President. According to multiple people shortly after President Trumps win, the president s fixer was pitching himself to potential clients. Like pharmaceutical giant novartis. A company that cohen immediately approached. Another one described as boiling down to this. I dont know whos been representing you, but you should fire them all. Im the guy you should hire. Im closest to the president. Im his person lawyer. It appears it worked for novartis. Cohen is accused of being paid nearly 2 million by Major Companies for socalled insight into the president s thinking. Taking millions from a client list that didnt just have novartis, it also included at t, korean air space and a Russian Oligarch with close ties to the kremlin. Sarah sanders today questioned b again and again about these transactions. And again and again, the answer to nearly a dozen questions was pretty much the same response. Do you know whether mr. Cohen ever approach ed the white hous as a representative of any of those xwaen, whether the president was aware ware of the payments or whether he was aware that mr. Cohen was marketing himself . Im not aware and i would refer you to outside counsel has the president taken any action during the administration to benefit novartis, at t, korea air space. Zpl do you belie do you belie was qualified . Im not going to get into somebody elses qualifications. Cant get into it. Refer you to outside counsel and not aware. But u sanders should be because she is the president s press secretary and speaks on his behalf. So if she doesnt know the answer to these simple and important questions, surely at least she would know whether the president comfort babable with personal attorney. For engaging in a pay to play scheme. Is the president okay with that . The president promised to drain the swamp, so does he feel that Michael Cohen was selling access the to him . Fwen, another going weigh in. Is the president embarrassed or ashamed of that. I think that would be up to those individuals who make the decision to hire someone. Does the president think its appropriate his personal attorney was selling access to him given he promise d to drain the swamp . I purposely, were not engaging in matters in this process. She finally gave an inch. Seeming to shed some light on the president s thinking. Is the presideconcerned that corporations were given money to somebody close to him . I havent heard the president express specific concerns about it. So she hasnt heard the president express any specific concern es about that. Whoa. The president hasnt expressed concerned about his lawyer making millions off the office of the presidency . Wont express them to her privately when its others like Hillary Clinton accused of pay to play . Hes been more than happy to express his concerns. She engaged in corrupt pay for play at the state stapt department. Pay for play. Pay play. Its illegal. This is big stuff. Pay for play. Its illegal. I mean, its illegal. Access and favors were sold for cash. Its called pay for play. By his definition, access sold for cash is pay to play. Thats what the president s right hand man is accused of doing. So he should be outraged. That is unless he didnt know b about it. So lets go to pamela brown at the white house and pam, there are clearly more questions today if this happened, he would be concerned, yet it was a complicated question. Thats right. You saw Sarah Sanders stonewall reporters on many different fronts when it came to these questions about why Michael Cohen was getting paid more than a Million Dollars just after the election in return to promises from him that he would give access to the president and to the new president. Of course as you pointed out, erin, President Trump since the campaign, has been talking about drain iing the swamp and so one would think these revelations would be concerning to him. It was unclear whether the president knew and Sarah Sanders wouldnt go there with reporters saying she wasnt going to engage and that the president hadnt expressed concern to her. It is hard to believe that the two didnt discuss this, considering its been in the headlines for the past 24 hours. The president is an astute adviser of the news and this has to do with him. His person attorney promising this kind of ak says. I did speak to one white house official today who tried to down play it. Look, this is washington, people try to pay for access all the time. Sources say theyre hardly surprised by these revelation, ta after the election, it wasnt just Michael Cohen. There were others who started these consulting firm, promising access, or at least the ak saysing. That is the crucial question. It should be easy for him to say hes outraged about all of it. Unless he knew more they want anyone to know. Thank you very much. Now to shimone. Michael cohen is now challenging some of the allegations by Michael Avenatti there are out there. Cohen claiming he is circulate false information. Some of which is information you havent heard on this network because were only reporting information we have independently verified and confirmed with multiple source. Thats rig. So this relates to a court filing just made within the last half hour. Really its the first time were hearing from Michael Cohen or his attorneys. It takes issue with some of the things that michael mavenatti distributed yesterday in a tweet he posted onlip. There were some things this filing says were inaccurate. That we did not report on. However, he does go into some information that appears at least in part to be accurate from what weve reported on and let me read what it says. It says mr. Avenatti has publ h published some information that appears to be from mr. Cohens bank records and he has no reason to believe that mr. Avenatti is in position of these records. Theyre taking issue with just how did Michael Avenatti get ahold of this information and now theyre asking basically a judge in new york to take a look at this. To perhaps seek this information from Michael Avenatti. They say some of this information was seized in those fbi searches that occurred at his home in office at Michael Cohens office. So certainly the issue here is a that Michael Cohen, that Michael Avenatti has posted some information that they say is inaccurate, but they want to know just how Michael Avenatti got ahold of this information and just moments ago, he responed to this court filing. Hes essentially calling it baseless. Says that mr. Ryans submission, Michael Cohens attorney, on behalf is baseless and sanctionable. They fail to contradict 99 of the statements. So certainly hes continuing the fight here, not backing down and well see if the judge in new york entertains this. Thank you very much. Now to our National Political reporter, mj lee, Patrick Healy and former Nixon White House couns counsel, john dean. Youve been breaking so much of this story. These payment frs novartis and how it was cohen who approached novartis from your reporting and youre learning more about this leadershrelationship and how it together. Yeah, this is such a fascinating look at how access paid for and bought in washington. As to what we are told, is that cohen after the election aggressively pitched himself to multiple companies trying to say look, i know the president really well and i can give you access. I can give you a better understanding of how this administration can work. So novartis, the pharmaceutical company, struck a deal with Michael Cohen. A oneyear deal. 100,000 a month so that cohen could help them. Hefty retainer. Sure is. On Health Care Policy no less. But the twist is that this company apparently had an initial meeting with cohen then decided wait a minute, this guy cant help us that much so were in the going to work with him. However, they decided to pay out the rest of the contract any ways so in the end, michael ko received 1. 2 million from this company. So yesterday, we learned b about a lot of these payments and now we are see iing this sort of wetter picture of a man who suddenly realized i am the personal attorney to the president elect and i can capitalize on this. Right and it almost sounds like if they pay off the rest of the contract, we think youre worthless, but just in case, we dont want you to bad mouth us. Whats 1. 2 million. Were novartis. Why drug prices are so high. That was unnecessary. John, more breaking news on this. Michael cohens lawyer disputing the facts. Cohen said for example, some of the information being alleged is about a different Michael Cohen. I want to be clear. None of the information that may or may not be about a different Michael Cohen has appeared, so its nothing were talking about right now. If cohen is right, that some of what Michael Avenatti is wrong, what does this do to his credibility . John . Sorry. I didnt know it was to me. Happy to respopd to that. I dont think its going to do a lot to his crede bability. We dont know what his source was. It could have been a subpoena in a civil suit. It could have been as he intimated in a number of interview, hes get iting information leaked to him. So it could have come from a bank employee. It could have come from a Treasury Department employee. So i, you know, and it was his source may have comingled the Michael Cohens that were dealing corporations. So i think what has happened is b probably going to be an innocent error on his part if its the wrong Michael Cohen. I dont think its going to affect his credibility though because hes got solid documentation for everything hes been doing so far. And again, what you all have been b talking about here, novartis, at t, this company that may be linked to a russianal gark, is linked, whether the payments are or not is a question right now. But all of that is independently confirmed and not under dispute at this time. You heard the president though. Hes very clear. Access for cash. Called pay for play. We heard this so much during the campaign. He loved to talk b about draining the swamp and now republicans winning primaries on tuesday night using the train the swamp argument as well. But the reality is in this case to a fundamental problem of how the Trump Administration operates, President Trump does not seem to have much respect or use for the civil ser vapts who vapts who populate the dpovt. He doesnt go to longterm veteran advisers for advice for council. He goes to this small group of friends who everybody b knows. Everybody whos got serious none knows that people like Michael Cohen have serious histories. That President Trump feels very comfort bable with these old friends. He likes to get on the phone and calls them up. People at Rupert Murdoch dont need to call zaun hannity dont need to go out and put up a shingle and ask for 100,000 a month. But people like Michael Cohen, this is part of their business. Its about deal making, trading access and being close to the big guy. Thats how President Trump operates. Now ask the question will be whether any of this was illegal or not. Thats what theyre going to be looking at. You know, i poke to cohens lawyer in march and he was proud to admit cohen was the president s fixer. It was something they were sort of putting out and marketing very boldly. Heres how he put it. Look, michael was the fixer. We all know mike. It could be anything. Its not that this man, there were a ton of matters that took place that michael fixed. And donald trump wasnt involved in every matter. Believe me, Michael Cohen got calls at 3 00 in the morning. Michael would be at dinner. The boss would be calling him all the time. Im sure. In the past, cohen has said hed do anything to protect trump, but now, obviously, you have him maybe profiting off the relationship with president. Today, at least Sarah Sanders seems to be b distancing themselves. This is now strained, toxic, what sort of relationship is there. Complicated. Just keep in mind this relationship has been so based on loyalty. Donald trump is obsessed with loyalty and Michael Cohen has said many time, i am so loyal to this man. But now, the difference that hes under criminal investigation and we know that investigators are looking into his business practices, but also other issues that involve the president directly. Whether its the payment to Stormy Daniels. That was about protecting President Trump. Those are deals that cohen has been involved in and now he knows hes under the heat. Some of these actions he took on behalf of donald trump happily in past years now might make him liable and might get him into legal trouble. So that loyalty is really going to be test. It is. I guess the big question now is it should be easy for him to say he has a problem with this. The fact he wont raises questions like did henn about it. And john, do you think it is possible Michael Cohen was doing this when it comes to novartis, at t, korea air space, what have else, was he doing this on his own or do you think the president knew abt . Difficult knowing Donald Trumps business mo for the last decades, that he didnt know about it because he does not like people trading on his name. He doesnt like to be particularly when theyre trading on his name and hes not getting a piece of the action. So i would be prized if he didnt know. That would raise many serious imp cases. Next, at t. Which made Michael Cohen a lot of money for access into trumps insight. At t says it is now cooperating with essential counsel. We have details. Plus, serious Russian Oligarch, the one with links to the company that paid trump a Million Dollars. Who is he and how close is he to putin . And she accused trump of forcibly kissing her. Now shes running for public office. She won the democratic nomination in her state. Shes outfront tonight. I can do more to lower my a1c. And i can do it with whats already within me.

At t says it cooperated with the special counsels team with payments it made to Michael Cohens company. At t is releasing a statement tonight saying quote, when we were contacted fwi special counsels office regard iing Michael Cohen, we cooperated fully providing all information requested in november and december of 2017. We know at t paid at least 200,000 to cohens Company Called central consultants. At t though declined to answer questions about how it became aware of cohens firm or who approved the contract. N outfront now brian, you have been breaking this news. I mean this story is getting stranger and more shocking in some ways. At t is now admitting it was contacted by muellers team and cooperated. What are you learning . Yes, in november, six months ago,s thats when muellers team reached out. This is a great example of how much more mueller knows and the public knows. He knew about them six months ago. At t considers the matter closed, but all those other questions about how did you know about cohen in the first place, those remain unanswered. Mj is reported cohen aggressively reached out to novartis. We know all throughout last year, at t had a lot of business before the government. This channel cnn part of time warner is being bought by at t. But the government has blocked the deal. There was a lot of lob b bying. Whats your reaction to this . Well, first of all, i agree that one thing this tells us is that muellers team doesnt leak. This is another surprise that were lerping months afterwards. But in addition to that, i will say that it does not surprise me that muellers team looked into this. You have to wonder if they referred the Michael Cohen case to the Southern District of new york. When i was reading news yesterday, i was thinking back to when i was a federal prosecutor and what i would ask for and it appear to me happened was muellers team saw some very questionable Financial Transactions going in and out of this account that was create d y this Shell Company supposed to be handling the daniels company. That appear tofs led to a criminal investigation of cohen. Youre talking about at t. Those are three that were aware of. Why are they paying these fees to Michael Cohen . This is a list of clients and certainly the expertise theyre listing. That would make any lobbying firm here in washington jealous. If you look at novartis has told us, theyre a pharmaceutical company. They said theyve hired cohens company to engage on u. S. Health care policy matters. At t says that they wanted insight and understanding of the new Administration Korea air space. So again, this is a variety of expertise Michael Cohen was selling to these companies and they were buying. You got the senate, which now wants to investigate the at ts payments. You know, b obviously, youve got this big deal. Up in the air right now. At t awading a judges decision. They argued for weeks, for month, on whether they should buy time warner. Now were finding out that at t coop coop cooperated last year. If the wasnt aware of that, could that impact this case . I dont think it likely will, but its interesting. It certainly adds to what is a circus atz peer. I have to tell you, i spent many years litigating antitrust cases and theyre usually not this high profile and theyre usually not this colorful. We already have the president of the United States talking about this merger, talking about cnn. Theres a lot of speculation and i believe at t has made the argument that theres a political motivation behind blocking the merger, which was very aggressive. Is a very aggressive move by the Justice Department merger. This just adds drama around it. What does this reveal about how deep the probe going . Obl Viktor Vekselberg, we just dont know, could be link today a russian, but these others are not. Right, now, they were digging in deep on this. They went to the companies in november. Novartis said they talked to the mueller investigators sometime late last year in the fall and we know that Viktor Vekselberg, the Russian Oligarch, was stopped. He was one of a couple of Russian Oligarchs that were stopped and requested questioned by muellers investigators this year. It shows you they get an explanation for what these payments. Reporter were, to make sure they understand what this might have to do with russian collusion. It appears what they did, at least some of the information they had, they kicked over to the Southern District of new york to the man hhattan prosecutors who are now handling the bulk of what michael chone is facing. We dont know what else mueller has, however, so theres a lot of Unanswered Questions as to whether or not theres part of this that are still having to do with the russians. We know what we know. We do not know what we do not know. Thinking about viewers at home, hearing about these shady practices, thinking to themselves, this is what the president campaigned against. This is the stench of the swamp. It stinks in here. Sx it does and he said what we see is clear ly pay to play. But today, refusing o condemn it. Next, Viktor Vekselberg, the russian billionaire at the center of allegations b about Michael Cohen. Said to be on putins speed dial.

Tonight, were learning more about Viktor Vekselberg, the billionaire oligarch. That is the firm Stormy Daniels lawyer said paid money to the Shell Company. Vekselberg is close to the russian president. Hes sanctuaioned by the United States. Christina is outfront. I think russia should be more open for global market. Born in ukraine, Viktor Vekselberg is an oligarch whos one of the richest men in russia with a net worth of more than 1 13. 5 billion and hes part of putins inner circle. As putin has consolidated power, vekselberg has drawn closer to him. A source confirms those ties, telling cnn that vekselberg has a close relationship with putin. Hes now in the spotlight after reports surfaced that Robert Muellers investigators questioned him about hundreds of thousands of dollars his companys u. S. Affiliate paid to President Trumps personal taern after the 2016 election. Heres how the companies are linked. Vekselberg cofunded the renova group in 1990. His cousin is the ceo of Columbus Nova. A company identified in public documents as a u. S. Affiliate of renova. His firm paid cohens Shell Company. A half a Million Dollars between january and august of 2017. Michael cohen should not have been accepting money. Especially under the circumstances at this time from anyone with russian ties. Columbus nova has leased a series of statements denying any links to vekselberg or russian influence. The latest statement and the most forceful, saying in part the claim that Viktor Vekselberg was involved or provided any funding for Columbus Novas engagement of Michael Cohen is patently untrue. The company says although renova is itself biggest client, it is not controlled by vekselberg, stating columbus and renova have not and have ever been owned by a foreign entity or person. In fact since its founding nearly 20 years ago, Columbus Nova has been and continues to be b 100 owned by americans. But renova listed Columbus Nova as a u. S. Based affiliate on its own website. That reference was remove nd the past year according to cnns file. Other mentions of links between the two companies have been b removed from both of their websites. As late as 2007, sec filings list Columbus Nova as a u. S. Based affiliate of the renova group. The notion this giant Russian Corporation is independent of a company that appears to have been an american subsidiary not very crede bable. So just more context on those sanctions. The pretty harsh punishment which could include freezing asset, travel ban, that sort of thing. Its no surprise this company would want to distance itself from a person, vekselberg, whos essentially on an economic and international blacklist. Erin. Thank you. Certainly would make every sense to distance yourself. Now, Jackie Speier of california. She sits on a house spell where she knows xhee. You just heard says Viktor Vekselberg has zero involvement in paying cohen. Do you buy it . I buy it because i think this is a huge shell game on the american people. I think that Columbus Nova is a shell operation. I think that he is from my understand, a cousin to vekselberg. He has paid Michael Cohen close to a Million Dollars and it is a Company Located just outside my district, interestingly enough, that is interested in gaining traction in silicon valley. But they have basically given that is all money to Michael Cohen for what purpose . He cant bruce them to anyone in silicon valley. Right so i want to be clear. I asked you, they said they had zero involve. Do you buy it. When you said yes, youre saying you buy there was involve m. Just to be clear. Yes. Okay. So i know congresswoman that you have been aware of vekselberg for quite some time. As you point out, this Company Located outside your district, what more can you tell us about vekselberg . Well, actually, i cant tell you much more about vekselberg because we havent had the opportunity to interview him because the committee has been prematurely shut down in its investigation. We are now operating as a minority, member of the company and we will seek to have him and frankly Columbus Nova come in to talk with us because this is unraveling before us and whats most interesting is that you have a shadow lobbyist operation in Michael Cohen not being disclosed to the american people. Not filing any documentation and i am deeply troubled by this pay to play. You know last night, i spoke with the treasury secretary, steve mnuchin. I asked him for information about vekselberg and specifically why vekselberg was on the treasury secretarys sanctions list, which he has. Heres how he responded. We were very careful. We took our time. Used both classified information and open source information. I cant go through the specifics of this. But we were very careful. So congresswoman, you heard him. He said they used classified information and open source. Do you think the Administration Share more details about evangelic vekselberg and other sanctions . Without question. And i think we also need to know why his cousin out of the blue contributed heavily to the inauguration of President Trump when he has not been giving contributions to anyone else previously. There is something afoot here that really zverevs our attention. I believe that nunes and the majority of the house sbel community should reopen this investigation because right now, it is perfectly obvious to me they were doing the bidding of the president and that alone and not the american peoples work.

Breaking news, the three americans held in north korea and heading back to the u. S. This is their plane in las kra. We received a statement after ta landed from the three which reads quote we would like to expres our deep appreciation to the United States government, President Trump, secretary pompeo and the people of the yit for bringing us home. They have been held captive from between year and two and a half years. They are now set to land in just a few hours in washington. Thats where the president and first lady will meet them personally in the early hour of tomorrow morning. Outfront now, laura ling. She spent 140 days a north korean prison. They were pardoned after former president bill clinton flew there and met with kim jongil. I just today thinking about you and how you must feel b looking at this moment. Youve been on this plane hoeding home. You were there for almost five months in a north korean prison. What do you think is really going through these three americans minds tonight . I think theres probably a bit of disbelief because just a few months ago, the United States an north korea were threatening to annihilate one another so i can only imagine they were scared out of their minds because they probably felt that their fate was connected to the geo political situation. For them to now be coming home reuniting with their families. Im sure they are just overjoyed. I got chills listening to your read their statement. It is for any of us, impossible to imagine. You though of course know. You can feel what its like. What was your trip home like . That long trip with the stops and everything that you went through. On the journey to north korea to retrieve us, but walking down the accepts of plane, seeing i family. I saw how my parents aged and that was heart wrenching. It was hard to deal with some of the media attention, so i hope these three americans are b able to have the peace and privacy they deserve to really reconnect with their family and really catch up. And you know, i know when you were there, obviously, you were so isolate d from the world. How did you find out you were going home . How did they break that news to you as we try to imagine what happened with these three men . Yeah, well there had been a loft discussions. I was engaging with my captors to figure out what was necessary to get us home. I i was told that a very important envoy had just touched down in pyongyang. And that his visit went, if his visit went well, wed go home and if it didnt, we wouldnt. I was told it was someone i requested and i had actual asked and requested that president clinton serve as envoy and he so graciously ak cementeded. Zpl how long did it take for dwrou feel like you were free. Oh, man. I think that i, there are Little Things that came to appreciate so much. Thicks that we take for granted. Things like music. Taking a walk on the street. See iing the stars at night bece little treasures for me. Theyre things we dont really think about. I dont think i ever felt as strongly as do or did about the value of freedom. Thats something that i just dear. Beautifully said. According to the official north korean news agency, President Trump requested kim jongun e release these americans. Some say he deseves a Nobel Peace Prize and trump spoke about that this morning. Do you deserve the nobel prize . I would never say it. I want tofinished. The prize i want is victory for the world not for even here. I want victory for the world because thats what were talking about so thats the only prize i want. Laura, do you think he des e deserves the Nobel Peace Prize. Not going to answer that question. Thats up to a committee, but i do think that what is is being lost in this conversation is human rights. So weve heard lit about the human rights abuses taking place in north korea and i haep that in conversations going forward, this becomes part of the dialogue and ta north korea can be convinced that a path forward is to release its Political Prisoners and allow its people to have the freedom they so rightly deserve.

You are one step closer today to winning a seat. How much of your run is driven by this president , President Trump . Well, of course when i spoke out about President Trump, that did propel me into a national spotlight. And a lot of people in my area turned to me then to ask me to run. And were inspired by my courage and i think my integrity and wanted me to be a strong voice for them in the state house and so in part, it definitely stemmed from being someone willing to speak up. And now we are focused on the ohio state house and what we can do for our district. And rachel, has part of this and the courage that you had in coming forward, you know, the president personally slammed you. He denied the allegations of Sexual Misconduct not only that you made, but others made. And he responded on twitter about you. Saying a woman whom i dont know and to the best of my knowledge i never met is on the front page saying i kissed her. Who would do this in a public space. You have asked the president to release the footage from the security cameras. Bring it on. Have you made any progress . No. I mean, he owns the building. If there was footage, im sure he wouldnt release it. Of course he knows the truth. I have emails documenting my encounter with him with three different people. And i know the exact date it happened. And for him to make that claim is typical of trump behavior. Denial and lies. I am not too worried about it. A lot of americans see through his lying behavior. And you know, rachel, to your point, a majority of americans, 80 of them believe he had affairs. And that he knew about the payment to Stormy Daniels. People believe he knew everything and he did what was alleged to have done. Approval numbers have been going up. Does this surprise you . Well, you know, these tames are interesting. Nothing really shocks me anymore. But i think for him to have an affair or affairs, multiple it seems, speaks of his character but at least those are consensual. I am more concerned with his behavior with me and the other 18 or so women who, you know, he thrust himself on us in a connectic nonconsensual manner. And how can we really expect him to represent us in government if he has clearly no respect for us. Thank you, again, very much as you move to the next steps in your race for the ohio state house. Thanks. Thank you. And next, no, ivanka is not posing with a trump impersonator. Tails that make the difference.
