But according to the white house, the president has been advised he, he can terminate Robert Mueller all by himself. Does he believe he has the power to fire Special Counsel Robert Mueller . Certainly believes he has the power to do so. Most legal experts believe he would have to order Deputy Attorney general rosenstein to fire mueller and corefuse. I know a number of individuals in the Legal Community and including at the department of justice said he has the power to do so but i dont have any further announcements. They told me, ive asked. They said its rosenstein oversees is the Special Counsel and only he has the power to fire the Special Counsel. Again, weve been advised that the president certainly has the power to make that decision. I cant go anything beyond that. Weve been advised the president certainly has the power to make the decision. To be clear, the warrants that were executed agains

michael cohen, the president and his legal team defended cohen. rudy giuliani calling him an honorable man. now, they are seeing a very different tune. listen to the two different sound bites from the president s attorney, rudy giuliani. he doesn t have any incriminating evidence about the president or himself. the man is an honest, honorable lawyer. i expected something like this from cohen. he s been lying all week or for two weeks, been lying for years. reporter: president trump himself tweeting on friday suggesting that cohen was making up stories in order to lessen the weight of the legal burden that he is facing, potentially in part because of his taxicab business. aides tell cnn that they have tried to pack president trump s schedule with travel, trying to get him to focus on the economy and not the steady drip of information coming from the russia investigation, but, of course, this has been a cloud hanging over the administration, one that president trump apparently is una
as distancing from the white house, i mean there is not a whole lot mr. president trump could do, call off the investigation, which would create tremendous problems constitutionally as a matter of separation of powers or preemptive broad pard than in my mind first of all would be constitutionally suspect to the extent to which it was seeking to obstruct an investigation and secondly wouldn t affect any state crimes that mr. cohen might be liable for. his partner in the taxicab business already pled guilty to tax fraud. so it remains to be seen the breadth that mr. cohen can in terms of information the breadth of information he has to share with the southern district and whether that s going to bleed over into the mueller investigation. yeah. oswin, reporting too that part of michael cohen s motivation with the abc news interview might have been about the idea of changing the narrative in the court of public opinion about him. has it been changed? i don t think it has.
