former special counsel robert muller recently appeared before the u.s. congress to answer questions about his investigation of president trump and russian interference in the 2016 presidential campaign president has repeatedly claimed your ford found there was no obstruction and that it completely and totally exonerated. that is not what your report said is it. correct it is not what the report said. the report did not include he did not commit a structure of justice that is correct for many democrats there are strong grounds for impeaching donald trump but with republicans remaining firmly in his corner it's becoming symbolic of america's partisan divide it's starting to look like you having desperately tried and failed to make a legal case against the president you made a political case instead you put it in a paper sack lit on fire dropped it on our porch rang the doorbell and ran i don't think you will view a report that is as thorough as fair as consistent as a report that we have in front of us history is repeating itself i would say the trumpet mi

muller. to sit on the 9th of april 2018 a new york attorney becomes the latest target of bob mullen michael cohen donald trump's personal lawyer michael cohen is donald trump's longtime personal lawyer and fixer is the city present the secret and he has as the keys to the kingdom he knows all the secrets about donald trump. card with. the f.b.i. search cohens office at the request of a local prosecutor on charges of financial fraud. the move initiated by bomb miller as a direct challenge to the president himself. so i just heard that they broke into the office busy of one of my personal attorneys because man i said that it's really valid at all. new level of unfair. cohen to someone who might know about trump's alleged real estate dealings in russia. that was fairly common knowledge in the real estate community and the international finance community in the political community the russians were funding in various ways many major trunk real estate projects cohen my also know if the president l

only 8 days after the firing of james combing the justice department appoints robert muller to take over the russian probe. for this mission robert mueller was called out of retirement he had been director of the f.b.i. for 12 years and in 2013 he had left the law enforcement agency with full honors and his farewell speech he proclaimed his unshakable faith in the rule of law. have always been proud to say that i work for the department of justice because of that for which it stands which is an unyielding commitment to the rule of law and to the safety and security of the citizens we serve a know. quite well. i worked with him for about 4 years when i was the cia deputy director and he was the director of the f.b.i. . he's not a self promoting individual and he has a very high standard for what is true and what is not true administrator pistole he pointed me as his number 2 person in the f.b.i. as a deputy director and so i had the chance to get to know him and then. work with him so let me say a few words about director ball or politics or just don't play any role in his calculations so

obstruction of justice by the president robert muller is not spelling any of that out so what we're seeing here is the democratic members of congress are basically reading his report and he is basically saying true this is not exactly must what must see t.v. public and do you see louie gohmert there the republican trying to go after more of his team his credibility and trying to basically say that he shouldn't have even looked at obstruction of justice because that wasn't his mandate because muller is basically saying look. president could face obstruction of justice charges which is no longer president but the justice department says the sitting president can't be indicted that's probably the biggest takeaway from the hearing that's far which i think a lot of people expected would be a little bit more. a little bit more exciting than it actually did. pass the let's go over down to elizabeth sign because she's an associate professor of american studies and political science at george washington university joins us from washington d.c. good to have you with us let me start 1st of all elizab

muller exposing the russia collusion conspiracy theory for the sham that it always was and catching democrats in an elaborate web of lies and deceit so again trump his reelection campaign his spokes person have all been doing this and have all been communicating the same message with these forceful words that the president in their words has been completely exonerated however that ignores the fact that within this report from miller that was summarized by web it states in black and white that while this report does not conclude that the president committed a crime it also does not exonerate him so what we have now with is very confusing read that are completely in contrast with each other of the same words in this report and it really shouldn't be a surprise given the partisanship that's been dominating washington and what this allows is democrats in congress who have been champing at the bit to have some sort of. true evidence to further their investigations of trump gives them that little bit of leeway to do so and certainly i'm sure they will explore this question of obstruction

you just a quick look at the top stories this hour as we've been hearing special counsel robert muller has concluded his investigation into russian interference in the two thousand and sixteen u.s. election is reporters now been delivered to the u.s. attorney general william barr you might submit the summary to congress by this weekend senior democrats and republicans of call for the report to be made public but it is up to the attorney general to decide how much of it will be disclosed aid agencies in mozambique are racing to rescue and feed survivors of cyclon a diet which has killed more than five hundred fifty people in southern africa the first cholera cases have been reported in the mozambican city of the era as sea is said of the international federation of the red cross and red crescent societies has just been in mozambique and says the country is a ticking time bomb of disease unfortunately many people their livestock and they left what under what many were lost their lives the meant by these people to be the covered but i mean why thousands thousands of people that are great

muller than they are to believe the president we're also hearing and this is somewhat surprising but he in bars reportedly telling people that he could send a concise summary of the findings to the important members of congress joe over this weekend and now when anything goes to congress it leaks that's just what happens and the democrats are going to want to make sure that that is out in the public if there's anything though there's also been a lot of whispering from republicans that they don't think muller found anything and i think that's a little bit disingenuous to be think about it thirty four people three companies have been indicted some of the president's closest aides are going to prison or of pled guilty to lying to the f.b.i. about the campaign so we don't know what robert mueller is going to say we don't exactly know when we're going to find out but we know that it's five o'clock out of friday in the typical washington way we are now hearing that has sent a reports to the attorney general now we wait to see what this attorney general appointed by president trump does. th

the document triggers what's expected to be another lengthy investigation in addition to robert muller's probe into potential trunk ties to russia this latest effort is a coordination by more than a half dozen house committees including judiciary committee chair jerry now looking into trump's decision to fire former f.b.i. director james comey as well as efforts to protect former national security advisor michael flynn it's very clear that the president should be just as it's very clear eleven hundred times he referred to the mole investigation as a witch hunt to try to if fired he tried to protect flynn from being investigated by the by the f.b.i. you fired me in order to stop the russian think the committee's efforts will be punctuated by hearings designed to create a record of public testimony and could expose potential presidential conflicts of interest ranging from trump's hotel in washington to possible money laundering by the president's businesses and well impeachment proceedings are possible they aren't a minute no we have to do the investigations and get all this we do not now

muller the lawyers for michael flynn in recent weeks suggested that it was entrapped in some way to do pleading to pleading guilty for his original crime because when he had his initial interview with the f.b.i. investigators in the white house they hadn't explained to him what they were up to you hadn't explained to him the gravity of lying to investigators at the time so the judge seems rather annoyed by this and was suggesting well wait you say you were entrapped so are you actually pleading guilty or are you suggesting you were entrapped to this when the back and forth for some time michael flynn admitted that he would least affirm that he did plead guilty that he did not feel he was entrapped then the sentencing hearing began in earnest and that's really where everything began and the judge being very very derisory very it's just not hiding his anger at slim for what he said was effectively selling out the country being the national security adviser. united states but being a registered foreign agent lying to investigators in the white house know that he's very angry by that an

say that they believe that the president is obstructing justice that he's attempting to undermine the robert muller investigation into whether or not there was not only russian interference in the twenty six thousand u.s. election but whether or not donald trump's presidential campaign colluded in any way with russia whether he attempted to obstruct justice they certainly are suggesting that the firing of jeff sessions the former attorney general was an attempt to do so they say this is a pattern by the president not only this firing or rather forced resignation but also the firing of the former f.b.i. director james comey the threat to fire the special counsel that has been looming and that the president has intimated many times and also an attempt to end the f.b.i. investigation is former national security advisor michael flynn and committee why are democrats sort of worried about matthew washington's appointment about him being acting attorney general and what can they do beyond writing this letter now. well there are a number of things they can do first of all they can raise them have do

director james comey the threat to fire robert muller who is overseeing the investigation and also the attempt to previously and the f.b.i. investigation of former national security advisor michael flynn they see all of this collectively as concerning that's where they are not only demanding clarity in terms of how this investigation will move forward in the eyes of the acting attorney general but also they're calling for emergency hearings into the forced resignation of jeff sessions given the fact that they believe that this was the president's attempt to obstruct justice with respect to this investigation. and obviously it's the senate that can confirm the new attorney general in the senate is now controlled by the republicans who are has really has remained in republican hands trump right now though it or soon is going to be ad kavanah investiture tell us a little bit how bad is playing out. well you know all things involving the federal judiciary are pretty active at the moment not only have we seen the departure of the attorney general jeff sessions somebody else put in his place
