80-page indictment on monday morning and we re going to indict your wife this has never been given full airing, and part of what i like to say about his credibility and let s remember, michael cohen on july 2nd, 2018, decided to tell the truth. since that day, he s been under oath before a congressional committee, before the intelligence committees, before prosecutors, he went into a grand jury just recently under oath has never once, not once, has anyone said there s a fact untrue about all of that testimony. and he s been so vindicated the attorney general of new york depended on his testimony to bring a civil case of fraud against donald trump so everything that you quoted mr. tacopina, who i know from other venues, he uses adjectives and attack words i know lawyers when they use attack words and they don t use facts, it means they don t have facts. now not a single fact has undermined anything that michael cohen has said under oath in contrast to mr. trump, who
evidence and the judge said, what was told to me by the federal government prosecutors was not true and that s a nice way of saying lying. he was sent back to prison out of vengeance to force him to sign a paper that he wouldn t write a book and the judge ordered him out of prison people in the southern district of new york and the bureau of prisons had to have been embarrassed and mr. berman tells us why that happened it had to come from somebody in washington it sounds like the sort of case you re making is there is an attempt to dirty michael cohen up or the things he did, he did for trump and they re trying now to use that as the thing that undermines his credibility the fact is, they re going to still continue to do this. but there s also preparations being made for security around donald trump potentially being tried in new york. are you concerned, is your client concerned about his security he s absolutely concerned, since the moment he decided on july 2nd, 2018, he has been
with the president s attorneys. now davis is trying to clear things up claiming cohen s position changed once his attorneys stopped working with the president s legal team. in a statement davis writes prior to michael cohen s decision to leave the joint defense group and tell the truth on july 2nd, 2018, michael was open to ongoing dangling of a possible pardon by trump representatives privately and in the media. during that time period he directed his attorney to explore possibilities of a pardon at one point with trump lawyer rudy giuliani as well as with other lawyers advising president trump. after july 2nd, 2018 mr. cohen advised me as a lawyer to say publicly mr. cohen would never accept a pardon from president trump even offered. that continues to be the case. the statement in the oversight hearing was true. the president s attorney rudy giuliani respond with this tweet saying the defense now to cohen saying under oath he never asked
before july 2nd, 2018. he simply said very plainly as you can see i never asked for nor would i accept a pardon from the president of the united states. so, we will see where this goes i think a lot of people are going to start making hay about this. bill: is? what is the definition of? bill: you know that thank you john roberts on the lawn. here is sandra with more. sandra: for more on this bring in bret baier anchor of special report. bret, good morning to you. hey, sandra, good morning. sandra: jump in here on what we know and don t know. at the very least, he contradicted his testimony if indeed he asked his lawyer to inquire about a pardon. bret: i m with john. i don t think we can make the determination but clearly lawmakers on capitol hill are. senator kennedy from louisiana saying that cohen lied like a dog in terms kennedy can only deliver in his way. obviously there is this whether he asked for a
records, cohen said they failed to reimburse him for legal fees and costs that arose from his work for the trumps that is not the subject of ongoing investigation. separately, republicans charge that speech 14 likely perjured himself after lanny davis confirmed he did explore a pardon after the fbi, greeted the new york offices and apartment in april 2018. this is what cohen said under oath last week. my testimony certainly does not diminish the pain that i have caused my family and my friends. nothing can do that. and i have never asked for, nor would i accept, a pardon from president trump. the president s legal team today s highlighting what they call inconsistency, pointing to the statement from cohen s attorney lanny davis that reads in part, prior to michael cohen s decision to leave the joint defense group and tell the truth on july 2nd, 2018, michael was open to the
