The president twitter teases a major announcement about the southern border he'll be making saturday afternoon. "the 11th hour" on a friday night starts right now. good evening once again from our nbc news headquarters here in new york. i'm steve kornacki. brian williams is under the weather. day 729 of the trump administration, day 28 of the shutdown, soon to be day 29. we begin with breaking news. special counsel robert mueller is disputing this buzzfeed report that broke late last night claiming that the president of the united states directed michael cohen to lie to congress about negoti...

Short time ago, ben smith spoke to our colleague, chris hayes. >> we went to them 24 hours ago and, you know, they declined to comment on it. obviously the special counsel prefers to control the time line and for reasonable reasons wants to operate on his own time line and without revealing a lot of detail. >> smith also told rachel maddow that buzzfeed sources continue to stand by their information. rudy giuliani also weighed in tonight sending this message on twitter. quote, i commend bob mueller's office for correcting the buzzfeed false story that president trump encouraged cohen to lie. i...

Putting out a public statement. we almost never hear from robert mueller's office. how do you read the statement from mueller tonight? is he saying there's no there there when it comes to this reporting? >> the one thing you're missing in that setup is not only do we have the report, but we had a feeding frenzy. maybe we need to start hearings. maybe we need impeachment hearings. the city of washington was completely ginned up. and then you have the statement from mueller's office, which is basically a good old-fashioned spanking. it's just wait a minute. he's communicate in a cryptic way that...
