A news and interview program, anchored by Erin Burnett. Erin. Throughout the day we saw the president several times, the first time in the oval office with the italian Prime Minister asked questions about what is he talking about exactly with Conflicts Of Interest with bob mueller.

Unwanted, the poorly bred, those yearning to be free, and we will do whatever the hell we can to make it if were given a chance. It is the exception among us who doesnt have that in their blood.

Ill see you tomorrow night. D lemon picks it up from here. Its a great closing argument. Number one, lebron james talked to me about the kids being separated at the border.

A recap of the days news. The idea that somehow this is floating out in the ether somewhere in orbit far away from the central focus of this investigation is just not true. Those lines of investigation are open. And this is a man who has shown himself willing to do some fairly dodgy work for people supported by the kremlin abroad in the ukraine. And thats one reason why hes standing in court today. And this is just the beginning and again, one of two trials. The first of two trials for Paul Manafort this summer. So this is and the first one as far as the russia investigation. Listen, theres they have to go a long way, as you said. Theres a long way to go, and april, the judges name is ts ellis. He banned any mention of President Trump, russia or collusion from the courtroom. I mean, that may be, but the trial is no doubt weighing on this white house. It is definitely weighing on this white house, don. From my sources, theyre saying

and as they get bolder, the people are trying to help are going get more uncertain, i saw this in iraq and now in syria. reporter: this is as we learn president trump defended russia on a phone call to new york times last july saying russia was falsely accused of election interferen interference. russia returning that favor, calling the allegation that president trump s working for moscow is stupid. almost identical to the language that the president often uses when casting himself as a victim of a witch hunt. it is a hitch wasn t and a disgrace. i respect the move but the entire thing is a witch hunt. reporter: william barr defended the president s characterization but told senators that at his confirmation hearing that not only mueller should be allowed
