just going to have a thick layer of ice that you won t get off for a couple weeks. dana: so the roads and the communicate monday morning could be bad. yeah, because a quick freeze. dana: i have to alert my husband. thank you. we re waiting a sentencing of chicago police officer jason van dyke convicted of second degree murder in of laquan mcdonald. this highly anticipated ruling today comes with even more heightened tension after yesterday a judge in this courthouse ruled that three other police officers were not guilty of conspiring to cover up jason van dyke s crime. that ruling yesterday came with a lot of strong reaction. here we are back in the courthouse again. everybody is holding their breath for jason van dyke s sentencing that we can expect. van dyke was found guilty of second degree homicide and 16 counts of aggravated battery with a gun. one for 16 shots that he fired
shutdown but i wanted to ask you about something else. a story leading a lot of news today. it s widespread reaction to that buzz feed report and writers were citing two unnamed federal law enforcement officials that something candidate trump asked his personal attorney to do during the presidential campaign. the respect reporting president trump directed michael cohen to lie to congress about negotiations to build a trump tower in moscow. trump also support add plan to visit russia during the presidential campaign. this story got a lot of attenti attention. i imagine that some are trying to get this story. but i remember back to 2006 and jason leipold, i was a spokesperson for the u.s. press secretary and you were the u.s. deputy chief of staff. we worked together.
while the valorie plame investigation was underway. what happened in 2006? well, on may 13, jason leipold wrote a story for buzz feed saying i was indicted by a grand jury, he recreated a tear fold moment that i told president bush that i was going to be indicted, said i told members of the white house staff that i was going to soon be indicted and all heck broke loose. my spokesman paid for out of my pocket, he fielded like 35 phone calls that day, denying that that was it was simply not true. there s not an element of truth in it as to the indictment, to the grand jury, to the meeting with the president, you name it. at the end of the day, patrick fitzgerald needled my lawyer by e-mailing him saying what kind of a day have you had today? so i m dubious of jason leipold. he was fired from i believe dana: at the time he wrote for a thing called
the land. our reporting begins now. shepard: first from the fox news deck this afternoon, if it s true, it could have huge implications for the trump presidency. buzz feed reports that president trump districted michael cohen to lie to congress about a trump tower project in moscow. that is perjury and it s a crime. neither fox news nor any other major news organization to our knowledge has confirmed this story. according to buzz feed, two federal law enforcement officials told reporters jason leipold an anthony cormier that the special counsel s office learned about the directive through interviews with multiple witnesses from the trump organization and through internal company e-mails, texts and a range of other documents. cohen acknowledged those instructions during his interviews with that office.
truth-out.org. which yeah, absolutely. but he was previously fired by the l.a. times for threatening violence on a fellow reporter and earlier fired by slade for plagiarizing an article and making up things that they couldn t verify against thomas white that previously worked for enron. he accused white of doing things that he had never done and ultimately fired by slade because they found out the story was unsupportable. this is a sensational story if true, problematic. anything that has jason leipold s name on it, particularly when it s anonymous sources strikes me as something that we ought to wait and make a judgment about later. dana: take it with a grain of salt. doesn t mean they re not correct. means take it with a grain of salt. it was not slade, it was salon. that s right. dana: karl rove, thanks. talk soon. bye-bye. you bet. dana: all right. a fox news alert. president trump meeting with a high level north korean official
