Chris Hayes discusses the day s top news. reporters, julia ainsley and tyranny snead. we have been going back and forth. and i thought ken had the exciting stuff. but i think i had the better day. where exactly paful manafort lied. one man who said he was asked to lie by paul manafort when he had e-mails showing that he was asked to lie and say that a residence that paul manafort owned in new york was a personal residence for the manaforts and not a business rental as it was. he wanted him to lie because he was trying to change his financial situation to get more loans. then we saw another tax preparer, cindy laporta. and she, there is a reason she had immunity because she said she was disturbed and she eventually drew a line and stopped doing this. but never wanted to report it because she didn t want to open up her firm to litigation. there is a pattern, rick gates and paul manafort worked hand in glove. it was not rick gates. and that also time and time again, paul ma ....
Chris Hayes discusses the day s top news. fraudulent accounting tricks that they use to convince banks to give them more money and paul manafort was cc ed on these e-mails. there is something here as i read testimony of the case and paged through some of the bits of evidence the government has entered, julia, that there is a desperation that is almost cinematic. you can feel wafting off the e-mails. that these are people that are scrounging and starved for cash. desperation is the word, i m glad you used that. that is the one word that the prosecution wants to have sticking in the jurors mind when they deliberate. this was a man desperate enough when he works with these shady characters. he would have put his whole family and business at risk because he was so desperate. he got to a point where he might not have been able to pay health care premiums but still wanted to fund the lifestyles and keep the house in the hamptons. a man that was desperate, and wanted to keep ....
The day s biggest political and news stories, with interviews and reporting from around the nation. special coverage and handle her own mafia cases. and from the washington post, an all-star panel, if i may compliment you all. what was your view of rick gates taking the stand? is this a testimonial turning point in the trial? what did you see with your own eye, the tension in the room. it was absolutely riveting, ari. i do think it was a turning point. up until now the jury heard from witnesses who worked for mr. manafort and sold him goods, but nobody who knew his state of mind, his motives. gates does that. it was incredible to see mr. gates who worked for paul manafort as his protege to see him walk in that courtroom just 10 feet from the defendant and he did this ritual lisk process boss in charge, with the python jacket, had no clue. the other thing mueller s team has done a good job is to support and protect gates beforehand. every witness who has come to the sta ....

Analysis and discussion of the day s top stories and compelling issues from Lawrence O Donnell. daniels and other women during the campaign. it was always so clear to him that he did something wrong that he lied about it when he was asked about it on air force one, which became the next question in the briefing. so many people now look back at that tape of him on air force one saying he knew nothing about these payments, when in fact we now know he knew everything about those payment, so has he lied. that s a ridiculous accusation. the president has done nothing wrong and there are no charges against him. so now it is a ridiculous accusation if you ask the question has the president lied after the whole world has watched the president lie on air force one. mr. president, did you know about the $130,000 payment to stormy daniels? then why did makele cohen make that. you have to ask michael cohen. michael is my attorney and you ll have to ask michael. do you kn ....
