wasn t a player of significance? president trump: he was a lawyer for me for one of many. they always say the lawyer and they like to add the fixer. i don t know where that term came from. he has been a lawyer for me. didn t do big deals, did small deals. not somebody that was with me that much. they make it sound like i didn t live without him. you hear the president s description there cohen pleaded guilty to campaign finance violations which is an interesting thing to plead guilty to, considering there are a great many attorneys, including some i ve spoken to here, who don t think that rises to the level. see how that all plays out in sentencing and moving forward. jon, back to you. jon: more to come on both of those cases. kevin corke at the white house. sandra: another exclusive interview for fox news shan an bream sitting down with one of the jurors in the paul man fort trial and how close the jury
