Thinking isnt a guns situation. When all in starts right now. Good evening from new york. Im chris hayes. One week after we learned Robert Mueller had brought indictments against two top trump officials, announced a guilty plea for a third, all eyes on a former highranking official in the Trump Administration itself, Michael Flynn. A man who spent 24 days in the white house as the president S National Security adviser.

Lawyer, Michael Cohen accepted his own fate in a deal with prosecutors. The Michael Cohen case thats shaking the political and legal worlds tonight. Michael cohen devoted more than a decade of his professional life to being the president s attorney and goto fixer. He once said he would take a bullet for donald trump. I said with Michael Cohen and he told me he could barely walk by trump tower because it made him so sad. To look at a place where they spent a decade together working side by side.

flaws in the system from 2016 and that may put more pressure on the trump administration to traoefp traoet this as a front burner issue. trump s former business partner felix seder said he cooperated fully. a committee spokesman said he did not cooperate at all and spoke to seder about this. what did he tell you? seder told me he did cooperate fully. he felt the house democrats were mounting a political attack on him. he spent a statement from his lawyer pushing back against his committee. the bottom line is what felix seder helped negotiate the trump tower in moscow. he is key to who knew what about that project. the house intelligence committee believes trump was deeply compromised and they want to pursue this. felix seder is a key witness. and i think they got a lot out of him yesterday. thanks very much to you.
