Our team has learned the courteous, extremely professional, and respectful president s consideration of while raiding his home, office, and hotel room. Firing Rod Rosenstein has gained that contradicts the president s urgency after the firing of the description of the raid. The president called it a president s lawyer, michael breakin. Cone says hes upset about being cohen. This is one of several options targeted cohen says hes upset about being targeted but including going so far as to thanked the agents when he was fire attorney general Jeff Sessions, as well, that trump done. Has been weighing. When asked if he was worried, Officials Say if trump acts, rosenstein is his most likely cohen told cnn, id be worried target because installing a new if i told you that i was not. Do i need this in my life . Deputy attorney general could provide the check on mueller no. Do i want to be involved in this . That trump has been seeking.

Telling him that they now believe they have a stronger an fbi agent immediately stuck case against rosenstein. His foot in the door so that they believe he has crossed the cohen couldnt close it and took line in what he can and cannot cohens cell phone right out of pursue, and they consider him his hand. Sources say among the items that conflicted since he is a potential witness in the special agents were looking for in the raids on cohens hotel room, his counsels investigation because he wrote the memo that justified home, and his office were firing former fbi director james records of payments to women who allegedly had affairs with mr. Comey. So even though trump has trump. They are Stormy Daniels and considered firing rosenstein in the past, the possibility has karen mcdougal. The search warrants are set to taken on a more serious tone in cover cohens business recent days according to sources investments and material related to election laws. Weve spoken with. Lets bring in politics all right. Thank you. Following raid on michael digital director zach wolf live in washington. Cohen, the president s liam team good morning. Is reevaluating whether mr. And you know, a white house official on this idea of a trump should agree to an interview with the special counsel. One white house official telling trump mueller interview saying cnn that the president s theres no decision yet regarding the interview, but cooperation should be proportional to the courtesy he anyone with common sense will see the attack on his lawyer as receives from Robert Mueller. And the administration believes a cause to reevaluate. The cohen raid showed a lack of the president taking this very personally. Yeah, and you know, we had heard before that he was courtesy. Cnn has learned that muellers vascillating back and forth, investigators were meeting with that in his gut he did want to the president s lawyers on the same day the fbi raided cohen. Cohen tells cnn that the fbi talk to muellers team, but his was courteous. He called them extremely professional and respectful while they were raiding his lawyers were telling him not to. Home, his office, and his hotel i cant imagine the aggression room. That directly contradicts the that he feels at this raid on president s description of the Michael Cohens office is going raid which he called a breakin. To make him feel better about cohen says he is upset about being targeted but actually doing an interview. Its also something that you thanked the agents when they would think is eventually going were done. When asked if he was worried, to have to happen in some ways cohen told cnn, id be lying to to get any kind of closure from you if i told you that im not. Do i need this in my life . This. Zach, we have to note no. Do i want to be involved in this . Weve been talking about this no. A source familiar with the that this is not directly tied raid on that New York Hotel room to the russia probe. Where cone and his wife were the assumption is that Robert Mueller ran into some evidence cohen and his wife were saying and handed it off to the u. S. Attorney here in the southern said cohen answered the door district of new york. Himself. An fbi agent stuck his foot in so can you explain that . The door so cohen could not obviously the president is taking this as a personal close it and took his cell phone affront. The administration believes that right out of his hand. The raid showed what they called among items they were looking a lack of courtesy. For in the raid on his hotel this isnt mueller, this isnt room, home, and office, they were looking for records of the justice department. Sure. Payments to women who allegedly but you know, mueller had affairs with President Trump essentially handed off the Stormy Daniels and karen information. So i think in trumps mind at least, theyre certainly linked. Mcdougal. And his attorney, michael cohen, the search warrants are looking lets not forget, is deeply tied for materials and documents related to election laws. To the mueller probe. We have more from zach wolf. Yeah. Has talked to them, you know, hi, zach. Had some business dealings, or, good morning. The president has mused you know, at least some weve openly about the possibility of heard word of some business firing rosenstein, sessions, and dealings that may be tied to the mueller probe. Mueller. Its hard to exactly completely but several senior gop officials are warning against that. Draw a line between them. Lets take a listen. I saw a funny tweet this morning about something to the effect of someone tell the i think it would be suicide for the president to fire him. Writers of 2018 that this is i think the less the president starting to feel a little like says about this whole thing, the rachel and ross. Lets get over the mueller will better off he will be. My advice to anybody would he or wont he fire mueller let director mueller do his job. Storyline here. It would be a mistake to fire him. I dont think his jobs in but every day that continues to be the storyline. Jeopardy. I do think its important we yesterday, sarah Huckabee Sanders said this the continue with the investigation. President believes he has the i think its in his best interests if he does did. The does not. The best thing is for mueller authority on this authority to be able to finish his work. To fire mueller. Listen. You said the president so zach, almost to a man and believes he has the power to fire Robert Mueller because woman, republicans saying mueller should not be fired. Usually most legal experts believe that he would have to do you think the president takes order Deputy Attorney general any of that into consideration, Rod Rosenstein to fire mueller or he just does whatever he and rosenstein could, of course, wants . How does he make this decision . Refuse. I know a number of yeah. Individuals in the legal i dont think hes listening community and including at the department of justice that he very much to marco rubio or any has the power to do so. Folks on the screen. But i dont have any further announcements theres no evidence that hes it is they said that rod listened to the republican rosenstein oversees the special leadership, much less counsel and only he has the rankandfile republicans on power to fire the special counsel. Again, weve been advised anything heretofore, much less this. Its clear that he wants to fire somebody maybe to exert some that the president certainly has the power to make that decision. I cant go anything beyond that. Control over this situation or show that hes in charge even the will he or wont he though its pretty clear that its going to continue. Storyline lives another day . It seems that the president wants to fire somebody, be it even if he did that, im not mueller or rosenstein, even jeff sure it would have the desired sessions. Im not sure firing any of those effect if he decided to fire one people is going to have the of these guys. Expected con the expected would any of those people do anything . I dont see anybody moving to effect of tamping any of this protect mueller. Youve got the establishment down. Certainly a bunch of gop republicans there saying dont do it, it would be suicide. Is it maybe its trouble for stallwart theyre saying them, not necessarily trouble dont do it. For the president. Theyre all warning him ag n the line recently about mueller, not about rosenstein against it, saying it could be a and sessions, but about mueller, catastrophic mistake. A week or so ago, was that thanks. Facebook Ceo Mark Zuckerberg house and Senate Leaders had facing tough questions on capitol hill for failing to assurances that that wouldnt protect user data. Nearly half of the senate happen. You know, im not sure you can take those to the bank because a grilled zuckerberg for five long couple of days later, trump was hours yesterday. Openly musing about it in front he emerged relatively unscathed of reporters. So its we dont know what in part because of the large number of questioners that left hes going to do. Little time for followup. Zach, turning to the other he began with a formal apology big story in washington today, for the host of issues plaguing more testimony from facebook ceo facebook. Its clear now that we didnt Mark Zuckerberg the social nitwit as the new do enough to prevent these tools from being used for harm, as york post the new york well. And that goes for fake news, for tabloids didnt like his testimony. Wall street did, stock up 4. 5 . Foreign interference in elections, and hate speech, as the papers are outliers. Well as developers and data the general perception was that privacy. Last month it was revealed zuckerberg did quite well. That a firm with ties to he was quite prepared. President Trumps Campaign and at the risk of sounding accessed the data of 87 million slightly ageist, there was a users without their consent.
