All he knows about the longtime boss . Still dlib rating. Jurors weigh the evidence for a third day in the trial of former Trump Campaign chairman Paul Manafort. Whats behind the judges private conferences with lawyers from both sides . And president ial insults. Showing new signs that hes shaken and unsettled, President Trump lashes out in all directions calling Robert Muellers team, quoting the president of the United States, thugs. Is Melania Trump trolling her husband speaking out against Cyber Bullying . Im wolf blitzer. Youre in the situation room. President trump unleashes another torrent of abuse on twitter sounding frantic calling special Counsel Robert Mueller disgraced and discredited, calling his investigators angry, democrat thugs. That follows a the New York Times report that white House Counsel mcgahn met for more than 30 hours with muellers team and sources now say the president was rattled after learning about that extensive cooperation. And there are now new questions about the president s legal team as Rudy Giuliani tries to walk back his or welian declaration that, quote, truth isnt truth. Ill talk with the correspondents and specialists standing by with full coverage. Lets grin with the chief White House Correspondent jim acosta. Jim, insults from the president. But he really seems unsettled right now by did latest twists in the Mueller Investigation. Reporter thats right, wolf. The president said to be unnerved and unsettled by this. Despite that, the president and the legal team are down playing this revelation that white House Counsel don mcgahn spoke to the mueller team some 30 hours to tell who he knows about the russia investigation and critics blasting this decision to allow mcgang to talk to the office and one source familiar with the testimony tells cnn the president s team could still try to block mueller from using the white House Counsels testimony. Mr. Mcgahn, was it a speak to have you speak without limits to special counsel mueller . Reporter its the latest sign that the investigation is inching closer to the oval office. White House Counsel don mcgahn sitting down with the mueller team. The President Trump tweeted thats no big deal, saying bob mueller spent over 30 hours with the white House Counsel only with my approval for purposes of transparency. Much of washington is second guessing the decision. Part of the old trump Team Strategy to cooperate led by outside attorney doud and cobb. The president s lawyers dont know what was said in mcgahns 30 hours of testimony. As they were never fully briefed. Don mcgahn has no choice then but to go in and answer everything, every question they can ask him and this is not in the president s interest. Wasnt in the president s interest. Reporter a source familiar with the testimony argues the white house could still assert executive privilege setting up a potential battle over the information provided to prosecutors. I do believe that, no, in terms of jeopardy to the president , i dont see the downside to having mcgahn go in and talk with them and dowds specifically said that mcgahn was a strong witness. Reporter questions are also being raised about the president s current legal team after what his outside attorney Rudy Giuliani said over the weekend about donald trump jr. s meeting at trump tower. They didnt know that she is a representative of the russian government and she is not. If this is the case for collusion, good luck, mueller. Reporter thats not true. According to emails released by trump jr. An associate described the crown prosecutor of russia. Offering official documents and information that would incriminate hillary and the dealings with russia and would be very useful to your father. This is obviously very high level and Sensitive Information but is part of russia and its Government Support for mr. Trump. Giuliani took issue with the notion of objective truths. When you tell me that, you know, he should testify because hes going to tell the truth and he shouldnt worry, thats so silly because its somebodys version of the truth. Not the truth. He didnt have a conversation truth is truth. I dont mean to go like no, it isnt truth. Truth isnt truth. Reporter giulianis stunning words that the truth isnt truth could be an unintended motto of the trump era. Sean spicer, our press secretary, gave alternative facts to this. What you are seeing and what you are reading is not whats happening. Reporter now, as for giulianis comment that the truth isnt truth, outside lawyer of trump tweeted he meant to describe the investigation as something of a he said l she sa. And describing the journalists of covering the white house as fake news, wolf. Sounds like 1984 meets 2018 and its a far cry from the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. What are we learning from the reuters interview . Reporter thats right, wolf. The president gave an interview to the Reuters News Service earlier today and he was asked about whether or not he would consider relaxing sanctions on russia. He did say he would consider that if he could get Vladimir Putins cooperation on the ukraine. And syria. Obviously, those are two points of contention for this white house, for this administration. And it has been going back to the Obama Administration but, wolf, that would require my understanding would be for Vladimir Putin to give up crimea, back to ukraine and something not going to happen any time soon and while the president said he might look at relaxing sanctions on russia, it is unclear what scenario to bring it about. Were still waiting to find out more from what the president said in that interview, wolf. Let us know if you get clarification. Thank you very much. Cnn also learned that prosecutors are now putting together charges against the president s former lawyer and fixer Michael Cohen and those charges could be revealed within days. Cohen recently made it clear he may end up cooperating. Lets go to the National Correspondent athena jones in new york for us. What are you hearing . Reporter hi, wolf. Well, the timing of these charges is still in question. We know that federal prosecutors are mindful of the election cycle when deciding when to charge. They want to avoid actions affecting an election and considering charges before september or waiting until after the midterm elections are over to do so. Either way, it is clear charges are coming. Tonight sources tell cnn federal prosecutors are preparing criminal charges against Michael Cohen. President trumps former personal lawyer and longtime fixer. And could announce them by the end of the month. Cohen seen entering the Lawyers Office this morning is under federal investigation for possible bank fraud and tax fraud. With investigators examining more than 20 million in loans obtained by cohen and the familys taxi business according to the New York Times. For years mr. Cohen acted like he is above the law. Reporter and also investigating cohen for Campaign Finance violations related to the payment to Stormy Daniels days before the 2016 election to keep her quiet about an alleged 2006 tryst with trump. Trump denied the affair. So just how exposed might the president be here . One most dangerous for the president is the Campaign Finance issue to lead to the president s knowledge or direction of cohen to do this. Reporter a criminal indictment against cohen could be a major setback for the president. Cohen worked alongside trump more than a decade. And after years of preclaiming the loyalty to the former boss even saying he would take a bullet for trump i will use my legal skills to protect mr. Trump to the best of my ability. Reporter he reversed course dramatically telling family and friends he is willing to cooperate with the feds to alleviate the pressure on himself and his family. Just last month, releasing a secret recording of a conversation he had with trump about a potential payoff related to another woman, former playboy playmate karen mcdougall. We were together ten months. Reporter who claimed to have had an affair with trump in 2006. Trump denied the affair and lawyer Rudy Giuliani said no payment was ever made. Im all over that. I spoke to alan about it. When it comes time for the financing which will be what financing . Reporter while cohen expressed a willingness to cooperate with prosecutors, its not clear if theyre interested in deal or what information cohen has to offer them. The attorney lanny davis declined to comment. Now, one more thing here. John dean, former white House Counsel to help bring down nixons presidency in watergate said he is talking with lanny davis in recent weeks raising questions about whether cohen is looking for advice how to cooperate with prosecutors but dean who was also a cnn contributor said they have known each other for years back to president clintons impeachment and that davis asked him about how events unfolded during watergate. Dean stressed he doesnt know the specifics of the cohen case and, remember, President Trump himself name checked dean calling him a rat in a tweet over the weekend. Wolf . All very, very interesting. Thank you very much. Joining us, democratic congressman jeffries of new york. I want do get to the Michael Cohen developments in a moment but start with the russia investigation. In your view, how important is don mcgahns testimony now . 30 hours answering questions before Robert Muellers team. Well, its extraordinary that the white House Counsel spends 30 hours with muellers team. Obviously, going through in painstaking detail the events that have taken place throughout the Trump Administration, presumably focused a lot on whether there was efforts to obstruct justice connected to the firing of james comey, the withholding of evidence, the decision to urge other dos go easy. What Communications May have taken place with the department of justice. With or beyond jeff sessions. So, theres an amount of information that don mcgahn was in a position to be able to provide on its own may not be incriminating but could be a piece to the puzzle of the conspiracy that may have existed between the Trump Campaign and russia to sell out our democracy. Or, the obstruction of justice that may have taken place thereafter. President trump said he approved of the q a session. How trance important, how open do you think mcgahn was with the mueller team . Well, i think when you spend 30 hours with the mueller team its clear that mcgahn, a lawyer, well respected in this town, understands that the worst thing he could have done was to go in to those conversations and not provide all of the information as truthfully as possible. Because that could subject him to criminal jeopardy and he clearly doesnt want do go down that pathway. So, this is just another example of how meticulously the mueller team is pursuing this investigation to get to the bottom of what took place. Eventually, theyll prepare a report to the department of justice, the congress, the American People. What does it tell you, congressman, that the president now is comparing the Mueller Investigation to mcarthurism and rejecting the idea that his own white House Counsel and im quoting the president of the United States right now, is a john deantype rat . Well, the president is unhinged. Clearly concerned. Out of control. In the midst of a meltdown. Any other administration we would call this extraordinary and the Trump Administration its monday. This is behavior that should shock the conscience of the American People. An individual should be dealing with the wage stagnation of the middle class and the trump economy benefiting the privileged few and not every day americans but attacking other fellow americans, clearly because hes concerned with what may be uncovered by the Mueller Investigation and the other parallel investigations taking place. In the midst of this, the president s telling reuters in the new interview today to consider lifting u. S. Sanctions against russia if the russians cooperated with the u. S. And ukraine and syria. Your reaction . Well, what i dont understand with this particular president is why he continues to try to play footsy with Vladimir Putin and russia and refuses to acknowledge the fact that, one, they attacked our democracy with respect to the 2016 election. And continue to do so as opposed to taking steps to try to cozy up with them at the same time he attacks our allies and mexico and australia, the european union, nato, britain, germany, france, canada, so on and so forth. Somethings very wrong with this individual at 1600 pennsylvania avenue. Give me your reaction to the president s statements today on twitter that Robert Mueller, the special counsel, is disgraced and discredited. That his team is a bunch of thugs. There you see it right there. Disgraced and discredited bob mueller. Speaking about mueller. Its a shameful statement and what we have seen from my colleagues in the house of representatives on the republican side is that they refuse to take steps to rein in this president without recognizing that we are separate and coequal branches of the government and we dont work for donald trump and we work for the American People and enabling this type of behavior refusing to go at it aggressively. Thats shameful. How worried should the president be of former fixer and lawyer Michael Cohen cooperating . Very concerned because Michael Cohen is someone whos obviously closely affiliated with donald trump and all of his business shenanigans that have taken place for decades. And will be in a position to reveal that information to the federal prosecutors in manhattan. Spelling trouble for donald trump. Don mcgahn cooperating. Well see where it leads. Thank you, as usual. Thank you. Up next, President Trump is reacting to bluster and insults but is he really rattled by the revelation that the white House Counsel mcgahn spent more than 30 hours talking to Robert Muellers team . As federal prosecutors put together the charges of Michael Cohen, will the president s former fixer turn on his old boss . Boss . Blank plank nes, chair, new lp, 24 7 tech support. Yep, thanks guys.

Growing alarm inside the white house right now as President Trumps inner circle trying to grapple with the revelation that the white House Counsel don mcgahn provided more than 30 hours of testimony to Robert Muellers investigators. Lets discuss with our experts. Laura coates, we dont know what don mcgahn told the mueller investigators but we do know that 30 hours is a long time. How worried should the white house be . Very worried because they dont have the Attorney Client privilege to protect a conversation of an attorney and client. The presumption is working for the white house he is the president s personal attorney. No, no. Thats giuliani and jay sekulow. He is an fcc commissioner and there was a period in time when he would have known about maybe the trump tower meeting or about Campaign Contributions or anything happening and theres a lot of room to wriggle around in the 30 hours and a lot discussed and can be very damning and i suspect a very small portion was obstruction if at all. Jamie, the president insisted he allowed white House Counsel mcgahn to cooperate. I allowed mcgahn and all other requested members to fully cooperate in addition we readily gave over 1 million pages of documents, most transparent in history. No collusion. No obstruction. Witch hunt down playing the significance of this and the team apparently caught off guard by all of this. And apparently if you believe the New York Times and others, they dont fully know what don mcgahn told muellers team. Correct. I i would say two most important words in that tweet is went hunt exclamation point. We called it unsettled. I would add uncertain, unraveled, maybe even to quote a certain book unhinged. Heres the thing about mcgahn. He is someone who has stood up to the president before. They have had strained relationships for quite sometime. And what did he stand up to the president for . Whether the president wanted to fire Robert Mueller. So here we are again at a hinge point where nobody knows what Robert Mueller knows. But 30 hours as laura said is a long time to tell them a lot of things. Certainly is. And we also know that the president all of a sudden making a comparison to john dean, john dean the white House Counsel under Richard Nixon who eventually testified against him. Chris, this is from the president. The failing the New York Times wrote a fake piece today implying that because white House Counsel don mcgahn was giving hours of testimony to the special counsel he must be a john deantype rat. But i allowed him and all others to testify. I didnt have to. I have nothing to hide. What does it say to you making a comparison to john dean . It reminds me of when there was some chatter after an abc interview with Michael Cohen earlier this summer where Michael Cohen onetime personal attorney said like the loyalty to country and family. This is the guy who said he would take a bullet for donald trump. Donald trump came out with a tweet the next day that said Michael Cohen wont flip. Hes too trustworthy. I do think theres an element of that at work here which is, don mcgahns no john dean rat. Hes a good guy. Don mcgahn, are you listening . Theres no aol gags in the the New York Times story that don mcgahn is a rat, number one. Number two, even if he has given up to the goods they exist, he already did it. Any sort of cajoling, anger, surprise by the president , the damage if there is damage to be done is done in the 30 hours. Most others call john dean as a patriot. Is the president defending Richard Nixon . That seems to be what hes implying in the tweet. Going back to the other point about how this sort of all began according to the New York Times with don mcgahn, he became suspicious allegedly after hearing, overhearing or hearing the New York Times report that one of the reporters had overheard two of the president s lawyers speaking very loudly at a restaurant about the investigation, about how they differed with don mcgahn on their views as to how the president should proceed and mcgahn is suspicious saying maybe the president s trying to throw me under the bus and thus begins this 30 hours worth of testimony and cooperation. You know, they almost give too much credit in both directions in my opinion. The gesture of i let the white House Counsel speak is a farce to me. You dont let the white House Counsel do anything, mr. President. In terms of i spoke as a willing person, don mcgahn, had no choice. An exercise in futility to try to battle out in the court for a subpoena for the special counsel. Didnt have privilege but what about executive privilege . Thats the next point. What might be a reason to protect him . You want the president to have candid conversations f. The president has no one to turn to he gives less than sage advice and makes less than sage decisions. However, the courts have not fully resolved this issue of whether or not they have a true executive privilege with don mcgahn but the Public Interest of a crime commit, thats a higher threshold and one that the court will always say if justice will prevail only if theres testimony or statements that wins. You know, the president compared Robert Mueller and his team to john mccarthy. Study the late Joseph Mccarthy. We are in period with mueller and his gang that makes Joseph Mccarthy look like a baby. Rigged witch hunt. What do you make of that comparison . Well, the irony is not lost on anyone except perhaps the president talking about mccarthy in a negative sense in the tweet when on the other hand you constantly hear him saying wheres the roy cohen . Who was Joe Mccarthys righthand man in saying i need somebody who defends me, i need somebody who will speak what i want to be spoken to. And will defend every word i say. So im not sure why the president would choose to go after joe mccarthy when at the same time saying he needs his roy cohen. Theres more to discuss. Sources are now saying that President Trump is clearly rattled, his legal team in the dark over exactly what the white House Counsel don mcgahn told the mueller team and the 30 hours of interviews. Plus, the president s former lawyer Michael Cohen visits his own lawyer on this day as federal prosecutors prepare charges, might be coming in the next few days.

Comcast, building americas largest gigspeed network. Lets get back to the panel. You know, laura coates, the fact that there could be criminal charges filed against Michael Cohen, the president s former lawyer and fixer, within the next few days potentially, what does that say to you . Perhaps mueller was right to farm it out to the sdny. The Southern District yes. There was charges to be brought and didnt want the distraction and tells you, of course, his earnest attempts, you hear about Michael Cohen wanting to cooperate with muellers probe. Well, the silly truth is that you can only be coop rating if i want to hear from you. And if what you have to tell me is worthwhile in the other investigations. This is a financial matter that is strictly about what his new york finances were and nothing to do with perhaps the campaign and not a part of or donald trump and his campaign, hes not interested in all of the earnest attempts made in vain. Jamie, how do you think the president will react if theres charges filed against Michael Cohen . We are seeing it every morning, whether its he doesnt know he wakes up morning, he doesnt know what Robert Mueller has. We have the mcgahn revelations this week. Now we have cohen. I think it builds and builds and youre seeing if you look simply, if you did a phd thesis on his twitter feed you will see that it has ramped up and i think thats a clear sign of how nervous he is about it. To that point, i do think, jamies right. You do have a lot of threads, wolf. Theyre not all exactly the same but a lot of threads. Cohen, charged or not charged. Plea deal or no plea deal seems like its coming. We know the manafort trial in day three of deliberations. You have the entire thing as it relates to mueller. The investigation. The is he going to sit down with mueller . Is he not . And then mcgahn. What he doesnt know. All of those things are starting to converge and i do think there is a squeeze element here. Even if donald trump is not the target, you have to start feeling like youre constantly being surprised. People who you know turning against you. If that does happen, we have seen it happen, by the way. Rick gates and Michael Flynn cooperating. The collective weight of those things leads to what were seeing. This is a long time coming. Remember, manafort was initially charged in february. They raided Michael Cohens apartment in april. So, were just now getting to it. And the Mueller Probe, are they going to sit down with him or not is ongoing. We are coming a head here and i think he feels it. If hes charged, Michael Cohen, puts leverage on him to go ahead and fully cooperate. Well, just look at the change in behavior that we have seen from Michael Cohen. Mind you that he has been a part of the president or Donald Trumps orbit before becoming president for decades. For three years, throughout the campaign, he was on tv day in and day out defending the president saying that he would take a bullet for him. Last year we started to see things change. We hear hes upset that the president didnt bring him to washington. The Stormy Daniels crisis erupts and only good things of the fb. I put my family and everyone else first and then hear the president distance himself from Michael Cohen. In the past three weeks, its radio silence from Michael Cohen. Compare that to Paul Manafort, right, whos taken a completely different tactic. Known the president for less time. Nonetheless, not cooperating with the feds and perhaps maybe hes hoping for a pardon from the president. Either way, two very different scenarios, two people closely intertwined with the president and this all playing out and the president reacting as jamie said every moment, more and more intensely every morning. Listen to this. Mitch mcconnell during the bill clinton impeachment process of an independent counsel named ken starr. Listen to how he sounded, Mitch Mcconnell then and discuss how hes changed over the 20 years. Our nation is indeed at the crossroads. Where we pursue the search for truth or dodge and weave and avoid the truth . Im talking of illegal conduct of the president of the United States. That the president engaged in a persistent pattern and path of obstruction. The attacks on Kenneth Starr are unconscionable. The attacks, the ruthless onslaughts carried out by the closest advisers to the president of the United States. I think it is important that the president and the people stop the smear campaign. Let ken starr do the job and let the American People learn the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. That was then. This is and this is now. So, do i think that were going to hear Mitch Mcconnell ever say that about Robert Mueller . No. When pigs fly. Its just not going to happen. Unless once again, we dont know what Robert Mueller has to say. Yes. If there is something huge, a smoking gun, then will Mitch Mcconnell possibly change and address it differently . Yes. But is it likely . No. I do think that this its a remarkable, the torrent of donald trump and jamie rightly notes, it is amazing to say and picked up which i never thought was possible, mostly through twitter. Versus utter and complete silence, the closed box essentially of the Mueller Investigation. I mean, the contrast could not be more striking. Donald trump seems to goad Robert Mueller. We used to talk why is he not mentioning Robert Mueller . Mueller continues detail, detail. Mcgahn, 30 hours. Plea deals. Drives donald trump batty. Stick around. More news to follow. Sources telling cnn the president is rattled by new reports that the white House Counsel don mcgahn provided more than 30 hours of testimony to the special counsels investigators.

Jurors have been going through evidence for a third day in the trial of former Trump Campaign chairman Paul Manafort. Once again, there were mysterious conferences between lawyers and the judge. Our justice correspondent Jessica Schneider outside the courthouse in virginia. Is the jury closer to a verdict . Reporter thats the big question, the question were asking all day out here, wolf of. The only thing the jury told the judge all day today was that theyll deliberate until 6 15 p. M. Or they could deliberate until at least, at least 6 15 p. M. An i put it both ways because whether the judge relayed that message to people in the courtroom, he did say it both ways. Until or at least 6 15. Theres still some question. The jury already deliberated eight hours. Theyre going into their ninth hour right now and notably this is the long earl that the jury deliberated. First two days they wrapped up the first day at 5 30. On friday at 5 00. And now theyre stretching into 6 15 and started the deliberations at 9 35 this morning. We havent heard from them except what they told the judge, to go until about 6 15 or maybe even later. So of course, this jury has a lot to go through. Those 18 complicated counts and theyve been sitting through presumably a lot of the documents, 388 in all. 27 witnesses who they heard testimony from. So its a lot for this jury, wolf. We continue to wonder, are they closer to a verdict . What does their precise or semiprecise timing of 6 15 mean . We have to wait for another half hour or so. Wolf . Soon find out. Whats at stake for mueller and his team with the outcome of this trial, jessica . Reporter this is a high stakes trial. We have all been watching it very closely. This is the first time we have seen a trial from any of these indictments from the Robert Mueller probe and, of course, we have seen the president calling ate witch hunt, ramping up the tweet. So really any acquittal of Paul Manafort, that would just add more fuel to that fire that republicans putting throughout to shut down the probe. On the flip side here, getting a conviction of Paul Manafort, even a partial conviction perhaps, it would lend credence to the Mueller Probe continuing here and going on for perhaps several more weeks or perhaps months. So yes, a lot rides on this trial, wolf. Certainly does. Well stand by and get ready to hear from you once we get word. Thank you. Coming up, more on our top story.

Experts are looking at whether donald trump jr. Could face legal trouble because of what Rudy Guiliani said about the trump tower meeting in 2016. Rudy guiliani in trying to defend donald trump jr. Brought more attention to conflicting accounts of the meeting, accounts that are drawing attention to a potential violation of the law. Are you bored of winning . Reporter tonight, public scrutiny over the president s eldest son is intensifying. Questions whether he could face legal trouble for the fateful trump tower meeting, gaining more attention. Issuing a passionate defense of donald trump jr. , the president s attorney, Rudy Guiliani, in denying any collusion says trump jr. Didnt know before the june, 2016 trump tower meeting that Natalia Veselnitskaya would represent the kremlin in the meeting.
