michael cohen, secretly record add conversation with the president about possibly giving a former playboy model hush money two months before the 2016 election. that's what a source familiar with the investigation tells fox news. i'm rick leventhal in for shepard smith. "the new york times" broke the story. fox news has confirmed president trump and cohen discussed making payments to model karen mcdougal who claims she had an affair with the president in 2006. president trump denies the relationship. the president's attorney, rudy guliani, says the payment never happened. fbi agents seized the recording when they raided cohen's office in new york city. the feds are looking to her involvement in paying women to keep quiet about alleged relationships with mr. trump leading up to the election and whether that violated campaign finance laws. cohen admits paying stormy daniels $130,000 in exchange for her silence. daniels claims she had sex with

the president a decade before he took office. president trump denies it. laura ingle is live near bedminster, new jersey where president trump is heading to spend a weekend at his golf club. laura? >> hi, rick. sources tell fox news, a payment was discussed but never made between then candidate trump or michael cohen. this is in 2016. the call about this payment, the back and forth, was recorded by michael cohen. he secretly made a tape without his client's knowledge. mr. trump didn't know about it. the call lasted two minutes and stored by cohen in his home, office or apartment. the woman cohen and trump were talking about is karen mcdougal that claimed she had a nearly year-long affair with president trump in 2006. she's kept quiet about her alleged affair until april after

she won a lawsuit to break her nondisclosure agreement. she sold her story for $150,000 years ago that did what is called a catch and kill. they get the story and don't publish it. president trump's personal attorney, rudy gulianis has told "the new york times" there's a tape. he acknowledges that he says the president has done nothing wrong. >> so laura, what is next for michael cohen? >> yeah, we have been following this closely. cohen is under federal investigation. he's not been charged with any crime. we've reached out to cohen and his legal team. no word from the president on this developing story. he said this about the raid on cohen last month. >> could you imagine if they burst into barack obama's lawyer's office? it would not be acceptable. >> last night the special mastner the federal case, which is going through all the

documents that were seized at michael cohen's home, apartment and office filed a report with the court stating some of the documents will be privileged. over 1,000 in the raid. there's a lot more that won't be privileged. no word on which category this audio tape falls into, rick. >> thanks, laura. caroline is here. she's a federal and white collar criminal defense attorney. i have so many questions. first and foremost, is the president at risk here? >> potentially. as laura reference there, the legal issue isn't so much the hush money pay-off or a confidentiality or a catch and kill practice on the part of ami, which is the parent company of the national inquirer. the payment they're talking about was never made. never was paid. but the issue goes to a campaign finance law violation and, you know, it could be a bigger issue

in terms of a pattern or practice. that's where the stormy daniels payment comes in as well. $130,000, that's a slap on the wrist violation of campaign finance laws. if there's more woman out there, greater amounts of money out there, this could get to be criminal. >> why would michael cohen regard this conversation in the first place? >> we're all asking ourselves that question. you know, i as an attorney have never recorded a call with a client. it's just not something that you do if you're not worried about something or trying to cover yourself, really. so i think there's a real question there as to why this was a practice on the part of michael cohen and a real question of what else is out there. it's likely he didn't record this one time. there's more out there. >> it's legal in new york for him to record, even if the person doesn't know it? >> it is. it's a single party consent state. one party needs to consent.

>> what about attorney client privilege? >> this information is now part of that larger federal criminal investigation going on in the southern district of new york. a special master has been appointed to decide what information would be privileged. we don't know whether or not this is falling under that category. off the top of my head, yes, it would be attorney client privilege information but there's such a thing as the crime broad exception meaning if this could be shown in furtherance of a crime, then you wouldn't have that privilege. >> what i don't understand, why do we know about it? how do we know about it? >> i don't know. that's a very good question. as it stands now, you know, you referenced -- it's under seal -- >> it's evidence in a case? >> it's seized evidence as part of the april 9th raid on the part of michael cohen's raid. they seized everything that

could be incriminating. it's being culled through. we're still in the beginning phases. michael cohen has not been charged yet. so if he were to embark on a cooperation agreement with federal authorities, now is the time to do it. >> i want to talk about michael cohen and his close relationship with the president. he told vanity fair in september of last year, i'm the guy that stops the leaks. i'm the guy that protects the president and the family. i'm the guy that would take a bullet for the president. >> right. we've seen a reinvention of michael cohen the past couple weeks. michael cohen 2.0. he's taken a 180. he did that interview that's gotten a lot of press saying that. he's no longer the sack official lamb here for president trump. he's not the fall guy here. >> he talked to abc. he told george stephanopoulos my wife, my daughter and my son have my first loyalty and always will. i put family and country first.

>> he got a new attorney, a former prosecutor. it's no secret when you get a former prosecutor with a prosecuting office looking to prosecute you is looking for a deal. so now it looks like he's going to put his own interests above trumps at this point. >> to be clear, the big potential issue is election law. the finance law? explain that. >> the question is whether or not the hush money pay off was for political purposes. if that was a loan to the campaign, that's one issue. the disclosure issue is another. the campaign didn't disclose this was a campaign expenditure, that could be criminal. now, there's -- >> criminal for whom? the president? >> the president. depends on his level of knowledge. for the president, for the organization. remember, you have to reference john edwards. there was a failed criminal prosecution of john edwards for criminal campaign violations. it has to get to a level of

knowing. could be a civil violation. >> on this recording, the president's attorney, rudy guliani, says to michael cohen you should write a check so there would be a record of it. his attorney, rudy guliani, suggested that the president is okay on this matter. >> guliani is trying to make lemonade out of lemons here. saying this is quite exculpatory. yes, i think that is a good point on the part of the president, that he wanted it papered up because checks, check stubs can be subpoenaed. there's a record there. a paper trail there. you know, he's making the point that the payment was never made. it's questionable at what point in the story line this potential payment we're talking about was made and i think it's after that

$150,000 payment to karen mcdougal. there's a lot of questions whether cohen colluding with ami on that payment. so many issues. >> and if he recorded this call, most likely recording other calls. the question is what is on the other recordings, which we don't know. >> and to the question of cooperation and michael cohen. they already have the recordings. it's not as if -- the ball is in michael cohen's point at this point. whatever recordings he made, the federal government has. >> thanks, caroline. >> thanks for having me. >> appreciate it. president trump inviting russian president vladimir putin to the white house this fall even as criticism continues of the first formal get together. the white house says john bolten is working out the details. the president's chief was caught off guard when he heard the news. >> breaking news. the white house announced on twitter that vladimir putin is

coming to the white house in the fall. >> say again. [laughter] >> vladimir putin come -- >> did i hear you? >> yeah, yeah. >> okay. that's going to be special. >> some lawmakers say there should not be a one-on-one meeting since the two leaders. kevin corke is live at the white house. kevin? >> good to be with you. as you pointed out, trump-putin 2. could be coming to a white house near you. this very white house this fall. that is depending on the details on both sides. it would be putin's first visit here since 2005 if it does take place. this is something that the president and the white house continues to push forward. they say this is something at least possibly that could advance the agenda of the american people. a visit, by the way, the

president also insists will not reduce pressure that his administration is placing on moscow. >> i have been far tougher on russia than any president in many years, maybe ever. even the big fight i have with germany over the fact that they're taking natural gas, taking energy from russia. paying them billions of dollars. look at the sanctions i've put on. look at the diplomats i threw out. look at all of the things i've done and nobody else did what i've done. obama didn't do it. >> moscow released new videos of weapons systems that the u.s. can't defend. >> kevin, the president getting push back on capitol hill. >> no question about that. a number of democrats obviously rejecting this idea of a

possible summit in washington. nancy pelosi within the hour, the democrat from california, said this in a statement. president trump's frightened fawning over putin is an embarrassment and a grave threat to our democracy. she's not the only one on the left side of the aisle coming out about the president. take you to twitter. chuck schumer said this. "until we know what happened in that two-hour meeting in helsinki, the president should have no more one-on-one interactions with putin and the u.s. and russia or anywhere else." while some on the right are calling this a chance to keep that conversation going, not everybody, rick, on the gop side is on board with a possible summit in washington. check out will hurd from texas. he said the leader of the free world participated in a russian disinformation campaign that weakened the credibility of the united states to our friends and foes abroad. tough words there.

>> now more on president trump planning a second summit with vladimir putin. this time at the white house. let's bring in gregory cordy for

"usa today." he covered the helsinki summit and the british prime minister. thanks for being with us here today, sir. >> absolutely. >> the president has been criticized often since taking office. we've never seen anything like this, especially criticism from his own party. we're wondering if you think this new invitation will her or help? >> newt gingrich who is a friend of the president called at this time biggest mistake of his presidency monday. the timing of this announcement that president trump is ready to go into another meeting with vladimir putin suggested one of two things. could be that the president feels like the summit in helsinki went so well that he wants to do it again and to sort of defy his critics and his skeptics in the democratic party and the media and should be said some in the republican party, or, you know, it could be a

do-over. a chance to do the helsinki summit all over again and say the things that he neglected to say that he's been criticized for. >> what would that involve? what would this do-over be, gregory? what would he do? >> well, first of all, in helsinki, he seemed to take putin's side on who he believed, his own intelligence agencies or vladimir putin about russia's meddling in the 2016 election. there's another broad range of issues they didn't get to because they were so focused on this question of russian interference that they didn't talk much about nuclear nonproliferation. president trump didn't mention crimea or the ukraine at all. those issues could get more chance to breathe if the president can somehow put to bed these issues swirling around the mueller investigation and possible collusion with russia. >> gregory, the morning the president said he's been tougher on russia than my president

maybe ever and called former president obama a patsy when it came to russia. >> it depends on whether you consider the soviet union to be russia. from kennedy to reagan in the cold war, we had presidents that were very tough on the soviet union. yes, the president said it many times. that he's far tougher. he's expelled a number of russian diplomats, some expected of being spies. he has enforced the sanctions that were forced on him by congress and first imposed by president obama. that is the president's argument. >> the president says close relations are a good thing but this is complicated. >> yeah, it is. a white house visit is different from meeting at a neutral third country like finland. it suggested a warmth in u.s. russian relations that is --

might not be where we are post 2014 when russia annexed cree -- crimea from ukraine. so having russia back at the white house would be an answer. >> thanks, gregory. >> absolutely. >> so russian meddling is the first of a threat to u.s. democracy. mike pompeo giving an update on negotiations with north korea and a russia summit and a second meeting with putin. that is next. ask a business advisor how to get on demand tech support for as little as $15 a month. right now, buy one hp ink and get a second at 30% off at office depot officemax

on russia even though he was at the united nations to talk about north korea. secretary pompeo giving the u.n. on nuclear talks with pyongyang. reporters asked him about president trump and inviting putin to the white house in the fall. rich edson is live in new york city. rich, secretary pompeo says he's on board for another summit with putin. >> rick, he does say that even as senior administration officials including director of national intelligence say they're not sure what went on between president trump and president putin in their meeting in helsinki. the secretary state was asked about all of this and pointed to a number of differences that remain between the two countries, the u.s. and russia are at odds over ukraine, election meddling, north korea. he says there's plenty to talk about. >> it is incredibly valuable to the people of the united states of america, the president, putin and president trump, continue to engage in dialogue to resolve the difficult issues that our

countries face. this makes enormous sense and i'm very hopeful that that meeting will take place this fall. >> the secretary says that as he traveled up here to new york and the u.n. to specifically address north korea. >> rick: that's about north korea cheating on sanctions? >> yes. according to the administration, north korea is cheating on sanctions. they're receiving smuggled cole and petroleum products and china and russia are blocking a u.s. security council measure that would penalize north korea for that. they say they're benefitting from the items and guest workers in other countries. the secretary and the ambassador say that essentially when you're allowing north korea to do this, when you're no penalizing them for circumventing the negotiations, you're making it more difficult for him to get

rid of the weapons. >> we can't do one thing until we see north korea respond to their promise to denuclearize. we have to see some sort of action. until that action happens, the security council will hold tight, the international community will hold tight as we go forward. the problem that we're encountering is that some of our friends have decided they want to go around the rules. >> right before this meeting and right after the helsinki summit, president trump mentioned that russian president vladimir putin agreed to help the united states and the world community on north korea. here today at the united nations, the trump administration was instead calling out russia for their failure to act. rick? >> rick: welcome back to new york city, rich. >> thank you. >> rick: russia's effort to influence the 2016 presidential campaign is one tree in a growing forest.

that worry from rod rosenstein. he's overseeing the investigation into russian election meddling and spoke at a national security forum in aspen. >> russian intelligence officers did not stumble on the idea of hacking american computers and posting misleading messages because they had a free afternoon. it's what they do every day. >> catherine herridge is at that conference in aspen which is making a lot of news, catherine. >> for sure. thanks. the deputy attorney general described the cyber threat as persistent and aggressive and made the case that the justice department has a public responsibility to alert the public to all the bad actors working in the space. russian, china, iran, terrorist groups. so when they're looking at information, analyzing information, they have got some tools. they're armored so they can understand what in fact is

credible. >> public attribution, foreign influence campaigns can help mitigate the harm caused by foreign sponsor misinformation. when team are aware of the sponsor, they can make better decisions. >> the newly-released justice department report lays out the key elements of the foreign systems that are targeting the u.s. they include attacking voting infrastructure so voting machines and the software associated with voting, also helping politicians damage their opponents think of hacking the dnc and the clinton e-mail campaigns spreading false information and unlawful efforts on behalf of their country. the deputy attorney general defended the indictment of the russian military officers that are from a group called the gru. he said look, may be right now that vladimir putin won't

extradite them to the u.s. for prosecution but putin will not be in power forever. >> for one thing, the defendant's may some day face trial. if there's a change in their government or if they visit a nation that cooperates with america and enforcing the rule of law, there's plenty of people that thought they were safely under the protection of foreign governments when they committed crimes against america but they later find themselves in american prisons. >> the big headlines out of the conference is that russian is an aggressive actor but the one that poses the most threat to the united states is in fact china, rick. >> rick: and the national intelligence director dan coats making news there as well, right? >> that's right. he made a number of headlines about the president's comments in helsinki but he also talked about the cyber threat and sort of this host of bad actors. iran, china, north korea, terrorist groups, russia. they use cyber to level the playing field because they don't have a military or economic

advantage over the united states. dni coats said there's really bad worst case scenarios and they include taking down the power grid or paralyzing the financial markets. >> i'm concerned about a cyber 9-11. let's say you shut down wall street for a week what does that do to world markets? what about an attack on the electric grid in new england? there's people playing this game of chess with us. they want to take us down and we have to be better than them. >> the big idea to take away from this conference, something called a multi-domain warfare. that means that you can take a conventional attack and amplify the impact by using cyber in that equation, rick. >> rick: catherine herridge in a beautiful aspen, colorado. thanks very much. the british man that was exposed to a poison agent is out of the

bringing the number killed to 17. >> kids were on there and babies. >> oh, my god. oh, my god. >> it's going under. >> rick: that was the last we see of the boat in that footage. this footage is from moments earlier shows the boat fighting through winds and waves. people on a nearby dinner cruise caught this on camera. one passenger said he and others sprang into action when they saw a woman floating in the water. >> we were on the second level, helping other passengers that jumped in the lake to help save her and other staff members that went in the water. we did pull her up on to the boat. she was unconscious. i was about ready to start cpr and the emt did show up. >> rick: mike tobin is live in

branson near the scene of this tragedy. mike, what more have you learned? >> well, sadly, rick, we know there were kids on board. the age ranges of the victims are between 1 year old and 7 years old. one family of 11 on board. they lost nine members. only 14 people survived. less than half of the 31 people that signed up for this quick sightseeing tour on a boat. the sheriff from stone county, missouri said there were life vests on board. they don't know if they were used. the boat capsized in 40 feet of water. it landed wheels down in the bottom of the lake and rolled into 80 feet of water. the ntsb will be charged with recovery. >> rick: and what are you hearing about who might be to blame for this? >> a lot of information going around that this was a fast-moving freak storm that moved in on a boat that was

designed in the 1940s. the severe thunderstorm warning came 26 minutes or a half hour ahead of the boat capsizing. the boats are only on the board nearly 20 minutes. jim patterson, the one that owns the duck boat touring company said clearly given the outcome, the boats shouldn't have been on the water. rick? >> thanks, mike. this duck boat had a canopy. something that federal investigators warned about after a similar incident 20 years ago in hot springs, arkansas. investigators say they found four victims pinned inside the canopy of the boat. analysts say the canopies are like roofs on the boat. they can trap the people. one worker that has worked on cases against the duck boat company says escaping is like

getting out of an airplane. governor mike parsons is with us. our condolences to the families and the friends grieving. you spoke to them. i can't imagine the stories that you heard and the pain they're experiencing now. >> you know, there's no doubt to have to visit a family under those circumstances, your heart goes out to them and for the circumstances they've been through and the one particular family i had a chance to visit to the aunt and 13-year-old boy. when they lost nine members of the 11 of the family, it's a heart ache and our prayers and thoughts go out with the families right now. it's a tough healing time for all of us. >> governor what have you learned about the incident itself? >> you know what? unfortunately everything happened so quick and still under investigation. there's people on the federal level coming in today that will start helping with the investigation from the state

authorities, the highway patrols being on scene all night long. we had divers in the water all night long working tremendous hours, trying on the recovery efforts. there's more to come out. it's going to take time to get the details and see where the investigation goes. >> it has to be heart breaking to hear this discussion about how this might have been prevented, how the feds were already looking at the boats and the canopies and the dangers of the canopies. >> right. you know, missouri, this part of the state of missouri where we're at is so based on family values and family vacations. when people come here, we want them to enjoy the state of missouri. unfortunately, this is a tragic accident. you know, whether they're safe or not is something that we'll determine in the future and we'll look at that to make sure we protect citizens when they utilize those vehicles or they come to missouri to come on our lakes. >> governor, 14 people survived this accident. any clue what made the

difference for them? >> you know, i will tell you for sure, some of the people i talked to today pulled some of those out of the water. it was everyday people doing the right thing by trying to help another person in that situation. it just makes your heart go out to the people that were willing to risk their own lives to take that risk to help someone else. there's going to be a lot of heros involved in this story, people that took it upon themselves to pull people out of the water and save lives. that's the good side of this, of what occurred for a tragic situation. >> rick: governor, it's early in all of this, but what can you do and what do you hope to do in the days ahead? >> you know, my job is really to just comfort these people, make sure that they know that missouri will support by whatever means that we can to make sure to shore support for this community, for the rescue workers, for the people involved and really for the families.

there's six different states involved in this tragedy that people came from. we want to make sure and reach out to them to stay in contact with them and to help them as much as we can to get through this tragedy. >> missouri governor mike parson. let us know if there's anything that our viewers can do and we can do to help. all the best to you, sir. >> right now we can use your prayers and thoughts and for the people, the victims of this and for our state and for all the victims here through the other states. >> rick: again, mike parson. thanks very much. president trump is on his way to his golf home in new jersey. before he left the white house, he was asked by reporters about michael cohen. that is on tape. we will play it for you as soon as we turn it around. you're looking at air force one that will be taking off. we have video of the president leaving the white house, speaking to reporters on marine
