>> yes, we are, president cohen. >> president cohen: thank you. and without disclosing any investigation technique, can you report on the coordinated response on retail crime including on the ground intelligence? >> yeah. so we've had some good outcomes with the organized retail crime task force of approximately $10 million of stolen property. probably a little bit more than that arrests have been made in large amounts of cash. stolen from merchandise and we've had some success. we have investigators in the task force. when the governor and his team put the task force together. so it definitely added to what we're doing. in one operation alone the task force seized over $8 million in property. and property from some of our big chain retailers, the ones that have been in the news lately target and that was one operation. warehouses, so definitely there's value there with the task force. so i'm very happy that the governor, the state assembly has pushed this bill forward because july 1st of this year, the funding ceased. so whenever that bill gets s

thank you, president cohen. >> president cohen: no problem. any other questions?r byrne? >> commissioner byrne: thank you. one of the recommendations is that the san francisco police department be armed with tasers, and the police department has indicated that they want to derogate from that recommendation. are there any other recommendations that they want to derogate from? >> not off the top of my head, which, to my mind, sort of suggests that none of them were too controversial. i think that in the -- that another point to this is that in the five years, in the five intervening years, we've -- you know, policing has evolved, a lot of things have changed about the expectations of policing. cal d.o.j. has done a good job of integrating some of those chases in their review process and in our collaborative partnerships, but i don't -- i can't think of anything that we've outright determined we would not do, so -- but i'm happy to get back to you on that with a little bit more firm -- >> commissioner byrne: no. the point i'm trying to make is i'm not trying to disco

we have michael cohen back with us. go on, of course. what i'm alluding to with this is that i know that you have sat many times with prosecutors and given them what you know now. have you been able to point them to any specific fraudulent transaction that you can tie to donald trump that you think is now connected here? >> let me once again say that i won't discuss my conversations with the district attorney out of respect for the investigation. all i can say is, yes, there are a multitude of documents that are in the possession of prosecutors that tie donald trump to everything, because everything went through donald. i don't know how many more times i could possibly say the same thing. you know, every single thing, whether it was the acquisition of paperclips, light bulbs, furniture, mattresses, you name it, alan weisselberg's kids' payments, rent, everything would have a donald trump signature on it or his initial. there are other people at the trump organization who additionally received these same sort of perk benefits that alan we

>> yes, we are, president cohen. >> president cohen: thank you. without disclosing any investigation technique, can you report on the coordinated response on retail crime including on the ground intelligence? >> yeah. so we've had some good outcomes with the organized retail crime task force of approximately $10 million of stolen property. probably a little bit more than that arrests have been made in large amounts of cash. stolen from merchandise and we've had some success. we have investigators in the task force. when the governor and his team put the task force together. so it definitely added to what we're doing. in one operation alone the task force seized over $8 million in property. and property from some of our big chain retailers, the ones that have been in the news lately target and that was one operation. warehouses, so definitely there's value there with the task force. so i'm very happy that the governor, the state assembly has pushed this bill forward because july 1st of this year, the funding ceased. so whenever that bill gets signe

. >> we have a witness here, michael cohen, he joins us on our first block. as he stands by, i will bring in dan alonso and joy vance, welcome to both of you. how broad and strong is this case? >> it sounds very strong. the evidence detailed in me charges themselves. they don't seem to rely too much on people whose credibility can be attacked. it does not seem michael cohen or others and they got a lot of a lot of documents, i think it is broader than what we were expecting the last few days from having heard from the defense lawyers and i will say one thing that is very significant that this state tax case charges the irs and the federal authorities as victims in this scheme. that's proper, for example, social security and disability and things like that. this is a very interesting and appropriate use of the scheme of fraud and grand larceny laws to specifically charge in state court that the irs is ripped off. it is an interesting way to do it. it has the effect of upping significantly the am of tax laws. we are talking about new york state's taxes, we talk

and on them, cohen mentions allen weisselberg.would mean weisselberg was in the know about the shell company, allegedly, set up to make the payment. >> i have spoken to allen weisselberg about how to set the whole thing up with funding. >> reporter: cohen has said, both, trump and weisselberg had knowledge of the hush-money payments. he testified about this before the house oversight committee in 2019. >> other checks to reimburse me for the hush-money payments were signed by donald trump jr. and allen weisselberg. >> reporter: throughout his testimony, he mentions weisselberg many, many times. >> the bottom signature, i believe, is allen weisselberg's. i was asked, again, with allen weisselberg. i was instructed by allen. in the office, with me, was allen weisselberg. >> cohen pleaded guilty to tax evasion and violating federal campaign finance law, among other things. and was sentenced to three years this prison. in 2018, weisselberg was granted limited immunity in the cohen investigation so that he could share information with

he is obviously the big boss as michael cohen pointed out in that piece. but actual evidence against donald trump in the indictment is basically nonexistent. >> well, first, let's get smoking spreadsheet into the vernacular if we can. second to the point of how closely the former president might be tied to this, tim, i want to ask you about that. because you have this piece in bloomberg today really interesting and references the 2005 deposition stemming from an unsuccessful libel suit the president filed against you. what did trump say under oath about how closely he worked with weisselberg on the company finances? >> that they worked hand in glove, john. and that it wasn't trump merely signing off on documents that weisselberg prepared for him without any input from trump. these were documents they presented to banks and other entities they were seeking loans from that purported or presented an accurate snapshot of the company's valuations and finances. we deposed trump for two days in 2007, eight hours a day. it is 16 hours of sworn testimony, and it's

people are cutting the cold, and i think cohen -- the cord, and cohen is worried about that as well. sport. however, people like watching games, you know, if they're a colorado rockies fan in new york, the whole business model's turned upside down. it's a very difficult model. i can tell you that major league baseball, rob manfred is worried about them not making money marley in smaller market -- particularly in smaller market teams. i think the overhang of that mess marley with sin chair which owns, i believe -- sinclair which owns 20 rsns is affecting this bidding. don't be surprised if you see steve cohen team up with other people, get involved in this thing. [laughter] it looks like it's going to -- something's going to happen here. i can't tell you the exact structure of it just yet. but clearly, a lot of talk is going on about unloading this thing, and cohen is still involved in that talk, ashley. back to you. ashley: i wonder, charlie, if sny would be making money if the meants weren't top of the nl east. it could be -- >> you know what? that's a great point. they still can't

and why michael cohen is still the only person who ever faced the music for those felonies. even though federal prosecutors identified other people having played bigger, more important roles in those felonies than he did. but that was it. apparently in terms of any legal case. maybe someday we will figure it would happened. but tonight, washington post was forced to report, that a grand jury in manhattan has filed criminal indictments against the trump organization, and it's cfo, allen weisselberg, and those indictments will be unsealed tomorrow. these are not -- these are state charges under newark. law the post is reporting that mr. weisselberg is expected to surrender tomorrow morning at the manhattan district attorney 's office and he's expected to be arraigned later in the day before a state judged in a new york courtroom. the trump organization will also be arranged -- it is hard to arraign and entity. at least it is hard to imagine that. but the entity will be represented in court by one of its attorneys. an entity familiar with the matter telling nbc news tonight tha

>> i think michael cohen is absolutely right.oking for something bigger than just. this once we left and people don't talk about in the discord, these charges are against the trump organization where donald trump run as the president, brandon and his name. they are not minor charges. they allege about 1 million dollars in taxes not being. paid it's like 1 million dollar highs. the justice department does do a 15-minute google surged. you will see the justice department puts people in jail for five years for that. it's mine, or in something that's being used as leverage probably, to try and get allen weisselberg to flip. it should go without saying, today it, donald trump's business was labeled a criminal organization, essentially. >> want to pivot to the supreme court today, the decision upholding voting restrictions in arizona. it came down along party lines, i know it's just -- undignified to use party lines one referring to the supreme court, but we all seen the confirmation hearings and people are not stupid, and know the sco

there were charges to congress and in the case of michael cohen hush money. will the president, will the former president actually finally have his nine lives and his ability to skirt the criminal consequences so many others around him have faced? the former president is out today calling it a witch-hunt, that this is politically motivated. in reading this indictment again as someone who is not a lawyer, like you, nicolle, i was struck by the fact that over and over again what you saw was defraud. this document shows that you lied over and over and over again allegedly and had all to do with money and taxes and how the business was run. >> everyone's analysis -- go ahead. >> it's a long, interesting indictment. at its core is the allegation donald trump is at the helm of a criminal enterprise. that's what's new today. that's why the new york d.a. did the research, did the investigation and indicted. and the organization will have its day in court to rebut that. this is not nothing that a recently departed former president who touts his business acumen above a

>> i think that michael cohen is absolutely right. the prosecutors here are looking for something bigger than this. what people don't talk about, these charges are against the trump organization, which donald trump ran as president, branded with his name, and they are not minor charges. they allege about a million dollars in taxes not being paid. it's like a million dollar heist, and the justice department does a five minute google search, and you will see the justice department puts people in jail for five years for tax evasion like that. this isn't minor. it's something that is probably used as leverage to try to get allen weisselberg to flip. it guys without saying, donald trump's business was labelled a criminal organization, essentially. >> i want to pivot to the supreme court today. this decision upholding voting restrictions in arizona. came down along party lines and i know it's considered gross and undignified to use the term party lines when we talk about the supreme court. and everybody knows the score on the court. here is

michael cohen remains the only person who went to prison for that scheme.ugh he didn't benefit from those payments, donald trump did. that said, federal prosecutors quite famously in court documents that he committed those felonies in coordination with and at the direction of individual one, who was donald trump. he was, of course, the person who was also the beneficiary of the actions described in those felony counts. and then that raised all sorts of actually still outstanding questions as to why federal prosecutors from the southern district of new york would ascribe that kind of blame to an individual who directed the commission of those felonies who actually benefitted from the commission of those felonies. but then they closed the case without ever bringing charges against that individual. it is one thing to think that individual one, president trump, was safe from indictment himself there because he was president at the time and the justice department won't indict a sitting president, but he's no longer president. nevertheless, that sdny case was clo

. >> president cohen: you'd like to call this meeting to order. mr.>> clerk: [roll call] president cohen, you have a quorum. we also have chief scott from the san francisco police department and paul henderson from the police accountability. >> president cohen: that sounds wonderful. i appreciate that. let's go ahead and begin our meeting with the pledge of

so, you know, similarly, michael cohen went to prison in part for the hush money scheme, the paymentstormy daniels. individual one was mentioned in that sdny indictment. ultimately he wasn't charged. so there is this pattern here, you know, the criminal law is what it is. if prosecutors can't get to him with the proof, they can't charge him. that, of course, is what they've been working on for a couple of years now so we'll have to see. >> ely, as you know, michael cohen has said nothing happened at the trump organization that donald trump didn't know about. he has basically testified to that. but you've made the point you have to be able to actually connect the dots. >> yeah. as a prosecutor, alisyn, you cannot stand up in front of a jury and say, come on, folks, he must have known, he had to know. that's what the burden of proof is about, that's what proving the case beyond a reasonable doubt is about. that's not enough. you need specific proof. you need a document, you need a witness who can say, he knew about this, he was part of it. also, speaking of michael cohen, alisyn, i thi

joining us is michael cohen, author of "disloyal." michael, let's start there. the handcuffs don't really feel great on your wrists. second of all, it's very surreal when you are being perp walked to the judge's chambers in order to hear charges that are going to be brought against you. i've often said that, you know, there's a big difference between when you're under investigation and then you're formally indicted as what i went through and what allen weisselberg is going through because the stakes are now real. before they're not real. you sit there, you walk around, you go out with your family and you wonder what they're going to come up with. now you know what they're coming up with and you know that this is just the tip of the iceberg. nobody -- nobody should realistically believe for a second that the indictment that came down today is the end after be all. it is not. the district attorney, cyrus vance and others have substantially more documents and more indictments will be coming as a result. >> i want to get into that more in a second. i wanted to get y

. >>> in our politics lead, trump's former fixer michael cohen thinks there is more to come after new york city prosecutors charge the trump organization's chief financial officer with 15 felonies. >> allen weisselberg is not the keystone. he is not the keystone to this investigation. >> joining us now is cnn's cara spinel was in the courtroom today. he got away with this for 15 years? >> that's right. 15 years from what prosecutors call an audacious and sweeping illegal payment scheme. weisselberg was charged with 15 felony counts. the trump organization were charged with 10 tellfelony coun. weisselberg was led into the courtroom in handcuffs. he pleaded not guilty. a lawyer for the trump organization also pleaded not guilty to the charges. as part of the scheme, it's alleged that over these 15 years since 2005 that weisselberg and the trump organization helped to seal some payments. the focus has been on benefits. saying that weisselberg had defrauded new york city state authorities by concealing that he lived in new york city at the same time that he was living in a trump funded ap

if you remember, michael cohen, was saying i'll take a bullet for donald trump, then he sees more than 10 years in of jail time and he became a witness against trump. so until we see what weisselberg is facing, that could change the course. but we'll see the district attorney coming out and saying how they view the indictments, just the end or the beginning? >> also the michael cohen example is a very good one because like allen weisselberg he had extreme closeness to president trump and testified on capitol hill as to how the president communicated often saying nothing but enough to get them to do something that might have been inappropriate. what makes allen weisselberg different? >> the difference here is that allen weisselberg basically has been in operational control of the trump organization for decades. he was the cfo but in practice was a little bit more than that. he controls every dollar that comes in and out of the country, makes questions about who's hired and fired. in one deposition he said he made sure the right subsidiaries were buying the right pens to save money on of

cohen was convicted of crimes that were done for the purpose of donald trump and individual ones.me adviser was appearing to and lying of things. mr. rudy giuliani is not indicted but under investigation and also pertaining to the things he was doing and also in trump's best including overturning the election which trump remains under investigation in georgia. so i think you make an important point of what it means to have this many indictments around you. i give you the floor for the next point you wanted to make, sir. >> you and i talked about a lot on your program. you can't make these one-on-one connections and the man allegedly instructed them to commit criminal acts without these men telling the truth. without these men flipping on donald trump. one of his family members and the thing that really like always surprises me is that except for michael cohen only flipped after he was in jail. lowers his credibility threshold just a tad. not one of these people flipped on trump or any of his children. they have all kept their mouths shut. one of the interesting things about tom ba

that criminal scheme, of course, completely fell apart, michael cohen went to prison for that criminal scheme, stormy daniels went on 60 minutes and told the story of that night including donald trump comparing her to his daughter. today, another criminal scheme involving donald trump signing checks was described in the indictment of the trump corporation, the trump it will corporation and allen why so burke. from 2012 through 2017 then as part of the scheme to -- including weisselberg arranged for tuition expenses for weisselberg's family members to be paid by personal checks drawn on the account of, and signed by donald j. trump. the payment of tuition for weisselberg's family members couldn't -- i was treated as part of his annual compensation in the internal records maintained by the corporation. however, the indirect compensation in the form of tuition payments was not included on a weisselberg's two forms reported to tax authorities. no income taxes were withheld. weisselberg intentionally caused a tuition payments to be omitted from his personal tax returns despite knowing that

cohen: thank you, mr. morales. we appreciate your work and your testimony. our next witness is nicholas stephanopoulos, i propose a standard under section two of the act. several justices act about my proposal. and, the court's decision cited by article. i would like to make some points about the decision. ordinary statutory interpretation. the justices in the majority reading the statute claimed they start with the text and and with the text. but, the court announced that for future cases, they are on board from the statute's language. you can steer the language from -- for as long as you want and will never find any references to the size of the voting burden or the racial disparity, let alone what policies happen to be a place back in 1982. the courts only defense for its extra-textual factors is the quote "totality of circumstances. " that phrase optimizes the justices to invent whatever criteria they think are appropriate. but it is not an invitation to the justices to become guardians. it is just a reference to the factors listed in the 1982 senate rep

and a couple years later i remember having a conversation with supervisor cohen and she said, you know, david, the city forgets about the southeast neighborhood and doesn't invest in us. well, today the city hasn't forgotten these neighborhoods and the city is investing in india basin. phil ginsburg invisitted me and then supervisor walton to come to india basin. phil, you will probably remember this and we didn't know what we were coming to see and we got here and he looked at me and said, hey, chu, i need a couple million bucks. so i said, all right. and scott wiener, and phil and i, we got together and one year of the budget we said, okay, phil, we have $4 million for you. and then ginsburg said that we need another $8 million. so i said, okay, all right, you know, money -- we'll get another $8 million. and then he said, we need another $25 million. and then we asked, well, how much does this darned thing cost? and we all know the answer to that. but let me also say a week after that conversation right here, i was sitting in room 200 with mayor breed and she said -- and i think that

michael cohen went to prison for that criminal scheme. stormy daniels went on "60 minutes" and told the story of that night, including donald trump comparing her to his daughter. today, another, criminal scheme involving donald trump signing checks was described in the indictment of the trump corporation, the trump payroll corporation, and allen weisselberg. from 2012 through 2017, and as part of the scheme to defraud, trump corporation personnel, including weisselberg, arranged for tuition expenses for weisselberg's family members to be paid by personal checks drawn on the account of and signed by donald j. trump. the payment of tuition expenses for weisselberg's family members constituted employee compensation and taxable income to allen weisselberg, and was treated as part of weisselberg's annual compensation in the internal records maintained by the trp corporation. however, the indirect compensation in the form of tuition payments was not included on weisselberg's w-2 forms or otherwise reported to federal, state, or local-tax author

some have turned like michael cohen, other have not, look at roger store, for example. i don't want to be the one to say it again because i feel like the charlie brown and the lucy with the football relationship at this point. but with a wide-ranging investigation like it, anything is possible. but we just haven't seen the indictments of trump or the family yet. and i got to believe that cy vance and leticia james, if they had had those trophies ready by thursday, they would have indicted them, too, rather than rely on just the cooperating witness in the form of allyn weisselberg who may not flip at all. >> well, i'm glad you two are watching this for you and will keep us informed as this unfold. thank you so much for joining us this morning. >>> the miami-dade county chairman on the decision to demolish the rest of that collapsed condo. are other buildings in the area at risk? >>> and later in the hour -- >> i am human. i'm -- i happen to run a little faster. >> she was slated for glory, but her olympic dreams are in jeopardy. we'll dive deep into the suspension for us

. >> seth: somehow michael cohen has become the wise elder statesman of the former trump goons. to be the intimidating mafia-style bagman and now he's like a guidance counselor sitting backwards on a chair to give rudy a pep talk "you gotta straighten out your life, man. you could be somebody, but if you keep hanging out with the wrong crowd, you're going to find yourself working down at the gas station for the rest of your life. "but i love the gas station. that's where i get my hair dye." it's fitting that cohen looks like a bargain bin ray romano now, because he sounds like he's giving brotherly advice to robert "oh, robert, you got to take responsibility for what you did. you got to tell ma, you broke her vase."
