We have a good sense, obviously, of what mr. Mcgahn testified to. I can figure it out. How do you say that, good sense . Have you debriefed him . No, no. But mr. Dowd has a good sense of it. He talked to them at the time. The times reports that Rudy Giuliani refused to follow trumps orders on television yesterday. The article sent out of a scramble on saturday. The president sequestered at his private golf club and solicited opinions on the possible repercussions from the article. The president ordered

News, analysis and interviews with politicians and observers. Back in the jury room. So how this all unfolded, just after 11 00 a. M. , the jury did send a note to the court asking the judge, judge, what do we do if we cant come to a unanimous decision on one of the 18 counts. That implies that perhaps they have reached a decision unanimously on the other 17 counts, but they havent said that definitively. What the judge had to do was he had to come up with instructions to give the jury as it pertained to them going back and deliberating yet again. That just happened.

The latest news from around the world with host Brooke Baldwin. The elements of a crime. I had cases trying to plead guilty and he said what you said is not a crime, i am not accepting your plea.

Well, actually the president was not named in the indictment or in the plea agreement. Michael cohen did an audible during his allocution, said the president directed me to do it, not in the documents that were signed. That came as a big surprise. The bottom line is Michael Cohen admitted to a crime, rather than take a bullet for the president , he shot a seering missile. Right now, the white house is not articulating a defense. Rule one. Dont allow your client to speak. The more President Trump speaks, the worse it gets. What do you make of his defense . It is not a valid defense. Three defenses the white house has to make.

Good to have all of you with us. Mark, lets start off here first with the relationship between the president and Michael Cohen. The president trying to downplay this relationship. It sounds lu s like he is goinga George Papadopoulos coffee boy relationship when it comes to Michael Cohen. Its absurd were having to have this discussion. What we have seen from President Trump is that he is very effective, as is his allies, in trying to divert attention, create chaos, create doubt about everything. He could be holding up a piece of paper and say its black and its white. People will believe him. When are we going to say, you
know what . What he is saying is absurd. Its unrealistic. He has to come to some realization that he has to tell the truth. We have to know the truth in order for us to move forward. Right now, we are ve
