Facing New Bribery Evidence, Trump Claims He ‘Doesn’t Know’ The Donor He Appointed | MSNBC

As damning bribery impeachment evidence is revealed, President Trump is now saying he ‘hardly knows’ his hand-picked ambassador, Gordon Sonland, who is at the center of the impeachment probe. This comes after Gordon Sondland reversed his testimony admitting there was a quid pro quo with Ukraine and as The Associated Press reports a second person overheard Trump on the phone with Sondland talking about “investigations.” Timothy Edgar, veteran National Security Intelligence official, joins Ari Melber to discuss the major security implications of Trump’s call.

    1. @liar fighter Nixon was already in his second term of which he won in a Landslide . When he resigned . The Only President to ever Resign .

    2. corrine joy That’s all he drinks. And I think all the aspartame has seriously destroyed his brain. I frankly don’t know how anyone can drink diet soda, it tastes SO nasty 🤢!

  1. The phone calls between Giuliani, Sonland and others with President Trump were on unsecured cell phones that hackers can tap and record every word they say. Putin probably has all of them on tape, ready to blackmail, for the recorded crimes.  What a crowd  of dummy amateurs are running our country, Trump, at the top of the list !!

    1. @Rod Allen you really have to be able to understand that, different people are motivated to say and do things, for different reasons in order to engage in a conversation like this and not look foolish. Fear and desperation are incredibly motivating factors but, so are greed and power. If you dont understand how that applies to this than you are being willfully ignorant and i feel sorry for you. Falling in line behind this “president”, is sad and pathetic.

    2. Rod Allen. The next time that you pull that empty head out of your a$$ in order to hit that crack pipe again. try pointing it at some real news and now foxy. And these mindlessly asinine comments will start to fade away.

    3. Rod Allen Ah, but now some of the aides of the leader of the Ukraine have said he talked to them about what Orange Nero asked of him…a lot can change in a day right now.

    1. YES TIRED OF ALL THIS PUTIN FED DEMON RAT SCAM JUST WHAT RUSSIA WANTED A DISRUPTION AMERICA DOING MUCH BETTER AFTER 2 TERMS SHAME OBAMA AND RUSSIA AND DEMON RATS DONT LIKE IT JUST THINK WHY IS THAT

  2. It’s disgusting and difficult to watch Nunez and Jordan disparage a top U.S. Diplomat and decorated Vietnam Veteran.

    1. Vindman is veteran, but not of Vietnam. He was born after we left Vietnam. Other than that, I agree wholeheartedly!

    1. Thats trumps goto when he gets cought with his hand in the cookie jar,”Oh I dont KNOW him!”😆😂😆😂

    2. @Warren Holly Obama isn’t a donfirmed moron, and therefore would never be ensnared in so many self-Donflicted mAssive political headwounds

    1. When Trump says he doesn’t remember, he is lying about what he remembers what to lie about. When he lies is because he remembers what to lie about. MSNBC is so frightened of a tarnished neo-liberal image that it keeps twisting things into some philosophical BS under the guise of “well, maybe he lied, maybe he doesn’t remember…he contradicted himself…….”, etc. Why don’t you (MSNBC) have some guts and courage to say it as it is. STOP BSing people, MSNBC!

    2. I’m quite worried about trump…. A little pressure and he goes berserk.
      He is doing NOTHING FOR OUR
      COUNTRY.
      JUST HOLD HIS “rallies ”
      TALK LIKE A LUNATIC
      THINKS HE IS A MOB BOSS,
      ALL HIS TWEETS SHOW DEFINITE DERANGEMENT,
      HE SHOULD JUST GO ON THE GROUNDS HE IS MENTALLY UNABLE TO PERFORM HIS DUTIES AS POTUS.

    1. Right. Could you ever imagine giving someone a million dollars… I can’t even imagine having a million to give. Especially to someone that will throw you to the wolves

  3. Trump is like a spoiled child caught stealing, lies about not remembering his friend who helped him commit the crime.

    1. The kid lies for a noble reason. He shields his friend. But trump he is just throwing people under the bus.

    2. THERE IS NO CRIME WAKE UP ONLY RUSSIA AND DEMON RATS WANT YOU TO THINK THERE IS A CRIME JUST THINK STOP BEING USED FOOLED BY COMMIE NEWS NUTS

    3. He was never called out back when he really was a child. No wonder his brother drank. If Fred favored this wanker, he had a reason to.

    1. @Linda Houston Well, could happen. He has already amended his testimony. Now the committee is going to ask him about that phone call with tRumputin overheard by David Holmes.

  4. Trump in a few days: “I don’t know Trump, Apparently he was a genius but I don’t know Mr Trump. He spent some time at my hotels, But I don’t know him”

    1. It would be even better if they would arrest Lindsey Graham. He is just as bad as Trump for allowing all his crimes.

    2. @Norma Exley Good for you, my dear. But, I myself, am hardly a girl either! Hopefully some good will come out of this: more voters focusing on substance as opposed to veneer.

    3. @Lynne Lee Luck Dowsing You are so right. I better sign off. I’ve had a few beverages. Thanks for the come back.

    1. @Benjamin Levine lmao “EVERYTHING IS FAKE NEWS!!1” except for Fox News, right? How incredible, that only one news channel in the entire world is reporting the ‘truth’. Isn’t that a tad bit suspicious? Hmm. Maybe, just maybe, one news channel can coordinate a lot better than hundreds of others, and they can convince gullible people, such as yourself, that everyone else is lying. Just a thought. That’s how propaganda works at least, and they’re a full-blown propaganda machine if you look at it objectively.

    2. @Benjamin Levine 45 just handed the russians an American base in Syria! Obama’s administration had 0 indictments and nothing came of all investigations against his administration. So many of tRump’s associate’s, advisors and lawyers have peen indicted and many are doing time. Facts are hard for you though.

    3. UR WORDS WILL PUT A BIG SMILE ON NANZZI AND PUTINS FACE WAKE UP THIS IS HOAX #5 OTHERS ALL LIES AND HATE AND DISRUPTION EXACTLY WHAT RUSSIA WANTES WAKE UP THINK STOP BEING USED FOOLED BY COMMIE NEWS NETS

    4. @Benjamin Levine you are the only Jew I support because people like Pelosi who a Jew like the liar Adam Schiff along with Biden the Jewish puppet want to give control back to Great Jewish Empire. Google YouTube CNN Abc and Facebook are all Jewish enterprises working to take it all back and enslave real Americans like us to their servitude

    1. @Don Cooper
      Given that nobody can get anywhere near the POTUS unless it’s arranged in advance, I wonder how these seemingly ordinary, random people can “come up to him” without his protection detail stopping them.
      Do you think he’s making that up?

    1. @Jan Davis Wow! Your are really so pathetic and desperate for the witch hunt to continue. Paul Manafort went to prison for lying. the polling data was mostly public and what does that have to do Trump? Trump tower was never built and only proposed a few times since 1987. What’s wrong with President Trump being on peaceful terms with a dangerous dictator? You are obviously a Never Trumper and will always be miserable and never happy until Trump is no longer President! So have another miserable day! haha. See you have no information he cheated but there will be tons of info soon on cheating done by the democrats since 2016. Oh well, Trump 2020!

    1. AS LONG AS U R BRAIN DEAD FEEDING AT THE BUCKET OF PUTIN LED COMMIE NEWS NETS AND PUTINS DEMON RATS U R NOT CAPABLE OF UNDERSTANDING WAKE UP

    1. @Alex Brewer Do you actually believe what you are saying? In my city alone, three large companies have either cut down or shut down due to this” brilliant” Presidents tariffs. Facts not opinions, he has been caught in numerous illegal and highly questionable acts as president. Are you so blind as to put this buffoon ahead of what is best for the country?

  5. “no, not even a little bit”?!

    Jesus, this guy isn’t even GOOD at lying. What the f••• is happening?! I just don’t get Trump supporters. How could anyone be that stupid?

    1. WE KNOW U DONT UNDERSTAND BRAIN DEAD ON PUTIN LED COMMIE NEWS NETS AND PUTINS DEMON RATS WAKE UP JUST THINK FOR A MIN WHY R DEMON RATS DOING EXACTLY WHAT PUTIN WANTED DISRUPT,,,INTERFERE,,,,LIES,,,,HATE HAVOC
