Ironically under the threat of subpoena by House Republicans. Well, those memos, which represent key evidence in the ongoing criminal investigation of the president , were promptly leaked to the press. Among other things, the memos back up comeys assertion that the president never once asked him about protecting the country from russian interference. What any do show is that the president was obsessed with the most salacious allegation in the dossier compiled by former British Intelligence officer christopher steele. In one exchange in the oval office, the president denied any impropriety but appeared to suggest that he had talked about, catch this he had talked about prosecutes with russian president Vladimir Putin. They had chatted about the topic on one or more occasions. Comey documented that. The president said the hookers thing is nonsense but that putin had told him, we have some of the most beautiful hookers in the world. They actually had that conversation according to the pre
From our msnbc news headquarters here in new york. Day 452 of the Trump Administration, and we learned today beyond a doubt that the case involving his personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, is indeed shaping up to be a big problem for this president. Lawyers for trump and cohen have been trying to protect records that were swept up and seized in that fbi raid exactly one week ago. Today a federal judge rejected that request but ruled prosecutors would have to share findings of the raid with cohens and trumps lawyers on a, quote, rolling basis while the judge decides on the next steps here. The proceedings also brought this unexpected revelation. Fox news host sean hannity was outed as a client of Michael Cohens, something cohens lawyers had taken great pains to keep secret. Hannity has been a fierce defender of the president and his policies and a harsh critic of this fbi raid. It is clear, as i have been warning, mueller is out to get the president , and it appears at any cost. Heres what h
Absolute center and heart of it. Rachel, i know you have commented on the president hiring new lawyers to represent him in what is now the Michael Cohen case in the Southern District of new york. Ive got a little scoop about them that im going to be talking about in my first segment. And dont tell donald trump, because he i dont think he knows this about the lawyers that he hired in new york. And it could really push him over whatever edge is left for him to go over. Well, we know anything said on cable news is a secret to him. How will he find out . How will he find out . I wont tell him. Thank you, rachel. Multiple courts indicate President Trump and the trump family members and trump team members are more worried what is happening in judge kimba woods courtroom in the courthouse in manhattan than anything that is happening in Robert Muellers grand jury investigation in washington, d. C. Judge kimba woods courtroom is where the president is fighting to suppress evidence obtained in f
To join me in the show. Neither one of them have ever respected me in any legal matter at any time, i have never called either one of them to talk about any legal matter or nonlegal matter or anything like that. I yeah. Just want you to know that, rachel. The idea that it would be like you would like so many of the people you would have on tv would be people who you have a legal relationship with, the idea that it might slip your mind is the idea thats hard to get your head around. At least for me in this case. I will say, mr. Hannity has frequently disclosed that he is friends with Michael Cohen. So hes taking time to disclose he had a friendly relationship with him. Why you couldnt disclose he was your lawyer, why that would be any harder is weird. Its been such a weird day. Rachel, one of my favorite things about the 9 00 p. M. Hour on msnbc, this happens every once in a while. Is when the host of our 9 00 p. M. Hour becomes speechless and keeps talking. Which i saw you do. I saw yo

I saw you do it at the beginning of the show when you came to this point about Sean Hannitys name being revealed in court today and how speechless it made you, yet you are the most articulate speechless person i ever heard. Let the record show when we get to that transcript from my broadcast, the word gaw will appear. Thats how i verbalized it. You do create spelling challenges f
