As for the former madam, Kristin Davis, today we learned she talked with muellers team. Shimon proyew pez joins us with the latest. Lets talk about what came to light on this day four of the trial. Certainly damaging testimony, as you say, for Paul Manafort. An accountant taking the stand who really is the first person who has direct knowledge of manaforts alleged scheme. She was given immunity to testify. Her name is cindy la porter. She was a long time accountant for him, and really a big day for prosecutors here in that really what she showed was that manafort had asked her to falsify documents. Some of this activity, you know, when he was running the Trump Campaign in 2016. In one case, she says that he asked her to say that money that he had in offshore accounts was a loan when it was, in fact, income which reduc
A recap of the days news. Twitter and apparently from watching me on cnn, which he denies, by the way. I know this because he has tweeted a nasty hateful swipe at me and lebron james weve been discussing here. Youve probably read about it or saw it somewhere. I sat down with an nba great after lebron just opened a school for 240 at risk third and forty graders. And during our conversation lebron said this. We are in a position right now in america more importantly where this whole race thing has taken over, and one because i believe our president is kind of trying to divide us. But for him to like i said use sports to kind of divide us is something that i cant i cant sit back and not say nothing. What would you say to the president if he were sitting right here .

him . No. I would sit across from barack, though. He made lebron look smart, which isnt easy to do, i like mike. Unlike this president who lashes
What was he projecting when he was tweeting that meeting at the trump tower was about getting dirt on Hillary Clinton . Why would he tweet something that completely contradicts the statement that they wrote saying it wasnt about that and that he lied to us saying he had nothing to do with it. I rest my case. Come on, hes saying exactly what is happening and exactly what is true about him. He cannot help himself. Listen, you know, chris, we do not take this lightly. When this man was on the campaign trail with every being to be objective and report him in a fair equitable manner. And then when we became president of the United States, the same thing. It always gets me when people say this study shows theres 90 of the reports show about this president are negative, but they dont talk about the things that comes out of his mouth and the policies he proposes and what he says or does to people. How are we as media to report positively on something thats negative . The president called count

Thats the only other reference to the Trump Campaign in the trial thus far. But two days ago, Out Of The Blue on crossexamination, the manafort Defense Lawyer asks rick gates, hey, did muellers prosecutors talk to you about your time working on the Trump Campaign . Did you talk to them about that . Prosecutor from the Special Counsels office gets up and objects. The judge summons both lawyers to come to the bench.

The jury, the reporters in the room, spectators none of them can hear whats being said at the bench. The lawyers on both side stay up there and they have this long prust communication. We know its long because we know it takes six pages to trans
So theoretically, you they he has taped people inside of the white house . He threatened comey. He said, you know, you have to watch out. He insinuated that there might be tapings. She said this about the interview that President Trump gave to Msnbc News Last year in which she discussed the firing. He was being prepped by hope hi hi hicks and thecomes team to say that the doj had come up with this memo so they could justify the fire thing of comey. And you were in on it, too .
