brian williams opinion day 169 of the trump administration saw the president trump who spent most of the 169 days of his presidency under the specter of the russian role in 2016 election sitting down with vladimir putin. the meeting was scheduled 30 minutes and lasted more than two hours. in front of the ca

justice correspondent pete williams, and as we come to you, i note we have a little news, dianne feinstein ranking democrat on senator judiciary has told a group of reporters and cameras outside the hearing room, she, unless evidence comes up that changes her vote, is a yes vote on mr. wray to be the next fbi director. >> it may end up being unanimous. al franken said at the end of his questioning, i think you had a good hearing here today. really didn't have any members of the democratic party indicating they wouldn't vote for him. so what you this is christopher wray checking all the boxes, saying no one asked him for a pledge of loyalty that he wouldn't give one if he was asked, he was asked what if the president asked you to do something illegal, he said i would try to talk him out of it, and if that didn't work, i would resign. he defended robert mueller, special counsel investigation, said he wouldn't describe it as a witch-hunt. and then he had a very interesting line on james comey. on the one hand, he said he certainly wouldn't describe him as a nut job as the president

, of course, brian williams and just the drama of what was happening. and the grainy cspan pictures, because that's all we're allowed to watch. watch john mccain put his arm around dianne feinstein after standing up against mike pence with mitch mcconnell's body language slumping and then finally seated as they all sat down to take their votes. i mean, all the milling around and arm twisting stopped. it was one of those moments we've seen. a moment unlike any other in that it was a seven year effort and it was asking them to vote for something that they were promised would never become law. >> what did you expect? what i find interesting, and i think a couple of less covered parts of this, john mccain is not getting criticized by many -- any senate republicans as far as i could tell today, publicly or privately. you know, there had been a running assumption if this went down in the senate it wasn't going to go down by one vote, it was going to go down by ten. the surprise was that somebody was willing to be the deciding vote, in this case, john mccain. if you think the position he i

. >> it's just -- >> it moves so fast. >> the incoming is unbelievable. in just a little bit brian williams will be covering the confirmation hearing for fbi director nominee christopher wray. first chris jansing picks up the coverage right now. >> thank you, joe and mika. i am chris jansing in for stephanie ruhle. this morning, damage control. don junior telling what happened in that meeting. >> in retrospect i probably would have done things a little differently. >> and whether or not there may

be unrecognizable to william buckley, or ronald reagan, or so many other republicans. the conservatives are supposed to be for smaller and more responsible government. they're supposed to be for a rational foreign policy, and bob costa, if you go back, forget about donald trump for one second. you go back when george w. bush was president. he promised to be a small government conservative and talked about a very restrained foreign policy. we actually got record setting deficits, record setting debts, a foreign policy that was so utopian it would make woodrow wilson blush, and now you look at donald trump and the budgets he's proposed. you're looking at a president that's going to take a $20 trillion national debt to a $30 trillion national debt. there is nothing conservative about donald trump. nothing. he's been a democrat for most of his life. he discovered birtherism in 2011, and republicans are literally following him over an ideological cliff. the question is why isn't there more of a resistance against this guy who's been a democrat most of his life? who now is not e

william faulkner on acid. the senate should keep going on, they're garbled and make absolutely no sense. mike barnacle, i think i felt sorriest at this point for donald trump's attorneys as somebody that was an attorney once, not a good one, but an attorney all the same. i feel so sorry for those attorneys because this is a guy that damages himself every time he does a major interview. what you want, what you usually have to do within are you investigating somebody is you have to compel them to speak through discovery, through interrogtories or through depositions. and you have to drag them in, their attorney fights them to say as little as humanly possible. here is donald trump every day just doing a brain dump. saying this is what's up here. i want everybody to know everything and i'm going to say it in long convoluted sentences. >> well, first of all the faulkners are on the phone, they will sue you for linking william faulkner to trump's transcript. look the president of the united states happens to be a lawyer's nightmare and a prosecutor's dream. i mean given the rambling anecdota

read you a quote from one of the founding fathers, william patterson. he said look well to the characters and qualifications of those you elect and raise to office and places of trust. what does that mean? it's to your point. at some point the president of the united states is reflecting our values, when we say and people at my barbecue were saying oh, it doesn't matter, nobody cares. the overwhelming majority of people at my barbecue think that the rock will be one of the top contenders in 2020. i was mortified because they were very serious because they really think that donald trump opened a door we will no longer elect people who are governors or senators. we're going to go down this celebrity kind of anything goes abyss. i think that's dangerous for this country. i really appreciate your question because i do think this is a mirror for us and i think we're failing this test badly right now as a country. >> sophia nelson, charlie sykes, appreciate your insights on this fourth of july weekend. have a good one. we'll come to your barbecue next year, boy the way. >> absolutely

the hedge fund manager who backed it working to spread information about william. it so happened that man is with me right now. he is getting his reaction for the first time. first some context. he was a hedge fund manager when he says his lawyer uncovered information about a multi-dollars corruption scheme tied to the russian government. soon after this man was arrested and jailed and when he died in jail brouder went to washington urging them to pass the act named for bill brouder's lawyer. congress passed it in 2012. it enranged putin. people who were close financially to putin. in response russia imposed restrictions on american adoption of russian children. both the russians wiin that meeting have fought the act. donald trump jr. said the meeting was about adoptions. now to bill who will be testifying before the senate judiciary committee next week. he is the author of red notice. going to talk to you. we agreed to have this conversation before i knew that this lawyer had spoken to the wall street journal and was going to bring your name up and said her business is talking about

williams lost her chance to set a record after she was beaten by spain's garbine muguruza. too bad for her. >>. >>> questions continue to surface about the latest gop health care proposal. two insurers asking mitch mcconnell to remove ted cruz's aemtd amendment to sell premiums with less benefits. they call it unworkable in any form. this morning, president trump addressed health care in his weekly address. >> i am pleased to report that we have very, very close to ending this healthcare nightmare. we have so close. it's a common sense approach that restores the sacred doctor/patient relationship. and you are going to finally have great health care hat a lower price. >> this weekend, top trump officials, including vice president mike pence, o & b director nick mulvaney and health and human services secretary john price are in rhode island trying to garner support at the national governor's association gathering. >> the simple truth, though, is, obamacare is imploding all across america and working family and small businesses are paying the price every day. there after being unveile

with some of those russian players involved in that meeting, william browder, it is great do have you with me. as we think about how much has kind of been unearthed just this month about what happened a year ago, and the talk of the magnitsky act, would it surprise you if your name came up in that meeting? >> i'm quite certain that my name did come up in the meeting. in fact, natalia veselnitskaya, the russian lawyer who was present there, has gone on various television stations to say that she had made -- provided various documents about me and magnitsky in that meeting. and so i'm quite sure that i was one of the subjects of that conversation. >> bill, why do you think that you would become such a nemesis to veselnitskaya, to vladimir putin, the kremlin as a whole? >> well, it's pretty simple. so my lawyer, sergei magnitsky, was murdered in 2009 after uncovering a $230 million government corruption scheme. putin was a beneficiary of that scheme. i then lobbied very hard to get sanctions in place in the united states which ended up in the magnitsky act in 2012. what that means is tha
