also has an extensive criminal history. less than a month afterum president s historic summit with kim jong-un, there are concerns now that north korea may b actuall ramping up its nuclear efforts. icltiple u.s. ols tell nbc news that the north is actually trying to deceive our count about its program. that's despite the president saying north korea had no longer posed a threat. joing us with a closer look at that is nbc news intelligence and national security reporter n delaney. the president left singapore without a timeline for denuclearization or how it could be verified, and a recent report suggested that the president might actually be meeting with kim in new york, is that right? te a report from axios suggesting that wouse officials are so hopeful about the progress made out of that summit that they may have a second meeting with president trump and kim jong-un around the united nations general assembly gathering ier septe in new york city, but that seems to fly in the face of this new
5:35 pm
intelligence that we've learned about at nbc news confirmed by "the washington post" which says that north korea is actually enriching nuclear fuel at multiple secret sites and tha ey have -- they are working to deceive the united states and the trump administration about that. also about the number of nuclear weapons they possess and the number of missiles. these are the findings of the u.s. intelligence community. the good ns is that u.s. intelligence has more insights into north korean nuclear program than wey have previou seen, but bad news is that it doesn't feel like the north oreans are acting in goo faith. they have taken no steps to denuclearize and athere'so evidence, public evidence and public satellite photos that show they have been working on missile plan and expanding their main nuclear facility at yongbyon. none of this supports the president's optimistic view of te situation. jim. t didn't last long. on a different topic, the president's former personalel attorney mic cohen is talking now. what's your takeaway from his interview with a?
5:36 pm
is h trying to send the president a message? >> reporter: that's one way to look at it, jim. he's essentially saying i need to look out for my famy at th point. i once said i would take a bullet for donald trump, but right now if it'oi about me gng to prison i'm going to look out for my family and might be cutting a deal. others suggest this might be a cry for a pardon, a way before dangling before donald trokp, unless you pardon me i may cooperate and i know a lot of dark secrets about you. look, nobody would want the prospect of theirsonal attorney who had been a fixer for them for more than a decade cooperating with a federal investigation intoheir activities, particularly donald trump, so this cannot be a good situathen for president, the notion that his lawyer, his personal fixered has h a lawyer with ties to the investigators and is looking to cut a deal here. >> nbc's ken delaney. ken, thanks so much. >> you bet. >>ll look, for the latest ahead tonight on "nbc nightly news" with lester holt right after "news 4:00 at 6:00."av >> the a d.c. police
