michael cohen wants to say. i'm sure he's interest in any type of cohen testimony, but remember i don't think hee can actually do anything between now sas a bit forced, but that's what he was criticized for. i think in all likelihood it goesz beyond the investigation. >> is there a fatigue factor as people continue to hear about it? >> yeah. i've talked to some independent voters and they say they're kind of tired of the russia thing. however, they're bad headlines for trump. he wants to talk about the economy and the supreme court nominee. how much they talk about russia post labor day on the campaign trail. >> the big question, i'm sure, what will stick, and there are question on both sides of the aisle. tomorrow morning on "face the nation" right here on cbs margaret brennan's guests will include president trump's personal attorney rudy giuliani. time to show you some of this morning's headlines.
