Cant lose the trade war. Youve already lost it. All right, we begin today with an unfamiliar name. You see the face on the left there, jeffrey yohi. He is the exsoninlaw of President Trumps former Campaign Chair Paul Manafort. He is agreeing to plead guilty in connection with a criminal investigation in los angeles. Now, the key point of this plea requires him to cooperate with other criminal probes. We got a great panel here to discuss what that means. First, lets take a look at exactly who Jeffrey Yohai is. He is a real estate developer. He is also Paul Manaforts former business partner. The two of them worked together on four California Property deals that fail and were placed in bankruptcy. But he is not just another business partner, he was married to Paul Manaforts daughter jessica before the two divorced in august of last year. Yohai agreed to plead guilty in connection with a criminal investigation in los angeles. His indictment comes nearly seven months after manafort himself
Mentioned, trump lawyer Michael Cohen. He sits in the bulls eye of two different scandals, the Mueller Probe and the payments to remember tStormy Daniels. Her lawyer kicking off the day with a tease of more to come, prodded on the set of morning joe where i was also at the table. Theres at least two that i think are on solid ground. As the evidence rolls out over the coming months, disclosures are going to be made that my client was not alone as it relates to this payment. That Michael Cohen was not a ec women with agreements with donald trump . Correct. And women who had affairs with donald trump . Correct. And did they have payments larger to then than 130,000 . Yes. Whats new is the allegations were larger than the payment to danie daniels which got him in so much trouble. We also asked if that could create more criminal exposure. Do you believe any financial dealings with these women were properly reported at the time or like Stormy Daniels, do you believe they also might create ot
Whats the lay of the land . I was told he wants to cut through the bs. I dont know if theres been any. Get the answers to the questions about how long this will go on. And this was what was most interesting. One of my sources says hes going fo find out if we have to fight. Then where this leads. They seem to think that he will be the one to do that. Where nobody else was able to do that before. In some interviews he talked about his prior relationship with Robert Mueller. Its not clear to me how a prior relationship with mueller would impact an Ongoing Investigation sfwl he told that in his b interview. I should remind people john doud the lawyer who quit had a prior relationship. With mueller. Rudy worked with mueller after 9 11. The mayor of new york and mueller was the head of the fbi. At the time. But i think that whole we have a relationship and we get along can be over done. Because a lot of people have worked with mull over the years. He said today that when she pushed him on a
And good evening once again from our nbc news headquarters here in new york. Tonight the death toll is ten in santa fe, texas, following this nations latest mass School Shooting. The accused gunman is in custody. He is 17.

Today the president issued these messages raising the possibility of a government informant who was inside the 2016 campaign. Quote, apparently the doj put a spy in the Trump Campaign. This has never been done before, and by any means necessary, they are out to frame donald trump for crimes he didnt commit. Not long after that, there was this. Reports are there was indeed at least one fbi representative implanted for political purpo
They hugged. They embraced. They had productive discussions for two hours about how they could best implement the agreement that they signed at their first summit on april 27th. They were also talking about how they might hold a successful, quote, north american summit. So theyre not even attaching President Trumps name to it anymore. While the meeting was a surprise, alex, perhaps it shouldnt have been, because president moon in the hours after that letter from President Trump calling off the summit had said that he firmly believed there had to be direct talks with north korea, and that that was something he was going to continue to push in order to implement the agreement they already had in place.
