It is a situation that is so unique, when a president is trying to steal the election from the american people. the report clearly showed yesterday he was browbeating d.o.j. officials trying to get them to interfere in the vote count n the certification of the votes. he was whipping up his supporters to storm the cap toll in an armed attack to go after his sitting vice president, to disrupt the procedures of our government. that s not the procedures of a president. i think and the white house is within their core right to deny this assertion of executive privilege. do you think there is a scenario where trump sflly keeps these documents we all know the supreme court is unpredictable.
washington post writes donald trump s luxury washington hotel lost $70 million while he was in office despite reaping millions in payments from foreign governments according to the daumts released by the committee. the documents allege that trump received $3.7 million from foreign governments and received preferential treatment from deutsche bank which allowed him to defer payments for six years on the $170 million loan on the property. joining our conversation, david barren that will reporter for the washington post, also an msnbc political analyst. jeremy is still here. david, i feel like this interweaving of his businesses and the state, the government, was a beat you were on. you uncovered everything that became known for the most part during his presidency. this is a bombshell, though. and it pulls in all the shady
