The strongest advocate for cooperating with special counsel mueller is now leaving the president s legal team. The administration confirming that ty cobb who represents the white house in the Mueller Probe is stepping down at the end of the month. According to one report, cobb has been clashing with the president over trumps combative prostour towards the investigation. Ty was uncomfortable with the mueller tweets. He was not going to be part of a mudslinging campaign. If you take a look, theyre so conflicted. The people that are doing the investigation you have 13 people that are democrats.

Nbc news headquarters here in new york. Day 468 of the trump administration. We have breaking news that were going to break down on several fronts for you tonight. Well catch you up on all of them. Were going to begin with a stunning admission from Rudy Giuliani about that 130,000 hush money payment to the adult film star Stormy Daniels. This money was paid to ms. Daniels, you recall, by Donald Trumps personal lawyer, Michael Cohen. He used a household line of credit, his own money to pay him. You may recall that on air force one, april 5, just a few weeks back, the president told reporters on air force one he had no knowledge of the payment. Well, appearing with sean hannity tonight, here is what Rudy Giuliani said on fox news just a short time ago. That money was not campaign money. Sorry, im give you a fact now you dont know. Its not campaign money. No Campaign Finance violation. They funneled it through a law firm . Funneled through the law firm and the president repaid it. The pre

Do you view the continued deliberations as a good sign for the defense. Its a great sign for the defense, thank you. Judge ellis says a verdict could be coming soon. [inaudible] i dont know. The judge t. S. Ellis says is he optimistic there will be a verdict in this matter soon. There is no telling how long deliberation also go because the jury asked the judge if he could help them organize the exhibits so they know which piece of evidence is supposed to correspond to of which the 18 charges. And the judge said no. The mueller team did not link up the evidence like that in their Closing Argument and that is even though a source close to the defense team told me its their understanding the mueller team had s
Legal teams providing us this new information today, the president who has criticized the credibility and challenged the credibility of whistleblower one would now arguably have to do that for another official. And perhaps still more than that who are also providing information that relates to the ukraine call that has gotten so much attention. So really what stands out here is that the courage, if you want to put it in those terms of whistleblower one has perhaps opened the door to other officials who have what we are told is more direct knowledge coming forward as well. Again, not a second complaint, but by virtue of dealing with michael atkinson, the second individual and perhaps others have the same Legal Protections as whistleblowers. So, again, this fills out and potentially corroborates the account of the first whistleblower and would make it arguably harder for the white house and the president particular to challenge the credibility of that whistleblower.
