Coverage of national and international news, including breaking stories. trump tower meeting between allegedly his son and some russians and some other folks. and it is true that parts of that investigation have blossomed into whole new areas, such as the manafort trial, which has nothing at all to do with the original russia investigation. in fact it s one of the bases that manafort asked the judge to throw that case out, that it exceeded the power of the special counsel. so it s hard to say what exactly kristin davis has information about, because the scope of this investigation is so broad. just to give a little better sense pulling back the curtain from my conversations in my day job working over at the white house, in a series of conversations i had late this week with sources close to the president, they all tell me that the president s frustration specifically as it relates to paul manafort, remember that specific case he attacked as a hoax on twitter earlier this wee ....
clinton and don, jr. among others. and there is more. a federal judge is forcing a long-time aide to trump advisor roger stone to turnover documents and testify before a grand jury hearing, hearing evidence in the mueller investigation. stone sought damaging information about hillary clinton from wikileaks, the website which published thousands of hacked democratic e-mails, e-mails stolen by russian hackerses, hackers the trump justice department identified as agents of the russian government. there are also new developments in the trial of the president s former campaign manager, paul manafort s bookkeeper testifying that her boss was effectively broke and lying to banks about his precarious financial situation after losing his biggest client, which is the pro-russian former ukrainian president. and that was right about the same time that manafort started working for the trump campaign. the bookkeeper also testified that she knew nothing of foreign accounts controlled by manafort ....
floo flighting if it does turn out to are accurate. we ve seen evidence of the ship to ship transfers. the u.s. has given evidence to the panel. and we also understand from this report that they say that the north koreans are, quote, increasingly sophisticated evasion techniques, this is what they are using, they are becoming more sophisticated in their efforts to try to hide the fact that these are north korean tankers and ships at sea doing this kind of transfer. is so certainly this will be of concern to the security council sanctions committee. right. and what about south korea? they were the ones who first made this renewed connection with north korea and that ended up leading to a summit with the u.s. president. do you expect them to respond? reporter: well, we ve had no response from south korea at this point or from any of the players in the region. certainly this report was only handed to the committee on friday night. so there will be a lot of questions being ask ....
Rachel Maddow takes a look at the day s top political news stories. so that was the answer. that s the tension on the intelligence. then there is a separate tension about how do you investigate, indict and punish the people identified by that very intelligence for attacking american democracy? we all know, there is a busy special counsel that trump has denigrated and at sometimes lied about. so a question on that was posed to the fbi director who of course, let s not forget has this job because his predecessor was fired because of the same russia probe and that firing is now part of the obstruction inquiry. i have a question for director wray. thank you. the special counsel robert mueller has indicted more than 20 russian officials based on work by the fbi for med ding in the 2016 election. the president has tweeted that that investigation by the special counsel is a hoax and should be shut down. i know you ve said you don t believe it is a hoax. why would the american peo ....
