That is being led by the u. S. Attorneys office in manhattan. One more detail from this extraordinary new report before we bring in the reporter who broke that news. Quote, people close to mr. Trump and mr. Cohen regard the warrant as an attempt by the special counsel robert s. Mueller to pry into mr. Trumps personal life, using other prosecutors as his proxy. Mike schmidt, one of the reporters who broke this news joins us now. Take us through this report and help us understand how it builds on the reporting that youve done and your colleagues have done this week about the raid of mr. Cohens home and offices. What are they looking for so, they were looking for a wide range of things, stuff related to Stormy Daniels, but stuff related to other women who had reached these nondisclosure agreements, these secret ways that Michael Cohen was paying people in exchange for their silence. They are asking for stuff related to the Parent Company of the National Inquirer, what role was the Nationa

Admiral, welcome. Thank you for being here. Thank you, paul. Paul on the terms that the secretary of defense set out, general dunford set out militarily, was this strike a military success .

Prospect of issuing a grand jury subpoena to compel the president to testify under oath oath if e doesnt sit down to talk. Concerns about the probe. I know when you are in the middle of an investigation, you can lose some objectivity. Are they objective about the president s interview . Do they have an open mind to the fact that he could be telling the truth and comey may be lying . If they have an open mind to that, then this is something we would consider. If they dont, then given all of the irregularities in the investigation, we would be foolish to have him be interviewed. Jesse here are some stipulations for an interview. What to you would be acceptable parameters for an interview . Two hours. Topics . Questions in advance. Relevant topics. Meaning russia, which may not be relevant any longer.

To live without you only heartbreak for me inspiring way to start the morning. Good morning. Im ryan nobles. I cant get enough of it. Her voice. Im christine romans. It is 4 00 a. M. In the east. Lets start with politics. President trump is not done using security clearances. Officials confirms the white house is considering stripping more clearances in the coming days despite the furor over the retaliation against john brennan. Several colleagues are rallying behind him now. Several issued a new statement. Among them, six former cia chiefs. Including all five from 1997 until brennan came in. They write, quote, the president s actions regarding john brennan and threats of similar action against other former officials has nothing to do with who should and should not hold security clearances and everything to do with the attempt to stifle free speech.
