Alleged affair because he is now released from a confidentiality agreement of sorts that he entered into with the Parent Company of the national enquirer. Thats the American Media inc. Headed by david pecker, a personal friend of trump. Pecker was recently granted immunity in the Mueller Investigation. Thats obviously something that could add yet another wrinkle to the troubles trump is facing on the legal trump. And the implication of this development is perhaps more important than the allegations itself. Because it raises the question of how many other people with damaging allegations against trump were paid by ami in 2016. We now know of three different individuals who were paid to suppress their damaging allegations against trump during the 2016 election. Two of those stories, Michael Cohen, Donald Trumps former attorney, was directly related to and admitted to prosecutors he helped pay those women during the 2016 election, fred. Sarah westwood at the white house, thank you. So thi
The president promises a book of his own, a real one, he says, as the real author of fear, bob woodward sticks my his reporting. His interview with nbc news about who, specifically, is lying about the denials and how close the president is and has been to waging war. Speaking of war, north korea is getting ready for one with our exclusive new reporting on how kim jongun is making nukes even after he said he would tone it down. Spoiler, its not happening.

We have more tossup races. Working at the vikings tailgate. Well take you there. We are set up and ready to go this monday morning. Somebody not at the tailgate, jeff bennet. No Public Events for the president today, at least not yet. We dont need to see him to know what he is thinking, that is clear. Reporter twitter is giving us a peek at whats on
I am going to do that right away. I have spoken to Allen Weissleberg about how to set the whole thing up with funding. Yes. And its all the stuff, all the stuff because you never know where that company where he is going to be. Maybe he gets hit by a train. Correct. I am all over it. I spoke to allen. When it comes to the financing what financing . We will have to pay no, no, no. I got it. Weissleberg has been the top accountant at the Trump Organization for decades. The wall street journal reports he has been considered the most senior person in the Trump Organization. That is not a trump. And a former Trump Organization employee tells me, quote, he knows where all the financial bodies are buried within the Trump Organization. He nose Donald Trumps net he knows Donald Trumps net worth. Any expenditure was approved by allen. Now, that does include, according to the journal, reimbursements to Michael Cohen.

I think it would be proper to delay the floor vote for up to but not more than one week in order to let the fbi continue to do an investigation limited in time and scope to the current allegation that is are there. Okay. Then this happened which caused major confusion. Because of the twohour rule were adjourned. What . The twohour rule. No vote . When did we come in . Did we come in at noon . Yeah, we did. The twohour rule. We knew we had to get this all done by 2 00. Well, is it done . Is flakes is it going to happen or did you cut off a vote . No, we didnt have a motion in front of us. This is all a gentlemen and womens agreement. Good to know for a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court were worried about a twohour vote. The fact is it just seemed like that was more important than Chuck Grassley probably could have asked his fellow senators to allow extra time. As you can see kelly is there covering stuff at the white house and she broke this news for us, by the way, that that wa
Due diligence. I think this committee has done a good job, but i do think that we can have a short pause and make sure that the fbi can investigate. The investigation that flake requested into credible Sexual Misconduct allegations against kavanaugh is now under way. The white house has said it will be, quote, limited in scope and completed in less than one week. But on that scope question, its not entirely clear what that means. Will the investigation be confined to the allegations from dr. Christine blasey ford . Or will it include the allegations made by any of the other women who have accused Brett Kavanaugh of Sexual Misconduct . Michael avenatti, who by now should be very familiar to you, represents a woman who could potentially be interviewed by the fbi as a witness. Julie swetnick claims she witnessed kavanaugh participating in Sexual Misconduct when he was a High School Student at Georgetown Prep tore school in the 1980s. The allegations are disturbing, alleging gang rape of w
