This sunday, turning against trump. The president s longtime personal attorney, Michael Cohen, is apparently prepared to say the president knew in advance about the Infamous Trump tower meeting with russians. It appears the president s former attorney and confidant is ready to talk. And cohen releases a tape discussing buying the story of a former playmate who says she had an affair with trump. What financing . Well have to pay something. And well pay with cash. No, no, no, no, no. Rudy giuliani attacks cohen. The man is a liar, a proven liar. Not long after praising him. The man is an honest, honorable lawyer. Just how big a threat does cohen pose to President Trump . My guests this morning, former trump political advisor sam nunberg and republican senator rob portman of ohio. Plus guns and poses. Maria butina loves guns, cultivated conservatives and is
now in jail, arrested as a russian agent. Does she hold the key to an nra russia connection . And base politics. Today marks 100 days
indicted. we ve heard about the possibility of rudy giuliani, the fake electors, everybody that actually took part in this alleged conspiracy. so, the docket may be pretty full in georgia. i think that s right. you know, it has always seemed like there are at least two conspiracies in georgia. one is the internal one. willis subpoenaed a lot of the folks who were on that georgia slate of fake electors,and you could see how that could be a separate, smaller conspiracy, and then there s the larger conspiracy involving trump and, of course, his now infamous request that he be that the number of votes that he needed be found for him. it s also possible, though, that those two conspiracies could be cojoined as one larger conspiracy. i think parsing through these legal weeds is helpful for people to understand why the process does take a while. there are complexities that have to be resolved if you re a prosecutor. you have to nail these details down, including who s a witness
through the match. rapidtexting. i want to go to hugo lowell. about city? no, about the mar-a-lago documents case, and i m curious, we have now these legal experts. we have the former attorney general and ty cobb saying, trump could even see jail time here. just reading into the details of this, every time i read into this, i m just shocked at the stupidity of those, honestly, of former president trump, moving documents in and out of his office before and after the subpoena and i guess having people do it for him. can you fill us in on what looks the worst out of this case? yeah. i mean, great week for guardiola, terrible legal week for trump. that will be my soccer contribution of the morning. there you go. at the heart of this case now for the justice department and the special counsel is what was going on with the movement of boxes when trump was subpoenaed for the classified documents
actually there s two serious sides of this. one is we still do not know what is behind the trump/putin relationship. it s inexplicable on foreign policy terms. there s something here, you know, remember churchill s old line about the soviet union a mystery wrapped inside a riddle wrapped inside an enigma. something doesn t add up. the other thing is when you think about putin s strategy on ukraine now, what is it? it s so play for time. things have not gone well to say the least over the last 16, 17 months and what he s hoping is that ukrainian or nato or american resilience and staying power fades. right now if you are vladimir putin what is your card in the hole here? it might be the 2024 elections. that he might just be thinking if i can just hold out through that there is a chance that u.s. policy will fundamentally change
