learning themselves that they themselves had been misled. the question, of course, is the president, yes, is 2.5 years out from election. what does it mean, adam, for republicans who are up in november? yeah. i don t know. i mean, this is it s hard to tell what impact this will have on the way the electorate is going to vote. obviously we ve seen examples of recent gains by democrats. certainly the democrats are increasingly confident that they ll succeed in retaking the house and maybe retaking the senate. it s too soon to say. as you know, things change incredibly fast here. they do. thank you both. thank you. president trump is keeping the suspense going, it seems, as to where he will be meeting kim jong-un and when. the possible release of the american detainees in north korea also in question. listen to this
jeremy diamond, appreciate the reporting. thank you. joining mean, contributor adam entis, and legal analyst joey jackson. gentlemen, good morning. good morning. joey, let me start with and put aside for a moment potentially lying to the american people there on air force one and claiming he didn t know where the money came from for michael cohen. is there any legal exposure here for the president potential when he we learn about the money that michael cohen took out? does it matter when he took that money out? you know, a lot of things matter, victor. let s start from the very beginning. what you find fascinating is you have rudy giuliani comments where he contradicts the president in terms of now the president does know. and he also contradicts michael cohen because michael cohen is reimbursed. he makes a connection to the campaign saying what if it would have come out days before the campaign, how damning would that
he s the lawyer s putting out a statement to clarify what the lawyer said. now to be clear, what a lawyer says is not evidence. it s what the client says is evidence. but we already know the client denied it, but then the client didn t deny it, so which is it? and briefly, this is troubling to me in the broader sense. what are we facing now? we re facing a president who could potentially testify in an investigation of mueller, will he tell the truth or not? we re facing a president who kobe deposed in stormy daniels. will he tell the truth or not? it s one thing to lie to the american people. it s another when you re deposed in front of a grand jury. this is significant in terms of the whole credibility that you were talking about at the outset of our discussion. let s talk about that, too, adam. as we talked about, the president will at some point in his administration have to go to a reserve of goodwill and trust that he s made with the american people, every president does. this
