athena jones is at white house. we are learning more about this tribute, this statement about john mccain that had been drafted by the white house but never released. what more do we know? >> reporter: that's right. a person familiar says white house aides drafted what's being described as a full statement for president trump on the death of senator mccain, that the statement went through the white house internal review process and that several staffers thought it would be released saturday when mccain passed away. that is not what happened. "the washington post" reports that white house chief of staff john kelly, sarah sanders and others urged the president to release the statement calling mccain a hero, praising him for his service. the president instead said he wanted to issue a brief tweet. let's put that tweet up on the screen. he issued the similar statement on his instagram account. my deepest sympathies and respect go out to the family of senator mccain. our hearts and prayers are with you. offering condolen

our national correspondent athena jones joins us right now. what did prosecutors want to know from weisselberg that would have required an immunity deal? >> hi, wolf. a source familiar tells us that weisselberg's interview happened weeks ago and that it focused on michael cohen and the hush money payments to two women who said they had affairs with trump, which trump denies. weisselberg is a major player, in the secret reporting from a few weeks ago, cohen says he consulted with weisselberg, and in the plea deal, he's referred to as executive one, who arranged $420,000 in payments to cohen to pay him back for the payment he made to stormy daniels. he wrote -- please pay from the truth, post to legal expenses when he forwarded the invoices to another executive. it's very clear that he's played a key role. >> athena how big a there et to president trump is it that prosecutors are talking to weisselberg? >> this is certainly a big deal. we're talking about a person who has been working for trump for decades. he is the chief finance officer for th

cnn national correspondent athena jones is following the latest developments. what do we know? >> hi, ryan. we know as of this morning, representative collins has announced he is suspending his campaign for re-election. he will fill out the remainder of his term. here's part of the statement he put out. he said after extensive discussions with my family and friends over the last few days, i've decided it is in the best interest of the constituents of new york 27, the republican party and president trump's agenda for me to suspend my campaign for re-election to congress. as i mentioned, he is still going to fill out the remainder of his term. and this latest announcement comes just a few days after he insists not only on his innocent, not only that he's not guilty, but that he was going to fight these charges which he calls meritless. now it's clear under some pressure he has decide to step aside, ryan. >> and athena, we do have some reporting that officials there in new york will likely nominate colins for a town clerkship. this is because new york has strict rules as it relate

cnn correspondent athena jones tells us what to look forward as this case moves forward.r: this after a week of damaging revelations. many of them coming from rick gates. the government's star weakness from the trial. manafort ple gates is cooperating with the government as he's trying to convict his former boss on 18 counts. this is the first of two trials his former campaign chairman faces in virginia and washington, d.c. the virginia case presenting the first big test for special counsel robert mueller. he is investigating the russian meddling of the 2016. before leaving, questions of his lobbying work and the payments he received totaled more than $60 million. the government alleges manafort hid millions and lied about his income and spending big on items like expensive suits and yankees tickets and ostrich jacket. >> he testified he and manafort had 15 foreign accounts that they did not report to the government even though they knew it was illegal. manafort instructed him not to submit the required forms. gates testified that manafort recommended a banker who loan hi

cnn national correspondent athena jones joins us from the white house. wi where did those comments come from? >> this is a warning against complacency, warning his voters, many of whom are vales that they need to go to the polls in the midterm elections in november even though he's not on the ballot, why? because if democrats take control there will be violence. that's the warning he told a dinner of evangelical leaders monday night at the white house. he said it's not a question of like or dislike, it's a question that they would overturn everything we've done and they will do it quickly and violently. there is violence when you look at antifa, these are violent people. now we need to stress here, erica, there is no evidence that there would be violence should democrats take control of congress. congress has changed hands in the past without there being violence and if democrats have the votes to make the changes they want to make they don't need to resort to violence but what's important is this talk of antifa which has become a boogie man of the right
