Now from his sixth state of the Union Address. So just like his predecessors, mr. Obama will make the annual trek down pennsylvania avenue and take center stage on capitol hill to all that applause before congress, his cabinet and millions of americans, the president will lay out his agenda for next year but tonight will be different than the years before as he faces a Republicanled Congress for the first timem hi, eed, so what are we going to hear from the president tonight . Reporter hes got about an hour, but your producers keep me under a minute. But the bottom line here the president s feeling a head of steam here even though he lost the november elections, they think the economy gives him room to room tonight, so were going to hear about things that he about and things that he doesnt want to talk about. On the Positive Side for him he wants to talk got taxes on the rich. He thinks that fires up his left flank. Hes also going to talk about tax cuts for the middle class. He says lo
Its an incredibly worrying development. The attack came hours after pyongyang claimed publicly a builtin nuclear bomb for use on a longrange missile appeared north Korean Leader kim jong un with this new type of Hydrogen Bomb. The test is carried out in the early hours of the morning at a test site in the country built deep inside the mountain. The secret of the communist state has said the six nuclear test was a perfect success. The explosion went to six by three and the Richter Scale, 10 times more powerful than the last test. So large that it caused a second earthquake on the ground. U. S. Planes have been set up with signs of radiation. Not last year that the nuclear test and has defined u. N. Sanctions to develop Nuclear Weapons which could potentially reach the u. S. Mainland. This comes four days after President Trump said talking is no longer an option with north korea in a month or so after any signs of provocation would be meant with fire and fury. Everyone is waiting to see
So why does this all matter so much . Well, because just three weeks ago, the president said he knew nothing about the payment. Did you know about the 130,000 payment to Stormy Daniels . Then why did Michael Cohen make it if there was no truth to the allegation . You have to ask Michael Cohen. Michael is my attorney. And youll have to ask michael. Do you know where he got the money . For that payment . No, i dont know. And the contradictions dont end there. Just this morning, the white house says now it cannot talk about basically any of it because it deals with ongoing litigation. Mayor giuliani is part of the president s legal team, hes got visibility and insight into this issue, he has spoken about this at length both last night and this morning. I would refer you back to his comments, particularly given the fact this is ongoing litigation. It is something we at the white house cant comment on and i would refer you both to his comments as well as the president s tweets from earlier
Out to be perfectly legal. That money was not campaign money. Sorry. Im giving you a fact now that you dont know. Its not campaign money. No Campaign Finance violation. So they funneled it to a law firm. Funneled to a law firm and then the president repaid it. Did you know about the 130,000 payment to Stormy Daniels . No. No. He didnt know the details of this until we knew the details of it which was a couple weeks ago. Maybe not even a couple. Maybe 10 days ago. I remember when Michael Cohen was interviewed about it. It seemed that he was saying he was never reimbursed the 130,000. Now it seems the story is changing. I think he was trying to help the family. For that, if man is being treated like some kind of villian. I think he was just being a good lawyer. I think when cohen heard 130,000, he said, my god, this is cheap. Let me get it signed up and off. I think our case just got better in the last 24 hours. We knew we were going to be able to prove this, but we didnt know Rudy Giuli

At another potential bombshell about the hush payment to a former adult film performer. Ed henry following the late breaking developments tonight. Good evening. At every level, from personnel to messaging, President Trump is signaling he wants his legal team to move quickly. The message being sent clearly by the lead trump attorney come as you mentioned, Rudy Giuliani who tonight is taking a very aggressive stance with special Counsel Robert Mueller trying to set the terms of a possible interview with the president by saying it will have to be shrunk down because the president is too busy dealing with north korea, iran, these other issues. Other important issues. Mueller may reject that approach and try to subpoena at the president for an interview which is the big reason why the white
