muller the special counsel if congress has passed sanctions and just a day or two before the state of the union this president pretty much said he's not going to enact them mention that either he didn't mention that either of course so i think the strategy is clear the republicans are trying to muddy the waters and clearly drag down the f.b.i. and the confidence in the f.b.i. and the federal government in order to make sure that it's just you know so muddy down that people not going to be able to differentiate and who's right and who's not in the co how do you explain to people here in europe when they're looking at the leader of the united states who in one of his most important speeches does not even mention the reality of the russian threat be it cyber or be it to nato whatever how do you explain this well he talked about all kinds of other things and the talk he gave basically focused mainly on an audience in the united states is not and so by focusing on his success for example in the economic sphere even though not all the facts that arrives he very much take the impression off

muller so it is a huge opportunity for president trump now to lay out his political agenda to achievements and to make a case for his ambitious infrastructure plan for his ambitious immigration plan and according to a senior white house officials who briefed us on the speech it's going to be a very optimistic speech its main theme is building a strong safe and proud america and this official told us that president will be trying to convince his audience that all americans are benefiting under his presidency that all americans of all backgrounds of all incomes are being lifted up by he's paul this is how we're over it is going to be a tough sell with many americans when we look at the approval rating which is that the record low right now and many people he opposed his divisive and controversial remarks in the past and that is a reason for many democrats to boycott this state of the union address right through because that's a point i want to pick up because this is traditionally is a considered vision for a political agenda rather than the sort of barnstorming the parties are. used to addr

muller is looking at but what we do to secure thell ballot box. most americans believe russia interfered and we ought to do something make sure they don't do it again. that would have bipartisan support. >> i'm extremely hopeful that our national security apparatus in wording for the congress to tell them what to do. i'm hoping the fbi folks have been out on their toes. i'm sure the w nsa has been leaning forward and the cia has been leaning forward. if america is sitting around waiting for the congress to act, will be waiting a long time. >> i think a commission is a nice way to kickt the can down the road on things. we saw the leader of the fbi director andrew mccabe is stepping down. what you do from a communication's ten-point without news? will that overshadow tomorrow night. >> goodness now. this is such a washington story. this is washington news. we all have an fbi we can have faith in and have trust in. i do think the investigation of hillary has raised a whole lot of issues that have notgh been adequately addressed including the fact tha

muller is of course an independent is not really tied to the f.b.i. but of course both are him you know kind of at odds with what donald trump so no one knows what what's president trump will do in the future i mean of course he has reportedly tried to fire robert morvillo last year. but later backed off of that so it's not clear it's not clear what trump would do most people think that trump will not will not try again to fire him all of this late in the in the ongoing investigation but of course nobody really knows to be honest no one knows what the u.s. president is going to do the that's definitely the case or at a correspondent michelle can you get on the story for us in washington thank you. here are some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world observers say at least sixteen civilians have been killed in government airstrikes on syria's province now that brings the death toll to some thirty three people since sunday it libya is the only province in syria under the control of opposition forces government troops have be

what you think. >> knowing robert muller he will go full speed ahead on his mandate and that is to turn over every rock and see what happened. if criminal activity was afoot. >> but the criminal activity, i just want to be clear from what i heard from investigators, especially if you are the president your clinging to obstruction of justice. proving anything else might be more problematic. do you agree? >> i actually think the interview, the act of giving the president a chance to get his statement on the record, i'm one of those people who believes the president is not the actual target. i think they are getting ready for an indictment of some kind. i don't it will get to the level of the president. he's been giving statements every day on twitter and there's really no need to interview him. and it's just something that has to do an investigation like the. >> i've heard from those legally advising the president , some feel it's a trap. you say. >> i say he's been giving interviews every day to the fbi, every time he put the statement on twitter, every time he says something to somebody

muller. >> it's fake news, folks. >> the president discussed conflict of interest concerns with robert muller, but his staff convinced him that firing him would be politically catastrophic. president donald trump maintains that there is been no collusion are russia and he said he looked forward to being interviewed. >>> a bombing happened in kabul, afghanistan killing 95 people. tonight, the taliban is claiming responsibility for the attack. several hospitals are treating more than 150 people who were wounded. >>> a woman gravely wounded in the las vegas attack is home from the hospital after her family was told she was not likely to survive the attack. we have more on the woman's remarkable recovery >> reporter: the woman was all smiles, three mons after she was shot in the head in the deadliest mass shooting this united states history. >> what are you going to do when you go home? >> go to disney land >> the couple attended a music festival last october. the bullet injured the left side of her brain, damaging the area that processes language. >> from october 1, a part of me changed.

. >> the president of the united states ride to fire the independent counsel, robert muller tmull -- mueller? is that impeachable. >> you wonder if he's corrupt? we lean toward corrupt. >> his first year in office, he's done everything to undermine and obstruct and halt this legitimate investigation. >> it adds to the mounting evidence there's a -- there's a serious obstruction case here. >> i don't know how this movie ends but there was a lot of bloodshed in the godfather. this is going to be a rough year. >> it is so predictable from the news media. they never waste an opportunity to smear the president and pedal fake news. they don't care about the truth. that's sad. their goal is to damage and destroy trump. you could see it hour in and hour out and minute by minute. that's why the media is caught in the wrong. countless times. so-called major news stories. let's give you examples. it was reported that trump junior received wikileaks. it turned out fake news, cnn, they got the date of the e-mail wrong and it came one day after the wick leaks made them public. ross had to issue a

he helped write the very rules that allowed for the appointment of special counsels like robert muller and today has a new op ed in the washington post. a normal president would know not to try it. thank you for being here. appreciate you being here tonight. >> privilege to be with you, joy. >> let's talk about you wrote a couple points. the first point and i'll read a little bit, at this moment many wish for legal restrictions in the special counsel regulation that would block trump from pyripyr firing mueller but rules can only do so much. the system depends on separation of power and election of individuals with character and judgment. right now both are lacking. when you write that, which officials lacking character and determination did you have in mind? >> i definitely have in mind the president and i think it's important to take a step back and understand what you call this bombshell "new york times" report actually means. this idea that the president tried to fire mueller. i really do think that we are very possibly seeing the end of the trump presidency as a result of those re

muller is investigating claims of collusion between russia and trump's campaign team well in a moment we'll get reaction to that from alan fischer who's in washington d.c. first though let's head to dallas and diplomatic editor james bays and so it was a very k.m.'s from donald trump one that we've certainly heard before in terms of his trade and economic policies but it seems to be much more restrained not the time that we're custom to. yeah absolutely you know what you've heard on the issue of trade from donald trump as a candidate and in the last year of president as president and the world was watching to see what happened when the president came here to the world economic forum a place devoted to open global trade. as the band played a president trump stood somewhat could leave aside the man who founded the world economic forum klaus schwab his vision for almost half a century open world trade is not at all with the president's america first policy taking the role of salesman in chief trump declared no america first does not mean america alone when the united states grows so does

muller fake news the new york times says trump wanted to sign in june of last year but he backed down when the top white house lawyer threatened to resign while is leading the probe into allegations of collusion between the trunk team and russia in the twenty sixteen election so in a moment going to get more reaction to that story from washington where we have alan fischer standing by first though let's head to dab also we have a diplomatic editor james bays and so we're hearing a merica first speech there from china no surprises there but what was interesting was that he did stick to his script and it was perhaps a tone that we are not accustomed to hearing from president trying yeah he was being very careful in this speech as you say he was sticking to the words in the speech the words that appeared on the teleprompter in front of him i think will be a sigh of relief from the white house which didn't need another problem right now anderson relief from those here of the world economic forum because they know what president trump has said about global trade in the past in this body wh

it makes things that much more complicated and that much harder for robert muller a to draw his investigation to a close but b. to draw to a close in a way that all sides are going to say what happened and the results of it are both impartial as well as as should be respected consuming that six trimly are just to add to that i think that's extremely well said what loni just said and eloquently stated the only thing i would add to it is the notion that the f.b.i. there's systemic and bias inside the f.b.i. when both komi and muller are lifelong republicans just seems to me to be a little bit of a stretch and i just think it's kind of i think they're republicans are divided i think there's a group of republicans like lanny who are very responsible here and want to get the facts and that's what we all want the end of the day we just really want the facts and then i think there are another group of republicans like maybe new news and a few others who are kind of a little bit like inspector clouseau here and going down a lot of rabbit holes with a lot of kind of these half baked theories to discre

. >> woodruff: with these new revelations about robert muller's investigation coming to light, we turn now to a republican member of the senate intelligence committee, susan collins of maine. she also played a key role in building bipartisan agreement which led to the government's reopening monday night. we started with what these latest reports on mueller say about the state of his investigation. >> it suggests to me that the special counsel's investigation is proceeding. usually the lower-level witnesses are interviewed first, and then the special counsel works his way up the chain, if you will, to the most important figures. so it suggests to me that perhaps the investigation is nearing a conclusion in terms of the interviews. >> woodruff: meantime, i have to ask you about what's going on in the house. house republicans on the intelligence committee are calling into question what's going on at the f.b.i., casting their objectivity into question, calling for an investigation into missing text messages. are you supportive of what the house republicans are doing? >> i don't think it's

what i think robert muller will want to know, was there a clear causal relationship? was james komi know, was there a clear causal relationship? wasjames komi fired because of russia and if that was the case, was there and obstruction ofjustice. if there is an obstruction ofjustice ofjustice. if there is an obstruction of justice and ofjustice. if there is an obstruction ofjustice and an attempt to obstruct justice, well then that is one of the crimes are misdemeanours that could lead to impeachment. but that is clearly the direction in which robert muller is travelling and having interviewed a lot of relatively junior travelling and having interviewed a lot of relativelyjunior people, it is now getting a lot closer to donald trump. 0k, jon sopel, thank you very much forjoining us. a quick look at other news around the world. on the fourth day of its afrin offensive, turkish troops been targeting kurdish positions in northern syria with air and artillery fire. turkish media reports ground troops pushing several kilometres into the enclave. kurdish leaders in afrin hav

robert muller is appointed may 17th, 2017. any text messages there. no. the next day they start up again. the five months while the case is in the interesting serious probe, this is the russia collusion nonsense i will call it, the missing text messages are just gone. so what you have a s. a pattern of practice in the agencies. look i was a government lawyer, i worked for the chief council office as a government lawyer can you imagine going to the irs and say i lost my receipts. that doesn't work out too well in the it. >audit.>> yes. miss it would go years, deleted bleachbit, acid watch, destroying blackberries, then stkeby and her t aid with bustd up hard drives in the garage we read. now the five key months and it just started up again the day after robert mueller was appointed. >> sean -- >> all of these people knew she would never get in trouble. they're very clear. there is no ambiguity. >> you know this are two things to point out. i said from the beginning it was a phony investigation. remember also when the department of justice startpugh that in

. >> bret: once we get robert muller's conclusion? >> it's going to be a wild. i can tell you that a lot of people who have gone in and talk to him are convinced this is going to take longer than the white house is suggesting. >> it's going to take longer than that. the question is will it be out before election day in november >> the metaphor >> i don't see we would see any conclusions from him before at least the end of the summer. >> bret: panel, good discussion. thanks. when we come back, notable quotables. switched to geico and got more. more savings on car insurance? a-ha. and an award-winning mobile app. that is more. oh, there's more. mobile id cards, emergency roadside service... more technology. i can even add a new driver... ...right from her phone! geico. expect great savings and a whole lot more. i thought i was managing my moderate to severe crohn's disease. then i realized something was missing... me. my symptoms were keeping me from being there. so, i talked to my doctor and learned humira is for people who still have symptoms of crohn's disease

the subpoena by robert muller for steve bannon to appear before a grand jury is certainly a game changer and marks an escalation in the ongoing probe into trying campaign ties to russia and whether or not there was any collusion it's not likely that bannon will testify before the grand jury but what this does seem to indicate is some strong arm tactics by the special prosecutor essentially there may be some sort of deal making in the works where there is with the promise to cooperate another promise that band will not have to testify before the grand jury but it certainly is problematic for the president given the fact that it is an unraveling relationship between the president and his former chief strategist one that has deescalated into name calling not only has steve van in that book fired fury said that a meeting that donald trump jr participated in with a kremlin linked lawyer was treasonous but of course donald trump for his part has alleged that steve bannon was forced out of the white house because he had in the words of the president lost his mind well this certainly could be so

muller's an investigation that the special counsel we know that he has issued a grand jury subpoena for bad and we just we just learned about this apparently it happened last week. this is of course the investigation between trump's you know associates and russia possible connections to address if he refused to speak to lawmakers in the house can he refuse to speak to muller under this grand jury executive privilege does not apply to grand jury clear criminal investigation so he will be forced as you know reports are coming out to disclose all information any and all information to the grand jury and of course he was not there for that one incident of potential collusion that we're aware of the june twenty sixth meeting between. don jr and to tell you about some of the sky which also included jared push there and others all men afford but he was there so he wasn't there for the alleged potential crime let's say or the scene of the incident but he was possibly there for the cover up everything that happened since including the disclosure last summer all eyes have really been keenly o

how much tougher is what he's going to face whatever happens with the muller investigation as compared to what he's going through today? >> oh, much tougher. because the key thing these committees don't have is they do not know what michael flynn can say about bannon. simple as that. they just don't know. and that's the part -- >> enough to make a deal? >> yes. >> right? >> exactly. >> what do you think happens next here? >> i think what happens next is he goes into a grand jury and is questions. i really don't think there's going to be a simple interview here. >> hold on, i'm getting some information, i'm told we have some other -- let's see. the top democrat on house intel came out. one of the questions we had is would we get any indication from folks who were inside the room about what steve bannon had to say. he had no comment on the progress of the interview so far, no comment on whether the bannon subpoena affects them or how -- effects how they're conducting the business of the interview. so nothing from adam schiff who has certainly not been shy about talking russia, trump and

. >> robert mullers former special assistant at the justice department. thank you for coming in. appreciate it. as we heard steve bannon is set o meet tomorrow. what questions will he face? >> i think in addition to what he talked about with respect to the treason meeting. on june 9. the other things that are of interest to me and would be of interest to the committee is one, the cam bridge analytics. the firm that dealt with wikileakss and part of the kushner effort to target districts. that were vulnerable to the trump message. some think that was helped by russians. that is one aspect that will be covered and bannen said the heart of the case the cup is money laundering. what does he mean by that? remember there is a financial crimes component to what mueller is investigating. the president said he thinks that should be off limits. mueller has thoun shown no indication of heeding that. because he said that's the heart of the matter. all road run through that. that will take a lot of time with respect to bannen. >> let me ask you about quotes. he was quoted make lg some comment

but she did if robert muller i don't see how robert mueller can conclude his investigate by the way the other thing the president said in that news conference with the prime minister of norway was there's no collusion no collusion no collusion everybody agrees everybody knows that's not true that robert mueller has not made that finding and we don't know what he's got so trump keeps saying that it's not true i don't see how muller can complete his investigation without talking to the president number one and number two i don't see how if muller the special counsel request a meeting with the president the united states is the chief target of this investigation i don't see how the white house can refuse that i'm not a lawyer but i think they would have to come to terms with it maybe they'll try to limit it say it's got to be you know no cameras or it's got to be secret or only certain questions are allowed but i think you're going to see in the white house robert mueller sit down with donald trump where you see this whole thing going on here here's what my guess is and there's everybody i

robert mueller is respected by the majority of americans. robert mueller has not charge the president with obstruction of justice. it may be something he considers but at the end of the investigation he will say whether or not there was and if there wasn't i think democrats are going to have a little bit of egg on their face. the president politically should go out and sit down with robert mueller and go under oath. >> harris: you think so? >> i do because this would help him and the nation he, if he puts this to bed and said this is everything i know, if he says so under oath and robert mueller backs that up, that there is no there there, it will help neil the nation and the president and his good graces and honesty ratings and it would help him move forward. >> harris: people who want to protect the president -- you know how it's going to be. these people are professionals at getting you into an encircled position. are you worried about the president being vulnerable in that situation? >> we haven't had the president's lawyers negotiate ho

muller in the russia investigation. the president now saying it may not even be necessary. nbc white house correspondent kristen welker has the latest on all of this. hey, kristen. good morning. >> reporter: hi, hoda. good morning to you. did president trump go off script on the critical issue of russia? that is the question looming over the white house this morning after mr. trump said it seems unlikely he'll be interviewed by special counsel robert mueller. even though according to multiple sources familiar with the negotiations, talks about a potential interview are well underway. this morning, the russia probe in the spotlight yet again after the president repeated his familiar defense on the subject seven times in 90 seconds during a white house news conference wednesday with the prime minister of norway. >> there has been no collusion. there is no collusion. >> there's no collusion. >> reporter: but it's what the president didn't say that is sparking confusion. refusing to directly answer whether he would agree to
