given 30 minutes of testimony to robertmueller's team. then the president's personal attorney offered an alternate truth isn't truth. >> and then monday when president trump was escalating his attacks calling the investigators thugs tweeting that mueller is disgraced and discredited. >> the speal counsel respon arrived on tuesday. michael cohen implicated the president in a campaign cover up and then a jury convicted former trump campaign chairman paul manafort. >> thenh thursday w more potential exposure for the president because there's news that cohen's prosecutors have now granted immunity to the tabloid publisher who allegedly buried s of the president's deepest secrets. >> that news surfaced today that a top executive in the trump organization the money guy, he has also been granted immunity in the cohen case.

i believe the only guy in this room that cant keep all t straight. >> i don't know, you guys reminded me about some things it fo about this week. >> did it look like a noose is starti. >> now it's in the trump organization. >> you know, it' interesting. one thing you didn't include and that's okay, to i me, was the one, there was one recurring theme, people turningn the president. don mcgann when he found out hih e house counsel not just cooperating with the probe but under 30 hours. he is aotential eyewitness to obstruction or he could be an exse exulpatory and never mind omirosa was taping him and think of all the peoe turning on him and you put in weisselberg. prosecuted a lot of mob cases and it's like i asked him, when

people start cooperating that becomes a bit contagious, doesn't it? >> clearly. >>ll of a sudden, that's something i think the president, i think it explains why he lashed out at jeff sessions.id he dt know who else to lashou t at. who's next. who else is talking when you had omarosa taping in the white house and you do get a sense at some point it becomes alsurv and you start worrying about yourself and your own legal troubles. that's what i think we're seeing with the president and that's why he's angry at sessions because he feels like the only person who can control the situation and heel really can't and that is where the lashi out is coming from. >> what about ational enquirer." what is that telling us? >> i want to tap the brakes here a little bit.'t we dnow what kind ofty immu deal that weisselberg

have given. is it for the michael cohen case when you hear the phrase blanket community and that part we don't know or is it just cooperation on this? it certainly feels like this isn't in the past tense and that's the thing with david pecker. >> yes, he values loyalty, but a one-way street and i think he's seeing the price of that. you know, i had somebody who f the is in support president and he said president treated michael cohen terribly. speakingf supporters of the president. if you're keeping tra at home think now it's up to four people who have either pled guilty o have been found guilty of charges now. folks who were associated with him and we have the manafo

verdict that came out this week and one of the jurors the manafort came out explaininghy and keep in mind the fact that this is a trump supporter here. take a listen. >> the public, america needed to know how close this was and that the evidence was overwhelming. i didt not w paul manafort to be guilty and he was and no one is above the law. >> should be -- that is a healthy thingpl that p believe in the rule of law. you know, our own colleague ken delaney spoke to her as we confirmed this story with her and she also added more, you know, which is, hey, it was 11-1 on these things and she said, while she didn't believe rick gates, the paper trai it really reinforces something here. mueller is thorough. >> he has to be. >> he knows this.

>> does it surpriseyo no. >> the president says witch-hunt, the fact of the maer, there was no there by now, he'd be done. i talked tooeople very close mueller. mueller is not going after something willy-nilly. he is not trying to find an hing to get thepresident. he is doing the big, the big investigation. but he is doing it like a ricos mob you start from the outside and you work from in and eventually you get these cooperators and at some point you help, you know, you have aheory of the case and i think mueller has entered with somewhat a theory of the case and you see the unravel and i think the question is, which one of these threads is the one suddenly the sweat disappears. >> can we change gears and take a moment with a greatamerican, senator john mccain and the news today that he's going to stop the m oical side his battle because this glioblastoma are awful and he is such a amazing

man that has suffered and has done tremendous stuff for us. >> the treatment kills you. >> of course. >> the cure, if you can survive the treatment, you can beat this. but, you usually don't survive the trtment. >>sn't that what senator kennedy had, as well? >> yes. john i mccain fought harder than most. not a surprise, right? this guy has been through a lot worse in some ways. you know, every decade there is an unofficial lion of the senate. for the last decade it has been mccai i define it as the person who sort of speaks for the institution. and speaks for sometimes the integrity of the country and that's, you know, john mccaingr bed that mantle and did it well and, you know, it's been e such a h this year. we had a lot of our institutions get tested and a l is attacks on the press or whether it's been attacks on the justice department or attacks on the political system. there has been a durability to

john mccain voice that you felt as if was always going to be one of these pillars and that being missing, i think, it isy o shined a light on the weakness of the rest of congress. let's be honest heso. look, this is, i'll be depressed ave been all day. you know. look, we all have o own memories because the beauty of john mccain is that one of the hat i thougonally was amazing, he didn't care about your station in life. meaning, you know, the first interview i had with him i was doing a chat in a1996 we were doing chat room stuff some new d found websitee didn't know who i was but he agreed to do it. it wasann't just because it was "meet thepress." that is the person he was. he treated s everybody wite respect and it was, that's whyo say, oh, press loved john

mccain. because john mccain treated everyone are respect. >> boy, he's going to be missed. >> as sad as this moment , we'll enjoy hearing those kind of recollections. >> you feel, let's be realistic, let's be honest here. a big difference between the way donald trump practices politics and john mccain and a lot of people are missing the john mccain style, at least in this town. >> thank you, chk. >> "meet the press" airs at 10:30 right here on nbc 4. coming up, the fight of his life. a local firefighter battling cancer and getting some much-needed suprt and why he, like so many other firefighters, is suffering from a cancer that tends to just attack them. we're trackg some h temperatures, not this weekend but the heat and humidity coming back.
