A recap of the days news. Me late one night, to hit the reset button on his life and liz previous loyalty to such a man that he considered especially after helsinki to be a danger to our country. As president of the united states. So do you know what giuliani has been saying . Hes a liar, this is nothing more than a series of lies, hes a liar, liar, liar, liar. What do you say to that . The man who said truth is not truth. The man who takes away any dispute of fact that donald trump committed a crime when he directed my client, Michael Cohen to pay the money to miss daniels. It was Rudy Giuliani who broke the Attorney Client privilege, contradicted president trumps lie on Air Force One who said,
mr. Trump reimbursed Michael Cohen for the advance money paid to miss daniels to keep her quiet. That is Rudy Giuliani saying that donald trump knew, directed and paid Michael Cohen. There is no allegation of any wrongdoing against the president in the government charges against mr. Cohen. This
A recap of the days news. This is cnn tonight. Im don lemon. You want to Pay Attention to this hour. Weve got a lot going on. Its 11 00 p. M. On the east coast. Were live with breaking news tonight.

disagreement as to the direction that was provided but your earlier suggestion was that this is being done as an illegal activity, which has yet to be determined. it has yet to be determined let me just say this. the justice department guidelines are the president can t be indicted so prosecutors may not look to see whether the president broke the law here, they may not investigate it any further. the constitution says it s congress s job to provide this oversight. why not look for the answers? can t congress look for the answers? they re phototally legitimate questions. so having a hearing. you have a hearing going on right now with mr. miller who has started the process. he will do a report to congress based upon whether or not there was any activity with the russians concerning the campaign that mr. trump ran and to this point there has been no evidence of any collusion there. this isn t about sorry, this isn t about collusion. this isn t about collusion.
unindicted co-conspirator? yeah, it makes him there s something called agency liability. when you are telling somebody to do something at your direction, you are responsible for that crime. whether he agreed to do it with cohen, it s certainly one way of looking at it. he actually is responsible for the crime, as cohen was his agent. either way, if cohen is telling the truth, donald trump has committed a felony. full stop. that is serious business. there s no way to explain that away as a witch hunt. this isn t the mueller team doing this, this is a bunch of prosecutors doing their job in new york. this isn t about collusion. there s no discussion one way or another about collusion or the dossier or any of that other nonsense we ve been hearing about on fox news or the president s team talk about. this is a federal crime, and the president s own former lawyer is the one who says he did it under oath. wouldn t it be interesting.
