Transcripts For CNNW CNN Newsroom With Ana Cabrera 20180825

Department and killeen blackwell former ohio secretary of state and adviser to the trump transition team. Michael let me start with you. Is the president publicly instructing the attorney general how to redirect doj investigative resources, specifically away from trumps inner circle on to people he sees at political adverses . Is that your interpretation. It can be read that way. The president has the prerogative to the set the priorities for the Justice Department. He is entitled in some respect to set those priorities. But, really this seems more directed at sessions failure to control mueller. And thats something the president has no control over short of firing mueller. And sessions is recused from. So these are really rants against sessions, almost, you know, inexplicably because the president can fire sessions if he wants to. Theoretically he can fire mueller. He has it within his power to do so. In some sense put up or shut up. Either move the way you want to move or stop, you know, this complaining. Ken, whats your take . How do you make sense of the president s comments . Look, there has been no one more successful than Jeff Sessions in moving the president s agenda, whether its religious liberty or immigration or reining in uncontrolled legislation on capital formation. But at the end of the day Jeff Sessions has been fighting sfrong political head winds. I think the president is between a rock and hard place. Because michael skipped over rubenstein. You mean rosenstein, the Deputy Attorney general. Excuse me rosenstein. Rosenstein has the authority over over mueller. Right. But he in fact is not acting. If the president wanted to fire rosenstein, sessions, then who runs the Justice Department . There is a prescribed order. And it has to be somebody in a confirmable position. And that hands over the whole the whole ag operation, the Justice Department, to the deep state or the administrative state. And that would cause more headaches than not. This is about. Actually that. This is about an agenda. Thats actually thats not correct. Because the succession order goes from the attorney general to the Deputy Attorney general. Okay. So the associate attorney general, also a politically appointed position, to the slister general, also politically appointed position. In order for you to get to career people running the department of justice you got to fire six or eight people. Who is in the third position . Michael who is in that third position right now. The associate attorney general. Its nobody nobody is there. And why would you turn. Hold on just a second guys hold on just a second guys let me ask you. Why would you go to solicitor general when hes running your defense across the department that would be fool zbliesh what im saying is this really is all about the russia investigation. And the president doesnt like that sessions doesnt have control of the russia investigation. He wants somebody completely loyal to him personally to be in charge because the russia investigation has to do with his political campaign. And see what im hearing you say . No, the president is not going to get rid of Jeff Sessions. At the end of the day his agenda is larger than muellers investigation. The Mueller Investigation is a frustration. But, look, this president is a fighter. And so he is not going to follow the traditional path. He is going to push back. He is going to push back verbally. He is going to engage in the public arena. And thats sort of frustrates, you know, folks who are used to regular order. It is not the regular order. Well but the problem is that he has created a mess for himself, which is all these railings against sessions for failing to rein in mueller and the threat he is going to fire him because of his failure to rein in mueller creates a situation for him that if he does do that then he will start being looked at for obstructionist or abuse of power behavior. He has made a terrible bed for himself. If he had kept quiet he could have exercised his constitutional prerogatives to fire people that he has the right to fire and put somebody else in that position. But he has created a mess for himself where he now politically really cant extricate himself from it without raising problems for himself illegal. Before you respond, ken. Okay. I want to play comments that trump made that started this this open war of words. Lets listen. He took the job and then he said im going to recuse myself. I said, what kind of a man is this . And by the way, he was on the campaign. You know, the only reason i gave him the job because i felt loyalty. He was an original supporter. He was on the campaign. Ken, remember james comey had claimed the president asked for a loyalty pledge. Do the president s comments on sessions we just heard give comey now more credibility . I dont think so. Look, the president is the mohamed ali of president ial politics. They talked about ali and his lift. The president will beat you with words. He will force you into a corner. He is always trying to make his opponents react to him. Yes, he does turn the page when he wants to turn the page. And he has been successful in doing it. And dont think he is going to stop. He is not going to stop doing it no matter how many times that causes some of us to wring our hands, stomp our feet, wave our arms. This is his style. Look im from snaert and mark twain said if he herd the world was ening he would get to cincinnati because things happen there after. He is from new york and he likes to be in control and he does it by in fact controlling the conversation and the narratives. And he is pretty good at it. I hear what you are saying but im not sure you answered my question about how that comment could actually play into and in fact boost what comey has said about how the president. No, i think i think comey. Loyalty . I think comeys record in toto speaks for itself. I dont think the president has to say anything else about comey. And comey will in fact go under of his own weight. Michael, you had something . Well, i wanted to say that the president is just flat out wrong about the time line as it relates to sessions. He says repeatedly if sessions had told me he was going to recuse himself i would have appointed i would not have appointed him. But of course he was appointed sessions he was sworn in on february 9th. On february 9th there was no Ongoing Investigation of the president from which sessions would have had to have recused himself. It wasnt until after the fact that it became clear that there was an investigation. And then under doj guidelines, because sessions was part of the complaint, he had to recuse himself. So its just flat out wrong what the president is saying as a matter of the sessions recusal, the time line, and what really is at play here is a desire as the president said himself to have his own roy cohen in charge of his investigation to make it go away. And thats whats going to get him in trouble from an abuse of power or obstruction standpoint if he continues this zbliefr michael, ken, got to leave it there. Good to see. You appreciate you both weighing in a cnn exclusive. A former trump request employee may be airing claims about the past the exdoorman now released from a contract with the Parent Company of the National Enquirer. The doorman claims he has knowledge of a secret relationship years ago between trump and a former house skeerp that the doorman says resulted in a child. The contract prevented him from talking about the claims. Exactly why he is allowed to talk about it now isnt clear. But lets get right to cnn White House Reporter Sarah Westwood standing by outside the white house. And sarah cnn obtained a copy of the contract which we just put up. What can you tell us. Obviously the contract represents another legal setback for a president enduring several already. We learn the former doorman was paid 30,000 in exchange for silence over what he claimed to know of an affair trump had with a former house skeerp years ago. The doorman claims that relationship produced a child. Now american media, inc, ami, the Parent Company of the National Enquirer would have collected 1 million from the doorman if he breached the confidentiality agreement while in effect. Signed in november 2015, several months after trump launched his president ial campaign. While we dont know exactly why the doorman was released from his confidentiality agreement now, we know that it comes as david pecker wsh the chairman of ami is under scrutiny from investigators he was granted immunity to speak to authorities about several transactions involving women during the 2016 race who had damaging stories to tell about President Trump. They too like this doorman entered into whats called the catch and kill agreements with ami where they would paid for rights to the stories in exchange for silence. The doorman episode obviously raises more questions about just how many people trump and ami did pay off during the president ial race. Ana. Any response from the white house or the president on this . Ana, the white house so far not answering any questions about this doorman agreement. Theyve been very careful to stay away from the issues related to ami, related to the women, trying to put it out on outside counsel. We are not getting clarity about President Trumps conflicting statements as to how much he knew of these deals and when. Sarah westwood at the white house. Thank you. The legal walls are starting to close in around donald trump. After a pair of immunity deals and a guilty plea from those in his inner circle. What this means for the president.

Legal woes involving President Trumps inner circle are piling up. Guilty verdicts for a former Campaign Manager, a guilty plea from his former lawyer. Immunity given to a few members of his inner circle in exchange for testimony. Joining us now chief investigative correspondent for yahoo news michael issakofp he broke the story of monica lunsky. He is the author of russian roulette. So much to talk about. First the parallels between the bill clinton and Monica Lewinsky scandal and President Trumps hush money payments to two women. The scandal got the president impeached. Could President Trump face the same outcome. There are parallels. It is interesting. At the end of the day, a Republican House impeached bill clinton for lying under oath. And obstructing justice in a Sexual Harassment lawsuit because he denied falsely his sexual relationship with Monica Lewinsky. In this case, we dont yet know the full level of President Trumps culpability. The most Significant Development in my mind is when Michael Cohen got up in court and said he made those hush money payments, which he acknowledged were for the purpose of influencing the election, at the direction of donald trump. What we dont know is the the assistant u. S. Attorney, present at the at that guilty plea, made reference to multiple tapes, text messages, emails, recordings, we dont know the degree to which those that evidence will back up what Michael Cohen said in court. Is this going to rely solely on Michael Cohens testimony . Or is there evidentiary material that will corroborate it . And also of course we now have the immunity given to the accountant, allen weisselberg, another potential witness. Yes. So i think that, you know, the important point that is probably worth making is that if if the evidence does implicate the president , it will be about seeking to conceal a sexual relationship, much as bill clinton was impeached for concealing a sexual relationship. Back 20 years ago when i was reporting on all this, republicans thought that was deserving of impeachment. And democrats, including some who are in key positions today, especially if the democrats get back control of the house, argued that concealing a sexual a consensual sexual relationship did not rise to the level of high crimes and misdemeanor. So it does put democrats in a little bit of an awkward position if they try to move for impeachment on just this matter. Well, and i want to ask you a little bit more about kind of the political maneuvering and strategy on this. Because it could lead to some tricky territory for members of both parties. I want you to listen to democratic congressman germd nadaler speaking out from the house floor against impeaching president clinton back in 1998. Perjury on a private matter, perjury regarding sex is not a great and dangerous offense against the nation. It is not an abuse of uniquely president ial power. It does not threaten our form of government. It is not an impeachable offense. So how do you see this playing out realistically. Exactly what i was referring to. Now and especially because Gerald Nadler is poised to be chairman of the house judiciary if they get back control of the house and would be the key figure in moving articles of impeachment if the democrats go that route. Now, you know, one pushback to that, saying its not it would not be pure hypocrisy for him to you push for impeachment is that the Campaign Finance violation that cohen pled guilty to was about influencing an election and therefore by making the hush money payments, the trump campaign, cohen and possibly trump himself denied voters thfgs that was relevant to his election as president. That is an argument. But i suspect that if the democrats are moving for impeachment and there will be enormous pressure to do so if they get control of the house theyll want other articles on other matters, particularly. Right. The russia matter. Well and thats. And they are not going to want to rely just on this matter. So thats where i wanted to go next. Because thats the bottom line here. Yeah. This is all what we have learned this week and we are talking about what does it mean for this president based on what we know at this time. But the Mueller Investigation continues. We dont know if there is going to be any criminality he finds involving the president directly. But when it pertains to what we know of Michael Cohen, his guilty plea this week his accusation that President Trump asked for the money to be paid to the women those are big headlines. You had a conversation i understand with cohens attorney this we can and he suggested that cohen may have testimony potentially damaging to the president in the russia election interference probe regarding the hacking of emails, right . Tell us about it. Exactly in the Skull Duggery podcast who my colleague and i have every week. And we grilled lanny davis quite closely on this matter. Davis would not say exactly what information that Michael Cohen has thats relevant to the russia inquiry, just that he has information about prior knowledge of the president s by President Trump about the russian hacking. But its worth noting that Michael Cohen has already testified to the senate. And in his Senate Intelligence Committee Testimony he said quite flatly he had not no information not a hint of anything those were Michael Cohens words of donald trump of having knowledge that amounted to russian collusion. Now that was Michael Cohen back in september of last year before he flipped, before he agreed to offer to cooperate. So but the important thing is he. It wasnt a cooperation deal. The plea deal was not a cooperation deal is our understanding. He was bee searching Robert Mueller for a cooperation deal. He is literally asking on every tv interview for his client to be interviewed here. But i think my point is that Michael Cohen may well have to cop to another felony, lying to the congress, if he really does have substantial new information about what President Trump knew at the time. And that is, you know, would expose him to further legal jeopardy. Again, your book, russian roulette, got it right this time, the inside story of putins war on america and the election of donald trump. Michael. Issakoff thank you for joining us. Thank you.

But first coming this labor day, a cnn special event, the Television Premiere of rbg as we look at the life of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader ginsburg. We examine how the experience of all american women has changed over the years. Today how equality in marriage has evolved. Conventional expectations of marriage were very different when ruth bader we had marty ginsburg. Back then men supported families financially while women took care of the home. The law reflected that. Recognizing that gender bias has nchgt impacts for everyone, rbsg used case that is impacted men to win rights for all genders. In 1971 as a lawyer she wrote the Supreme Court brief in a case that overturned the law that males must be preferred to females in the control of estates. For years are years later he won the widow her the right to claim his wifes Social Security benefits so he could stay home with a child. When the samesex marriage was argued on the Supreme Court in 2015 rbg pointed out that society ideas about marriage had evolved. What an enormous change occurred in my lifetime.

Hurricane lane may have been downgraded to a Tropical Storm. But its thrashing winds and relentless rain are pounding the Hawaiian Islands. Lane dumped up to 40 inches of rain triggering landslides and mudslides in areas drenched. Residents are told to remain vigilant as the catastrophic rainfall remains a risk. The woman who shot in video tells cnn that the water in this creek doesnt usually run at all without lots of rain. Cnns Miguel Marquez joins news hon lieu will you. What are the conditions like there now. Improving dramatically because lane has turn westward and moving away from the islands. The good news and breaking news is that all of the watches and warnings across the state have been cancelled. But the problem is still some lingering rain in places like the big island and in particular the areas in in the last couple of months have dealt with lava, now dealing with massive amounts of water. I want to bring in carl lee, the federal Emergency Management agency. You guys pro positioned here. You have teams going to the big island, search and rescue teams to the big island why is that important. The local responders are requesting services in that area. We have two teams mobilizing now to go to the island to help in whatever capacity needed. What sort of conditions, what sort of rescues might you be effecting there . We have seen the pictures of the topography really lends itself to the dramatic flows in streams whatever you facing. Swift water teams and bet teams will go in and assist with evacuations if necessary and respond to individualing on different locations. And hawaii obviously an island. Its far away from the continental u. S. You guys were here before any of this started. Its kind of dodged a bullet here. Right. But how important is it to take these storms as seriously as you did . Absolutely. Prepositioning assets, again being on the island very difficult to traverse from the islands. Air frames required to move assets and personnel. Key positions always key to be where we need to to be prior the lawful. You were in puerto rico as well. That was a big are storm more devastating and difficult. Were there Lessons Learned there . Did you learn something there you applied here. Absolutely every emergency we learn more and advance our knowledge of the topography and things like that we can again preposition the assets that are required to make sure we have them in place. All right, sir thank you very much. I know youre busy. I really appreciate it. That storm is now threatening some rain in the kuia about 130 miles south of there. But at this point it looks like the state of hawaii has for the most part dodged a bullet ana. Fingers crossed. Thank you miguel.

The scandal surrounding a republican congressman who allegedly misused a quarter of a Million Dollars in Campaign Funds is getting stranger. Represent Duncan Hunter appears to be blaming his wife saying she was his Campaign Manager and she handled all of his finances. Hunter and his wife pleaded not guilty on thursday to numerous charges. Including wire fraud, falsification of records and prohibited use of campaign contributions. Sara sidner has the latest. Representative hunter clearly trying to push some of his financial woes on to his wife, but investigators clear in saying that it is the both of them they are accusing of staeling hundreds of thousands of dollars from his Campaign Funds. Instead of the halls of congress, representative hunter entered the halls of justice in san diego. He and his wife making their First Court Appearance after being indict by a federal grand jury. Theyre accused of stealing more than 250,000 of Campaign Funds to furnish a lavish lifestyle. Including a 14,000 family trip to italy. 11,000 at costco. 3,000 on fast food and hundreds of dollars on clothing. Some of which prosecutors say they tried to pawn off as charity for wounded veterans. Both remained defiant. Not guilty to the 60 counts against them. The day before court, hunter went on the attack. I paid the money back. This is political. Period. That is also what he told a crowd at a town hall in 2017. What i am is a representative to you and a Campaign Finance stunt i was not watching it close enough. I have fixed it now. I have fixed it now. Its all straightened out.

Attorney said the couple wasnt a flight risk due in part to their dire financial condition. Prosecutors noting that hunter racked up 37,000 in Overdraft Fees on his personal accounts. Hunter as much as admitting his family is going through financial troubles. Theres nothing illegal about being poor. I dont think theres anything illegal about not having money in your bank account. But there is something illegal about using Campaign Funds to shore up personal finances and as a congressman, hes paid 174,000 out of tax coffers. Few would call that poor. Outside the court, democratic voters made clear they are sickened at the charges and are gunning for a seat. His democratic opponent says he commends hunter as a former marine who served his country abroad, but he says hunter appears to have served himself for his time in washington. Chewed him up and spat him out. Corruption has plagued washington for too long and i think the voters come november are going to change that and hope to have some representation for the first time in a long time. And when it comes to the midterms, hunters name will be on the ballot as the republican running for his seat because it is too late to remove his name and put someone elses in there. When it cops to that seat, democrats clearly vying to try and flip it. Cnn, los angeles. Now, congressman hunter is not the only early trump supporter engulfed in scandal. Chris collins in new york also threw his weight behind trump early in the campaign. He is now battling Insider Trading charges. Earlier, i spoke to s. E. Cup about what this means for democrats and republicans. You are the company you keep in many cases. Look, i dont think theres any convince dense th coincidence that a lot of these people were drawn to trump. And they did. And i dont think its a convince dense that youre starting to see some of these scandals finally come to light. Duncan hunter has been investigated for going on two years now. This didnt just happen overnight. It has nothing to do with the deep state. The attorney general investigating hunter is a trump appointee. But you know, you have to wonder what democrats are going to do with all of this. If you remember back in 2006, painting republicans as having a cultural of corruption, it was very successful. Will they do that now or decide no, no, we still want the run on policy. We want to run on health care and an agenda. This stuff is too good to pass up.
