whether or not monday s highly anticipated hearing with judge kavanaugh and dr. ford, his accuser, happens at all, one thing we know. this is a critical moment in history. what will unfold will have an impact on the shape of our highest court and the state of the nation in decades to come. john dean, president nixon s white house counsel, no stranger to such consequential moments. counselor, a pleasure. thank you. let s tick through some of the issues here. the fbi can t do this. it s not a criminal prosecution. it s not in their jurisdiction. they don t want to do it, the president says. your ruling? well, i think he s wrong. they certainly can. they have in the past. i ve seen all kinds of degrees of depth from very shallow to very deep in background investigations, and they can certainly do it here. anita hill is precedent for this. president george h.w. bush said
regime is not keeping its anti-nuclear promises. so are negotiations off? we re going to go one on one with the former cia director, general michael hayden. there s a lot to get going on this busy night. so what do you say? let s get after it. the president s inner circle, smaller than it was at the beginning of the week. his former campaign chairman, paul manafort, headed to prison, apparently. his ex-lawyer, michael cohen, pleading guilty, implicating the president as directing his criminal activities. his friend david pecker, an immunity deal from prosecutors about the same payments. and tonight, the big news. another immunity deal, this one for longtime trump organization cfo, allen weisselberg. let s get after all of this with cuomo s court. carrie cordero and ross garber.
