Reporting begins now. Good friday afternoon. Our reporting begins with new developments in the russia investigation. Time is running out for the special Counsel Robert Mueller to turn in two major Court Filings involving two key players. President trumps former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort on the left here and the president s former longtime attorney and fixer, Michael Cohen on the right. Those Court Documents have to be turned in today and theyre expected to reveal what has been going on behind the scenes in the russia investigation. First, special counsel prosecutors have to detail exactly what they say Paul Manafort repeatedly lied about after he struck a plea deal with them. Last month Robert Muellers Team Announced it was pulling the plug on the agreement because manafort was misleading them. He said he did not lie to investigators. Then theres the Michael Cohen case. Muellers team has to turn in a memo about how much time, if any, they will recommend the new York Attorney ser
There is absolutely no collusion, which is very important. It is difficult to see why President Trump thinks these filings are good for him, because the one concerning cohen specifically implicates the president in at least two federal crimes. Here is what it says. During the campaign, cohen played a central role in two similar schemes to purchase the rights to stories. Each from women who claimed to have had an affair with individual one. In particular and as cohen himself has now admitted with respect to both payments, he acted in coordination with and at the direction of individual one. Legal jargon aside, what this says, is that cohen committed two felonies and he committed them under the direction of trump. The president admits he hasnt read these memos just yet, but he says theyre good news for him. Also on the south lawn earlier, the president confirmed his chief of staff john kelly will be leaving in the next few weeks. We will have more on that mayor departure in just a moment
Investigation leading up to the 2016 president ial election. Catherine herridge is live on capitol hill. Boy, to be a fly on the wall. Reporter thats right, julie. For republican, they say it comes down to two issues. Its about power and accountability for the fbi during the 2016 president ial election. Because remember we had this extraordinary situation where the fbi was doing a criminal investigation of Hillary Clinton and her email server and the handling of classified information. When they closed that and opened a Counter Intelligence investigation on the opposing campaign with donald trump. Democrats say this is really about the republicans trying to tarnish the special counsel investigation and kind of dirty up mueller and some of the key witnesses in that investigation. What we know several hours in is that director comey is not answering a lot of the questions and the republicans say its at the direction of a government lawyer democrats say that its fair game. Lets listen. Di
Democrats are stalling because the case against him is weak. The president targeting the top democrat in the Senate Chuck Schumer for his attacks on Mitch Mcconnell after mcconnell said days ago hes not an impartial juror. Yet at the height of the clinton impeachment saga then newly elected senator schumer said this on cnn. This is not a criminal trial. But this is something that the Founding Fathers decided to put in a body that was susceptible to the whims of politics. It is not like a jury box in the sense that people will call us and lobby us. You dont have jurors called and lobbied and things like that. It is quite different than a jury. As Cnns Phil Mattingly reports, both sides are playing politics while talks remain at a standstill. Reporter as President Trump continued his holiday twitter barrage against democrats on impeachment, Speaker Pelosi continuing to press her partys case in ore own tweet saying, quote, President Trump abused his power for his own personal gain, yet fo
