Brynn gingras joins us now with the latest on her and how she may factor into Robert Muellers case. Do we have any idea what they asked her . We dont right now, anderson. What was asked by muellers team to davis. But we know this woman, known as manhattan madam voluntarily spoke with investigators. And what she knows and how she fits isnt exactly clear. But sources tell cnn muellers team would like her to testify in front of a grand jury. This really points to the fact that the Special Counsel seems to be focusing on stone as they continue this Overarching Investigation into russias interference in the 2016 election. And davis really has a very close relationship with stone. Theyve known each other for a decade. Stone is the godfather to davis 2yearold son. Stone put davis on his payroll. And conversely, when davis made a new york gubernatorial run, stoneworked on her campaign. Perhaps she has information on his finance, his connections, his friendships, any other personal life matters
Anderson Cooper takes viewers beyond the headlines with indepth reporting and investigations. Do it. As you said, he defended his summit with Putin In Helsinki and said the russians are unhappy hes the president of the United States when Vladamir Putin admitted at the summit he wanted donald trump to win. Theres this huge disconnect. We could all feel it in the Briefing Room earlier today and why you saw so many reporters asking that question. Yes, im sure it was very assuring to a lot of americans out there to hear the director of National Intelligence, fbi director, of Homeland Security to say theyre on the case. Looming over everything in the room is the fact the president has said all sorts of things to diminish the russian threat in the past. He just said it could be other countries, not just russia. Thats so opposite what we heard from his top officials at that briefing. And it was just yesterday sarah palin called the investigation into russia a hoax, wasnt it . Thats right. She

Kate Bolduan gives a fresh take on todays top stories. What happened with this meeting beyond just the meeting. Was there any sort of further contact, any sort of further conspiracy to disseminate any of this information. Because thats obviously what happened after this meeting. And also goes to this idea youve had President Trump basically saying, oh, the russians didnt help. The russians really wanted Hillary Clinton to win, theyre upset that i won. He said at his rally just recently. But here he is, admitting that there was this meeting with the russians, where the russians were trying to help his campaign. And norm, youve worked for the administration, you worked for president obama. The fact that a lawyer for the president of the United States says that he got Bad Information when it comes to jay sekulow, who would he have gotten that Bad Information from that he was so comfortable then going on tv and repeating .

Anderson Cooper takes viewers beyond the headlines with indepth reporting and investigations. His plea agreement, including that he stole some hundreds of thousands of dollars from Paul Manafort, rick gates did, by filing false expense claims. So really, just a long list. It was remarkable to be there in the courtroom as rick gates over the course of 80 minutes detailing that long list of alleged crimes. So allegedly, theyre both Stealing Money through not paying taxes and other means, and then gates is also Stealing Money from manafort . Thats exactly right. So you have listen, this is one of those cases when i was inside there, anderson, having followed a mob priel or two, it struck me as you had the case of the bob boss there with his capo testifying against him. Of course in many cases like this, the person who is gates witness doesnt have the cleanest record himself. And that certainly holds true for rick gates. I should mention he also pleaded guilty to lying to federal prosecuto
