to use the fruit-flavored produ products? listen, they are marketing to our kids. they re marketing them to look like usbs and telling kids, your parents won t know. that s a part of their marketing. they re using minions from despicable me, the movie, to sell e-cigs. adults can use a traditional flavored vape under the law in michigan and if the white house proceeds with theirs as well. that s a tool for people trying to get off the traditional cigarettes. but the fact of the matter is, these flavored vapes are targeted at our children. and kids brains are not fully developed until they re well into their 20s. so they re going to pay a lifetime for this addiction that s been created by an industry that wants to make money off of targeting and exploiting our kids. michigan governor gretchen whitmer, thank you for being with us this morning and having this discussion. this is a story we care about deeply here, so please come back and talk with us again real soon. i look forward
i think it would be incredibly challenging to do so. this is exactly what came up in the context of the mueller investigation months and months and months and months of negotiation over the terms and nature of the the difference is he could actually be charged. so if they have a reason to interview him, they certainly can. the problem is that your star witness here, your central witness here, michael cohen, to be perfectly frank, has serious credibility issues. he s a convicted felon serving a federal sentence. so unless they have another way to corroborate any information he provides, it s going to be challenging to get to the president of the united states. i don t think it is going to be a lengthy negotiation for the president to give an interview to the manhattan d.a. i think the phone will be hung up very quickly, and that will be the end of that. jeffrey toobin, elliott williams, thanks very much. up next, the white house moves to ban flavored vapes with a growing number
authorities might try to interview the president while he s still in office? i think it would be incredibly challenging to do so. this is exactly what came up in the context of the mueller investigation months and months and months and months of negotiation over the terms and nature of the the difference is he could actually be charged. so if they have a reason to interview him, they certainly can. the problem is that your star witness here, your central witness here, michael cohen, to be perfectly frank, has serious credibility issues. he s a convicted felon serving a federal sentence. unless they have a way to corroborate right. i don t think it is going to be a lengthy negotiation for the president to give an interview to the manhattan d.a. i think the phone will be hung up very quickly, and that will be the end of that. jeffrey toobin, elliot williams. thanks very much. up next, the white house moves to ban flavored vapes with a growing number of deaths and lung illness
