now that president trump is in the white house, do you think the trump organization and the trump family are trying to distance themselves from you? >> i wouldn't say that they're trying. i don't think that i can harm them. >> reporter: it took months to track alexander down and persuade him to sit down for an interview. he asked that we disguise his appearance. he's on the run from the law in panama where he is wanted for fraud. he says he sold hundreds of units in the trump ocean club to people who also went to a lot of trouble to hide their identities. the banks weren't asking where the money was coming from? >> no. never. >> reporter: sounds like nobody was asking questions. >> nobody, no. >> reporter: not you. not the trump organization. not the bank. not the developers. >> nobody checked anybody out. >> reporter: people were spending millions for apartments -- >> they were buying five, ten, 10 units at a time. the money would go to ventura. >> reporter: if you want to know about the flow of dirty money through panama, monty freezener is the man to ask. he was convicted in federal c

as trump? mimicking his issues? >> it ought to if in purple competitive territory for blue. how could a republican get elected by being associated with trump personally or his issues? if you're from deeply red state in north dakota -- >> alabama looks purple right now. you're laughing but even in the polls. >> pretty extreme. that's why. >> one thing i want -- i'll add, may take back the house of delegates as well. looks like 50/50 seat. if i were a house republican in congress, i'd be scared. add this as well. had a great four years of terry mccall's leadership. i think ed gillespie made the case they were tied at hip and you saw what won out. >> for mccall for president? >> he's going to run. >> think he would make an excellent president. >> will you be with him if he runs? >> i'm going to be mayor of richmond. >> mayors can endorse presidents. i love doing this. you don't want to say you're for terry or not. he'll call you tomorrow. >> if he runs for president, he has my endorsement without

trump. >> that night, kellyanne conway, trump's incoming white house counselor was scheduled to appear on his show. >> did printout of that story and i made sure i understood the details of it because obviously it wasn't my expertise. >> he started things out light. >> he is my president. >> good for you. >> he's my president so much it's keeping me up at night. >> and then he got serious, probing conway about the big news of the day. >> i believe it said they did brief him. >> he said he's not aware of that. >> that concerns me. >> he was incredibly prepared. unlike even some news people interviewing her, he would not let her get away with anything. >> i sometimes fear that the president elect has no curiosity as to the amount they tried -- >> that is completely false. he has enormous curiosity. i'm there we arrived him. he has a number of different meetings every day, briefings and otherwise. he was curious enough to figure out america. >> that's a pivoted there, kellyanne. >> he did not let her slip away. i thought it was very effective. it was one of the best interviews he's done.

that's why we love trump and why the fake news media hates trump. the truth is, the media covers of racist hate crimes against white people." well, for more we go to washington, d.c. where we are joined by mehdi hasan, award-winning british journalist and broadcaster at al jazeera english. he is host of the al jazeera interview program "upfront" and a columnist for "the intercept." he is also a contributing editor to the "new statesman" magazine u.k. thanks a much for joining us. can you start off by responding to president trump re-tweeting these videos and explain exactly what this group, britain first, is. first, as the mayor of london pointed out, is a bio extremist group --vile extremist group. it is britain's most wellknown and loathed extremist groups. it was founded by a neo-nazi. it's deputy leader has been convicted for religiously activated -- aggravated harassment of a muslim family. they operate so-called "christian patrol's." they mount "invasions" of british mosques. this is a far right fascist stick -- fascist group. the president of

trump last year. so what's the takeaway from trumpism without trump? h if he were up for reelection in h 2018? >> i think it's really important to remember for context that most people who went to the polls in 2016 voted against donald trump so there was already some degree of expectation that this could happen, especially combined with the fact this is the norm in an off-year. but what i think what is unique is the fact that people are looking at an administration that for ten months has failed to deliver on many of the promises it kpands on. so i think the main takeaway for republican lawmakers is they have to present some significant wins before the 2018 election if they want to motivate their base to come out and support them again. >> former vice president joe biden tore into president trump after tuesday's vote. here is some of what he said at an event in philadelphia. >> did any one of you every think that you would think that you would see in one of the historic cities in america, folks coming out from under rocks and out of the fields with tor

and trump? >>> these are the collected tweets of donald j. trump, volume 1. we had them printed and bound as a physical reminder that his digital words are the sign of our times. and will be studied for centuries. these are his tweets since he declared his run for the 45th president of the united states. his ever-expanding new testament, if you will. but the genesis of this story begins tens of thousands of tweets ago. >> and here to present the top ten list of the "celebrity apprentice" donald trump. >> way back in 2009 when his very first tweet was a plug to watch him read david letterman's top 10 list. >> number 7, sell north dakota to the chinese. >> what's remarkable is on that day, only four people react to it. only four people react to what's arguably the most important influential social media account ever. >> number two, we're screwed. >> yeah, that's right. >> fitting because that tweet marked a real low point. he was coming out of bankruptcy again. "the apprentice" was in a deep ratin

donald trump, jr. releasing exchanges he had with wikileaks' twitter account via direct messages during the 2016 presidential campaign. trump jr. tweeted the exchange shortly after "the atlantic" first reported on the correspondence. much, much more on that story in just a moment. plus a fifth accuser has come forward against alabama senate candidate roy moore. beverly young nelson alleges moore sexually assaulted her when she was a teenager. more than 20 republicans have called for moore to step aside. we've got much more on that story to come as well. let's get to our breaking news right now. newly revealed secrets in the russia investigation. remember when president trump said this just one month before election day? >> this just came out. wikileaks. i love wikileaks. >> so apparently he's not the only one who loved wikileaks. he's not even the only one named trump who loved wikileaks. we've learned tonight that donald trump, jr. had a ten-month correspondence with wikileaks' twitter account via pri

along with donald trump jr. who's also neck deep in all this because he was also at the center of these various contacts with the russians and we have already seen the way mueller like any engs appearanced prosecutor goes after possible perjury or perhaps lying to federal investigators easy to nail someone like george papadopoulos and going after kushner, a donald trump jr. and know where that leads in the end and i think donald trump knows where that leads and we have to be concerned as the investigation moves forward that trump is going to think about trying to get rid of mueller. >> betsy, we have reports indicating tonight mueller is sending range of subpoenas to the trump campaign. and that means, of course, that any destruction or misuse of anything that's under subpoena is in and of itself a crime. >> and it's also an important new report going against what the public statements from folks in the white house and close to the white house have been suggesting. people close to the president and close to the

donald trump today is doing robo cause. donald trump is at 31% in virginia. we'll reject that and move forward as commonwealth. and ralph will be the next governor of the commonwealth of virginia. >> what is your evidence of gillespie running that campaign? >> virginia law does not allow us to have any sanctuary cities. they don't exist. we don't have them. and he ran these ads with ms-13. in the end he had some prisoners there el salvador. they were not even part of ms-13. horrible racist ads. that's not who we are. donald trump, gutter politics. folks are happy here. unemployment now the second lowest of any major state in america. a record amount of investment. a record amount of k-12 investment. people are happy. tonight you'll see a sweep here. >> ed gillespie at other points this his career has worked a wider range of people or even at times across the aisle. does this look to you like a different ed gillespie? do you think donald trump sort of ruined him? >> do i. i've known satisfied very long time. the campaign he's run is not the ed gillespie we've

so materials as we saw there are donald trump paying these are two very different leaders donald trump says they have been able to found a real friendship together but how well do they really get along. well of course we don't know how well they really get along but see jinping is somebody who just tells foreign audiences what they want to hear and he mostly gets away with it and this is exactly what he has done with trump trump might be an easy person to handle in this regard he has been flattering him he has incredibly thin by his vanity he has done some. concessions business wise to trump's. this has worked very well so far i think that persons they also share a common. value with a very very high power and they have. built a strong man they. also is something that brings them to get these materials billing or in beijing thank you very much. and we're some breaking news that's just coming into us a germany's a constitutional court has ruled that the country must legally recognized the third gender of the ruling means germany may become the first european country to offer people the

donald trump. both candidates together barely scratching 2 million. ford. byon york wrote, saying barring any big unexpected evens, trump will lose a lot of seats next year. references those lost by barack obama and bill clinton in their first term. >> understand something, in midterm election, the party that controls white house loses about 25 house seats and 4 senate seats, republicans have to push back on divisive politics that democrats are say, ralph northam ran won of the most racially divisive campaigns that i have seen, ralph northam was seen as a dishonest guy, you cannot allow plan to bureau in and say that, ed's problem is he did not push back. virginia is a blue state, i am not surprised that northam won, i am just surprised by the margin. margin. charles: bree, a quick shift, nation has in how tried and rejected trumpism if you will. taking individual results for example a transgender woman beating bathroom guy who author that bill, are you buying that? >> no, that is silly, i am not s

john, accompanied by barron trump. thank you forp: being here, and welcome to the white house, very special place. entirelf of us and the trump family, i want to wish you and all americans a very happy and blessed thanksgiving, and i hear the that beautiful turkey. we are here today to continue a .onderful american tradition today in the spirit of thanksgiving i will grant a presidential pardon to a turkey. i'm especially pleased that we are joined for this great whittenburg the chairman of the national turkey federation, along with his wife, charlene, and sons nate and wyatt. it was 70 years ago that the national turkey federation first presented the national thanksgiving turkey the president harry truman, who i might add did not grant the pardon. he refused. he was a tough cookie. today, i'm going to be a much nicer president. [turkey gobbles] over the past 10 months, melania and i have had the pleasure of welcoming many, many special visitors to the great white house. we've hosted dozens of incredible world leaders,

"no trump, no war, trump not welcome." you have both sides voicing their opinions. this is quite something. haidi: we talked about the security obviously being the key focus was north korea and how to deal with pyongyang. what about the trade because trump, as a candidate and president, has been fairly critical of the deal with south korea. he actually convinced the south korean government to enter into renegotiations to obama signed,h sealed, delivered, and when into effect in went into 2012. donald trump has said that the south koreans have been "winning" at this deal. the trade deficit is now $28.7 billion u.s. it is the automobiles where there is a complete discrepancy and an balance. of that deficit the united states suffers to the south korean is in the automobile sector. donald trump once south koreans to buy more u.s. automobiles. i have been doing an informal count on the few days i have been here. i have seen three u.s. cars. two chevys, one cadillac. rishaad: do they belong to the acting u.s. ambassador, i wonde

trump lost. a new "washington post"-schar school survey found that nearly six in ten likely voters said mr. trump is an important factor in their vote. the same poll found the president's approval rating among likely voters at only 38%. that sentiment holds true for northam supporter eric anderson, a chemical engineer. >> gillespie has done little or nothing to distance himself from trump, and so i assume he would go along with whatever program trump wants to institute. and that's very worrisome. >> yang: and for gillespie backer alison... how important is it that you elect a governor who gets along with president trump? >> very important. right now, i just want ed gillespie to win so i don't have >> yang: how closely do these voters associate the president and the republican candidate? when you look at ed gillespie, do you see donald trump? >> when i look at him, i don't. but when i listen to him, i do. >> absolutely not. in donald trump, i see more of an opportunist. and i think ed's been a lif

you covered the trump action and trump world closely during the campaign. that's jared kushner's first step anywhere near politics. he's in the white house driveway reading a statement written by his lawyer. it says my businesses never relied on any russian money. today, $850,000 of russian money. >> yeah. it is an amazing thing. you talk to people close to the trump campaign and there's a whole constituency for kushner that says the untold story of the campaign is just how influential kushner was. they'll lobby you on this point because you have people of bannon, you have people like brad parscale saying i won this for drfr. for kushner, he was really influential. in a way, i think it's a -- >> what he did is just that word influence? >> always contacts in the digital world, he helped to design targeting strategies and win in the states we couldn't help to win in. but the point i want to make about it is they walk into the traps where normal people would be like, let's distance ourselves from this. this is hairy now. in stead there's bag droeshso about the

and these are often trump voters. and so democrats could make the case in tv ads next year during the midterms that republicans are just cutting most of their taxes for big cooperations and wealthy, not for middle class hard working americans. so it hurts the plan in terms of advancing it toward the president's desk. >> and when we consider issues like the state and local tax deduction, is it possible congress will never reconcile the house and senate bills in. >> it's is interesting because we see the opposition from republicans such as peter king from new york and lee zeldin in states such as california, new jersey and new york where they benefit from the state and local tax deductions. there are gop quonk mcongressme those states. however in the senate, we don't have gop figures from those states. so this could come down to a major -- this could be a major showdown between the house and senate republicans on this issue that is really dividing them at this point. >> so no bill before thanksgiving. >> you know, it's

and i look forward at that meeting both trump and she were able to say fate has trump learn from now. ginning after the party congress donald trump said that ping had emerged as something like the king of china and he said in the same interview with fox news that he thinks she is a quote very good person how would you say ping and the chinese leadership would be reacting to the statements from donald trump that are nearly falling. as suppose they are not going to react at all because they know how trump can be in predictable. they know that trump has to be very frank. back. to say. the donald trump could play ways pressures very different kind of pressures the bashing is one sort of plea blackmail. and there is this game worse in north korea or with. china sea could also be regarded as a beauty shop a huge stage of pressuring china and then are you saying you know the words they don't trust donald trump no not at all but donald trump doesn't trust either doesn't trust. i don't think so and under his. thumb trump said in the interview that i referred to just now that he has the best re

donald trumps in asia where one name dominates talks north korea the us president says patience with pyongyang and its missile tests is over what is he able to do and what he perceives to washington's so-called pivot to asia this is inside story . and i welcome to the program i'm jane doctrine don't underestimate america donald trump's message as he kicked off his twelve day tour of asia his first as u.s. president trade deals on the agenda but one subject overtakes all tensions with north korea trump again in japan a meeting with a man he appears to see as a new best buddy prime minister shinzo of a lunch of burgers and a round of golf he addressed u.s. forces at the base near tokyo speaking highly of american dominance and promised his troops an upcoming shipment of arms all this talk about u.s. military superiority is related to the conflict with north korea both trump an obvious say all options are on the table the era of strategic patience is over. some people said that my rhetoric is very strong but look what's happened with very weak rhetoric over the last. twenty five years l

trump ice $2,000, may i ask what is trump ice. >> it's a water company. the bill say those are payments for office supplies, don't know if it is just water or what. the question is donald trump is taking money other people are giving his campaign. people have given him this money because they want to advance his political objectives he is using that money to turn into personal profit in his own account. now if that matters to you if you're a trump donor it is good to know maybe trump donors don't care. it's unusual we haven't had a president converting campaign money to personal money on this kind of scale before. >> when you were on trump prompts did you see trends. >> couple trends among the big spenders, one you might expect number of big spenders congressman are big supports, congressman from california spent $11,000 in trump hotel. kelly from pennsylvania and corker, when he liked trump spent a lot of money in the d.c. hotel and you see other members of congress in line for needing something from trump administration who spent had been at the trump h

kim is trying to egg donald trump on and donald trump should remain on message and on his talking point if it is all possible so that he can convince both xi and putin that a military strike is not a for gone conclusion. if he does not, the chinese and russians are not going put additional pressure on kim jong-un. >> the president also makes big promises when it comes to trades and he talked tough on china during the campaign. watch this. >> we cannot cobntinue china raping our country. they're taking our money, jobs and base and manufactures. >> i am going to instruct my treasury secretary to label china a currency manipulator, to label china a currency manipulator? >> david, what's a win for the president? >> he's unveiling a bunch of trade deals, i would agree he's not confronting on trades. a lot of american allies are waiting to see if he's going to confront china. he's backing in the corner where he needs china's corporation and north korea. >> back to his base and voters and promised of all these changes on trades and high paying jobs. i don't think it is coming. >> is there a wi

because trump. i think trump doesn't understand unity. >> we need to think there's another bobby kennedy out there that's going to save us. >> how we can divide. let's have another fight between the north and the south. let's eignite the fight over statues. you know everything. >> read the book. bobby ken by. that's it for our broadcast. brian williams and everyone here will be back. thank you from all much us. good night. >>> tonight on "all in." >> this morning the president launched into a argument with chuck schumer. >> in the wake of an atrocity. >> why was he so quick to go the political route and point fingers at chuck schumer? >> president trump attacks democrats and the american justice system. >> what we have right now is a joke. and it's a laughing stock. >> tonight, how the trump response changes depending on the attacker. >> i don't want to go quicker and just make a statement for the sake of making a political statement. >> then, new reporting that a panicked president is blaming his s

trump's statement we'll take care of this was a classic trump statement. it was about the length of a tweet, it was founded in ignorance, it was inflammatory because it was a lie. we're not going to take care of it, we don't have a way to take care of it, we don't have a way to stop them from their nuclear weapons program. there is one way we might be able to address this and that is if we had an effective diplomatic effort, but at the same time that the administration was talking big, it's been gutting the state department. we don't have people like wendy sherman, who is extremely competent on issues like this, to go in and to work for that diplomatic explosion. and in the end i think that's going to cost us. >> ambassador sherman, what would have happened in a previous white house in a situation like this? >> i think what's david's pointing out is really critical here, which is you have to have an all of government, all of the world strategy. i'm glad the president called -- the president of south korea called the prime minister of japan, i hope he been

comparable to fdr, trump when -- this is part of why i wrote, understanding trump. what nobody in the cities knows is donald j. trump had a prime time 15 years, now, because it wasn't on pbs and because it didn't follow downtown abbey. nobody in the city understood that. nobody in the city said the day he announced a guy who knows television that well is by definition and what trump had done, writes in deal, any publicity which spelled your name correctly, built strength. i actually think he should modify, 10% less trump would be 100% more effective, but he had figured out early on that if he could engage the media, the hunger of the 24-hour day cable news system and the power of facebook and twitter meant that he could take the air out of the room. all of the other guys running around raising money in order to bye tv ads to be on television, trump would get up in the morning, he would tweet, that would set up his argument with morning joe, he would call to morning joe whoa who would always take his call and argue for 25 minutes and he would call "fox & friends" and

trump heads to south korea. he is expected to have bilateral and expanded meetings there, then off to china and beijing. mr. trump will tour the forbidden city with xi jinping with meetings scheduled for the next day. then to vietnam for the apec summit events and makes his final stop in manila for asean meetings in the east asian summit. mr. trump told report hes he believes he will also meet with the leader of russia, vladimir putin, during his trip. the white house says north korea will be the primary topic of that conversation. that meeting likely to happen at the apec summit in vietnam. this, of course, comes as the investigation into russian meddling in the 2016 u.s. election heats up back here in the united states. cnn's jim acosta has more now on the potential impact of a meeting between these two world leaders. >> reporter: when you finally see president trump and vladimir putin come face to face, that image is going to reverberate around the world because obviously these are two men who, you know, you

. >> you mentioned donald trump, just like they did to donald trump. how exactly do republicans who endorse donald trump after the access hollywood tape and after all the allegations against donald trump and the later stages of 2016 campaign say we can be the seat a guy with numerous allegations on him. they open up to months and months and months of laser focus on donald trump. >> i think that's already happened. that's already happened. what was going to happen most likely, but the president himself then has completely thrown a wrench in the strategy. >>> here owe r you have a former police officer saying on the record it was well known that roy moore liked young girls. yet, here the president himself is going after al franken and not saying a word about roy moore. and not in any way saying that he should step aside. >> so mika, how does mitch mcconnell say if roy moore gets elected and by the way, if we had the trump factor during the 2016 campaign. >>> thfl is is the problem of tp republicans have just walked the plank to the point they haven't sai

the message from the top is the party line trumps line murdoch speaks with trump they have a pretty close relationship and so this is kind of a message that we're taking trump's line and when i say the new york times with. much of what pro trump elements in the u.s. news media have produced on the indictments there strange obsession with hillary clinton included seems designed to so uncertainty in the minds of americans on a story that was already complicated and journalists from other outlets in there is evil to get to the bottom of the story may have unwittingly done the same thing by conflating one story with another the charges against trump's one time campaign manager paul manifold for money laundering and fraud all relate to overseas transactions that occurred before he was hired by trump in two thousand and sixteen another campaign aide charged george papadopoulos tried to set up a meeting between trump and lattimer putin but it never happened it is not clear whether either case has anything to do with the other russia angle out there the allegations as yet unproven that the kremli

he's tainted with the trump brand at this point. he ran a trump-like campaign. can he go back to, but remember, i was a george bush flavor good guy. >> it was disappointing to watch how ed gillespie tried to close in the final week his campaign. it was disappointing to watch out his tone shifted from kind of staying away from trump to deciding, well, i have to cozy up and i have to dig in on some of these immigration and confederate statue issues and saying that my competitor isn't tough enough on convicting pedophiles. i have to dig in on those issues. and it wasn't the kind of campaign that i saw as ed gillespie's brand and i think it came off as inauthentic and now the question is how does he recover from that. he's shown that he was willing to go there and failed in the process. >> but what does that teach other republicans? i mean look at this, president trump at the 11th hour going bad on ed gillespie on twitter. i watched a fox news anchor say this is president trump at his worst. there it is. ed gillespie worked hard but did not embrace me or what i stan

and trump versus obama. all eyes on the virginia governor's race that pits a republican candidate who sounds a lot like president trump against a democrat that former president barack obama hit the campaign trail with to support. we'll find out today whose message resonates more. and army of spies. a bombshell new yorker report said disgraced movie mogul harvey weinstein hired private investigators to dig up dirt on his accusers and track journalists. the lengths they went to to stop allegations from being made public. but we start with the latest mass -- the latest on the mass shooting in sutherland spring, texas, and new details on the shooter's violent history toward women and children. today, the air force is admitting it did not properly document a 2012 court-martial conviction for domestic assault on the suspect's wife and stepson whose skull he cracked. the error was meant -- the error meant there was no information in federal databases to prevent him from buying the firearms that he used to kill more

i think they scrambled after the fact to try to develop a relationship with trump and trump's people. there are a few people in the campaign up to i'd enough to sit down with the russians, including his own family. but at the end of the day it didn't make a difference. it gave us a lot of after-burn. lou: wouldn't that be entrapment? gps fusion continues to insinuate itself into almost he unseemly part of this sordid operation known as the clinton campaign. ed: the clinton campaign is a criminal enterprise, as close as i have seen in politics. but at the end of the day, they lost. she is a lousy candidate. lou: i'm fiction agent on fusion gps. ed: you should be. it's very serious. lou: are we going to see accountability? for that operation running a smear campaign. politics of destruction seem mild for what they were doing. ed: the critical question you raced on this show many -- raids on this show many times. i think to a certain extent i go back to the point -- someone should have walked in to donald trump and said this is what's going on and you need to be careful. they are trying

shillor, trump's former bodyguard, testified that he took that offer as a joke and on the way up to trump's hotel room that night, shiller told the billionaire about the offer and trump laughed it off. after he left trumped hotel room, he did not know what happened after that. keith shiller did not know who the russian was who made the offer but it was someone tied to a russian pop star aguilera. while some of the allegations in the dossier have been verified, some has not been. that's why lawmakers want to know if russians had dirt on trump just as they were meddling in the election. >> what else did shiller say? >> they interviewed him for hours about trump and russia connections, about advisers meeting with russia and he claimed he didn't know much since he was in charge of the security for candidate trump but not involved in policy decisions. plus, he was asked about what he knew about the firing of fbi director james comey given he was the one who delivered that letter to the fbi and the day of comey's firing. he said he was not involved in the deliberations leaving lawmakers with more

and then he went on, trump jr. went on to talk about the financial documents that he wanted to see because veselnitskaya came to that meeting with what the russians call kompromat, dirt on major donors, democratic donors called the ziff brothers who had allegedly evaded u.s. taxes on about a billion dollars of money with investments in russia which they repatriated to the u.s. and when this was brought up, the response from donald trump jr. was okay but show us the documents. do you have proof that some of this billion dollars actually went to hillary clinton? and then when veselnitskaya said no, we don't, that's when the meeting was shut down. >> remarkable reporting. henry meyer, senior government reporter for bloomberg news based in moscow, joining us tonight in the dead of night from paris. thank you, sir. i really appreciate your time. thank you. anybody who stays up until 4:00 in the morning in paris just to talk to us rather than to do something more fun than you can do at that hour in paris gets extra thank

president trump is on air force one. president trump is beginning his longest trip to asia in a quarter of a century. the stakes could not be higher. china economic strengths front and center and beijing is showing a potential show down with president trump after he promised to crack down on china ease trade practices. and north korea's brutal regime and refusal to stop its nuclear plan. >> lets get down to ryan nobel. what's on the line there? >> reporter: that's right, you put it very well. the president will have a number of beatings with leaders in the asia specific regions. most of those will be behind closed doors. the most important event that'll take place out in public is the president's speech speaking to the korean assembly which will take place on tuesday, that happens to be election day in the united states. a couple of key races for a governor and virginia taking place at the same time. it will bell telling of what the president said to the korean government about how the united states plans to handle kim j

. >>> tonight, donald trump online one. the president calls "the new york times" directly today to push back against news accounts that describe him as fuming over monday's indictments. >>> plus it's not the normal thing to do in the first 24 hours after a deadly terror attack in america's largest city, donald trump spent the day attacking a top democrat, pushing his hard line immigration policies and calling the american justice system a laughingstock. >>> and the president's political alter ego is pushing for a more aggressive and negative line of attack against robert mueller before it's too late. "the 11th hour" begins now. >>> good evening once again from our nbc news headquarters here in new york. i'm nicolle wallace in for brian williams. new court documents showing a man running down people in a pickup truck told the fbi he wanted to kill as many people as possible and that he felt good about what he did. he was in court for the first time late today in a wheelchair facing a judge and new federal charges. we'll talk

>> first of all, i think that the battle between the media that trump doesn't like and trump has been one of the biggest stories of this year. and after that morning consult poll came out, trump tweeted the results that 46% of the people think that media makes it up. and finally sinking in. he declared victory, one of his goals is to get people to think that the media at large make stuff up about him. and i agree there is a lot of negative coverage in certain mainstream media outlets and there is tremendous demeaning of the press by donald trump, threatening to revoke licenses and threatened to change the libel laws and after individual coverage and every president hated coverage. >> with his constant threats on fake news and donald trump has driven our negatives sky high and my fear that too many journalists and commentaries have taken the bait and pushed back on trump, not just rhetorically and there is a tone that seeps in the reports. we are players in this and we can't win this battle and many feel that we have, and too many in the profession, and a lot of stories and news invest

seems his son donald trump jr. has been photographed actually having hunted elephants, what seems like maybe pressure coming from her family. we don't know what the cause was. again, this is not normal. maybe this is just too much a metaphor of an elephant being killed by donald trump and didn't like it. >> spared this one. big thanks to you all. that does it for our hour. i'm nicolle wallace, "mtp daily" continues now with the fabulous katy tur. >> if it's monday, need we say more? >>> tonight, more silence. >> do you believe his accusers? >> do you believe roy moore's accusers, mr. president? >> thank you very much. >> how president trump's silence about roy moore

trump being trump, one can't predict that. so this official is saying that right now you can't really guarantee 100% that the president is not going to engage in that kind of rhetoric during this speech to the korean national assembly. we should point out this official said the president is going to lay out the contrast between the two crazy and once again state as he has stated throughout this trip that the united states that see back of the south koreans, that the u.s. would come to the defense of the south koreans during any military attack from the north, but at the same time, this official said, they need help from china and russia. so we should expect to hear the president talk about that as well. wolf, with your life we should note, earlier the president attempted to make a dramatic trip up to the dmz that separates north and south korea before this trip. south korean president moon was there waiting for the president because of foggy weather the president had to scrap the terrorism it's unclear whether he was looking f

trump is considering that. i just know he has been very determined to delegitimize any effort to come up with the truth in terms of this investigation. his attacks on the intelligence community and the assessment and attacks on the media. this is an effort to try to undermine those quarters that could pose a serious threat to him. i think it shows the insecurity that he feels about the election and how russian interference may have contributed to that election. i think there is a combination of factors that are motivating the president at this time. >> let's talk more on this with cnn international correspondent in moscow and senior affairs analyst michael weiss. you first. is president trump being played in putin's game or is this cunning strategy on the president of the united states's part? >> i'm not sure whether he is being played, but what we can see in russia is the rugs are happy with what they are seeing and hearing from president trump. one of the things you heard after that meeting in vietnam is that

testified that he told trump about this, trump laughed it off, he waited outside trump's hotel room, left for the night, did not know what happened after that, but one piece of the puzzle here about exactly what happened in russia, schiller denied knowing anything that happened or do not confirm those allegations. >> we haven't confirmed these very dlashs details that are included in that dossier. >> no, and look, i think through the great reporting, look, i think what this tells us about donald trump is not all that much. i actually do think though it tells us a little something about russia. schiller thought it was a joke, testified that, trump thought it was a joke, they laughed about it. because they thought it was a joke, i would offer up, it does not necessarily mean it was. maybe it was a joke if they rejected it, but the point is it would suggest that russia was, and we know russia has done this to tried and true tactic to try to gather information to compromise people they may or may not be targeting. the fact that this -- according to schiller happened, would suggest that t

pro-russia, pro-trump. tries to convince donald trump jr. to leak his father's tax return to them saying, look, this will help us establish credibility so when we release things on clinton that look negative, we can say we're not actually only in your camp. obviously wikileaks did, if fact, view itself from these e-mails as an arm, in effect, of the trump camp. whether the trump camp, you know, directed them or had anything to do with them directly, that's still sort of an open question, i suppose. these e-mails definitely indicate wikileaks saw itself being on one side of the equation, in effect, you know, an arm of one of the campaigns. >> and ned, that's where i want to pick off, that point peter just made, my eyes went there, too. they're kind of wikileaks' own self-knowledge of how they were being viewed. talk about as a member, veteran of the intel community, were they all but viewed as kind of a de facto state actor? >> well, absolutely, brian. you've actually heard that line from cia director mike pompeo, who prior to accepting his c

the day that donald trump jr. tweeted out the special link given to him by wikileaks for more efficient distribution of the stolen anti-clinton e-mails, that same day mike pence went on "fox and friends" and asked if there was any possibility that the trump campaign was in cahoots with wikileaks, and mike pence responded, nothing could be further from the truth. later that day, the trump campaign was actually in cahoots with wikileaks. is that actionable? either in terms of potentially prosecuting somebody or in terms of what investigators or prosecutors might do with that falsehood from the man who is now vice president and from all those other senior people on the campaign? how do you handle a case like this, that's both criminal and counterintelligence, it involved we now know dozens of surreptitious meetings and contacts, some of which are still being exposed for the first time today, now? how do you manage an investigatory mushroom cloud like this one? i mean, if you could invent a person to talk to about tha

trump signature collection. >> welcome to the trump network. >> now i have my own trump home mattress collection. >> at trump university, we teach success. >> trump steaks are the best you can give, and believe me, i understand steaks. it's my favorite food. >> his favorite food. republicans in congress apparently saw that and thought that is just the kind of branding genius we need to name our new tax cut bill. and so what trump came up with is thing 2 in -- actually i can't wait that long. he's insisting they call it the cut cut cut act. the story behind that is thing 2 in 60 seconds. jimmy's gotten used to his whole room smelling like sweaty odors. yup, he's gone noseblind. he thinks it smells fine, but his mom smells this... luckily for all your hard-to-wash fabrics... ...there's febreze fabric refresher. febreze doesn't just mask, it eliminates odors you've... ...gone noseblind to. and try febreze unstopables for fabric. with up to twice the fresh scent power, you'll want to try it... ...again and again and maybe just one more time. indulge in irresistible freshness. febreze unst

i said can trump win? he said, he's going to win if he wins nevada, new hampshire, ohio, and florida. ohio i felt he was going to win. florida i thought his chance were 50-50. new hampshire, thought also 50-50, nevada i thought he would lose. the early vote for democrats was massive. said can he lose nevada and win a blue state? he looked at me like i fell off the moon. couldn't imagine. the next day he won three of those blue state, pennsylvania, michigan, and wisconsin. wisconsin was really the one that clinched it, and it was the one that no pollsters saw. larry, my co-author said his team predicted trump's victory everywhere except wisconsin. once wisconsin lit up, then i said, okay, now you can pop the champagne corks, this over. took three or four mother hours for the networks to call and it standing around me was the press corps and people were crest-fall but they did their jobs and we were there at the end. the breitbart crew, and realizing that donald trump was going to be the next president of th

think being against donald trump may be enough. i think, you know, there is always this mythology you need an alternative platform. >> in 2018 it's enough. >> one election at a time, gloria. >> it may be enough in the midterms, but it isn't going to be enough in 2020. if you really want a swoeep, yo have to make sure your candidate matches your voters. >> that's a good point. >> you can't run cookie cutter candidates. >> you're going to be hearing a lot about donald trump from democratic candidates in the next -- >> all right. thanks guys very much. we'll be hearing a lot about the president in the upcoming elections. >>> just ahead, north korea demands the united states remove president trump from office, calling him a lunatic old man. was the regime responding to a new personal attack from the president? >>> breaking news, as president trump launches a personal attack against kim young un, north krae is calling trump a lunatic old man and demanding he be removed from office. what's the latest? >> reporter: many observers say toni

close to donald trump. what did donald trump tell flynn? flip someone there, senior level, access to conversations, suddenly, and reports. then call up -- of course, mueller will have trump himself testify and then -- well, we hear you said this. is that true? no. never said it. trump says -- someone else in the room is under oath saying you did say it. i think flynn is a very important figure here. >> and eli, ask you a question. donald trump, would steve bannon let donald trump say, ah, steve bannon didn't do much. my own political adviser, and rinse priebus, ah, hardly new paul manafort. but mike flynn, mike flynn was a guy donald trump saw to ask jim comey, director of the fbi, to let go, see to it to let him go. donald trump is barely that loyal to his ex-wives. what does mike flynn have on donald trump? >> well, that's a great question. i mean, mike flynn was there throughout the campaign. he was very close to trump. he was at almost every rally in the motorcades. he was at trump's side and there through most of the first month of the
