Coverage of national and international news, including breaking stories. Overall, because this is, you know, i think a lot of americans do view this as the president of the United States attacking a major institution, the Fourth Estate essentially. So depends who you are talking to. But with his base i would say he wins this argument absolutely. And ozzy, ivanka trump also mads headlines with the take on the trump immigration policy. Lets listen. It was a low point for me as well. I feel very strongly about that. And i am very vehemently against family separation. And the separation of parents and children. Some criticized her for just talking there, making no effort to go down to the border. What exactly is her role . Do we know . We covered new york. Is there any evidence she has a Mitigating Influence on her father for anything. She and supporters have always said her influence comes from Behind The Scenes conversations with her father
not public conversations with them. But secondly this is good politics for her and trump as a whole. If she is seen as someone opposing this policy. If donald trump can say i dont like this but we have had to do it and its not my policy. If earn distances themselves from whats happening its good for them. The reality is this started under President Trump. And continued because of President Trump. Ivanka saying she doesnt like it is good for ivankas brand which she is trying to manage. Its not clear what she does beyond that conversation. Ozzy, what is the conventional wisdom here . What does she do in general . What is she doing in the white house. Thats a great question. I wish she would come on the show and talk about that. She said she gives advice and counsel to her father looking out for the american people. I want not clear beyond that. Those are two jobs. Looking after the president and the public. When her father is the president those two missions it becomes
difficult to see which takes priority. We might not know what happens Behind The Scenes ever. Julie, the other extraordinary headline this week the five Main National security advisers of the president declaring war on russia interference in the elections. Do you think this came with full support of the president . Or did the Officials Force this display. Yeah, its hard to say. There is a lot of confusion. I would say im confused by the administrations rollout of the statements. It seems to contradict a lot of what the president has said about russian interference. I mean, it seems one minute he questions the intelligence communitys findings. The next he doesnt question them. He is onboard with them. But, you know, it was extraordinary to see press secretary sara sanders next to christopher ray, dni director dan coats. And those two men were essentially saying, yes, there is an effort for russia to interfere in the u. S. Election. But sara sanders has somewhat back the president and i guess she reflected his skepticism on the matter and said the president really speaks for himself in this on this issue. So lots of confusion, i think, in the public where the administration stands. It seems the president says one thing but his officials are saying a completely other thing. Well julie and ozzy stay with us because we have another white house Staffer Making headlines omarosa to talk about next. The president and the russia probe and the Manafort Trial, how the three intersect and why at least one legal scholar says its left President Trump very worried. Thats up next. What . welcome.

New developments on big negotiations in the russia investigation. President trumps lawyer Rudy Giuliani talked about the potential for an interview
between President Trump and Special CounselRobert Mueller. Ive heard him say i want to be interviewed if my lawyers can reach an agreement on the ground rules. We have had a hard time doing that. But were still. Im not giving a lot of hope its happening. But we havent stopped negotiating. Joining me now is danny sivales. Is it in the president s best interests to talk to Robert Mueller. That would be a bad idea. The president is caught this year because if he sits down with federal investigators he is not under oath and can have his attorney in the room. But federal investigators if you try to massage the facts at all you instantly commit a new federal felony. Section 1001 false statements to investigators. On the other hand if he is subpoenaed and mueller decides to subpoena the president , then the president will be in a grand
jury room under oath and without the presence of counsel. This is a true legal conundrum. And the negotiations between Rudy Giuliani and the mueller team Behind The Scenes, so when is it going to end. Generally this process involves trying to extract for the Defense Information out of u. S. Attorneys who are notoriously tightis fisted with information about the investigation. And since the u. S. Attorneys hold all the cards and the power, the power to subpoena or diet or anything else, then the defense is left really trying to extract information and receiving it only when the u. S. Attorneys decide to give it. And no end date in sight here. When is this going to end. This is going to end when and if the Special Counsels team is ready. This is not that long for a typical white collar investigation. These investigations can go on for years and as as long they dont run afoul of the
applicable statute of limitations then they are going to make sure they build the case methodically. Do you think the Special Counsel is taking into consideration the midterms . Do you think they are factoring this into this whole investigation . Everything we have seen about Robert Mueller to date indicates that he is as by the book as it comes and that he does everything ke to insulate himself from partisan politics. I would expect that his guide is essentially the u. S. Attorneys manual and all of the Charging Policies and not anything to do with u. S. Elections. Well, we will see. I do want to ask you about Paul Manafort because this trial has made headlines last week. And the Washington Post has an oped titled the Manafort Trial has President Trump worried. What legal implications from the Manafort Trial should be the most alarming to the president . Its possible that if manafort is convicted and there is a strong possibility he will be that he will seek to cooperate after his conviction with u. S. Attorneys in order to
secure a more favorable deal in order to get whats called substantial assistance to decrease his Sentencing Guidelines by several levels. If he does so the complaint lodged by many Defense Attorneys like me is that there is tremendous inincentive to embellish or even factor information to the u. S. Attorneys. The u. S. Attorneys, the government will try to verify and vet claims if manafort ends up cooperating. But the inincentive remains for a convicted defendant to embellish to help the government get his former cohoerts. Danny, so far in the trial the prosecution paid a lot of attention to the manafort lifestyle, including the lavish wardrobe. What is the legal angle here . How does any of this relate back to President Trump . The judge has been getting in issue right in the trial. The government is permitted to introduce evidence of a lavish lifestyle only so far as it
relates to the motive to commit crimes in order to the support the lifestyle. However, the same evidence becomes of questionable admissibility when it crosses to the area of area of saying to the jury look at the rich guy and hate him for welt because of the fact that he spends money on ostrich skin jackets. That would be an improper purpose. The judge has been watching the prosecution closely on that issue during the trial. Former federal prosecutor had a prediction for President Trump. Lets take a lesson. I think its likely that we will see the president as an Unindicted Coconspirator. And what that means is he wont be named, wont be indicted. And Justice Department policy is not to include the name of a target that you dont diet in a case. So thats why his name wont be used danny, what is your reaction to the idea of President Trump being named as an unindicted could conspirator. This practice serves an
important benefit to the government. You can introduce that persons statements against the other named coconspirators. Its a by pass of the hearsay rule. On the other hand the reason Defense Attorneys think its a denial of due process is that that Unindicted Coconspirators can never be deleted from the indictment even if the defendants are acquitted. It acts as probably an unconstitutional stain on that persons reputation for the rest of their life. If you look back our press den we have plenty of precedent in this area. Most notably nixon who was an Unindicted Coconspirator because the prosecutor believed he could not as the sitting president be dieted danny, thank you so much for Legal Expertise on this saturday morning. Great to have you. Well omarosas new book on her time in the white house, what she saw and why she says it worried her. Up next. And the president s tweet comparing manafort to al cappen brings late night laughs. Is it a good move to defend your Campaign Manager by comparing him to al cappen sent to alcatraz and stabbed in the laundry room. Why is al ka pony. Yes the esteemed company of alfonz and hess his Theodore Bundy and charles manson. Right this way. If youre on park street in reno, nevada, the high winds of the Washoe Zephyr could damage your siding. And thats very different than living on park ave in sheboygan, wisconsin, where ice dams could cause water damage. But no matter what park you live on, one of 10,000 local Allstate Agents knows yours. Now that you know the truth, are you in good hands . Im ray and i quit smoking with chantix. I tried cold turkey, i tried the patch. They didnt work for me. I didnt think anything was going to work for me until i tried chantix. Chantix, along with support, helps you quit smoking. Chantix reduced my urge to smoke. I needed that to quit. When you try to quit smoking, with or without chantix, you may have nicotine withdrawal symptoms. Some people had changes in behavior or thinking, aggression, hostility, agitation, depressed mood, or suicidal thoughts or actions with chantix. Serious side effects may include seizures, new or worse heart or blood vessel problems, sleepwalking or allergic and skin reactions which can be lifethreatening. Stop chantix and get help right away if you have any of these. Tell your Healthcare Provider if youve had depression or other Mental Health problems. Decrease alcohol use while taking chantix. Use caution when driving or operating machinery. The most common side effect is nausea. I cant tell you how good it feels to have smoking behind me. Talk to your doctor about chantix. His job in december. But now she is ready to cash in on her time in the white house. Its bad. We are worried but i need you to say no its going to be okay. No its not going to be okay. Its not. Omarosas ominous warnings earlier this year on tvs big brother served as a Sneak Preview of the bock in the public excerpt of unhinged she noticed a mental decline in the president s mental ability pch many people thought trump was being trump off the kuch. Incidentally omarosa has authored two previous books and has a net worth of 3. 5 million. Joining me now, jewel, what is the case about the president s Mental Health. I think omarosa is trying to i guess in her way explain what she thinks is President Trumps
odd behavior and past statements. I would like to say im not surprised by any of the statements. I think anyone that watched omarosa on The Apprentice celebrity prentice throughout the years knows she looks out for herself and doesnt seem to be exactly loyal to those who she worked with. I think that big brother appearance from i believe it was last year earlier this year really showed what she was going to do how she was going to depict her time in the white house. Youll see a lot of tellall books of people in and out of the Revolving Door in the white house. And youll hear a lot of different i guess descriptions and stories of how they saw the Trump Administration play out. And omarosa is just one of them. And ozzy is this about selling books . Or has anybody else inside the president s circle made this suggestion before. Well its hard to take omarosa seriously because of all the stuff she said before. But b because she makes it through a rechlgs that has to be bought and sold. And she has also known trump for many years. What didnt she know before she learned working in the white house with him . All of those things sort of raise questions. But it is an issue that other people have raised, not so much in the white house per se, but critics who watched trumps public appearances have questioned whether or not he does things deliberaterily or he cant help himself np omarosa is jump on helping her sell a book. There is another excerpt about the reason for firing comey. She writes then she had been picks had gone over the topic saying it was based on recommendations from the doj, from the doj reinforcing that. But we know that the president said that he fired comey because of the russia investigation. So julia, what does this tell us about how he operates. Yeah, i mean, it just it just tells us she has been speaking to other people. I mean, you know its hard to tell at this point. Julia manchester, ozzy, great to have you here this saturday morning.
