Agree to Disagree: Debating Today's Biggest Political Stories
President Trump is back at it on twitter again. Did he dig his own grave with a tweet about Michael Flynn over the weekend? Nick Givas, Media Reporter at The Daily Caller, and Emma Vigeland, Politics Producer at The Young Turks, debate whether President Trump's tweet confirms that the president obstructed justice.
That tweet from President Trump came after Former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn agreed to testify in the investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election. ABC News' Chief Investigative Correspondent Brian Ross inaccurately reported that Flynn would be testifying that it was President Trump who directed him to contact the Russians. In the wake of the false report, ABC News suspended Ross without pay for 4 weeks. Our round table debates whether ABC News did enough to remedy the situation.
While Ross's report was wrong, other sources have confirmed that senior officials on the Trump transition team asked Michael Flynn to contact the Russians. A number of those sources claim Jared Kushner is one of those officials. Vigeland and Givas discuss the likelihood that Jared Kushner is next on Robert Mueller's hit list.
