The days biggest political and news stories, with interviews and reporting from around the nation. Ricochetting across the political universe tonight which are the ones that involve appear to involve the president of the United States. That he was directed to make payments in coordination with the candidate and with the campaign of President Donald Trump to two women. One was in one involved a payment to a woman 150,000, believed to be Karen Mcdougal. The second to a payment believed to be Stormy Daniels in october of 2016, rather, for 130,000. And for that payment Michael Cohen told the court that he received restitution for that payment or he received the money back for that payment from the candidate who is believed to be donald trump. Throughout this investigation, this particular investigation which stemmed from the Special Counsels office, from robert mueller, has been done in coordination with that office and prosecuted by career and seasoned Public Corruption Public Corruption
to start considering that as a possibility. like democrats, for example, should start vocalizing that more. but no, republicans by and large are saying that the manafort trial, for example, does not have anything to do with russian election interference, that neither does cohen and of course that s just not true with regard to the manafort trial. against the backdrop, just like seth said, is all of the work that manafort did for pro-russian oligarchs in ukraine and his attempts to cover that up while he was working on the trump campaign and over the course of the decade, of course, that he was working for the pro-russian government and ukraine. it s more about reading between the lines here, but i think it s safe to say republicans are not going to abandon the president any time soon. megan, there is a little bit of an achilles heel here for the president. in july when we started to hear that michael cohen might talk about knowing that donald trump knew about the trump tower meeting,
curious, megan, as to what this does. what happens next, right? because there are a whole lot of americans thinking that s got to be it. this has to be the end of the legitimacy of the trump presidency if you believed there was any shred of legitimacy left. but the fact is what happens next? yeah, i think one of the big questions is and i don t know if this is happening while we re on the air right now, but what are republicans in congress saying? i haven t seen anything yet. what is the political reaction going to be if this is not something that s going to be handled in criminal court against trump, you know, honoring the not indicting a sitting president. what are the political implications, what are those going to be. and then i think that there s also just this i think there is also this i was involved in the coverage of the harvey weinstein story and the whole me too movement. and i just think culturally it s important campaign finance violations and the technicalit
these two cases that are completely separate from that, you know, also in 2015 was brought a case, a criminal case by the cops. there was a woman who had met an italian model who had gone to weinstein s office for a business meeting. and within hours went and reported to the police that she had been groped by him, that he tried to sexually abuse her. she wore that wire. she got what by many sort of interpretations sounds like a confession. and yet the district attorney s office didn t bring charges. and so the office has come under a lot of criticism for that, especially in recent months when all of these other allegations have come out against him. and so i think that the office was under intense pressure to make sure that it did its job this time around. megan twoey who has literally been part of the story since you broke it, thanks for coming on the beat tonight. my pleasure. ahead we have former vogue editor at large, fall back friday, which should be good. first you may have
