jim mcdougal was found guilty on 18 different charges.usan mcdougal was found guilty on four counts. >> the former whitewater business partners were in solitary confinement in separate prisons in two different states. jim mcdougal had cut a deal with ken starr, a shortened prison sentence on bank fraud charges in exchange for cooperating and implicating the clintons. susan mcdougal had refused to cooperate and was being held in criminal contempt. >> susan has got to get the all-time award for loyalty. >> still refusing to talk, susan was constantly shuttled between prisons. >> one of the things they do to weaken the resolve of people who are in for contempt is to move them to different prisons. >> they call it the diesel therapy. they put you on this diesel van, and they move you around, and you're in shackles and handcuffs and waist chains. it's meant to be a torture. >> it's amazing that she didn't crack under that. >> jim's time was supposed to be easier. after all, he had cooperated with prosecutors. >> sure. i'm going to go -- go thr

later, we will go out to the public inaugural ceremony and we will have our poet laureate, joe mcdougall, read a poem that i commission on the theme of hope in arkansas. i believe that we will all agree today that arkansas is an amazing place to live and raise a family and build our own special future. it hasn't always been easy. we've had our share of challenge and difficulty. the most challenging time was during the great depression, during that time that we were poor but, we did not lose population. our population did not decline. people stayed here because poverty was all over the nation, that was the 1930s. but, when the economy boomed again during the war, the jobs out-of-state offer better pay, between 1940 and 19 60/150,000 people left our state. some of our best left for michigan, and chicago. now, the trend is reversed. people are moving to arkansas from california, michigan, illinois, and we are retaining our homegrown talent, our population is now over 3 million people and growing every day. the lesson is, that if people follow opportunity and pursue quality of life, they wil

. >> do you think that the hush money payments to stormy daniels and to karen mcdougal, that that should be a primary focus in terms of campaign finance irregularities and convictions or do you think that people should actually go in there and more investigatively, just try to find out about russia and crimes that they don't know about? >> i think they should not spend the majority of their time on the hush money payments. ongoing investigations about that. there's some questions that should be asked about that by congress but they need to have an orchestrated approach. the hardest challenge for democrats is not making this their showboating moment where they're going to get on the national map. and that's very hard to coordinate as sort of jamal was referencing, to put it mildly, but they will help themselves in the long run if they don't do that. >> another breaking story today, major story, cnn exclusive. we just learned that special counsel robert mueller interviewed president trump's chief campaign pollster. the news seems potentially more significant after the revelation this week

you've covered stormy daniels and karen mcdougal and these hush money payoffs as all of this developed as the president did know about this we learned and the money was his essentially. what is your reaction to this breaking news into cnn that michael cohen, the former personal attorney of president trump, really his fixer is going to be in that hot seat publicly before congress? >> you know, to say something obvious but in the big picture that i think is so important is that we have not heard from michael cohen in a really long time in a real way, right, as we were waiting for months for him to be sentenced and as these various investigations were going on, he really was not speaking to the press. he was very careful to not make extended public statements so this idea that he is going to be testifying before congress in a public way and putting on this sort of prolonged performance, if you want to be cynical about it, that is going to be really significant because we really have not seen him in that context and keep in mind, he has testified before congress before but not in a public

question of venezuela we're on the run quite aside because we have serious difficulties recognizing mcdougal's reelection is this is a feat it's obvious that there were so many irregularities in the election process that we can only speak to a limited degree of a democratic election it's nuts why we're calling for fresh elections for the national assembly to assume responsibility and for the force of constitutional law to be restored to venezuela we've made that known together with our european partners that's going to be our policy in the coming days and i expect this will be made very clear so we're not neutral as regards this question that we support what quiet who is doing your districts and us for score your thoughts toward carlino what is germany what is europe doing to bring about the new elections and says it wants to see first of all i have to say this this words from high capacity came late almost twelve hours after sweden's pain denmark already has said that they are not recognizing that the us legitimate president there recognizing why don't and germany and also and brussels europe

very much accusing most of the nations there but their actions against his country and the nicolas mcdougal's government and then perhaps i knew surely messages from both the u.s. and russia saying very different things and it does show the once again the security council is potentially divided on this. well indeed yes let's make very clear here you'll notice the u.s. secretary of state is no longer in the chamber he walked away way before the venezuelan foreign minister started speaking he held a brief news conference outside and left the united nations while the security council is still in session we then heard from the venezuelan foreign minister who was alarmed by special agreement to speak before the council venezuela obviously not being a member of the security council he used the opportunity as a show and tell of years hundreds of years of u.s. intervention in latin america then we saw a response from the u.s. representative stayed behind now that turns out it was elliot abrahams he's just been appointed a few days ago by mike pompei or to be the point person on the venezuelan issue e

to rank and file soldiers who like the majority of venezuela's population are suffering on the mcdougal's presidency. well jesse was latin america is in the sea and human is live for us in kuta on the venezuelan colombian a border and it seems of course that everything rests on the loyalty of the military is going out of his way to make these visits to you know military barracks because he feels the need to does he think that perhaps there are cracks in that loyalty as it stands. absolutely he is if there was ever any doubt that the loyalty of the armed forces was crucial to president nicolas mothers duration empower he dispelled those doubts by spending the whole day cozying up to the navy going out in boats then going to these impromptu military exercises in the state of god out warble where he repeated over and over again that the only way to win the respect is to show force and he said that would show the world that it had to be respected by showing how powerful its armed forces is this is clearly a sign that he is having some doubts there have been defections over the past few years

i suspect we will hear an awful lot about stormy daniels and karen mcdougal and perhaps other dealings when he was donald trump's so-called fixer. we'll hear what he has to say. he has been locked down he's testified nurm numerous times in front of the grand jury. hardly an untainted witness. he's pled guilty to lying, including lying before congress. he is cooperating on some matters, presumably, there are other illegal conduct he didn't feel like sharing with prosecutors. so he is damaged goods. but he may have interesting things to say. >> she was damaged goods until he wasn't. right? mueller came forward, he's told the truth to us. he's credible. he's been helpful to us. many men have different facets to them. we'll see what is said by michael cohen and what can be demonstrated as true. walter, john, you guys were so helpful on a night when we needed it. thank you, both. >> good to be with you. >> the president did his nice photo op at the border, day 20 of a shutdown. it was on the verge of a longest we've ever had. we were on the verge, according to president, kind of of his decl

we know the president's story during 2016 about hush money payments to stormy daniels and karen mcdougal was not true. the president was involved, he knew about it, despite months of saying he knew nothing about it. we also heard from michael cohen. he said the moscow talk went way beyond 2017 and they said, no, we stopped in january. so michael cohen has proven to be a very valuable witness in the case against trump. >> that's true, but he's not entirely wrong with saying michael michael cohen was not truthful. he was willinot willing to shar every deed that went against the law because he was afraid it might implicate family members. president trump has a point saying he has a problem telling the whole truth, but michael cohen doesn't seem to have any problem telling the truth when it comes to donald trump. >> the legal adviser to michael cohen we just talked about, lanny davis, was on cnn moments ago and was asked will michael cohen testify? >> first of all, will he appear before the senate? he's been subpoenaed, we were told. >> mr. cummings greatly respects his invitation for mr. co

just that issue alone of the payments to stormy daniels and karen mcdougal is going to be revealing because it will be on the record in front of the american people. many law maker are going to have a piece of that issue. and it's possible he could also be cleared, this will all be negotiated in advance with mueller, but he could be cleared to talk about some things like the trump tower deal in mosque eo. he could be cleared to talk about some aspects of the trump tower meeting and that will be ea negotiation between mueller and congress. but there's lot they can get into. and i'll bet you he knows a lot about what's in david picker's vault. he's the owner of the "national enquirer" said to have a secret vault of secrets. >> that's a great point. and he's going to be under oath. one of the things we lose sight of because all of the craziness is the president's altready been implicated in the felony, ord oering a felony that criminally violated a law to get him elected. >> and giving direction to the people in it. you know, the sentencing came out just before christmas and the issue the pros

he also played a pivotal role in buying the silence of karen mcdougal -- a former playboy playmate whohe president denies the claims. (ken) some residents in a pennsylvania community are upset about an item sold at auction recently.it was a ku klux klan robe and hood... and they fetched three thousand dollars.according to the auction house, the items were sold on consignment.the auctioneer's decision to sell the robe was met with objections from people in the community -- including a local pastor.still, the business stood by its decision. <"my reasoning is it's a historical item. they're very valuable and they're very collectible. and it is strictly historical."mos: "there are supporters of that who still you know exists and believe in it and act on it. and so it's not that historical. it's not a treasure, historical treasure - it's more of a threatening image to me."> the auction house says the robe and hood were bought by an anonymous collector. judging by how the warriors have been playing lately, it's no surprise that other teams are trying their hardest to land their own superstar

but do we believe all the information he was buying from david picker involved only karen mcdougal?re we going to hear about more, bim bow eruptions? there so much he's been privy to personally, professionally, the organization and perhaps the foundation. i think trump's got to be worried about everything he knows that cohen knows about him. >> i mean this is a guy he knows to when he's in trouble. >> every time we've had battles with trump over the years, cohen was the guy with the meaning i never met with trump that cohen wasn't in the room. so when you look at he was the guy with the fixer, when you look at that, he's proven revealing with these women. why would you think he doesn't know everything. you don't bring in a side law dwroor do all of these kinds of things. you have to trust him and cohen feels betrayed. has all this information and nothing to lose. >> despite being implicated in a felony, he did nothing wrong when he directed the pay offs that violated campaign finance laws. let's watch. >> trump didn't violate campaign finance laws. it's not a campaign finance violat

[ laughter ] i don't know what that has to do with this. the publisher of "the enquirer" was one of the president's closest friends. not only are they friends, "the national enquirer" was the president's favorite book, and now he can't even read that. [ laughter ] the search conti next white house chief of staff. and word is whoever it is, in order to get the job, you'll need the approval of the president's daughter, ivanka, and her husband, jared kushner. will have to approve the candidate. how would you even know if you had jared kushner's approval? he gives you this empty, dead-eyed stare no matter what's going on. but he and ivanka will approve the chief of staff. two years ago the only thing ivanka trump was approving were swatches for her handbags. now she's in charge of that. the president's other kid, the one who may have gotten him into all this russia stuff, donald trump jr., djtj, was heading into a ho

presented a very unorthodox defense of the payments his client made to keep stormy daniels and karen mcdougal quiet during the campaign. >> the amount of money is consistent with harassment, not truth. i have been involved in cases like this. when it's true and you have the kind of money that the president had, it's a million dollar settlement. when it's not true, when it's a harassment settlement and it's not true, you give them $130,000 or $150,000. >> jimmy: is that how they teach it in hush money school in if the i go running for president had sex he would pay them $1 million. no sex, the rate is much lower than that. and if they're getting $150,000 for not having sex with the president, i'd like to file a claim for my check. i didn't have sex with him either. this is good. this might be rudy giuliani's least convincing attempt to defend the president yet. >> suppose he tried to use his campaign funds to pay off stormy daniels. it would be totally illegal. if it's not a campaign expense it can't be a campaign contribution. >> but the corporate contribution from ami would be clearly illega

going to sit down and talk about obviously not just the stormy daniels payoff, not just the karen mcdougal purchasing story so they could continue to be caught and killed. one of the first questions has got to be let's talk about any other payments that the president or the candidate made to perhaps bury damaging information. to whom, how, and importantly, what was the timing of those payments, if any, were they designed to impact our free and fair election. so even if it's a limited scope of examination, it could be potentially devastating to trump. >> it would also be personally devastating. i'm amazed that the president said he's not worried at all. i mean, i feel so bad, i mean, for his wife, for his son, who's 12 years old. at the very least, it's going to be brutal, humiliating. do you believe the president when he says he's not worried? >> no, of course not. any more than we believe he never said he was going to make mexico write a check to pay for the wall. i got to tell you, regardless of how you feel about the politics, our hearts break for the families. >> yes, he's got a 12-yea

mcdougal, the woman who accused him and said i'm giving you $150,000 in cash because i'm really worried that you're going to ruin my election chances, it obviously intended to help my election, here it is cash to shut you up, that would not be a crime. candidates are entitled to spend as much as they want on their own campaign. it bloomberg were to run and decides to spend $1 billion on his campaign that would be legal. this would never happen. if he said let's take 10 million of that and pay hush money to people who might otherwise come up with information against me. again, hypothetical. that would not be a crime. we talking and variations on that theme. was the money paid by trump, corporation, the campaign? those are important questions. was he directing michael cohen to pay his own money? was there a failure to report? i think there's been a lot of misunderstanding about how campaign finance laws operate in the context of paying hush money. host: what he is a democrat from munro, michigan. caller: good morning. i like you to answer questions for me. you brought up uranium one. coul

basically, trump is saying when he told michael cohen to pay stormy daniels and karen mcdougal, he assumedlegal and cool, which is interesting because i sort of remember back in april, i don't know if you remember him also saying this. >> mr. president, did you know about the $130,000 payment to stormy daniels? >> no. >> jimmy: right. [ laughter ] first it was i never had sex with those women, then it was i never paid those women. now it's i assumed it was legal to pay those women. next week, he'll say he didn't know they were women and that's why he asked them to take off their clothes. and on top of all that -- [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] as if we don't have enough going on, there is now a new investigation into the president's inauguration. federal prosecutors are looking at whether trump's inaugural committee misused funds and/or took donations in exchange for access to the new administration. trump's inaugural team has failed to account for much of the $103 million they claim they spent on the inauguration. at this point, i think the only remaining law donald trump hasn't bro

president in terms of his campaign finance violations, hush money payments to stormy mcdaniels and mcdougal. it's not much of a leap that the president would ask michael cohen to do this. downplay his knowledge of the moscow project or perhaps go before congress and not tell the truth there as well. we should point out, it took the white house quite a while to push back against the story. they since have. last night, rudy giuliani, his attorney said -- >> first off, i never said the campaign didn't collude. >> correct. very unorthodoxed appearance on cnn a few days ago. he again last night talked to him and others did as well, if you think this story is true, i basically have a bridge in brooklyn to sell you. but it wasn't a firm denial. it took the white house until this afternoon to do so, despite repeated asked questions to the staff and rudy giuliani again. he has since said this is not true, sarah sanders huckabee on a gaggle on the driveway reiterated that. certainly there's a sense in the white house of real fear of what this is, and more than that, sans of the unknown. this is proba

the interesting questions here, we know they'll ask about the stormy daniels' payoff and the karen mcdougal payoff and how involved the president was in that aspect of the president's problems. but i also think that they're probably going to look back at his false testimony to congress and there was, in the sentencing memo that the sdny provided and also mueller, correct, provided, there is a point in it that says that michael cohen consulted with an administration official before he delivered his false testimony. they may want to know a lot more about that. who was that administration official? was there some kind of coordination with the white house about delivering false testimony to congress, for which he has been prosecuted? >> that's a significant charge if, in fact, they learn the identity of this administration official. >> and coordination. >> and coordination, yeah. >> what was the extent of it? >> justice, that gets into all of that. bianna, how concerned should the president be? >> any time the president hears mueller or cohen, it's not a good moment for him. especially on a day

what did he tell you about karen mcdougal? what did he tell you about his dealings with russia? although that subject may be reserved for executive session for secret, you know, the whole russia side. but he can talk openly without a judge telling him no about his dealings with president candidate trump, and that will be a big deal. >> i want to skip over michael and back to you, van, because of congressman steve king. steve king, releblingtded, said what is so wrong? what's the problem with white supremacist? why do we feel bad about that term? what's the problem? >> i'm embarrassed. i'm raising my family in california, i'm embarrassed that californias have sent him back. we've known that he was a closet bigot for a very long time. he's just basically out the closet. unfortunate he's being supported by other voices, the mainstreaming of white supremacy, the mainstreaming of white nationalism has been well under way since frankly the trump campaign started off, you know, coming down the escalator saying that most immigrants from mexico are rapists and murderers. this has been an
