. >> donald trump jr. says in the 2008 conference quote, "russians make up a pretty disproportionate cross-section of a lot of our assets." we see a lot of money pouring in from russia. >> in 2014, >> eric trump told james dodson the same thing. >> eric trump suggested to a well regarded call that those funding came from russia. >> eric trump told the new york post that he was misquoted, stating the allegations was quote, "complete garbage." the public record is clear on one point. donald trump had been to russia more than once. he first went to 1987 when it is still the soviet union, he returned in 1996. his connection with russia grew deeply when a russian oligarch helped him stage the pageant in russia. he took the tint opportunity in moscow to praise the leader. and other russian businessmen. >> we met aguilar in moscow and he came up to us and received a warm welcome. >> rob gold stone is a publicist who works for aguilar. pop star son. >> mr. trump says he believes that the russians had a strong lead

trump's tax returns. republicans attack cohen. >> you lied. >> he lies. >> you are a liar. >> liar, liar, pants on fire. >> and president trump tells a conservative conference what he thinks of all of the investigators. >> and all of a sudden they're trying to take you out with bull [ bleep ]. >> i'll talk to the vice chairman of the senate intelligence committee, democrat mark warner and jim jordan. plus democrats and activists are arguing over impeaching the president. >> impeachment of this corrupt and lawless president is the first step. >> impeachment is a divisive issue in our country and let us see what the facts are. >> debating purity tests for democratic members of congress and disagreeing over what's more important to them in 2020. a candidate who shares their views or one who simply can beat president trump. and finally, no deal. the president walks away without an agreement with kim jong-un on nukes and sanctions. >> sometimes you have to walk and this was just one of those times. >> so what

trump. one of his best stories about the president hating mccabe-- one of the best stories i've heard-- came out after comey was fired, right, when trump was so angry that he roasted mccabe about his wife losing a race for state senate. - trump demanded to know why comey was allowed to fly home on an fbi plane after he had been fired, these people said. mccabe told the president he hadn't been asked to authorize comey's flight, but if anyone had asked, he would have approved it. the president was silent for a moment, then turned on mccabe, quote: "ask your wife how it feels to be a loser," trump said. mccabe replied, "okay, sir." trump hung up the phone. - he's mad at comey, right? he's mad at comey. so he insults mccabe's wife because she ran for a senate seat and lost? that's so messed up. especially since trump should know what it's like to have a wife who wants to run. come on! [laughter] and... [applause] and poor mccabe... [cheers and applause] poor mccabe in this whole thing-- he's so

tower, president trump, candidate trump's relationship financially with russia. this is precisely in goldman's whe wheelhouse. this is what he investigates when he was an assistant u.s. attorney in the southern district of new york. adam schiff said many times, he is concerned about where president trump's ultimate loyalties lie. is he someone who is so fixated on trying to make money in russia that he put his commercial interests ahead of the national interests? these former prosecutors seem like the right people to try to find that out, at least that's what they're going to try to do. we will see how far they get. >> it's an impressive staff. the new people that are coming in, backed up by all the other staffers who are investigating. >> yeah. clearly, the mueller team has got the right people in place from the beginning. the question to jeffrey's point is whether or not they will ultimately find something that unravels the whole case, so to speak, or if mostly what we find out from the mueller report ultimately is along the lines of some of the stuff that we a

trump. he'll ask him if this is really the committee's beginning of an impeachment investigation and later, mitch mcconnell has given up on trying to save president trump's emergency decoloration, in the senate. the democrats have enough votes in the senate to win the vote on the resolution to eliminate the president's decoloration, of emergency and at the end of this hour tonight, a special comment on why the president says things in front of cameras that even i cannot say here on television. >>> breaking news, the wall street journal is saying michael cohen's attorney raised the severe little things can be a big deal. that's why there's otezla. otezla is not a cream. it's a pill that treats plaque psoriasis differently. with otezla, 75% clearer skin is achievable. don't use if you're allergic to otezla. it may cause severe diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting. otezla is associated with an increased risk of depression. tell your doctor if you have a history of depression or suicidal thoughts or if

on trump's behalf. we have been hearing rumors about pardon talks between witnesses but this is the first time we have been hearing that trump may have been personally involved in those discussions. needless to say, trump's tweet has opened him up to more questions about whether he dangled pardons in front of many other of the convicted felons who were in his inner circle. that's a topic we know is underscrutiny by three separate investigative bodies. robert mueller counsel, the southern district of new york and the house intelligence committee. as if that wasn't enough potential peril on the pardon front, trump also just today appeared to leave the door ajar to guess what, a pardon for paul manafort. >> i feel very badly for paul manafort. i think it's been a very very tough time for him, but if you notice, both his lawyer, a highly respected man, and a very highly respected judge, the judge said there was no collusion with russia. this had nothing to do with collusion. there was no collusion. it's a c

he never returned trump's call. two days wliter, trump fired him. rosenstein has denied his comments about taping the president were serious, barrarra maintains it would be a reasonable thing to consider. >> in that moment, we actually considered, and it sounds not as crazy as it did back then. now we know about michael cohen recording the president. and we considered and we have this competing -- >> you considered what? >> taping the president in our phone call. >> if you had called him back? >> yeah, i wanted to make sure, because i had a certain amount of mistrust. if he decided to say something inappropriate. >> this season the in the book, this is pretty interesting. >> yeah, that's why this whole debate about whether rod rosenstein was joking when he said, i'll wire up against the president or not, sort of rung in my ear a little bit. i tend to believe he was not joking, there's been a certain kind of conduct that happens, and when you're used to someone -- seeing someone tell untruths about your own situation, i didn't want someone to say, yo

[helicopter whirring] [indiscernible] announcer: president trump and first lady melania trump toward areas in lee county, alabama, damaged by tornadoes. the president met with alabama governor, k.i.a.'-- kay ivey and also met with local residents, paying tribute to dozens who died in the storm. this is half an hour. [helicopter whirring] president trump: thank you, folks. thank you. [indiscernible] >> thank you all so much. you this morning? >> i am doing better today. president trump: she is doing great. >> mr. president, what did you see from the air? president trump: i saw this. you saw things that you wouldn't believe. we saw the same thing. catherine has done an incredible job, and the governor has done an incredible job, and we really appreciate it. >> we appreciate you and the first lady for taking time to come into how important it is for people to work together and stand up together. when we do that together, we wind up being stronger together. we thank you for that. president trump: thank you. already1200 folks have volunteered from all over the state and they will continue

rhona graff is president trump's long time personal assistance largely seen as the gatekeeper of trump tower. as we dug up old cnn footage, clearly the president's right hand woman. >> rhona, let me have the calls, please. >> sarah murray has been digging in a little bit more. that video, 1989, she worked for donald trump for a long, long time, sarah. what more do we know? >> she's worked for him for decades. she is an executive assistant but her title and responsibilities in the trump organization have grown and she obviously earned donald trump's trust over the years and there's a reason that they call her the gatekeeper and it's because more often than not, if you wanted to get to donald trump, you had to go through rhona graff first. donald trump is someone who does not use text message or use email and he's obviously someone that a lot of people throughout the course of his business life and political life people have been trying to get him on the phone. the phone calls would first go to rona and for a while she had the coded system that she would sometimes use if it was someone t

and donald trump jr. we know that a.m. sxi david pecker have entered into non-prosecution agreements or immunity agreements. that leaves president trump and donald trump jr. as potential targets of that investigation. maybe other people we don't know about yet. but the fact the judge made that finding and continued to keep that part redacted, which requires a showing before they're going do that, suggests to me that there are individuals under investigation that could include those two that are yet to be charged. >> and barb, we tend to forget at least on our part, we tend to not repeat often enough, southern district of new york during cohen's plead in court, didn't they say that he admitted to crimes that were done at the direction of individual 1, later identified as our president? >> yes. it says even in the document itself that it was at the direction of and in coordination with individual 1. people say that is akin to saying he's an unindicted co-conspirator there. then we run up against this whole

, the trump organization, the trump foundation. what is his role so far -- what has he been doing with authorities? he's had some limited immunity. and what can he help congress understand? >> well, look, in the world -- the intricate web of companies and entities that the trump organization has created through the years to mask some of the deals that they've made, it would take a lifetime to unravel that web of entities because allen weisselberg has spent a lifetime putting together that web. and so he has been talking to prosecutors in the southern district of new york. they gave him a limited immunity deal so that he would come forward and talk, but there's no evidence that he has been terribly forthcoming. and so if he's called before congress, i think we can continue to expect that he would be rather less than completely forthcoming. he's the guy who knows everything. he knows exactly how the trump organization has structured its deals around the world, how they dealt with the trump foundation, how they did the hush money paym

ivanka trump? donald trump jr.? >> just follow the transcript. >> would it be fair then to say if any names came up multiple times in that hearing -- >> they have a good chance of hearing from us. >> and we learned today that yesterday's smoking gun almost didn't make it into the hearing. reporting in "vanity fair," emily jane fox tells us that michael cohen's first draft of his prepared remarks to the committee which he started writing weeks ago did not include any exhibits. and when his lawyers told him he would be attacked for being untrustworthy, michael cohen went to work in search of documentary evidence that could support his testimony. that's when he found the check, signed by donald trump in the white house six months into the trump presidency, that one member of the committee called the smoking gun yesterday. it is the first check that we have ever seen signed by a president of the united states in the commission of what federal prosecutors in new york city have called a federal crime. and we are fortunate

planning to send a second wave of document requests to associates of president trump including trump lawyer rudy giuliani and a former lawyer for michael cohen who last year sought a pardon on his client's behalf according to a person familiar with the committee's plans. other individuals likely to be sent requests include rex tillerson and gary cohen, an investment banker. neil, there is going to be no stone left unturned by this congress. so if there is anything that donald trump has been up to, there won't be a place to hide. >> i hope that's right because for two years congress sat on its hands and did nothing to investigate trump and, you know, this is someone who has repeatedly denied federal law just, you know, one example that gary cohen questionnaire that the judiciary commit tee is sending. gary cohen complained about the fact that president trump tried to block the time warner merger with at&t because he was so upset by the coverage on the rival network on cnn. that is a blatant abuse of power. again, it might not be criminal, but it is exactly the kind of thing our founde

like a trump 2020 flag. does that cause problems for trump flag for people? >> monica: i'm not a maga supporter. >> jesse: you're not? >> monica: surprise surprise but these kids should be allowed to wear whatever they want to wear. if they want to make america -- make america great again hat. i'm on fox news and i get in trouble for that even though i'm here as a democrat. >> jesse: okay. >> monica: but these kids in arizona should have the right to wear whatever they choose to wear politically. and i don't think they were causing any sort of disruption in the classroom or in a sort of fight to protest in the hallways and that they should be recommended. arizona has a problem because also in 2016 and a young woman suspended for wearing black lives matter sure as well. so this seems to be a thing in arizona. >> jesse: well, probably one more cited and all it takes is one little snowflake to say, he's wearing a maga hat i'm offended and the administration says no one can wear it. >> monica: just like the covington kids, i hope these kids get a great lawyer tha

donald trump and the trump organization. and all of the rest of those payoff checks to michael cohen come from that donald trump checking account with only one signature on those checks, only the signature of donald trump. was allen weissleberg no longer willing to sign those checks? why did allen weissleberg stop signing those reimbursement checks to michael cohen after robert mueller was appointed special prosecutor? surely someone in the house intelligence committee today behind closed doors asked michael cohen that question. here's what michael cohen had to say after that closed-door hearing today. >> the hearings went very, very well. i believe that all of the members were satisfied with the statements and the responses that i gave to them. i told them that any additional information that they would want, they should feel comfortable to reach out to my counsel and i would continue to cooperate to the fullest extent of my capabilities. >> joining us now, friend of michael cohen, donny deutsch, msnbc contributor. he texte

trump tower meeting. the only question left is was there other behavior we don't know about behind the scenes that bob mueller can tell us that will kind of connect the dolts of all these different events that happened during 2016 that can't possibly be coincidental. you can't have that many contacts with russian nationals as they were trying to hack the 2016 election and as they succeeded without there being some kind of coordinated effort there. i think that's why people are a little business disappointed that there were not more sealed indictments. how can this possibly not be a crime if there were efforts under way to help the russians essentially interfere in the election? we have to remember, also, that so much of this was a counterintelligence investigation. so much of this may not have risen to the level of provable beyond a reasonable doubt. that's why we've had to kind of lower our expectations a bit from the mueller report. it's also why he's spun out so much of his inquiry to different distric

he also announced a russian born american citizen who helped trump pursue a trump tower moscow on his behalf. joined by democrat from california. he was in that closed door appearance he had before the house intelligence committee today. all for -- another closed door appearance before the intelligence committee nbst week from cohen. sader also being called to testify. explain the reason behind each one of the decisions. >> there was lot we learned today. new information that mr. cohen will bring corroborating evidence to the committee on wednesday of next week and it's just a lot more to learn from him. i'd characterize today's hearing this way. i found him very credible. we interviewed him for about a eight hours a year 1/2 ago. and he's got a lot to lose. so he was very forth right. donald trump running for president was very eager to do business in russia, very eager to receive the help from wikileaks and very eager to learn what his son was doing with this meeting michael cohen thought was around it the trump tower meeting june 2016. >> let me make sure i got what you said at the

nixon grew up poor, trump wealthy. nixon served in the navy, trump got a deferral. nixon was a career politician, trump not. of course, nixon was undeniably wrapped up in the watergate affair and he resigned. trump, so far, there's been no indisputable proof that he has broken any law, nor that he will walk away from the white house. tom foreman, cnn, washington. >> "tricky dick" premiers sunday at 9:00 p.m. tweet the show @the lead. our coverage continues right now. thanks for watching. xxx. >>> rebuking the president. the president is vowing a veto. >>> mueller support. extraordinary show of support for the special counsel robert mueller as the house votes, get this, 420-0 to urge the justice department to make the mueller report public. >>> beto believe it. another democrat squeezes into the 2020 race as former congressman beto o'rourke announces his presi

when donald trump jr. said that russian assets and money makes up a disproportionate amount of their assets, allen weisselberg is in a position to tell congress whether that's actually true. when we talk about the sudden spending of millions in cash to buy certain properties, where did that money come from? how did he insert $200 million into his scottish golf courses that were failing? all things that allen weisselberg could potentially answer. he could say this money potentially came from a foreign entity. this money was used in an elicit manner. whether he's going to testify unless he gets immunity because he could be part of these crimes, is another question. >> ifs thereler sorts of things and he might be able to connect the dots on if there's anything there and would he be willing to answer any questions on those fronts? >> i think congress is certainly going to put the questions to him. hard to know how he's going to get out of coming up before those committees and talking about what he knows. i thi

donald trump. let's relax about the 1.2 million people in the military. they're not going to suddenly start rolling tanks down pennsylvania avenue because of an election result. they are professional, they are dutiful, they are not going to make war on americans or each other for donald trump. remember, even if the majority of the military support trump, that leaves hundreds of thousands of military personnel that don't support donald trump. it feels ridiculous to even have to say any of this out loud. donald trump has pushed the country to this place. to this level of suspicion about what he wants. and i'm sure donald trump would like to have the police and the military, and bikers for trump take up arms if he loses an election. but they won't. they won't because they are better people than donald trump wants them to be, they are not violent criminals, ready to commit treason and murder. for donald trump. there are not millions of people in america ready to grab their guns and go to war against am

this finding explains trump's behaivior. >> democrats have seized on context between trump cam ppaig officials to sway the leks to trump. >> you can see evidence in plain sight. >> it disappears as the closest we have seen yet to real live act clul collusion. >> do you believe there was in conspiracy? >> as you know they can have a significant amount of evidence and say it doesn't rise to the beauty. it may not have been they how old know about. >> they say while this report does not conclude that the president committed a crime it also does not exonerate him from obstructing justice. they say barr must testify before congress and ek plain why he and deputy attorney general made the decision not to prosecute trump and whether barr's previous skepticism played any role in his decision. so she sort of fulfilling that commitment. >> today republicans defended the decision not to prosecute trump. >> i think what mr. barr and rosenstein did was very appropriate. >> even as a senate judiciary planned his own inquiry into the handling of the russia probe and clinton e-mail investigation. >>

when trump ran in 201. he knew he wasn't building a wall or locking uphill are you or draining the swamp. jeb was the person who said we can't do it. so let's be calm an idealistic. susan: it's all about talking big and not following through? >> you get the idea out there and then you work them through the legislative process. that's what we mean by inspiring america and thinking big. nobody wants to be jeb bush in this campaign. susan: president trump beat jeb bush in the campaign. isn't this policy by slogan? you can't actually follow through? >> i don't see how any of these ideas, they would be able to pull these off. average americans, they are probably panicking at home, feeling frustrated there are politicians pushing for these things. robert i can't believe you would support the idea of having 16-year-olds vote. yes they pay taxes but they aren't adults. at the same time the left is trying to move the smoking age to 21 years old but they want 16-year-olds to vote? it's hypocritical. susan: that is tr

trump certainly i don't think will. and he sees it as a way to fire up his base, to fire up republicans, to get them out to the polls. again, over and over again he said this whole thing is a witch hunt, a hoax. and that underscores this very strategy. i do want to make one more point, kasie, in terms of how much information is released. the white house is concerned there could be information released that's damaging, and yet there's been no one charged with a crime, would that not be in some ways politically problematic. i think that's one of the things they're looking for here as they continue to watch and wait for the mueller report, kasie. >> and finally, kristen, i also want to ask you about hope hicks. she reportedly plans to turn over documents to house judiciary. she of course is somebody who was very close to the trump team, remains so. what do you make of that decision? >> well, i think it just goes to show you how broad these investigations are. they're dotting all their i's, crossing all their t's. you're ri

they reported trump directed cohen to lie. cohen said i felt i knew what he wanted me to do which was to lie. it's plausible, but that's not what "buzzfeed" reported. there is an outstanding problem they have. the two reporters on that piece. one of them said they had seen documentation that proved this directive occurred. one of them said they had seen it and the other said they had not seen it. howie: even if he's telling the truth as he seize it, that's not what "buzzfeed" is reporting. clarence: the argument already started and continues. i call this issue a wash. it's true, "buzzfeed" is on the defensive for good reason. they have to back up that story, if you will. but this whole affair is the media process to try donald trump through the media. and make an issue out of everything and interpret it from the advantage point they are speaking from. howie: let me get a break here. the democratic house passes a gun control bill. journalists are up in arms over how the white house treated them during the vietnam so with xfinit

trump. and you know, 18-and-a-half pages of this i just want to be clear. 18-and-a-half pages goes on and on and on. so, what's in here? well, that's a crucial question. we're learning mueller had eyes on the president's fixer michael cohen long before anyone knew. in fact, these dates, july 2017, two months after the special counsel's investigation started. right? july 2017, by that time, mueller had obtained a warrant for cohen's e-mails already and then in august of that same year, 2017, he got a warrant on cohen's icloud account. november, then tracking cohen's phone calls. investigators also looking at cohen's foreign contacts, specifically with russians, including a company linked to victor vessel beberg, who, of course, a ally of vad vlad. the only probe far he is facing tonight. because the team trump missed a deadline today to turn over records to the house judiciary committee. the judiciary committee remember has those 81 requests out that sweeping investigation into whether trump

and trump is now on top. when they set up this meeting last month, no one knew what it was meant to be about, right? they never knew what the meeting was for. they didn't know if it was gonna be about nuclear weapons. was it gonna be about the war in syria, missile defenses in europe? i mean, maybe it was just gonna be trump going in to see putin for his annual performance review. no one knew what it was. the meeting had no agenda, right? but then on friday, robert mueller dropped the bombshell directly charging 12 russian military intelligence officers with hacking democrats during the presidential campaign in an effort to sway the election, which was major news. so now, the formerly purposeless meeting between trump and putin had a meaning. all right? it was time for trump to put his foot down. and he did. right on america's dick. - just now, president putin denied having anything to do with the election interference in 2016. every u.s. intelligence agency has concluded that russia did. who do you believe?

did mueller clear trump? 40% say no, 29% say yes, about the size of his base, 31% uns e unsure, that makes 71% that either say no or they are not really sure. when you break it down by party what's durable for donald trump is that republicans believe him, republicans believe him and believe in him, you can see that that bar for clears donald trump is at 64% for republicans, 29% not sure, only 11% say no. so that that's durable for him. if you look at his approval number it's the same, it's 43%, it's down like two clicks from where it was before that, that just stays hard and fast. i wonder when you zoom out to sort of the world looking at us in this moment where russia essentially got away with it, got away with attacking our election, the current administration doesn't seem that enthusiastic about doing anything about 2nd and now they have their attorney general out saying nothing to see here. we have another election coming up, right? does the rest of the world that might want to do the same thing think, we

- only thing worse than one trump is many trumps. [laughter] mexico's gonna pay for it. that was trump's signature catchphrase. more than any other catchphrase. more than "you're fired." more than "make america great again." even more than "don't tell my wife about this." [laughter] but we never should have actually believed that mexico was going to pay for the wall. because every time someone asked trump how mexico would pay, he had a completely different explanation. - there will be a payment. it will be in a form, perhaps a complicated form. one way or the other, mexico's gonna pay for the wall. that's right. it may be through reimbursement, but one way or the other, mexico will pay for the wall. the wall will pay for itself on a monthly basis. we're working on a tax reform bill that will generate revenue from mexico that will pay for the wall. we have a trade deficit with mexico of $58 billion. all i have to do is start playing with that trade deficit and, believe me, they're gonna pay for the wall. they may even write us a check by the time they see what happens. ob

trump's wealth and even a claim of an active god. however time after time with the support of two different chief executives, the bank handed money over $2 billion to a man whom nearly all other banks deemed untouchable. we know how much this benefitted president trump. after all he was on the receiving end of $2 billion worth of loans. what was in it for deutsch bank. joining us now is the reporter behind the piece, the finance editor for the new york times and the author of of a forth womani coming book. you can me what people should take as the big picture? is it something other than that? >> the why are they doing it question is the right one. i think the fact that all these other banks refused to couch him and that touch bank was eager to embrace him. that's exactly the right question. it speaks to a lot of other problems that they are having and a lot of reasons that donald trump is now in the cross hairs of investigators in washington up in new york. >> i know you have done a lot of work on deutsch bank in general. i know very

president trump was magnanimous this week. here's what he said to maria. >> this should never happen to another president. what happened to me, they came up with an excuse for losing an election read this should never happen to another president. >> i don't agree. i don't think this country will ever heal unless people feel there is fairness and accountability, and equal justice. let's start with fairness. at some point, there'll be another democratic president. when that moment comes it's only fair that they, too, are treated exactly like president trump has been. joe biden is personal and family corruption with china, that would have to be investigated. kamala harris is investigation of the attorney general. her relationship with former california powerbroker, they must all be investigated. we would need endless investigations. then once the next democratic president has been treated just like president trump furnace will have been achieved in america move on. next, accountability. who seriously thinks that the damage to our

trump. >> and leading off our discussion tonight is lanny davis, an attorney for michael cohen. lanny davis, thank you for joining us tonight. appreciate it. i want to start with the pardon which we just introduced here. the "wall street journal" reporting was not that michael cohen personally requested a pardon but his lawyers at some point discussed the possibility of a pardon with president trump's lawyers and that rudy giuliani for one left open the possibility. is that accurate reporting? >> yes, the time period is what needs to be stressed. michael cohen lied for donald trump for ten years and is going to prison in part because of a lie to congress as well as the coverup scheme that donald trump is still paying for or was paying for when you showed those checks. the statement that michael made was after he made a decision and i think i was part of that when he decided to express his shame for his prior lies when he was certainly looking at the option of pardon when they were dangling t

president trump has done it again. reportedly telling a gathering of republican donors on friday night that quote democrats hate jewish people. something that stands in contrast to how jewish-americans vote and their broad representation in the democratic party compared to republicans. three sources who were there but were prevented by security from recording tell axes on made the comments while the recent anti-semitism controversy over ilhan omar. he didn't understand how any jew could vote for a democrat these days. trump talked about how much he liked benjamin netanyahu. if he could run as prime minister he would be 80% in the polls. now this follows the president's attempt to brand all democrats against the jewish people due to the controversy around the minnesota freshman. >> the democrats have become an anti-israel party, they've become an anti-jewish party. that's too bad. >> data shows something else, though. jewish voters have swung even more to the democratic party in recent elections. exit polls in the trump

trump or his campaign colluded with russia. i do not. >> this is so bad for our country. >> after three days of hearings cohen will return on wednesday to resume testimony behind closed doors before the house intelligence committee and the week after that trump's long time business associate, felix sadder will testify in an open hearing. he's a russian born convicted felon at the center of the trump tower in moscow. and they want allen weisselberg to testify. he was mentioned repeatedly by michael cohen as the person who knows the most. compounding this "new york times" reporting that the chief of staff was ordered to give jared kushner security clearance. the chair of the house oversight committee, elijah cummings now giving the white house an ultimatum to provide security clearances and documents as well as witnesses. mike, good morning. we're going to see the president for the first time since the north korean summit. will we hear anything do you think? >> reporter: good morning. as far as that appearance at the cpac confere

trump, donald trump jr., the ivanka trump, and eric trunk. mr. jordan: in your sentencing statement in december in front , myhe judge you said weakness can be characterized as a blind loyalty to donald trump, a blind loyalty that led me to choose a path of darkness. is that accurate? you wrote that and said that in front of the judge. mr. cohen: that is correct. mr. jordan: let me ask you why you did some of these things. when you filed a false tax 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016 was all of that out of blind loyalty to the president? mr. cohen: it was not. mr. cummings: when you fail to report $4 million in income to the internal revenue service, did you do that to protect donald trump? mr. cohen: i did not. mr. cummings: and when you fail to pay what mr. jordan: -- and when you hel fail to pay $1.4 million in tax to the u.s. treasury was that out of blind loyalty? mr. cohen: it was not the number was 1.38 and change and i have pay that money back to the irs. mr. jordan: i think the american people appreciate that. mr. cohen: it was over course of five

trump. what do you think when you hear that message there from sanders? >> well, obviously that's the number one priority for the entire party and probably for much of the nation. 2016 left people very disappointed and angry and thankfully that energy was moved into actually taking the house back in 2018. i think we're seeing very early on an even more intense energy, positive energy to take the house back. on the flip side -- to take the white house back. the flip side when i listen to bernie is sort of a, here we go again. you should not have to say, if i lose i'm going to back up the democratic candidate. the fact that you have to say that is an indication of a prior problem and as someone who worked for hillary clinton both in 2008 when she lost to barack obama and then 2016 when she beat bernie sanders, there really was a difference between the two. i remember someone adding up everything that hillary did for president obama and she did more events and raised more money for him than sar

is it donald trump, one of the trump children, or just more to pile on to paul manafort? >> no, it's absolutely donald trump. i remember when he flipped, somebody said, well, he used to carry the president's phone, so he knows exactly what the president was doing during this whole time period. there are still roles in court documents that we've seen rolled out that we don't know who played that role. for example, who is the one that was directed to get roger stone to go reach out to wikileaks to find out what they were publishing? stone himself said that was probably rick gates. so that ties stone right next to trump and that witness, that person, would know who ordered him to tell stone to go reach out to wikileaks. that's just one example. but there are going to be tons for gates. >> very lastly, carol, inwonder if there's a sense that you have that, even if some of these guys are helping out and cooperating, they still did a lot of bad stuff. is it just a layman's misunderstanding to say that it seems like most of the people who have been sentenced so far have gotten p

that is the message donald trump ascending. one of the things i have not heard anybody talk about is he is continuing to go after basic science. more than half of the economic growth in america since world war ii is because of investments we made in basic science. only governments find basic scscience. thea large degree, it was u.s. who did so. if you do notot find basic science, you do not come up with this instrument. companies build it but used the basics -- amy: you're talking the iphone. david: gps, computers, streaming movies and also to things, all grow out of research funded by the federal government, some of it before world war ii. this budget is basically an attack on middle-class people and poor people, and it is designed to help people like donald trump, people who have a lot of income, live a much better life. and i do not meaean the botttt f the 1%. that is two income career couples in their 50'0's and 60'. i mean people who clip coupons and collect dividends and own very large businesses. amy: in his new budget,

with a vote that failed to over ride trump's first presidential ve veto, the trump administration also signalled they will pay for president trufr's wall between the u.s. and mexico and they denied a row quest for other purposes to instead spend those moneys on a wall. which means in addition to the entities suing trump over him declaring this emergency to allow him to build that wall, it now looks like congress will push this into the courts, too. for every dollar that trump tries to take from some other purpose, to instead spend it on his wall. so you take those two things together and i mean, it has been a day with lots of news in it but also been a day when a lot of news that broke is big news. i mean, among other things, we learned today that the trump administration's legal firepower from here on out from here at least until the next election in 2020 is going to be devoted in the courts to trying to take health insurance away from tens of millions of americans to take them all uninsured and fighting to take money away from u.s. troops to instead build trump a wall that most ameri

trump jr., with trump's sister who is very low profile at events in washington. with elaine chao, the transportation secretary, wilbur ross, the commerce department secretary. it couldn't be more of a classic case of pay to play. give her money and somehow she gets you in the room with these people. her clientele seems to be chinese business executives. in fact, there was a chinese business executive who led a company that lid ledid electric that came to mar-a-lago new year's looking to meet trump. instead met members of the family because trump was in washington for the shutdown. he told yahoo! finance news separately in a story that came out previously that a p.r. company set up a meeting for him. he didn't identify the company. it wasn't in the story. seems to have been her company. it seems this massage parlor owner previously has been able to get her clients into mar-a-lago and into meetings in washington with members of the trump administration for pay. >> to stay with you for a moment, david, ms. yang's facebook page is offline. but before he was taken dow

suburban district says don't talk donald trump. this isn't about donald trump. this is about who we are and how do we get them sat out and back when barack obama voters choose between two evils and the third party back into the fold. this is what democrats tell what they will tackle. >> deglobalization, right, you saw sort of hair on fire levels of activism among a huge swath of the country a day or two, the next day there is the women's march and people showing up at airports and showing up to protest child separation and midterm turnout, special elections. the question, right, is having a democratic congress and leadership that doesn't want those people too active against them going to create a condition of demobilizing, folks. you see this up close. what do you see? >> i see it differently, chris. i see people are energized and mobilized and the thing about it is voters are smart. they are not stupid. they know what is going on and we can't treat them that way but what they want to hear from these almost 20 candidates, probably a dozen now i think is they wan

trump have to give evidence? also today, white house communications director bill shine abruptly resigned. bill shine came to the white house from fox news, and he will now go to work on donald trump's re-election campaign, perhaps one day he'll end up back at fox news. ah, yes, it's the circle of life. and speaking of white house communications, one of the things that has made this white house different from all the other white houses is the amount of leaking that happens inside it. this white house is so leaky last year "axios" published a piece entitled white house leakers leak about leaking, in which some of the administration's most prolific anonymous leakers spoke to "axios" anonymously about what they leak and why, and when it comes to white house leaking, there's the petty score settling kind. there's the kind designed to advance your preferred policy position if you've lost some internal debate, and in this white house, there's even leaking because maybe you think the only way to reach the president is t
