The latest news from around the world with host Fredricka Whitfield. Lawyer. Hes been lying all week. Hes been lying for years. I mean z now, fred, President Trump has not answered directly cnns questions about Michael Cohens claims, nor about that personal private recording he apparently made of a conversation that he had with President Trump. He has, however, tweeted about Michael Cohen. At one point suggesting that cohen could potentially be making up stories to get him out of legal troubles connected to his taxi business, fred. Boris sanchez, thanks so much. All right, so how did we get here . Lets go back to the week this all happened in june of 2016. Here are the facts. We know the publicist rob goldstone, the man who helped orchestrate the meeting, emailed donald trump jr. To offer incriminating information on hillary clinton. Then just a few days later, then candidate trump offered up this message just two days before
from it. The big question, how much did donald trump know an
Case of the white house making statements about what the president did and did not know. Senior Trump Officials have said the president didnt know anything about these payments. That turned out to be completely untrue based on the audiotape of the president himself talking about that payment were Michael Cohen before the election. But, again, here the white house refusing to talk about it. White house aides are now referring questions about this issue to the president s outside lawyers even though some of these issues involve the statements made by people who worked in the white house now or very recently. So, anderson, theyre hoping that we dont continue asking questions about this. There hasnt been a White House Press briefing in several days. There have only been three this month at all. They are clamping down on the opportunities that reporters get to ask both the president and also senior white house officials questions about all of these matters. Abby phillip, thanks very much. N
News coverage is provided. Eric lets go to chicago. Andrew, how do we know this claim is true as giuliani claims someone fiddled with the tape. I dont think anyone knows whether the tape has been fiddled with. I wouldnt put anything past him. Even if these tapes prove to be admissible, they still have major problems. The tapes arent complete. Its apparently a tape of a tape. And you have big segments of the tape that cant be heard. Remember there is still nothing illegal that was discussed in those tapes. I realize why everybody likes it. We have the president of the United States talking about a payoff to a Playboy Model that never took place. It appears mr. Trump says
something so exclusive with his client. Thats a breach. Then releasing this information to cnn to try to make the president look bad. It doesnt matter if the president waived the i have with respect to these tapes or conversations. You cant put these tapes out to people to try to embarrass your client. If hes able to av
Thank you for joining us on a very busy sunday. Still waiting for a slow news day. Treating all morning. June of 2015. The president s lawyer this morning renewing attacks on the former lawyer for the president could mayor Rudy Giuliani pulled no punches over the secret recording of a conversation with then candidate tromping 2016. Also treated this morning from his club. Before the president heads back to washington. K. , leland. Giuliani says cohen is a pathological liar. A very different description when you remember what he referred to him has an interview with abc news just two to go in in the interview he said that Michael Cohen is an honest,
honorable lawyer. Including one with Michael Cohens client donald trump is i found out like a board ousted that he was recording his clients which is a desirable offense. I found out he not only did the lawyers, but he had a conversation with one colleague, Chris Cuomo In which he made a big show putting his phone in a drawer. He said will b
The latest news from around the world with hosts John Berman and Poppy Harlow. The latest news from around the world with hosts John Berman and Poppy Harlow. Muellers team to the test here. Do you think he testifies . Thats a tough call. I would have to handicap it as being negative. I would not put him on. Shimon, lets remind people of the judge. His name is judge ellis and he said point blank to muellers team you dont really care about mr. Maufrts bank fraud, you care about what he could give you that would reflect on mr. Trump and lead to prosecution or impeachment. He hasnt always swung their way in the pretrial hearings and motions. In fact, President Trump used those words in a speech at a rally sort of thinking perhaps the judge would cite his words. So that was something the defense team was hoping they would get a dismissal on some accounts or perhaps some of the decisions would go their way. This judge is known to speak his mind. Hes very well known in the district and he mov
