The president might get upset with us as United States senators if we vote on the corker amendment. Oh were going to do everything we can to block it. Has it gotten this bad that the Republican Party is no longer driven by desire to protect the country from a foreign foe but to protect its own members from getting beaten by its own leader . Good evening, im Chris Matthews in washington. The transition of the Republican Party is now complete. Once the party that championed golde cold warriors like reagan is now the party that blindly follows its own bear, donald trump. Throughout his presidency, trump rebuffed republican orthodoxy and cozied up to the same
Own personal legal team and that could be really bad news for the president. Mike willing con who was raided two months ago by federal investigators in manhattan is about to part ways with his own attorneys according to multiple reports and expected to hire new counsel to represent him the ongoing probe. This comes ahead of a june 15th deadline this friday two days from now to review all the materials seized in those raids, 3. 7 million files including shredded documents the fbi agents had to piece back together. The legal scrutiny on cohen unnerved his former boss who lashed out over e raid memorably during an unrelated National Security meeting. So i just heard that they broke into the office of one of my personal attorneys, good man, and its a real disgrace. Its an attack on our country in a true sense. Its an attack on what we all stand for. That is really now in a whole new level of unfairness. There are conflicting reports now why cohen is splitting with his legal team and what i

Than, rachel. Well, michael con is just not h. Thats one of his problems. President trumps personal Attorney Michael Cohen said he had to take out a Home Equity Loan to pay Stormy Daniels ,000 tnever tell her story about having sex with donald trump, a story she then told. If Michael Cohen had to take out a Home Equity Loan to pay 130,000 to Stormy Daniels, he cannot afford the team of 15 lawyers who have been representing him in federal court in manhattan who cost well over 130,000 a week. Some of his lawyers bill significantly more than 1,000 an hour. And they are not lawyers whose law firms are comfortable with promises to pay.
