Anderson Cooper takes viewers beyond the headlines with indepth reporting and investigations. Out of millions of dollars. The president says he is a friend of ours, as they used to stay in the mob. Jim acosta joins us. I understand youre learning more about the advice the president is getting about issuing pardons related to the russian investigation. Reporter thats right, anderson. I have been told by a source inside the president s legal team he has been advised for months now to avoid any pardons in the russia investigation including Paul Manafort. Interesting to point out earlier this evening the Washington Post was reporting Rudy Guiliani told them in just the last several weeks, Rudy Guiliani had to talk the president out of pardoning Paul Manafort until it is over. Whats interesting here about all of that is that at the white house secretary, sarah sanders, apparently was giving us a false or incomplete information that did not add up when she said that a pardon was not under di

Louis bergdorf. Well, in the aftermath of this weeks drama surrounding Michael Cohen and Paul Manafort, President Trumps lawyer Rudy Guilliani tells nbc news the president agreed in june he shouldnt do pardons while Robert Muellers investigation is ongoing. Guillianis comments come after the Washington Post reported that trump recently asked his lawyers for their advice on the possibility of pardoning his former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, and other aides accused of crimes. Guilliani told nbc that trump did not specifically ask about manafort in a meeting earlier this summer. He said, quote, we discussed it in early june and we agreed no pardons during investigation, and that has not changed. Earlier this week the president did not rule out a pardon for manafort when he was asked about it on fox news.

That is, after all, what happened after the u. S. Withdrew too quickly from iraq in 2011. It all depends on how it is handled from now. The key must be a political settlement between the taliban and the Afghan Government, and not the rapid withdrawal o
