MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell is joined by Washington Post Associate Editor Bob Woodward to discuss his new book 'War' and the incredible details it reveals about the foreign policy successes of the Biden administration.
This is an adapted excerpt from the Oct. 12 episode of “Velshi.” Over the last few months, as part of an ongoing series on “Velshi,” we’ve taken viewers “Inside Project 2025,” the 922-page right-wing playbook for a second Trump presidency. However, now that we know what’s potentially in store, it’s important to look back at the previous Trump administration and remind ourselves what he has already done, how he governed, and how he’d likely do it all again.
And later at a news conference, Trump, standing next to Putin, defied his own intelligence officials by taking Putin’s word that Russia did not meddle in the 2016 election. When Putin “won” re-election in 2018, Trump was reportedly sent into a White House news briefing with sage advice: Do not congratulate Putin on winning an election that was neither free nor fair. But he congratulated the Russian president anyway.
