Extremely loyal people. Tonight i will ask Michael Cohens lawyer what else hes got. There is no dispute that donald trump committed a crime. Plus, what does congress do with a potentially compromised president . We should be pushing to postpone the Kavanaugh Hearing. And the other trump world indictment. And duncan, thank you very much right from the beginning. Congresswoman Duncan Hunter misusing Campaign Funds. Good evening from new york. I am chris hayes. Donald trump has gotten caught. It is the president himself that now has been implicated in a criminal conspiracy to help him win the presidency. A conspiracy that doesnt have
to do with russia. And now the president s private business empire, his Family Foundation are in the legal cross hairs and we have no idea what is yet to come or how far it will go. Appearing in Federal Court yesterday to plead guilty to eight felony counts, Michael Cohen fated under oath that he broke Campaign Finance laws in 2016 before the election to cove
Serious allegation she took time and she is putting all of your doubts out in public. She is not trying to say oh, im certain when she is not certain. She is saying im not clearly certain. I was drinking. So i think that is pretty straightforward. Ronin farrow says he considers what he did high level of evidence. Im quoting. And says that direct account from people she told right afterward this happened with kavanaugh. That is what farrow says. He says he applied that in other stories of similar instances of Sexual Misconduct and says it has proven to be ironclad and a good way to do it and he considers this is a High Standard of journalism. Jesse i didnt know that is the way he went about it. Thought he found someone who heard Something Like that had happened. Not that this woman had told a friend about it afterwards. Lisa the piece says they have not confirmed with other
now . Greg Dianne Feinstein could run an airline with that kind of timing. I was perfectly timed. You have a longt
Thats different than his, perhaps, more gran yu thats different than his, perhaps, more gran ylar daily gripes on twitter where hes talking about former fbi employees, lisa page and peter strzok or bruce ohr, someone whos currently at the Justice Department who hes threatened w withdraw his security clearance. Those are individual cases. The Justice Department doesnt comment on those. Today it was digit becaufferent it was about the Attorney Generals control over the Justice Department and felt like it was time to push back and this, oching of courf course, i. He rarely does this. He always, as every single event, sessions goes out of his way to praise the president. To talk about furtherering his agenda. But the one time that he did push back was back in february where, again, the president questioned his integrity. He said what the Attorney General had been doing at the Justice Department surrounding carter page, and surveillance and fisa, those issues that have become also familiar
Chris Hayes discusses the days top news. Collude and corrupt the american democracy system in the 2016 election which the trump tower meeting was all about. But also, knowledge about the Computer Crime of hacking and whether or not mr. Trump knew ahead of time. Lanny davis will be joining me in just a moment. So stick around. The president s involvement of a federal crime. Despite having been caught, his role. Despite the audio tape we have all heard, the president and cohen planning the mcdougal payment. The president says he didnt know about the hush money until after the facts. Did you know about the payments . Later on, i knew. Later on i knew. But you have to understand ainsley, what he did, and they
lawyer and assistance to tell a story. That is useful, but the legal question here is Michael Flynn pleaded guilty and cooperated and we never heard about it sort of on the outside. Just strange to me, our conversations already happening to mueller. Has Michael Cohen already talked to
Power of the office to obtain an improper personal benefit while ignoring and injuring the national interest. Or acts in ways that are grossly inconsistent with and undermine the separation of powers that is the foundation of our democratic system. Now, these this question of whether president engaged in abuse of power came up before when this congress considered the impeachment of president nixon. And after action was taken, president nixon famously said if the president does it, it is not illegal. And this body rejected that because thats not so. That goes directly contrary to what the founders said. But President Trump has said the same thing in responding to the prior investigation by Department Of Justice and defending his conduct. Here is what he said then i have an article, too, where i have to write to do whatever i want as president. That he has the right to do
