ngton cardinal donald worrell's name is being removed from a catholic hig school in pennsylvania. now, this move comes just days after the schl's marquee was vandalized here. take a good look. an online petition called for the removal and the school's trustees say cardinalwuerl also asked his name to be removed. the fallout comes after a pennsylvania grand jury report on priest sex abuse found cardinal wuerl to be part of a big cover-up. he denies that. it will now simply be north cathly high school. president trump says he did nothing wrong. this comes a day after his rmer fixer michael cohen pled guilty and implicated trump in a federal crime. also, a jury convicting trump's former campaign chairman. ot say te house did whether the president is considering a pardon for paul manafort and in regards to michael cohen, the president claims payments madewo to t women who allegedly had affairs
5:06 pm
with trump were not illegal.s herehat he had to say in an interview with "fox & friends." >> in fact, myirst question when i heard about it was, did they come out of the campaign? because that could be a little dicey. they didn't come out of the campaign. but they weren't -- it's not even a campaigviolation. >> asked repeatedly aut cohen's plea, white house press secretary sarah huckabee sanders argued that the president didro nothing and is not facing any charges. so joining us now to help break all of this down, nbc's senior political editor mark murray. the president isn't facing charges but aside from it being dicey, do these payments nstitute a violation and are republicans reacting to it on the hill at all? >> yeah, wendy, i just want to go back to wt the president ended up saying in that innerview on fox , where he said this money didn't come from my campaign, it was other money. that is precisely the issue here
5:07 pm
td what michael cohen was pleading guilty on campaign finance charges. when you end up having campaigns, you can't actually re andoney from elsew make campaign-type moves with that money coming from other sources. and the fact that i wasn' part of the president's campaign is exactly the issue here.ey it was m coming from elsewhere that was trying to influence a preside wial electih payment to stormy daniels and others. that is the heart of the issue here. >> what if it was comin o out the trump foundation? i know the new york prosecutors -- inves into that. looking is that an issue for ohen and heuld there be any charges if there is a problem that are outside the president's ability to pardon, if you will? nd we ty,around him, is that this co sstually end up spiraling into other iues. as you mentioned, looking at the trump foundation, going to the heart of the mueller probe as well if mr. cohen has any
5:08 pm
information there. that is worth remembering in all of thi what ended up happening yesterday with michael cohen is now being handled by robert mueller, the special counsel. he handed this off to the southern district of new york office, prosecutors there. so the russia investigation still goes on. the kind of question is, do you end up starting to connect some of the dots between michael ohen and the russia investigation? the white house continues to say there was no collusion. this has nothing to dohe with russia story, but it very well could in the days and months ahead. what should we take away from paul manafort's verdict yesterday? what's the bigger picture on this? i mean, it's getting a little complicated with all of these moving parts. we needrd white to kind of follow it. >> wendy, it's getting complicated. ,he big picture in all of this, paul manaforthe campaign chairman in 2016, you have the president's attorney michael hen, attorney and fixer, the former national security adviser, people who have all either pleaded guilty orco icted by a jury. that is quite a rap sheet with a

5:34 pm
something he allegedly did before hereasdent? >> that's the big question. now, this all comes up because the general t view at justice department is that you can't indict a sitting president, so he couldn'trge c with a crime. that's been the longstanding view und both republican and democratic administrations. the u.s. attorney's office that brought these charges againstn cohes bound by it, so is the special counsel. now, obviously a prosecutor, any prosecutor, robert mueller, any could ask the justice department's deputy attorney general or the attorney general for an exception, but that doesn't seem liky. so that's why this question of impeachment comes up. the general view of legal scholars is impeachment is the recourse for misconduct in office. >> mmm-hmm. >> it's aen punis against a public official. so that's why your question comes up. the answer turns out to be who knows. of course it's been untested in court but there is a school of thought among legal scholars who says -- who say, yes, that you
5:35 pm
can charge a president under very narrow circumstances, you can impeach a sitting president for something that happened before he was elected. the precedent here comes from the constitutional convention debates from george mason who said that a president could be impeached for trying to corruptlylu ice the electoral college to get president -- to become president. this argument goes, ll, if it's an impeachable offense to try to corruptly electoral college, it may also be an impeachable offense to try toorruptly influence the election, at least that's the theory. >> and pete, what if there was any possible obstruction that occurred after he was president? >> well, phat'ssumably what robert mueller is looking at. >> would that be impeachable? >> very definitely could be peachable if the house concludes that there was obstruction, but, of course, that's sort of one of the questions that has led to this issue of whether you can charge or indict a sitting president. gain, the answer seems to be
5:36 pm
no. but obstruction, you know, high crimes and misdemeanors doesn't mean simply offending the law, it's intended to be a political punishment, but if the house were to conclude there was obstruction, that would likely be grounds for impeachment. >> if the gop ili contr the legislature, this is a moot question, perhaps? >> perhaps, yes. >> whether it happens before november or if it wou happen after november, too. >> well, i think we'd certainly ha to be after november to wait for robert mueller's report. >> all right. pete williams, thanks so much. >> harnthanks, pete. >> out in front once again. the death of a man struck and killed while riding his bicycle in the bike lane has prpted district officials to make some serious safety changes. d.c. officials tell us the plan to widen the sidewalk right her and realign the bike lane in the area of m street and new hampshire avenue northwest. everything kind of comes together the if you've ever been in thisrea. at's where a truck dlieded
