Department. Is the writing on the wall for the attorney general . And omarosa talking race in president S White House including her encounters with steve bannon. He explained that he was a proud white man and i tried to push back, but if youve ever i dont know if you have, but ive had a chance to sits down and talk to him and it is actually scary for him to not see the alignment and the harm it is doing. What many are calling the worst week of his presidency, donald trump remains consistent, he is using twitter again attacking the fbi, prodding the attorney general and pointing the finger at hillary clinton. But no denying that investigators are pouring over his personal and business finances. Michael cohen is accusing him the breaking finance campaign laws. And now some have imine imunity. We are covering it all. Michael, lets go back a month. You all report here that there is interest in that Allen Weisselberg has been subpoenaed. Catch us up to speed, what has happened. Take rais that raised a lot of questions. What we reported is that he had gotten immunity for his testimony in the grand jury and that he did in faskts go to tct grand jury. That did occur maybe a month ago or so as part of the Michael Cohen investigation. And as ceo of the Trump Organization, we learned in Michael Cohens plea that an individual who is weisselberg had approved invoices for reimbursement for the payment to Stormy Daniels in 2017 that was approved. I you right after that piece came out and i asked you who is the more valuable of these individuals . Allen weisselberg with the long history of working for the trumps, or Michael Cohen who was a fixer for so long, clearly communicated about this with donald trump. Who do you think has the more information or most valuable information . It could be two different things. Within, who has t en would, who has the most information, but in myhe the mo valuable. And Michael Cohen is pretty much able to cooperate and tell everything that he knows. The focus has been on washington. But also on a courthouse hearing in new york. And youve written about this. The degree to which what is drive things now is the Southern District of new york. Right. And i think that what is really perilous for the president is not necessarily this special counsel investigation, but prosecutors in manhattan. They dont necessarily pose a bigger threat to the president , but they definitely appear to pose a more immediate threat. I mean, three of the president s long time loyal allies have pleaded guilty or been granted immunity to testify against him. And that is absolutely huge. It is really, really damaging to the president. And people around him, people who work in the white house are scared, they think that this could have long lasting impacts. And steve back nnnon is saying it could have a neglect timt impact on the midterm elections. And of course now he is quiet about it perhaps because he realizes that the danger this poses to him especially when it comes to Allen Weisselberg. I have a feeling that this is not the last well hear of him. Not only was he involved in the Trump Organization and Trump Foundation, but he also controlled a lot of trumps accounts. He took over the trust. So he knows a lot. He also knows so much about what other hush money payments were made over the course of Donald Trumps life really. I mean he has been there exclusively throughout his adult life working for the trumps. So i dont think it is the last well hear from him and of course lanny davis has imif a iz emphasized that he has completely turned against the president and is willing to tell everyone everything. And jeff, you have advantage of proximity. You are there at the white house. You are traveling with the president when he went to ohio. And i want to get a sense of the degree to which this widening investigation is affecting the president. They are certainly bracing for the president to lash out. Really on twitter weve seen him take aim at what are now familiar foes. You have hillary clinton, the fbi, Justice Department, miss own attorney general Jeff Sessions. Of course i tick through the list as if it is normal for a president to attack his own Justice Department and attorney general even though it is not. But what the president is facing, he has legal headaches on four fronts. Robert Mueller Investigation, the investigation by the u. S. District court focused on Michael Cohen, you have Michael Cohen implicating the president in a crime, you have also have the new York State Attorney general looking into the Trump Foundation for what it calls persistent violations much state and federal law, and then the Manhattan District Attorneys Office which is pursuing criminal charges related to this whole Michael Cohen situation. So again the president at this point were told is really facing these scandals the way he has past scan dells trying to confront it head on. He even told a source familiar, joked with them that the media would erroneously report how angry he is about all of this. Republicans describe this as a real turning point, there is also real concern that the president might issue a pardon for Paul Manafort and dig the hole even deeper as one source described to me and really caused the calls for impeachment to grow even louder. And i want to talk about david pecker. I want you to tell me more about that relationship, what we have learned since the plea deal. It is an alliance based on mutual benefit. Give us a sense of what drove that. Yes, there was a lot of many at play, but why was to each sides advantage. David perk had a velckere relationship with trump since the late 90s. And he enjoyed association with powerful people. In turn he protected trump by not letting any negative stories about trump run even before he was running for president and certainly during the campaign, we learned this week that in august 2015, he promised to actually serve as kind of a vacuum for any negative information that might come up against trump. And then kill it which is what we had reported that he did in the case of Karen Mcdougal who alleged that she excellent with tru slept was trump and was paid 150,000 and we know ami employees were involved in the Stormy Daniels negotiations as well. And pecker was going to sell the mcdougal rights to Michael Cohen, but kind of killed that off. And finally, we learned that perk has told a pecker was told we reported that perk told the process cute tors that trump knew about the payments to the two women which is very significant because it supports Michael Cohens version that he stood up in court and said that trump knew about all this. Cohens version that he stp in court and said that trump knew about all this. The a. P. Is saying that there was a safe or safes indicating that there is a lot of information in there. Begs a lot of curiosity. What could be in those . He said that david pecker knew and kept in those safes information about that trump tried to bury about his kid, about his exwife, about affairs, about melania. He says there is a whole host of information that donald trump wanted to bury over the years and that was kept in that safe. Whether or not that is true, all evidence points to that can the case because of course trump has been known throughout his entire life to be very media savvy and not want bad stories about him to being out there and just be very much a control freak when it comes to what is published, but it is really interesting hearing the National Enquirer say that in a onthat into the oy was there is a safe in new york, but a safe in l. A. So it really does raise questions about what else was buried and killed. We have two months until Michael Cohen returns to be sentenced. One of the things youve been focused on is this Nuclear Power deal and the quasi lobbying cohen was doing about that. And again details about payment to a qui tar qatarian swrid ind. How rich is this deal in the middle east . We reported that the brokered the sale of real estate for a member of the qatar royal family and that was well above we were aware that he had a relationship with the gm because he had pitcd this deal in april. So he obviously mad a relatihad relationship with them going back several years. And we havent seen in the charges anything relating to lobbying as of yet. So it would definitely not be surprising if that were to emerge somewhere down the line, whether on the federal level or state level. So well be looking into it. And geoff bennett, we saw the president react i think one could say in terms of talking to fox news about flipping, weve seen numerous pieces now comparing his rhetoric to rhetoric weve heard members of the mob use in the past here. Lets talk about that one thing in particular though. His nemesis on flipping. What does that tell you about his focus Going Forward . Well, weve seen how he praised Paul Manafort for being strong and not breaking like Michael Cohen. He continues to taunt Jeff Sessions for doing his job really and recusing himself from the russia investigation. So the president has an entirely different view of his roam nle only as the leader of the executive branch, but as the president when it comes to how he should comport himself when it comes to these investigations. All right. Thanks to all of you for your time. Well talk a bit more about sessions in a little bit. An update on another story, the condition of john mccain.

President trump fighting with his own attorney general again. This morning he said Jeff Sessions does not understand what is happening underneath his command. That is the latest dig following a war of words this week in which of attorney general fired back saying in statement he took control of the department of justice when he was sworn in, that the actions of the doj will not be improviperlifully influe. Jill, tell me about the pin today. The pin is two flippers. And my twirts follo wit followel me who they think these are. Very good. Lets start with the sound. Wit me who they think these are. Very good. Lets start with the sound. What President Trump said to fox news. Lets take a listen. Having some trouble. Ill read you that Jeff Sessions said ill recuse myself. Only reason i gave him the job is because of loyalty. We have seen the attacks on the attorney general. I think 21 tweets in total expressing disapproval of what the attorney general has done. What was different about in week as you listened to what the president said and the three tweets that spoke to the attorney general about. To me it is a continuation of what he has been doing from beginning which is undermining or institutions of justice and it is very scary because i think when we look at the juror who has talked from the manafort trial, she was a supporter of his and she remains a trump supporter. But she recognizes that there was overwhelming evidence of guilt. So in a trial, jurors might quikts hi convict him, but voters will keep to support him. So to some extent he is being successful. She said the investigation is a witch hunt, she is parroting everything donald trump says. So it is scary how effective his attack has been even though it is based on a totally wrong headed view of the department of justice. Jeff sessions understands the role of the department of justice as the peoples lawyer. Not as Donald Trumps lawyer. They should be acting to protect the laws of america and the ruled of law in america. Ken, on that point, you wrote a must read peets of iece of an about that juror. You said she is an Ardent Supporter for President Trump, came to the manafort trial thinking that the muellers russia investigation is a witch hunt that is dividing america. She still thinks so, but she also has no doubt that Paul Manafort was guilty, she would have convicted him on all ten counts but they were stymied by one holdout. Give me your perspective. I agree with everything that jill said and i found this woman so sfas naturing. She has been fed in my view a diet of misinformation about the Mueller Investigation from right wing media. So she believes that tak s thas witch hunt. She said i went to polls and voted for donald trump, no russian held a gun to my head. But after 12 days of sitting in that trial where the prosecutors put in front of her a whole bushel full of evidence that Paul Manafort was guilty, she believed it. So people like this can be reasoned with, but they are fed an entire diet of lies. Like if nixon said a diet of people saying that it didnt happen. And it is much to Donald Trumps benefit. Jill, as this trial got under way, you and i spoke about how it was a documents case, this the first trial of Paul Manafort, and introduced into that was rick gates the former partner of paul manmanafort. One has to one dir twonder the he will play in the next trial. What is your read on that, what will prosecutors take away from the first trial as at the look head to the next trial in washington, d. C. . I think it was always a risk putting rick gates on the stand. They have certainly learned all of the weaknesses and how he will be attacked. And may be able to better put on a direct case with him to get that out of the way during the direct case. But it still is risky. It depends on where he has any specific knowledge in this next case that cant be filled in by documents. It clearly was the documents that led to the convictions in the virginia case. I dont know what the evidence will show. There are more document in the dooets cas d. C. Case. So it will be interesting to see how it plays on out. It is my experience as a trial lawyer that jurors act differently than ordinary citizens. They take very seriously putting aside their biases, they take very seriously looking at the evidence, and judging only on the evidence. And if you could have a juror like miss duncan who is so loyal to donald trump but can see the facts, if as ken said she would listen to msnbc a instead of fox news, she might have a different opinion of his whole presidency. But even still if he were to be indicted, the evidence against him would be viewed by a jury, not by his loyal voters about and that might make a big difference. Jill, thank you very much. Ken, ill ask to still with me. Up next, omarosa defending Michael Cohen. Let someone else do the heavy lifting.
