A brief conversation Michael Cohen confirmed that the first email that aired on nbc news is legitimate. It is an email between Michael Cohen and Stormy Daniels former attorney, keith davidson, and also a representative of First Republic bank. It seems to deal, wolf, with the transaction of money that took place between Michael Cohen, which he says he facilitated, to Stormy Daniels, who we know as stephanie clifford, a Money Transfer that took place between Bank Accounts on october 26th at 4 15. Michael cohen, who sent a message to the bank from his email trumporg. Com, is asking if his money has been deposited. Hes being told that is true, and he forwarded that message to Stormy Daniels attorney, it looks like, later that same day. Again, whats interesting here, wolf, were learning so much about this affair that the president says he denies through his attorney, we could write a whole book on it. This is more information, now documentation coming out that Michael Cohen, during the transaction that took place just days before the 2016 election, was using his own Trump Organization email as a conduit to negotiate and to deliver some of these messages between this porn actress that theyre trying to silence, the bank and himself. Wolf . You know, the legal part of this is important, the Political Part is important. From the legal standpoint, drew, why potentially could this be so significant . One of the legal questions is, as i understand it, as a nonattorney, was the president involved . Did the president know . Was there communication between Michael Cohen, trumps private attorney, and the president over what to do about Stormy Daniels . You know, Michael Cohen says no, but all of these other indications, including the nondisclosure agreement, seem to indicate that there was communication, and Sarah Sanders at the white house was talking about how the president had won this arbitration agreement and it was a win for the president , which also seems to indicate that theres been some communication. So the question is, was President Trump, then donald trump, directly involved or at least communicated with with his attorney about this issue of trying to silence this porn star in the days before the election, and was that done for political purposes . If it was, that brings into the whole aspect this complaint at the federal Election Commission that this was, in fact, done on behalf of the campaign. It should have been either a disclosed Campaign Contribution or somehow this is an illegal Campaign Contribution, because 130,000 violates the limit of personal money you can donate to a campaign. Described as an inkind Campaign Contribution, potentially. Stand by, i want to bring in our senior White House Correspondent jeff zeleny. Jeff, clearly anxiety has been hiatt the white house over all this. Whats the latest youre hearing . Reporter wolf, it certainly has. This is something the white house has long not wanted to talk about, saying these questions have been asked and answered. But were learning more about this every day, in some cases every hour. Adding on to that, we asked Sarah Sanders earlier this week if the president had talked to Michael Cohen recently. Since then we learned that he spent last weekend at maralago. He was at maralago with the president on friday. He was seen there at a republican fundraiser. Presumably the two would have had a conversation. We do not know if they would have talked about this. But wolf, there are questions here. First and foremost, did the president authorize that hush money, if you will, in october of 2016 and has he been involved in this process along the way here . I do expect those questions will be asked again today at the White House Press briefing. Of course, so much else going on here, but this has caused anxiety because it connects the president directly to this legal action for the first time. So as we end this week here on a friday, certainly a Major Development that we did not know earlier on in the week, wolf. Im going to have you stand by as well, jeff. I know youre working your sources over there to get more information. I want to bring in our panel to assess all these latebreaking developments. Joining us, our cnn legal analyst laura coates, panelist David Gregory and our Senior Reporter niamalika henderson. If President Trumps attorney was using Trump Administration email to facilitate this payment, what does that suggest . First of all it says he was lying when he said the Trump Organization didnt have anything to do with the actual payment of it or the Trump Campaign. That is lying by the fact you have a trump email being used. Did you really make a settlement negotiation and a 130,000 payment without trumps knowledge in ethical standards and the practice of law and just contrary to everyones logic . Youre seeing now that is not the case. If he really did make that payment with the knowledge of the Trump Organization, then you have a Campaign Expenditure or a contribution. The outcome of the election is not the big deal here. The deal is with the Campaign Finance laws, you have to have transparency. We have to know where the money is coming from, we have to know how its being spent and there are limits. Even rudimentary math tells you, wolf, that 130,000 is way more than a 2700 cap, which means that he should have reported it. They should have said it was an expenditure or a distribution on behalf of the campaign, and it was not reported. Thats a huge problem for this administration. In response to a complaint from the fec, he issued a statement saying the money came out of his own pocket. He facilitated, he used the word facilitat facilitated, the payment. What does that say to you . Coming out of your own pocket is not the issue here. It doesnt have to come from trumps own pocket to be a campaign violation. Remember the payments made on behalf of john edwards was not out of his own pocket to have private jets for his mistress and a variety of things. Its about whether or not the funds were used on behalf of the campaign or in furtherance of the campaign. This was made 11 days before the general election. Of course it was made in the furtherance of the campaign, but, wolf, lets be very clear. The fec has a long track record of not Going Forward and prosecuting certain cases, because even with the john edwards scandal, which, by wait, it was john mcgahn who said on the fec, that payment to rieill hunter on behalf of john edwards, you had that there. You have that here to say this is unanimous to go forward with these cases, and until they prosecute these sorts of things or go forward, it may be a toothless endeavor even though its obvious. Lets play what chris cuomo said on new day with Stormy Daniels attorney. Listen to this. Actually, we dont have that clip right here, but well get that clip ready. In the exchange he left no doubt, the attorney representing Stormy Daniels, that not only Michael Cohen but the president himself must have been fully aware of this 130,000 hush money payment. Right. So whats unraveling for the president , i think, beyond the legal claim whether this is a violation of fec rules, which is serious, is a further embarrassment to the president. And to have him, to have the press secretary, to have his personal lawyer perhaps have a lie thats unraveling here about what was known by whom, and Michael Cohens representations that trump didnt know he paid out of his own pocket were so ridiculous on their face, to have all of that in the middle of a lot of other big stories going on is a huge embarrassment to the president. And if there are more details that show that this affair happened, details that support it more on that relationship, its not just bad for his marriage but just a big distraction. And weve seen the extent to which it bothers the president , someone who is very keen on paying attention to stories that are getting the most attention and try to divert attention away from that. Heres the exchange that chris cuomo had with Stormy Daniels attorney earlier this morning on new day. Why did the American People need to hear from Stormy Daniels . Because coverups matter. Meaning what . Whats the coverup here . They entered into a deal. No, the coverup is you have attorney cohen claiming donald trump never knew anything about this. You have the white house claiming that donald trump never knew anything about this. Thats going to be shown to be patently false. I am confident that when that evidence and those facts come to light, the American People are going to conclude that attorney cohen and the white house have not shot straight with them on this issue. Theyre fighting hard to allow her, Stormy Daniels, her attorney, to speak publicly and say whatever she wants, despite the hush agreement. Exactly. Hes talked about the attorney, talked about this being a freedom of speech issue. At some point were going to hear from Stormy Daniels. Anderson cooper has an interview with her this sunday. Hes got an interview with her for 60 minutes. You have seen from this white house trying to contain this and compartmentalize. Day by day their efforts are unraveling because it is inching closer and closer to the white house. You had Sarah Huckabee sanders talk about the president in relation to this lawsuit, and that according to our reporting really angered the president. So it seems like a day by day even though theyre kind of downplaying and saying the president had nothing to do with this, that is going to be a harder and harder story to maintain Going Forward, and you think about what kind of damage this does to the republican brand, not even so much donald trump. People didnt necessarily think he was the most faithful husband, but in terms of the republican brand what this does to them, particularly among women in this me too era. Michael cohen, if the payment of 130,000 hush money payment had nothing to do with the Trump Organization, he wouldnt have exchanged emails using the Trump Organization email account that he clearly has. Everybody stand by. There is more breaking news including Michael Cohens original words. Plus a nuclear roll of the dice. President trump studinned the world by accepting kim jonguns offer to meet face to face. Is this an opportunity or is it a trap . Lets go to sumatra. Wheres sumatra . Good question. This is win.

Cnn has confirmed that President Trumps personal attorney Michael Cohen used a Trump Organization email account during the negotiations to pay off a porn star, Stormy Daniels, who claims to have had an affair back in 2006 with donald trump, a thenprivate citizen. Michael cohen said, quote, neither the Trump Organization nor the Trump Campaign was a party to the transaction with ms. Clifford, and neither reimbursed me for the payment, either directly or indirectly. Lets talk a little bit about the legal and political realm qualifications of all of this. The notion that you negotiate a few days before the election a 130,000 payment. Michael cohen says the money came from him. He facilitated the payment directly, didnt come from the Trump Organization, didnt come from the Trump Campaign, but to negotiate the deal, he used his Trump Organization email account. Really, its unbelievable the way that this, one, the hush agreement is the one that wont shut up, and also how sloppily this has been done and executed. To have this paper trail is completely nonsen sirknonsensic. The whole purpose of having a nondisclosure agreement is to not have a paper trail. Talking about finance distribution and expenditure laws. It doesnt matter that it didnt come from trump directly. Most of the time when you have a Campaign Contribution, its not coming from the candidate, its coming from other people, and you have to report that as well. For him to try and say not a Trump Organization, because if it did come from my pocket, thats not the requirement for reporting and distribution. What is a requirement, if there is something made in furtherance of the campaign, not to the success of the campaign but to impact or influence or help the campaign, you have to disclose it. The funny thing about this whole thing is this really wouldnt be a really big issue i know thats shocking that were talking about the president and a porn star, but legally speaking, the Biggest Issue is about the Campaign Finance, not the morality clause inherent in being president of the United States. I wonder how Sarah Sanders is going to handle this. She has a briefing at the top of the hour, and she apparently irritated the president about a comment she made earlier in the week about the Stormy Daniels affair. Looking at live pictures coming from the briefing room. She has a sensitive issue on her hands right now. You know shes going to be asked about this. Well, she waded into some controversy by suggesting he prevailed in the arbitration process. I would be willing to bet that shell stay as far away from this as she can. Shell direct those questions to outside counsel. This is something that doesnt relate to anything the president has said about this, in particular since hes been president or conduct since hes been president , so i think she wants nothing to do with it. I think thats going to continue. The problem is, again, for the president to be fixated on this, which im sure he is, and its been described as a slow burn within the white house and part of the backdrop at the same time were talking about a potential Stunning Development with north korea with a summit meeting with the president and kim jongun, this is the kind of thing the president will do almost anything to keep attention away from it. And weve seen that in the past few days. Thats a fair point. Its true, and you saw from much of our coverage has been on this amazing breakthrough in terms of this accepting a meeting with the leader of north korea. That is something that the president has done in the past, tried to distract from a story he doesnt like. I think the problem with this is we dont know where its going. We dont know what other evidence this woman has. He has a special prosecutor on his tail right now. This is what bill clinton went through and the investigation could take different turns. Thats the danger for him. Are there other women that would make similar allegations, are there other hush agreements . Thats where i think the danger for this white house is. The concern for the white house, there will be federal Election Commission investigation. Some members of congress are asking the fbi to investigate. There is even some suggestion that the special Counsel Robert Mueller should take a look at all of this as well under his authority to take a look at related matters that come up during the course of his investigation. So theres a lot of potential legal and political danger for the president right now. Everybody stick around. Theres more news were following, including the other major story were following, President Trump stunning the world accepting an invitation to meet the north Korean Leader kim jongun within the next two months. But where . Who will be in the room . Stick around. Well be right back. Gone. I can breathe again i can breathe again vicks sinex. Breathe on.

Eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. Not only does eliquis treat dvt and pe blood clots. Eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. Eliquis had both. And that turned around my thinking. Dont stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. Eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. If you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily. And it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. Eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. Eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots. Plus had less major bleeding. Both made eliquis right for me. Ask your doctor if switching to eliquis is right for you. Internet providers promise Business Owners a lot. Lets see who delivers more.

From fire and fury to diplomacy and dialogue. President trump makes a bold and risky move greagreeing to meet h north Korean Leader kim jongun. This sets the stage for an unprecedented summit, a meeting between the sitting president and his north korean counterpart. It also hopes for a breakthrough in the economic standoff. They say the devil is in the details and the details of President Trumps meeting with kim jongun have yet to be worked out. All we know is twhe two leaders plan to meet sometime between now and may. Lets get to the logistic challenges with our security analyst samantha linengrad. She served on president Obamas National Security council. Lets talk a little about location. As they say, location, location, location. That could be very significant. Exactly. The location is key because it sets the dynamics before the meeting even starts. Wolf, i think kim jongun is going to suggest pyongyang for the meeting. We know he doesnt like to travel. Hes deeply concerned about assassination attempts, and he wants a home turf advantage. But i think we should save this for further along in the process and thats why we should meet in the middle. This is where switzerland comes in. Switzerland is neutral ground. Theyve hosted talks in the past and the president went to school in switzerland so its not completely unfamiliar territory. They had an there is also china. They had an unprecedented interest in this and it allows them to stay invested. Finally, south korea, if you want to get closer to kim, is another option. President moon has been playing such a key role that we could see the meeting happening there to keep those dynamics happening. Another possibility is, like president moon and president kim jongun, theyre supposed to meet in a demilitarized zone. That could be a neutral location as well. What about, who would join the president in a meeting . Who would be in the room if, in fact, it happens, the president of the United States and the leader of north korea, they sit down face to face . I think this will be the hottest ticket in town. I think its important that the president fill seats to send a message to kim jongun that all offers are on the table. The National Security adviser is typically in on negotiation meetings. Having general mcmaster there oversees that process, diplomatic, military pressure and otherwise. Next we get to secretary tillers tillerson. Secretary tillerson is our lead negotiator as secretary of state, so he needs to be in the room to send the message that the state department is empowered to lead these negotiations. I think its also important to have the director of National Intelligence in the room. In case kim jongun makes any false claims about the state of the program, dan coats can be there to throw some reality around and say, we know whats happening and were going to keep watching. General mattis is also a key player here. Yes, we are engaged in the diplomatic track, but as the white house proved last night, were not letting our president ial campaign go and we want to remain on the table and re we remain committed through our military alliances. Also, having our south korean president there is important. That shows that the United States and south korea are locked in this process Going Forward. Sam, thanks very, very much. President trumps announcement was stunning but he also expressed a willingness to north korea dating back to his days as a candidate, and then as recently as earlier this year. Listen. One of the papers called the other day, and they said, would you speak to the leader of north korea . I said, absolutely, why not . Why not . Then they come out, trump will speak to him. Who the hell cares . Ill speak to anybody who knows . There is a 10 or 20 chance that i can talk him out of those damn nukes because who the hell wants him to have nukes . Are you willing to engage in talks with kim jongun right now . Sure. Im always game for talking. I want be absolutely i would do that. No problem with that at all. If you didnt hear that, he was asked, are you willing to engage in phone talks with kim jongun right now . He said, sure, i always believe in talking but we have to have a very firm stance. Look, you know what it is. Were very firm, but i would be absolutely i would do it, no problem at all. That was on january 6 this year at camp david. Lets get some perspective from bruce clinger. Hes a former cia executive chief now at the heritage foundation. Bruce, thanks for joining us. You have experience in dealing with this issue. What do you think of that stunning announcement from the president yesterday . It really was quite a surprise in what has become a whirlwind of breakthroughs or at least perceived breakthroughs. But it also shows that north koreas offensive is really going on steroids. Particularly given where we were one or two months ago where an inevitable clash was forthcoming. We have a military option to now a diplomatic option. It surprised a lot of people, within the Trump Organization a lot of people surprised. Rex tillerson said, quote, were a long way from negotiations. After the announcement, he said this. Listen. In terms of the decision to engage with President Trump and kim jongun, thats a decision the president took himself. I spoke to him very early this morning about that decision, and we had a good conversation. This is something that hes had on his mind for quite some time. Hes clearly the president , we heard during the campaign, weve heard it for a long time, hes had it on his mind for a long time. He makes a quick decision. The offer from kim jongun comes in through the south korean delegation that met with kim jongun earlier in the week, and the president immediately says yes. Again, i think quite a change, although the president has been telegraphing really both sides of the fence. Ill meet with him, but rex, dont waste your time doing diplomacy. Really, weve been moving toward an engagement with the south korean president , moon jae in, as the mediator or the catalyst. There are enormous risks, though, if it collapses or if theres a failure. Exactly. Its really a highstakes poker game. You could win big or get taken to the cleaners. Remember in 1972, a long time ago, nixon goes to china. That was a huge breakthrough. Weve seen u. S. China relations develop dramatically since then. But before nixon went to china, he sent henry kissinger, his National Security adviser, secretary of state, to secret missions they worked out a lot in advance. Have you seen any advance work right now involving highlevel u. S. Officials meeting directly with highlevel north korean officials . Not that we perceived, but there must be some channel that arranged the meeting that Vice President pence was going to have with kim jonguns sister which north korea canceled two hours before it. Things might be going on behind the scenes, but i think its more we might be playing catchup ball. Its a very busy two months coming up trying to do presummit negotiations to ensure we have an agenda to address the issues we want to bring to the table. Let me ask samantha linengrad. There is a possibility the whole thing could collapse, no meeting in the next two months, but if it does take place, where . Kim jongun, its been said, has not traveled out of the country since he came to power. He may be reluctant even to go to beijing, although that seems like a potential venue. Po beijing may be a place because its neutral territory, but we need to have an agenda to bring our issues to the table, particularly denuclearization. He did send his sister to south korea for the olympic games. They were willing to take that chance. They sent her there and she went back and everything worked out relatively well. Lets see what happens if this meeting does, in fact, take place, where it will take place. Bruce, thank you very much for coming on. Much more on the breaking news. Other breaking news were following, Michael Cohen using a Trump Organization email to negotiate a payoff to a porn star. Is that legal . Plus, the white house only moments from now will face questions on north korea, on a whole lot more. Well have live coverage. Stay with us. Who are these people . The Energy Conscious people among us say small actions can add up to something. Humongous. A little thing here. A little thing there. Starts to feel like a badge maybe millions can wear. Who are all these caretakers, advocates too . Turns out, its californians its me and its you. Dont stop now, its easy to add to the routine. Join Energy Upgrade california and do your thing. Us a little history. There have been several senior american officials who have made the trip to pyongyang. Thats right, wolf, there actually has been in the last 25 years. First up, president jimmy carter was the first former president to visit pyongyang. He did that back in 1994 at a very, very tense time. He was able to come away from that trip with an aid for disarmement program that actually lasted 10 years or so. So some success on that front. He went back in 2010 and 2011, the first to get the release of a detained american in 2011 to discuss the issues around a very, very dramatic food crisis that was going on in north korea at the time. Next up, of course, would be secretary albright herself. The highest city official to visit pyongyang. She did that as secretary of state for president bill clinton. A very famous meeting. The meeting was set to be a precursor for a potential visit by president clinton. That meeting never happened, but she did discuss with kim jong il a range of issues to president ial security, and she was able to secure from president jong ill a release of relations. She told kim jong il just pick up the phone any time and he came back with an email address. So she was able to get the ball rolling toward talks in a very positive way. President clinton didnt go, as we said, but as former president he did make an unannounced trip to north korea in 2009, the summer of 2009, to secure the release of two american journalists who had been detained there since march of 2009. This is laura ling and is euna lee. You might recall they were covering refugee incidents there on the north korea side of the border and detained. He was able to go and get their release and he also met with kim jong il while there. Up next is the u. N. Ambassador Bill Richardson who we all know has been there many times. He went there in 1994 first to secure the release of an american pilot. He went there in 1996 to negotiate release of american citizens. The next time he went back for eric schmidt to see if he could get the release of american kenneth bay. He was not able to meet with bay, so that was unfruitful in that regard, but he has a lot of experience meeting with north korean officials. The next one would be james clapper. He went there to get the release of kenneth bay and another american named matthew miller. Finally we have the basketball star dennis rodman, the very colorful athlete who has conducted what would be called individual sports diplomacy. He has visited there several times since 2014, one of the very few that has sat down to meet with kim jongun personally. As a matter of fact, on one of his recent visits, he gave kim jongun a copy of President Trumps book, the art of the deal. Its interesting to see we are now in the milddle of a deal between kim jongun and President Trump. Perhaps jongun was able to read the book and learn some diplomacy. Mr. Kirby has long advocated for foreign talks. Senator, thanks for joining us. This all came together in a very unconventional manner, but whats your reaction, your initial reaction to this dramatic announcement that President Trump will sit down, meet face to face with kim jongun over the next two months sometime . Well, obviously engagement is good. I have been calling for direct talks for more than a year, and so thats a positive development. But at the same time, diplomacy is a team sport. And right now, obviously, secretary of state tillerson didnt even know about this yesterday morning. We dont have an ambassador to south korea. We dont have a special envoy to north korea. So there is a lot of preparatory work that must be done in order to clearly establish what the strategic goals of the United States will be in this meeting, and its not clear at all that any of that work has been done, perhaps with a summit about to occur in under two months. So you think it shouldnt happen, is that what youre saying . I am not saying that. What i am saying is that the administration should immediately begin to do the work to nominate people who would be our intermediaries in south korea. Have the special job for north korea. Flush out a team that the state department could be using. Right now it seems as though its the ad hoc diplomatic policy of President Trump. In order to be successful, hes going to have to have a full team on the field, and right now he doesnt have that. He should move immediately to nominate the people who can help on the longer term goals. This will not be resolved in eight weeks. We need a longer term strategy that is laid out, not just a potential initial photo op to substitute for a diplomatic opportunity thats going to take a sustained period of time in order to finally bring to fruition. You know that the south korean delegation went to north korea and met with kim jongun earlier in the week. They came back, theyve announced there is going to be a summit meeting between kim jongun, president moon of south korea, next month along the demilitarized zone. Do you think the president of the United States should simply join the two of them in that meeting . I dont have any problem with a setup that has president moon as part of the negotiations. At the same time, i would not have a problem with just a meeting between President Trump and kim. The goal is to put these issues on the table. The goal is to begin to talk about what steps that both countries can take to begin to back away from the brinksmanship which has characterized the relationship between these two leaders over the past year. The talk of Preemptive Nuclear war, fire and fury, the crazy talk that comes out of north korea, we nid way to deescalate and thats where i believe negotiations are potentially going to help to accomplish that goal. How much credit do you give President Trump for his tough talk against the north Korean Leader, for the sanctions that have been imposed for setting the stage for this meeting, the north Korean Leader agreeing to this meeting, and hes suspending, at least for now, his nuclear testing, his intercontinental ballistic testing, but hes specifically saying he doesnt have a problem, he doesnt like it, but south korea can go ahead next month for their scheduled military exercises. How much credit do you give President Trump for these developments . I do believe toughening sanctions have helped, there is no question about it. I believe we should make them even tougher. We should be cutting off crude oil, we should be ensuring there is almost an immediate cutoff between any further repatriation of slave wages that come from around the world to go back into north korea, but there is no question toughening sanctions have helped. Now the question is whether or not we can use this as an opportunity to back away from the brink of a nuclear confrontation, and that now requires an allhandsondeck approach by the Trump Administration and it would be great if he would begin to signal to his diplomats that he now wants them to play a role in helping to construct an atmosphere that can lead to kim and trump ultimately resolving what is an incredible threat, not just to the asian region but to the entire planet. Yeah, youre right. The stakes right now are clearly enormous, the nuclear stakes, particularly. The North Koreans have the u. S. Intelligence community between 60 to 80 bombs with Ballistic Missile capabilities and a huge conventional arsenal as well, so the stakes really are enormous right now. Senator markey, thanks so much for joining us. Thank you. A new day in the scandal involving President Trumps cabinet. Why one of the secretaries is under fire for what hes spendi spending.
