The White House Press corps have had for him all week about this. He also left for bedminster this afternoon, ignoring questions once again. Its just a pattern of this white house refusing to answer for why statements made both from the president and also from his senior aides at the White House Press podium have not turned out to be true, or at least they are now under question based on what we now are hearing from what Michael Cohen might have to say to special counsel mueller. It wouldnt be the first time that Sarah Sanders has had to correct herself after making statements about what the president knew and didnt know, but this time Sarah Sanders hasnt even been available to answer questions about this. The white house has been virtually silent. Yeah. Is there reporting on how the president is feeling about the latest news . Reporter well, the president has been very angry. Thats what were hearing from an Administration Official this week. Hes been watching the coverage on televisio
Case of the white house making statements about what the president did and did not know. Senior Trump Officials have said the president didnt know anything about these payments. That turned out to be completely untrue based on the audiotape of the president himself talking about that payment were Michael Cohen before the election. But, again, here the white house refusing to talk about it. White house aides are now referring questions about this issue to the president s outside lawyers even though some of these issues involve the statements made by people who worked in the white house now or very recently. So, anderson, theyre hoping that we dont continue asking questions about this. There hasnt been a White House Press briefing in several days. There have only been three this month at all. They are clamping down on the opportunities that reporters get to ask both the president and also senior white house officials questions about all of these matters. Abby phillip, thanks very much. N
popular vote. he lied about and got, you know, sean spicer to lie about the crowd size. i mean those are just two demonstrably things on, what, the first day in office or second day. so it s been a litany of things since then. yeah. i not to put too fine a point on it, anderson, steve, look, brother, you are living in an entirely separate linguistic universe if you believe that donald trump does not lie out his ass every single day. he is infamous. these are not just lies of omission. these are lies of assertion. this is a guy who lies about everything constantly. here s the lie. it s not just some here s the lie. [ overlapping voices ] steve, it s not some deep conspiracy. here s the real lie. he makes factual misstatements every single day. every single day. here s the real lie. the real lie one at a time. [ overlapping voices ] steve. here s the real lie.
tower deal in december is just another factor that goes into this whole russia narrative. i will faithfully execute reporter: when trump became president, he did not bring his brash wingman to washington. do you think he wanted to be in the white house, be white house counsel or there must have been a part of him that was dreaming of a great job at 1600 pennsylvania avenue. but he s also the guy who not only knows where all the bodies are buried, he buried a lot of them himself. and that ironically disqualified him. they say i m mr. trump s pit bull, that i am his i m his right-hand man. i mean there s i ve been called many different things around here. reporter: because if you re michael cohen, at least until now, you ve always been called the ultimate loyalist. the words the media should be using to describe mr. trump are generous reporter: michael cohen, it
moscow under, quote, necessary conditions, i m wondering what you suppose those necessary conditions are. well, actually, you know, i don t know. but i just found that very interesting that putin, who i think emerged as the alpha dog after the helsinki press conference, it seems to me he s gotten a bit cavalier about the fact that he doesn t have to kowtow to the u.s. or to president trump. and so now he s going to lay out conditions, which normally heads of state don t do when they re going to meet with the president of the united states. now, it could be any number of things. it s been alluded to the referendum in the ukraine, which would be bad and certainly go against the wishes of the ukrainian government. a de facto or de jure recognition of assad in syria and basically an evacuation. i don t know what those conditions might be. i know one thing, he d probably prefer not to be exposed to a free press that can ask him
