Time. You fight until we can continue to achieve what is right and just for everyone of all backgrounds, all religions and all genders, and ways of life. Thats what the great people like Nelson Mandela stood for. We cant just choose to be good. We must aspire to try and be great. That does it for me. Thanks for watching. Ill see you back here tomorrow at 5 00 p. M. Eastern. Up next, the beat with my friend ari melber. Bob mueller revealing Michael Cohens crimes, as well as new details on his ties to russia with federal prosecutors in new york dropping the hammer and calling for substantial prison time. Lets get right to it, two major Court Filings out tonight, one from bob mueller who says that Michael Cohen has been helpful in his russia investigation and, from these prosecutors up in new
york who say cohen still deserves years in jail for a criminal mindset that allowed him to basically commit a host of crimes. All of this is a week before a judge will sentence cohen for all the abov
this would be conspiracy to defraud the united states. that would be the big one. it could be fraud, money laundering. we don t really know where it s going to go until that information is public. so only time will tell. thank you very much for helping us understand that. thank you so much for being here. okay, just ahead, manu more of breaking news. russian generals are accusing a milt group of attempting a coup. and there are reports of armed vehicles in the streets of moscow tonight.
Expectation that maybe some of this was a game or just power politics. but this has certainly gone to the next level. so this is actually really good for ukraine in the long run. frankly, for the world. because regardless of what ends up happening with this, the wagner group is probably going to be out of action around the world. i guess i m heartened to hear that. chaos in russia doesn t always sound great for the world. so chaos in russia where the military, whatever move is happening is precarious, you re confident that would work out well for ukraine and the rest of the world? i m not confident of anything because it s obviously a very tenuous situation. there s always going to be a lot of fear whenever you hear about instability in russia. russia has nuclear weapons. this happens about every few years. we hear about this. but for ukraine itself, for the war in ukraine, this can t be anything but good. if you think about it, wagner is actually really a terrorist organization, q

Pentagon. to help us understand, we ve heard some reports there are russian tanks or armored vehicles in the streets of moscow? does the pentagon know what s happening? reporter: we certainly see these videos that are being put out by righters and others. it s clear this is happening. the question is, what exactly does it mean? how far does this go? that s where the pentagon has not indicated to us exactly what they believe is the sort of process of events that they expect to play out. that s because it s so difficult to know right now. we have spoken with u.s. officials who tell us they re watching this very closely. as matthew chance pointed out, for months the u.s. has watched yevgeny prigozhin as he s tried to build his power base and essentially expand his influence, not only with russian president vladimir putin, but with the kremlin. this is obviously a dramatic change of events here. the u.s. watching this very closely, even if there isn t a precise picture of exactly what s
