how could it be that michael cohen did and trump didn't? if the only reason they didn't charge trump is because of the justice department role that precludes indicting a sitting president, prosecutors certainly could have said so. they could have said that that was the only reason evers not being charged, that would have led to the expectation and probably the event wallet those charges would basically be put on hold during the duration of his presidency and then those charges would come into force upon him stepping down from office. the prosecutors in this case did nothing like this. they pursued no charges against trump. instead, they told the court that this other guy committed the crime with trump and for trump and at trump's direction, they prosecuted the other guy and sent him to prison and they never brought charges against trump. never said anything about it. nor did trump's business get prosecuted even though prosecutors spell out in court the business was used to launder the funds that cohen and trump used to commit the crime. i m

cohen to prison. so that's how david pecker and the national enquirer got off given -- despite their participation in this crime. but cohen actually did have to go toac prison. here's the thing, though.ng here's the thing that never made sense for years. it never made sense -- it still to this day has not made sense that mr. cohen is the one who went to prison for this when no one else did. i mean the national enquirer and their publisher with the funny name, you know, them being granted immunity, you may not like that happened but at least it's explicable, it's at least rational. we understand what prosecutors did there. when it comes to trump, though, and the trump organization it never really made any sense that they escaped sort of scott free despite the fact that prosecutors had this crime dead to rights. in court as he pled guilty michael cohen read a description of his crime, a description of what he did that led to his guilty plea. this is a formal statement to the court that was written for h

cohen to prison. that's how divided the national inquiry got off, it's moving through beautifully through the. -- here's the thing, though, here's the thing never made sense for years. and never made sense, it's still to this day is not made sense that mr. cohen, is the one who went to prison for this window and ousted. i mean the national enquirer and our publisher with a funny name, then being granted immunity, you might not like that that happened, but at least is explicable, it's rational, we understand prosecutors today. when it comes to trump though, and the trump organization, and never really made any sense that they escaped sort of scot-free, despite the fact the prosecutors have this crime dead to rights. i mean in court, if you pled guilty, michael collin wright a description of his crime, a description of what he did to lead to his guilty plea. this is a formal statement of the court, there's written for him by prosecutors, he stated under oath, it was formally submitted to the court. and

that is the theory of michael cohen at the least. that is a violation potentially of new york law that makes it a crime to falsify business records. that is a misdemeanor, but it is also a felony if the person falsified the records for the purpose of concealing another crime. and in this instance there could be a crime under campaign finance laws of trying to conceal that payment because it would be damaging to him as a politician. so if that's the case, that would be a four-year felony which would certainly be far more substantial than a misdemeanor. >> so that would be -- this is the latest, of course, of a series of legal worries, shall we say, that face the former president. but this is one that's been percolating throughout his time in office, always kind of hovering around the background. there was belief a few years ago the manhattan d.a. was not going to pursue this. are you surprised to hear this investigation is ramping up again, and just in your estimation from 1,000 miles or so, how likely is it there could be a criminal

joining us on the phone is michael cohen.stigators at the manhattan district attorney's office, author of "revenge." michael, what did you talk about? >> hi, nicolle. how are you? and to your panel, all three members of your panel fully understand that the district attorney has asked me not to go into the sum and substance of the conversation and the questions that would only benefit one person and that, of course, would be donald trump. i have no interest in doing that. neither do they. all i can say it was a very productive meeting. i don't suspect it will be the last either, and i think alvin bragg is as just stated by harry -- i think he's seriously looking at this case on several different grounds. >> michael, you have spent time with mark pomeranz, two incredibly skilled prosecutors looking at this who thought it was chargeable and prosecutable. did you get any -- do you have a better understanding of why they left after today? >> so, again, it teeters on the promise that i made to the d.a. that i would not go into the

the x-factor, in my view, is michael cohen.rejected michael cohen. in his sentencing letter, and i said this to his face, they said, we do not believe michael cohen has been fully forthcoming. the way it works at the southern district and all of doj is, you can't sign as a cooperator unless you fully believe that person. now, maybe the d.a. now is assessing michael cohen differently. maybe they think he is more credible. maybe they've just reached a different assessment. but if he were to flip fully, and he's eager to cooperate. he makes no secret about it. that could change the calculus. >> so you have mountains of evidence in multiple cases involving donald j. trump. you have mountains of evidence about obstruction of justice. you have mountains of evidence about partial payments, full payments to people to keep him out of the limelight, all sorts of things. you also have a trite phrase that is uttered in washington and in the southern district and by federal prosecutors everywhere. it is that no person is above the law. >> s

now, here they are all of this time later, bringing michael cohen back in.is hard to believe that they are bringing cohen back in just to sort of kick the tires. they probably have a pretty good idea of what michael cohen knows, and they are trying to use him in some sort of way to build something. it is that he is a very high-profile target. whenever he goes, and it brings attention to the investigation. something that prosecutors usually do not want. sometimes they do want that public attention, but they brought cohen and here, i believe for at least the second time. and it shows something it shows a level of activity on an investigation into the stormy daniels payment, which was made all the way back in 2016. so, you know -- >> you are suggesting opaque lee, i will say, that maybe this is to pressure some other part of trump world into doing something. the person who is serving five months is allen weisselberg. a key figure in the trump organization, who for a long time people thought was going to get further pressured to flip on trump. he has not opposed

it doesn't require only michael cohen as a witness.e first looked like it was over to today, it's trying to build a case up around it with documents and other witnesses. but at the end of the day, it seems essential that michael cohen be there to explain what all of these documents mean and alvin brag wanted to satisfy himself this was a witness we could sponsor as telling truthful testimony and that a jury will believe. >> that seems to be moving forward. i know you haven't had a chance to look at this because it just posted, but i want to read it to you. manhattan da alvin brag is concerned about a former prosecutor who wrote a book about his time investigating donald trump that could jeopardize the office's continuing probe pap that form investigator was put on special assignment on the trump case by brag's predecessor. en wouldn't that or could that violate some sort of, if not ethics rules, legalities? can a former investigator write a book about an ongoing case? >> absolutely should not be doing that. all lawyers owe a duty of lo

attorney put it, in cohen's sentencing memo, cohen admitted he acted in coordination with, and directionl one. individual number one of course being donald trump. now, at the time, it did seem fairly straightforward, that if you're gonna prosecute michael cohen for this crime, you should also prosecute the person who was acting on behalf of the person who clearly was the one orchestrating all of it. and get this -- according to new reporting, federal prosecutors and the southern district of new york did consider doing that, when donald trump left office. in fact, in january 2021, the acting u.s. attorney, held multiple discussions with a small group of prosecutors to discuss its evidence against trump. they decided not to seek an indictment for several reasons, including the political ramifications, and the fact that trump's other scandals, such as efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election, and the january 6th insurrection, made the campaign finance violations seemed somehow trivial and outdated by comparison. that's a totally defensible view. like, the guy did try to end the co

we're not putting all that detail in michael cohen's indictment of donald trump.as the question of, what do we call trump then? originally, they considered calling him co-conspirator one, which would have been the first time since richard nixon that label would have applied to a candidate. that was shot down. and then, how about candidate one? and then they settled on the completely innocuous individual one. and as a result, we got this sanitized indictment of michael cohen that barely mentioned individual one and the end result there was only michael cohen was ever prosecuted for that. >> interesting. and you mentioned that trump could not be indicted while he was the sitting president under that long-standing oec memo, the justice department guidance that we talked about so much during the trump presidency. what happened though once he left office in january of 2021, because that is fascinating. >> i've revealed for the first time in this book that the southern district of new york did have a series of meetings starting in january of 2021 about what do we do whe

the case would also rely on the testimony of michael cohen, mr. trump's former fixer, who made the payment and who himself pleaded guilty to federal charges related to the hush money in 2018. the question, obviously being if michael cohen is your key witness, how credible is he, right? >> indeed. so, that times piece lays out two problems. the untested legal theory of saying why this is a state felony, and relying on michael cohen. look, i mean, federal prosecutors, prosecutors always say to juries that cooperating witnesses tend to be people who committed crimes as well, with the person who is being tried. but here it seems that the reliance on him, he's just much more important to this case than he would have been to, again, that valuations case, which pulled in lots of evidence over time. it would have alleged that donald trump had lied to tax authorities and to banks and to other government regulators, all to enrich himself. and, you know, it is good to bring even a small case. this is a discreet event that happened seven years ago. but it is

we will talk about ryan cohen, and his activist investor bet on alibaba later in the show.t is interesting his bets on meme stock that we have seen in the last two years or so. this one is down 2%. it dragged on the s&p 500. it was coming off a run of six or seven straight days of gains, its longest streak in some time. it was really going into overboard territory. so there is some pullback on amazon after a decent run. tesla. best performer on the s&p 500. really an outlier when it comes to the performance of tuesday's session. there were lots of sell side analysts reacting to the price cuts we saw in north america, some of them pointing to the erosion that we will have, potentially tesla missing ibitda when rulings come around. and talking about autos and a price war, if there is an actual price war. compare tesla to the legacy automakers, and it has more margin to play with than others do. but the background is it is here in san francisco. caroline: let's dive into that. musk is said to be a star witness at injury trial that started tuesday over his infamous tweet, 4.5 y

questions, and i know that a lot of what he's attempting to do depends on the testimony of michael cohent may have been a new witness or revelation that they believe could present to the grand jury that will give them a significant amount of credibility that they did not have before in terms of establishing what they need to for an indictment. it's important to note as previously stated, an indictment is different than a conviction. i do think with respect to the legal theory that bragg may be attempting to move forward on it, he still has a tall order to move forward with getting a unanimous verdict from a jury to convict trump. >> "the times" also quoted one of the witnesses was seen with his lawyer, and it was the tabloid that helped broker the deal with the adult star, stormy daniels. >> it could give more information, and one of the witnesses they need is michael cohen, and we all know has done jail time and could be painted to the jury as a witness who has an axe to grind against donald trump, and of course the fact that he has been convicted of a crime doesn't necessarily have, in

of course, michael cohen, central to that. he helps facilitate those payments, those are the payment that's were made to stormy daniels so she wouldn't go public with an alleged affair with president trump just before the 2016 election. trump denied that affair. now another source tells me that prosecutors have reached out in recent weeks to another attorney who was involved. he represented stormy daniels in the hush money payment. these are two indications that prosecutors are starting to pick up the was of this investigation. and when i spoke with alvin brag last friday after the tax fraud charges, that closed one chapter and the next chapter is now beginning. i think we're starting to see the fruits of that with cohen coming into the da's office today, this afternoon, just a few moments ago to sit for another interview and this, of course, under the investigation led by the da alvin brag who has been in office for a year. >> really interesting to say that another chapter is opening. we'll see if he says anything on the way

trump's former attorney, michael cohen pleaded guilty to finance charges related to the payments cohenacilitated while working for then candidate trump. let's bring in cnn correspondent kara scannell. we thought the hush money payment wasn't going anywhere, the broader look into trump's business practices. >> what's old is new again. the hush money payment, that's how they started the investigation back in 2019, looking into the hush money payments, and then it expanded, and they took this broader look at the business practices. you know, there's been a change in the district attorney. alvin bragg is now the d.a., he paused that previous investigation because he didn't believe they had enough evidence to bring a criminal case against trump. the burden of proof so much higher. they had the big conviction of two entities for tax fraud. they seem to be emboldened and have picked up the pace with the focus on hush moneys again. we reported that michael cohen went in two weeks ago, and david pecker, the former chairman of the "national enquirer" was going in this week, so we're definitely s

cnn's senior medical correspondent elizabeth cohen is here.n this new study finds covid was a leading cause of death for young people? >> it was, i know, a lot of people were surprised. i think, alisyn because we've trained our brains to think, oh, covid is really a problem for older people. it's not just a problem for children and relatively speaking that's true but still, it was a leading cause of death for children. let's take a look at what this study found. it was looking at children from birth to ages 19 and it was done from july of 2021 until -- sorry, august of 2021 till july of 2022 and found during that one-year period 821 children that age died. it was the eighth leading cause of death for children that age. it caused more deaths than influenza or pneumonia or any other respiratory or infectious disease and, again, you know, you might see 821 and think, well, that's so small compared to the number of adults. it doesn't really matter. 821 children who died is still too many and that's why vaccination is still so important for childre

in other news, israel's newly appointed foreign minister eli cohen is already feeling the heath. a flurry of condemnations as hit jerusalem after cohen's inaugural speech in which he promised to quote, talk less about the conflict in ukraine. let's go live now to our t correspondence, maria fin option. i good afternoon. see it, maria. can you tell us more about this current situation in golf, in israel's foreign minister, the overall attitude of jerusalem was the one you crime? yes. hi peter, with the new government here in israel now making its 1st steps the world is watching closely and failing carefully, everything has been said or done, trying to guess where the country will go under the new leadership. and yes, they have already been some strong criticism from outside for rod, for israel's policy on ukraine. and it stands hong russia's special military operation. they have been out of words and reactions in the last 3 days, showing just how highly sensitive this matter is. first on monday, his inaugural speech, israel's new foreign minister, coin, sad that the country's new

would aliba management with or without ryan cohen think it is a good idea? yiqin: i agree.ba has actually already started to do so from last year and has expanded shareholder share buyback programs. it is underway. i think it just remains to be seen if they ramp up efforts, but it is already on the table. ed: if you are ryan cohen and you are trying to convince alibaba's board or the chinese government of change, which demand do you think is most likely? that is a difficult question, but which demand is he pushing for most? yiqin: i would think share buyback is probably the right aspect, just given that they are sitting on piles of cash and how to better use that part of capital is a strategy i think the board needs to be considered thoroughly. caroline: fascinating. alibaba is about 50 times the size of gamestop? quite a different ballpark he is playing in now. yiqin shen, we thank you so much for staying on top of the news. meanwhile, we have had a bit of news in the world of autos. ed: yeah, it was an interesting early start talking to gm, because chevrolet just unveiled

and if he's bringing michael cohen in, looks like he's up to something.doesn't want to live with letting, you know, having the new york public say what happened to this investigation? >> especially after the sort of dramatic exit stage right of the former prosecutors who are frustrated with alvin brag's position on this. remember these were just ordinary, inexpensive folders -- because expensive folders would have been another can of beans -- inexpensive folders with various words printed on them but they were a cool keepsake. should people be rethinking the potential indictment of trump as far as mar-a-lago given the position that merrick garland is now in in terms of a special counsel being assigned to investigate joe biden's retention of classified documents? >> so as we looked at the question of krin alt, i have come to understand that criminality is like a really, really high bar. even higher than i thought. in one of the parts of the questions of criminality is if you take that extraordinary move to charge trump, let's say if he was running, would y

dani: in less than a minute here, will alibaba larger share buybacks on cohen?herine: taking a step back what we have seen over the last two years as the company has been enlarging its share buyback program. of course given that the share together with the rest of the chinese tech companies, they have actually gone to much higher in value over the last few months itself. the impact of in the large share repurchase program on the returns to shareholders would actually be incrementally smaller. let's look to actually see whether they will come out with more effective way of actually returning more to shareholders over the next 12 months. dani: it will definitely be interesting to watch. catherine lim from bloomberg intelligence. coming up, a bullish concoction for commodities. dani: good morning, this is "bloomberg daybreak: europe." beat but no bounds. trouble stocks -- global stocks drop. goldman and ubs joint bullish bets on china's reopening. morgan stanley and goldman sachs round out earnings from wall street biggest banks with both seen taking a hit from inv

let's bring in benjamin cohen, the ceo of pinknews.n, we're going to talk about advertising in a whole range of issues relating to your business in a minute, but you used to work at channel 4. you were its tech correspondent on channel 4 news, so no doubt you've been following this one. yeah, totally. i mean, i worked for itn that made channel 4 news, - so i had the very weird task always of, whilst reportingl on channel 4, which i often did on channel 4 news, - of doing it from an outside perspective inside, - which was very strange. but my perspective on this, . i think, as stephenjust said — selling channel 4 didn't really make business sense. - and so it's interesting that even in that statement - you were saying there, _ "re—examining the business case" for what the previous previousj government was planning to do. it wasn't going to - raise that much money. and so, channel 4 is a great institution and i think it's i a really important institution, but actually, as a commercialj entity, if it was not doing - what it does now and w

nobody knows that better than michael cohen who had and has and has shared the receipts to prove it. there was of course the southern district of new york's charging document against michael cohen that was riddled with references to this mysterious figure, executive one, at the heart of an elaborate scheme to pay hush money to stormy daniels and reimburse michael cohen. executive one was alan weisselberg. there would have been no stormy daniels hush money scheme without allen weisselberg. >> in the office with me was allen weisselberg, the chief financial officer of the trump organization. he acknowledged that he was going to pay the 130 how, and that he and i should go back to his office and figure out how to do it. the bottom signature, i believe, is allen weisselberg. >> can you suggest who we should talk to for additional information? david becker, barry howard, allen weisselberg. >> can anyone corroborate what you have shared with us? >> absolutely. >> and that is? >> keith davidson, allen weisselberg, president trump. >> i just want the american public to understand the explosi
