thank you very much we do want to bring in michael cohen. michael. thank you so much for being here with us. don and i obviously have a lot of questions for you. as do the american people have you back together? we appreciate you joining us. what a day. it is for you today. and so this took a lot of people by surprise, including the amount of charges against former president so this is expected to be a 34 count indictment. 34 felony charges. do you understand why so many? yes i understand. i can't go in and i can't discuss it. however 34 is a pretty significant number. it certainly goes well past the stormy daniels. hush money payments are some of these because you received multiple payments again. i can't go into any of the specifics of this case. it's just not right to due to the prosecutors. this is their case, one of the things that i continues to say is that at the end of the day, there is a presumption of innocence. since and you know we do have to respect the due process clause and this case will ultimately be known to all of us. we will have

well first off if i was michael cohen's attorney, or if i was michael cohen himself, you know, maybethere's a different decision as opposed to pleading guilty and going to prison if you feel like you're being wrongfully accused, while then you fight that charge and you have your day in court. i don't know what else was. you know? i don't know what we don't know about the michael cohen case, but what we know is that he pled guilty to those charges, and he went to prison for that. donald trump. president trump is deciding that he is going to fight these charges and he'll have his day in court and have the prosecution will have to prove their case. i think one of the other flaws in this situation is that with alvin bragg, he he's not someone who is a consistent law and order guy who is enforcing laws across the board. as a matter of fact, what he's received. a lot of criticism for is that his first day that he was in office, he put out a memo that said all these different laws across the board. prosecutors are not allowed to prosecute and all of these other offenses you have to charge.

s office that i had a lot of information on michael cohen, none of which was good for michael cohen. i saw him on tv making statements that donald trump directed this and donald trump directed that. that statement that you put up on the screen earlier and read from, from february of 2018, that is very similar to what michael cohen told myself and my law partner. it's not just one onone with me. it's two-on-one and we took notes. that statement from february of 2018 that you just read is very, very similar. except for the fact that in april of 2018 when we met with him, he was suicidal. the mine was beside himself. his apartment and his law office had been searched pursuant to a warrant by the fbi. he said to us that his world is over. his family life is destroyed, his business life is destroyed. he was absolutely destroyed. he looked like he hadn't slept in a couple days. then he told us, by the way, i was up on the roof, the weekend before, which i think was one or two days before, seriously considering jumping off the roof. when i heard that, i didn't know whether he was being a dr

castella says that he met with michael cohen in 2018 after michael cohen's home and office was subject to a search warrant by the fbi, when michael cohen was shopping for a criminal defense lawyer and that michael cohen was in a legal panic at the time. >>ic a he was really files old, hethee looked like he hadn't slept in four or five days, and he just suddenly stopped in the middle of talking to someone pointed at us and said i want you guys to know, i will do whatever the f it takes, i will never spend one day in jail. he must have said that close to 20 times. this was his mantra, all day long. do you think a guy who has his mindset at that time, i -- shoot somebody, whatever it takes i am not going to jail? we went to jail. and now he is on the revenge tour. understand it, but i don't condone it. and that is why i went in there today to tell these people the truth about who the real michael cohen's, and what he was actually saying at that moment. >> mr. cartel stella said that michael cohen had signed a waiver with attorney client privilege in 2018 that allows him to now testify abo

michael was in a manic state.uicide, that he had been up on the roof of the regency hotel the weekend before, seriously considering jumping off because he couldn't face the enormity of the legal problems he knew were coming his way. his office had been searched. his home had been searched by the fbi pursuant to a search warrant. and he was imagining the worst for himself. although at that moment in time he still hadn't been charged with any crimes. so michael cohen in that state of high anxiety, when he said to us numerous times i'm looking for a way out, i need an escape hatch, how do i do this, i need to know what my options are, and his options were as he mentioned, he said do i have a chance for a pardon? do i have a chance for commutation? i'm not sure he understood what that term actually meant. do i have a chance for a cooperation agreement? he said i don't understand why they did this to me because i was already cooperating with the house and with the fbi. of course he forgot to mention that he lied to the

because i want to know what corroboration there is from michael cohen. that's key, and we know that there is david pecker who will give corroboration i imagine for why these payments were made to stormy daniels and to karen macdougal because david pecker was part of conversations about them being part of campaign expenditures to help donald trump in his campaign, so david pecker is going to be critical people from the trump campaign like kellyanne conway and hope hicks will also be critical if they were involved in communications about those payments and can testify that they were to further donald trump's campaign interests. but i also want to know who from the trump organization has testimony and documents that will reflect how those payments were reflected in the business records of the trump organization, and for what purposes those records were used. john so a lot of things happening today. there will be a meeting today with the new york state court officers, the nypd that secret service to go through the mechanics of tuesday . there will also be a

michael: it should not be. that is for sure. i probably would air more -- err more on the side of 250. we still have an inflation problem. it's a little tongue-in-cheek and clearly not going to do 50 but pretend everything is now falling apart in the world is coming to an and i think his way overreacting. one week prior to as bb we had unbelievable jobs come i thickly created a hundred thousand jobs with the last data to the upside and inflation has not been growing as much as the fed liked. at the end of the day, the whole point of tightening financial conditions, the whole point is ultimately rain and lending. if you do not want that to happen, why bother with rates in the first place. they are not going to do 50, absolutely not. they should not pause and unfortunately on this panel, i'm with everybody else on 25 basis points but i do not know if that is necessarily the right call. katie: it's ok to have a chorus, we are in agreement and harmony, it is kind of nice after the week we lived through. to the point we see financial

to benefit our boss, not to benefit michael cohen, and michael cohen is the only one who has been convicted to suffer what were pretty horrific conditions of confinement. nobody wants to be confined. you know what? he stood up, he took responsibility for his crime and i think, if you -- if you put yourself in his shoes, he was probably pretty darn upset that the person who really benefited from the crime that he committed at trump's direction has never been held accountable. is he supposed to feel good about that? >> one more point from our exclusive reporting again from jonathan dienst, our partner at wnbc is this: cohen felt it was important to keep the matter secret from melania trump to protect her and trump's marriage. cohen wanted to keep it from his own wife because cohen was taking out a loan to front the money. would any of that be relevant to the charges we believe they're looking at here? >> i predict all of that will make an appearance at trial when trump's defense team cross examines michael cohen robustly. look at the timing of this payment and look at how many years earlier d

donald trump picked michael cohen as the key witness. donald trump hired michael cohen. used him tactics, and that ultimately is the picture that the jury will see. >> and what he got convicted of was all stuff for donald trump. really quickly, i want to ask you, glenn, about this attempt to quash the georgia investigation. donald trump's folks, they released this brief in which they're trying to claim based on the fifth and 14th amendments that fani willis in georgia should not be able to prosecute him. your thoughts? >> yeah, usually we see a motion to quash when a subpoena has been served and the witness that has been subpoenaed wants to argue the prosecutor doesn't really have a lawful basis to issue the subpoena. so the witness will file or the attorney will file a motion to quash the subpoena. asking the judge to rule that the subpoena is unenforceable. so a motion to quash a grand jury report recommending that certain indictments be handed down doesn't really feel like a procedural thing. i recognize we're in sort of uncharted waters here. but when you look -- i h

for you, michael cohen isn't needed in this case. all these pundits and pontificators and lawyers who are speaking on tv, especially on another rival network, have no clue what the evidence is in this case. i'm in the room. i know what the evidence is. they don't so they're speculating, and they have no idea that this case is surrounded by documents, evidence, and facts. i think this case is extremely strong i hear people say it's a weak case it's because they have no clue, no facts they're just speculating >> you mentioned mr. berman. and you did mention that he has this chapter in his book where he talks about getting a call from william barr, who we do know was acting as a fixer for donald trump and as attorney general at the same time but what you said sound like you're alleging some intimidation tactics against mr. berman and maybe against mr. cohen as well. >> no question that mr. berman wrote that in the book he waited a little long to talk about what was basically criminal obstruction of justice, even if the attorney general

donald trump wrote to michael cohen to cover up that payoff. and you imagine putting your client, donald trump, on the witness stand in manhattan, in his own defense. and then you hear him say to an audience of a few thousand trump fanatics in texas, that wouldn't be the one. meaning, i, donald trump, an expert on donald trump having a an affair, insisted you that's not a person donald trump would have an affair with. and then, as donald trump's criminal defense lawyer, you listen, hoping that your client donald trump can find a way of saying i love my wife. and he's never been under more public pressure in his life to say, i love my wife. and he cannot bring himself to say it. those words do not cross his mind. if you're donald trump's lawyers, and he is indicted in the stormy daniels case in manhattan, you know that your only chance of getting a not guilty with donald trump to put him on the witness stand to try to convince that jury that the only reason he participated in the stormy granules payoff scheme was not to hide stormy daniels story

including about michael cohen. when we are looking at the investigation here, donald trump has a, he has denied tha he directed michael cohen to make the hundred and 30,00 dollar payment to stormy daniels, despite michael cohen suggesting that he told hi when the lead up to the 2016 election, to make this transaction. but what trump has not denied, stephanie, is that he was awar of this arrangement sometime i 2017 because when you look a the personal checks that donal trump was writing to reimburse michael cohen, who is writin them all the way up until at least december of 2017 so than when i put those questions to him on the plane, he, number one, did no directly answer it and the number two, when i asked him well where does he think the money is going, e then escorte around that as well. that is the point, here fo donald trump there is still lack of questions that he ha answered and that is why he, number one declined to go unde oath and actually go before th grand jury with his version of events, but he's also d

michael steele from maryland, who i love, and michael beschloss of. as a history major at georgetown university, you are the gold standard of historians. so thank you so much for all that you do. >> thank, you you too. >> i think right now, i think when you look at trump in all of the other individuals that are desantis, and the others. it's basically a little bit of the same. right? and so we're not trying to focus on that we're trying to focus on enjoying what we have, that we have american people recognizing what we as democrats have done. and what biden has done. as he said in the state of the union, there is a job that he's been doing, and we have to get the job done. and so mobilizing americans, to recognize that it is our policies that are most interested, mo supportive of them. we are putting people over politics. each and every day in the policies that we're putting forward. while republicans are basically a circus, that's what i can say on early morning television. a circus for everyone to see. >> so michael, that circus has you know, a ring

michael cohen plead guilty eons ago, went to prison. and so, the idea that there's this -- i get it, that it's hard to convict somebody who has a huge number of people in the country that believe his lies, i get that, because criminal verdicts have to be unanimous, but the law is either going to apply to everybody or it's not, and six years is a really long time >> yeah, i mean, tim, i guess -- i don't get it i don't get -- let me read this again, because i forgot how black and white this was at the time during the campaign, michael cohen played a central role in two similar schemes to purchase the rights to stories each from women who claimed to have had an affair with individual one, donald trump as to suppress the stories and thereby prevent them from influencing the election with respect to both payments, michael cohen acted with the intent to influence the 2016 presidential election. cohen coordinated his actions with one or more members of the campaign, including through meetings and phone calls about the fact, nature of the payme

i think michael himself will— him to the team. i think michael himself will be _ him to the team.mself will be able _ him to the team. i think michael himself will be able to _ him to the team. i think michael himself will be able to have - him to the team. i think michael. himself will be able to have greater detail about exactly the toll it takes on him, notjust him, but his family, close friends as it were, there have been some difficult, challenging times and dark times. but this was still another damaging day for yorkshire, which admitted four charges, including a failure to address systemic use of racist language over a prolonged period. the panel said that its findings did not undermine rafiq's wider assertions and upheld some of the distributor charges against five other former players and coaches here. all five, which included former england stars matthew hoggard and tim bresnan, had withdrawn from the disciplinary process. today, rafiq gave me this reaction. you know, rafiq gave me this reaction. you know. the _ rafiq gave me this reaction. you know, the hearing _ rafiq

michael dudley, jessica and austin's landlord, has been arrested.ew the couple had died until ten days after their murder, when a group of teens discovered a suitcase washed up on the shores of alki beach and posted a video of their discovery on tiktok. the suspect accused of murdering them is 62—year—old michael dudley. and new court documents say the couple was renting a room inside this house you see behind me. and apparently at least part of the conflict was over rent. we're also learning the night of the shooting, a neighbour heard gunshots from inside the house and someone yelling, "please don't do this, just let me leave." this is the matter of state of washington versus michael lee dudley. mr dudley, you are charged in count one with murder in the second degree, that you did cause the death ofjessica d lewis, who died on or about 9june 2020, that you did cause the death of austin wenner, who died on or about 9june 2020. as preparations for the trial begin, people trawl through the life of michael dudley, but also jessica and austin. i was af

this was a moment of reckoning notjust for michael vaughan, of not just for michael vaughan, of courseughan, of course, and is the highest profile defendant, it felt like he arguably had the most to lose. and it will come as a huge relief, of course, the fact the panel found him not guilty of making a racist remark 1a years ago. so much of a focus on him, but yorkshire had already admitted for charges, including a failure to confront what they described as systemic use of racist and discriminatory language over a prolonged period of time. another of theirformer players, gary prolonged period of time. another of their former players, gary ballance, reputed his charge, leaving five other former players and coaches including matthew haag art and tim preston, and all of those five had at least some charges upheld by the panel, disrepute charges. so another damaging day for this club, and it has a long path ahead of it in terms of recovery. but as i said, lots of the focus on vaughan, and earlier on after he learned that he had cleared his name and been found not guilty, we spoke to his law

and michael cohen, michael cohen, michael cohen is that guy. but we've all known for about a long time that if there's a prosecution, the defense will stand on the idea that michael cohen as a liar and a fraudster. and of course, the prosecution will use michael cohen likely do while cooperating with witnesses, and say, okay he may be a criminal, but it takes a criminal to catch a criminal. but beyond michael cohen, this case will be a document case. and it's true there are checks made out to michael cohen, but they are made out to michael cohen, which may bolster trump's argument that in fact it was just doing what his lawyer told him to do and paid his lawyer directly. and joe tacopina is right and that michael cohen did go in and plead guilty, and did testify to the state that the payments were made to save trump and his family harm. and he is right, under federal election law, as long as that one reason is there, he may not even matter that there are additional reasons -- helping the campaign. so, if you had family embarrassment, that trump

i always say, you have nothing m michael cohen. >> michael cohen got screwed out. >> got screwed thescrewed worse? and the question i want you to joining usçó on the law, do you think any of these other people ñe1 tune :e managed to keep people largely onboard even at their own personal legal peril?lp >> i think michael got au completely raw deal ultimately working foru worked for him for many, many years. donald did not give him a position in the white house that would have been -- i don't think staff, but some senior type ofjf position, and he ultimately ended up infá jail. so from my experience of anyone that i worked with,e1 worked wi during that time, michael was certainly screwed over by donald very badly.e1e1 >>çó yeah. hang with me. former u.s. attorney joyce vance is here. joyce, similar question to you. can these cases in new york or elsewhere proceed if they don't get more cooperating witnesses? and i mentioned the, quote, unquote, loyalty, i put that in quotes. manafort, stone, who got a pardon, flynn, e1lpbannon, who multiple legal cases but got his pardon, weisselb( quo

i think it's clear he needs michael cohen and he's going to rely on michael cohen.i said, john, that's a risky proposition. regardless of whether one may think michael cohen has turned himself around and i believe he has we heard earlier a clip of his lawyer saying this was entirely a personal payment and had nothing to do with contribution. you know who else who said that, michael cohen to the ftc. he'll have to explain why hut he said back then was a lie and why he should be believed. difficult jury to put in front of a witness of 12 average citizens. >> how likely is an indictment here? >> it seems very likely given the stage ware at, given michael cohen seems tuesday be one of the final witnesses and the d.a. has given donald trump now essentially his last chance to go into the grand jury. so i do think it's quite likely bordering uncertain we'll see an indictment soon. but i'll stress this every time i talk about the possibility of an indictment of donald trump, an indictment and conviction are two very important things. >> and one book related question because

cohen, michael cohen's the star witness. people can decide the jury will decide if they believe him. trump's team going to is going to point out that michael cohen has been convicted of perjury and fraud. personal animosity. i mean, to say the least, michael cohen despises donald trump, and they're going to argue that he's made inconsistent prior statements. but michael come with the prosecutors are going to argue he's backed up by other evidence, and you can believe him or other people which brags team may need. okay ellie. thank you so helpful, don. all right, ellie poppy, new york city ramping up security this morning they have been for a while. but yesterday and even the weeks before they're preparing for possible protests in the wake of the former president's unprecedented indictment, the nypd coordinating with federal law enforcement and the secret service, to be ready for whatever might happen. seeing his brand jen grass live near the manhattan courthouse for us this morning. good morning, bren police, other security

michael cohen is he said that donald trump knew what he was paying for and knew that michael cohen, his lawyer, was doing it on his behalf we'll get into the evidence he could be presenting to the jury in a moment. we also have an answer from donald trump's lawyers about whether he, donald trump, will accept his own invitation from da alvin bragg to also sit for the grand jury. >> we have no plans on participating in that proceeding it's a decision that needs to be made still, no deadline has been set so we'll wait and see. >> whether he speaks or not is almost secondary right now, the fact he got the invitation at all signals to some lawyers a decision on charges, a decision on charges, is likely coming so if he is charged, what happens next not just logistically like what are the charges and does he turn himself in but politically. do charges help him or hurt him with gop voters? trump will be in iowa today, are the crowds still showing up to see him? we have a reporter on the ground, and donald trump's opponents are watching closely as well. including former vice president mike pence

he distorted the michael case. the second thing is, i think it is rich that now he is saying that donald trump is entitled to the presumption of innocence and that we should allow this. ted and i served together for a good number of years. ted has been actually one who has attacked not just president trump but other members of this body, and the public, and said they committed crimes and try to paint them with this brush. when he said they are entitled to be presumption of innocence, he did not give anybody else the presumption of innocence. the third thing is i think it is interesting that we spent a lot of time talking about this but we do not talk about bill clinton and the apollo jones case or hillary clinton and $1 million. we do not talk about how she got off with a fine when they were actually using campaign runs to her -- funds -- funds to hire people to promote the still jones case. i understand it. it is politics but i am not sure that it is a fair coverage that it should be. ted definitely, going back to

donald trump picked michael cohen, donald trump used to michael cohen, he wrote the book on how to doers are doing with donald trump. that is who donald trump picked, as somebody like that. as a prosecutor, you have to live with who it is that the defendant brings in as a witness, and a person in the room who's going to have the evidence. i think that alvin bragg had all of that corroboration lined up, knowing that you have to corroborate with him. >> and he knew who michael cohen was. >> exactly. >> let's talk a little bit about the strength of the case, because we did a fair amount of treating everybody to the john andrews history, how do you see this case as meaningfully different than the edwards case, for example? >> this case has two legal issues, right? a, did it happen, and michael cohen has the issues that he has. you have to corroborate that. and b, it is it legally sound? for both of those issues, the john edwards case, i think that it did not necessarily have those issues. the john edwards case with much more about the facts, and whether that was for a campaign violation,

michael cohen is the key witness in this investigation.as donald trump's former lawyer and fixer, the one who paid that initial $130,000 to stormy daniels, and yet, as the u.s. attorney's office in the southern district of new york laid out in its own case against michael cohen in 2018, they repeatedly noted that he had a pattern of deception. that over the course of years he had consistently lied at the benefit of not only donald trump but also himself. he also was found guilty as part of his plea agreement in 2018 to lying to congress in 2017. even a judge in march of 2020 rejected his plea to have his sentencing reduced saying that after his initial sentencing that he had continued to offer misleading and false statements. all of that said, michael cohen pushes back hard against this, essentially making the case that he since then, since his guilty plea has testified hundreds of hours under oath to the new york attorney general's office, to the manhattan district attorney's office, to the special counselor, robert mueller's probe. had i
