andy mccabe last week. that was pretty interesting. but he's not certainly as major a figure as michael cohen.hear michael cohen tell the story of stormy daniels, of karen mcdougal, that's going to be very different from listening to dweebs like me talk about it. i just think that's going to be important. >> or even the reporting we get out of pleadings made in court or actual court proceedings where we're not seeing them. we talk about all of these revelations and whether they impact public opinion. it's different when you have a witness testifying before congress that has the ability to make this a dramatic moment. and some of the details he is likely to talk about speak to how donald trump protects himself. protects secrets and his image. no reason to think there's much difference in how he's handled himself as a private citizen and president. and that's what's being investigated is whether he's treated the oval office as he has his personal empire and no different with a kind of disrespect for the trappings of the presidency. that's what will be so revealing potentially about this testimon

know, their people close to michael cohen that say part of the reason he's turned so drastically on the president is because he wanted to be part of the administration. andy figure because of their proximity and closeness that the president would reward him with that. what you think? >> he was fleecing some of the companies. shame on some of the big brands and companies that were paying him hundreds of thousands of dollars thinking they were going to get some sort of special access. he was selling the excess without informing the white house. doing something illegal he should not have done. the guy, such a bad background. when you're convicted and admitted and you are now going to jail because you got to congress, how do you know what to believe? kennedy: he was in a lot of trouble in the past. he apparently didn't go to a very reputable law school. president is a multibillionaire. why wouldn't he have a better attorney that close to him? >> that's a hard question for donald trump. you are the one employed him and kept him by your side. i think it is a legitimate question. there are some consequences with being with someone so shady along the way. but doe

bring in michael cohen that will come in and tell all kinds of crazy things about the present we know were not true because he cannot be trusted either. we should have rod rosenstein and andyr oath with the oversight committee. to ask the questions everyone answers to. most importantly being who was in the room and they talked about wearing a wire and invoking the 25th amendment. we want to know that. lou: reasonable question i guess, you have to depend on the testimony of two liars. as you suggest it is quite a circus that the democratic committee chairman putting together. let's turn to, speaking of democratic committee chairman, adam schiff. who does not seem any longer to have any confidence in robert muller. suddenly he's talking about going off in his own investigations of russian collision. what is going on here? >> i will tell you this, lou, my main concern with chairmanship, two years ago i called for devin nunes to step down and step aside for a while as chairman. now we learned a few weeks ago that adam ischiff was meeting with simpson and colorado. and i do not hear, i don't hear anything from democrats more portly from the speaker of the house, only for him to

andy laurel, maryland. about: i wanted to talk the north korea summit as well as the michael cohen thing. was afraid that donald trump would try to make news to distract from the hearing by making a deal. that would have been bad for the country. i'm glad he walked away because that showed there is some reason with whoever is helping guide his decision that he had -- that he did not just make some stupid deal that gave too many concessions away. host: louisiana is next. we will hear from lorraine in covington. caller: hi, i watched all the hearing. hearing toink the the korean summit. acrossichael cohen came or presented some documentation for what he was saying, as a whole, i think he came across as a cheap conmen. with two goalsan in mind. one is to bring down the president and then to write a book. he says he is going to write a book. he was asked the question directly. he said yes he is to make the money off of what he has accomplished or not. i guess what disturbed me the most is that this hearing took place while our president was in summit trying the to work for peace. of that ofno

andy mccarthy -- that the southern district holds more legal jeopardy. we know they are looking at other threads. i do think there will be followed questions about the wikileaks conversation that cohentified to. the alleged conversation. donald trump answered questions under oath in response to the special counsel, including, "did you ever discuss wikileaks with roger stone?" and he answered no. if there is evidence to corroborate it -- and that is a big "if" -- >> harris: that's a big part. because you know you have a known criminal lawyer on deck. so that's the big part. what can you corroborate? at >> marie: we will see. >> harris: we will move on. although the president left vietnam with no deal, history was made when kim jong un took questions from foreign reporters for the very first time. is that in itself a significant step forward? and a sign that the president's approach is working. >> [speaking korean] translator i wouldn't be here right now change that. newday's operation home. it lets veterans buy a home with no down payment and without paying one dollar out of pocket for closing costs. no down payment and not one dollar out of pocket for closing costs. why rent when yo

andy, including the southern district of new york. can i ask about what catherine was talking about in regards to roger stone and wikileaks and this phone call that supposedly michael cohen says he overheard between president trump and roger stone. roger stone then apparently sent out one line that says michael cohen is lying. what do you make of all of that? >> well, two things, dana. i think you have to bear in mind with everything that cohen has to say we're not hearing anything today that he hasn't already told the two sets of prosecutors, both from the southern district of new york and mueller's prosecutors. i would note in the roger stone indictment, there's a whole story about, well, the leaks, dnc e-mail dump and the podesta dump. the story that cohen is telling, to my mind, does not square up with what mueller has in his indictment. according to mueller's indictment days after the dnc leak happened, you had conversation between cohen -- not cohen, stone and jerry corsi, when he said we have to figure out a way to get to assange, i understand there may be another disclosure of e-mails and it relates to the clinton foundation. now, if stone had a way to contact as

that was scored on the michael cohen and whether it had anything to amount of stories amounting to payoffs. bottom line it could get messy there, attorney andrew sullivan. andyere do you think it's going? >> inning 2 of 9-inning ball game. i think you will likely see investigation into mr. pecker, there's a chance the immunity deal could be turned up which is a huge, huge problem and i would be shocked if mr. bezos doesn't file a lawsuit against mr. packer and his company as well and potentially, hulk hogan, peter. neil: the one thing that confuses me, it's a legitimate story that the world's richest man, the text and everything else, fooling around, that would have been a legitimate story regardless wouldn't it, how is bezos then going to try to make the extortion lead, what are they going to use? >> well, i think the inquirer went one step too far because yes, it's a valid story that he's cheating on his wife and there are these texts, the big problem comes if, indeed, what mr. bezos allege is true that the national inquire in effect threatened him and said, if you do not kill this story and in effect come forward and says it had nothing to do with politic

wanted like andy mccabe, like james comey, same kind of selfish motivation after you don't get the thing you want. i see that today and i think that is what the american people see. mr. cohen: all i wanted was to be personal attorney to the president, to enjoy the senior year of my son in high school and waited for my daughter who was graduating from college to come back to new york. i got exactly what i want. rep. jordan: exactly what you want? mr. cohen: i received exactly what i wanted. rep. cummings: gentlemen your time has expired. >> mr. cohen, thank you for being here today. asyou likely know, i serve the chair of the democratic national committee at the time of the russian hack. when russia recognized the stolen. it had i want to be clear, my questions are not about the harm done to any individual by wikileaks and the russians, it is about the possible and likely harm to the united states and our democracy. i have a series of questions which are hopeful connect these dots. is it your testimony mr. trump had advance knowledge of the russia we can leaks release of the dnc's emails? mr. cohen: i can't answer that in a yes or no. he had advance notice that there was go

cohen was lying then, why should we believe him now? this is a legitimate question. as a trial lawyer for many years, i have faced this situation over and over again andi faced this situation nts truth. the president has made many statements of his own and now the american people have a right to hear the other side. they can watch mr cohen's testimony and make their own judgment. we received a copy of his written statement late last night. it includes not only personal eye witness accounts of meetings with donald trump as president inside the oval office but it also includes documents and other corroborating evidence for some of mr cohen's statements. for example, mr cohen provided a copy of a cheque sent while president trump was in office with donald trump as mike signature on it to reimburse mr cohen for the hush money payment to stormy daniels. this new evidence raises a host of troubling, legal and ethical concerns about the president was mike actions in the white house and before. would you close that door, please? thank you. this cheque is dated august one 2017. six months later, in april of 2018, the president denied anything about it. in april 2018, president trum
