house homeland security committee member ellis anesthesia slotkin will have more coming up on "morning joe". joining us again, gaby. this is chilling to see this database and those numbers blurred out that people find out they are in this document. seems like an infringement of journalist's rights. >> reporter: if you read the details of the report chilling is the right word. there are incidents where journalists were detained at the border and questioned. individuals had information such as their social security number, the car that they drive, their mother's maiden name and then to determine how that was used in this questioning is perhaps even more concerning. the report indicates there were journalists asked to turn over their cell phones to these law enforcement authorities. that could obviously raise some privacy issues. this is definitely an instance where under the guise of a
explore possibilities of a pardon with president trump's lawyer. davis insists that doe not conflict with cohen's congressional testimony because cohen is no longer cooperating with the president's legal team. mr. trump's attorney rudy giuliani firing back never means never. cohen is heading to prison in part for pleading guilty for lying to congress. >> just furthers the narrative that maybe he's not the best conveyor of the truth. >> michael cohen lies like a dog. that's what he did. >> reporter: the white house's defense is consistent that michael cohen is a liar. it's been challenging for the past two weeks for president trump. >> our thanks to kristen welker for that report. i want to bring in our white house reporter for politico. gaby, as we get started with michael cohen and that lawsuit, where does it go as he prepares
i just told you i made the decision. coming up he'll have much more using the 25th amendment to remove president trump from office. >> president trump also weighed in with a series of tweets writing disgraced andrew mccabe pretends to a poor little angel when in fact he was a big part of the crooked hillary scandal and the russia hoax, a puppet for leaking james comey. part of insurance policy in case i won. many of the top fbi brass were fired, forced to leave or left. mccabe's wife received big dollars from clirn people for her campaign. he gave hillary a pass. mccabe is a disgrace to the fbi and a disgrace to our country. make america great again. mccabe was fired on the eve of his retirement by jeff sessions who cited lack of candor as the cause. joining us now gaby.
everybody was talking about. >> in truth, i spent the day as i spent every other day, quietly polishing the routine of my life until it gleamed with perfection. >> i had a lot to say about women who go into the iconic roles of wife and mother and they're unfulfilled. >> i think the good news it brought is women who are not perfect, who are not young, are viable. and the fan base was amazing, you know. there were t-shirts. i remember going into a store and there was "i am lynette." >> ma'am, you need to get back in your car, please. >> i am gaby. >> i am suzanne. >> i am bre. >> are you at a bar? >> we stood on the shoulders of those who came before, you know, strong women characters in
let's turn to the midterms here and the president's reaction on this very tight race in florida, arizona and georgia. here's a bit of what he said about it yesterday. >> you foresee a federal role in the florida recount which you tweeted about last night? >> it could be. all of a sudden they're finding votes out of nowhere and rick scott, who won by, you know, it was close, but he won by a comfortable margin, every comfortable of hours it goes down a little bit. what's going on in florida's a disgrace. now in arizona, all of a sudden, out of the wilderness, they find a lot of votes and she's -- the other candidate is just winning by a hair. >> okay. so in that, gaby, the president goes from declaring tuesday's results a victory to now some level of voter fraud. can you decipher, gauge his thinking on all of this? >> i think this is very similar to sort of what we could've expected to play out after 2016 had he not won the presidency
figuratively. so let's bring in the washington correspondence gavi floor and jet out to talk about it. gaby, welcome. tell us what the mood has been there as you are chasing this on thground. >> we are watching this interaction closely. every glimpse that we can. whenever we are watching president trump and it kim jong un interact, we are seeing pleasantries exchanged. he saw that handshake earlier today, there were a lot of body motions, movement and comfortable padding on the other shoulder. they talked at the very atop of their first bilateral spray about some sort of agreement. obviously we haven't seen the terms of agreement yet and we are not sure what's coming out of this meeting, whether it will be a joint statement orwill see the framework on a nuclear agreement or peace agreement shortly. they are meeting now to have a working lunch with their senior
this, let's bring back white house correspondent for the washington examiner, gaby. we have giuliani's admission that president trump reimbursed michael cohen for the payment to stormy daniels, catching the white house off-guard to say the least. what more are you learning about the reaction within the west wing to rudy giuliani's revelation? >> not only were aides really confused about where president trump and rudy giuliani thought this would help the president, they were also just totally and completely left in the dark about this interview that he did on wednesday night and all of the interviews that happened afterwards. i spoke with somebody in the white house communications shop yesterday who said that they did not preapprove any interview that giuliani did with any national media outlet yesterday but rather that they learned of them after the fact and so there was no preparation before this, there was no consultation with the president's in-house lawyers
white house staffers working with interim security clear answers. meanwhile those two sources also tellclearanswers. meanwhile those two sources also tell nbc nuews that he is under investigation for alleged serious financial crimes. sources close struggled with a gambling addiction and they believe the investigation may be related. nbc news has been unable to reach him for comment though. just hours after the news that mcentee had been fired and was under investigation, the president's re-election campaign announced that he would be joining as a senior adviser. in the wake of mcentee's exit, the top democrat on the house overitem and government reform committee elijah cummings has asked the white house for more information on mcentee's security clearances and subs quep subsequent firing. gaby and bobby are back with us. we have this apparent winner in
are chovertures and that persons mike pompeo. direct aor pochmpeo stood by hi decision to impose the tariffs. he has been a fierce critic of the iranian nuclear deal which is something tillerson urged president trump not to decertify. and he is obviously going to be a counterweight on russia, but really an ally to the president in this role as secretary of state. >> let's talk about the legacy, what kind of legacy do you think tillerson is leaving behind? because if we look at this honestly, there were a lot of open positions left at the state department. he was not in line with a lot of the president's positions as gaby was just talking about. what type of legacy do you think that tillerson is leaving and how are allies abroad looking at this exit of secretary of state? >> he doesn't have a good legacy. i think by common conconsensus, is the poorest secretary of state that has ever been, shorted tenure. abroad, they are looking at this with misty if i mist if i
republican.the drain the swamp, but capable of being either a democrat or republican. i think that is what conor lamb showcased. he wasn't criticizing president trump. i don't think there is a single speech in which conor lamb really went after the president. and in fact in the week leading up to yesterday's election, he actually sided with the president on his decision to impose steel and aluminum tariffs on imports to the u.s. and so that is a lesson that democrats can take away, that it is not a requirement that a candidate run against the president. in fact in some ways they can embrace the trump agenda and still perhaps pull off a victory. >> he definitely ran more as a centrist. gaby, thank you so much. i'll talk to you again at the bottom of the hour. we're piecing together the time line in the firing ever secretary of state rex tillerson. a lot happening in washington today. beginning on friday when tillerson received a call in the middle of the night while on his goodwill tour of africa from john kelly. two sources telling the "washington post" the president
