cohen or other potential witnesses, that is obstruction of justice. the president has pardon power. but i think that power is limited when it relates to an investigation where he s a subject. did pardons come up today? can t go into that. you can conclude that what was discussed in the public hearing in pardons were discussed. we dived deeper. again our job is not jump to conclusion yet. it s to follow the evidence. and there s more evidence to follow. thankfully because cohen was cooperative. obstruction of justice when it comes to that testimony. talking specifically. part of the reason he is going to prison. he lied. about when the trump tower moscow discussions ended. right? so he s admitted that he put that lie on himself. saying under pressure. to fit with the narrative there s nothing to see here. he also says his adviser is
been there. beautiful place. it s a mountain town. 3,000 plus feet there. a lot of snow. hopefully they will be around for a long time. so everyone can visit. thanks for watching. cnn tonight with erin burnett the the upgrade. starts now. i love bend. i love block buster. thank you chris cuomo. cnn tonight in for don lemon. president trumps former lawyer and fixer wrapped up eight more hours of testimony today. eight more hours behind closed doors. north of 20. before the house intelligence committee. his fourth congressional appearance in eight days. sources are saying tonight that cohen gave more documents and that a among those there was one that showed edits made to the false testimony he gave to congress in 2017. you remember the testimony. in part why he s going to prison about the trump tower moscow project. those are intended to support
to talk about some specific things we know happened today. obviously documents were produced. and among them allegedly showing trump lawyer edited cohens testimony in 2017 to congress which was false. discussions to end negotiations about trump tower moscow ended in january before the primary. that s what he said. in the testimony. that was a lie. so did you see anything in the edits that gave you pause or concern that lie was written by chaen? i can t go into statements from the white house or pressure. if there is evidence that is corroborated, the white house was dictating to cohen. that false statement. or the white house lawyers at the drebs of the president. direction of the president. that s obstruction of justice. same for pardons. if there s evidence that the president is dangling pardons to
negotiations ended. this could be serious for ivanka trump. she knew that was a lie if she saw the testimony. do you want to hear from her? she could come before congress. i ll let the chairs of committees sort out where that is. i don t think her hands are clean at all. in this. considering the role she played and the knowledge she sh about the trump tower moscow. when her father was candidate for the president of the united states. i understand point of the credibility. a former prosecutor you have to look at motivation and past inconsistent statements. the lies in the past were only to benefit donald trump. it s not someone who came in and had lied for another boss in the past and now we re wondering why they re doing it here. he was lying to protect donald trump. that can t be lost on what his motivation was. new reporting coming out at this hour. in the new york times reporting that rudy giuliani says that lawyers for multiple
swalwell seemed very happy. with the testimony. adam schiff seems happy. he called it productive. jackie spear said it was explosive. ta learned a lot. you know what i spoke to a republican with a different tale about today. we re supposed to get a transcript. we ll find out what happened. right. we re supposed to get a transcript. we saw cohen today wheeling in luggage. when you saw the luggage he was wheeling in presumably that was the documents that he was bringing in to the committee. he spent the night d.c. it s not clear why he would need all the luggage. they have to put up at some point. members of congress saying this was explosive. we learned all this new information. it has to km out. how much is actually new. keep in mind as you know the mueller team the southern district of new york had all
