Manager, respectively. We are waiting to hear from the lawyers. But we can tell you at this point, the president is off to West Virginia to continue doing what he does. As president of the United States, a town in economic recovery. We will leave it up to that. The five is not. Welcome to the five. We are covering three breaking new stories this out. Guilty of 8 of 18 counts in his child. Have Major Developers with Michael Cohen. President trumps lawyer reaching a plea deal. In a News Conference in iowa after missing College Student Mollie Tibbetts has been found. We will bring you there live as soon as heavens. We will head to chief National Correspondent ed henry for latest on the cohen plea deal. First, live in alexandria, virginia, for the verdict of Paul Manafort. Just in the last 45 or 60
seconds, we watch as kathleen mena fort, all metal parts wife exits surrounded by cameras and reporters asking how she thinks and how she feels. She did not respond. Now we wait for manaforts De
outcome of the election. so, the special counsel investigations have a habit, as you know from your time here at the white house, dana, and going directions that they were never intended to at the beginning and finding something where believed there was nothing there before they had nothing to do with the original mandate. it looks like we could be moving in that direction. dana: article: says that he did this on the behest of a federal candidate. president trump s lawyer says it wasn t us, where is the remedy? maybe that remains. to me, that is unclear what happens in that instance. here s the thing that we don t know. partially because we don t have the full court documents it appeared that cohen only tell prosecutors that he did it at the direction and in court nation with a federal candidate? or to detail the the prosecutors who that person was, , and fedel
october 27th to stormy daniels. but giuliani told me that none of this was connected the president. cohen said in court documents that he signed that he did this at the direction of and in coordination with a candidate for federal office. now unless there is a candidate for federal office that we have not heard about that cohen had been working out, that was it just that president trump might be that federal candidate. let s not forget that cohen has a recording of himself talking to president trump about a possible payment to karen mcdougall, a payment that the president s attorney said was never made. it wasn t made by president trump. there was money that was exchanged between the national enquirer and karen mcdougall. putting together the pieces of this as ed henry was saying, this guilty plea by michael cohen could be problematic for the president. it is not about the russia investigation. but cohen says these payments were made to influence the
manslaughter, maybe? he was not convicted of murder. so what we are looking at, though, i think, as the politics of it. the politics of it played in a way that i think you will see tonight, the president focusing on immigration. lauren stated his team going into the midterms as what he wants to focus on as his base. i imagine that this will play. greg: if the incident occurs that actually is part of something that you have been talking about, and talks about playing into your base or saying hey, hey, hey, i m right, this is a concern. people confuse concern with politics. you could actually be concerned about preventing such things like this happening. it is not a political stance. it saying that this is a proble problem. speaking of the other thing about the murder, i don t know if i can call him that. greg: like a deflected bullet.
believe me. it was something very much different. it has nothing to do with russian collusion. we continue the witch hunts. thank, very much. dana: is the president stepping off of air force one about to go to rally tonight. getting a statement about manafort out of the way. we are hoping to get john roberts back up pretty soon and ed henry, if he is availabl available. maybe not. but michael cohen, not getting a mention there. what d you make of the president s comments just now? they were brief but they stayed on the message that this is a witch hunt and he feels very badly for paul manafort who is just found guilty by a jury of his peers on eight counts. it is significant because the manafort case is a better situation for the president, as bad as it is for paul manafort in that he is facing major prison time. as a president pointed out, he
