myself and allen weisselberg went back to his office, and i was instructed by allen at the time that they were going to do this over 12 installments. and what he decided to do then was to have me send an invoice in which case they could have a check cut, and then, yes, the answer would be yes to your follow-up question. >> and donald trump jr. obviously signed off on this? >> yes. it would either be eric trump, donald trump jr., and/or allen weisselberg. but always allen weisselberg on the check. >> i just want the american public to understand the explosive nature of your testimony on this document. are you telling us, mr. cohen, that the president directed transactions in conspiracy with allen weisselberg and his son, donald trump jr., as part of a civil criminal -- as part of a criminal conspiracy of financial fraud? is that your testimony today? >> yes. >> and do you know if this criminal financial scheme that the president, allen weisselberg and donald trump jr. being involved in is being investigated by the southern district of new york? >> i'd rather not discuss that question

governor allen, senator allen, i really do want to ask you about some of the home runs and also maybe some of the strikeouts or singles. tell me what you thought and going to the wall issue, he didn't specifically say he would declare a state of emergency to get the wall made. was that bending not necessarily for the democrats but maybe for some gop members who have wanted him to back down on that? >> i think that's a matter of good governance. i think that he gave a very good positive speech. he was trying to unify the country, let people know there's more products being made in the usa, jobs are way up in manufacturing, they are hiring more, paying more. byron would like the part as far as we're number one in energy production and net exporter and north dakota is part of it. all of that has made our country more competitive. i think he came up with some ideas and reaching out and it's not a home run, but he got on base. to get bipartisan efforts on infrastructure, fixing immigration and including a physical barrier and controlling our borders. i would hope that everyone regardless o

and allen weissleberg? yes. at this moment, are there other frauds we don't know about or other crimes that were committed? yes. of course that's going to make donald trump jump out of his socks. he's in hanoi. he just got epically trolled by michael cohen thousands of miles away. he did to trump what trump has done to everyone else. he has damning testimony, he's insulted him personally and trump's in a box halfway around the world and can't do anything about it. the next leg of this, i think, is people inside the trump organization are going to start to have to decide do they take care of themselves, do they take care of trump or do they try to find a middle ground? i don't think they're going to ultimately be able to have a middle ground. >> mimi, how does that work? >> well, i mean, it sounds like allen weissleberg, for one, has already made a decision about that. he reportedly has an immunity agreement with the southern district. >> i want to be careful there because i don't know for sure, but just based on

tim o'brien was the first person to said the words allen weissleberg to me when he identified the chief financial officer of the trump organization as a key player in the investigation of the trump business. we heard michael cohen making repeated references today to allen weissleberg, who may now be called before that committee. and no one can take up inside the trump business -- no one can talk about the inside of the trump businesses better than tim o'brien. so we're very lucky to have him here tonight. and we have a first guest tonight who has played a very special role in the michael cohen story for me personally. you know, whenever i meet members of our audience out there in the world walking down the street or in the airport, you always ask me what's going to happen next, and i always tell you that i don't know because i don't know anything that i'm not telling you right here, and that has always been

heidi allen, anna soubry and sarah wollaston have resigned. what is your reaction? disappointing. it is very sad and disappointing. it is very sad and disappointing. this all began on monday when seven labour mps quit their party. they have now been joined by an eighth, joan ryan, and there are warnings more could follow. i could no longer ask people to vote forjeremy corbyn to be prime minister of this country, because i don't believe he is fit to because i don't believe he is fit to be prime minister of this country. this is no longer a i—party issue. labour mps this is no longer a i—party issue. labourmps and this is no longer a i—party issue. labour mps and conservative mps are both saying we have had enough, we can no longer support the party we have been members of the years. the impact of this will ultimately have on the political landscape will not be clear for weeks on the political landscape will not be clearfor weeks or on the political landscape will not be clear for weeks or months, but what is clear is that their historical allegiances of parliament ar

allen weisselberg. >> allen worked frd donald's father. allen had one of the first officers when trump moved into trump tower. he has a staff which is weird for anybody at a trump organization. >> why is that? >> because people don't -- he runs a very lean operation. >> the only person with staff is supposed to be trump. >> this isn't a criticism of the trump administration. but you do your work and you have to do the work of five people when you work for donald trump. and he's somebody that the president greatly trusts. also he's handled all the finances. now, another issue -- >> if he got subpoenaed and he was coming to capitol hill, how nervous would donald trump be? >> he would personally hate it. allen prepares all the final statements. >> and they go over what to say. >> i could have to send trump reports of certain things. allen has to send him updates. >> i want to bring up the name of matthew calamari. said who could give us more information about potential insurance fraud? tell us who he is. >> matthew, by the way, very disliked

allen weisselberg. alan garten of the trump organization, as well. >> who else knows that the president did this? >> allen weisselberg, ron lieberman, and matthew calamari. >> would don jr. or mr. weisselberg have more information about that? >> mr. weisselberg, for sure. >> "for sure." now, donald trump jr. and ivanka trump name checked by cohen. our cameras caught don junior at a conservative conference today, where he was basically trying to dodge any of those questions that many people have about what cohen said. you can dodge, you know, cameras, but you can't ignore investigators in the house when they have subpoenas. the house intel committee planning to call allen weisselberg, donald trump's cfo in, to testify. so this is what we are seeing and hearing from congress today. what we don't know is what else is happening with investigators who have even more tools in the southern district of new york. cohen hinting that they have investigations that are basically undisclosed. and he says he's in cons

he acknowledged to allen that he was going to pay the $130,000 and that allen and i should go back to his office and figure out how to do it. so, yes, sir, i stand by the statement that i gave, but there was a history to it. >> in your testimony you said you bought some checks, is that right? you said you bought some checks. >> yes, sir. >> let me ask you about one of these. this from the trump trust that holds the president's businesses, can you tell me who signed this check? >> i believe that the top signature is donald trump jr. and the bottom signature i believe is allen weisselberg's. >> and can you tell me the date of that check? >> march 17th of 2017. >> wait a minute. hold up. the date on the check is after president trump held his big press conference claiming that he gave up control of his businesses. how could the president have arranged for you to get this check if he was supposedly playing no role in his business? >> because the payments were designed to be paid over the course of 12 months and it was declared to be a retainer for services that would be provided for the y

(allen daviau) camera technique grew into a set of rules.ul but not so beautiful as to draw attention to itself. nor should the technique of camera movement nor cutting draw attention to itself. i remember a very sweet editor who did ann miller pictures at columbia when i was starting out. and he would bring me in and show me, "now you always start with a long shot. and then you work your way into the closer shots. and then over shoulder and then close-ups." in other words, you were taught a formal way. here's looking at you, kid. this polished surface became much more important, that the audience wasn't to notice cuts, the audience wasn't to notice camera movement. which was to the good in terms of non-interrupting the story. what i learned was to try to make editing seamless. you should never be aware of cuts. you want to feel as though that scene is taking place in front of your eyes as you speak, looking at a proscenium arch but you're much closer, you're much more involved.

the allens did more than share their piece with friends, they also went to the police.isaiah allen/dad"if it wasn't us, it could have potentially been someone else."in fact, an eyewitness news viewer sent us another incident."do you pay to maintain this?""i pay taxes, yes.""no, sir. you don't. we maintain this."the viewer, who didn't want to be identified, says a couple years ago neely also took aim at his cell phone during a photo shoot.natswe reached out to neely about this incident, she says she reacted after the man taunted her about where she lived."sounds like a terrible life."she also responded to the recent incident saying, "i am very sorry that i got upset on late saturday afternoon. putting it in context, however: i saw three commercial photographer shoots in one block at the same time, something that happens frequently. when i explained the situation to the first and third groups, they were respectful. the couple whose photo shoot obstructed the walkways was not. it's hard to remain composed when confronted by shouted threats of lawsuits and false, inflammatory accusations."

and ceo allen weisselberg, is that correct? >> that is correct. >> you said monthly invoices containing false information to an individual identified as executive one, weisselberg is executive one, correct? >> yes. >> the criminal charge against you then states that executive one forwarded your invoice to someone referred to as executive two, presumably donald trump jr., who's signing this check at executive two, correct? >> i believe so. >> as federal prosecutors laid out in their criminal charges, payments like this check resulted in numerous false statements in the records and books of the trump organization. it's important for america to understand this, nothing to do with collusion, this is garden variety variety and fraud. it was disguised as a payment for legal services but this was not a payment for legal services, was it, mr. cohen? >> no, sir. >> it could rise to federal, state and criminal liability if a corporation is cooking its books. based on your testimony today, donald trump jr. and allen weisselberg directed t

the bottom signature i believe is allen weisselberg's. allen weisselberg. allen weisselberg.s signed by allen weisselberg. >> are there other people we should be meeting with? >> so allen weisselberg. >> chuck rosenberg, kaiser sosa the cohen hearings of the perhaps investigations out of the sdny. allen weisselberg i understand had narrow limited immunity around certain questions but not a cooperating witness. will he become one? why is he so important? >> he's important nicolle because he's been around the trump organization and mr. trump for a long time. these are the types of people who are important witnesses because they see stuff, they read stuff, they hear stuff, they just hang around. so weisselberg couldn't be having a good day yesterday. he's probably not having a particularly good day today either. and i imagine -- i should say there's a problem with him testifying before congress, which is that he very well may have a fifth amendment issue, meaning that a truthful answer to questions may tend to incriminate him. he would only want to testify with immunity. and thi

allen weisselburg, allen garden, the trump organization as well. >> thank you very much for your testimony. this is a story of redemption. >> mr. cohen, in your testimony, you stated you began work for the trump organization as a lawyer dealing with real estate transactions is that correct? >> that's correct. >> prior to coming to congress, i served as a director of two different banks. i've seen hundreds of loan applications. and to try to determine your credibility here today, i just wanted to ask you a couple of real estate transaction questions just to see how, in fact, you operate. according to the southern district of new york city prosecutors, you lied to banks to secure loans by falsely stating the amount of debt you're carrying. mr. cohen, my question to you, was it donald trump's fault that you knowingly committed a crime of deception to defraud a bank? >> no, it's not. >> was that fraudulent loan you obtained for the trump organization or for you personally? >> it would be for me, though i'm not familiar with which loan you're referring to. i would like to say one thing -- >> mr

and allen weisselberg. >> all right. so who are we to believe? >> well, the white house's account of this entire affair was inconsistent from the outset. they first denied any knowledge whatsoever of the allegation. then you saw the president try and shift the onus toward michael cohen. but the president is named in a court filing as individual one having directed michael cohen to make this payment to stormy daniels in an attempt to influence at least the perception leading into the 2016 election. and michael cohen really did lay out in great detail how intimately involved the president was in overseeing every step of this payment from signing a check, also implicating donald trump jr. in signing one of the other checks to reimburse michael cohen. but even having knowledge of michael cohen having used a home equity line to make that payment. so, you know, i think there's obviously going to be an effort by the white house to attack cohen's credibility. yes, he has been convicted of lying to congress. but he's about to go to prison. he's testifying

he acknowledged to allen that he was going to pay the 130,000 and that allen and i should go back to his office and figure out how to do it. so, yes, sir, i stand by the statement that i gave but there was a history to it. >> in your testimony you said you bought some techs, is that right? let me ask you one of these. this from the trump trust that holes the president businesses. can you tell me who >> i believe that the top signature is donald trump jr. and at the bottom, the signature, i believe is allen weisselberg's. >> can you tell me the date of that check? >> march 17th of 2017. >> now wait a minute. hold up. the date on the check is after president trump held his big press conference claiming that he gave up control of his businesses. how could the president have arranged for you to get this check if he was supposedly playing no role in his business? >> because the payments were designed to be paid over the course of 12 months, and it was declared to be a retainer for services that would be provided for the year of 2017. >> was there a retainer agreement? >> there was no reta

. >> alan weisselberg, allen weisselberg in the office with me was allen weisselberg. so allen weisselberg is the chief financial officer. >> allen weisselberg as you just heard cohen mention there is the top money man within the trump organization. he handles not only the company's finance but he oversaw the president's personal transactions like checks and other dealings. trump reimbursed him for hush money cohen paid to silent the story of stormy daniels. weisselberg has limited immunity in the hush money case but what does that mean for his role regarding the other allegations cohen brought up, ie, trump misusing his charity or filing false information to avoid taxes. all questions people will be exploring. barbra rez is back. how one woman changed the face of construction. she was an executive vice president at the trump organization working for donald trump for 18 years. >> on and off. >> on and off for 18 years. let's run through some of these names. we just talked about allen weisselberg. >> he came from brooklyn and he did the billing and the paying the bills.

and allen weisselberg. and see for that example 5 b. the president of the united states thus wrote a personal check for the payment of hush money as part of a criminal scheme to violate campaign finance laws. and you can find the details of that scheme directed by mr. trump in the pleadings in the u.s. district court for the southern district of new york. so picture in scene. in february of 2017, one month into his presidency, i'm visiting president trump in the oval office for the first time. and it's truly you a inspiring. he is showing me all around and pointing to different paintings. and he says to me something to the effect of, don't worry, michael, your january and february reimbursement checks are coming. they were fedexed from new york. and it takes a while for that to get through the white house system. as he promised, i received the first check for the reimbursement of $70,000 not long there after. when i say conman, i'm talking about a man who declares himself brilliant but directed me to threaten his high school, his colleg

allen weisselberg was there this entire time. it goes back to the dad. >> yeah, i think allen weisselberg is somebody we need to talk to and donald trump jr. is someone it's looking like we need to talk to. i think we need to go back through all of the testimony from today, the lines of questioning, digest it and strategize from here. it with australia lot to take in. >> but you want to call don jr., allen weisselberg? >> i would like to. i don't get to make that call ultimately, but i think that's certainly where my head is at right now. >> just in terms of what stood out to you today, i mean obviously your advantage point is different than the viewers at home. what do you think were the most important takeaways? >> i guess it depends on what you're looking for. i mean, one of the big takeaways for me is it really does look like a sitting president committed a crime. very serious crime. while he was this the oval office. and all of the other pieces -- >> and that crime is the -- going through with the hush payments, reimbursing

heidi allen has been a vocal critic over universal credit.e. anna soubry over the party were languishing its one nation credentials and business credentials. they have a range of disagreements. the other thing i do think is significant is that these are three women. that matters if you think part of the beef with brexit is its regards in parliament as a sort of all boys club. the decision of these three to go just changes the complexion of the new party, gives it a different feel and makes it slightly more inclusive. that may also make it more attractive. i suppose the question for mrs may is, how does she ensure that no one else follows them? there will be other tories thinking if these three have gone, why shouldn't i goat as well? what will be interesting is the response of team name because we have seen a very divided response from jeremy corbyn. we have seen the softly, softly approach ofjohn mcdonnell, everyone come down, and then the much either response from then the much either response from the likes of jeremy then the much either r

chairman, what do you -- >> allen weisselberg allen weisselberg, donald trump jr., weisselberg, will you talk to them? >> yeah, we probably will. there are certain areas we've got to be careful with because special counsel and southern district of new york and others have basically said that there are things that they're looking in to. there are a number of areas that we couldn't even get into and didn't get into that they're looking in to. this is -- i think that there are still a number of shoes to drop. >> so on the number of shoes to drop, right, and so many people obviously have been making such a huge deal about mueller and potential collusion but really isn't this about finances, sdny -- >> it's about new york. >> it's about new york. >> absolutely. maybe trump can't be prosecuted but the trump organization can be and it derives its liability for any crimes from the people who act within it, so that's well within the prospects i think for the southern district or the attorney general of new york. >> are you surprised and i know allen weisselberg allen weisselberg presumably ma

he acknowledged to allen that he was going to pay the $130,000 and that allen and i should go back to his office and figure out how to do it. so, yes, sir, i stand by the statement that i gave that there was a history to it. >> in your testimony you said you brought some checks, is that right? you said you brought some checks? >> yes, sir. >> let me ask you about one of these. this from the trump trust that holds the president's businesses, can youell me this ? >> believe tch signature is donald trump jr. and that the bottom signature i believe is allen weisselberg's. >> and date of that check? >> march >> the date of the check is after president trump held his big press conference claiming that he gave up control of his businesses. . how could the president arranged for you to get this check if he was supposedly no role in his business? >> because the payments were designed to paid over the course of 12 months and it was declared to be a retainer for services that would be provided for the year. >> was there a>> w junr orr. meo about >> mr. aen weisselber fbo discussions and negotiat

our correspondent karen allen explains why. amazing stuff!t was a night of celebrations for newport county, as they secured their place in the fifth round of the fa cup. but goalkeeperjoe day wasn't hanging around. he was off for a double — or should i say treble? — celebration. off goes the goalkeeper to just check on his phone... about to get news that his wife had just given birth to twins. they came out 13 minutes past eight, sophia was born, wasn't she? yes. and 8:35 emelia was born, so i didn't know that at the time when i ran off the pitch at the end. so until i got in the car and rang lizzie, i didn't know what was going on. after an earlier false alarm, joe had urged his wife to hang on until the final whistle, but as midwives offered full match commentary with lizzie in labour, there was no question of extra time. "these girls are not going to wait for him," and then they were like, "we're just going to have to get them out," so that was it was kind of like just they are not going to wait, they have to come out! twins sophia and eme

to what you're saying is that as a vote, you are annoyed on the decisions of anna soubry, heidi allen perhaps they did not have another choice. there was another choice, thatis choice. there was another choice, that is what the labour leader said about leaving the labour party, have about leaving the labour party, have a by—election, it suddenly your conscience got the better of youth 18 months in and however many months to be ina 18 months in and however many months to be in a particular party, you wa ke to be in a particular party, you wake up one morning and i cannot bear this now. —— wollaston.” wake up one morning and i cannot bear this now. -- wollaston. i am sure people about it and can considered for a very long time. sure people about it and can considered for a very long timeli do not think it was considered for a very long time for one reason, we had an election 18 months ago, it could have done it back then and the other reason is vista is happen in ingres politics, it happens for example in india's the world's largest democracy, but it doesn't happen in england. is that m

heidi allen says, i am tired of feeling numb, iwant allen says, i am tired of feeling numb, i want tothis area. what the prime minister has done a racial disparity audits, the commitment she has made, the parity of esteem for mental health in the national health service, her action on the gender pay gap, all of these are things which address the areas heidi in particular has always been so concerned about but there is no getting away from the fact the brexit issue is distracting us, all of us, from getting on with the very important domestic agenda. and i know the prime minister is desperate to get this brexit issue resolved, so to get this brexit issue resolved, so that you can get back to delivering on the commitment she made on the steps of downing street injuly, 2016, made on the steps of downing street in july, 2016, which made on the steps of downing street injuly, 2016, which is what she sees as her core mission in politics and she is just desperate to be able to get on with delivering it. on that note, people may have read the letter these three wrote to the prime minister and

for heidi allen.s communicating which is, if in her view this new group do theirjob properly, there won't be a tory party to go back to. it is a pretty strong statement to have made. i don't know if i would put "kill" there but it fits neatly in the headline. it is quite surprising. maybe people were expecting a couple of tory deflections, but particularly anna soubry who has been in the tory ra nks soubry who has been in the tory ranks for so long and so integral to the cameron project, still leading toa the cameron project, still leading to a lot of their ideology and what people would perceive to be a modern tory, for her to have made this move caught more of the anti—soubry voices and departed by surprise. lot of blameless place at the door of the erg as well. yes, and such early dates for this party. 0r of the erg as well. yes, and such early dates for this party. or for this group that will become a party. ido this group that will become a party. i do wonder if one of them —— if one of the main

let‘s hear a flavour of what they had to say — starting with heidi allen.party of economic competence but when we allowed a cabinet minister to say f business, and we have a prime minister bullied into submission, by the erg, and is now dragging the country and parliament kicking and screaming to the edge of a no—deal abyss — i‘m done. and i think what we now see is a party that was once the most trusted on the economy and business, is now marching us towards the cliff edge of a no—deal brexit. i have been saying for weeks if it became main party policy to deliver no deal, then, i would have to leave. i am afraid there comes a point when running down the clock is in effect the same thing, and none of us are prepared to wait until our toes are at the cliff edge before we can take a stand. to remind people who feel abandoned and not represented by the two parties, we shout your dreams and aspirations. we three have never been your so—called typical tory. like everyone, we are tired of labels, tired of tribalism, and we are tired of british politics being domi

he acknowledged to allen that he was going to pay the $130,000 and that allen and i should go back to his office and figure out how to do it. so, yes, sir, i stand by the statement that i gave, but there was a history to it. >> in your testimony, you said you brought some checks, is that right? you said you brought some checks. >> yes, sir. >> let me ask you about one of these. this -- from the trump trust that holds the president's businesses. can you tell me who signed this check? >> i believe that the top signature is donald trump, jr. and at the bottom signature, i believe it's allen weiselburg's? >> can you tell me the date? >> march 17th, 2017. >> the date on the check is after president trump held his big press conference claiming he gave up control of his businesses. how could the president have arranged for you to get this check if he was supposedly playing no role in his business? >> because the payments were designed to be paid over the course of 12 months and it was declared to be a retainer for servi services that would be provided for the year. of 2017. >> was there a

and allen weisselberg. and see for that example 5 b. the president of the united states thus wrote a personal check for the payment of hush money as part of a criminal scheme to violate campaign finance laws. and you can find the details of that scheme directed by mr. trump in the pleadings in the u.s. district court for the southern district of new york. so picture in scene. in february of 2017, one month into his presidency, i'm visiting president trump in the oval office for the first time. and it's truly you a inspiring. he is showing me all around and pointing to different paintings. and he says to me something to the effect of, don't worry, michael, your january and february reimbursement checks are coming. they were fedexed from new york. and it takes a while for that to get through the white house system. as he promised, i received the first check for the reimbursement of $70,000 not long there after. when i say conman, i'm talking about a man who declares himself brilliant but directed me to threaten his high school, his colleg
