including him. good luck with that. i got to ask you about felix sater testimony. it has been postponed until the end of the month. this is the associate who worked with michael cohen on the trump tower and moscow project. where does he fit into your committee s investigation, can you talk about that? we are interested in the russia, the trump moscow deal and mr. sater has played a major role in terms of his discussion negotiations if you will and communications with michael cohen. we are particularly interested in talking to him about the extent of the president s involvement or those around the president to make that deal happen that may certainly provided some ground or motivation that centered around
and that should give the white house a lot of angata. and he weighs all of these allegations about potential tax fraud and insurance fraud. he s got financial statements, he s got bills, he s got checks. and he also has, chris, some information that goes to the what pardon discussion he had back when he was still telling a lie on president s behalf about the timing of the trump moscow deal. emily fox has covered this story extensively. here s her take this morning on msnbc, about that image of all of these documents being delivered to capitol hill. one of them was stunning images of the past week which has been a fairly stunning week when it comes to michael cohen, with cohen entering capitol hill with three suitcases and a big file forward. i think that, to me, was a moment that must have struck fear in president trump, and his
this is key, since he became president. also bringing the goods on trump s finances, bringing an actual financial statement. he is prepared to give granular details on his involvement, the scheme to keep stormy daniels and another woman quiet during the campaign, and cohen saying he will detail why he lied to congress in the first place about, yes, the trump moscow deal. donald trump s defenders are saying look, you can t believe any of this, michael cohen has not only lied before but admitted to lying. so there s debate about the fact he lies at least some of the time. trump defenders note that of the two men as of this hour, only one of them has been convicted of a crime. but that s one piece of this. the other piece is broader and it is not just about the law. we re headed in tomorrow, seeing the contrast and the climax of a fight between michael cohen s world and donald trump s world,
spokesman for trump and he was a weird public presence for years prior. this is the same guy who told his wife he was going to divorce her in a press conference, the same guy that gave one of the most over the top convention speeches during the republican convention in 2016. and whether he s serving as trump s lawyer or a spokesman, he has to be deeply familiar with the fact pattern, the chronology, what trump does and doesn t know. he s the one who said michael cohen s tapes would exonerate the president. he was incredibly wrong. he s a guy who s flip-flopped back and forth whether or not there was collusion. you have him talking about the trump moscow deal. when donald trump junior goes on tv saying this was lightweight antics essentially and michael cohen wasn t our deal guy, michael cohen was engaged with felix sater on negotiations with this. felix sater had an office in trump tower two floors beneath the president. he routinely debriefed ivanka and donald on all the deals that
the time. no! the point is, why would they stand up for him, somebody who lies constantly and they can t trust that. why would they indeed? when we come back, why is donald trump canceling flights for the good folks on a good day instead of reopening the government he shut down. a source told me shutting down the government was the plan, not the consequence of not getting a border wall. that story is next. that story is next wrinkles. wrinkles. and i don t add up the years. but what i do count on, is staying happy and healthy. so, i add protein, vitamins and minerals to my diet with boost®. boost® high protein nutritional drink has 20 grams of protein, along with 26 essential vitamins and minerals your body needs. all with guaranteed great taste. the upside- i m just getting started. boost® high protein be up for life. little things can be a big deal. that s why there s otezla.
