The president is trying to negotiate nuke with the leader, kimmon un. Bill the president is going back to his hotel where hell go back to the night. Couple things he said earlier talking about the relationship hes built and an honor to be together and talking about rolling out the red carpet on behalf and talking about the potential his country may have if he denuclearizes the country. John roberts live in hanoi, vietnam and well talk to him and former u. N. Ambassador, Bill Richardson standing have for reaction and we begin on capitol hill. Catherine herridge is reporting live. Michael cohen put out a 20page statement and catherine, whats the important part . Good morning, there. Based on the 20 pages of prepared remarks on the question of russian collusion he will testify he has suspicion but no direct evidence. He said his suspicion based on political operative roger stone with wikileaks. Michael cohen had closeddoor testimony and he lied to them in 2017 and prosecuted by the special counsel and he said he was not directed to lie by the president or anyone else. Cohen spoke to reporters yesterday after the ninehour session concluded. At this point in time i appreciate the opportunity that was given to me to clear the record and to tell the truth and i look forward to tomorrow to being able to, in my voice, to tell the American People my story and im going let the American People decide exactly whos telling the truth. Cohen will also testify based on the prepared remarks his old boss is a cheat and engaged in criminal conduct while in the oval office, bill. Bill what are you hearing from republicans . How will they deal with cohens testimony today, catherine . This is testimony from someone who is a convicted liar and point out again and again his suspicions would not be sufficient to bring a criminal prosecution. Kellyanne conway. Its interesting to me how the Campaign Manager for a Successful Campaign was not privy to the conversations and others are puffing around saying i was doing this and that. Yesterday a loyalist of the president posted a tweet that made allegations about Michael Cohens personal life. He has since apologized and taken down the tweet and said he did not mean to intimidate the witness testifying today, bill. Bill thank you. Meanwhile the negotiating Nuclear Weapons in hanoi. Well see you in an hour. President trump take to twitter writing this, Michael Cohen was one of many lawyers who represented me, unfortunately. He was just disbarred for lying and fraud. He did bad things unrelated to trump and is lying cueing crookeds lawyer. Stay with us. And Michael Cohens testimony is coming so say with us and well get analysis with bret baier and others on the legal side. Dont move. Its all coming up later this hour. Sandra, back to you now. Sandra i thought it was successful and some people would like to see it go quicker but i think this one hopefully will be equal or greater than the first and weve made a lot of progress and i think the biggest progress was our relationship is a good one. Sandra that was President Trump earlier this morning as he kicked off his second summit with the north korean leader. Chief correspondent john roberts is live in hanoi with more. Good evening to you from hanoi. The president and kim jongun getting to know each other better. Clearly the relationship has developed since their first summit in singapore last june. Lots of speculation as to what might come from the summit whether therell be tangible moves towards denuclearization. The president in the oneonone meeting with kim jongun touting the economic benefits if they were to give up the weapons of mass destruction. I think your country has tremendous economic potential. If kim is willing to give up the weapons is the question. Fox news heard of concerns within the administration denuclearization has become a negotiating point. Last night fox news was told by u. S. Officials denuclearization has not become a negotiating point and the u. S. Not moved from the position kim must agree to verifiable denuclearization and they dispute the notion the special envoy to north korea was willing to give away too much heading into the summit. Theres differences of opinion within the administration how this is moving ahead. As for what kim jongun is looking for, former north korean negotiator told fox news yesterday north koreas focus has always been normalization of relations with the United States but if kim wants it all he has to be willing to give up the nuclear program. Unclear if kim will be willing to take steps to dismantling the Weapons Program or if theres confidencebuilding measures. Experts say its not realistic to think kim jongun will give up his weapons first. In north korea theres still deep distrust of the United States and there has to be an action for action thing. Well find out, bill, what those action this week and whether therell be any actions at all. Sandra ill take it from there. John roberts in hanoi. Ou over to bill. Bill now Bill Richardson has a lot of experience former u. S. Emergency to the u. N. And form u. S. Ambassador of the u. N. And former senator of new mexico. What is chairman kim willing to give up now . Right now the issue is going to be whether hes willing to dismantle maybe some of his Nuclear Weapons or a moratorium on testing of missiles or some partial destruction of weapons of mass destruction. The good side is they built a personal relationship. Thats always important. Good vibrations. The issues going to be kim shifted to bilateral negotiations like remains of the soldiers and thats good. Hes done almost nothing on denuclearization since the first summit. So the test is going to be can this good person vibration and relationship of the two translate to kim tangibly taking some concrete steps for a framework of negotiations to dismantle some Nuclear Weapons. Hes got 54. Hes not going dismantle all his arsenal because it will put him at risk. Bill when you think about what President Trump is willing to give. Think of chairman kim, he doesnt like the sanctions and you can debate the effectiveness so the president comes to hanoi, vietnam and flown around the world twice now. What is he willing to give . I think what kim wants also is a formal peace treaty ending the war. The reason being is that allows a negotiation on american troops in south korea which is what kim wants. But what we should press him to do, thats a big concession we would make is a dismantling of at least the missiles that threaten japan. That threaten south korea, that threaten the United States. They already can reach the United States. We should not just give in on bilateral peace initiatives good for bilateral relationship. We has to give up some kind of nuclear missile, w. M. D. Disarmament and a schedule to do that. I hope the president insists on that because i know his advisors have been pushing for that for some time. Bill i just want to squeeze in one more question here. The president said at the third appearance we saw earlier well have a quick dinner and have a busy day tomorrow. Tomorrows when the action begins tomorrow morning and we should see the president in the press conference in the afternoon talking about the relationship. Quickly, sir, what do you think the time spent together can do to advance this process . Ive always found out with the North Koreans the way you negotiate with them is not across a negotiating table but informal settings, at meals, when they walk off together. They seem to have built a good rapport. This is where you make deals with the North Koreans. They dont do it formally after their talking points. That personal relationship with North Koreans and generally all over asia is critically important. So so far the summit is off to a good start. But kim jongun is relentless. Hes going to bob and weave like a boxer and want us to make the first move. Bill could be step two of a 12step program. We mentioned Lindsey Graham commented last week. Great insight. Great having you back. Bill richardson in new york today. Thank you, sir. Heres sandra. Sandra we have more breaking news at this hour. The house voting to block the National Emergency on the southern border . Whats next and whats it mean for securing the border . Plus, were moments away from Michael Cohens public testimony before the House Oversight committee. Coming up well be joined by a democratic lawmaker who will be questioning him.

Bill youll see jim jordan help lead things off in minutes. And the democratic lawmaker is here. What do you think the American People are going to learn from this today . Well, we need to keep it on the facts. I think theyre going to learn what President Trumps involvement was in the hush payment. I think theyll learn who directed Michael Cohen or encouraged him to lie to congress. And i think Michael Cohen is going to come clean and state the facts and the American People can decide what was done. Bill how do you trust him when hes two months from prison. Any prosecutor builds a case on a person with a shady past so im not going defend Michael Cohen. He has made errors in the past and committed crimes and the question is will he come clean . My sense is he wants to redeem himself and come clean. I think the American People will give him a fair hearing. I read his statement, ill get to it in a moment and the president is negotiate ong negotiating on highlevel things and the criticism is it stops at the waters edge. Thats not the case. I led an effort in the house to support the president in north korea and rooting for him to succeed. I think the dialogue is a terrific step. We can separate the cohen testimony but ever american should be rooting for the president s success in north korea. Bill thats one thing. Its another thing when you have a split screen and 45 minutes. You could do this any other time. Why did you pick today, sir . Well, the president picked going to vietnam today. I supported the president in the dialogue. The question is we still have to do our constitutional responsibility. This has been scheduled with Michael Cohen many times and well ask his story and to lay out the facts. It wont be sensational. I dont care about sensational allegations against the president. I just want him to tell the facts an people in this country can do two things, support his diplomacy overseas and congress can still exercise our responsibility of oversight. Bill heres what Michael Cohen will say in part. Questions have been raised whether i know of direct evidence mr. Trump of his campaign colluded i do not but i have my suspicions. I read through his statement. Its highly defamatory as the audience will hear as the hearing gets underway. What aspect of this is illegal . I want focus on the russian part because Michael Cohen isnt testifying about russia in our committee. Thats for muellers report. What Michael Cohen will testify to is the president provided him with illegal as while the president was in office he was writing personal checks to Michael Cohen to cover up for hush money Michael Cohen had paid and thats concerning. Whether youre a supporter of President Trump. Bill and im just trying to get the points in here and Rudy Giuliani is saying he was trying to protect his own family, including his wife, whats wrong with that . Lots of viewers were critical of john edwards when he paid hush money. This is almost analogous what the president did was paying hush money to keep something private and away from his wife and it has an impact on the campaign. Whats disturbing is people are questioning Michael Cohen. Can you imagine the president of United States is writing checks from his personal bank account and going to the oval office. Thats not what you want in this country. My hope is therell be people even supporters saying its demeaning to the office of the president , this was wrong and there should be some consequences. Bill no regrets about holding this today while the meeting continues with chairman kim, is that correct . You can read ive been one of the democrats supportive of the president s diplomacy in north korea and will continue. I think we have to continue the work of oversight. Thank you, bill. Bill we move through a lot. We have a delay in the satellite. Ro khanna well wait for your questions today. Sandra meanwhile, breaking news on two other stories were watching eight this hour. In at this hour. In vietnam the president sitting down with the first round of meetings with kim jongun. Well have more from hanoi straight head. Plus, the house blocking President Trumps National Emergency declaration. Whats the fight mean for security at the border . Congressman Michael Mccall will be here in moments on all of that.

The president is on strong legal ground to declare this emergency. Ultimately well stand with the president in making sure we can secure this border. There is no basis in law or in fact to declare a National Emergency. Trump has more stories than harry potter and all of them are make believe. I think the president tried to do everything in his power to work with the house and the senate. At the end of the day the president has a responsibility to make sure it gets protected. Sandra lawmakers taking sides on President Trumps declaration of National Emergency at the southern border. 13 republicans joined every democrat in the house to pass the resolution which move on to the senate with fate uncertain. And we have a Ranking Member of the House Foreign Affairs committee. Good morning, congressman. Mitch mcconnell said he could not handicap the outcome in the senate. What do you think happens with the vote in the senate on this . I cant predict the senate but the question is there an emergency at the border . I cant imagine anybody making argument there is none. We have all these family units coming up and drugs pouring into the United States. Human traffickers, the numbers are going up down there. We do have an emergency and president obama called it an emergency in the prior administration. I think the president is within his rights under the law congress has to declare this an Emergency Declaration and put monies down to secure the border. Sandra you say you cant imagine who would vote against the president s decision to do this. Here are the 13 republicans in the house who voted to block the National Emergency. You can look for yourself. Thomas and others. This goes on for a vote in the senate. We know among the republicans in the senate who will back the democrats measure to do this. One more could be a problem. I believe you with that. What does their vote mean, then . Obviously, it has to pass the senate first and i
