She joins us now. What did these emails between butina and gordon reveal . Yeah, they showed that the two met at an embassy event, a party at the Swiss Embassy in late september 2016. So really in the final weeks of the Trump Campaign. And then paul erickson, the republican operative who she was apparently dating kind of connected the two of them over email, and they show that the fact that j. D. Gordon had this trump tie appeared to be important to the email relationship that they then struck up. Paul erickson referred to the fact that he was an important person likely in a trump transition, and then j. D. Gordon himself sent back to ms. Butina at some point a copy of a story from politico noting that he had a role in the trump transition. And there was an invitation from gordon to her to attend a concert as well as his Birthday Party in the fall of 2016 . Yeah, thats right. They have a series of emails.

Anderson Cooper takes viewers beyond the headlines with indepth reporting and investigations. Took the stand at his trial and the testimony was damaging to say the least. As for the former madam, Kristin Davis, today we learned she talked with muellers team. Shimon proyew pez joins us with the latest. Lets talk about what came to light on this day four of the trial. Certainly damaging testimony, as you say, for Paul Manafort. An accountant taking the stand who really is the first person who has direct knowledge of manaforts alleged scheme. She was given immunity to testify. Her name is cindy la porter. She was a long time accountant for him, and really a big day for prosecutors here in that really what she showed was that manafort had asked her to falsify documents. Some of this activity, you know, when he was running the Trump Campaign in 2016. In one case, she says that he asked her to say that money that he had in offshore accounts was a loan when it was, in fact, income which reduc
magazine. thanks to both of you. julian, you first. the president trying to rewrite accounts saying in this recent interview because of article 2 he could have fired mueller, but he just didn t want to. he could do anything he wants. meantime, don mcgahn s earlier testimony saying that he was asked to carry out those orders but refused to do so. how is this beneficial to the president to stick to the narration that he wants regardless of what the report may have said? that s always his strategy. if the facts say one thing, he ll say what he wants, and he is just going to contradict what the mueller report says. and on article 2, he is claiming immense presidential power. so it s not simply that the report is wrong. it s that he can do whatever he wants. it s a nixonian defense of the presidency. and i think those are the two pillars of what you re going to hear in the coming months. olivia, the president officially relaunches his 2020 bid. for the white house. do you expect this ru
to prevent mueller from looking at his personal finances. the question isn t whether he s committed felonies and whether they ve been well documented because all these things are open and notorious. the question is do we have the political support in the country so that we d have not only the legal right but the political capacity to remove this president. we don t have that support yet. and i don t think we ll have it unless new information is presented to the american people. just because he s crossed the line legally and technically doesn t mean that the people are ready to support impeachment. okay. so then with that said will you continue to push to impeach president trump? i support impeaching president trump. and i think it s important that we talk about impeaching president trump because imagine what he would have done in his first two years of office if no one was even breathing a word about impeachment. we know that he would have fired mueller and he would have done dozen
i support impeaching president trump. and i think it s important that we talk about impeaching president trump because imagine what he would have done in his first two years of office if no one was even breathing a word about impeachment. we know that he would have fired mueller and he would have done dozens of other things. god knows what crosses his mind. and now and then something holds him back. so it s important that impeachment be on the table. it is legally justified. but it s not politically possible to actually remove the president until we change the thinking of the american people. okay. so i want to ask you about something else that s very important today. about the white house press secretary sarah sanders today refusing to confirm or deny an axios report that the president told donors that democrats hate jewish people. even though trump said this to reporters. watch. the democrats have become an anti-israel party.
