transferred from the custody of her mother to her father. and secondly, she claims that her life spiraled out of control when first contacted by judge moore. however as her own parents said in their joint petition to modify custody and i quote, that each of the parties had become increasingly concerned and worried about certain disciplinary and behavorial problems being manifested by their minor child. saying this was the basis for asking that custody be changed from leigh corfman s father than the mother. because the father was better equipped having being remarried and a stronger personality to deal with the is already disciplinary problems of leigh corfm corfman. the second problem with the leigh corfman story. third, as you know, one of the linchpins of her story is that judge moore talked to her on, quote, her phone in her bedroom. within days of the story coming out her own mother told
we re saying this is part of the probe. that s what makes this such a linchpin in trying to flip flynn. and that s what we re reporting. and this statement is saying that we re reporting as fact that he took this $15 million. there s nothing in the report that predicts that there will be an indictment on kidnapping or bribery. and betsy, the but what it does give us is the sense that the prosecutors have more than one card to play with michael flynn. they ve got quite a deck. right. rob kellner, flynn s attorney, suggesting you all reported something you didn t report. of course it s long been known that flynn has had significant legal challenges, and that s something we re seeing fleshed out with your guys great reporting this week, the fact that not necessarily on the foreign lobbying front, but the specific type of work that mueller may be considering he could have been engaged with is, as rob kellner said pretty eye
pressure that robert mueller is applying when he s trying to get flynn to be a cooperative witness. betty, he s a transition official, this is quasi-government official, private season. for him to execute the plan, he can only execute it when he s in the white house and has the governing authority to execute the plan if that s the plan. exactly. for the purposes of the mueller probe, one thing attorneys close to the probe tell me, the campaign, the transition and the white house are all considered three separate legal entities. so that makes this type of situation particularly complex for the mueller team. of course it also means that this could implicate two different legal teams since it was looking at a conversation that happened during the transition, but then would have impacted the white house. one did bit about this that s interesting, remember at issue the question of the controversial cleric they were trying to forcibly move from his compound in the poconos over to
first of all two things i would say. one, as we ve report it had story, as you know lawrence we ve been reporting this since sunday, robert mueller had enough to indict flynn, we have been in touch with robert kel near, this is the time where they ve decided to give a response. of course we know sometimes that s when we get a response, after we run the story. also, what we are talking about here just procedurally, can we stop for a second, in your reporting on the story, one of the final stages is you run by flynn s lawyer what you have looking for a response? of course. he had a chance to say something about this while you were every point of it, yes. we ve no surprises journalism is what we do here. the point, too, i would make in response to their statement is that we are talking about the fact that the special counsel is looking into that. stand by that reporting, we know he s interviewing witnesses. we re not saying this meeting definitely happened. we re not saying
credibility. and i just want to reread leigh corfman response to what roy moore had to say today since we just played his denial one time. she said i stand by my comments. the article is very detailed. anyone with questions should please reread it. and i want to say thank you to my friends and others who have supported me and my family. hand david i can t recommend to people they should reread the article in the washington post. judge moore could have said i ve never met her in my life or i met her in the courtroom, i was never alone with her in my life. that s what he said. he said it didn t happen that way. then he said i never committed sexual misconduct. that s ha opinion. different people may have different views about what constitutes miss conduct. even there, there isn t a denial. and of course leigh corfman story is enormously credible. the thing i took away from it is how good he was that he identified people in a moment of distress, carefully severed the girl from her m
