Transcripts For CNNW At This Hour With Kate Bolduan 20190222

Since the interviews have been a major part of the investigation, that could be significant new information could come out today. Hes not the only former member of trumps circle. Trumps personal Attorney Michael Cohen was on capitol hill yesterday ahead of his testimony before congress set for next week, a date that has been on again and off again more times than most of us want to count. What is he actually going to say . And trumps ally roger stone is no longer allowed to speak publically about his case. Let me start with you. When it comes to Paul Manafort, what could come out in todays Court Filings . Whats the range of possibility . What are you looking for . What we are looking for is to hear certainly from the lead prosecutor in the manafort case an overarching narrative of what happened from the russians through the Paul Manaforts Business Partner in ukraine who according to the special counsel was essentially a russian operative to Paul Manafort and then connecting to perhaps candidate one which is President Trump. We have already seen some hints from the special counsel in other Court Filings that they believe it is the linchpin, the connection between the russians and the Trump Campaign. So one of the things that happens in the sentencing memos is that prosecutors get a chance to sort of lay out a broader narrative. We have seen this in the cohen sentencing memo which is where prosecutors landed one of the biggest punches against the president where they got to say that the president was essentially an unindicted coconspirator in Michael Cohens crimes. We are expecting that perhaps some of these things will be redacted. We always like fewer redactions. Thats for us to understand what happened behind the scenes here. We are leaning once again on adobe to get it through. Exactly. Hold on one more second for me. What are you learning about Michael Cohen and his upcoming testimony and what lawmakers are going to be asking him . This is going to be a huge week for Michael Cohen on capitol hill, three appearances over the course of three days. I think democrats on the committee and in the House Oversight committee, that is the public on camera portion of his time up on capitol hill. We expect to hear from them a lot of questions about the payments made to women who have alleged to have affairs with President Trump. So we expect to see a lot of pointed questions on that end thmpt House Oversight Committee Chairman has tried to lay out the parameters of what he would want his hearing to focus on. We will throw a few of those up. The payments, compliance with Campaign Finance laws, disclosures, tax laws, obviously, the business practices, Trump International hotel. There is a slew of things they will be giving out and the intel committee, Senate Intel Committee certainly going to reference the russia investigation and find out more from him. Those two will be behind closed doors. Yesterday you said Michael Cohen was on capitol hill seeming to prep for this marathon that he has next week. He was behind closed doors on the secure room of the Senate Intel Committee perhaps reviewing committee documents and reviewing transcripts. He was really mum on what he was doing. His attorneys said he is conferring with his lawyers in advance of a big week next week. What is your sense then when the special counsel report will be finished and brought to the attorney general. We are ready now. We are ready right now. I think one of the things the operative things here is that the new attorney general is very cognizant of not interfering or stepping on the president as he is launching his international trip. On tuesday he will be in vietnam for the summit with the north korean leader. So we are expecting that the Justice Department wants to make sure that they stay out of the way of that. Thats why we are on guard for it today and perhaps monday before the president leaves for his trip. If not, then perhaps after the president s trip. So we are waiting anytime now. What happens, what comes out of the Court Document . Really interested to see what comes out of that. Thank you so much. We also have breaking news out of chicago that we want to get into in the unfolding drama involving actor Jussie Smollett. 20th century fox announcing smollett wont be appearing in the final two episodes of empire. Smollett is charged with filing a false report after claiming he was a victim of a hate crime. Let me go to cnn contributor Michelle Turner for much more on this. Michelle, i want to get your take because you were able to get that statement from 20th century fox, as well. What is fox saying . Basically, what they are saying is they are putting some distance between themselves and Jussie Smollett this morning when they have pretty much big backing him throughout this entire incident. They did put out a statement saying to avoid any further disruptions while they do care deeply for him they are going to write jamall off the last two seasons of the show. Thats the character that he plays on empire. They will take him from the last two seasons. This is in line from the reporting that we were getting yesterday from the set. He did go back to work and did film one scene last night. This was a scene that was previously set to be filmed, but during the filming yesterday he did apologize to the cast. It was very emotional we are told. He did apologize for putting them through this and he maintained his innocence and asked for their support. In a statement, we are told that the cast and crew was really split after this emotional plea last night. Half of them just want him gone. The other half feel for him. They empathize for him because everyone cared for him. I think it is creating a really tense working environment so the executive producer said we have a show to do. We want to remove this from the situation and let the legal system play out and try to get through the rest of the season. Im bringing in ryan young. You have that statement. I want to make sure everyone knows exactly what the statement says from fox. Reporter without a doubt. Basically the statement says the events of the past few weeks have been incredibly emotional for all of us. He has been an important member of our empire family and we care about him deeply. We are placing our trust in the legal system as a process plays out. We are also aware of the effects of this process on the cast and crew members who work on our show. To avoid further disruption on the set, we have decided to remove the role of jamal from the final two episodes of the season. This is turning almost like every hour we are getting another piece of information. Yesterday, when we were talking to investigators and they told us about the 3,500 payment, we didnt realize they had the messages in between the two and the fact they may have rehearsed this at some point. You heard them say and the superintendent of police say they gave the two brothers 100 to buy the supplies. There is video of them at a Beauty Supply store buying some of the supplies. At one point it looks like they noticed they were on camera and looked up at it and kept buying the products. Today i thought it might be a little more quiet than it was yesterday. You see this development being removed from that show as quite unbelievable especially since he left yesterday from court in that scrum and went right to work being followed by helicopters. This is unbelievable. It really just follows the kind of whip lash nature that has been the story and how it went from three weeks ago Jussie Smollett was a victim of a hate crime to now he is charged with a felony of making a false report and taking off his show. You spoke with him last week. How do you reconcile the mountain of evidence that the police say that they have against him and his graeszive denials . That is the 64 million question. How do you reconcile that . It really is the opposite end flt of the spectrum. You have the Police Department coming out with the mountain of echbds. They have a timeline of events that they laid out for everyone yesterday. You have jussie and his family saying he is absolutely innocent, he didnt do this. And its like a stand off. Im not sure where there will be give. He is quadrupling down. I thought it was interesting when the police chief did lay out a motive which was financial gain. He was dissatisfied with his salary on empire. Our reporting is that he went in to the show signing a seven year deal at 65,000 an episode. Because the show was such a blockbuster hit the first couple years the entire cast was given a raise and now he makes upwards of 100,000 an episode. Im told the way the contracts are structured, even though he is being taken off the final two episodes of the season it is likely he will get his money because usually the contracts go throughout the entire season and for the amount of episodes that are ordered. Even if you are not in an episode you will get paid for that episode. If it was about finances, the finances are getting very murky right now. Im sure it is something when the Police Superintendent said that that was the motive, the fact that he was unhappy with his salary. Something that stands out to me though is how much do you want to believe these brothers . They also revealed that they were also providing drugs, sometimes molly to the actor. Im sure there is some middle ground here. Maybe he has some phone messages that are in between. The idea that they may have played this out beforehand. Another fact that got washed over is the actor showed up late to where they were supposed to stage this attack and the brothers had to wait on the bench. I think that was part of the reason why police were able to pick them up on the Video Surveillance and watch their movements after they sat on the bench for quite sometime. We heard that there were no other video images of two people together. When jussie went on Good Morning America he identified the two men as the attacker. That gave back the little bit of information they needed to take it forward. We are told more warrants will be issued before next week. This is not going to stop. Thank you both so much. Really appreciate it. Great to see you. Coming up, President Trump declared a National Emergency to go around congress to get his money for his border wall. Now a new report says some of that money may not even be there. Were going to talk to a reporter that broke that story. Special counsel Robert Muellers investigation could be completed within days.

President trump about to face a new challenge to his National Emergency declaration for more funding for a border wall. Just minutes ago House Speaker nancy pelosi announced that the democratic controlled house will be voting next week tuesday on a resolution to end that emergency before he can get any extra money. Even if that resolution goes nowhere, the president may already have a new problem on his hands. A new report says more than a third of the federal fupds that he wants to redirect without the permission of congress may not even be available because it might have already been spent. Seriously. Lets get to that. John donelly is a Senior Writer at role call who broke this story. I want to remind all of our viewers where the president wants to get the extra money. You have 3. 6 million fraom military construction money. Then you have 2. 5 billion from the pentagon drug intradiction program and 600 million from the assets forfeiture fund. Your horting is it is not all there. He wanted to use that counter drug pot as sort of a weigh station for money. He wanted to move money from elsewhere in the Defense Department in order to get to the 2. 5 billion he wants for that. I learned there is practically nothing left in that pot, 85 million which is next to nothing. His number one point is that he is going to have to move almost all of the 2. 5 billion from other Defense Department programs which are not significant or are not necessary in contrast to what he said last year when he presented the defense budget. That is point one. He will have to move at the 2. 5 billion from other programs. I want to make sure our viewers dont miss that. Only 85 million is left in that fund. Thats like 2. 4 billion short of what they say they need. This is why they were going all of these routes to find these pots of money because the president wanted to land on that big top dollar point that he was seeking. It seems like there is no so if the money is not all there, how does he get it . He is going to have to move it from other Defense Department programs that he has not identified yet. And we always knew he was going to have to do some of that, but we didnt know he would have to get almost all 2. 5 billion from other d. O. D. Programs. He can do that. Every single time that a president in the past has tried to move that much money, he has gone to congress, not just gone to the house and the senate, but gotten approval from both parties in both chambers. Im told that that is not a law but just a tradition and a norm. It is one that has never been violated. It is really important because while Trump Supporters think this would be a victory to move the money around in order to build a wall, they may not think the same when another president from another party is trying to do the same thing. So it tears a hole, if you will, in the fabric of cooperation between the president and the congress and between the parties. What are you hearing from the pentagon about this . Are you hearing anything from the white house about this . Well, the pentagon is going to hold a press Conference Today where they are going to lay out what they plan to do. Another thing that is going to be brought up is they are going to argue that there is something called general transfer authority that enables them to move up to 4 billion from here to there in the budget and just notify congress about it and not ask their permission. But that authority has only ever been done when it is for something that congress has not shown it is opposed to. Congress just this month voted to provide only 1. 4 billion for the wall. So they are on record as to what they want to do on this program. So it would be unprecedented if the president were to use that authority to try to move the money around. Its unprecedented in almost every path that he could take is pretty much without precedent. On the most basic level when i was reading your report i was left wondering did they not check this when they announced where the money was going to come from . They may not have known that there was almost nothing left in the counter drug pot, if you will. They did know that they were going to have to move money from elsewhere in the pentagon budget, put it in the pot for a second and move it toward the wall. They knew they were going to do that. We dont know where the money will come from. It is going to be money from something. They will have it literally dip a toe in the Drug Forfeiture Fund and be sent elsewhere. Bingo. We dont know what they will cut to do that. We also dont know what they will cut in military construction projects, that other pot of money that you alluded to, in order to find the 3. 6 billion or so for that. And all those programs have constituencies. Including republican support. So it will create some howles of protest. Im really interested to hear what the pentagon has to say today. Coming up for us, every time trump meets with putin the country is told nothing. Those are the words of the chairman of the House Foreign Affairs committee. What are democrats preparing to do to get that detail . The chairman of the House Foreign Affairs committee joins me next. You.

As we await the announcement that the Robert Mueller russia ivestigation is complete, a real and still unanswered question is what will congress get to see and what will the public be able to learn . Joining me now is the chairman of the House Foreign Affairs committee. Thanks for being here. Great to be here. The result of this investigation by the special counsel gets directly to your committee and the oversight that your committee has. What do you think you will eventually see . I hope we will eventually see that the administration will decide and understand the constitution that congress is a separate branch of government and it isnt simply that the white house makes decisions and then Congress Goes along. We cant go along if we dont know what the decisions are. And we find out later on that decisions were being made. It is just the whole attitude that they want to shut us out. Thats why i issued the letter with two or three other chair men yesterday because we want to send notice to the administration that we are a coequal branch of government and we are entitled to get classified hearings and other hearings and briefings from the administration and we are not getting there. So out of frustration we issued a letter. I hope things will change. I wont hold my breath. I want to ask you about north korea and the upcoming summit. The attorney general as it is written is obligated to Tell Congress that the investigation is done and whether mueller was prevented from any of his investigative efforts, really nothing more is required. If that is just what is done, a notification to congress that it is done, do you plan to issue subpoenas to try to get more detail . I have always said the subpoenas should be the last thing we do, not the first thing. We will do it if we need to do it. It is not only my committee but some other committees, as well. Do you think after the attorney general makes that announcement, is there a way short of a subpoena you think you will be able to convince the administration . I wont hold my breath. I do think that we need to know, American People need to know. It would be absolutely terrible, i think, if the report would not be made public at least to some extent involving the congress. We are going to demand it. We have talked previously about issuing a subpoena for the interpreter who was the only other american to be in the room with President Trump, one of the meetings with President Trump and vladimir putin. Are you any closer to getting information from the interpreter . Are you any closer to taking moves to get the information that you have not had from any of the meetings between putin and trump . No. It is still on the table. There are so many other things that we dont get information about. It has been one thing after another after another that when we do get information we are shocked, at least im shocked, that we got something. There is this attitude that congress is a nuisance and congress is going to just try to go against the president. Im not going after the president. Im going after the truth and let the chips fall where they may. I just dont understand why there is an attitude of not wanting to involve the congress. Probably its because of the position from democrats at large and what many have said about the president and efforts of the administration, broadly, not specifically to you. That does get to the letter you wrote with regard to the upcoming summit with north korea. You say that the administration has been with Holding Information about ongoing talks with north korea. What do you think they are with holding . I dont know. It makes you suspicious when you dont know. First of all, i think its a situation where they would rather keep us in the loop, keep us in the dark. Its what we get out of it. What are we looking for . I want to make sure that any agreement and if it comes out i will be the first to compliment the president that north korea would be required to destroy all of its Nuclear Weapons. We dont know. We hear all kinds of conflicting reports that kim jongun isnt really serious, that he is going to hide some things, that he is going to destroy some things but not everything. Do you really think the administration in these discussions with north korea are stone walling you from updating you on their progress . Is your experience that you have had much more of an update with regard to other sensitive negotiations with adversaries . North korea, we focussed on north korea because next week the president is going to be meeting with the north koreans in hanoi. We dont know much about it. That is not acceptable. Thats why we focussed on it because it is something that is coming up next week. The bottom line is that the finished product that would be acceptable to me would be one that would guarantee that north korea would destroy all of its Nuclear Weapons. Short of that, its not really a deal to get rid of Nuclear Weapons on the korean peninsula. We really dont know what the administration is looking for, what they have accepted. Why should we be in the dark . We should be informed as members of congress. Thats the way our constitution goes. Thats the way our democracy goes. We did learn overnight that the administration is now not planning a full pull out of syria, u. S. Troops out of syria at least right now. The way Sarah Sanders said i think that the president s pulling out of troops in syria is a catastrophe. I think it hits our allies, the kurds who are loyal and faithful allies. It doesnt afford them any protection. They can be slaughtered by turkey. And also by getting out of syria precipitously we are watching that country fall deeper and deeper into the russian orbit. I think that this is not acceptable. 200 is better than nothing. I think we need to get out of syria. This is the wrong time. If we find out that it is a disaster we will have to send troops right back there at greater cost to american lives and greater costs to what may happen, anything unforeseen. This is a situation where the president made the announcement. Obviously, nobody knew about it. Mattis resigned. What kind of decisions are being made when the defense secretary who is the main person in these kinds of policies doesnt know anything about it . This is again the president making snap decisions, not listening to those around him, not listening to what should happen. Someone like mattis wasnt going to stand for it. It is unprecedented that a secretary of defense would resign like this. So the 200 is better than nothing, but, you know, we are trying now to get our allies, britain and france to substitute. They dont want to substitute. If we are not going to be there and do what we need to do with them as allies, they are not going to pull our chestnuts out of the fire. It is a ridiculous decision made by the president. I would hope that he would reverse it. I dont want our troops to stay on foreign soil, but you have to take into account what the possibilities are. I think anybody who knowathize situation in syria knows that pulling out would be a disaster. Lets see what tomorrow brings. Thank you so much for coming out. Appreciate your time.

She left alabama to join ice skps now she wants to come back to what she calls home. And now her father is suing the Trump Administration because the president says she is not allowed back. The president tweeting this this week. I have instructed secretary of state mike pompeo and he fully agrees to not allow her back into the country. Her dad says she is a u. S. Citizen and was born in new jersey after he had given up his diplomatic status. Let me play you what secretary of state mike pompeo said just yesterday. She is a terrorist. She is not a u. S. Citizen. She ought not return to this country. She may have been born here. She is not a u. S. Citizen nor is she entitled to u. S. Citizenship. Is that because she is a daughter of a diplomat . Thats right. Good to be with you. What do you say to the secretary of state . Well, its odd because the secretary of States Office said that her father was not a diplomat at the time. They have acknowledged that from a letter in 2004 that acknowledged that her father was discharged from his position as a diplomat as of september 1, 1994 about 35 days or almost 55 days before hoda was born. And so that is what this is coming down to. It does make me wonder, though, if this is as cut and dry as you say, there is a piece of paper and she was able to get a u. S. Passport obviously long after that, what do you think the administration is doing here then . Well, i think that there is a natural appeal. If you ask the american public, banishment for going over to isis would seem to be the constitution, however, forbids that as a punishment and the Supreme Court has spoken very clearly that this is an appropriate level to strip citizenship. So the administration has reasons to try and stop it. I would say, though, that the legal case that the administration has is not a very strong one. The secretary of state in that interview says that she is a terrorist. Is she a terrorist . Well, her family lets understand something on this. By coming back, she subjects herself to criminal prosecution. Her best defense would be, im not a u. S. Citizen. That would be her best defense. Shes actually coming back to be prosecuted. She understands that shes going to be prosecuted. Her family understands it. Her family supports her prosecution and punishment if she comes back. This is actually about her 18monthold son who, by virtue of her citizenship, is also a citizen. As she said to me, i ruined my life. I dont want to ruin his. I want to play for you you say she and the family say she is prepared to face charges for her choices and what shes done. I want to play for you this interview that she did with abc news. I want to play for you when she was asked about that. Let me play for you what she said. Do you think you deserve a punishment for what you did . Maybe there would be lessons, maybe a process that would ensure that i will never do this again. Jail time, i dont know if that has an effect on people. I need help mentally as well. I dont have the idealogy any more, but im traumatized by my experience. She said therapy sessions and she didnt know about jail time. That doesnt necessarily say shes ready to face charges. She absolutely understands by bringing this suit that sees going to face charges. And ive yet to meet somebody who said, gee, i want the maximum sentence possible. I havent had that experience as a criminal defense attorney. But she completely understands that coming to the United States, shes going to be prosecuted. Its not her choice whether shes prosecuted and its not her choice what sentence she receives. Its the United States choice. Of course. Before filing the lawsuit, did you try to reach out to the state department to clear this up before this became before a tweet from the president and where this is now . Yes, we started writing she additionally contacted her parents and others and said she wanted to surrender. And we contacted both the u. S. Attorneys office and then the state department with letters saying that she wanted to surrender, indicating that she was a citizen, providing evidence that her father wasnt a diplomat at the time, and they chose this route without ever communicating to us. Thats why were suing. It was a last resort. What happens to her . What does she do in shes not allowed back in the United States . In one sense, its ironic. Shes free. Shes stateless, but shes free. So the United States says, hey, shes somebody elses problem, not ours. Do you think that would push her back toward extremism . I dont know. I would say on the part is her family believes she should face prosecution, that she should come back, and that this shows us to be the nation of laws. This shows us to be the good guys. Its both right to hold her accountable and its both right not to hold her infant son accountable. Ive seen her tweets when she went over there after she had gotten there. Did she support acts of terrorism, to your knowledge . Did she admit that to you . I havent discussed it with her. I can tell you this. I think the maddest people at her, the most angry people, are both her family, which have been shocked, disappointed, embarrassed, to name just a few. And then the Muslim Population in america is the next most angry group. You have to remember who isis kills first and foremost. Isis kills muslims. Inside my own office, people are extraordinarily angry at her. But that means she comes back and faces justice, not that her citizenship is stripped with a tweet.

Nike stock taking a hit after facing blowback when College Basketballs biggest star was injured when the shoe exploded during the game. He left the game with an injury after this happened, the sole of the sneaker ripping apart from heel to toe. Despite the company calling it an isolated incident, things are happening now to the companys bottom line. Cnns alisyn cosic is here to talk about it. We are seeing a recovery in those shares. Theyre up about 1 , so were seeing that the effect of this stunning video of zion williamson, his shoe splitting apart not having any impact on its shares. Nike was pretty swift with its statement, though, when this happened that evening, putting out this statement. Saying, we are obviously concerned and we want to wish zion a speedy recovery. The quality and performance of our products are of utmost performance. While this is an isolated occurrence, we are working to identify the issue. Heres the reality that nike is working with. You have to look at what kind of game this was. This was a game between arch rivals duke and north carolina. This was nationally televised, a highly anticipated game, so any sneaker that would split apart would certainly you know, you would certainly have bad publicity around that. Whats exacerbated this is because it happened to zion williamson. This is a College Basketball superstar. He is expected to be the top pick at this years nba draft which is happening in june. Hes being compared to lebron james. This happened to such a big star. Thats why the focus is on nike. But others i talked to said this is not going to have an everlasting effect on nike. They will weather this according to analysts. They said, yes, this is embarrassing for nike but the company will still come out on top. First and foremost, we hope zion is okay and hell be back on the court. Thank you for joining me today. Inside politics with john king starts right now.
