i had a robust discussion with him. that s the sort of discussion you have when you develop a working relationship and you work well together. and what came out of that was his clarity that actually he had been talking when he used that particular phrase he had been talking about a general level of debate. indeed, i had further conversations with him through the morning. when we come back here on newsroom the future of obamacare is in jeopardy. we ll take a look at the health care law s troubled past and what might happen in the future? it s a future donald trump doesn t want to see. let obamacare fail. it will be a lot easier. i think we re probably in that position where we ll let obamacare fail. we won t own it. i won t own it. i can tell you the republicans won t own it. we ll let obamacare fail and then the democrats will come to us and then they will say how do we fix it?
market attack in strasburg. as evidence from this tweet from the french interior minister, last night i was on the streets of strasburg, i saw the people of france applauding our policemen, i haw the inhabitants salute their action and tomorrow we ll stone this. this i ll never tolerate. again these things happening within a week of one another. do you believe any of that plays factor into how this weekend s protests continue? well, i mean, again, i think it s well-known that the tragedy in strasburg is certainly a major element to bring, you know, most people back to more reasonable terms. but you will never repress the most extreme parts of that movement to try to take advantage of that surge, and that s precisely what s happening. it s interesting that president macron himself was in strasburg
a pivotal figure back then was john dean. john dean the white house counsel under the former president nixon. his damaging testimony during the watergate hearings eventually led to nixon s resignation but now 45 years later dean says watergate was small potatoes compared to what he sees around the trump white house. here s what he told john berman. reporter: about all of this today this is what you wrote, this what we re seeing today is much more damning than watergate and it s just getting started. you believe this is already more damning than watergate? well, the few sentences that precede that i noted how we have the president s campaign is under investigation. the president s transition is under investigation. his inauguration is under investigation. his presidency is under investigation. he and his family are under investigation for their
benefits. cnn correspondent explains how this change could have broad implications even for children who are u.s. citizens. reporter: the same month that donald trump was elected president, this woman came to the united states. but it wasn t easy. when the couple found out they were expecting a baby they were earning close to minimum wage. i was so sad at that time. somehow i asked myself why i do have to come here? but i also tell myself this is the country of hope. reporter: that was 2017. now the department of homeland security is proposing a new policy to deter immigrants from using a wide range of public benefits like california s medical assistance program. if i don t have that, maybe i
you were doing your best to tell the truth about everything related to their investigation, everything related to russia. do you think president trump is telling the truth about that? no. it s a big statement. reporter: he says he s not done talking. if they want me, i m here. and i m willing to answer whatever additional questions that they may have for me. reporter: cohen says the person in the white house now is not the trump he once admired. i think the pressure of the job is much more than what he thought it was going to be. reporter: cohen reports to prison in march and will pay more than $1 million in restitution. a stunning fall from grace for a man who said he was loyal to a man for too long. the man doesn t tell truth and it s sad i should take responsibility for his dirty deeds. a legal challenge facing the trump white house may have drawn many parallels to the watergate scandal in the 1970s.
