right now >> i'd front next breaking news, new reporting just into outer and what is the most important day of the entire hush money trial? we now know what team trump plans to zero in on with michael cohen plus more breaking news. this our a brazen assassination attempt, a world leader, close putin ally shot five times in broad daylight still in the hospital, as i speak will tell you what we know. and nikki haley doing it again primary after primary double-digit support, even though she dropped out of the race months ago so where are these supporters going to go? >> let's go out front and good evening. >> i'm erin burnett and we begin out front tonight with the breaking news. >> the trump is too cheap

defense. so paula reid has this incredible new reporting tonight about teen trump's strategy heading into what they say will be the most important day of trump's criminal trial. >> so in just hours, michael cohen is going to return to the stand. and cnn is learning that trump's lead attorney todd blanche, right, who's doing the cross plans to zero in on just how cheap trump is using that cheapness to say that trump would never have agreed to quote gross up the stormy daniels hush money payments to michael cohen. and this is what goes right to the heart of the entire criminal case. which is the alleged fraud of business documents. >> remember not illegal to pay the hush money payment. >> it is how and when the payment happened. >> that matters. >> trump's basically going to say he was weighed too cheap to gross up that hundred $30,000 payment. >> now, this would be a very clear shift from what we saw on tuesday, blanche and cohen went back and for talking about cohen's profanity laden posts about trump, how much money cohen made from his books and

podcasts and anti-trump coffee mugs and t-shirts. >> and the cross tuesday was confusing for any of us who were in the room. harry litman, a former deputy assistant attorney general, said, and i quote harry, my basic assessment cross is not crisp, clean in or quick enough. >> the managing editor of lawfare said, most of it boring and seemingly aimless. >> and even this piece from fox use cross-examination throws michael cohen off balance, but belabor the point that he hates trump the labors and buoying, boring, not glowing reviews. and it may be not trump lawyers fault, not blanche's followed. i memean, trump, of course, is the client and in this case, not a client who takes direction. a client who gives direction, a client who calls the shots. his legal team has managed to stay on trump's good side by doing what trump wants them do. tap, tap on the shoulder hand the note in an immediate reaction from blanche or beauvais or necklace so will that change tomorrow remember that blanche here is a well-regarded former federal prosecutor. >> he has a very good

reputation. he's taken on people accused of murder, and he does know what he's doing in a courtroom. and as we're closing in on this crucial day of testimony, questions are now growing as to whether trump himself will actually testify. of course, he has said he would is lawyers haven't fully shut down the idea that trump will do this and that is going to be the crucial question so much at stake with how this cross goes tomorrow. and paula reid is out front to begin our coverage live in new york tonight. and paula is your incredible new reporting here at the center of what trump's team he missed planning tomorrow. tell us everything you're learning was you just said this is the game, the cross-examination of michael cohen tomorrow will likely decide this case. >> and i've learned that they are going to now start focusing on what he said during his address. direct examination, and his previous statements about this case they're gonna zero in on some new things that he revealed while he was on the stand. >> and also look at some statements that they believe have been inconsistent. >> in addition to trying to challenge his memory of conversations he had with then

candidate trump back in 2016 there are going to challenge this idea that cohen wasn't doing any legal services for trump or that ms grossed up money was not meant to be payment for legal services and point to the fact that michael cohen has never had a retainer and the entire time that he worked for trump's, so that should not be something that is of significance now, the goal here, aaron is not to destroy michael cohen on the stand. the goal of the rest of this cross-examination it's just doubt in the minds of at least one juror that they should make such a significant decision based on the testimony of this man now, this cross-examination of michael cohen could go until monday and then it's unclear if the defense is going to call any witnesses, but they may call just one expert witness to the stand. which means the jury could have this case by thursday wow. >> all right. paula, thank you very much. and our experts are all with me. so paul martin, hours away from michael cohen coming back on to the stand.

and interesting, they're going to go right to the heart of it to basically say, this, the fraud here is not something trump would have done. well, because he wouldn't have grossed it up. >> well, it's about time because enough of beating them up at 11. is that issue is not whether he lied to congress. it's not whether he lied to another court. if the issue was is he lying to this jury? >> and i think blanche is going to have to really cross-examined him and bring out the fact that what he said in his previous testimony is untrue and then force him to admit that he's a liar to them, to them in this specific case. >> that's correct. necessarily, you know, todd blanche well, you know, when i was sitting in the room the other day and he started out and he was livid, right? calling out a post that michael cohen had posted with profanities about todd blanche that got struck, stricken from the record and and then there was this for such a strong start at then there were moments it was boring. i'll be honest, a hidden room, you know, todd blanche worked for him for many years do you think he felt that and he's going to bring it tomorrow i think that

was an unusual place for todd to start and it didn't go well for him. it was objected to the judge shirt a slept him down and he had to pivot he started and then he went into sort a lot of questions about motive here. what is michael cohen's motive to testify? >> to make money or he hated trump? >> that's right. i think he made those points and really needed to move on. cross-examination doesn't always produce those aha moments. those tv moments, some of it is just plotting and boring and it's a way to poke little holes, little paper cuts in the winter this a story that ultimately the defense is going to stand up at the end of the de and say all of these little thing show that michael cohen is incredible. >> so daniel as a foreign manhattan assistant district attorney you know, having been in these rooms before what is at stake for blanche tomorrow. >> so i think what's at stake for him is he is really as paul said, he's really got to cut to the chase. he cannot waste

time. i know that there's been some reporting that the cross examination may go until monday. he really needs to bring it home and get to the point. and if the defenses, as paula suggested, its tank trump is too cheap. he's going to be very careful that the prosecutor we shouldn't has spent weeks building evidence to show how engaged donald trump is in the minutiae of the finance of his organization. and that's a very, very fine line for him to walk. >> it's definitely what do you think of the trump is too cheap to actually have agreed to gross up that money. defense so when i was listening to you, i was actually smiling, erin, because it's true. he's known for not paying people in that he can be quite cheap, but i think to me that just shows how much he wanted to cover this up and how important it was. that story, not get out there before the election day. so i don't it makes no sense to me that seems kinda random. i don't feel like it will backfire. >> yeah, it is. i mean, it's new. i mean, in terms of what

paul we're hearing, i mean, but i guess the question is if it doesn't go well tomorrow or as well as they think it needs to go then you got the question of trump himself. >> yes. and that's an interesting question because i wouldn't put him on the stand if if my last dollar or 130,000 of a dependent upon it, but listen, this man controls his attorneys and he doesn't listen to his attorneys. his attorneys want him to stay away from that witness stand. the prosecution wants him to take us. you were saying he will have to deal with questions literally along the lines of what color were your what color were your box. >> okay. i was gonna go with pajamas, but you're right box? >> yes. >> so he's going to answer those questions. those are questions that he's uncomfortable with and he's also in a position where he's not going to be able to pivot and walk away the prosecution's we're going to keep him on that witness stand and are going to get the answers that they want to hear. he's not going to have the question. the answers that he needs the answer to get him acquitted i'm just curious, sir, when you look at this, do you do you understand why todd

blanche is in this position to begin with? >> i mean, we've talked about obviously is a great reputation many years, i know you think very highly of him. he's chosen to go out on his own, have one client work at a 40 wall street, buy a home near mar-a-lago. does any of that surprise you it's a decision that i think other defense attorneys wouldn't have made trump puzzle long history of falling out with his lawyers, long history of not his lawyers. >> this was you know, i am sure tide weighed a lot of factors before making this decision. he gave up what was prestigious job and partnership at a procedures firm to do this. so he had his reasons. i don't know what they were, and but definitely some others would have made a different decision, right? >> all the eggs in one basket as they may say, daniel. so obviously trump. we've got back question of whether he will go on the stand and there were a couple of witnesses that the defense was talking about, maybe an expert witness. do you think it's worth it for them to put anyone on the stand?

>> i just don't know how an expert jives with this defense, right. they pay they've tried to impeach desperately the credibility of the two key witnesses, right? stormy daniel's are actually three keith davidson and now michael cohen. so what is an expert going to add to this? i mean, they've essentially said these witnesses made this up for all of their various reasons. so how does an once an expert going to add to this, i'm not really sure. i understand what the strategy would be for that. >> stephanie trump keeps saying he wants to testify, then he said, oh, my lawyers told me not to write. he's he's opening giving giving the cracking the door open to not actually doing it. do you think he really wants to i think is ego, of course, wants to. he wants to go in there and fight. it doesn't like again, that he's been sitting at a table and he hasn't been able to say anything. he talks about this gag order all the time, but i don't think there's a chance he'll he'll do it and he will

continue to blame blame his lawyers. they'll blame the judge. you'll say it's because of the gag order which we have. know. is not true. >> so he he knows the stakes and so he won't do it. but i'm sure there's a part of him that's itching to paul. can i just from where we are right now, how far is the process where are we on reasonable doubt? right. you need one juror to have a reasonable doubt. that's all you need. where are we right now in that have have they proved it beyond? reasonable doubt with what we have seen thus far with texts or text to allen weisselberg with gross up on the sheet of paper. where you've been in the courtroom after they brett made out a prima facie case. but who knows what's going on in the minds of the jurors. someone may not, unlike the way stormy daniels turned one way or they didn't like the way cohen made the answer to this question or that answer. the real issue is going to be, i think in this case, the summations. and if trump doesn't take the stand, if trump doesn't take the stand, this is going to be in a summations case that will win, that in the closing statement, correct. >> so when you look at it, what

i find so far, it's been so much emphasis to stormy daniels and michael cohen. >> did you hate trump? well, yeah, obviously they did and they've both said that, right? i mean, not at the time. right. but that they do now. but there's been an extraordinary amount of time spent proving that they hate donald trump when they both posted such on social media. again and again and again, it's not a secret. what's the purpose of that? >> defense team is really trying to undermine their credibility and they're doing it any way they can at the end of the day here in order to convict the jury has to believe michael cohen. michael cohen gave the crucial evidence and the last few days regarding these meetings with trump won with trump in weisselberg one with trump at the white house. the jury has to believe michael cohen's version of those events, i think to convict here so whatever the defense team can do to undermine michael cohen's recollection of those events, his credibility generally is going to help them help bring them to the finish.

>> is there a piece of it? evidenced thus far dinner that you think is most crucial to proving beyond a reasonable doubt that trump directed this i think it's just the whole melange of small pieces and big pieces in some ways, i think that some of the most compelling evidence came from the people both from trump world. >> the assistance, the secretaries, the controllers, who talked about like hope hicks did it's a small family business and it's run very tightly very carefully in some ways that to me is the most damaging evidence because it just completely eviscerate any defense instead, trump didn't know about this or wasn't engaged with it. >> and stephanie, i guess it does boil down to the bottom line. if you take the gross sap number and you add in the extra legal fees or whatever they're saying about $400,000 is, there any way that you can see from everything you know of trump that such amount would have left without his knowledge

absolutely not. >> i think madeline, when madeleine westerhout talked about how he looked at everything, he was very thorough that is how he was with everything, whether it communications or finances i remember for a convention, the rnc convention that we're going to have on the white house lawn for the 2020 election. we had to fight with him about the small dollar amount to cater food for people on the white house lawn. so that was the president, the united states arguing with e summing about food. and it was like $5,000. so absolutely. that is who he is. he looks at everything. >> all right. thank you all very much. i appreciate it powerful anecdote there. >> next the breaking news we do have new video of a world leader gone down in broad daylight today, officials are giving more details about what motivated this attempted assassination or live outside the hospital. he's in surgery we understand right now. plus russia making gains in the major ukrainian city of kharkiv were live on the ground. there are nick peyton walsh's there

starting to heat up. >> this is going to be funny, isn't it? >> rangers, hurricanes, boilers could always begins tomorrow with six 30 on tnt breaking news, assassination attempt on a world leader across a closed putin ally, the prime minister of slovakia, shot five times at close range. >> now he is fighting for his life undergoing hours of surgery because we're just getting new video showing the moment the prime minister was actually attacked today. >> fred pleitgen is outfront live outside the hospital where the prime minister is, right now and surgery and fred, what is the latest you're learning about this entire attack hi there and with the latest we, that we have is that the prime minister of slovakia was actually in surgery for several hours as the surgeons here we're fighting for his life, obviously shot almost point blank five times the authority saying all this happened at an offsite government meeting in central slovakia that he was supposed to chair. and before

that meeting apparently, he was going to greet some people in the crowd and that is when a gunman opened fire. now the government of this country says that all of this was politically motivated and it's certainly happened in broad daylight. and i do want to warn our view are some of the images you're about to see are very disturbing. here's what we're learning and assassination attempt in broad daylight just slovakia's prime minister robert feet. shot and unable to walk the guards rushing him into a car. >> you alleged shooter still just feet away, tackled by police pizza, was shot multiple times and immediately rushed to the hospital then airlifted to a major trauma center his condition is a threatening according to the slovakian government roberts pizza is still fighting for his life. >> slovakia's defense minister says, it's supposed to go it's absolutely clear. one eyewitness said the scene felt like, quote, a nightmare and

described hearing quick shots ring out in the crowded area those are stable. it was quick one by one, like if you throw a firecracker on the ground, i saw a scratch on his head and then he fell next to the barrier no one else was injured in the shooting, which happened in the central slow town of hand lava just after an offsite government meeting this was speed, so right before the attack, speaking calmly at a press conference, like any other day feet. >> so who served two previous terms as prime minister divisive figure and slovakia and across europe, he won a third term last year by running on a campaign to end military support for ukraine making no secret of his sympathies for russia pizza is known for being anti-immigration anti-lgbtq rights, and very critical of the european union. but in the immediate aftermath of this assassination attempt, politics has been set aside one of

slovakia's opposition parties also calling it an attack on the nation's what doesn't and attack on the prime minister is clearly an attack on the internal security of slovakia many in this country of about 5.5 million people, deeply shaken and shocked by the violence i think it's a nightmare that this is not possible to happen in slovakia so there you can see very little known at this point in time, aaron about the actual alleged gunman, a certainly, of course, there is a big investigation that's going on here in this country. >> one of the things that we did mentioned in our report is that a feat. so is obviously very close to vladimir putin and therefore very controversial figure, not just in europe but in this country here as well. vladimir putin also one of the people who spoke out today calling what happened here today, a monstrous crime and also saying he hopes that robert fits. so we'll pull through aaron. >> all right. friday. thank you very much. in slovakia and also

tonight, russian forces pushing closer to kharkiv any northeast ukraine, a major city home to more than 1 million people out front, obtaining a video update from the city's mayor tonight, who tells us that constant battles, those are his words are underway there as the russians are striking residential areas from the air here he is you should use the russians have become more active and the tactics they are using now, our tactics to intimidate people, to destroy housing, to destroy communications this is a tactic to intimidate people to force them to leave the city nick paton walsh is out front live from kharkiv, ukraine and nick, obviously you have been there many times throughout this war scene. it liberated. now seeing again these attacks, how fast or russian troops moving toward the city yeah, look, it is frankly horrifying how we've seen a completely new front

opened by russia. >> fran, did you say which we've seen kicked out or in 2022, i near study salty up towards vovchansk, a key border town today. and just reminding myself, standing there, how we'd say the russians pushed out of their late 2022. this is probably the worst moment for ukraine on the front lines since the early months of the war itself. and behind me, you can barely see kharkiv, a reflection of the light discipline they have here we've had missiles landing in the past hours. >> other booms, it's above chance on the border where russia appears to be seen the most progress ukraine admitting today that their troops had put themselves and more favorable positions. >> that's basically a euphemism for a tactical withdrawal there and a police chief said there was gunfire in the city. i spoke to one woman who'd been just been evacuated this afternoon. she said she'd been in a basement hearing the town on fire for days and knew that russian troops were in the neighboring street so the pace, things are very grave in that particular town. also, russia seems it has its hands on about a double digits worth of villages along that border

area. that goal, it seems to keep pushing south towards this ukraine's second city, potentially putting their artillery and range that maybe one goal, another goal potential usually is to force ukraine to rush forces north from already very heavily stretched front lines in the east and in the south. that's something president volodymyr zelenskyy today warned he was cognizant of as he canceled or foreign travel. remember part of his job is going on. allies trying to get more arms faster. >> the real fear in the last week or months, we've seen russia make extensive progress in the east tiny villages, people barely ever spoke of, but essentially lining themselves up for summer where they can really pressure key ukrainian military hubs in the east and really make a huge difference on that front line. isn't just one new unexpected front in the north there pushing all along the front lines in the east and the

south. >> and that is seeing some kind of gain. >> remember the arms that secretary of state antony blinken talked about in kiev being on their way that would delayed by a republican congressional dysfunctionality since to sell but they're not here. they won't be here for at least a month. they may trickle in, but they aren't changing the battlefield at all yet. >> vladimir putin sees a window. >> he knows that potentially month for two things will be a lot harder because ukraine will have the ammunition it needs to stop advancing russian forces. so he's got the ammunition now, he's it's got the manpower has got the time and he's got the resources. he is throwing them all at here. we can hear out towards vovchansk ourselves many airstrikes landing nearby. >> they are really moving pretty fast as i say, probably the darkest days for you cranes front lines since the early days of the war, erin. all right. >> nick paton walsh. thank you very much and next, the number one issue for americans in poll after poll, after poll. president biden told me on this

issue that is it is administration has already turn the economy around is that the case? i may ask the fed president of the chicago fed reserve plus a top republican who voted to impeach president trump over january 6. tonight's saying he would immediately hardened trump more than 500 million in art stolen me, saw what turned out to be the biggest dark heist in history. >> you can't help but wonder if this was some sort of fee inside job. >> how would really happen with jesse l. martin sunday at nine on cnn, liberty mutual customize my car insurance and i save time hundreds that's great. >> i know i've been telling everyone how many people did you tell only pay for what you need like you have chronic kidney disease. >> you can reduce the risk of kidney failure with bar sega because their places like to be for seeker can cause serious

side effects including ketoacidosis that may be fatal, dehydration, urinary tract, or genital yeast infections and low blood sugar a rare life-threatening bacterial infection in the skin of the perineum could occur stopped taking for sika and call your doctor right away if you have symptoms of disinfection and allergic reaction or ketoacidosis water would help with this dry spots. >> that's long disease, but scots healthy plus will cure it lung disease going around so like other people have it and it's not up a bag of a newscaster field to help me plus lawn through today. chances for plane crash one and million. you're not can finish this off tonight trying never waking up from anesthesia. one in 185,000. validate your parking or see how it goes. me why stress about the unlikely does a killer clown worry about being struck by lightning while winning the lottery? here it out. but your odds of falling victim to online crime are one in four you need ora, you your family, all protected from scary online stuff.

>> that map to protect everything your family does online with aura and fisher investments, we may look like other many managers, but were different you can't be that different. >> we are we have a team of specialists, not only an investing, but also in financial and state planning and more, your clients rely on you for all that? yes. and as a fiduciary, we always put their interests first, but you still so commission-based products, right? >> no, we have a simple management fee structured, so we do better when our clients do better, we're more different than i t $20, go to deal dash.c

and see how much you can save the stanley cup ever been higher? life is on the line right now. who, now the distractions places, raucous than relying your trainings with school consequences my goodness wow, this drop, one

still higher sky high tonight, the stock market surging, closing at a new record high investors exuberant after a new report showing year over year inflation ticking down, tick down from 3.5% to 3.4%. you might say, well, that is just really almost nothing. and okay, but it comes after several months of increases in the inflation rate out front. now, austan goolsbee, president of the federal reserve bank of chicago, also, of course, was a top economic advisor in the obama white house and a professor and a lot of other things that but present goes by really appreciate your taking the time here. so core inflation goes from 35234 and i know that's as i said, almost it's not very much, but it had been going up. so people obviously are relieved by any sort of assign that may be inflation is abating. do you think that this one report is a sign of where things are going

or not? >> i hope so. i mean, it does seem like the day trading crowd gets themselves worked up, up, down in an every other way. faster than the timetable that the data come out faster than the than the, let's call it the monetary timetable if you take a step back over the last one year, one-and-a-half years, inflation is way down from its peaks and we were able to get inflation down pretty substantially without a recession. so that in itself is extremely unusual and to be applauded. but let's not make too much it. yes, there was improvement. i'm glad we saw improvement but we hit a briney, tough bum at the start of this year. we had seven months of decent inflation numbers at the end of last year we had a couple of months of poor inflation numbers to start

this, we're seeing some improvement, but one month is no months. i mean, let's let's let's get several months before we start getting real happy after in march, you had said you were open to interest rate cuts this year, i believe you said you opened a three of them and then in april, pointing to the inflation numbers, right. >> which had started to look more grim. you said we have to wait with a wait and see on cuts so where are you now on this? do you think the fed will cut interest rates this year or not? >> i mean, i really don't like tie in our hands even partially when we're going to get a whole bunch of information. i said on the continuum of doves, the hawks i don't want to be a bird. where the data dogs and the data dogs thing is no, the difference of when is it time to walk and when is it time to stop and sniff and when you're getting numbers that are crosscurrents and some of the

numbers are strong and some of the numbers are weak. the thing to do is just keep sniffing around and try to figure out, is that a sign of overheating or are we on this longer trajectory? of inflation coming down? i'm optimistic that we're continuing on this downward trajectory, but i just think it's too early to be, to be moving right. >> and of course, the context, obviously, okay. as you point out, the market goes up, the market though is very detached from the way americans perceive things right now, because we see it. everyone sees it people are worried, people are worried about the economy. it's, it's the number one issue and they are, you see it in consumer sentiment numbers. and a lot of the concern does come from inflation and when i interviewed president biden, i asked him about that and i asked him about some of the real challenges people face and how he sees it. and i wanted to play the exchange for you the cost of buying a home in the united states is double what it was when you look at your monthly costs from before the

pandemic, real income, when you account for inflation is actually down since you took office, economic growth last week, far short of expectations consumer confidence, maybe no surprise, is near a two-year low with less than six months to go to election day. are you worried that you're running out of time to turn that around? we've already turned it around. look look at the michigan survey for 65%, american people think they're in good shape economically, i think the nation's not in good shape, but they're personally good shape. the polling data has been wrong all when i started this administration people were saying are going to be a collapsing economy. we have the strongest economy in the world let me say it again. in the world all right, so i just want to ask you about the way he began. >> his answer. we have already turned it around. do you think that's fair? >> i hesitate only because once i joined the fed, i kinda got

68555 russia is we're trying to spy on us. we were spying on them. >> i was already frightened this is a war, but secret was parts and spies, a nuclear game premier sunday, june 2 ten on cnn know tonight, face off president biden and former president trump agreeing to go head to head in a debate on cnn. this is nikki haley remains a major thorn and trump's sayyed despite dropping out of the race more than two months ago halley scoring 20% of the vote in maryland's republican primary last night, haley also getting 18% of the vote in nebraska. both states closed primaries, which means only republicans can vote haley now has hit double digits in 15 states after she ended her campaign including crucial swing states that had had infinitesimal margins last time around, including arizona and georgia, also important states like

pennsylvania and wisconsin front. now the former republican congressman ken buck and congressman, i appreciate shake your time. and as i mentioned, those primaries last night, marilyn and nebraska were open only to registered republican voters. you can't say this was democrats are independents going in and voting for haley but do you read anything into this? is this a warning sign for trump or not? >> i think it's clearly warning sign. these are protest vote, so these are people who are not happy with how he is presented himself and the positions he's taken on certain issues, and they are expressing themselves and the only way they know how the primary system we have in america is flawed. but one of the flaws is that we can't get more people to dissipate in primaries, but in this case, these voters have said, given what i've, given the opportunities that i have, i'm going to make sure that my vote is heard loud and clear by voting for candidate who's not even in the election. >> i mean, is when you look at this, i mean, it is just state after state after state now,

this is coming ahead of bates because president biden, former president trump have now agreed to two debates which is very significant, right? the first is going to be here in june on cnn both sides tonight though, are now casting doubt on their rival and whether they're actually follow through. here they are today donald trump says, a lot of things will see if he actually shows up i wonder whether or not he shows up sort of like a game of chicken here how bad will it look for either one of them if they literally don't show up well, i think these are the two least popular presidential candidates in a long time. >> so i don't know if they're numbers can go any lower, but certainly not showing up after you've given your word and your campaign has given its word, that you'll be there. it's pretty embarrassing and speaks volumes. it's still pretty far our out from the election. so yeah, i suppose they can make up some room as they get closer to the election, but if you're going

to agree to something, this significant, this noteworthy to the american people. i would expect both of them to follow up and i expect both of them to be there. >> well, now, i want to ask you about a couple of other important things right now. one of them is what's going to happen tomorrow where you've got two of the most powerful republican committee chairman jim jordan, james comer. they are pushing with a resolution to hold merrick garland, the attorney general, and contempt of congress. now, obviously, you know them both. well, you served and those committees. >> do you agree with jordan and comer on this move to hold garland and kentucky? no. i think it's a political stunt. aaron, this is a the the transcript from president biden's testimony in front of special counsel, her has been turned over. they have the material in front of them, what they're looking for is president biden's voice, so that it can be used by the trump campaign in an election cycle that's just unnecessary attorney general garland, give

them a huge amount of credit here. he took a lot of grief from the left for not redacting the report and withholding certain information that he released so that he would be fully transparent. the american people would have all the information and now he's getting attacked by the right for not releasing an audio or an audio tape that can be used in a campaign. i he is an attorney general, released the transliteration. >> right? they released the transcript. they have the information or they're just looking for something for political purposes, right? is significant, right? there's not what they don't know what he said. they do. of course, they have have a full transcript just like we do every day in that courtroom. and speaking of trump and court, i want to ask you about something that senator mitt romney just said, actually a little bit ago. so i don't know congressman have even a chance to hear because it happened right before we came to air. romney, of course, voted to convict trump in both of his impeachment trials. he told nbc in part quote, i had i've been president biden and i think it's important because at that moment, as you know congressman when he talked

about a voting to impeach because of january 6, he was moved to tears about the importance of that decision and that vote, which is why what he's saying tonight to nbc is significant. he says, congressman, had i been president biden? when the justice department brought on indictments, i would've immediately pardon tim at a pardon president trump why? well, because it makes me president biden, the big guy and the person i pardoned, a little guy. >> and again, the context here, a man who was moved to tears with his vote to impeach. we know where he stands. he thinks these are real and important cases. talking of course, about january 6 do you agree with senator romney? >> i don't i actually think that you go through the trial process. if president biden wins the presidency again and president trump is convicted, there's a lot of ifs and that sentence i think that president biden then should consider pardoning president trump, but i think at this point in time, president trump has should have the ability to defend i'm in court. and when an innocent verdict or not guilty verdict

rather than having a pardon right at the beginning where a cloud remains over his head. >> all right. interesting that you do not don't support that preempted pardon all right. congressman buck, i always appreciate talking to you. thank you. >> thank you. >> next, he was a top aide, but eventually turned and took down a president. but no, i'm not talking about michael cohen tonight and breaking news and massive international manhunt for a new porous fugitive on the loose tonight, after daring and bloody escape, that all happen to be caught on camera with, flonase allergies don't have to be scary. >> spraying flow net's daily gives you long-lasting, non drowsy reliefs. flonase, all

cohen shoes as a key witness against one of those powerful men on the planet. >> and the similarities don't and they're tom foreman is out front this know brian. >> there is no prior two presidents denying they did anything wrong. people have got to know whether or not they're president is a crook. well, i'm not a crook. and to close aide saying that's not true, michael cohen, a key witness for the prosecution of donald trump and john dean, who helped take down richard nixon. i've had conversations with michael. i think we came to our courses through very different backgrounds and experiences. richard nixon was an establishment terrion. he believed in the institutions of government donald trump it has no real knowledge or understanding of the institutions of government. and he has no conscience either, both de, in who was a white house counsel during watergate in the early 19 and cohen who is trump's lawyer during the alleged events of the hush

money scandal, initially stood firmly by their president's. only when things started going when south and cohen admitted to crimes and went to jail, did he turn on trump? >> he is a conman and he's achieved now, cohen is testifying to how hush money payments were made, how records were falsified, and how he says trump told him to just do it. go untold out front from the get-go. it would be he tough facing his old boss. >> nobody wants to do this. this isn't fun. de and understands. he also admitted to a felony and he told the us senate of discussions with nixon about hush money for watergate conspirators amid fears pushback by the president's defenders process people can do for money, getting clean money, and things like that now, dean, watch his the fury around trump and wonders what will come after cohen's testimony is done and

the verdict derives the fact that somebody would turn around and go to extremes way beyond richard nixon is a little bit startling and a little bit troubling to me, still court in history watchers say both band represents a key figure in so many such cases the fixer the insider, the loyalist, who's not loyal anymore, when one of them flips that, threatens directly the power. and perhaps the freedom of the president involved that's why michael cohen or a john dean represents such an important part of the story of a corrupt president. >> it is important to remember nixon was never impeached, never charged with a crime, but he did resign and was pardoned, later, admitting he lied about the watergate affair and adding quote i let the american people
