Coverage of national and international news, including breaking stories. If this is a he said she said situation like hallie just put it who has more credibility . President trump or Michael Cohen . Well it depends on who you support, but look, i think in terms of credibility for the purposes of the investigation, bob mueller isnt going to look at that. Hes going to look at what the facts are. And whats interesting here about this is that there is no recording of this particular incident like there was with other incidents. Now, Michael Cohens attorney, a former clintonite has really pushed out that Michael Cohen is now fully cooperating with with the investigation and with investigators. Whats interesting is that yesterday at the white house, and all week at the white house has hallie just alluded to, the president has not issued any type of direct comment on these latest allegations. Thats unique. And until he does about whether or not he did in fact, have knowledge of that june 2016
Wolf Blitzer looks at politics, breaking news and international stories. Investigation. Let me read between sure. I want to read the tweet. The words the president used in the statement on twitter that he released earlier this morning. This is a terrible situation. And Attorney General Jeff Sessions should stop this rigged witch hunt right now before it continues to stain our country any further. Bob mueller is totally conflicted and his 17 angry democrats that are doing his dirty work are a disgrace to usa. I just want to be specific what the president has said because, dana, this is the most bombastic statement hes made yet on this entire russia probe. And it comes as mueller is now engaged in the first trial thats actually started yesterday. No question. And, look, when and this goes to the heart of part of the Mueller Investigation. When a boss, or when the president , says makes a suggestion to a subordinate, is it really a suggestion . Like David Chalian was saying earlier, when
A recap of the days news. Would do. Right . Instead this white house put on a display today in the briefing room. A display intended to send a message to the American People. That message is to convince you that this administration actually takes russias attacks on our democracy seriously. So they trot it out one top official after another. Every one of them pointing the finger at russia, which is all well and good, but obviously there is one person missing. Want to guess who it is . President donald j. Trump who no matter what the members of his own administration say just cant seem to bring himself to blame russia for anything without walking it back in the same breath. Lets compare the director of national intelligence, what he said today to what President Trump said after that disastrous helsinki summit. Here it is. The Intelligence Community continues to be concerned about the threats of upcoming u. S. Elections. Both the midterms and the president ial elections of 2020. Dont. Wha
Quick answer of being prolife. Thank you for watching. Cnn tonight with don lemon starts right now. There he is again. Great words right there. I think thats what i said before the break, right . You said it plays right into that. I have to tell you i was atten event this weekend with a friend who happens to be white. She turned to me and said do you ever does it do you notice or are you aware, does it make you uncomfortable that youre, like, one maybe the only person of color in the room . And i just people have asked me that before, and i said im not uncomfortable about it. I am aware of it, but it happens all the time. And she said well, i wasnt aware of it until i was invited to a Birthday Party where everyone was a person of color. Everyone was black and i was the only white person, and i said is this what its like. She said is this what its like for my friends of color all the time who even in most places yu go, restaurants, everywhere you

Wolf Blitzer looks at politics, Breaking News and international stories. That he had been he had testified Behind Closed Doors with the House Intelligence Committee and apparently forgot about that meeting. I think it strains credulity to believe he forgot about that meeting. So what might bob muellers investigators be doing now . Because miss davis is close to him personally and professionally, theres been some reporting that, for example, she would keep his schedule. Of course, the investigators are going to want to deal with her to see what kind of meetings roger stone was taking. Even more importantly, to see if before his testimony to the House Intelligence Committee he had been speaking with her about the meetings he had taken. When you uncover evidence like that, it significantly undercuts a claim that i just forgot about meeting with that particular russian. So there are all sorts of reasons for muellers Investigative Team to want to
