Chris Hayes discusses the days top news. Chris Hayes discusses the days top news. Of the house judiciary committee. Congressman, let me start with you. Do you think Michael Cohen is credible . I do. And if Michael Cohen is telling the truth, it means theres at least three felonies in what hes about to say. First, donald trump conspired with a foreign power to influence the election. Second, donald trump went ahead and lied about the meeting, which could be potential obstruction of justice. And third, trump junior lied to congress when he said his father did not know about this meeting. Were way beyond not normalizing what shouldnt be normalized. These are potential criminal felonies. Thats why the Robert Mueller investigation needs to proceed without any more political interference. You know, there was always a striking thing that happened on the house side, the House Intelligence Committee in your investigation into these matters, which it sort of said, well, we wrapped up and found n
Tornado warnings are still in place now for a wide alley north of houston all the way to the Louisiana State line. Cnn meteorologist ivan cabrera is watching this line of storms and which direction theyre moving. Ivan, show us where the people in the direct path need to know especially cautious right now. Good to see you, ana. Cautious anywhere from east texas to mississippi. At this point were beyond cautious. Lets focus on eastern texas because here we need to take action. We have multiple tornado warnings still at the hour. That one from a couple of hours ago, that activity has continued to move off to the east and we have numerous tornado warnings across eastern texas. Take a look at whats been falling out of the sky. Upwards of 3inch hail. Were talking baseballs coming from the sky. The shape very irregular. Thats showing you melting, refreezing, melting. The atmosphere is quite violent. Again, a tornado watch, which means conditions are favorable for tornados to form from eastern
because donald tears up his documents. we ve had stories that they have to piece together things in the white house. whereas this guy kept records. well, audio recordings and memos to the file, what the lawyers call memorializing, those are powerful information to juries. and the fact that you ve lied about something, all of us have lied. i bet you you ve told your children that, yes, there is an easter bunny or santa claus or whatever. we put people well, i m not michael cohen, though, david. okay. i mean it s i just want to be clear here about the credibility issues of this individual, who i m just not prepared to take at face value. but they re no less substantial, chris, than sammy the bold all sorts of criminals who rudy giuliani used to convict other criminals. the idea that because michael cohen has been lying and hiding things for trump that that is going to reduce his credibility, maybe in the court of public opinion, but it won t in a
unfixable. michael cohen has resolved himself, has made peace with the fact or is making peace with the fact that he s never going to have a relationship with trump again. that he can t go back, that this is done. at the same time, the president has semd aaccepted and is very ready for this project that his outside allies are going to undertake of trying to nuke michael cohen s credibility. any ounce of credibility michael cohen has is a liability for trump, so we re going to see the president s outside allies do everything in their power to undermine him. we saw yesterday obviously rudy giuliani talking about michael cohen has been a liar his whole life, which is hilarious because rudy giuliani himself called michael cohen honest just a few months ago in the role that michael cohen once had. we also saw the drudge report call him a rat. david, you ve reported on trump for years. what do you make of it? well, michael cohen clearly has done, as betsy put it, a complete break here an
first we heard a secret recording of donald trump and michael cohen talking about a hush money payment. then we learned michael cohen is willing to testify that donald trump was in on russian collusion at trump tower. and now according to a source in the daily beast the two men are, quote, dead to each other. in other words, there s an ongoing public possibly to the career death feud between the president of the united states and his former personal lawyer, both of who have, let s say, substantial credibility issues, which not only prompts the question of whose story we re supposed to believe, but also why this information is coming to light publicly as cohen is presumably pursuing some kind of cooperation agreement. that s something usually done in quiet. joining me now, betsy woodruff, co-author of that great piece and david caye johnson, author
