Trump White House still struggling to get its act together
Andrea Mitchell, NBC News chief foreign affairs correspondent, talks with Rachel Maddow about the inability of the Trump White House to get security clearances properly taken care of and scandals still haunting Trump from all the way back to the campaign.
Trump lawyer says he paid Stormy Daniels from own money: NYT
Rachel Maddow reports breaking news that Donald Trump's personal lawyer Michael Cohen, responding to an FEC complaint, insists he paid $130,000 to adult performer Stormy Daniels from his own money, not Trump Org or Trump campaign money.
Trump administration giving Russia what it wants on sanctions
Rachel Maddow shows how Russia's chief goal seen throughout the Trump Russia scandal is to roll back Obama era sanctions and prevent any new sanctions, and the Trump administration has so far been obliging.
Echoes of Mike Flynn in White House bungling of Porter scandal
Rachel Maddow looks at the slow response of the Trump White House in dealing with Mike Flynn despite his access to confidential material, to their inaction on Rob Porter who also continued to have classified access
