueller Office every chance they get. The closer the office gets to actually the trump people and to the president himself the more they will keep attacking. The personal that really ought to be investigating is sean hannity. Hes the one who was the person whose name was brought up on the cohen search warrant as a client. Theres no allegation of impro pryty for having lawyer. Why didnt he offer himself up as a client if hes done nothing wrong. That information will never see the light of day. Its totally covered by grand jury secrecy. What is going on with sean hannity when hes allowing himself to be used as a client and he says hes not a client. Past interviews with manafort and gates are listed here. What does that tell you about how they have been of investigative interest . Being watched for a long time. We know that weissmann, he was called a legal thug. I think he will probably wear that as a badge of honor. A bunch of these people have been targets of hard core investigative tactics like being surveyed. Having listening devices. We dont know how long these guys have been investigated. They have been engaged in dubious activities for a while. Legal thug sounds a bit like an oxymoron. You cant have legal thug passion. It depends on what youre into. Do you think at any point with the strategy and youve been covering the case closely, manaforts lawyer decide to back audiotape the ta attacks on mueller. They should. Mueller has said we have the authority to execute the search warrant. The entire argument that manafort gave with overly broad mandate in order to investigate anything rising out of Donald Trumps campaign is he also shot that back. It turns out that rosenstein wrote a memo last year. It shows that mueller has the authority to do what hes been doing. M manafort is at the center of whether this campaign colluded with russia. He got ousted because of reports of these continued tied. These are Paul Manafort has been at the center of this. It would be unusual and bizarre if they werent putting their best prosecutor in order to investigate this further. It goes back years and years and years and theres a lot there. May mondamon, i mentioned yo fired by trump. You have a sort of alternative fan fiction apprentice themed advertisement that just came out in your race. Lets look at that. Wouldnt you say you crossed a line in. Id say i did what was right for nm. Youre fired. When im in congress, your next to get fired. What are you saying there . What im saying is this president , President Trump should serve no he should serve in office no longer than any day necessary according to the constitution. Right now what we see is we have an investigation going on special counsel mueller. That needs to be respected an supported. Also, it appears the evidence, theres enough there for impeachment hearings and in the house and looks like theres grounds for American People to vote him out of office. This president should not stay in Office One Day longer than the constitution demands. I wonder although people do all kinds of things the political ads to get attention. Do can you risk confusing the issue by positioning your critique of President Trump and the potential issue that you just raised of removal and combining that with him firing you which under traditional u. S. Attorney rules is often happens as you know when new president s come into power. No. No, i dont. Let me tell you whats at the heart of this is the rule of law. The way that the u. S. Attorneys, 46 u. S. Attorneys, me being included one of them were ushered out was it was wrong the way it was done. We represented a threat to the president. This was individuals who would counter him, who would hold him accountable. The way that i found out on march 10th was i came back to the office about 1 30 in the afternoon and i was handed a piece of paper. I learned from that through the Washington Post that we were out. I had been under the understanding i was going to have a smooth transition. Time to put things in place so that investigation, so that prosecution should be carried out in an orderly fashion. That wasnt given to me. I have to believe that happened throughout the United States with the other 45 u. S. Attorneys involved. I got to fit in a break. I thank each you have for being part of our coverage. Nick, well come back to you. New controversy over Donald Trumps doctor. Well trace some of those roots to the art of deal and new report for criminal exposure that dates back to when he got the nomination. A special prosecutor explains.

Ask your hep c specialist about harvoni. Donald Trump Campaigned on fixing the veteran Affairs Department with his business skills. Tonight hes learning that doing the job is harder than talking about it. He bizarrely suggests his new v. A. Pick up for a job trump wouldnt even do himself. Heres a man who has just been an extraordinary person, and he has to listen to the abuse that he has to. If i were him, actually, in many ways, id love to be him. But the fact is i wouldnt do it. I wouldnt do it. I wouldnt do it. Heres why the story matters. Trump said he would run the nation like his business and thats what hes doing. I dont mean the fake business that trump pretreended to run o his fake show. The v. A. Is suffering from how trump does business. Min map vetting, understaffing and underresourced. Take barbara red who told us about trumps leadership. Shes hold school trump. Im first woman who has overall supervision of major skyscraper in the new york metropolitan area. My name is barbara reis. She said the trump board was never really the giant company. It was very lean. It wasnt planned out like a fortune 100 company either. Trump hired people on impulse. He saw a glimpse into that fa said when reporters were allowed behind the scenes at trump tower finding very spare Campaign Headquarters in what was the Trump Organizational area. She brings up another key point. Impulse. Putting the fate of more than 18 million veterans in the hands of someone who just says something you like in the moment. Some people have just great genes. I told the president if he had healthier diet over the last 20 years, he might live to be 200 years old. I dont know. He has incredible genes. That could make trump feel good but what about our veterans. Tonight they are faced with the prospect the person running their health care overseeing policy decisions that impact life and death, well, is under a lot of strain. Allegations of overseeing a hostile Work Environment and overprescribing drugs. The Washington Post also reporting jackson was not really vetted. Had no formal interview and his nomination is hanging in the balance after all this. What is the difference between saying something wrong like only you can fix the v. A. And deliberately lying to everyone about it . It questions whether youre in on the con. Is trump delusional and thinks his business is gigantic and would save the v. A. Or not . We have for you some of the most damming evidence. It comes from trump himself. He wrote in the art of the deal that misrepresenting the size of the Trump Organization was key to its success. I began to call the company the Trump Organization. The word Organization Made it sound much bigger. Few people new it was operated out of a couple of tiny offices on avenue z in brooklyn. Maybe that is what it means to run a company the trump way. We could run our country the way i run my company, we would have a country would be so proud of. You would be proud of it. The trump way meets veterans affairs. Yeah. I think watching what happened today is a really chilling mi o microcosm of what trump is doing. This is man with no policy understanding and no desire to learn. We saw this more glaringly than anywhere else. He put somebody forward who we knew reports are coming out we have known as long as 2012 that the man was suspect. He created a hostile Work Environment. He had no qualifications to run the v. A. He was reported to be drinking on the job. Out of all the jobs in the country that should not be excessively tring drinking on, white house physician would probably be the very top of that list. If were dealing with somebody who has those kinds of issues that clearly trump was just excited because he said he had good genes. We know the president behaves that shallowly. All you have to do is be tall, look the part and Say Something thies about him and you could have your pick of just about anybody in the country. If youre lucky now have be down the hall. This is not like many issues in trump land right now. This is not really about a political partisan thing. Let me play some republicans who are very concerned about his record. The allegations that have come out against admiral jackson are very disserving. They look into peoples backgrounds. Maybe they missed manager. Maybe they didnt. There are questions about him to begin with. Whether he as plgt experience. Whether his experience lends itself to that. Then do something. Watching republican after republican criticize an egregious error like this, they have the power to do Something Like this. We have dangerously incompetent man in the white house who is leading the white house and trying to put other incompetent cronies in charge. They could say were not going to confirm him. Find something different. They could try to make he sure he doesnt try to enron the constitution by protecting mueller. They could do a lot of things to make sure were running checks and balances. They are unwilling to do that. In the same way they criticized but
