Questions about past Kavanaugh lie follow him to new confirmation
Rachel Maddow shows that after he'd already been confirmed as a federal judge, new information called into question the truthfulness of Brett Kavanaugh's answers during his first confirmation hearing - a matter sure to come up in his next confirmation hearings.
Democrats see Trump pick of Kavanaugh as act of self-preservation
Senator Jeff Merkley talks with Rachel Maddow about Democratic concerns that Donald Trump has chosen Brett Kavanaugh for the Supreme Court on the belief that Kavanaugh's position on executive power will protect him from any prosecution stemming from the Mueller investigation.
Allies brace for train wreck as Trump heads to Europe, then Putin
Rachel Maddow reports on concerns of U.S. allies as Donald Trump heads to a NATO summit with a chip on his shoulder ahead of his one-on-one meeting with Vladimir Putin.
Trump pushes lawyer who repped Russian Alfa Bank for key DoJ post
Rachel Maddow reports on Donald Trump's odd choice of Brian Benczkowski to lead the DoJ's criminal division despite a lack of prosecutorial experience, though he did help whitewash an awkward situation between Donald Trump and Russia's Alfa Bank.
Mueller prosecutors still not done with Mike Flynn: court docs
Rachel Maddow points out that while Michael Flynn's lawyers have expressed an eagerness to get through the sentencing of former Donald Trump national security adviser Mike Flynn, court documents show that Robert Mueller has told the court they are not ready for sentencing because they are not finished with Flynn.
Judge calls Manafort's bluff on pre-trial jail location
Rachel Maddow shows how former Donald Trump campaign chair Paul Manafort is running out of legal tricks to forestall his trial as he withdrew a request to change jails once the judge showed willingness to consent, and he lost another bid to suppress evidence taken from his storage locker.
