testimony. cfo of trump world, that guy s got talking to do because he got name dropped a lot. and i imagine we will be hearing more from him in some capacity or another. much more to get through in the first public testimony. the president s former right-hand man, including cohen s allegations the president is lying about some of the questions at the heart of the mueller probe. e questions a the mueller probe. it s absolute confidence in 30,000 precision parts. or it isn t. it s inspected by mercedes-benz factory-trained technicians. or it isn t. it s backed by an unlimited mileage warranty, or it isn t. for those who never settle, it s either mercedes-benz certified pre-owned, or it isn t. the mercedes-benz certified pre-owned sales event. now through february 28th. only at your authorized mercedes-benz dealer.
was helpful to us, the mueller probe, saying that he was credible and the information he gave us was helpful. how does that wash out for him? well, i think it he s clearly getting help for providing information that s relevant and of no interest for them in their investigation. maybe not so much so for the southern district prosecutors looking more broadly at mr. cohen s past activity and people that he may have been involved with that have nothing to do with the on going russia probe. so that explains the difference in the two reviews as it were by the prosecutors and their reports. what would you want to hear most? you know, as an investigation, that illusive element you re trying to uncover is the element of intent. i think mr. cohen has been in a position to have heard conversations and see actions taken and be able to provide that insiders view on what the
restriction on where they can go. today donald trump jr. claiming those same prosecutors are actually reaching past real crimes to fixate on just trying to get trump. is chris christie wrong that the southern district by the i welcome back, i m not saying they re not going to try. listen, their dream in life, as political as it gets, their dream in life is to try to find something to get trump. that old stalinist tactic. show me the man, i ll show you the crime. okay. but michael cohen himself admitted to campaign-related crimes that were supposed to help donald trump. you don t need stalinistic tactics to notice that the related probe involving the national enquirer company now features public allegations of other real crimes like alleged blackmail and extortion. trump has been concerned about all of this to pressure the doj to install a loyalist to take over the case in new york which was reported by the new york times in an effort to sideline the acting prosecutor in c
the justice department has now publicly confirmed that bob mueller s probe will stretch past this week at a minimum, tonight donald trump is already asking his own lawyers to stay on for months or for years, well beyond the expected end of the mueller probe. and why? this is why, to brace for a, quote, legal hell scape from open probes in the southern district of new york, the famous office that was once led by trump lawyer rudy giuliani. now mueller passed the cohen case to the independent prosecutors who trump ally chris christie says pose special peril. the southern district of new york investigation is monumentally more perilous to the president than bob mueller ever was or ever will be. they have two tear guides and no
probe. in just a moment i have a one-on-one with the doj official who literally wrote the rules that govern mueller. that will be worthwhile. but because of the unusual night we have, guy first to nbc s julia ainsley, who is live on this friday evening in front of the justice department. i want to ask you, what does it mean that we heard the doj talk about the timing for the end of the mueller probe, something they don t usually do? reporter: yeah, ari, i think you re smart to put that into context here. just because we re finding out we re not getting news doesn t mean that there is not a little bit of news here. we know that this justice department has been silent when it comes to anything that it s getting about robert mueller. and this is of course robert mueller has to report. he has to report to the attorney general, not congress on his findings. that s why it s so important what they do here because they will determine what the public and congress ultimately see. so today we h
