times in america. there are real consequences for everyday americans. coming up, we'll explain why one form or trump political aide was forced to sell his home to pay his legal bills associated with his witch hunt. it is time to dismantle the deet state. hold people accountable for acts they have committeded and all te corrupt media accountable as eeey are happily cheering for president trump's political demise and completely ignoring an amazing list of accomplishments. we'll have all the latest media madness coming up on developments on the deputy attorney general, rod rosenstein's, efforts to obstruct republican members of congress from doing their job and getting to the bottom of the fisa abuse scandal. the fbi's mishandling of the clinton investigation into so much more. it is time for tonight's very important breaking news opening monologue. ♪ m service deep state that we have been warning about for a long time is going all out. this weekk, two separate major

leaks from robert mueller's off that rails political witch hunt are now revealing the special counsel's obsessive determination to such a perjury trap for president trump. "the new york times" released a list of questions that robert mueller allegedly wants donald trump to answer. these questions are all open-ended, in fact only, frankly, ridiculous and they are designed to trap the president into committing perjury. some of the questions target of the president's own thoughts. what does the president think aboutnt james comey? what is the president picked up for theey sessions were gives i what does the president think about the special counsel? let me get this straight. as robert mueller now the thought police? is it now illegal in thehe united states of america for a sitting president of united states to have private thoughts? according to "the washington post," robert mueller has not even threaten a president with a subpoena if he refuses to sit down for an interview. forget that robert mueller was tasked with investigating russian collusion. forget after 50 weeks, they have

found zero evidence of any wrongdoing by the president. this is now a political takedown of the person that you chose to lead this country. should we be surprised? well, this investigation is being conducted by some of the same people who were totally complicit in using hillary clinton's bought and paid for russian lies, you know, the unverified steele dossier, as actual evidence to obtain a fisa warrant to spy on an american, a trump campaign associate, and the lead up to an election. in other words, the fbi used democratic campaign material during an election, lied, and passed it off as legitimate evidence in order to get a fisa warrant from a fisa judge just by on the trump campaign. that dossier was never verified. neversi corroborated. it has now been debunked and literally, they never told the judge that hillary clinton andn the dnc, whose finances she wasr controlling, paid for it.

it is outrageous. this is theun united states of america. now remember, here is the who's who, if you will come of robert mueller, who he hired to lead the special counsel investigation. what do we see? a bunch of big-time democratic donors, including "the new york times" referred to as his pitbull, andrew weissmann. he's given thousands of dollars to democrats. remember, we have disclosed his very aggressive tactics. they have caused multiple overturns and wrongful convictions, countless lies at andersen accounting, maryland, elsewhere. let's not forget the trump-hating fbi lovebirds, peter strzok, he helped author hillary clinton's exoneration before overseeing the interviewh months later. of course, he was so blatantly biased, he was removed from the investigation of robert mueller. then you have robert mueller's other top deep state democrats, they remain today. just a few minutes, trump attorney, former new york new y mayor rudy giuliani will give us an exclusive interview to

discuss whether or not the president should ever agree to an interview with the band of trump-hating sycophants of hillary clinton. he will also break down the brand-new chargers and changes on trump's legal team, including tonight's breaking news. just hours ago, the white house announced that ty cobb will be retiring at the end of may and powerful longtime washington attorney emmet flood will join his legal team. we'll have more onga that in a minute. first, we have a shocking story to bring you, revealing the toll that this ongoing witch hunt is taking on real people who have real lives and frankly anyone who has ever worked with president trump or on his campaign. former trump campaign communication advisoror michael cavuto, he recently told a sentimental committee, their investigation has had a devastating financial impact on him and his family, forced him to sell his home because he's incurred over $100,000 in legal bills and during the closed-door session, cavuto told the senate committee, "what america needs is an investigation of the investigators. i want to know who is paying for

the spies work in coordinatingin this attack on president donald trump. i want to know who caused us so much money. who crushed our children, who forced us out of our homes, all because he lost an election. i want to know because ddu to hell. despite no evidence of collusion, after months and months of multiple investigation, you still have your mainstream media, they are pushing howard, almost in unison, their effort to aid and abet the deep state with its nonstop 24/7 obsessive, negative, russia, russia, stormy, stormy coverage. in the meantime, ignoring every major trump accomplishment. take a look at some of this week's coverage as an example. >> "the new york times" is out tonight with a list of 49 questions that special counsel robert mueller reportedly wants to ask president trump in the russia investigation, which means as of tonight, we've now

got a list of 49 things that robert mueller wants to know from the president about the russia investigation. >> you are saying the president goes into the situation room to get away from his staff -- >> i am told by one friend of the president, on more than one occasion, he has t been called y the president from the situation room. >> what this tells us is that the subject of collusion, despite what you hear from the white house, despite the fact the president 15 times a day tweets out and says there was no collusion, it tells us that robert mueller is not done with thee collusion questions. >> sources tell cnn president trump's lawyers are preparing for a showdown with robert mueller. that's over the special counsel's warning that he could issue a subpoena forcing the president to appear before a grand jury. >> the best argument is that the justice department cannot charge a sitting president. h he will not be a sitting president all hise life. one day, he will walk out there -- what a glorious day -- he will walk outside the 16 acres at 1600 pennsylvania avenue and he could be charged with a crime.

>> there is so much evidence in the public domain of collusion. we don't know if any of it rises to a criminal level but there is simply no question that the trump administration welcome directions help in sabotaging hillary clinton's campaign. >> that's why you need a deep state. it's why you need people whose commitment is not to the person, but to the process and the law. >> sean: we all forget about all of president trump's historic accomplishments, for example, on the korean peninsula, we are talking about denuclearization. forget about all thesebo developments. look at what the prime minister of israel died yesterday. there is a nuclear program in iran. a booming economy. record low unemployment in 14 states in the united states now. record low unemployment for women in the workplace, hispanics and african-americans, record lows. the media wants you to believe the white house is in shambles? not so. but you know better. and that is whyso according to a brand-new rasmussen poll, president trump has a higher

approval rating in his second year than formerhe president obama. by the way, you won't hear that in the mainstream media. instead, the chances are, you will see this guy, michael avenatti, the lawyer for stormy daniels. according to news busters, he was on fake news and cnn a whopping 59 times in less than two months. finally, we turn to the deputy attorney general rod rosenstein. as we speak, he continues to stonewall congressional efforts to do their jobbu and get to the bottom of multiple serious issues, including fisa abuse, spying on american citizens, not telling the truth to a fisa court, presenting political information, not telling the court, presenting unverified, uncorroborated information, paid for by hillary clinton, and the dnc. by a foreign national, lies from russia. oh,. i thought russian collusion and foreign nationals influencing our election was bad. earlier today, president trump

tweeted... breaking today, fox news has learned that some lawmakers still have not been given adequate access to the documents they have subpoenaed and been requesting to the house judiciary committee and house oversight committees. rod rosenstein, if you have nothing to hide regarding the departments fisa practices, why not release them? why not release other documents? what the american see it. if you have nothing to hide on the handling of the clinton investigation, hand over the documents. nothing to hide? on the russia collusion investigation? hillary paying christopher steele, funneling money through a law firm, rush and lies to manipulate the american people, to get a warrant to spy on a trunk and been associate? handed over. tonight, every single american

needst, to be asking just what s rod rosenstein hiding? okay, joining us now, the former mayor of new york city, the current president -- attorney for thern president, president trump, rudy giuliani isul with us. >> nice to be back, sean. >> sean: we have been through a lot together. i was here when you were mayor of course, and the city is still benefiting from you. >> thank you so much. that is so kind. >> sean: give us the status of the special counsel and what is going on with the president. >> the special counsel would like to get rid of the president, there is no secret. every lawyer in america thinks he shouldn't be. we, myself, jay sekulow, all the people involved in the investigation, and our new colleague, emmett, we will have to decide, probably -- because even the government side, whether the president should grant an interview. here's what it's all about. it's really simple. the american people can follow this along with me.

are the objective? are they? right now, a lot of things point in the direction of, they made up their mind that comey is telling the truth or not the president. when you lookre at those questis about whathe is the president think, what does the president feel, what what is the presidet really desire, those are all questions intended to trap him in some weight and contradicting what is in fact a very, very solidd explanation of what happened. he fired comey because it comey would not, among other things, say that he wasn't a target of the investigation. he's entitled to that. hillary clinton got that. he couldn't get that. so he fired him and he said, i'm free of the guy, and hee went on lester holt. lester h holt interview was as good as a anybody could do, betr than i think any of the people around mueller could have done, and lester holt asked them, why

did you do it? he said i did it because i felt that i had to explain to the american people the president was not the target of the investigation. and even jake tapper pushed him really hard, talking about comey. comey had no answer about why he didn't say this, even though he had in the same thing for hillary. you can't blame the president for feeling, i am not being treated the same way they were. i mean, i don't expect that we are going to have an interview with exoneration -- >> sean: already written. i have a lot of questions for you. >> i would like to get one, not under oath. i want a videotape, not videotaped, but audiotaped, i want to make sure they don't matter is answers. this is an outrageous miscarriage of justice. please consider whether you are republican or democrat, whether you hate president trump or you love him like we do, like i do do, -- >> sean: i think people know i am pretty supportive. i thinkm the secret is out of e

bag. >> [laughs] i want to let you off of the must be three. >> sean: full disclosure. rudy giuliani and i once had a meal together. >> [laughs] so you can't possibly not feel as its citizen of the world, tht has negotiations with north korea are much more significant than this totally garbage investigation. >> sean: let me ask you first about the legal team. >> good. >> sean: ty cobb, john dowd, they are out. my understanding is ty cobb had been saying for some time he was going to retire. >> ty cobb has been enormously helpful. he certainly helped me with my orientation. we wouldn't be where we are today, in a very strong position, if it wasn't for him and john. john has been my friend and colleague for 35 years. i have nothing but the utmost respect for john dowd. he had the right instincts about this, which is, you are going to get him to testify over my dead

body because you are trying to trap him. he had those instincts way back when it was harder to see those. so all that work didn't go for nothing. we got it all. jay has been the rock. he's been -- jay sekulow. he's been through this -- i coded could not do it without him. what i offer something unique. i'm a lawyer who knows the criminal justice system as well as anybody in america. i'm also a very good friend of donald trump. and i think i have the respect of mueller, the fbi, the justice department. >> sean: you showed. >> jeff sessions was my colleague. not just in the campaign but back in 1981, when he was u.s. attorney in alabama. i don't think i'm going to -- they know the decision i make is going to be the best interest, and a mattress of my client, but the united states. it's their objective, they can work something out. if not, we have to shake hands and basically go into a

litigation over do they have the power to subpoena and i think they lost that power. this is an atomic it completely dictated investigation. >> sean: explained. >> you have an investigation in which mueller is selected the day after he was turned down for fbi director by rosenstein who was b there when mueller was turned down. there are thousands of people that could have been selected for that job. also a friend off james comey, and james comey seems to be there for a fair investigation. he's telling the truth, the president isn't. i know james comey. i know the president. sorry, jim, you're a liar. a disgraceful liar. everya fbi agent in america has his head down because of you. it would have been good for god if godec had kept you out of beg head of the fbi. >> sean: explained where he lied. >> he lied about his conversation with mccabe. he knew all of mccabe's

conflicts. mccabe should testify against him. he lied about his conversations with the president. he only told the truth becausehe the president -- we know donald -- i'm sorry, mr. president, we knew donald before. he lied about the fact that they talked about whether the a subject or target, then he immediately changed it. it's one lie after another. >> sean: rod rosenstein -- everyone forgot when he wrote that recommendation to fire comey. he said the fbi cannot be reestablished if he stayed at thenono home. >> why? because he's a liar. his conduct of the hillary clinton investigation was a total disgrace.gr if hillary clinton had been elected president, he wouldn't have lasted past day one. we know she would have fired him. i don't think she would deny that today. she was right. we should have fired him. when i say we, i mean the collectively, day one.

>> sean: let's talk about -- >> let me say one more thing. this is the best president in my memory. even my hero, ronald reagan, he straight in the economy out the way president trump did. but he didn't get this far ahead on foreign policy as fast as president trump has. look at what is going on with north korea. i told the president, you will get the nobel peace prize. my proudest moment is when you tell him to shove it. sorry. [laughs] >> sean: no, this is cable. you are good here. let's talk about the leak questions. i have them here in front of me. what are your thoughts? what did you think about comey, sessions -- >> comey should be prosecuted for leaking confidential fbi information when he leaked his report intended to develop a special prosecutor for the president of the united states. i have never, ever turned over a

document -- you know me, sean, a lot of allegations, never leaked a thing. i would have considered resigning if i ever did that. or if one of my assistant stated. did the fbi leaked? to the sec leaked? i'm sorry, guys, you did. >> sean: let me ask you this. there are so many lawyers that i respect, that you know and respect, alan dershowitz, joe digenova, heavy hitters, gregg jarrett -- >> all my friends. >> sean: the president should never spend a minute --ai you sd it would be narrowly focused today and you said no more than two or threeee hours. do you believe robert mueller is setting a perjury trap for donald trump? >> i have to remain, and jay, and our team has to remain open-minded about this because even though you and i see a clear avenue to quickly resolving this for the macon

people, we may, and we know that our president will seek a resolution that gives him a clear path to getting it resolved. so i would say right now, the odds are, he wouldn't be interviewed. i don't close my mind to it. >> sean:d i -- when we are talking about -- this is really important. we are talking about a subpoena. and the subpoena means that the president of the united states -- i alwayss said they should have the hillary standard, at the hillary standard is really simple. not under oath, -- wait a minute. you have a guy who hates hillary and loves donald trumpp during the interview.la that would be the hillary standard. that's not going to happen with robert mueller. >> we are not going to get that way it we accept something less than that? yes. could we accept a situation in which they are telling us basically we believe comey, who

is now a pathological liar, as opposed to donald trump? the answer to that is no. >> sean: all right. i have been probably the most outspoken, lattice critic in the country besides the president, about robert mueller, and a team of democratic donors, no republicans. people say he's a republican and a veteran -- okay, i applaud him preserving his country. i mean that.ma andrew weissmann, tens of thousands of people lost their job at enron. 9-0 decision against -- against -- andrew weissmann. whosm gets 9-0? four merrill executives in jail for a year, all turned over, excoriated twice for withholding exculpatory evidence. that appointment alone, sir, tells me that this is a biased place. >> let me give you two different views of baba. what do i know about about that i could testify to under oath? a patriot. an extraordinarily good man.

>> sean: served his country. >> served his country. did a good job with the fbi. i don't think he would be affected by malice or prejudice. however, i don't have an explanation for the people that he hired, not all of them. i've dealt with him very briefly. i think they are processional. >> sean: weissmann? >> i did not deal with a much. >> sean: disturbed by his record? >> yet. he would probably be disturbed by mine,e, too. i have an open mind about bob. i don't about comey. i closed my mind against him. i know how much better and i have the indignity of having hired him for his first big drop. i'm embarrassed that i hired him. >> sean: let me go to a tweet by the president. he tweeted about john dowd.

mr. mayor, it's been going on, how many congressional investigations? this has been going on almost a full year. no evidence of drop-russia collusion. how did we end up from there to stormy daniels? >> i think this is being done behind mueller's back in a sense because they come to him with all kinds -- >> sean: he doesn't read a newspaper? >> self-serving statements. this has become a witch hunt like the president said. if you look at the questions that are being asked, they are travel questions. first year. prosecutor would do better than that. he's in very good hands. i don't just mean me. i mean jay and the whole team. ty cobb gets a great deal of credit. he orchestrated it. i'm looking forward to working with emmet flood, who handled the clinton situation -- >> sean: very well respected attorney. >> this is not a political guy. he said --

>> sean: a fire objective meaning mueller and his team, they would be foolish to do that. you also said there would be a decision to the next couple of weeks. >> i can't imagine it would be much longer. this coming to a head and there's not much more to think about. if they can get us in to a position where we can recommend to the president -- you know president trump. you know he wants -- >> sean: i do. >> if he doesn't, it is because jay and i and -- >> sean: others say no. >> if we stand up and say, we are lawyers, you got to listen to us, mr. president. i think. i'm there because i'm his friend. >> sean: i think your background as an attorney, all the years -- the president -- i agree with the president statement. i have been very open and saying this is a set up, this is a

subpoena, the state perjury trap, and let's walk through what if they issue a w subpoena. what if they decide not to talk, they sent him before a grand jury because it becomes tricky, as alan dershowitz has described on the show. if the president pleads the fifth, which he doesn't want to do, he said he doesn't want to doan, then they give him immuni, then what? >> okay. let's look at that. i think alan pointed this out last night on your show coming out in detail. if they issue a subpoena, that will be unprecedented in the sense that it's pretty clear that a president can't be subpoenaed to a criminal proceeding about him. why is that? fortunately -- maybe unfortunately -- we have the real life circumstance going on that the founding fathers thought about, which is a president cannot be distracted by a criminal investigation.

if you can always prosecute him after. they can get himse when he leavs the white house. you can always prosecute himte after. but i could not -- if mueller said to me tomorrow, bring him in, two hours, like you want, no questions you don't want, we are pretty much ready to clear him, i could not go to the president and say, take two days off to get ready for that and screw the whole thing with north korea. t i -- how can any american do that? he's our president! he is going to negotiate, i believe, a nonnuclear situation on the korean peninsula! >> sean: nobody thought about it. s >> you are going to interfere with that? that is why the founding fathers created this immunity from prosecution and subpoena. if it's a civil case, clinton submitted because of the civil case. >> sean: why not written

answers? >> which ronald reagan did. >> sean: why not that? >> they said no to w that. >> sean: so they want -- they will what? >> at this point i would not give them written answers because they will contradict them. i believe attorney general sessions, my good friend, and rosenstein, who i don't know, i believe they should come in the interest of justice, and thistti investigation. there's been too much government misconduct. the crimes have been committed by the government, and their agents, the lies by comey. >> sean: i will go through this in a minute. >> it's terrible. >> sean: what are the parameters that you would insist on for any interview with muellerr beyond 2-3 hours narrowing the scope? >> never beyond two or threeth hours. i am not going to have my client, my president, my friend,

i'm not going to let him be treated worse than bill clinton. he definitely was a liar under oath. not going to let him be -- she's being treated much worse than hillary clinton, who had no right to any of that stuff. i'm not going to let him be treated worse than hillary clinton. i think jay and i will insist that they will have to treat him the same way as clinton. two and half hours, we end, we walk out, give us your questionu in advance. he's ready to -- [laughs] >> sean: i know. i've interviewed him. >> if we weren't careful lawyers, we would just let him go. he's about -- i remember the debates that i prepared him for in part with chris christie, kellyanne conway -- >> sean: there's a real story behind that. >> did he execute? speed when he did. >> i saw him after every debate

and he got better and better. >> sean: you know, i've got to now talk about something that ig never thought i would talk about -- this is going to be a long-winded lead up to a question. i've been pointing out in this program 18 usc 793, mishandling classified information, the espionage act, destroying it.pp it would apply to a lot of people. i've talked about, if i was subpoenaed, allae my emails, i deleted 33,000, and then i acid washed myel hard drive, nobody heard of bleach but until hillary clinton, and then had an aid to bust up all my device, like she had happen, i never heard of an exoneration being written in may before you interview 17 key witnesses in the mean person, hillary clinton, and july, the person that is the interview hates the opponent of hillary clinton. then they exonerate her for i believe obvious felonies. then they talk about russia collusion, hillary clinton and

the dnc funneled money through a law firm, perkins coie, unbelievable to me, a foreign national who we heard wasn't supposed to be involved in our elections, christopher steele, gets russian sources, the fbi never bears verifies that, they presented to a fisa court to spy on american citizen, trump campaign associate weeks before an election, they never verified, they never corroborat corroborate, and they never told the judge in the original application, three subsequent applications, that hillary paid for it and they never verified at. mr. mayor, were laws broken? let start with hillary. >> yes! we go back three years with thi this. 13 crimes she committed. we got up to about 18. i'm sorry, hillary. i know you're disappointed you didn't win. but you're a criminal. equal justice would mean you should go to jail.

i do not know why the justice department is not investigating her. >> sean: james comey -- >> he fixed the whole case. >> sean: it was rigged. >> you can treat that stupid report he wrote, the beginning of his destruction at, and which he says we want to prosecute. "no reasonable prosecutor would indict her." no reasonable prosecutor wouldn't do it. >> sean: he said hillary deeply respects the rule of law. comey said that. >> wow. this is a very perverted man. i feel so sorry. >> sean: do we have a two tiered justice system in america? >> yeah, we have one for hillary and all those democrats, bill clinton -- >> sean: is equal justice under the law at risk? the good you and i have talked about this. i am very afraid, not just for our president, but for our country. it will be a witch hunt against republicans. you had the ban on who lost all

his money. for what reason? he didn't do anything wrong. the president of the united states didn't do anything wrong. we areyt lucky that we have a president who can focus. in a way, it almost hurts them because they feel they can do anything to him and he will remain focused on north korea, iran, what do we do is trying, how do we help israel, why do we do about taxes. >> sean: the economy has an incredible story then media nevr focuses on. i had to write this down. if we have the hillary standard, the interview would never be under oath, it would never be recorded, never transcribed, and by the way -- >> all the witnesses that are favorable to him would be in the room immunized. jared would be immunized, michael cohen would be immunized. >> sean: we would write the exoneration before the interview to destroyd agree digital evidence like they did was share of miles on hillary, and even you are rush limbaugh would do the interview. >> [laughs]

rush and i i would not object. >> sean: or mark levin. there is a political report basically suggesting that mueller would consider ivanka trump a target. look at hope hicks as one example. she has paid more in lawyers and she m was ever paid. >> hope is -- i wish the american people could get to know her. hope is one of the nicest human beings you will ever meet. yes, she's very loyal to donald trump, but i think the president would say this, she could stand up to him when she had to. what they did to her is outrageous, absolutely outrageous. ivanka trump? i think i would get on my charger and go right into -- run into their offices with a lance if they go after her. at this point -- >> sean: i honestly agree with you. i feel for the country. >> if they do do ivanka, which i

doubt they will come of the whole country will turn on him. they are going after his daughter? >> sean: what about his son-in-law? >> jared is a fine man, you know that. but men are, you know, disposable. a fine woman like ivanka, come on. >> sean: let's go through the different issues like we have brought up and spoke almost exclusively about on this show. example, you mentioned hillary clinton. she committed felonies, we know what they are, you identified to them. i believe as you do comey rake that. comey. look at peter strzok and page. they hate the president. they hated the candidate. they talked about an insurance policy. andrew mccabe lying under oath, james comey leaking for the purpose of getting a special counsel. >> also comey and mccabe contradicting each other. one of them has to be in line -- lying. i think comey is lying. i think he's a bigger liar than

mccabe. mccabe is a situational liar. he's a much bigger liar. so if this were equal system of justice, they'd all be prosecuted. >> sean: let me ask you, -- >> is my biggest regret -- i'm sorry, jeff, in not having taken that job. i wanted to be secretary -- >> sean: my biggestst regret and i like jeff sessions but he never should have recused himself.. >> heer never should have appointed rosenstein. >> sean: i've never heard of somebody being appointed or confirmed and recusing themselves the next day. >> sean: did you know that rosenstein was with mueller the day he was interviewed to be fbi director? worked out,nnd turned on, then p onto the next day. >> sean: did you know rod rosenstein according to reports we have, signed off on one of the fisa extensions, the one with the nonverified dossier as the bulk of information, as the

grassley graham memo says? he personally signed off? does that not conflict them out of all this? >> how about he's also a witness to critical information? for a justice department to pontificate, i told you, the only crimes committed here are by the government. >> sean: let me ask you about them. andrew mccabe said, without the dossier, there wouldn't have been a fisa application. i would ask you, because in the fbi, according to fisa, a law you're very familiar with, fbi protocol, mandate they verify, corroborate that they present to a fisa judge? is in that mandatory? wouldn't it be mandatory to identify that the dossier was created by an opposition party candidate and not as a political asterisk? >> >> absolutely. >> sean:ac is that a crime? >> yes. obstruction of justice.

invasion of people's privacy, on no basis at all.f as a civil rights violation. >> sean: unreasonable search and seizure. >> if they searched me, i would sue him for a violation. this is a justice department out of control. it breaks my heart, sean. i devoted most of my life to the justice department. i work for great attorney general. my friend, one of the greatest, and i watched it. my partner. great admiration for michael. to watch this happen under a man that i love, jeff sessions, i just feel bad. another president is heartbroken over this. it's not that he'sn angry, he's heartbroken. he never expected this from jeff. the two of them to redeem themselves, sessions and rosenstein, they should order the investigation over. >> sean: i don't think's going to happen. >> i don't think it's going to happen either but if they understood justice jackson's

admonition to prosecutors that i was led by, which we are not supposed to get convictions, we are supposed to do justice. >> sean: let me stay focused on the fisa is you for just a second. rod rosenstein, after they had to subpoena documents, went into paul ryan's office, begging him not to release it. had the newld've naz memo or the grassley graham memo that said the bulk of the application was the dossier hillary paid for. my question is this, not only that, there were three subsequent renewals with the same false information. the same lying by omission, if you will, by not telling the fisa judges that it -- that hillary paid for it. >> if i stand up in court at some point in the next three or four months, where i would really like to be, and i recite these facts, i think the judge would look at me and say, i don't believe that's true! how good the justice department have gone so far away from the

fair and honest administration of justice, these are decent people, but i think the pressures on them are so great, they caved in. once again, i say, there is one way to redeem themselves. o get control of this. you remember senator stevens' case? >> he lost an election and then the judge overturned at all because they withheld exculpatory evidence. >> because the government misconduct. more government misconduct in this case than there has been conduct. >> sean: are you concerned -- this was supposed to be about trump and russia collusion. >> gone. >> sean: never happened. >> he's been cleared. >> sean: my question is, are you concerned, and the process this, we did discover that a foreign national, christopher steele, was paid throughsi fusion gps, used russian sources that not only want verified, were debunked, are you concerned that that was paid for to manipulate the american people in the lead up to an election?

>> isn't that closer to the mandate that michael cohen? >> sean: where mueller on that, sir? >> having something to do with paying some stormy daniels woman 130,000? i mean, it's going to turn out to be perfectly legal. that money was not campaign money. sorry, i'm giving you a fact now you don't know. it's not campaign money. no campaign finance violation. >> sean: they funneled it through a law firm. >> funneled out through a law firm and the president repeated. >> sean: oh, i didn't know that he did. there is no campaign finance law. >> zero. just like every -- sean -- >> sean: mr. decision was made by -- >> everyone was nervous about n it. i wasn't. i knew how much money donald trump at into that campaign, 130,000 -- a couple of checks for 130,000. when i heard cohen's retainer of

35,000 when he was doing no work for the president. i said, that is how he is repaying -- he is repaying it, with a little profit and a little margin for paying taxes. >> sean: you know the president didn't know about thi this? i believe that's what -- >> he didn't know about the specifics of it as far as i know but he did know about the general arrangement that michael would take care of things like this. like i take care of things like this for my clients. i t don't burden them with every single thing that comes along. these are busy people. >> sean: what did you think of the raid on his office? >> [sigh] one of the reasons we would hesitate to cooperate any further, i think this is what the breakdownfu with dowd back n january, that took them by surprise. that's beyond anything -- that is an outrageous violation of attorney-client privilege, the toon beyond donald trump's

attorney-client privilege, a lot of innocent people. how about innocent people -- >> sean: regard to continue. i will talk to you about that would make come back. the mayor, the president's attorney when we come back. ♪ my name is jeff sheldon,

♪ >> sean: we continue our exclusive interview with president trump's attorney rudy giuliani. i want to report to the american people the truth. and when i talked about a rigged investigation on hillary and i talked about the crimes that she committed, and i interviewed you and other greatnd attorneys, ani talked about fisa abuses, and the fisa judge, a two to your dresser system, equal justice under the law, have i been wrong? at all? tell me. >> w god, you are right way back -- was at 2016, when we first started focusing on that big chart i made? i still have it on my cell phone. >> >> sean: i'll bring it up tomorrow. >> they still haven't investigated it. you're not wrong.

>> sean: russia collusion is wrongha with donald trump. >> russian collusion is a total fake news. unfortunately, it has become the basis of the investigation. mueller owes us a report saying the russian collusion means nothing, didn't happen. the whole investigation was totally unnecessary. whether it was the person all things are the political things, none of it is relevant. meanwhile, the man is trying to deal with north korea -- >> sean: denuclearization of the korean peninsula. >> they want him to say get ready for the -- >> sean: things have gotten personal for those after the president? >> of course, totally personal. look at the whole press corps. look at the correspondents dinner. >> sean: this was a short segment. we s have to take a break. it was horrible. going after sarah huckabee.

>> slaughtering embryos? >> sean: more with rudy giuliani. longer segment. i promise. straight ahead.

the closer you get to home, the more you know the commute is worth it. you and that john deere tractor... you can keep dreaming up projects all the way home. it's a longer drive. but just like a john deere, it's worth it.

>> >> sean: as we continue with president trump's attorney, former new york city mayor, rudy giuliani pretty want to clarify something about perkins coie, you said the money was not campaign money, and giving you a fact you don't know, not campaign money, no campaign violation, and i said because they funneled through a law firm. i think we were talking about two different things. >> i was talking aboututer the $130,000 settlement payment, a very regular thing for lawyers to do. the question there was, the only possible violation would be, was

it a campaign finance violation? usually results in a fine, by the way, not this big stormtroopers coming in and breaking down his a apartment. that was money that was paid by his lawyer, the way i would do come out of his law firm fund, whatever fund, doesn't matter, the president. reappeared dumb agree inverse dead -- reimbursed at. >> sean: i distinctly remember that he did it on his own without asking. >>w, h i haven't asked that. no reason to dispute or recollection. i like michael a lot, you like michael. i feel very bad he's been victimized by the fact is, trust me. they will come up with no violations. >> sean: okay. >> payments are perfectly legal. >> sean: let me go back to the main crux, all documents, let me go back to the main crux, the crux is that we have a two tiered justice system. the president is right when he

says which on? >> yeah, sure. can't explain it any other way. first of all, there never should have been an investigation. there was no russian collusion. we are now a year and a half, two years into this, no russian collusion, case over. falling all over themselves to investigate him, they have committed numerous violations, including lies, criminal deception, outrageous search warrants, like the one on michael cohen. how we go back to paul manafort? breaking into his house. >> sean: nothing to do with russia. >> what is he, a drug dealer? >> sean: how does this end? >> what they did a paul manafort i usually do to the mafia. >> sean: drug dealers, mafia members -- >> and killers. >> sean: how do you see this ending? youu have talked to mueller. >> you know -- they will read a

report, they cannot indict him. i don't believe they can subpoena him. they have to write a report, if we get interviewed, they'll write the report based on the interview. they won't write it before, like hillary got, because he's not a specialth person. >> sean:e this election in 2018 going to be a referendum onct donald trump? >> i want to look at the american people say the following. do you want to vote for impeachment? you want to impeach a president? you want to have nancy pelosi running the house of representatives? forget it. >> sean: mr. mayor, thank you for being with us. >> sean, you are a patriot. >> sean: march more "hannity" r the break. the aisle - without g any conversations- -or paying any upcharges.
