Chris Cuomo asks the tough questions to newsmakers in Washington and around the world. Youre defending Michael Coman . No, what im saying you cant have it both ways. You cant say for a year and a half this is about russian collusion and i was part of the Successful Campaign of this man who won fairly and squarely as you well know. I disagree with your assessment. Tell me because its patently untrue. We dont promise the audience an outcome. You have to respect the democratic process. I think he won the electoral college, and that means hes president of the United States. Thank you very much. Hes your president , too. You need to show respect to the president. We cant even get our agenda covered on cnn thats not true. We cover it all the time. The truth matters. Thats what we sell to our odd krns because thats the only reason we have a job. The truth is you lied about this. You knee about what Michael Cohen was doing with these women
and the payments. He lied about not knowing. Says me,
Get a jump on the days news with Christine Romans and Dave Briggs. 11 00 p. M. In hawaii. We will have the projections of Hurricane Lane. We start with the white house. The white house struggles to contain the fallout from the Michael Cohen guilty plea. President trump is turning to personal attacks. Cohen implicated trump for coordinating Hush Payments to a porn star to sway an election. Yesterday with an interview with fox news, the president tried to minimize cohens role in life and in business. He was one of many lawyers for me. They say the lawyer and they like to say the fixer. I dont know where that term came from. I dont know if he was a fixer. He has been a lawyer for me. He did not do big deals. Small deals. Not somebody with me that much. Somebody who said i did not live without him. I understood Michael Cohen very well. He turned out not to be a very good lawyer. Thats what the president says now about the man who once
what he did, some of the charges they threw against him
The latest news from around the world with host Brooke Baldwin. Needed for a long time. I think these are people who cant speak publicly and they depend on their leadership to speak out. Fbi director Christopher Wray pushed back a little while ago. A few months ago. I think that its great that this message has been sent and remember, ana, that every time the president talks about how much he hates the fact that Jeff Sessions recused himself, this is an angle that is being investigated by the Special Counsel in terms of the obstruction of Justice Charges for firing james comey. So each of these tweets is yet another piece of evidence that goes to this longstanding resentment and grudge that he has that as david kris said, he has not been protected and had an expectation that this investigation would go away. David, what does trump do now . Because sessions just made pretty clear loyalty isnt on the table. Yes, well, i would have loved to have been a fly on the wall
in their recent inper
Chris Cuomo asks the tough questions to newsmakers in Washington and around the world. Prosecutors. Theres no reason why they would have entered into this Plea Agreement that they did were he not cooperating. Michael cohen has a lot of information. So you dont need a Cooperation Deal to be cooperating . Exactly. I think that point that you just made is critical. You dont have to have it in writing in the documents in order to have an agreement in place. Im highly confident in fact, i know Michael Cohens been providing information. Prosecutors in sdny are expecting him to continue to cooperate because if he doesnt, they have the ultimate hammer, and that is at the sentencing stage, which for Michael Cohen is going to take place in december, they can ask for either an upward departure or the maximum. They have a significant hammer in their toolbox in the event Michael Cohen does not cooperate. Same with manafort . Same with manafort. But let me say this. You know, its one thing its a mul
A look at breaking news, politics and reports from around the world. A source familiar tells us that weisselbergs interview happened weeks ago and that it focused on Michael Cohen and the Hush Money Payments to two women who said they had affairs with trump, which trump denies. Weisselberg is a major player, in the secret reporting from a few weeks ago, cohen says he consulted with weisselberg, and in the plea deal, hes referred to as executive one, who arranged 420,000 in payments to cohen to pay him back for the payment he made to stormy daniels. He wrote please pay from the truth, post to Legal Expenses when he forwarded the invoices to another executive. Its very clear that hes played a key role. Athena how big a there et to President Trump is it that prosecutors are talking to weisselberg . This is certainly a big deal. Were talking about a person who has been working for trump for decades. He is the chief finance officer
different way for the past, you know, year, certainly in th
