Today on AirTalk, Congressman Adam Schiff joins guest host Libby Denkmann to discuss the implications of the recently released redacted Mueller report. We also examine the push for an unredacted version of the report as well as what comes next; and more.
Impeachment? The push for an unredacted version… What’s next after the release of the Mueller report
A day after celebrating the release of the Mueller report as "a good day," President Donald Trump struck a defiant tone Friday, tweeting that claims in the report by former administration officials that he tried numerous times to stop or influence the probe were untrue.
According to the 448-page report released Thursday, Trump discouraged witnesses from cooperating with prosecutors and prodded aides to mislead the public on his behalf to hamper the Russia probe he feared would cripple his administration.
The report's bottom line largely tracked the findings revealed in Attorney General William Barr's four-page memo a month ago - no Trump campaign collusion with Russia around the 2016 election, but no clear verdict on obstruction. But the report added new layers of detail about Trump's efforts to thwart the investigation. It also provided details of Russian attempts to hack the election, including the breach of Florida county election officials.
If you’re still trying to digest the report, we recap yesterday’s major revelations. Plus, what has the report revealed about international interference into our election systems? And what will we need to do to prevent such breaches in the future?

Escape from development hell: ‘The Man Who Killed Don Quixote’ and other films with troubled productions
Lawsuits, bankruptcy and flash flooding -- these are just some of the reasons that movies ended up in “development hell”, the film industry’s term for some of the most unlucky movie productions.
Today marks the release of one such film, nearly three decades in the making: “The Man Who Killed Don Quixote.” Director Terry Gilliam first tried to film it in 2000 with Johnny Depp and Jean Rochefort in the lead roles, only to have the production quickly shut down by a series of mishaps.
From the long-brewing “Alita: Battle Angel” to an unreleased “Fantastic Four” film to Orson Welles’ failed attempts at adapting Heart of Darkness, we discuss other notably troubled films productions.
What are some of the most prominent films that stalled during production? And when these films were finally released, were they worth the wait?
