donald trump. but i also think it s important to know that the house judiciary committee still will play a critical role in drafting those articles and in probably being the place where the president s lawyers get the first chance to make that case directly before congress. i think that s fair to say. and would you also, if you were advising this process, would you recommend the further use of outside counsel, something that was actually briefly successful for that committee? yeah, i think both committees i think both the intelligence committee and the judiciary committee should make extensive use of outside counsel. and, of course, that s built into this resolution. mm-hmm. with a big change. the hearing with corey lewandowski that kind of went off the rails and came back on the rails when barry burke, a very skilled lawyer, questioned lewandowsky, that part of it came at the end of the hearing, brian. and the hard core people were still watching. what this resolution says t
that with you. kelly o donnell is at the white house to see if there s any reaction there. obviously the president is not there. have we had any reaction from the white house on this news that michael cohen will be testifying before congress? reporter: we have not but we did hear from the president himself claiming he had no idea about paul manafort providing polling data that was owned and procured by the trump campaign to a russian operative, separate matter. the president was asked about that today. what we will see is that there s been a consistent pattern now for some time where the president and type white house officials and his outside counsel have chipped away at the credibility of michael cohen. first calling him a friend and then cutting ties when michael cohen became more cooperative when his own personal circumstances were in peril with the investigation from the southern district of new york, the charges we ve seen and so
and he feeds this sort of narrative and there are people who buy it. but everybody else, i think, is getting a portrait, this mosaic that paints a really ugly picture of this guy and the way he does business and the people around him. and it is going to fill in and it will be become clearer and clearer and unavoidable. and no, he doesn t have enough lawyers. he doesn t have enough lawyers in the white house counsel office. he has his outside counsel of uneven quality, shall we say. with rudy giuliani is one of them. when does he start selling the boats and furniture to pay for these guys. throughout the campaign trump warned voters that if she were elected, hillary clinton would be under investigation for a long, long time. let s watch and listen. if hillary clinton were to be elected it would create an unprecedented and protracted constitutional crisis.

york city during his visit for the u.n. general assembly. the defendant admitted that this account was false and that he had, in fact, conferred with trump about contacting the russian government. here s michael cohen during that radio interview, september 17, of 2015, followed by trump just three days later. there s a better than likely chance trump may meet with putin when he comes here for the united nations. people want to meet donald trump. your outside counsel intimated you may have a meeting with the russian president. do you plan on trying to do that? well, i had heard that he wanted to meet with me and certainly i am open to it, i would love to do that if he wants to do that. i don t know that it will take place. i m not sure. i know people have been talking but we ll see what happens but certainly if he wanted to meet. i d like i d enjoy doing it. federal prosecutors in the southern district of new york also filed their own memo to advise a judge on michael cohen s
