The first time today that his fixer Michael Cohen represents him in what he calls the crazy Stormy Daniels deal. He also says cohen only handled a tiny fraction of his legal work. Stormy daniels attorney, Michael Avenatti, is here. We also got the latest in the stunning verdict today in the case of bill cosby. Found guilty of three counts of aggravated indecent assault. One of cosby many other accusers is here along with attorney gloria alred. The day started early for a lot of people including you, the president and me because i got up and watched it. I couldnt believe it was happening. This is the president on fox and friends. Watch. How much of your legal work wuss handled by Michael Cohen . Well, a percentage of my overall legal work a tiny, tiny little fraction. But michael would represent me and represent me on some things. He represents me like with this crazy Stormy Daniels deal, he represented me. And, you know, from what i see he did absolutely nothing wrong. There were no Ca
trail. where it goes and if it goes nowhere, then it goes nowhere. jack, your turn now. you say appointing a special master is unusual in most cases. why is that? you usually don t need one. but, you know, in this case i think the judge wants to bend over backwards. look what the president did in that interview in attacking the fbi. he s done everything he possibly can to delegitimize the prosecutors and fbi here. so this was a very, very, i think, shrewd and important and justified move on her part as ken says to, you know, make sure there s no argument here that there was bias involved and it s not the fbi who s going to be taking the first cut at these documents. it s a former federal judge who s got a stellar reputation. that was a good move on her part. laura, you just heard michael avenatti saying cohen s request
himself from his long time attorney michael cohen. his so-called fixer has been by trump s side for over a decade now, but here s what the president told fox news today. how much of your legal work was handled by michael cohen? a tiny, tiny fraction. but michael would represent me and represent me on some things. represents me like with this crazy stormy daniels deal, he represented me. and from what i see he did absolutely nothing wrong. there were no campaign funds going into this. back with me laura coates, jack quin, and ken halladay. the government cited the president s comments on fox news. how damaging was that interview for donald trump? it was extremely damaging for michael cohen in particular. it was damaging for the
i m not sure why, but i just couldn t help but get that feeling. ken, the government used the interview in their filings today saying i know that president trump reportedly said on cable television this morning that cohen provides a tiny, tiny fraction of his overall legal work. these statements by two of cohen s they re saying most of the documents will probably not contain something that s privileged. so, you know, he undercut his own case. i think that s somewhat correct, don. at the end of the day it s hard to say what effect those statements will have the on the case. and the reason for that is that at the end of the day we don t know the full scope of the government s investigation.
