lying, in part, about his contacts to i arussian national. >> sarah murray, thank you. let's stick with cohen's case for now and discuss the impact of it. federal prosecutor jennifer rogers and former federal prosecutor kim waily. he worked on the white house investigation. federal prosecutors are now directly implicating donald trump in a federal crime. how big of a deal is this? >> it's a huge deal. i mean, we knew from the plea of mielk cohen that he was saying that the president directed him in doing this, but this is different because prosecutors are very careful with their words. had they wanted to, they could have just said mielk cohen says that the president directed him, but instead they use different language. they said as mielk cohen has admitted, the president directed it. that means to me that they have other evidence independent of cohen's say-so that shows that the president is the one who directed this crime.
