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. It is essentially the president s word versus Michael Cohens. But the white house does not seem to

The president arrived at the white house just a few minutes ago. Its unclear right now if hell continue his tirade once he settled in for the night. Its also unclear what exactly has set him off. But it could be a number of things, as weve told you. His former attorney and loyal friend Michael Cohen appears to be ready to flip on him.

The latest news from around the world with hosts John Berman and Poppy Harlow. 18 times this month, 64 times in the last three months. I lay those numbers out because this is at the same time that the American Public sort of approval of the Mueller Probe is declining. It was 48 approval in on how mueller is handling it in march. Now its 41 , the lowest it has been. Is the president s strategy working . Well, if his strategy is to undermine confidence in the Justice Department and the institution of the legal process, then, yes, its working in some ways because he keeps calling this a witch hunt. He has the biggest bully pulpit on the planet. He is misinforming the public by saying mueller is employing 13 angry democrats. We dont necessarily know that any of these people are actually angry. The president is using his pulpit to punch down at the investigation. We are seeing the public react

Let me play a tape here from senator Lindsey Graham, senior senator from south carolina, responding to all of this. When it comes to Michael Cohen, you should be very suspicious of anything he says. Hes on the hot seat. Mr. Cohen, if youve got something new to say, you need to come to congress and say it under oath. Everyone is a lawyer. I should say, Lindsey Graham is actually a lawyer. So he has some justification there weighing in, i guess, on what happens on the hot seat. Sara, give me your perspective on this. We have seen teases here from Michael Cohen, lanny davis releasing that tape, memobly on tuesday night. We listened to it in realtime as it was played out on cable news. Weve heard it subsequently.
