take a listen to rudy giuliani with chris cuomo last night here on cnn. >> i never said there was nolusion between the campaign or between people in the campaign. >> yes, you have. >> i have no idea if -- i have not. i said the president of the united states. there's not a single bit of evidence the president of the united states committed the only crime he could commit here, conspire with the russians to hack the dnc. he said he didn't. he didn't say nobody -- how would you know nobody in your campaign -- >> he actually did say that. >> as you can so from chris cuomo's arched eyebrow, he and we were all surprised by rudy giuliani's statement because the president repeatedly vouched for people in his campaign. take a listen. >> there is no collusion between me and my campaign and the russians. there is no collusion between certainly myself and my campaign. there has been no collusion between the trump campaign and russia. there was no collusion between the trump campaign and the russian people. >> and so the question is, what's going on here? what's going on behind the scenes? it app

the chris cuomo look, is it like that? >> he didn't move his head. it is all in the eyebrows. >> i don't have them. >> it is thurks januasday, janu. >> that is why i'm on at 4:00 a.m. >> it is day 27 of the government shutdown. collusion evolution authored by rudy giuliani. president trump's lawyer deploying a new strategy that would insulate the president from possible crimes. he says he is not ruling out the possibility other members of the campaign colluded with russia. >> i never said there was no collusion between the campaign or between people in the campaign. >> yes, you have. >> i have not. i said the president of the united states. there is not a single bit of evidence that the president of the united states committed the only crime you could commit here, conspired with the russians to hack the dnc. >> so giuliani claims he never said the campaign didn't collude with russians. a couple problems though. one, his client has said otherwise repeatedly. >> there was no collusion between the trump campaign and the russian people. there was no coll

the chris cuomo look, is it like that? >> he did

the first thing i thought when i saw that interview, you can kind of chuckle at chris cuomo's face, but it was also very important because it communicated just how false what rudy giuliani was saying was. >> it was incredulous. chris was sort of looking at him saying, with his face, with his eyes, are you kidding me? and, you know, as you know, rudy has tried to walk it back today, saying he's only the president's lawyer, et cetera, et cetera. but just hearing him say that means that he is actually listening or watching, which of course i assume he is, what's going on with the special counsel. manafort, gates cooperating. you can't miss those things. and that spells collusion. >> and, joe, giuliani serves this interesting role. he frequently says things -- the first time he did it, we thought, oh, my goodness, is he not on the same page as the president? then over time we saw that he would come out and say something. he is sometimes getting ahead of a revelation or saying something different than what the president has said, and there is ray reason for why he is saying it. with that in

liz: cnn chris cuomo, a lone voice in the media. and raped viciously for saying this look at the border guys. they say we do need better barriers on the border. we need to spend money on it. watch. >> there is a barrier system all along the southern border. they need more. anybody does the reporting or talk to people down there doing the work, men and women, they need more of what the president is increasingly describing as his own idea for a barrier fence. liz: msnbc hopping on the bandwagon saying, you know what? the whole debate that the president, the president is wrong. let's listen to what they are saying. watch.>> this exerciser everybody, networks, the democrats, everyone is acting as if he is fit. and taking part in this colossal waste of time, which would be this presidency. instead of looking at it. and saying, this person is not fit to lead. and acting on that fact. i'm not sure why it's not happening. liz: let's bring back our power panel. it is interesting that cuomo is saying listen to the border guys. but the media i

hours later that's what you heard from chris cuomo over at cnn. sean thank you very much. good to see you tonight. >> good to see you. >> martha: will democrats return the money they received from mega donor ed over this, after a second man was found dead in his house. governor mike huckabee up next. >> the individual came over, had already been partying, apparently had already taken some substances. i don't keep track of regrets. i never count the wrinkles. and i don't add up the years. but what i do count on, is staying happy and healthy. so, i add protein, vitamins and minerals to my diet with boost®. boost® high protein nutritional drink has 20 grams of protein, along with 26 essential vitamins and minerals your body needs. all with guaranteed great taste. the upside- i'm just getting started. boost® high protein be up for life. . >> martha: there are brand new developments tonight on a story we told you about first last night. for the second time in less than two years a black man was found dead at the home of ed buck! a prominent democratic donor who has reportedly g

our chris cuomo asking him important questions, good questions. and then, of course, what's probably on a lot of people's minds is what exactly is the game plan here for roger stone. the question of whether or not he expects some kind of pardon here from the president, here's what he told chris cuomo about that last night. >> it makes me think you must believe there's a light at the end of the tunnel. do you believe that light is not the train, he is the president and he will pardon you for keeping your mouth shut? >> i've never had any discussion with him or communication with him regarding that, very no idea what he might do. the only persons i have recommended a pardon for is i wrote a number of op eds as to why i think julian assange should be pardoned. he's a journalist that does the same thing the new york times and washington post do. i have come out and written a pardon for the president posthumously for marcus garvey. >> it is interesting to see him defending julian assange. wikileaks at the center of a lot of the information contained in

i agree with what chris cuomo was saying last night. one of the most damning indictments if you look at what the text messages and e-mails that roger stone sent and what he testified to before the house intelligence committee. totally avoidable. i have no understanding as a lawyer of how any lawyer would allow his client, his or her client to go on air like roger stone was doing yesterday, post indictment, and continue to pontificate about what he says, admit nothing, deny everything, counter attack. that's great in politics, it's lousy when you're dealing with the justice department. >> samantha, you mentioned it briefly. what do you think russia is watching here? >> i think russia is watching and laughing. we have a man, roger stone, who is a very close friend of the president, this is not someone in the president's outer circle, who is inept. he reportedly lied to congress in his letter to congress and his testimony about things that were documented in text message and e-mails. that doesn't scream that he was trying to cover his trac

listen to what he told our chris cuomo just last night. >> i never said there was no collusion between the campaign or between people in the campaign. i have no idea. i have not. i said the president of the united states, there is not a single bit of evidence the president of the united states committed the only crime you could commit here, conspired with the russians to hack the dnc. >> well, we have the old video that proves otherwise. meanwhile, president trump has repeatedly denied of course that he or anyone in his campaign coordinated with russia. >> there has been no collusion between the trump campaign and russiano russians or trump and russians. >> you remember that court file that say he may have concluded with the kremlin. they say paul manafort shared internal polling data with two kremlin-connected ukrainian oligarchs from a russian national linked to russian intelligence. >> the president's own lawyer just opened the door, and we are talking wide, wide open to the notion of collusion. he was basically saying, okay, so maybe there was some collusion. so why? why is he sayi

last night on cnn with chris cuomo the president's lawyer acknowledged that the trump campaign may have colluded with russians in 2016. he falsely claimed he had never said otherwise. here is the fiery rudy giuliani speaking to an incredulous cuomo. >> i never said there was no collusion between the campaign or between people in the campaign. >> yes, you have. >> i have no idea. i have not. i said the president of the united states. there is not a single bit of evidence the president of the united states committed the only crime you can commit here, conspired with the russians to hack the dnc. >> to be clear, giuliani has publicly denied collusion. many times. >> many. many, many times. as he put it he denied collusion with the top four or live people in the campaign which would include the one-time campaign chairman paul manafort who we now know funneled that polling data to a colleague linked to russian intelligence. giuliani's client could wallpaper mar-a-lago with his tweets denying collusion and declaring the mueller probe a witch hunt. this is by no means a comprehensive list. tal

and for lauderdale well no you know i look at anybody who's going to worry about what freight oh chris cuomo thinks is out of their mind anyway but what he said is part of a bigger problem a larger problem right it underscores it cuomo and the rest of his buddies over at c.n.n. brian stelter the m s n b c crew they automatically assume that anyone who is even perceived to be anti trump is their ally there was this expectation that robert muller was going to do their bidding by implying that maybe there was some weight to the buzz feed story which was not to look too anonymous sources but as you know peter peter carr muller spokesman comes out on the record he says there's nothing here it's completely wrong furthermore rudy giuliani a guy that's been out there beating beating the hell out of miller and his team agrees with them one time and says look i've spoken to miller's team as have the president's outside attorneys the other outside attorneys we all agree there's nothing there but speed got it completely wrong the mainstream media by the way still can't bring themselves to admit buzz fee

i want to hand it over to chris cuomo for "prime time." >>> i am chris cuomo. welcome to "prime time". is mueller is looking at misleading public statements to those to the press as proof of obstruction of justice as was just reported the president of the united states has trouble. we have two men who know the law and how to prosecute obstruction cases for the government. and they're here for cuomo's court. and to tackle the meeting between mueller and one of trump's campaign pollsters. how big a deal is it that manafort gave polling to a connected russian. plus the big news that michael cohen, the president's personal lawyer is going before congress and mueller said he's free to talk about whatever they want. and another big headline, the president now saying he will almost definitely declare a national emergency to build more wall. here's the big question. where will he get the money? wait until you hear where and whom he may take it from. a big night. let's get after it. >> all right. we learn that the mueller report is already in the process of being writte

this all mapd happenhappened in interview on cnn between rudy giuliani and chris cuomo. >> i never stlaid there was collusion between the campaign and people in the campaign, i have not. i said the president of the united states. there's not a single bit of evidence the president of the united states committed the only crime you could commit here, conspired with the russians to hack the dnc. >> i never said there was no collusion. >> yes, did he. >> with the campaign. >> and we have the tape to prove it. >> we'll get to that. but why would he make that claim last night? why now? what is he foreshadow something what does rudy giuliani know? >> president trump is repeatedly denied that he or anyone in his campaign, of course, cooperated with russia. >> there has been no collusion between the trump campaign and russians or trump and russians. no collusion. >> and rude swrooul hy giuliani defended that. >> the president did not -- >> he said knob hnobody had any contact. the guy running his campaign? >> he didn't say nobody, he said. >> was working on the campaign the same time as the convent

this is chris cuomo on c.n.n. about the buzz feed quote moeller didn't do the media any favors tonight and he did one he did do one for the president i mean if that doesn't show his open box his right there i mean that the thing is that i look at this and i look at it only as an exercise and i don't watch very much of it because it's very very repetitive it's not fact based and it is a lot of it is just ideological platitudes but he's actually showing what the what c.n.n. and amisom b.c. and others are like there's no self referral reflection is there about their behavior and how they see the world go ahead john and for fort lauderdale well no you know i look at anybody who's going to worry about what freight oh chris cuomo thinks is out of their mind anyway but what he said is part of a bigger problem a larger problem right it underscores it cuomo and the rest of his buddies over at c.n.n. brian stelter the m s n b c crew they automatically assume that anyone who is even perceived to be anti trump is their ally t

hands it ore to chris for cuomo "prime time." >> thank you i am chris cuomo.o "prime time." the president said good-bye to there was no collusion by anyone with russia. we no know his legal team only contest the idea the president did anything criminal. not people around him. not the campaign. question, could the president really not know what the people around him are up to? learning more about why his lawyer clings so tightly to the idea that if it ain't a felony it ain't a problem. more proof of

. >> let's check in with chris cuomo, and see what he's working on. officially owned the shutdown with what he did today and what he said about why he was doing it. not going to end the shutdown because i won't get what i want. he has chosen the wall over the workers like the one you just featured there. so tonight we have a man who was in the room where it happened, we have majority leader steny hoyer. what really happened? what does it really mean? what are the realities going forward, and then we're going to turn and look at the mueller situation and what is the exposure here? is it really just about manafort and what happened before he worked with this campaign, or does it lead somewhere far more troubling? >> chris, we'll join you in about five minutes from now. see you then. >>> coming up, everybody's talking about the wall, but not everybody wants to hear about it including the army chief of staff. what that's all about next. -omar, look. [ thunder rumbles ] omar, check this out. uh, yeah, i was calling to see if you do laser hair removal. for

. >> after making a statement today, roger stone spoke to my colleague chris cuomo moe today. he's not known for being shy or speaking out on camera. he explained to chris how he feels about the charges he faces. let's listen. >> first of all, i said there could be some process. >> yes. >> there's still no evidence, whatsoever i had advanced knowledge of the topic, subject with the source of wikileaks disclosures. i never received the wikileaks disclosures, i never communicated with them except the message i gave to the house intelligence committee, which i gave last september. >> stone denies any of the guilt in these charges. given the case prosecutors have built against him and from your expert opinion, how serious is this for him and what does it mean for the man he once advised? >> it's pretty serious and probably going to get more serious. when he calls a process crime is a series of lies to congressional committees who were investigating the supremely grave topic of whether russia interfered in the 2016 election. this is not a stray or immaterial statement to an fbi agen

no way, not on our watch, we've got to fight that. >> chris cuomo, thanks so much. see you in a few minutes. coming up, 13-year-old jamie floss escapes after being held captive for three months. first, a quick look at a cnn original series premiering this sunday, "american style." >> john kennedy had a style of a kind of wealthy upper class new england person. so was more casual than the sort of typical ruling class person. >> kennedy carried himself with simple style. it was never overthought, it was very much with ease. >> style matters with jack kennedy. and his style is grace under pressure. he defines cool. >> president kennedy's youth, his sartorial excellence, his great physique were all differentiators, i will say, from prior presidents. he looked fantastic. uh-oh! guess what day it is?? guess what day it is! huh...anybody? julie! hey... guess what day it is?? ah come on, i know you can hear me. mike mike mike...mike what day is it mike? ha ha! leslie, guess what today is? it's hump day. whoot whoot! ronny, how happy are folks who save hundreds of dollars sw

we have breaking news from president trump's lawyer, rudy giuliani telling chris cuomo that president trump did not collude with russia. he doesn't know if other people in the trump campaign did. more on that coming up. another question we'll dig deep on. will we the american people ever see mueller's report when he wraps up the russia investigation. he'll submit one to the attorney general. william barr who's expected to be confirmed, is only pledging to be as transparent as he can which is not an unequivocal, yes. growing questions of the relationship of vladimir putin and whether vladimir putin has the upper hand. in an extraordinary move a kremlin official addressed the question is president trump working for russia, calling it nonsense and stupid. what we know since taking office two years ago, trump met with putin on five occasions and often they meet privately. "new york times" reporting that trump does not brief his aid on what was said and after meeting with putin in germany, trump took his interpreter's note and instructed the interpreter not to say anything. also reporting

and here's how roger stone described last night to our chris cuomo. if he was asked to cooperate and he was asked to come in. here's what he had to say about that. >> you say you would not bare false witness, i think that's an interesting phrase. you are open to telling the truth. is there any chance that the truth you have to tell can compromise other people that were part of the campaign? >> certainly not the president. i have -- >> anybody? >> no information -- you know, i -- i have to know what the circumstances would be, it's highly unlikely, this idea that i was in regular contact with the campaign after paul manafort left is not true. frankly, i didn't have a high regard for many of the people working there. the people in the grassroots, yes, but the people in washington, many of them had no idea what they were doing. and they're not close associates of mine. so this idea that i was trying to curry favor with them, i have no reason to do so. >> it's important to keep in mind that the mueller team or the fbi would want roger stone to cooperate a

he wasn't shy at the time about boasting to others a different tune than he's now gave to chris cuomo. >> and to that point, you know, we did hear the white house press secretary come out and say this has nothing to do with the president or the white house. but it is very interesting to hear exactly how interconnected stone has been to the president from the mouth of a man who once head his campaign as a campaign adviser and is now a convicted felon. let's listen to paul manafort. >> even after roger stopped being the principle political adviser to trump. he continued to be a very important adviser and is to this day. roger's relationship with trump has been so interconnected that it's ha ready to define what's roger and what's donald. but it will be clearly a trump presidency, i think it's influenced by a stone philosophy. >> so what do you make of their relationship and what it means for the president now to have roger stone facing charges for lying, tampering and obstruction? >> yeah. i mean, i think it puts it at the threshold of grave jeopardy for trump. for starters, there the a

stone made his case during an enter you have with cnn's chris cuomo. >> when you say they have no proof have not seen an indictment connected to this probe than this one does of communication that proved that you didn't tell the truth to the congress, the congressional panel you were before? >> false. every one of those things is out of context. if you go to my website stone cold truth or watch any interviews i have actually refuted everything in there. then there are a bunch of things in there, frankly, i don't believe are true. no senior official told me anything about wikileaks. that doesn't mean mr. mueller can't induce somebody to say that but there's no corroboration for it. now, what i did hear from steve bannon, the day after assange had a press event on october 1st, as to what he said, i responded with two matters of public record. politico had already reported that he said there would be relesses every week for the next following weeks. and that all the u.s.-related campaign, or election-related material would be released in the weeks before the election. i also told them that

here is what the president's lawyer told a stunned chris cuomo on wednesday night. >> i never said there was no collusion between the campaign or between people in the campaign. >> yes, you have. >> i have not. i said the president of the united states. >> that claim by giuliani was false. he has often maintained there was no collusion by the campaign. then yesterday he told dana bash he never meant to send any new signals about what the mueller investigation might be finding and he followed that up with this defeat. my statements on collusion haven't changed. the misinterpretation has changed. the point is, i represent the president, not the campaign, but from both perspectives, there is no involvement in collusion with russians on the e-mail hack, the only possible crime. >>> the supreme court meets behind closed doors today to discuss a mystery case related to the special counsel's russia probe, it involves an unknowned foreign corporation that is fighting a subpoena request. lower courts have already ruled that the company must turnover the information requested and has imposed fines

we will hand it over to chris cuomo. >> i am chris cuomo and welcome to "primetime." a key center says there's a chance a shutdown could end when they vote on the pra proposals thursday. then, why is robert mueller seeking information on the trump campaign's ties to the nra? how does the president's lawyer's radical retakes affect that. and partisan america polarized over the lincoln memorial standoff. is this really over arguing over who is to blame but is there a bigger too bigger truth we all must agree on. what do you say? let's get after it. here's where we are, week five of the shutdown and now it's all but certain that hundreds of thousands of government workers with families and debts and needs will again miss their paychecks on friday. the hope for this week comes thursday, and one which is the president's offer on the wall largely in exchange for some relief for daca and temporary relief to workers and to re-open, and both measures, they do appear to be dead on arrival and here's why. democrats have the votes to block the president's proposal and vice versa.

outlining what he sees as a "crisis" on the southern border.top news personalities including cnn's chris cuomo, fox news channel's bret baier and abc's george stephanopoulos attended the tuesday lunch, which lasted about an hour and 20 minutes.white house counselor kellyanne conway says the group had a "robust exchange" and "questions were asked and answered."baier said on air that attendees agreed to quote only one line from the president: "it was wonderful having lunch with you today." but he said that the white house believes the wall is a winning issue for trump, whose refusal to sign a budget without billions for the border has forced a partial government shutdown.the no. 2 house democrat is blaming president donald trump for the partial government shutdown and says trump is holding the government "hostage." maryland democrat steny hoyer says tuesday that "in another context, we would call that an act of kidnapping or terrorism."hoyer says it would be akin to an imposition of martial law if trump declares a national emergency in order to unilaterally build a southwest border wall. he says

cnn's chris cuomo asked stone last night if i he thinks his loyalty will earn him a pardon? >> it makes me think that you must believe there is a light at the end of the trouble. you believe that light is not the train but it is the president and he will pardon you for keeping your mouth shut? >> i've never had any discussion with him or communication with him regarding that. i have no idea what he might do. the only persons that i have recommended a pardon for, is i wrote a number of op-eds as to why i think julian assange should be pardoned because i believe he is a journalist, he does the same thing as "the new york times" and the "washington post" do, and i have come out very strongly and written the president for a pardon, posthumously for marcus garvey. >> our crime and justice reporter shimon prokupecz joins us now. stone is as mant there is no evidence he, he is adamant there is no evidence he clouded with russia. >> he has been adamant for quite some time if you think about it. he wassed a mant when he went before members of congress. and mueller and his team have f

. >> chris cuomo's face says it all. extremely relatable. i think as we're having a conversation about this particular comment rudy giuliani made, it's important to take a step back and put it in context broadly. the context is the lawyers for the president of the united states and his top aides and people very close to him, the top outside representatives of his campaign, have been lying to the american people for years. they all should have and could have known better, and instead they're deliberately giving bad, incorrect information about an issue that pertains not just to election law and not just to the integrity of our electoral systems but also to core american national security interests. and in the big picture, grand scheme of things, it's impossible to avoid the significant implications of that. >> you worked for the woman who warned us this might happen. your thoughts? >> she was ahead of her time. watching that clip, i think you can turn the sound off and know everything you need to know watching chris cuomo's and rudy's face. t

i want to hand it over to chris for "cuomo primetime." chris?erference, to mess directly with robert mueller, our president takes putin's word over that of his own intelligence officials. what is going on here? now, many speculate about why the president and those around him do what they do regarding russia. tonight we can get answers from a man who should know some of those answers. he was there for a lot of what was said and done. former governor chris christie, former trump transition chief is here. he has a new look with inside scoop. >>> we're also learning new information tonight on the president's seething state of mind, when he put at thought hit tweet this morning on our nation's top intel chiefs. was that, itself, a threat to our national security?

i want to hand it over to chris cuomo for "prime time." >>> i am chris cuomo.ller is looking at misleading public statements to those to the press as proof of obstruction of justice as was just reported the president of the united states has trouble. we have two men who know the law and how to prosecute obstruction cases for the government. and they're here for cuomo's court. and to tackle the meeting between mueller and one of trump's campaign pollsters. how big a deal is it that manafort gave polling to a connected russian. plus the big news that michael cohen, the president's personal lawyer is going before congress and mueller said he's free to talk about whatever they want. and another big headline, the president now saying he will almost definitely declare a national emergency to build more wall. here's the

i am chris cuomo, welcome to primetime. robert mueller just dropped a new filing. evidence of paul manafort's lies after agreeing to cooperate. cuomo's court on what it confirms, what it conceals, and what we can read between the redr redactions. will bill bar protect the president that tapped him for the job or would he protect the integrity of the special counsel's probe? did his answer satisfy anxious democrats? we'll go one-on-one with a member of the senate judiciary committee, next. and the house stood as one today against steve king. in fact, even the congressman himself threw in a vote to condemn his own racist remarks. what do you say? let's get after it. look at the size of this baby. another fact filing filled with reasons that the mueller team believes manafort was up to no good while heading up to the trump campaign. not just before. not in his past life but then. it sends the message that this information is sensitive and that the investigation was over. it comes on the same day that rick gates had his sentencing delayed for at least the last couple of
