"the new york times" tonight. manhattan d.a. eyes criminal charges against the trump organization. this is because of the revelations tuesday in federal court that michael cohen was paid $420,000 in legal fees, what was labeled legal fees by the trump organization to cover for the payment of hush money to stormy daniels. legal fees, of course, being tax deductible to a business if the business did deduct those, that would be a criminal tax violation, and there are other business records violations that are particular to new york state law if the business included fraudulent entries in their bookkeeping about those payments. we are joined now by michael avenatti. we have this new york times report of a new criminal legal investigation of donald trump and donald trump's business because of the payments to stormy daniels that you have helped make public. >> well, you know, lawrence, what would we do without all of, quote, "this thinking," to quote the president's interview. it is truly amazing. when i think about the

i'm richard lui at msnbc headquarters in new york city. we'll start this hour with breaking news from "the new york times" on robert mueller's obstruction inquiry into president trump. white house counsel don mcghan has reportedly been cooperating extensively in the special counsel investigation. we just learned this from "the new york times" within the last three hours. in this report, mcgann was centrally involved, they are reporting, in the president's attempts to fire mueller. and now investigators are focusing on trump's comments and actions during the firing of former fbi director james comey and his repeated attacks against attorney general jeff sessions for his recusal from the russia investigation. but trump's former lead counsel in the russia probe, john dowd, in reaction to this report saying this -- the "times" report is, quote, complete fiction while claiming don mcghan was a strong witness for the president, john dowd. for more, msnbc's jeff ben tet white house, nbc news and msnbc legal analyst, senior fellow and government t

may 22nd, the "new york times" got a scoop they probably only got because they are "new york times." they sent crack reporters to an otherwise sleepy courthouse in albany, new york, not a federal courthouse, a state court, because that day in that state court in new york, a long-time business partner of michael cohence, a taxicab mogul everybody called the "taxi king" was in court, facing serious tax evasion charges in new york, $5 million and four criminal counts of criminal tax fraud and a charge of grand larceny, a big stack of charges involving a large amount of money and potentially a large amount of jail time. the story they uncovered at the courthouse that day, for some reason, friedman had gotten this huge criminal liability he was facing winnowed down to almost nothing. all the prison time and felonies evaporated. instead of being tried for evading $5 million in taxes, prosecutors let him plead guilty to one count of evaluating $50,000 worth of taxes. not $5 million, 50,000. instead of decades in potential prison time the deal he cut with prosecutors got him zero prison time

new york should be in the lawsuit so we can learn about what is happening in new york with new york businesses, the other stories from the trump international hotel that we don't know. the other stories about foreign moneys going through trump's businesses that we don't know. and actually a week after donald trump was elected before he took office, i sounded the alarm and said look, it looks like donald trump is set to violate this essential clause of the constitution. and three days after donald trump took office we filed the first emolument lawsuit. we know there is unconstitutional behavior but only from public reports. we don't have the tax returns and we don't know the financial flows. >> this is somewhat uncharted constitutional territory. >> absolutely. >> and for a lot of reasons, we haven't had a person like this be president of the united states before, but the federal judge said yeah, you have standing and this is a real case that could go forward. >> right. and the particularly tough news for the trump organization out of that court case is the judge seemed to define emoluments ver

good night from the nbc news led quarters here in new york. you may have heard the news today about a new subpoena for the president's personal lawyer, michael cohen, the same michael cohen who pled guilty yesterdayed to eight felony charges in federal court in new york. he did get a new subpoena today. it is a surprise. michael cohen reportedly reacted to that subpoena in a surprising way. i will get to that in a second. i want to talk about that subpoena at the top of the show tonight. you should know it might be more than meets the eye. it might be very important in terms of what's about to happen next and the pressure and specifically the legal pressure being brought to bear on the president of the united states. all right. here's how it came to be. in may of this year, may 22nd, "the new york times" had a scoop that they probably only got because they are specifically "the new york times." they sent crack reporters to an otherwise sleepy courthouse in albany, new york, not a federal courthouse, a state court, because that day in that stat

"the new york times" just ascended hiring that person. meanwhile, the very worst example of media bias this week is something called bias of omission. for example, cnn spends less than a minute covering the ceremony where vice president pence received a purported remaining of fallen american servicemen who died during the korean war. and msnbc did not cover it at all. the mainstream media is also happy to largely ignore the president's soaring new approval rating. they are also playing down america's record-setting econom economy. thee unemployment rate is now an incredibly low 3.9%. joining us now with more his counselor to the president kellyanne conway. good evening, kelly end. >> thank you for having me, congratulations on your best seller book. >> thank you. what we heard when the last couple of days was stunning enough, but the reaction by the press to sarah sanders and to the reaction by the press when they are now saying that everyone close to the president knows that he is not well, like mika brzezinski, and the claimez that the

attorney in the southern district of new york. and when that happened, the head of that office, the u.s. attorney himself, recused himself because he was appointed by president trump. so it is now being run by the professionals in that office who are beyond the reach of president trump. and i just want you to go back and double underline something that we raised at the time, when we saw that happen, we thought, this could be a move mueller is making for, among other reasons, to make sure the audit -- the investigation survives anything that might happen to him. something will survive in another jurisdiction. and this week when we saw what happened, when we saw what michael cohen confessed to, when we heard michael cohen's description of the crimes he committed with the president of the united states, now we can understand, i think, more than ever before in this week, in trump's worst week the enormity and importance of that decision to move that case, the case that might bring down the president out to a courtroom in new york. >>

in loans from two new york banks that most new yorkers have never heard of. the bank loan is under scrutiny, the total of which has not been reporting came from two financial institutions that catered to the taxi industry, sterling national bank and melrose credit union. people of knowledge with the matter, including a banker, who reviewed the transactions include that mr. cohen used 32 taxi medallions as collateral. they were valued at $1 million each and generated $1 million a year in income. michael cohen's partner in the taxi business is already cooperating with federal prosecutors and an accountant who worked for both has testified before the grand jury in the cohen case. "the new york times" reports if michael cohen becomes a cop wop rating witness, it would likely include a provision that mr. cohen also provide information to the special counsel, robert s. mueller, iii. joining us now michael daley and ron is back with us. the taxi business has been a cash business for a very long time. the one thing that can be much dirtier than commercial real estate

good evening from new york, i'm chris hayes. the president appears to be terrified he has a quote rat in his midst. inside the white house. >> that i should be clear, that's his word. rat. it's not the kind of language we are used to hearing from the president of the united states who is, of course, entrusted by our constitution when suring the nation's laws are faithfully executed and who is responsible for appointing our most senior law enforcement officers. you'd expect to hear that word in a very different context. >> your uncle was a rat. sit down, sit down. your uncle was a rat and now he's in the witness protection program. >> that's my father's brother you're talking about. >> now the president is assuring the country not that he has obeyed and upheld the law but that he does not hire snitchs. tweeting the naming north korea times wrote a fake piece today implying that because white house counsel don mcgahn was giving hours of testimony to the special council, he must be a john dean type. >> reporter: i have nothing to h

meanwhile, more breaking news today. this time in new york. michael cohen, he pled guilty to eight federal charges, including bank, tax fraud, two campaign finance violations. far worse crimes committed by others. earlier today, bret baier raises very, very important question. let's take a look. speak of campaign finance violation, because the way he phrased it, he was directed by the candidate to do that and submitted that money to be repaid by the trumpy organization, that is a direct liability. but i cany. already see the bate lines being drawn here illegally because i just got an email saying the fact that he pleads guilty to campaign violations does not mean that the payments were criminal violations. this did not go to trial and you could have people like former fec chairman bradley smith saying that payment is not a violation, which is what rudy giuliani was saying in his interview earlier. so that, you can arty begin to the trump lawyers potentially, and others, make my case that this would not be a violation. obviously the prosecutors

we have things like the new york city subway, the defunding of it. we have our system run into the ground. i really got in this race -- one of the chief reasons is because of education funding. because for 17 years, since my oldest child entered kindergarten, i've been fighting for the billions of dollars that the highest state in new york says that our school kids are owed in high needs, low income school districts, $4 billion. we can do that by enacting a millionaire tax and by increasing our corporate taxes which is less than half they were when andrew cuomo's father was governor, and we can do it by closing corporate loopholes. >> okay. so plainly and simply, you're saying you would raise taxes on the wealthy and on corporations? >> that's what i'm saying -- >> i think there's also a lot of programs -- >> we have billions of dollars being spent on economic development, a lot of which has gone directly into the pockets of cuomo's biggest donors with little job creation and no oversight. that's what the trials were about this spring. it's why cuomo

today's new york times report offers some insight into that question. in a meeting with mr. trump's lawyers this year, mr. mueller threatened to take the extraordinary step of subpoenaing the president to testify before a grand jury if he did not sit for a voluntarily interview. now, that was reported months ago. but we still do not know if any of that is true because the sources of the robert mueller threat to subpoena the president were the trump lawyers, not robert mueller or anyone on robert mueller's staff. the times turned to sources who worked with robert mueller in the past to try to get a sense of what robert mueller might do. quote, "law enforcement officials who have worked with mr. mueller a long time federal prosecutor and the head of the fbi believe that he will try to use every tool he has to get the president to answer questions and that he will probably subpoena him to testify if he does not agree to be questioned voluntarily." okay. that's one possibility. and trump lawyers offered "the new york times" another very credible possibility this time, saying som

it was published in the "new york times" about the head of a drug gang in the bronx. in the criminal organization that he ran in the bronx. quote, when the history is written of the drug gangs of new york in the 1980s and the mid 1990s, the kind that wrecked a city's nerves, helped create record high murder rates and made gunfire a common sound in many neighborhoods, the author of that might want to spend a chapter on jose reyes, or as he was known, el feo. he rose to become both dealer and supplier, building an empire. operating in a neighborhood doused in drug money, he was a general in the army. he also devoured books on the mafia. he read machiavelli. and he killed. managing a hit team that left a trail of rivals dead in manhattan and the bronx. it took several years for authorities to even hear of his existence. two months ago, mr. reyes was convicted of running a drug organization and of killing seven men. this guy's name was jose reyes. they called it el feo, the you goly one, and it was one of the legendary gangs of that era. he himself indicted in 1994. they

now it's upstate new york circling around new york. on board, a well known rapper, post malone who just last night at the video music awards won song of the year. now he and 16 others, including pilot and flight attendant are circling, waiting for an emergency landing. the news is breaking now. let's get to it. >> and the breaking news first for the day, we begin with a potential bomb shell activity in new york city. president trump's former fixer, former personal attorney, michael cohen, headed to a hearing in minutes from now after cutting a deal with federal prosecutors. fox news has learned that its either some sort of plea bargain or a straight-up stand-alone guilty plea. we'll know shortly. cohen under criminal investigation on various charges and rick leventhal has been following the case. it appears today is the day. >> a lot breaking and a lot we don't know yet. we're hearing that he may have agreed to serve three to five years a plea deal to multiple charges in exchange for a lesser sentence, which is three to five years and

michael cohen has turned himself in to the fbi in new york. there was video of him going into the building. >> here we go. >> i'm told that by sources he is there. he is now with the fbi. and then we should see him in court, you know, here soon in the next few hours. the fbi will likely tame him to court after he's processed and obviously the process of the arrest of michael cohen is now under way and then appear in court as we have been reporting around 4:00. for a presentment and what we believe will be a plea deal. >> okay. shimon, thank you. caroline, paul, fbi's got him. >> they got him. i'm in shock. quite frankly. this is not what we saw coming like paul said. we were all assuming and certainly michael cohen gave every indication that he was ready, willing and able to cooperate. but typical course would have been cooperation prior. he's going to say exactly -- al aloecute and the crimes he's guilty of. they charge you with every single crime they can. it's kind of a confusing to call it a plea deal. there's no deal involved. it's just p

why is it relevant that new york state, the attorney general of new york is involved? >> well one reason that could be significant is that par dons are not available in the state system. so even if president trump wants to pardon everybody who gets convicted in the federal system he lacks the ability to pardon anybody who gets charged in the state system. the other thing about that is, as you mentioned earlier with mattal rod, although the department of justice has this guidance about not indicting a sitting president, they're not bound in the state by those same guidelines. so although the supreme court may ultimately decide the constitutional question, there's nothing that would prevent them from charging the president with a crime in the state system. >> adam, we non-lawyers have become interested in the intricacies in the legal system and that conversation i had earlier with mattal rod about indicting a sitting president. a lot of people don't want to have the conversation about impeachment. 40 percent of americans might be interested, more than half are not, democ

but you are formerly of the southern district of new york. we're not clear on the distinction. but it does seem like the southern district doesn't have to run scared of anything donald trump can do. the only thing he can do is pardon somebody that gets a conviction from the southern district. >> that's generally true. u.s. attorneys run their investigations independently, certainly of the president, but also even independentry of the attorney general, of the department of justice. there is certain things that u.s. attorneys offices like the southern district need to go to what we call main justice, the attorney general and offices within the department of justice in washington to get permission for certain kinds of charges, tax charges. now, if you recall, in michael cohen's plea there was, i believe, a tax agent, an agent from the irs at his plea, which means they are already involved. so that permission has already been sought because we know that michael cohen pled guilty to tax charges. so i think the point is that it would be so unusual for trump in some way to impose limi

. >> new reporting by the "new york times" that michael cohen and donald trump were attempting to buy decades worth of dirt from the "national enquirer." >> i've always that, why didn't the "national enquirer" get the pulitzer prize -- >> then, saying that jeff sessions is safe until the mid-terms as he reportedly mocks his accent. >> make america great again. >> plus, how the birther candidate is now enacting birther policy on the southern border. >> why doesn't he show his birth certificate? >> and the eulogy for john mccain. >> the intolerance for abuse of power. >> "all in" starts now. >> good evening from new york. i'm chris hayes. the most incendiary claim was that there is dirt exposing the president to blackmail. it turns out there was a whole vault full of dirt on donald j. trump. not in russia. in the u.s. we don't know all the contents, we don't know who has seen them or who could be holding it as leverage over the president. we do know that the president wanted to get his hands on all of it. in 2016 according to the "times", the president and then lawyer michael cohen hatc

is happening in new york with new york businesses. the other story from the trump international hotel that we don't know, the other stories about foreign money going through trump's businesses that we don't know. and actually a week after donald trump was elected, even before he took office, i sounded the alarm and said, look, it looks like donald trump is set to violate this essential clause of the constitution, worked with an incredible legal team and three days after donald trump took office we filed the first emoluments lawsuit. but the new york attorney general needs to be a part of this because we know there's unconstitutional behavior, but only from public reports. we don't have the tax returns. we don't know all the financial flows. >> but we do have now, jonathan, that that -- this is sort of somewhat uncharted constitutional territory. >> absolutely. >> and what did happen -- for a lot of reasons we haven't had a person like this be president of the united states before, but the federal judge, at least at the district level,

now let's move to the district in new york. they are pursuing campaign violations that did not occur. while i agree with aspects of what professor dershowitz said, i disagree with this, these are not crimes, period. intent, who paid home, doesn't matter. these are events that are not defined as campaign violations, but i would ask the southern district of new york, which candidates have you or any other u.s. attorney prosecuted for violating these laws when they used private funds or corporate funds to settle a private legal matter? can you give me one? can you name one, two, three, four? if this is the law, i'm assuming you've used it on a whole bunch of other people. where is the case law? because i don't see that. the one area that bugs me is the new york attorney general, who was a hack and the d.a. in manhattan, another hack. these are elected democrats. so they can look at these areas too. the immunity on indictment doesn't necessarily apply to them. if i were the president i would look across the united states and i woul

good evening once again from our nbc news headquarters here in new york. day 566 of the trump administration facing the threat of a possible subpoena, a possible constitutional showdown. the president's lawyers have turned down robert mueller's latest terms for an in-person interview with the president of the united states. the trump legal team's rejection of mueller's terms was first reported by "the new york times." "washington post" followed soon with its own reporting.

we know the federal attorney for the southern district of new york in new york city, they're investigating him. he's under criminal investigation. he hasn't been charged with any wrongdoing yet. but they've raided his home, raided his apartment at the regency hotel in new york. they've raided his safe deposit box, his office. a line jumps out at me. federal authorities are assessing whether mr. cohen's income from his taxi medallion business was underreported in federal tax returns. one of the people said, the income included hundreds of thousands of dollars received in cash and other payments over the last five years. so what does this say to you, that they're squeezing this guy big time right now? >> i'm hearing dÉjÀ vu. this is precisely in a way what paul manafort is on trial right now. underreporting his income, trying to evade tax payments and only gha obligations, somebody orbiting the president of the united states who would know about their conduct in some way shape or form. i'm seeing a bit of a dÉjÀ vu. what's interesting is unlike the case of paul manafort, remember mueller

good evening once again from our nbc news headquarters here in new york. we're still tracking tonight's special election results in ohio. right now, the race is still too close to call. and that's where we expect it to remain for the foreseeable future between the trump-backed republican candidate troy balderson and the democrat danny o'connor. nbc news decision desk will not be calling this race tonight. this is a district the president won by about 11 points during the protection. president trump was flown out to ohio for an event with this candidate over this past weekend. you see him there campaigning for balderson. not long ago, the president weighed in on tonight's special election saying this, "when i decided to go to ohio for troy balderson, he was down in early voting. 64-36. that was not good. after my speech on saturday night, there was a big turn for the better. now troy wins and again we're not declaring that, a great victory during a very tough time of the year for voting." he will win big in november. congratulations to troy balderson on a g

york, a specific federal jurisdiction here in new york, i think that's done. now, if michael cohen goes out tonight and commits a federal crime, that's a separate story entirely. i think as far as other districts, say that special counsel mueller wants to bring charges against him in the washington, d.c. district or eastern district of virginia as we saw with paul manafort, that's something definitely on the table. there's nothing in the plea agreement that precludes future charges in other jurisdictions. the other thing is, there is no cooperation agreement here and people are saying, why would prosecutors do that. >> why would people do that? because the next person in line he could testify against would be the president. and than office right now, the ruling. >> not indict him. >> they've got this case they built. if individual one was someone else, that's the next that would happen would be indictment of person 1 because that person managed to win the election, he will not be indicted. >> exactly. it could be donald trump, you, me, just because they're in
