Summary

Mueller did “not exonerate” Trump, so what should Congress do? CNN’s Jeffrey Toobin, ABC’s Sunny Hostin & NBC’s Ari Melber discuss in  rare joint appearance. Two crucial questions facing the Mueller Report are: How much evidence of obstruction does it detail against Trump, and what – if anything – should Congress do about it? Some of the top legal analysts from several networks tackle these questions in a rare joint appearance hosted by the 92nd Street Y Community Center in Manhattan, held in the crucial period between Mueller finishing the Russia probe and the DOJ releasing a redacted version of his report.  The discussion is divided into four parts: What is known based on Mueller’s indictments; what is known about the report (before its released); what is known based on the conduct of Pres. Trump and A.G. Bill Barr; and how the “narrators” in the press and online have shaped public understanding of the Mueller probe. The event was led by MSNBC Anchor and Chief Legal Correspondent Ari Melber.

The focus was on the Mueller probe when we tried to divide it up into what we really know,

like what we've learned from the indictments,

0:49.5

and what we know about the report that hasn't come yet,

0:51.8

and what we know about Donald Trump and Bill Barr's actions.

0:55.7

All of that, plus a little bit of media discussion

0:57.5

and questions that we got from the audience.
