surprising that pence wants the investigation to come to an end because it s consuming his boss for the last few months but i do think this is certainly something we see getting closer and closer to that one-year anniversary of the appointment of the special counsel which i believe in eight days or so. this is the messaging we are going to be coming see coming out of the white house and starting to see it with mike pence and rarely comments on the mueller investigation if at all and starting to make the argument with north korea going on, the iran deal, all of that on the foreign policy front, that the president doesn t have the time to sit down for an interview with mueller. you can look for more and more of that in the coming days, wolf. chris, here s what the conservative columnist george will had to say about mike pence in a column for the washington post. a couple of sentences from the come lum. trump is what he is. a floundering, inar it can late jumble of insecurities and
access we do not yet know and don t have a full picture of the scale of cohen s revenues so the question now is what if anything did president trump know? when did he know it? and most importantly, did he personally benefit from any of the arrangements that michael cohen set up? susan hennessey, if michael cohen s taking hundreds of thousands of dollars from a foreign company like korean aero space, isn t he supposed to register with the department of justice? so possibly. so the foreign agents registration act sort of viewed as dormant and something that the department of justice didn t often enforce. paul manafort is prosecuted for violations of that. that has a lot of people in washington, d.c. who have sort of been lapsed in the registration a little bit careless feeling very, very nervous it looks like the department of justice taking them incredibly seriously. as they should. susan, originally appeared that president trump s troubles with
understood he had gone in on a bargain which is i am going to be the biggest defender of donald trump. there will never be real or perceived space of myself and donald trump and only path to the thing i want most and sit in donald trump s chair in the oval office eventually is being the heir to donald trump. i think pence is fine of taking the slings and arrows because he made that deal, that bargain, a while back. you know, sabrina, when the vice president talked about president trump he often uses a certain phrase. see if you can spot it. listen. and i d like to say president trump s got broad shoilders and a big heart. to be around donald trump is to be around a man with broad shoulders. i have faith in this president s broad shoulders and big heart. this president has the broad shoulders to take it. what the american people saw is the president i serve with every day. broad shoulders, big heart. boundless energy and out michl,
broad shoulders and a big heart. what do you think? well, he certainly thinks that the president has a big heart. look, i think a lot of these never trump conservatives like george will see vice president mike pence as being one of trump s biggest defenders. of course, you expect that from the number two but in turn it appears he is engaging in the tribalism, this sense of party over country. you have someone like mike pence when s a principled conservative. long complained of the deficit and yet supported a tax bill that ballooned the deficit. held up family values. willing to look the other way coming to the president s indiscretions and payments to women. not alone in receiving the criticism and house speaker paul ryan asked to reconcile. as the vice president mike pence will own the trump legacy, especially if he hirms were to choose to run for president in the future. indeed. stick around. there s more news we re
a short time ago as he boarded air force one for a rally in indiana, president trump predicted his upcoming summit with kim jong-un as going to be a big success. less than a year ago, the president was threatening the north korean leader with fire and fury, cnn s brian todd is joining us. brian, this is a fascinating transformation. it is, wolf. no doubt the president has scored a victory with the release of the detainees but his change in rhetoric toward kim in recent months has been drastic and tonight veteran diplomats and former officials are warning of the dangers of being too flattering of kim jong-un. i think you probably broke the all time in history television ratings for 3:00 in the morning. reporter: a victory lap on the tarmac, standing next to three american detainees just released from north korea, the president gushes over the dictator who imprisoned them. we want to thank kim jong-un who really was excellent to
