1:03 pm
daniels, ahead of the 2016 election so what's next well, a lengthy trial. trump's former attorney and key witness the mastication, michael cohen, is expected t testify. but cohen has been plagued wit credibility issues after pleading guilty in 2018 -- covered in this very case. but before district attorney brag pursue this histori indictment, yet a presen assessor former manhattan distric attorney cy vance, who was investigating his payments a well vance met with cohen at leas eight times -- 2021 here is what the forme district attorney told m colleague, jen psaki, abou whether he would be comfortabl bringing cohen in front of a grand jury >> the issue is not whether would be comfortable the issue is whether the offic today is going to be comfortable. it appears that they absolutel are. as i've said, i think earlie today, obviously mr. cohen as witness will be attacked
1:04 pm
he will be cross examined on his prior statements and his prior guilty plea. but that doesn't mean mr. cohe is not a witness who can't b believed i have tried many cases with witnesses with likely criminal records. and as long as there i evidence to support what h says, then juries, as they wil be instructed by the court, ar absolutely free to believe a witness, whether he or she has a criminal record or any other problem. >> here to respond is th attorney from michael cohen, lanny davis. good to see you, mr. davis you heard the former distric attorney's comments are just now. would you like to respond? >> yes i know mr. vance has a great deal of respect -- right on for leaving - in organized crime prosecutions, they only witnes against the mobs will be someone who has killed people. but i don't think that is th
1:05 pm
real answer about michae cohen's credibility. let me give you a fact that is the best answer. the first is that michael cohe said before an obvious defense of millions in public, what did for donald trump and dirty deeds for ten years, i lied, i cheated and i did everything dirty for him. and then i decided, on july 2nd, 2018, to own what i did. i am ashamed of myself and now i want to speak trut to power and i want to put my family an my country first it is very rare for a witnes who has a lot of flaws, ha owned all that he has done inside from this point on will cooperate wit authorities. so seven congressional committees, grand jury testimony -- this is the real answer to credibility. >> what i hear you giving us i a forceful defense of mr cohen's credibility. so do you think, at this point it is unfounded for folks to question his credibility >> no. certainly not.
1:06 pm
he did, he is the one harshest on himself, simone he says i am ashamed of myself i apologize. i am not going to defend myself, -- 40s for ten years. he said that in front of ten of millions of people on liv television so there is no denying that he was a liar and a cheat and did a lot of terrible things in th name of, and the instruction of, donald trump, according to federal prosecutors. that includes the hush money payment, federal prosecutors said donald trump directed him to do that now he went to jail for doin that and this was a terrible crime. they themselves described it a a campaign finance violation that mike pence hypocritically diminishes federal prosecutors have say that this is a crime tha imperils our democracy so when the republicans ar trying to politicize this by saying this is a political trial, you know who they are arguing with federal prosecutors in the trump administration
1:07 pm
they said this crime of hush money is a serious crime tha imperils our democracy so every time you hear - >> this is not a federal cas at this point. i don't necessarily, i don't disagree with you -- >> excuse me for interruptin you. it is exactly the same crime with the same facts. one is a federal crime the other is a state crime and that is an issue they will tell you about when th indictment is unsealed but it is the same facts and the federal prosecutor said this crime, whether it is state or federal, impairs ou democracy, if you pay somebody not to disclose information, than the american people are entitled to know >> so has mr. cohen then bee asked to corroborate evidenc of any additional payments o potential crimes that were not previously public knowledge? >> yes and there is a second crim that he pled guilty to and that is a crime that involved a national enquirer paying -
1:08 pm
$150, 000, mr. pecker received immunity by admitting he did that and this was in return for donald trump's commitment to repay that money michael cohen pled guilty to that crime, because he did the paperwork. so he was charged by the - district prosecutors for the two crimes and again, i just want t reiterate, these are serious crimes they are not just campaign finance violations it is called hush money to deprive the american people of whether it is karen mcdougal and donald trump directly with mr. pecker, and michael to the paperwork. but they are two crimes that a far as i know, at least on will be charged. the karen mcdougal crime tha michael pled guilty to, he wen to jewel in part for, we don't know whether this will be crime separately charged in th indictment >> all right lanny davis ladies and gentlemen, with a forceful and fiery defense o his client we will wait to see what these charges are on tuesday i am joined now by congressman benny thompson he is a democrat fro
1:09 pm
mississippi. congressman thompson, was th chair of the january 6th selec committee, and he is currently the ranking member of th homeland security committee. chairman thompson, look, a overwhelming number of republican elected officials i this country, they really seem to be arguing that the simpl act of declaring once candidac for president actually exclude that person from being hel accountable by the crimina justice system what is your response to that? >> - no one is above the law. not even someone running for president of the united states the real danger is, i am hearing the same kind of rhetoric that created januar 6th right now, with th impending indictment of donald trump. i'm hearing lindsey graham say we should -- get cops in the face, i'
1:10 pm
hearing marjorie taylor greene saying it being in new york on tuesday to rally the troop against this injustice all of that kind of rhetoric created -- on january 6th, and for some strange reason the republicans and congress don't get it. we had over 140 law enforcemen in the building her. we had five people lost thei lives. this kind of blanket - is very very dangerous because there are some peopl out here who shake them at their word >> so congressman, it is now reported that donald trump plans to address his supporter tuesday evening. i don't know who will be covering the address live, wha network, but he does plan to address the supporters does that rhetoric concern you are you concerned that tha
1:11 pm
particular speech could in fac incite violence? >> well, there is no questio about it he is doing it, he i fundraising all for it, for my understanding, he has raised over $4 million since -- the upcoming indictment. but the real concern is ou separation of powers is bein tested in this moment, simpl because we are now, thes numbers of - republican members, are no going after a state official who is doing his official duty >> congressman, along thos lines, i want to play some sound for you. this is from judiciary committee jim jordan, he - oversight committee chair jame comer, they are abusing thei investigated power, one coul argue to intimidate alvin bragg, and to investigators
1:12 pm
investigation. this is what jim jordan said this morning >> overall, it is ridiculous first of all, mr. bragg ha conceded that he used federa funds. we knew this grew out of the federal, the special counsel investigation, which is federa statute, and most importantl involves a federal election. here we are, as you indicate he is four months away from th debate in the primaries for th election, the most important office we have, president of the united states. and so it is ridiculous -- >> do you think congressman ji jordan's argument holds weight there? he is saying, he is usin federal dollars, that is wha gives his committee the licens to investigate >> your response >> my response is he i obstructing justice. by interfering with the -- of an elected state official clearly he is doing it at th behest of donald trump he is trying to create the illusion that what thi district attorney is doing i
1:13 pm
not in his purview as district attorney that is crazy. if this became the standar with the hundreds of distric attorneys we have in the country, now we have relegated ourselves to telling them what they should and should not do, the grand jury process is process that is sacred, is a process that is privatized i terms of the information and w have to respect that process - to now assume that a distric attorney can't do their job, simply because of former president is the perso potentially tasked wit violating the law. he is not above the law. and -- >> - i want to switch, congressman, if i can, i would like t switch gears because there were deadl tornadoes that tore throug your home state of mississippi

1:51 pm
a parent does have jurisdictio over their child that's the part we're lookin to protect as, apparent that parent, make no mistake about, it tha parent has every right to be able to take their child acros the state. washington and oregon and they can take their child there t get an abortion. they can see their authority t their grandparents to go get an abortion. short of having parents consent, you can't take the child acros the line to get an abortion. >> when you are crafting this, bill did you consider an scenarios where the parent i the reason that the minor is pregnant the parent was aware of th boost that was happening to th young person didn't do anything about it. they then cannot get - they're not going to giv consent for an abortion. >> thank, you yes, we did. as, you know idaho already had
