jim cooper's district. that would be an interesting race right there, jim cooper, house democrat who's managed -- one of the democrats who managed to hang on in tennessee. as tennessee has gone more and more. again, you have a senate race here. one of the questions is is the margin in the senate race going to be so much that maybe it helps another republican in another place? we'll watch this one play out, but we'll keep an eye on jim cooper there. again, democrats need to pick up a net 22 now. 23 at the beginning of the night. they have one in virginia already. as you're going through that, you're checking your list. are we going to lose e any of ours? looking at house district democrats, it makes you nervous because tennessee is so competitive. jim cooper. the race in texas is gone. a minute ago i told you we'll see if that holds up. that's now gone. the democrat is back ahead in that district. you have 16 democrats leading in republican-held districts. two republicans leading in h democratic-held distric

linda sanchez, jim cooper, and these are some representative elects who have said they oppose her. ben mcadams, a democrat running against mia love also signed, but not secured a win in his congressional race. .atrick in florida this week in washington, what are your thoughts on what is happening here? caller: i am glad the house got taken over by the democrats. maybe challenge trump a little bit. things, c-span, you did not bring up that report where four u.s. soldiers got killed and 6 officers got demoted or relieved of command and you spent two years on benghazi and i am still goding for your famous squad, gary bauer and ralph freed and all the other guys you brought out for 8 years on the chantn chance about -- about family values when we have a guy who talks on his -- cheats and yakkedd wife about deficits under obama and nothing about trump. c-span typical of because you compare democrats to brownshirts. i guess your stability tour ended and he did not mention his little quips about the parkland shooting. he said "i have never seen so many kids cry since there parents told hi

jim cooper of tennessee who voted against her before. he is not folding. let's see how many do and how they explain, those that do fold, how they explain it to the people back home. remember, a lot of them were very clear about this under no circumstances will i support her. colorado, maine, these people were not unclear about it. she is a tough character, i know. i saw her up close and personal for seven years and she is tough. and she is backed by a strong, very liberal members of the house. in the democrat caucus, they make things like committee assignments and designates the chairs and designates subcommittee chairs and so forth. she has influence. >> bill: her phrase was a transitional position. we'll see how long the transition lasts. >> that was another point the "wall street journal" made. she doesn't want to be a transitional figure. if the democrats retake the white house in 2020, she wants to be speaker of the house like she was when barack obama came into office in 2009. >> bill: i like the white board. hope you had a great turkey. >> sandra: f

but there are still crucial questions to be answered in this investigation where is jim marcus should use body and who ultimately give the order to kill him alan something else i'm warning if you could update us on that is the israeli prime minister weighing in on this investigation. well we know that there's been an international aspect to this investigation since the very beginning in fact all mark chile choose the sports past and for the cave party the ruling party and talking not part of the government but he is a spokesman for the party he is saying that turkey has acted within international norms and the acted when they could when they had the evidence to do so and they didn't rule out the fact that they may go for international support to try and get the eighteen people company held in saudi arabia extradited to turkey to face justice here that turkey has called on a number of allies but they know that saudi can also play the game as well they've got supporters in the white house and of course they now have the voice of benjamin netanyahu adding to their backing that he's been

he pleaded guilty to additional charges and agreed to cooperate with mueller's investigations. reporter jim acosta says he reporter jim acosta says he wants to go back to work, covering president trump. a federal judge today ordered the trump administration to immediately return acosta's press credentials after they were revoked following a tense exchange at a white house news conference last week. or than 50 members of the press corps greeted acosta as he walked through the northwest gate of the white house. jim: i have to say that in addition to my face in the bill of rights, the constitution, the amendments to the constitution that protect our jobs over here at the white house, i was also confident in our system of justice in this country. and, you know, this is why we have three branches of government. we have checks and balances. and that is the way it should work. mark: bloomberg was one of several news organizations that filed a friend of the court brief supporting cnn. and onnews on air twitter, powered by more than 2700 journalists and panelists in over 120 countries.

however we just heard from his attorney, jeffrey toobin come back in with me and jim, what was really significant was the few words that was said, michael cohen has cooperated and will continue to cooperate. to your point, jeff? >> this is, you know, a collapsing story that -- remember, the core of donald trump's view -- donald trump's statements about his relationship with russia, business relationship with russia is at any time have one, that there was nothing there and here we have michael cohen saying, under oath, admitting that he lied previously saying, there was this business relationship and it was going on during the campaign, during the time that the candidate trump now president trump was making all these overtures to vladimir putin and to russia and the question that has always been is why. why was donald trump so solicitus of russia and michael cohen's statements here suggest the reason was money? the reason was, donald trump had business interests with russia during the 2016 campaign. >> as we look at the documents, i just want to correct something i said earlier. he sai

he is somebody who gives opinions way to get confusing after a while, same thing with anderson cooper or chris cuomo. they are anchors, therefore, they should be on their asking questions and gathering information, or jim acosta at white house briefings, gathering information instead,g all these people share their innermost feelings on certain topics, their emotions, they debate in certain situations, and that is notnd with the job is. i think that is where mistrust comes to within people watching at home and watching the media, they don't know who the anchors are from the opinion people, from the pundits anymore. >> sean: i don't hear any of these people -- >> when they hear a side being given, they don't know what to conclude. it sounds like you are trying to draw theio viewer to a conclusin instead of them letting them draw their own conclusions, conclusions. i think it is a big problem. >> sean: i admit i'm a talk show host. we sometimes do straight news, sometimes opinion, sometimes investigative reporting. but we tell you that we do it all. they say they do one thing. they don't

manafort begin to cooperate, offer full cooperation, to the special counsel's office? >> we can only speak to what our role is in that process and not only has the president but the entire administration has been fully cooperative with the special counsel's office providing hours and hours of sit downs as well as over 4 million pages of documents. we continue to be cooperative but we also know there was no collusion and we're ready for this to wrap up. >> no collusion. we have heard that many times from the president, the white house. it remains to be seen if we will hear that from robert mueller himself. just a few moments ago, as if on cue, at least to bookend the day the president tweeted another verbal attack similar to the ones from this morning. jim acosta joins us from the white house. sarah sanders kept responding no collusion. we know that phrase for a long time. she appeared to be making a point of defending only the president this time and not his campaign. >> that's right. i think that sound bite you played demonstrates that pretty well. when she was asked

now, as we understand it, this is an informal cooperation. it is not -- it falls short of what we understand a joint defense agreement to be because it is less formal. but jim and poppy, this is essentially paul manafort and his team trying to have their cake and eat it, too. on the one hand, they struck this plea deal two months ago. paul manafort is supposed to be the star witness helping the mueller probe along as they look into possible collusion between russia and the trump campaign. but then at the same time, they are feeding this information to the president's team about the direction that the mueller probe is going in. and what that does is it helps the president's team shape their legal and public relations strategy. so is this paul manafort possibly fishing for a presidential pardon? maybe. he's not looking in good shape. we saw just this week the special counsel's office say that over the last two months that manafort has repeatedly lied to them and as a result mueller and his team have asked for a date for sentencing for paul mana

the story was jeff sessions not jim acosta. the night ended with jim acosta. >> you used the word "martyr" and that is exactly right. jim acosta is very accomplished at playing the victim, being a victim of circumstance, being in these situations. personally, the white house wins here. they should not have revoked his press pass because it makes him the martyr. in the last administration under president obama, in president obama's first 36 solo press conferences, do you know how many times fox got called upon? 14 times. the least of any major news organization. what they should have done was, don't give him the oxygen that he wants in terms of his attention. they should have just blocked him out and sent the message way. >> brian: thank you so much. meanwhile, it's time for "final exam." can you beat the experts at remembering the most famous news of the last week? that's next. and i've been hitting the road on my book tour.

i'm not going to comment on that. >> you look forward to working with jim jordan, if he is the leader. >> absolutely. we look forward to working with whoever the republican leader is, and i hope they will work with us. >> on over all leadership, nancy pelosi has guaranteed she will be the next leader. but 17 members signed a letter saying they will not vote for nancy pelosi as speaker. are you 100% certain she will be the next leader. >> well, i'm not 100% certain because i'm not going the vote count. but i am very confident. nancy is a battle tested leader. she marshalled the forces that led us to this great victory in taking back the house. she is one of the greatest legislative crafting people in a long time. she is responsible for the affordable care act passing and various other things, and i certainly hope that she is our leader, that she is re-elected speaker of the house. i don't see any other candidate. >> thanks for being with us. >> thank you. >>> john, now to this important story. did boeing withhold important safety information about its planes from airline pilots and air

>> well, right now the stance of his legal team s hey, we cooperated. the president submitted these written answers after months of negotiations. now it is time for the special counsel to wrap up their probe. whether or not that actually happens is another question, though, jim. we compared it to a take-home test and rudy giuliani did something similar this morning saying there are long questions, multiple questions that followed up, and that is what the president has answered. we know these questions only pertain to russian interference in the election. and what about russian contact with russians from the president's associates and not anything about the president's time as president. no questions of obstruction of justice or any of that matter. that's the question here is what happens going forward now that i have hasubmitted these question. but what we know from the special counsel's side is that robert mueller hasn't ruled out the idea of a sit down interview with president trump now that he's received these written questions from the president's l

us tuned in to see what cnn's response would be and they waited until well into the show to have jim acosta come and talk about what had happened. we know this is an administration that has long had a very tense relationship with the press, even during the campaign, the president, then candidate, was revoking reporters' press credentials, banning numerous outlets from "the washington post," to politico, from covering his events. but i think what you're seeing here is also an acknowledgement that the president often uses these fights that he picks with the media to distract from certain story lines that he doesn't want being covered and what is the news tonight? it is his decision to ask for jeff sessions' resignation and the white house knows that if they push these buttons and they go after the press, the press is going to react and respond, as you've seen tonight, and that that will change the direction of the coverage. >> peter baker, i've been a hard pass holder twice in my life. the first, dare i say, as a white house intern in the late '70s. second time, mid-'90s as white house
