campaign events back home live this hour. kiersten jill brandt in new hampshire. beto o'roarke in iowa on his first full day as a candidate. >> why shouldn't voters be concerned about voting for you with your lack of experience? >> that answer along with what he's saying about whether the president should be impeached. plus here in washington, a declaration of semi independence. a dozen gop senators breaking with president trump. what the national emergency vote tells us about the president's standing with his friends on the hill and our latest reporting on the timing of the veto. our timing is covering this across the country and around the world. we begin with breaking news on the terror attacks at mosques in new zealand. we heard from the homeland secretary who says there's no specific or credible threat to the u.s., but she warned all americans should remain vigilant. confirmed a total of 49 people are dead. dozens more have been hurt. some of them in critical condition. police say they have the gunman behind at least one of the mosque shootings. this morning we're getting chi

last year. joining me now is nbc news justice correspondent pete williams and jill wine-banks, former assistant watergate special prosecutor and msnbc legal contributor. pete, what's significant about the timeline here? you know, we've noted that there were a series of headlines in july of 2017, when this was unfolding, about that trump tower meeting. >> yeah, i don't know whether the trump tower had anything to do with it or not. the fact is robert mueller is appointed in may. by july he's already seeking search warrants to look at financial records for michael cohen. now, what we learned from the documents that were unsealed today is, they were basically looking at two things. bank fraud, and that ultimately led to one of the charges he was convicted of, the whole thing with the taxi medallions. and something he wasn't charged with, which is failing to register as a foreign lobbyist. and what the documents say is that he had been paid by several companies, a swiss company, novartis, another swiss company owned by a russian, a kazakh bank, and also the korean aerospace compan

o'donnell, thank you. >>> let me bring in jill winebanks. here on set, aaron blake, senior political reporter for "the washington post." gabby orr for politico and ken is still with us, too. jill, let me go to another piece of this puzzle. it's a little confusing for folks who have listened to cohen's testimony. he talked about these edits being made in a document related to trump tower moscow. here's what he said. >> there were changes made, additions. jay sekulow for one. there were several changes that were made, including how we were going to handle that message. the message, of course, being the length of time that the trump tower moscow project stayed and remained alive. >> okay. so now cohen's attorney, jill, is saying something a little bit different. he says the changes were made by cohen under the guidance and in accordance with the white house. what is going on with the counsel that cohen is receiving here and this -- what seems to be hair splitting? >> it isn't hair splitting. in a case like this, one wrong move can really be used against cohen in dramatic ways. so it's r

rucker, pulitzer prize-winning white house bureau chief for the "washington post." jill colvin, white house reporter for the associated press. and harry litman, a doj veteran, former u.s. attorney and former deputy assistant attorney general under president clinton. he also happens to be the creator and executive producer of the new podcast "talking feds," which we assume to be a tip of the hat to david byrne. welcome to you all. and harry, i have a couple for you, starting with the process of what happens with michael flynn. flynn wants a delay in sentencing. the mueller folks say we're done with him. what's the consequence of this? >> well, it's odd, because the first thing you want to know is have they milked him for all the information. that gives the biggest clue about where the probe is. and normally you would think that if flynn is saying i'm needed for a trial in 90 days, that the prosecution would be seconding it. on the contrary, they've said no, we take no position. he's on his own. so it looks to me more like a bid for flynn to persuade the court who remember was harsh on

wilson walsh consulting and jill tucker,"s francisco chronicle" education reporter. welcome to you all. >> thank you. >> jill, the cnlege admiss scandal has roots here in northern california. the bribes, many were funneled through a foundation based in sacramento. can you tell us what happened with the $20 million that that foundation took in? where did it go? >> $25 million. it not toward nonprofit good will and programs for underprivileged kids as thet nonproclaimed. it actually went to funnel to coaches andop other p at universities to helpealthy and actresses, doctors, ceos,ret thids into the college of thir choice. you looked through the tax documents. oneth said made donations to friends of cambodia. >> yes. and we never heard of these eople. we certainly have never gotten a dime. so far, we haven't identified really any of the money funneling toward charitable cau causes or helping disadvantaged youth. it seems that all that money helpedyo advantagedth and their parents and the people like mr. sier who was arrested and pleaded >> can we expect to see more? >> i think it's the ti

bring in everybody to join the conversation. jill winebanks, carolyn palisi, charlie savidge, and alexi mchammond and eugene scott and pete williams. pete, let me go to you here and your thoughts. particularly when he talks about the guidance he believes the doj has as it relates to his potential liability, give us some of the fact check or reality check there. >> well, if what he's saying is that there's been no indictments of anybody by robert mueller for basically the reason robert mueller was given his homework assignment, the facts speak for themselves. nobody has been dwooit indicted for that, and everything points to robert mueller's investigation being over. we don't know when the mueller report is going to come. we're on a day today thing here. it could come any day now. every day we have reasons to think it might be today or it might not be, and we're sort of at a 50/50 posture. it seems like that report will come within a matter of days. and that tells you that the mueller investigation is over and that this central finding is -- that there hasn't been any so-called col

legal contributor. and jill wine-banks, a former assistant watergate special prosecutor and an msnbc legal analyst is with us. congressman, i want to begin with you and the ways and means committee, your attempt to obtain the president's tax returns. this is a power that the senate finance committee has with its jurisdiction over taxation and the house ways and means committee has with its jurisdiction over taxation. it is rarely used. in my years working as the staff director of the senate finance committee i never saw it used. so the system is a little rusty about actually how to use it. does congressman neal feel that he has all the legal counsel he needs now to proceed with asking the irs to deliver donald trump's tax returns? >> well, that would really be for him to say. i have confidence in him and the approach he's taken here. clearly the evidence grows by the day of a potential criminal enterprise here. and we have our work cut out, given the confidence that we need in the tax system for the american people, given the role that the president can play in tax law and tax admini

home to meet his mom, jill. >> i liked her a lot. probably number one thing that struck me the most was how -- beyond her years in maturity she was. >> poised, huh? >> yeah. sarah didn't have a problem telling anyone anything. so if you -- made sarah mad, you knew you made sarah mad. >> as for ryan he never seemed to lose it. >> never seen him upset. he doesn't get mad. >> he is so laid back and easy going, go with the flow. she is so on it organized this is where we have to be? he just says okay. >> jill enjoyed her days with ryan and his new girlfriend, sarah. >> our family tends to do a lot of barbecues and picnics and things like that. we would spend some time down on the lake in kentucky. they would come down there. >> were you please she'd was becoming a serious part of the family? >> i was very pleased, yes. >> reporter: the couple bought a nice four bedroom house together in a good neighborhood and ryan surprised sarah with an engagement ring. >> the ring in a dog collar. >> around the dog's collar. >> she was very excited. he was excited. sarah made him happy. >> reporter:

the election. joining me is nick ackerman and jill winebanks both watergate prosecutors and paul butler professor at georgetown university school of law and nick you're here at the table with me. i want to start by getting people to understand because i think after the manafort sentence people were shocked by it and those who want to justify it saying it's a white collar crime. before you were in the watergate world you prosecuted things like tax evasion and money laundering. why is that a crime that's significant to the american people? >> it's extremely significant because if the tax system isn't working we have a volunteer tax system, money laundering is important, i mean, if people are not obeying the law and a lot of this is self-regulatory and you don't have a deterrent effect on this the whole system can break down. >> yeah. >> with respect to this particular situation with the manafort sentencing, i mean, i think one thing that a lot of people missed is that there is a real philosophical difference between judge ellis and john sirico the unsung hero of the watergate case.

feeling about what airspace the airport will want. nice landing. jill and pete harmer have been gliding for 60 years between them. ——jill and pete harmer have been gliding for 80 years between them. we all want to go on holiday in a commercial aircraft so we are concerned about safety but we just want to work together. what we don't want is the grab of even more airspace that they don't really use. exeter airport first applied to caa for controlled airspace in 2017. the caa agreed it was needed but turned it down. it said there would be a significant impact on other airspace users. exeter basically wanted too big a chunk of sky. exeter is now re—applying and a decision is expected in 2020. in the meantime, its submission has raised questions over the impact of uncontrolled airspace on those who have to supervise it, the air traffic controllers. former air traffic controller mike mora says, for him, the strain was too much. you feel that something serious is in some ways out of your hands because you can't provide the pilots with the safety they deserve especially when they're carr

regret will be you did not comply with the law. back with us tonight is joe winebanks. jill, first of all, your reaction to the sentencing here. my reaction of the sentencing is that it is not a fair sentence. it is way too light in comparison with what other defendants get. not just in white collar cases but it highlights the in equity and our system where poor defendants commit a crime of possibly stealing $100 to serve their family gets five to ten years and he got four years. it is not consistent where you read the part about him having no remorse. to have no remorse and rewarded a light sentence is inconsistent. when he says i hope you'll reflect on it, he should have given him more time in jail to reflect on it. >> what's the danger of having a president misquote a federal judge? >> it is the danger that we have everyday with donald trump misleading the public. he says things that people will believe because he had said them. when they aren't hearing what the real fact is. the judge, first of all, it was a total red herring for him to comment on this. the case had absolutely

. i owe so many of you my wife jill does so many of you. my son hunter and my daughter you -- owe many of so many of you can read the owee wide and family -- so many of. the way you embraced our beau. being such anook integral part of the state. i particularly want to thank the governor who was there, actually all of the elected officials. the governor who is basically wife, oneong with his of the things you do if you are a smart public -- public official, you hire people brighter than you. i am serious. not a joke. one of the brightest people i have ever known in my life. but i look to you, david, the way you not only treated beau when he was coming up, but the way you treated him when he was dying, and the way you continue to treat his memory. i think it is every father and mother's dream to raise a child -- my dad used to have an expression, he would say, you know your success is apparent when you turn and look at your child and realize they turned out better than you. beau was better than me.

question the mueller report has not answered and jill wine banks, an msnbc legal analyst. and jill, i want to start with you on your reaction to william barr's letter, what you see in it. >> well, one, i'm very surprised at mueller's supposedly not making a decision. and of barr making that decision. the only thing that makes sense to me is that mueller intended for the decision to be made by congress, much like happened in watergate. we did not indict. we issued a report of the facts. we summarized the evidence. that's really all the pages of it were mostly just an appendix listing, the transcripts we were attaching. and we sent it to the congress for them to make the decision because it was a political judgment that needed to be made. and that makes sense to me. it does not make sense that a special counsel, who's supposed to be independent of the department of justice would let the attorney general make that decision. to that's the first thing that occurs to me. the other is that he is not exonerated. he the president has not been exonerated of either charge. even if it was clear,

, paul butler, sally cohn, jill wine-banks in from chicago, now an msnbc contributor, and mark thompson, host of the show of make it plain on serious xm. olivia, let me start with you. you're digging into the president's compulsive phone habits as you call them and go in search of his rolodex. you piece together this list of who he's calling. and i imagine him doing this furtively at night. who's he calling? give us a sense who he likes to get advice from in. >> it seems like it's a band of his friends and acquaintances and frenemies in the media and people in business, a lot of billionaires across various industries, you know, in total a lot of sports team owners and people like rupert murdock, robert kraft, folks like that. >> describe what that means. bill shine as we talked about last hour, on his way out of the white house. he learned a valuable lesson here. what was it how one can advice or try to advice as president? >> it was interesting that bill shine's decision was announced and was speaking to someone knowledgeable his decision, and they told me that he came to real

is jill wine banks, former prosecutor and msnbc contributor. jill, let me ask you out of the gates right now. the sense is if robert mueller's winding down, this thing is all done. but this demonstrates the desire to talk to rick gates the next couple of months, next sentencing update isn't until may 14 but the tentacles, is the dny, eastern district of virginia, they're going to go on for a while. >> absolutely. i'm not one who's been predicting a speedy resolution of the mueller investigation. i said i haven't seen any clues. and yesterday there was the clue about mr. weismann resigning and that made me think maybe they're wrapping up. but today i went no, they're not. if rick gates is still in play, they're not wrapping up. >> there's different segments to them. even if mueller's specific probe wiepds down, the other elements continue. >> exactly and there's so many tentacles, not just the new york d.a., not just the southern district, or virginia, but others in mueller's office. roger stone, the search of his house led to a delay in any proceedings about him because there was s

our country. jill wine-banks, ron reagan and carlos curbelo. ron, i read what you thought about trump. i don't know what to make of it. going after a man that's passed away. we used to say in society, say no ill of the dead. what's he doing? what's trump up to with his weird attempt to assassinate a guy who's already gone? >> well, trump is being trump. trump is a coward and he's somebody who looks normal human decency. what is it about john mccain that sets him off? john mccain was everything donald trump isn't. john mccain was a man of integrity and a man of great courage. we all remember that moment with the thumbs down that killed trump's chance to undo obamacare. i'm sure he's never mccain for that. and it's not going stop him that john mccain is now dead and can't fight back. that's perfect for trump. he loves a target that can't fight back. it really is low. it doesn't get much lower than this. >> congresswoman, i get the sense that trump feels -- i get the sense that he feels that something is coming. he's been in a frenzy lately. he's been shooting in every direction, even at

expect to see him weigh in. >> jill, ben wittis, we love to go right to ben to get his take on what's going on. his take is that we don't know what we don't know. from the nonindictments, all we can really speculate on is that either mueller has decided he couldn't prove anything that would be criminal or he's decided he didn't choose to keep whatever he found that might be criminal within his own jurisdiction. so that might be a reason why some people are saying to be cautious. there are still 16 other investigations going on out there. >> there is another alternative which is he decided to follow the rule of the department of justice which is not law, just policy that the president can't be indicted. that could explain why there is no indictment of the president. it doesn't explain why there is no indictment of the children or other colleagues for the obstruction or for the conspiracy of russia. we'll have to wait and see whether he says there wasn't evidence or there was evidence but it couldn't be used for one reason or another. either it involved national security that would be p

her head. he denied posing it himself. joining me now is former water gate prosecutor. jill, i don't know where to start with roger stone. we had various conversations over the last two years. this guy is a department of his own. he's a self-proclaimed dirty trickster. he has a picture of nixon tattooed on his back and put up a picture of the judge with cross hairs. let's start with that. doing something that could be implied as threatened can't ever be good for you. >> it can't be good for you. the judge was lenient given the circumstances. he was ntd a flight risk. so she didn't revoke his bail. she just needed to control his speech in order that he not threaten the trial. >> people think of gag orders is something that stifles speech. often the gag order is to say you need not talk so you don't prejudice you. >> if the defendant is talking and prejudicing the jury pool the prosecutor isn't talking because they abide by proper rules. we don't talk. we let our talking be done in the courtroom. they can't defend themselves when he keeps saying things like it's a hoax, it's a witch hu

jill wine-banks and joyce vance and glenn kirschner. it's been a while three hours. up now, our special coverage of the mueller report will continue with ari melber in washington, d.c. >> good evening. i'm anchoring live from washington with the first excerpts we have seen of the mueller report. president trump returning to the white house, he's breaking his silence to welcome the new letter from hand picked attorney general barr and asserting that the president did not obstruct justice. now, here are the facts. first, the mueller probe did add without indictments for lack of conspiracy and collusion and the barr letter, this is the biggest news of the night if not the year, it did note that. this did not exonerate president trump from obstruction of justice. that whole issue remains open and that's according to the best presentation of the evidence on behalf of donald trump by his own attorney general barr. this is what you need to know tonight. barr's letter today, tonight, tries to go much farther than what mueller found on obstruction. and you're going to hear a lot about th

the olympics in tokyo next year. jill douglas and sir chris hoy have sent us this... the well track championship. it has been an exciting afternoon. no metals by great britain, but outstanding performances nevertheless. let's talk about the man at sprint, holland had been great all week, but that was something special. but the gold and silver, harry wenning, that meant they had the gold come at the sprint, utterly dominant performance but that made it seem sprinting. they have set the bar, australia, certainly up there as well. finishing at that place in the metal table for britain. should be lower oui’ table for britain. should be lower our expectations when it comes the next yea r‘s our expectations when it comes the next year's 0lympics could yell at the bar has been raised, no doubt, but and will be looking to see how they can possibly improve, but they have shown time and time again that they can break the very best, displays, equipment, everything when it comes to the games but that that ta kes it comes to the games but that that takes nothing away from the australians and
