Eric former Deputy Assistant attorney Thomas Dupree will dig into all of it but we begin with rick leventhal. A stunning set of admissions in Lower Manhattan by a man who was one of the president s most trusted employees. He lied, paid women off he says to pay his boss. He walked out of the courthouse late yesterday free on 500,000 bond pled guilty to hiding income from his Taxi Cab Business and hiding debt to secure a Home Equity Loan and arranging payments to two women in the runup to the president ial election in coordination in and at the direction for a candidate to federal office to try to help him win. Mr. Cohen disregarded that training, that tradition and decided that he was above the law and for that he is going to pay a very, very serious price. He admitted he paid 130,000
to stephanie clifford, Stormy Daniels, because she was ready to go public with a claimed affair with mr. Trump. And he arranged to reimburse a tabloid to bury a story about Karen Mcdougal who also claimed an affair with mr. Trump. He says the president should be worried. Yes, he committed a crime. He should be indicted if he were not president , he clearly would be indicted and jailed for that crime. Whether he can be indicted as president , of course, is not yet decided. Nothing in cohens plea deal requires him to cooperate with any investigation of the president but it doesnt preclude him from doing it either. Eric the president is tweeting. What else are you hearing from the white house on the stunning developments . It was a pretty remarkable tweet and we got a Statement Last night from the president s new personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani who said there is no allegation of any wrongdoing against the president in the
president george w. Bush. What a morning, night, afternoon, the news keeps coming in. Paul manafort, what are the implications of the outcome of this trial on the Mueller Investigation and President Trump . Absolutely. What an afternoon it was yesterday. Developments occurring every hour on the hour it seemed. As far as manaforts significance, there are a few things to take away here. The first is look, this trial did not concern any of the work that manafort did in his role as Campaign Chairman for President Trump. The president is right. This didnt involve the collusion allegation, this didnt involve any work that manafort did for the campaign, for President Trump. So President Trump is not directly implicated by yesterdays verdict. At the most it calls into question the decision to have Paul Manafort serve as Campaign Chairman but tees up the question there is the possibility on a pardon on the table for manafort. He thinks it is not a fair
prosecution but remains to be seen whether the president feels so strongly about this that he would take an extraordinary step of pardoning Paul Manafort. Sandra does it put more pressure on other players in the russia investigation as this is seen as a victory for Robert Mueller. It shows mueller is not afraid to take the cases to trial and capable of obtaining for convictions that carry serious jail time. Anyone who has followed bob mueller and familiar with the folks on the mueller team. This is the varsity. Theyre serious prosecutors taking their mission seriously. Anyone who would underestimate that i think would be running a risk. Sandra all of it came minutes after Michael Cohen fed guilty in Federal Court. Hearing last night from his attorney lanny davis who is coming up at the top of the next hour on americas newsroom, said his client, cohen, more than happy to talk to mueller and tell all that he
A look at the days news and headlines. We have confirmed with Homeland Security investigations that he is an illegal alien and we believe he has been in this area now for four to seven years. Were able to track his pattern and the routes in which he took. We also were able to find Mollie Running on this video and we were able to determine that he is one of the last ones to have seen Mollie Running. Eric matt finn is live with the heartbreaking ending and why rivera was in this country in the first place. 24yearold Christian Rivera is charged with first degree murder in the death of Mollie Tibbetts. They say he confessed july 18th, the day mollie disappeared, he followed her on her jog and she became frightened and got out her cell phone and said get away from me i will call police. He says he blacked out and
doesnt remember what happened next but she ended up in his truck with a bloody skull. He led them to her body that he hid in a cornfield. Ice says rivera is from mexico and have placed a Detainer Request on him in this county. Weve learned rivera worked at a farm just a few miles from where mollie vanished. They released a statement saying rivera was an employee in Good Standing and somehow passed the governments everify employment system despite his status as an undocumented worker. It lists several owners of the farm. They might be relatives of craig lang who reportedly was a former republican candidate for iowas agriculture secretary. Mollies mother was with her two sons at the Press One Interference where police announced her daughters debt. She remained stoic and quiet as she has throughout this entire ordeal. Mollies dad lives in california and spent a full month on the ground here in

Eric after the convictions of Paul Manafort and Michael CohenPresident Trump had a rally in West Virginia stumping for Patrick Morrissey. He is trying to unseat democratic senator joe manchin in the midterms. President trump this november, voters in West Virginia will face a very simple choice. A vote for Patrick Morrissey is truly a vote to make America Great again. Joe manchin no longer has West Virginia values, period. When i get to the u. S. Senate, im going to be a strong ally of President Trump. Were all going to help sure this guy not only that we make West Virginia great again but continue to make West Virginia great again. Best way to do that. Liberal joe has got to go. Eric Attorney GeneralPatrick Morrissey joins us now from West Virginia. What do you mean joe manchin doesnt have West Virginia values. He has been leading in the polls and pretty close to President Trump. Well, i think most people in West Virginia are really beginning to see that joe manchin sold them out when things mattered most. When you support Hillary Clinton, barack obama, radical gun control. When you oppose the trump tax cuts and you dont try to really fix obamacare, these devastating premium increases, then you dont have West Virginia values. And thats joe manchin. Joe manchin went to washington, lost his way. I think as more people learn about my strong conservative record of accomplishment taking out the obama power plan, changing the National Drug quota system through our lawsuit and doing good things to help our state produce jobs, i think know this is a very clear contrast and they dont
want a dishonest liberal in joe manchin. They want a conservative fighter in Patrick Morrissey. Eric he says morrissey will have to answer to 800,000 West Virginiaance trying to take Health Insurance coverage away. Insurance companies could deny people with preexisting conditions like diabetes and high Blood Pressure if pat has his way. What is your answer to that especially in coal country where, you know, our great coal miners can face Serious Health problems . Well, i think this is another example of how joe manchin is being dishonest. These are scare tactics. There is no difference between the candidate on helping those who need it most, those with preexisting conditions and those with catastrophic expenses. Joe manchin has a terrible liberal record and thats why he has to make things up about my very strong record. Look, we have to get rid of obamacare. These spiraling out of control
premium increases that are hurting West Virginia families and so were focused on that. But joe manchin wants to divert attention in a topic where there is no difference between the candidates. Lets focus on getting rid of obamacares ridiculous premium increases. We got rid of the mandate in the tax bill that joe manchin voted against. It is time we make changes to help hard working Men And Women in West Virginia give them the kind of Healthcare Choices that they deserve. Eric youre an Attorney General, chief Law Enforcement officer of your state. Whats the reaction to your state and the voters with the cohen and manafort convictions and that the president okd hush money to try to influence the president ial election which would be a felony. Look, as a prosecutor, i have to take and look at all the facts. One thing i can see already and i think even the Mueller Probe proved there was no collusion. And so this has been a witch hunt for a long period of time. And make known no one is directly implicated the president. Eric Michael Cohen did yesterday by claiming that the president had directed him to make that illegal payment. Quickly. Look, i cant speak to the motivations behind someone who may have multiple charges against him, trying to cut a deal. I can tell you this, so far no one has directly implicated the president. This president has had great policies for West Virginia. Good judges,up holding the rule of law, taking away burdensome regulations, helping out coal. Eric i apologize. Were up against the computer and nothing we can do against the computer. Michael cohen did implicate the president. Charges, sir, charges, not facts. Sandra more on all this coming up.

pending resolution of the case. She was found in a corn field and there were corn stalks placed over the top of her. We confirmed that he is an illegal alien and we believe he has been in this area now for 4 to 7 years. Eric thats Special Agent in iowa on the tragic end of the search for Mollie Tibbetts. An illegal immigrant confessing to the murder of the 20yearold College Students. The suspect making his first appearance in court a few hours from now. Jonna spilbor joins us. So heartbreaking and terrible that this illegal alien who has been here for several years has been charged in this horrendous murder. If he wasnt in this country illegally Mollie Tibbetts apparently would be alive. Would still be alive today. You cant help but compare the case to the kate steinle case. And if we had a wall, mollie
tibbetts would be going to college in a couple of weeks as she should be. It is heartbreaking. Eric not just the wall but its actual laws were enforced then perhaps that would be the case. The difference between kate steinle and this, this suspect has confessed as opposed to going to trial. So we will not have an opportunity to have 12 people get it wrong like they did in the kate steinle case because they were picked from a pool in a sanctuary city. We have a confession. Unless he retracts it, it looks like there wont be a trial here. One of the things disturbing about this case his employer is saying he passed the Background Check. They did a Background Check and he passed it. That begs the question to me how easy is it to beat the system . How easy is it to fake the documents necessary that go into the everify system . Eric he works for a farm in iowa and he has been employed there for several years and
they say they check all their employees but go through the everify system. Can you explain what that is
