to russians like maria butina. she actually admitted to trying to build relationships with the nra and trying to influence u.s. relations with russia. lawmakers have also been looking into the nra financial support ever trump in 12016 and whether there were any large sums ever russian money that flowed to the nra, something the nra denies. we don't know if he is just covering all of his bases.

cohen's testimony before congress next month will not include any topic that is under investigation. that is according to top republicans on the house oversight committee. they claim cohen's lawyer

committee. they are expected to hear testimony from cohen on february 7. sources tell cnn president trump is not mad at rudy giuliani despite the conflicting answers the attorney has given recently.

as october/november. >> that answer contradicted months of statements by trump and his team that discussions ended in january 2016. within a day giuliani had to walk it back saying his comments were hypothetical, even so a source familiar with the trump legal team says, quote, rudy is not getting fired. the president thinks giuliani is effective. another source tells us giuliani is one of the few people that the president has not been screaming about over the last few days. >> one wonders if it muddies the waters or if there is a strategy at all. larry kudlow is denying reports that the u.s.

puerto rico this week, an interesting political choice given that the residents of puerto rico do not get to vote in the u.s. presidential election. it was clear that she wanted to come here in part to send a message about president trump. she has been very critical of the way that president trump and the administration has handled the aftermath of hurricane maria. we asked her about that before she spoke at this event here behind me. we also asked her about the growing 2020 democratic field. here is what she had to say. >> donald trump won't even pay the people of puerto rico the courtesy of acknowledging the deaths of the people they love. and now that he is caught in this fight to try to find funding to be able to build a monument to hate on the southern border of the united states, he looks over to puerto rico to see if he can take away unspent dollars that were designated for relief efforts. that is just fundamentally wrong. >> reporter: the 2020 field is growing by the day. how do you set yourself apart from everybody else who is already in or is going to get in? >> i think this is an exciting moment. it is a reminder that democrats have a lot of ideas and a lot of energy.
