cohen: ms. gupta, since the section suspension of preclearance, holder-shelby, what's been the case of noncovered ones? have you seen the preclearance were in the previous be more activect found in een itigation to have been more active? s. gupta: private litigants have more greater -- and my ho, the chart shows there is a need for section 2 litigation in that were ns previously precleared or had a with the ce regime justice department. i also -- there's been a stark mark in contrast with the department in -- under the trump administration which as not opened a single voting rights investigation. but for the private litigants, he effort now to become aware of hyper local changes which are it n very hard to detect the -- at the national level, to why we're here today urge restoration of the voting rights act. mr. cohen: thank you. johnson, you're recognized for five minutes. mr. johnson: thank you, mr. chairman. adams, i watched you with a pensive reaction on your face. do you want to respond to

let's talk about michael cohen's cooperation here.has a view of what to say about trump and what he thinks about trump. where could there be a criminal violation by the president in regard to how he paid off stormy daniels? >> so it's early times in this investigation, chris. but what prosecutors seem to be focusing on is the idea that there would have been false business records that would have been submitted. normally that's a misdenener. but if you submit false business records in an effort to conseal another crime, here presumably a federal crime involving campaign finance fraud then it becomes a felony and you're really in hot water. >> because no one it seems to me would write into an accounting document for the irs or anyone else paid off porn star for night in wherever, wherever the hotel was. it doesn't seem he'd ever put that record together. so come up with something like entertainment costs. how would you file that information? it's a quarter million, in fact he paid almost up to $400,000 to pay tax kaus and everything els

cohen: ms. perez, what are the reasons for purges? ms. perez: we want our voter rolls to be cleaned because people have died, people have moved. people are no longer eligible because of a conviction. the problem we are seeing in this country is purges are on the rise. the protections that were once available to let the public and the department of justice know about purged practices and had changed or no longer available and when people are purged, they often find out on election day it's too late. mr. cohen: is the reason it's purges because people have not voted? ms. perez: a number of states have different practices that they use. every state in the country that is subject to the mbra has a process, by which someone is flagged for a certain reason, for removal, they can be given a notice. mr. cohen: let me go back to my question. do some jurisdictions purge you because you haven't voted within the last two years, four years, six years, whatever? ms. perez: there are some states that have poli

and part of it is the strange saga of michael cohen. and i really wonder what you think, now that we've taken it all in, it would be hard for people to understand at the beginning of this or if you saw this as a movie, how much ended up landing on mr. cohen's shoulders, including one of the longer sentences affiliated with the mueller probe. of course, it was handed off to new york. when he basically, apparently, did a lot of what was asked of him, first to help trump, some of which he later confessed to illegally, and what was asked of him by the congress. for context, we put together for your analysis, joyce, what donald trump said. he basically said, to use a common phrase, you better ask somebody, you better ask michael cohen, and ultimately the congress did. here was that condensed story. >> did you know about the $130,000 payments to stormy daniels? >> no. >> then why did michael cohen make it if there was no truth to the allegations. >> you would have to ask michael cohen. >> he asked me to pay off an adult film star with whom he

michael cohen makes a new agreement to tell all about the trump organization. then -- impasse as states star taking the matter into their own hands. and the scheme pulled off by north carolina republican while democrats were at a 9/11 commemoration.h >> if this is the way you believe democracy work, shame oi you. >> when "all in" starts right now."a >>> good evening from new hampshire. i'm ali velshi in for chris hayes. it's been only a day since the president fired his national security advisor john bolton or john bolton quit between who you ask.id a it's hard to pin down the exact reason for the split between the president's comments and different reports, it seems the two men disagreed on just about everything. for one we now know that one ofg the reasons trump got rid of bolton was because some of on trump's friends didn't like him either.fr >> take a look at what happened to gaddafi with the libyan model and he's using that to make a fi deal with north korea, and i don't kim jong-un for what he nothing to do with john bolton. >> so the north korean dictato

what michael cohen pled guilty to. the da is looking inwhether any state laws have been violated, if they filed a false statement and how they reimbursed michael cohen. so now as part of the investigation we reported last week the prosecutors went to prison and interviewed michael cohen. now they want to see the president's tax returns. so part of this is following the money trying to understand the source of these payments. the trump organization, according to a different indictment in the federal case involving michael cohen, with different prosecutors, in that case the prosecutors said the trump organization treated this as a legal expense, which they thought was improper. so you have the state authorities looking to say was this improper and could that violate state law. >> the next step, they talked to michael cohen in prison and now they want the tax returns. what options does the accounting firm have in responding to the subpoena? >> unlike the broader fight to get access to the president's business records betw

now they've interviewed michael cohen.ct to have them interview other people who might have some information about this, anderson. >> and has the trump organization responded tonight? >> yeah. so we did hear from one of the lawyers from the trump organization, mark mukasey. he gave us a statement saying when you lie down with dogs, you get up with fleas, an apparent reference to the credibility of michael cohen and how useful he may be to the prosecutors. >> but michael cohen worked for donald trump for many years, so was donald trump flea-infected? >> i think that's the question. >> i don't -- i'm not sure that's the greatest analogy for somebody you've employed for a long period of time. thank you very much. some perspective now from elliot williams, who served as deputy assistant attorney general under president obama. also with us, jeffrey toobin, cnn's chief legal analyst. is this -- i mean does this mean -- the fact that the southern district of new york just has handed over to cyrus vance's office, does this mean it

they charged and convicted cohen. a strange result.cutor have picked up the ball and what seems to be increase cloer they are trying to make a case related to the payment. from a different angle. the state law crime of falsifying business records. fst a low level crime. a misdemeanor. if they can show that the business record were falsitied and there was a tax consequence to it, that becomes a felony. a higher level crime. >> if they get their hand on it. what's the likelihood they'll be public? >> according to the reporting in the times, minimal. everyone i spoke to today in the sort of trump world. in new york real estate, believes that the president would fear not so much any criminal implications of this. what he doesn't want is his tax returns out there because back in the 1990s, he took a huge tax loss. which means he likely hasn't paid any income tax. it's not a great look for the person in charge of tax policy. if he actually hasn't paid any income tax. it remind people that actually his business went bust. back in the day. and

baron cohen and his colleagues conducted behavioral studies of children and adults. since they started by testing hormone levels in numerous samples of amniotic fluid the liquid that helps protect the fetus in the womb. we've measured the testosterone during the pregnancy in the womb in the amniotic fluid so this is the baby in the womb and some women during pregnancy have a clinical procedure called amniocentesis where a needle goes into that fluid to take out some of the florence and we can measure testosterone in the fluid and babies vary in terms of how much of the hormone they are exposed to so boys showed more and more testosterone than girls in the amniotic fluid. in the early stages of fetal development the genitalia show no signs of gender distinction. after approximately the 7th week of gestation a gene on the y. chromosome can activate a process that results in the development of testicles lyta testosterone plays a role in the development of masculine characteristics in several parts of the male fetus including the brain. while looking at these long term t

now cohen is one of many people that the state investigators want to interview.nvestigation is in the early stages and it began after federal prosecutors had closed their investigation in july and that is the investigation that michael cohen had pleaded guilty to where he implicated the president and this hush money payment scheme and why he's servicing this three-year prison sentence. so this investigation is in the early stages. a lawyer for the trump administration couldn't be reached for a comment and he called this a political hit job and one investigation that comes to an end, others continue to pop up so there is a lot of legal issues still swirling around the president and his business and his family, jake. >> thank you so much. appreciate that reporting. >>> in our sports lead, one of the nfl top wide receiver's antonio brown is being sued for rape. his former trainer is accusing him of multiple instances of sexual assault after he signed with the patriots. we must warn you, some of the details you're about to hear are rather graphic. >> when we know mor

cohen has already pleaded guilty to federal charges.nd again, this is a local new york district attorney. but they enforce the law too. the former lawyer is now an inmate serving three years in prison for among other crimes his role in procuring those payments to porn star stormy daniels, which constituted a campaign finance violation. let's not forget this. a case in which the president was an unindicted co-conspirator. back with us tonight, we're so fortunate to have chuck rosenberg, former u.s. attorney, former senior fbi official. happens to be the host of the msnbc podcast, as many of you already know, called "the oath," now in its second season as they cover season 3 of the trump white house. chuck, can michael cohen say no when prosecutors show up at the prison where he's incarcerated? >> theoretically, yes, he can say no. you see that sort of conduct in the movies. in real life people in prison or people facing prison time are rational actors. and so if you have the ability, the opportunity to cooperate with the feds or with sta

we've come to the university of cambridge to talk to clinical psychologist simon baron cohen. part of his research focuses on how gender affects human behavior in general and the brain in particular. we've been looking at sex differences in the mind between males and females on average and one of the tests that we use is where you have to find a shape that's hidden in a design as quickly as you can. and we find that on average man are faster at finding this target hidden in the overall design. baron cohen and his colleagues conducted behavioral studies of children and adolescents they started by testing hormone levels in numerous samples of amniotic fluid the liquid that helps protect the fetus in the womb. we've measured the testosterone during the pregnancy in the womb in the amniotic fluid so this is the baby in the womb and some women during pregnancy have a clinical procedure called amniocentesis where a needle goes into that fluid to take up some of the fluid and we can measure testosterone in the fluid and baby's very in terms of how much of the hormone they are exposed

cohen: is an economies of scale here. the more systems that you have, the lower the cost is. you can think about all those communities ass tially being a virtual water district. here they are connected via internet and therefore have thatenefit of being part of a district, even though geographically they'r t connected. snyder: i think it sounds very promising. d, in fact, i think if small communities are gonna have to go to treatment, it's gonna have to be a model like that. kadara: right now, we want to make sure we have enough wat for the people to live here and for us to grow. and right now, weare at capacity because our system is older, and we need to improve that.

her call -- tout -- took call for inquiry without anything pertaining to the campaign and michael cohen, this is a new thing that popped up. host: a question asked by usa they's editorial board, if ukraine was perfect, as the president said, why try to bury it? that is a good question. i think that is something the oversight committee or judiciary committee should ask. i think that is fair game, but does it warrant a full-blown impeachment inquiry? at this point, i don't think so. let's take the fact she officially called for impeachment inquiry. in my mind, nothing has changed. for the past year and a half, every committee has been trying to investigate president trump for a menu of different crimes.l i don't crimes. i don't think they found anything. host: take us to the house oversight committee. what is on the menu? what are your thoughts on that investigation? guest: the menu changes every day. it is a daily special with democrats and the chairman of the committee. the committee is supposed to look at waste, fraud, and abuse in government. that is something i am passionate about. q

why did the justice department end it after only charging michael cohen?h is tom hamburger, reporter at "the washington post" who is part of breaking this story. mr. hamburger, really appreciate you making the time to be with us tonight. thanks. >> good to be with you, rachel. thanks. >> so i say this is surprising news, because while this seemed to me like a big dangling thread in terms of the scandals that have surrounded the president, this one a particularly interesting one because of what federal prosecutors told the judge about the president's own involvement. we didn't have any sense that the democrats in the house were interested in pursuing this on their own terms. am i right that this is is the first we've known that they've been interested in going after this? >> this is the first indication we've had from the judiciary committee that they are putting this on their list of priority topics to investigate. we knew, rachel, already that they were focused on some of the things that were -- that were front and center in the mueller report, particular

michael cohen's sentencing memo in that case is crystal clear saying this, quote, cohen himself has admittede acted in coordination with and at the direction of individual one. joining our conversation former deputy assistant soerng and host of "the talking fed's" podcast. i have always been told by trump insiders that it is this criminal campaign finance investigation that was first run out of the southern district of new york that is now being pursued by state prosecutors that has always represented the most legal peril to individual one, aka, donald trump. >> yeah. i think we've heard that part because of the aggressiveness of the sdny. but even now under the manhattan d.a. they can do a lot of damage and they've laid a lot of groundwork for a lot of evidence. now cohen appears to be cooperating with them as well. so this really does open a new front in the whole war about getting his tax records. notice they would still be secret if the d.a. got them. but as opposed to the federal campaign where they're trying to get them from the secretary of treasury who's resisting for no good reason,

cohen telling the new yorker, quote, how come i'm the only one? come i'm the one that's going to prison? i'm not the one that slept with the porn star. >>> well, now, house democrats say they plan to launch an inquiry into the matter starting as soon as next month. from what we know, michael cohen is not expected to be brought in to testify during these hearings. i should mention there is precedent in terms of calling federal prisoners in to congress to testify at important hearings. the senate finance committee did it as recently as 2007 when they brought in a convicted felon to testify about identity theft and tax fraud. there he was in his blazer over his orange jumpsuit. whether or not an orange jumpsuited michael cohen is put before the cameras before the democrats and congress, he may in prison have his vindication if house democrats launch their own inquiry into what happened to the other people who were involved in the commission of those campaign finance felonies. remember, federal prosecutors described the president as individual one who

we know they're talking to michael cohen. we know cohen has made a proffer off to them. we know they have now subpoenaed the president's tax returns from the last eight years. this is a criminal grand jury sitting in manhattan that has issued this subpoena. the trump administration and his lawyers will fight this subpoena, no doubt, but at this point, they're fighting with, like, a giant squid with a thousand arms. i mean, at some point with this many different points of contact, even through the legal system, this stuff is likely to come out. so we're watching all of that unfold. just in today's news. but, of course, what has dominated the news today has been what now seems like an inevitable national circling back to the controlled implosion that was the supreme court confirmation of brett kavanaugh. >> my family and my name have been totally and permanently destroyed by vicious and false additional accusations. you have replaced advice and consent with search and destroy. since my nomination in in july there's been a frenzy on the left to come up with something, anyth

michael cohen pleaded dpguilty over the payments. here is what michael cohen told the committee this year. >> i am providing several documents. this includes a copy of a check mr. trump wrote from his personal bank account after he became president to reimburse me for the hush money payment i made to cover up with the affair with the adult film star. and prevent damage to his campaign. >> we should have known that trump and his lawyer denied this. regarding the payments. 134 democrats. one independent supported the impeachment vote for inquiry against the president. for now, we are happy to be joined by ted liu. with the state of california. who happens to be a member of the house judiciary committee. thank you for coming on. can you convince me taking your summer break was not a complete momentum killer for democrats in the house? if you have to come back and say to the people watching oh no, we are going to tell a different story now, this one is about an adult film star, playboy bunny of hush money. >> thank you, brian. we are goi

>> well, what we know already is that michael cohen is serving jail time for campaign finance violationsolving paying money in violation of campaign finance laws to affect the election of his then boss, donald trump. we know that the southern district investigated it. we know that the d.a. in manhattan is still investigating it, and just recently, just at the beginning of august, issued some more subpoenas. so there are active facts there that should be looked into. i think it would be malpractice of the judiciary not to look into is the t president authorized payments to anybody to try to impact his election. >> i guess that's my question, because i've seen some of my colleagues. one of your colleagues quoted already satisfied that the evidence is there that shows the president was a co-conspirator. is that your view or not? >> there may be evidence there, but our committee hasn't seen it. congress hasn't seen it there was evidence presented to the grand jury. the u.s. attorney up there refers to someone who can only be the president as individual number 1 as having authorized payments

cohen: you weren't a policeman? mr. lewandowski: i didn't think the president asked me to do anything illegal. mr. cohen: you don't think it would have been illegal to ask mr. sessions to drop the investigation and just go on to future presidents and omit everything with this president? we're going to start with the next one about colluding are russia? you didn't think that was illegal to obstruct justice? mr. lewandowski: the president asked me nothing illegal. mr. cohen: obviously you've never been a judge and won't be one. all these people asked you, they gave you dictation. he dictated you to a message to give sessions. you had ever been a secretary for the president before and taken dictation or shorthand? mr. lewandowski: many times. mr. cohen: we got your qualifications now. you were a secretary. he asked you, outside of white house channels, that's what mueller wrote, that this was outside of white house channels, could it have been he asked you to get the message to sessions because he thought you would do what

>> if you remember back almost a year or more ago, michael cohen came into court, stood up in court andaded guilty to a crime and essentially on the record implicated then candidate, now president trump as the person who essentially directed him to break the law to which he was admitting to right there in court. for whatever reason, the federal government has concluded its investigation with michael cohen and these payments is over, but the manhattan d.a.'s office think it's not over, in subpoenaing documents to make out a case for filing false business records. in new york it is a state crime to file false business records if you do so with an intent to hide a crime. so the manhattan d.a. is picking up where the federal government left off where it would not investigate criminal activity. when michael cohen stood up and implicated the president, that was powerful evidence, at least an allegation against donald trump. i'm not surprised be there echos being heeard whether in the federal system or state system. >> why would the southern district of new york not have pursued that or the de

cohen: thank you. ms. poland, as part of a study the ntsb recommended all new large school buses be equipped with lap and shoulder belts. it is probably enshrined in everyone's mind. in addition, the american academy of pediatrics says new school buses should have seatbelts. why's it so important that this commonsense safety equipment that has already saved thousands of lives in passenger motor vehicles be placed in large school buses? poland as i mentioned in my : opening statement we know that school buses are extremely safe but they are vulnerable in specific kind of crashes. over and over, we are seeing children injured or killed in these types of crashes. technology has changed over time. we initially recommended occupant protection systems, but now we are seeing that lap and shoulder belts are well-designed and in certain circumstances we can study how they are performing in crashes and finding that occupants are very well protected in these new designs of shoulder belts. but is why we came up wi
