The latest news from around the world with host Brooke Baldwin. Needed for a long time. I think these are people who cant speak publicly and they depend on their leadership to speak out. Fbi director Christopher Wray pushed back a little while ago. A few months ago. I think that its great that this message has been sent and remember, ana, that every time the president talks about how much he hates the fact that Jeff Sessions recused himself, this is an angle that is being investigated by the Special Counsel in terms of the obstruction of Justice Charges for firing james comey. So each of these tweets is yet another piece of evidence that goes to this longstanding resentment and grudge that he has that as david kris said, he has not been protected and had an expectation that this investigation would go away. David, what does trump do now . Because sessions just made pretty clear loyalty isnt on the table. Yes, well, i would have loved to have been a fly on the wall
in their recent inper
let me play you the most i think it s one of the most recent things president trump has said about their relationship, about michael cohen. listen to this. they make it sound like i didn t live without i am. i understood michael cohen very well. it turned out he wasn t a very good lawyer, frankly. but he was somebody that was probably with me for about ten years. and i would see him sometimes. but when i had deals and big deals i had outside lawyers and i have a lot of inside lawyers too in addition to michael. so trump puts it that way now. but what is your sense? how much does michael cohen really know after the years he s been with trump? he knows a great deal. he was an executive vice president and counsel at the trump organization. times when i would be dealing with donald trump when he was on the company, other reporters, he would often send things to cohen, especially things that were problems. and fixer is a good way to describe it. and what this suggests, it just reinf
relationship. listen. he was a lawyer for me, one of many. a lawyer and then they like the add, the fixer. i don t know if he was a fixer. i don t know where that term came from. he s been a lawyer for me. he didn t do big deals. he did small deals. not somebody that was with me that much. they made it sound like you didn t live without him. i understood michael cohen very well. it turned out he wasn t a very good lawyer, frankly. but he was probably with me about ten years. and i would see him sometimes. so is that, will that strategy work? downplaying their relationship? no. it won t work. the reason why michael cohen came into the picture is because donald trump organization, it was a family endeavour. when you pay off a prostitute or
thing. so that s cohen part one. let s play cohen part two. donald trump taking about his personal relationship with his former attorney. michael cohen, tell me about your relationship with him. well, he was a lawyer for me for one of many, you know, they always say the lawyer, then they like to add, the fixer. well, i don t know if he was a fixer. i don t know where that term came from, but he s been a lawyer for me. didn t do big deals. did small deals. not somebody that was with me that much. you know, they make it sound like i didn t live without him. i understood michael cohen very well. he turned out he wasn t a very good lawyer, frankly, but he was somebody that was probably with me for about ten years and i would see him sometimes. if he wasn t a very good lawyer, why was he donald trump s personal attorney for almost a decade? look, donald trump has done this before, ana, we saw this with paul manafort who was convicted earlier this week, who was donald trump s campaig
and if you ve covered donald trump for a while, he was always there. this is what the president said about michael cohen last night. michael cohen, tell me about your relationship with him. well, he was a lawyer for me for one of many. they would say, the lawyer, and then they like to add, the fixer. well, i don t know if he was a fixer. i don t know where that term came from, but he s been a lawyer for me. didn t do big deals, did small deals. not somebody that was with me that much, you know, they make it sound like i didn t live without him. i understood michael cohen very well. what turned out, he wasn t a very good lawyer, frankly. but he was somebody that was probably with me for about ten years and i would see him sometimes. just a guy, john. just a guy. barely knew the guy. and what s fascinating is, of course, you ve got footage from air force one, refers to my lawyer, my attorney, michael. not that long ago, a few months ago, the administration didn t even know paul m
