I mean, yesterday the president as longtime personal lawyer was sentenced to three years in federal prison. Then immediately following his sentencing, prosecutors almost simultaneously unsealed what is basically a Cooperation Agreement with a company that made illegal payments to benefit the president s campaign in an arrangement that was worked out overtly between that company and the president s campaign. The president s own Company Appears to have been used to cover up another Illegal Campaign payment with falsified records and accounts. There are a handful of executives within the president s company who would seem to have had the authority within the company to commit that kind of, what looks like accounting fraud or potentially tax fraud in terms of writing checks, directing disbursements, misleading accounting entries. One of those handful of kbektives who had that authority is granted immunity by prosecutors in can exchange for cooperation with ongoing inquiries. All of the oth
Uncomfortable on tv. Anyway, youre probably aware of that about me and my failures as a tv host. That said, i also think that gives me a little bit of an insight as to why some things take off and others dont. I will tell you ever since that the new yorker piece was published in march of 2017, that unbelievable article in the new yorker, i have truly believed as a prude that part of the reason it didnt take off, part of the reason it didnt become one of the things that Everybody Knows about Donald Trumps Business History and his potentially serious trouble in that Business History, i think one of the reasons that story has stayed kind of obscure instead of becoming part of a, you know, trump legal trouble pan theon that everybody talks about, i think part of the trouble with that one is because this is what that hotel looks like that is the subject of that business storer in the new yorker from two years ago. And honestly i mean its just i think this is part of it. I know were safe to
Reporter my response to the torture memo author about public life after disgrace. And why even fossil fuel companies are balkings as the president subsidizes coal. When all in starts right now. Good evening from new york. Im chris hayes. The president of the United States reportedly offered the new head of one of the governments Security Services a pardon to break the law. According to cnn and the New York Times during a trip to the border last week the president told Kevin Mcaleenan that the commissioner of customs and Border Protection and since elevated to acting secretary of dhs that hed pardon mcaleenan if he got in trouble for following illegal orders from the president. The New York Times said the president was urging mcaleenan to shutdown the southern border altogether. The sources for both stories s said it wasnt clear if the president was joking.

Foreign agent without led registering and lying to federal investigators and others about that. Sam paton pled guilty last year. Prosecutors have since said he started cooperating with prosecutors even before he signed his formal plea agreement, even before he pled guilty. They say hes been very helpful. Judge Amy Berman Jackson in washington, d. C. Today explained she would have considered a prison sentence for sam paton were it not for his considerable cooperation with prosecutors. But given the nature of his crime and his lack of a previous criminal record and prosecutors wholehearted endorsement and appreciation for whatever it is hes been helping with them all these months the judge ultimately gave sam paton today three years probation and a 5,000 fine.
