Scandal. He has Michael Cohen but he has additional lawyers working with him on the scandals where these women have been supposedly paid off. Thats where he lawyered up. Maybe the president saw this before we did in terms of the legal jeopardy hes in here. And moving todays case to the south everyone district of new york is fascinating because as you know they do not have a confirmed u. S. Attorney working there. The u. S. Attorney whos in place there, temporarily, his appointment is a 120day appointment that runs out on may 5th. So the president doesnt have a prosecutor there to fire and replace because the next the people who replace this one are the judges who run the district. They get to decide, because the president hasnt chosen anyone. The Mueller Investigation has taken some interesting turns. One of them was to spread a little bit of the work around. We had the filing from mueller last week that said when we charged manafort we had the National Security division of the Justice
Affair with the president. Its a new twist in the Stormy Daniels case thats even more dramatic because the special counsel in the russia investigation, Robert Mueller, played a role in making this raid happen. Lets go to our justice correspondent evan perez and our Law Enforcement analyst josh campbell, a former fbi special agent. Evan, what are you learning about this extraordinary raid . Extraordinary raid is exactly the point here, wolf. Michael cohens office, we know, has been raided by the fbi. It was carried out under the authority of the u. S. Attorney in manhattan and according to Michael Cohens attorney he says this was done as a referral. In other words the referral from the special Counsel Robert Mueller who apparently has uncovered Additional Information that merited Additional Investigation by the u. S. Attorney in manhattan and this is now, of course, meaning there are two investigations that affect Michael Cohen and potentially the president of the United States. Michael
Immunity that means youve probably committed a crime. Probably committed a crime. I mean my god. Today the president s personal lawyer has stopped talking about his involvement in a hush money deal involving porn star Stormy Daniels and donald trump. The president actually, yeah, when he was campaigning, right there, he was saying, the mob takes the fifth, right . He takes the fifth when he needs to take the fifth. Can i ask you something . Have you guys noticed, do you feel it . Willie and i have it . Very few people have it . Whats wrong . The president has it. What . Kanye has it. What are you talking about . Dragon energy. No, stop, gross. Were going to be joined live is that like tiger blood from the Charlie Sheen days. Well be joined live by Stormy Daniels attorney. Stop, im going to blame you. 50 of the time it works. Stormy daniels attorney, Michael Avenatti will be joining us at 8 00 a. M. For his reaction to cohens legal strategy and Mandy Patinkin will be here. So welcome to
Occurred months after the hurricane but would not have occurred were it not for the hurricane. Right. That is the way that death tolls from these sorts of things are supposed to be counted. Youre supposed to factor in things like loss of medical care, disruption of utilities and things caused directly by the storm as causing deaths related to the storm. So those things being counted months later, thats how its supposed to go. By any estimate, this is the deadliest storm in american history. And the president has given himself an a plus grade for the way the government responded to it. Yeah he gives himself an a plus on everything. Hes an easy grader for himself. Thank you, lawrence. Thank you, rachel. Two and a half weeks, june 15th. That is the new deadline for Donald Trumps lawyers and Michael Cohens lawyers to review all of the evidence obtained by the fbi in raids on Michael Cohens home, office, and hotel room. By june 15th, donald trump and Michael Cohen must file all of their req
That you talked about a moment ago on your show. Were going to get into it a little more. Rachel, thank you, have a wonderful weekend. Tonight, donald trump is once again forcing us to ask what is behind the president s public affection for russia . Its a question weve been asking since at least the summer of 2016 when donald trump and i had this exchange right after he asked russia to hack the emails of the democratic president ial candidate. You said the russians he has no respect. You said i welcome them to find those 30,000 emails. They probably have them. Id like to have them released. Does that not give you pause . No. You know what gives me more pause, that a person in our government, crooked Hillary Clinton be quiet, i know you want to save her. If russia or china or any other country has those emails, to be honest with you id love to see them. Donald trumps strange affection for russia has now opened a new rift between america and its closest allies. Before setting off for the
