A jawdropper of a news day on Tuesday as we saw Michael Cohen plead guilty while implicating Donald Trump in his crimes, but also Paul Manafort get convicted on 8 of his charges brought by Robert Mueller. Not only that, the second Congressman to endorse Trump, Duncan Hunter Jr, was indicted on several counts of fraud. This could very well define the Trump presidency.

Guest host Jason Dick welcomes Todd Ruger, Bridget Bowman and Clyde McGrady all from Roll Call to tackle the insane news day.

Donald Trump spoke to Reuters to try and clarify statements that Rudy Giuliani made when he said that "truth isn't truth." Trump turned the whole Mueller investigation into a "he said-he said." Will that ultimately work? Don't count on it.

We also size up the midterms and the Democrats' chances of taking back the House and the Senate, but also the role that women are playing in taking down Trump's agenda

Guest host Peter Ogburn welcomes Lauren Gambino from the Guardian, Alayna Treene from Axios and Ella Nilsen from Vox.

Rudy Giuliani went on Meet the Press and declared that "truth isn't truth" when he was talking about Trump talking to Robert Mueller. Sure, it looks like a "he said-he said" situation at the moment, but calling the entire concept of truth into question is a very bad look for the Trump team. Did Chuck Todd push back hard enough?

We talk about the wild weekend with Zack Ford from ThinkProgress, Katherine Tully-McManus from Roll Call and Niall Stanage from The Hill!

Michelle Obama created a rallying cry for Democrats in 2016 when she exclaimed "when they go low, we go high." In the years after the 2016 campaign, has it lost it's luster? Michael Avanatti says that when they go low, we fight back. That seems to be a message that resonates more for Democrats hoping to win. Peter Ogburn talks to The Hill's Amie Parnes about how Democrats are moving past the message of Michelle Obama and finding a new message.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders stood at the briefing room podium on Tuesday and said that she cannot say that he's never said the slur on tape. In other words - he's definitely said it. So now, we'll have to watch the White House defend his use of hate speech....again. It's important to point out that if you need a tape of Trump saying a racist word to see that he's a racist, you aren't paying attention.

Midterm elections happened around the country Tuesday night. We break them down and focus on the Blue Wave that continues to roll on.

Plus, an unbelievable story from the Catholic Church regarding child abuse.

Another day, another bombshell from Omarosa. She went on CBS This Morning with NEW tapes where she and other Trump campaign staffers openly discuss the allegations that there is a tape of Donald Trump using the "N-word."

Whether or not we hear the tape, the campaign certainly was worried about it getting out during the election. What else could we hear from her?

We talk to Asawin Suebsang from The Daily Beast and Nikki Schwab from the NY Post!

Omarosa Manigault Newman was fired by the Trump White House. After laying low for a few months, she's back with a new book AND she's got tapes. Listen to the clip of Omarosa getting fired by Gen John Kelly INSIDE the situation room at the White House. Put aside how crazy the story is, the fact that she was able to record in the situation room is WILD. She has some credibility issues, but she isn't wrong about Trump looking "mentally declined."

We talk to Elena Schneider from Politico, Igor Bobic from HuffPost and Niels Lesnewski from Roll Call!
