donald trump and roger stone, the fact i mean, all of these things come together make the trump position factually more difficult to maintain. kim, i want to ask you because there was something the end of this document. it ends like one of the writers and producers here described it as a cliffhanger. mueller walks through cohen s false statements over eight pages and ends with this. the day after cohen s call with assistant one, someone who works with dmitry peskov, individual two, that s felix sater, contacted him considering for a call and sart wrote to cohen it s about the president of russia. they called today, and then it ends, like a like a thriller, like the end of a chapter in a thriller. you ve worked on documents like this. what s the reason for a cliffhanger like that? as i said earlier, it sounds like this actual plea could be used to build a case against other people. that is, if you re going to use him as a witness, you want him to sound like he s had a mea
deal thanks to president trump s secretary alex acosta. the paper found as a u.s. attorney in 2007 acosta and another federal prosecutor struck a plea deal with epstein s legal team just as the fbi was investigating years of alleged sex crimes. the herald report ensteepstei accusations including 36 underage victims, a steady stream of girls 16 and under in and out of his palm beach mansions and allegations that he paid teens to recruit more young victims. a private investigator for the legal team representing the victims had this to say. i read the report. there were multiple allegations of sex trafficking, trafficking girls across lines, using his airplane to traffic girls, witness intimidation and then all of a sudden it disappeared.
putin, and it would be the same thing that we ve seen before. now the white house has said it s cancelled for now. do you think the scrapping of the meeting is entirely because of the russia aggression against campaign? you don t think cohen has anything to do with it? i don t buy the wag the dog theory. i don t think this is wag the dog. they started a war in wag the dog. i happened to be on network here right after the president of ukraine the other day, on cnn international, and i listened. it s a serious situation of what took place. sure. they are on the verge of war on the crimean peninsula. they are at war right now, but an escalated war. it s a very serious situation. i think the president probably got the full briefing, at kaitlan outlined from secretary pompeo, secretary mattis, ambassador bolton and realized the gravity of it and said this is the key time, g 20, everybody is there, a big snub to putin, and putin has been saying this is all made up, totally made
mixing his personal business profits and perhaps putting them over the interests of the united states and lying to the electorate. sure, it stinks, but it s not a conspiracy is all i m saying. first of all, it may be conspiracy. not to interfere with the election. there s no evidence of that? no, but now you have another piece of evidence of of active business dealings and conspireing by trump with the russian government at the time at the same time that you have other people who are agents of trump dealing with all the things we ve seen about the hacking and guccifer and wikileaks and everything else. it s another point of of of trump s close relationship with the russians while he was denying it, and it all turns in the same direction. president trump basically responded to what you said earlier. he basically said are he wasn t president and he was just a candidate. he can do whatever he wants. take a listen. even if he was right, it doesn t matter, because i was al
during the campaign. is that true? well, no, he s not allowed to do whatever he wants during the campaign. okay. he s allowed to have private dealings with the russians. he is not allowed to have private business dealings with the russians and lie to the american electorate and change the republican platform, in other words to mix his public policy and probably the public policy going forward into his presidency. when you say he s not allowed, to i m not disputing that it stinks, but it s not illegal, right? it s not illegal to have public to have business dealings with the russians. that s not illegal to change the republican platform. it may very well be illegal to take the public it s certainly illegal if he s done anything as president based on his business relationships with the russians, and this is another piece of evidence going
