danny deutsch spoke to michael cohen yesterday. i want to share what he said. >> i spoke with michael cohen said and his quote about giuliani was he doesn't know what he's talking about. he said look, there are two people who don't know what happened, myself and the president, and you'll be hearing my side of the story. he was frustrated at what had come out yesterday. >> what do you make of that? who does he think he's helping? >> that's a very interesting definition of help. your job is not to make things more difficult for that person. your job is to alleviate the problems. your job is to sort of get people away from looking into the particular issue. and he hasn't done that. in fact, he has made it worse. he has sort of exposed donald trump as well as this administration. sarah has stood at that podium and denied the fact this payment was ever made. what he has done by saying this is expose the fact that she is lying and the president was lying. when he said he knew nothing about the payment. >> he's hanging sarah sanders out t

. >> so danny savalas, essentially that -- what michael cohen said to donny deutsch echoes now what we've heard from the president. from a prosecutor's point of view, legal, as opposed to a political analysis what do you make of what we've seen over the last 12 hours or so? >> number one, i was on that segment with donny deutsch and i think something that went under the radar was michael cohen apparently saying you'll hear my story soon. what does that mean? >> what does that mean? >> he'll be telling u.s. attorneys toon or just expects to go to trial? it's interesting. when we go back to rudy giuliani and the events of just of the last 48 hours, you have a situation where an attorney comes on very, very soon afterwards, makes a media appearance and defense attorneys -- >> can we just say, he was not asked about this. he just when -- he decided he was going to get this out there. there was not part of the conversation and, in fact, i argue, watching the tape, sean hannity seemed a little taken aback. >> two ways of looking at this. one hand, this might be a brilliantly calculated maneuver
