page to raise money for his family. and as you can see, so far, it has raised more than $150,000. he even has some pop stars giving him money. i also happen to know his family will be moving out of the shelter story. that is an american dream story. still, it still exists. that wraps us this hour. i m stephanie ruhle. i ll see you again at 1:00 p.m. with ali velshi. right now, more news with hallie jackson. stephanie, thank you. i m hallie jackson. we start with breaking news. documents just into our news room from the raid on michael cohen. what we re learning and how it fits into the larger russia investigation. that is not the only thing popping this morning. things are popping up. we re talking trump versus conway versus conway. why the president is pushing a personal matter on to his very public twitter page, going after the spouse of one of his most loyal advisers. and in 2020 news, five democrats, six states, a whole lot of headlines. the ambitious new policies two of those ca
matters as to how onerous the requirements are. for example, in new mexico, where jeffrey epstein owns a 7,600 acre ranch he doesn t have to register at all. because the victim attached to his plea was not under 16 years old. in your piece you quote the attorney for this 14-year-old, saying, quote, it s unbelievably upsetting. the rug has been swiped out from under the one girl that was brave enough to come forward and break this thing. what do they want to see happen? i mean, there s a lot of litigation playing out. most recently, a federal judge ruled last month that, you know, as you mentioned earlier that prosecutors broke the law by not notifying victims. attorneys for those victims are hoping to throw out what was a non-prosecution deal signed off on by acosta that said we ll not
process. go ahead. i agree with that. and i think, like, for example, the electoral college idea, yes, the electoral college needs to be reformed. what i support and i think a lot of us out there beginning are right now about 13 or 14 states supports is a national popular vote, where you keep in place the electoral college, but you have a compact among the states that says, look, whoever wins the national popular vote of all 50 states and the district of columbia, we will give that winner of that national popular vote our electoral votes for purposes of election. so there are ways around working to make sure that every vote counts. because right now, all we do is elect the president from the battleground states. and it s winner take all. so i appreciate these raising this discussion in a way, whether it s reparations, which lord knows that s going to be a conversation i m curious if president trump thinks about that, if he gets into his re-election that s so much de
confirmation proceeding for the man who will succeed him as deputy attorney general is unlikely to conclude until some point in april. rosenstein, who s an institutionalist, will be very invested in insuring that there s a good, smooth transiti transition. a departure that s too early would make that difficult. and there s a lot of stuff that has to happen inside of the deputy s office that can only happen with a confirmed person there. so he ll be careful in that regard. we also are watching another big story back here in washington related to that sweeping document request from earlier this month. remember those 81 names, right there. the house judiciary committee s chairman now says a lot of these folks are cooperating to the tune of tens of thousands of documents they re pulling in. we ve gotten responses from surprising people, like, for instance, steve bannon. okay! well, that s news, ana and sahil, as these documents were turned in overnight. this morning is the first
but certainly had a lot of people talking at the time. so where does this go next, steph? what s the next shoe to drop here? you have to wonder really how these texts and photos were obtained? and if they were obtained in a way that was potentially illegal. and there is not a good explanation of how that happened. although the national enquirer has come out and said that this was the result of what they called solid reporting. so you ve got some conflicting story lines here and you have to wonder if it s going to shake out. also worth pointing out that ami had an agreement with federal prosecutors in the southern district of new york to cooperate with them on that payout during the election for donald trump. yep. to silence a former playboy model who said they d an affair. so, wow, lots of stuff tangled up in this. stephanie gosk, thank you for untangling it for us. coming up, new details in
