It took place. Did you know at the time about that meet something. No, i didnt know anything about it. It must have been a very important meeting, because i never even heard that. No one told you a word, nothing . I know we talked about this on the plane a bit. No, nobody told me. Sounded like a very unimportant meeting. Deep cuts there from haberman and schmidt. Thats not what Michael Cohen claims, alleging that he and several others were present when thencandidate donald trump gave his nod of approval for the meeting to move forward. That contradicts repeated denials from donald trump jr. And others in Donald Trumps orbit. Did you tell your father anything about this . No. It was such a nothing, there was nothing to tell. I wouldnt have even remembered it until you start scouring through the stuff. The president said he became aware of it very recently, right before this came out, and thats when he was notified.

Consumer spending, you see the fact that we are in a historic moment in terms of our economic growth, i mean, this is the first time in four years that weve seen the gdp break at 4 . It was Larry Summers who said if we get to a 3 growth that it would be fair enough to say if you were to believe in tooth ferries. Jon Allison Barber is reporting from berkley heights, new jersey, near the president s golf club where he is spending this weekend. Allison, how big a deal are these numbers for the white house . Reporter for the white house they seem to be an enormous deal. Any time we speak to anyone from the administration or hear any interviews with President Trump or even from Vice President pence, what they want to talk about is the economy and gdp growth, despite warnings from some economists that the growth is not sustainable longterm. The president is telling americans the growth is here to

Take one. Is it that he doesnt want to take one or doesnt have enough on the president . I think that well, it could be both. Like i said before, ive had plenty of clients who have taken plea deals that swore they werent guilty. Apparently, he hasnt come to the amount of money its taking to defend himself or to the pressure to lie or simply maybe hes just saying he doesnt have anything to do with it and hes that does it for me. Im david gura. Going to toughen up and i would ill be back on Saturday Ask Sunday at 2 00 eastern time. Try and bring in as much in the meantime, you can find me information that it is the, on instagram and on twitter at quote, be unquote, witch hunt, and my client is being offered david gura.

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.
