Katy Tur hosts coverage of national and international news, including breaking stories. Counsel. How much specificity would we get here in seeing a plea deal . Would there be things that are sort of kept from public view or would it be pretty clear what the guts are here . I dont think the first filing i dont think will reveal everything. In other words, i think the first filing, announcing the plea deal and that sort of thing is probably not going to spell out in great detail exactly what Information Cohen has to provide. We may have to await several weeks, several months down the road to find out the full scope of his cooperation and the full breadth of his information. Kristen welker, i think we have you standing by as well. The other aspect of this, we set this up at the top, Michael Cohen so close to donald trump for so long, that famous line where he said he would take a bullet for donald trump. Obviously in the last few weeks, yes, it sounds like hes been telegraphing this possi
that famous statement that he made about how, you know, please, russia, if you have those e-mails, let s see the e-mails. that, to me, and i think probably in mueller s mind, in and of itself is evidence of collusion. if anybody would know about that, it would be roger stone. and so howard, you talk about their link. the director of get me roger stone, who obviously picked up on a very newsworthy subject in his profile, was on the beat last night talking about how it was roger who elevated manafort and be careful what you wish for. take a look. ironically, even though this was manafort s opportunity to get back on the national stage in an extremely important role, it ultimately has proven to be his undoing. you have done some hard reporting there. i would like you to do some soft speculation. if you re willing. it is television, howard. what is going through donald trump s mind as he thinks about these two people, one being
york city, about an hour and eight minutes from now, we re expecting that michael cohen is entering a guilty plea. he has turned himself in. this was just a few minutes ago, you see him right there in the act of turning himself in for processing there before this guilty plea, which is expected to be entered at 4:00 in federal court in lower manhattan. that has taken center stage. joining us jeff mason and back with us former deputy assistant general tom dupree. we had our investigative reporter who has been all over this just before we went to that break, he was talking about the possibility at least, we will see, we don t have any hard reporting on this right now, but the possibility that what michael cohen enters there at 4:00 will just be a guilty plea. he will plead guilty to a set of crimes and misdeeds. he will not be the possibility that there will be no cooperation agreement announced.
will he come up with alternative story line why this happened? quite possibly. we have seen him do it before and say he would do it. if something went wrong or mistake he wouldn t necessarily admit it was his mistake, he would make something up. so we ll see what he says tonight as the prewett thing was unfolding he would say pru sit a goodman and this is essentially a vicious attack from the media. so you wonder if he has that similar line tonight essentially go after the media. i m sure he ll go after the media and possibly link it to pruitt s removal as well. and to be clear, kristen mink said this, he is gone because of good hard reporting. these things would not have come to life without reporters exposing this kinds of behavior, that kind of stuff still matters. i wonder on the bigger issue here though, paul, you ve been around a long time, and anyone else who wants to pipe in, clearly the president has limits, right? pruitt went too far.
andrew wheeler is that the following midterms will be really important. that we won t get somebody to head the epa who believes in science and thinks it s matters. he ll help fix the environment and help us have clean air and water. and do anything but pat the backs of energy lobbyists. so please get to the polls everyone this fall. chris continue,kristen, i wa that moment with you holding your child, captures people s attention, because you were thinking about your child, as we all do. do you think that might have helped be a tipping point in his departure? you know, because it caught on so much, i think maybe it helped to bring a little bit of extra heat. i hope so. i do think that the great majority of the credit has to go to the quality of the reporting
