"the new york times" reports quote over the last week, mr. trump sent word to mr. sessions through allies that he would publicly attack him if he ran and "the washington post" reports quote, trump looms larger over the contest than any other republican. he is even joked to senators and white house aids that he would move to alabama and compete against sessions himself in the primary. all right. with us tonight michael steele, chairman of the republican national committee, the host of the appropriately named michael steele pod cast and my friend. there is one man having a good night tonight but the democratic senator from alabama doug jones because he's thinking there might be a jeff sessions roy moore primary to be the republican senatorial candidate in alabama. >> yeah, and one that the president will likely inject himself into in such a way that it will create what is already a muddled mess, an even bigger mess. the interesting thing about this, there is a dynamic to watch here, ali, and that is exactly how and to what extent the president goes after jeff session

from the "new york times." reports that rudy giuliani was pursuing business deals with ukrainian officials as he was pushing for investigations into the president's political rivals. what do we know? >> reporter: rudy giuliani has previously denied having any financial interests in ukraine, but now the new york times is reporting that he at least pursued hundreds of thousands of dollars in business from ukrainian government officials, some of those same ukrainian government officials that giuliani was meeting with and pressuring to carry out these investigations that the president was so keen on. now, giuliani said that he ultimately did not pursue these agreements because they were too complicated and he told the "new york times" that he never received a penny. it is significant because we already know that the southern district of new york is already investigating giuliani over whether or not he may have violated foreign lobbying laws. this certainly raises more questions about rudy giuliani's involvement in

popping story from "the new york times." it says in essence trump and gop allies have been caught in their deception in 2016 conspiracy allegations about ukraine. what's interesting and important now, though, i think, is the question of whether trump and his gop allies really were caught in a russian intelligence deception unwittingly, right? were they caught up in something that they didn't understand? i mean clearly they've been promoting this conspiracy theory russia didn't nrlt fear, ukraine did. i think they also just like the sound of it in terms of what it means for the trump presidency, right? but if they are only unwittingly caught up in this, they're only unwittingly promulgating this theory without knowing this is actually a russian intelligence operation they're helping, it's like an oops, right? oops, no idea this idea i've been promoting is by russian intelligence and promoted by them to advance the kremlin's interests at our expense. i mean it could be an oops, right? maybe. even if you're being very generous

at the times of the "the new york times" op-ed in september, though, "the new york times" went out of their way to describe them as a current administration official. is the person still a current official inside the administration? we don't actually know as the book is coming to press. only the book's publisher and "the new york times" editorial page department know who it is and whether or not that's still the case. they're not saying. but i'll tell you tonight we have obtained excerpts from this book, lengthy excerpts from this book. and i'm going to share a couple with you tonight. bottom line, and i haven't seen the entire book. i've seen the excerpts. bottom line the main point of that op-ed was that reassurance, right, it may be cold comfort in this chaotic era but americans should know there are adults in the room. we're trying to do what's right even when donald trump won't. it was an alarm, but the anonymous author was saying there are people here making sure things don't go so badly off the rails, the country is not going to be at risk in the way you might be worried about

york times," katie benner, justice reporter with the "new york times" and jonathan allen, our own national political reporter. annie, what reporting have you on the current state of the trump giuliani friendship, relationship for starters . >> well, there's two prongs to it, trump himself seems to be standing by giuliani now while thegi rest of the white house h wanted him thrown under the bus as long as he's been on the bus. he has been causing problems. they view him more as a friend who's freelancing, that's how they viewed him than a defense lawyer that's part of an overarching strategy. he has been causing problems for the white house. trump for a variety of reasons seems to every time he's asked him call him the greatest mayor new york city ever hades and a great lawyer, and it might just be that he's too close to lose at this point for trump but there's no signs that he's doing the usual i t barely know him stick with giuliani. >> katie benner, people were surprised at the kind of supplement the attorney general turnednt into once he was on th job but then the subject of spying came

i'm asking, would you publish that in the "new york times"? >> i think that was part of why we wanted to write about it. because the weinstein sort into debt being a case in which there was so much overwhelming proof that we felt that we had to -- we had to sort of take on a much harder case. the first thing i would say in answer to your question is that i don't think the fact that christine blasey ford doesn't remember everything about that night is the site of lack of credibility. i would say the opposite. [applause] when somebody, so when somebody -- >> so speedy i'm going to get to the answer to your question. when somebody is willing to acknowledge what they don't remember, we generally see that as a strength. but i think the reason we were so drawn to this is that there are basically three big questions about #me too that are totally unresolved and very controversial, which are that, number one, what's the scope of behavior under scrutiny? are only talking about sort of classic sexual assault? is it also sort of lesser offensive like ver

but the "new york times" reports this. the justice department's inspector general found no evidence that the fbi attempted to place. as agents investigated whether his associates conspired with russia's election interference operation, people familiar with the draft of the inspector general's report said. now the finding is one of several by mr. horwitz that undercuts conservatives' claims that the fbi acted improperly in investigating several trump associates starting in 2016. the blow to a one-time favorite trump talking point comes on a day of developments in the ukraine scandal that are calling into question donald trump's chief impeachment defenses and bringing into focus the appearance that the president was withholding military aid from ukraine despite multiple warnings from within his own administration that what he was doing might be wrong. another report in today's "new york times" reveals that trump was briefed on the whistle-blower complaint that ignited the entire ukraine scandal well before he finally unfroze

we got in touch with "new york times" to fox business. fedex's colorful response does not challenge a single fact of our story. it is clearly a stunt a stunt and and effort to distract from our findings of our story. when you're paying nothing in federal taxes you should reinvest into the u.s. and provide american jobs as well. charles? charles: susan, before i come in my thoughts it could backfire. "new york times" looks like hypocrites, fedex and many other businesses have to be careful. for instance, when fed smith and others talk about holding back invests because of tariffs even after pocketing hundreds of billions of dollars from lower taxes, lower regulations not a good look. their invests create jobs no doubt about that. they're not altruistic, they benefit the business. if we use the same logic on other things, some should say we should write off college loans, because it makes our children better citizens, and society would benefit. i want to find out what rick unger thinks. host of the rick unger show. i'm not sure if "new york

the new york times refers to me as a right wing radio host. this right wing radio host wants to unravel the attack on our society, the attack on our constitution, this attack on our president. i want you to understand some buddy who has studied the constitution, american history in impeachment for decades. unlike any legal analyst or journalist on tv today. what the democrats are doing to this president has never been done to another president in american history. to prior presidents who were impeached and found innocent never had to face this. the federal judges who were impeached, not all convicted, only eight were never treated like this. let's take a look at our board and re-point ourselves with western civilization, due process since 1215 and thereafter, the right to confront your accuser, the right to cross-examine your accuser, the right to call witnesses, the right to cross-examine witnesses, the right to present evidence. the right to counsel, the right to a public trial, this is basic stuff i hear people say is not a criminal trial,

york times reporting. i think this is outrageous and shameful behavior on the part of the democrats i mean what the founders were concerned about if you study our history and rightly so or was that you would trivialize you would use political differences policy differences to remove the president of the united states via the impeachment an interest senate trial process it's been used to date very sparingly and you do it has been a bipartisan process in the house in the clinton case many democrats voted to impeach in the house the trial was lengthy new gingrich is the speaker that of the house of representatives of 4 of bill clinton and bill clinton's team every benefit of the doubt every courtesy in that process ultimately he was not convicted in the senate in contrast that with this case here is being run not the judiciary committee because the chairman of the judiciary committee is a laughingstock but in the intelligence committee which rightly doesn't have primary jurisdiction over the impeachment issue
