york city, not bob mueller and his team in washington, d.c., career prosecutors here in new york city have evidence that the president of the united states committed a felony by ordering and paying michael cohen to break the law. how do we know that? they told that to the federal judge. under the rules they can't tell that to a federal judge unless they actually have that hard-core evidence. under the rules they can't tell that to a federal judge unless they intend to do something with that evidence. >> cynthia, does he have that about right? >> wow. this might be a first. i am now agreeing with judge napolitano. yes, he does have it right. and can i just say one thing about today? first of all, joyce is completely right about the importance of today. but cohen and this attempt to turn himself into a patriot is enough to turn my stomach. cry me a river. the guy is going to do three years. people do three years fire lot less in this country. he gets christmas off. who gets christmas off when they've committed felonies and they have to go to jail? he has to give up his money. that's wha

michael cohen in manhattan, turns up in federal court in new york. he pleads guilty to eight felonies, six of which relate to tax evasion in his own finances and business stuff, but two of them, two of the eight felonies to which he plead that day were campaign finance felonies. and he stood up in court and what they call his allocution in court i have been directed to commit those felonies by then candidate donald trump. he pleads guilty. he implicates the president that day in court, and then he soon indicated through his lawyers that he was more than happy to start cooperating with prosecutors in whatever they wanted to talk to him about. but, you know, when he stood up that day in court handy plead guilty and he implicated the president, he did not actually sign a cooperation agreement in conjunction with that guilty plea. so that happened back in august. that was him dealing with federal prosecutors from the southern district of new york, august. then separate matter, last week, michael cohen, surprise, turns up in federal court again in new yor

people say it's not the southern district of new york. it's the sovereign district of new york. obviously, the southern district of new york is part of the justice department, but it's also considered in legal circles to have almost legendary independence, particularly on big, consequential cases to do with terrorism or high-end white collar crime or public corruption cases. is the southern district of new york so independent that they might conceivably arrive at their own independent decision about whether or not they want to try to indict a sitting president, regardless of whether or not the rest of the justice department feels constrained on that point? and if, as "the new york times" reports, if they are considering indicting the president, even if it is just the day he leaves office, here's a sort of mind-bending question that we may have to start taking seriously. if they're going to indict the president and they're considering indicting him as soon as he leaves office, is it possible that they need to, like, bring him that information now while he's still serving as presi

york, the new york southern district of new york has basically pointed out, they have said charge the president with directing a political activity, the cover-up of that campaign contribution in great, intricate fashion, according to that memo today, about how michael cohen really went around to try to create the paperwork to make it look like something it wasn't. they say in that memo today, in that sentencing memo, that michael cohen knew what he was doing. he's a lawyer. he was politically sophisticated enough to know he's breaking the law. and proof of that was the way in which he was covering it up, with such intricate effort. do you believe it's possible or plausible that the president of the united states, who was directing him to do so, didn't know he was doing so to cover up a crime? >> i believe it is totally implausible that the president had no idea there was a cover-up ongoing here, if he knew the facts, as apparently, the southern district of new york believes that he did. it seems both impossible and implausible that he didn't understand the motive and the criminal inte

[ laughter ] >> two hours waiting. so i said okay, "i'm fine flying halfway across the world to do this. but i'm not going to wait in line to break up with you." so then we went to the second best which the top of the rock at the rockefeller center. >> seth: yeah. >> so we went up here. she broke up with me. and it was the best thing we ever did. >> seth: that's great. and now, this is true. she works at your show, right? she's your showrunner. >> yeah, she's the showrunner, yeah. >> seth: that's great. i mean that is -- obviously, you guys made the right call on this one. >> yes, we did. we did. i have a new girlfriend. she's -- i want to say she's a lot better. [ laughter ] but she's also nice. >> seth: i mean, this is where it's problematic that they're both here. they were both -- no, i think you're handling this great. >> yeah. [ laughter ] >> seth: i

"new york times" using the same picture. a jeaniawhat do you make of thet between just bipartisan praise across the political landscape and that's famous bumper sticker from 1992. annoy the media, re-elect bush. brit: the media were very hard on him when he was president. even when he was running for reelection. there was an issue, it was a reverse snobbism. george bush was the blue blood aristrocrat from a new england family who went into politics. he was looked at with condescension because he had been such a loyal figure under wray began and he wasn't a terribly talented public speaker. he paled in comparison to reagan. though there were times when he was extremely articulate. but think what he inherited. what happened when he became president, the vision of many before him was coming to fruition. the collapse of the soviet union and the fall of the berlin wall, and this job was to manage that skill any which he did. howie: when george h.w. bush was running there was a 1988 interview with dan rather, it got testy or iran

what we're seeing here is the triumph of the new york a.g. who has more than one investigation going in basically saying yes, this foundation's busted. trump had moved previously, okay, i'll scrap the whole thing and run off. the guy who never settles, the guy who is a mass negotiator. what then happened is the new york a.g. said, no, we want that under court supervision. we want to have the files. the normal things you'd want. this today is a victory for the new york attorney general and a loss for trump: you know, there was an old saying i'm not a businessman. i'm a businessman. >> yes. >> that applies here in a little bit different way. this is a court supervised order saying i'm not a foundation. i'm kind of an illegal slush fund. it's a little different than the business analogy, but it's still problematic and it goes to the heart of what donald trump has done with campaign funds, which we know is at issue in the wider new york federal investigation, which involves those hush money payments. so the notion that you have a failure by trump

the new york times had put him on the cover of the new york times magazine standing at trump tower. whoas done by bill geist, was then a columnist for the times. it was a flattering piece capturing the glamour of this young man. brian: formerly on cbs, not anymore. peter: he was a columnist for the times and he wrote the big piece. my favorite fact about the new york times and donald trump which was recently acknowledged is the first mention donald trump was in 1976. the reporter wrote the donald trump, a fine young man, looks a lot like robert redford. you have to start somewhere. i have not been in touch with trump, really, since -- we did a second book together which was a whole other story. he called it surviving at the top, and he was not. it was a moment in which he was deeply in debt. he had $5s revealed billion in debt, i happened to be with him flying from las vegas to new york on his plane. marla maples mr. newhouse and i are on the plane. i think probably over kansas he is going to open the door and jump out. he goes into his cabin. a belief in this man and his ability to

here's how "the new york times" put it. "one former senior administration official called it a humiliation for mr. trump and his adult children, an emotion the president tries to avoid at all costs." nancy cook of politico standing by to talk to us had this to report. "with ayers out of the picture, trump now faces the challenging task of finding a chief of staff who is both capable of doing the job and, perhaps more important, willing to step into the west wing's hornet's nest." one person being considered for the job, republican congressman mark meadows is pushing back against this idea that no one wants the job. >> he's got a number of people who'd gladly serve in, you know, in his administration, and so any narrative that would suggest otherwise is just not accurate. >> with us to talk about it tonight, the aforementioned nancy cook. white house reporter for politico. so, nancy, is the president looking for a quality hang or a sycophant, a best friend, or a superb manager of paper flow and personnel? >> i would say all

there's going to be a new attorney general in the state of new york. already alleged to ramp up investigations there. the democratic house is going to start their own investigations. the president and people around him are concerned. they feel like they have survived to this point. and i will say there are people around him that say that their argument is, what has happened so far, it's touched the president, the allegation, he is individual one, perhaps co-conspired on campaign finance. they believe that's a charge they can survive. that is at the end of the day, it will be a political decision while the president is in office and, therefore, that is not something that he is going to be impeached and removed over. obviously, that can change depending on what mueller may find out and release down the road. he, of course, is going to continue working in secrecy. >> and we have eight members of trump's inner circle who have pled guilty. we can put those up on the screen. we've got ranging from michael cohen to george papadopoulos and paul manafort. joyce
