Trump about a payment to playboy model Karen Mcdougal before the 2016 election. Could be a recording of a recording, were not sure yet. That they can probably determine. Youre right. We may never be able to determine that but we have determined the fact that he campered with the tape in the sense that he abruptly midconversation turned it off. Giuliani told abc news we have complained to them that Michael Cohen has violated the Attorney Client privilege publicly and privately. In a statement to nbc news, lanny davis, cohens attorney, fired back saying mr. Giuliani seems to have been confused. He expressly waived Attorney Client privilege last week and repeatedly and inaccurately as proven by the tape talked about and talked about the recording, forfeiting all confidentiality.

Anderson Cooper takes viewers beyond the headlines with indepth reporting and investigations. Thats what Rudy Giuliani said today. He wasnt arguing about that statement from Michael Cohen, who is alleging that President Trump did know about that meeting before it occurred. Rudy giuliani only said that he could state for the record that President Trump did not attend that meeting with those russian officials, which is not something that was in question in the first place. It was whether or not President Trump knew about it, which is something that his aides and President Trump himself have denied for months now, including that President Trump said he just found out about it in july of 2017, a year after it happened. And donald trump jr. Testified in front of lawmakers that his father did not know about it before. So it would be increasingly problematic. That is the question now, anderson.

Analysis and discussion of the days top stories and compelling issues from Lawrence ODonnell. General under president clinton and former federal prosecutor. Julia, i will have you play a few roles for me tonight because you do also cover the Justice Department. Jeff sessions in the room with the president when he is told that Robert Mueller is going to be Special Counsel, according to bloomberg news. Jeff sessions offered his Rec Resignation in that moment. I think the idea that Robert Mueller had been appointed was pretty obvious right there. He saw the writing on the wall, that it was because he had recused himself from this investigation that this had been allowed to happen, that Rod Rosenstein was allowed to appoint this Special Counsel. The way we all see it and the logical way to see it is the appointment of Robert Mueller was because of the firing of jim comey.
