i thought cohn's testimony would be a boon to the president.s later after he made it, here are the facts. we're not talking about what he said. we're talking about the lies, we're talking about prosecution now, his lawyer who has a russian client and representing him after representing hillary clinton and the hill did a poll. listen to this poll. back in december when he pled guilty, cohn 51% of americans thought he was credible after he testified last week. now only 35% of americans think he's credible. the entire cohn testimony has back fired on the democrats. >> sean: let's go over this because now i believe the beginning of what will be a cascade of transcripts. but, remember, we talked about five buckets. the 302's have yet to be released they will be released. the actual fisa warrant, which we're told the bulk of information is the debunked dossier. then the gang of eight material. what else do we expect is going to be coming and how transformative do you believe this will be? >> i think it's absolutely imperative that the president makes

cohn was intel in the house, intel?the senate and then he came to the intelligence committee. >> they said there was corruption and collusion on the part of the president. listen to what they said. >> do you think the president obstructed justice? >> yes, he did. it's very clear the president obstructed justice. >> yes, we have strong evidence of obstruction of justice. of course evidence is not a conclusion, but that's why we conduct investigations. >> and all the lies to cover up the meeting at the trump tower and apparently lies the president participated in. that to me is direct evidence. but there are also abundant circumstantial evidence. >> anyone who says there is no evidence of collaboration, there is plenty of evidence. the question is what kind of full conclusion do we reach, and i'm going to reserve my judgment on that conclusion until we finish our investigation. >> congresswoman, do you think there is evidence that the president committed a crime? >> i do think there is evidence, but like my colleague said

let's see what gary cohn says. >> what gary cohn cohn says and the white house will say.omfortable to report on something so close to home. that is exactly what you have to do. >> cnn doesn't want to be in the middle of the story but cnn. just last week the government gave up and admitted defeat. it is notable that it took a very long time. if the president did try to interfere he did not succeed. >> great to see you. thank you. >>> we have this just also coming in. we were just talking about before the break talking about democrats launching sweeping new investigations into president trump. we are now learning that the list of trump associates that are being asked for documents as they are getting ready to launch the investigations, that number has grown. we are also learning more detail about what exactly democrats are looking into. what do you have? >> reporter: just moments ago the house judiciary chairman announced the sweeping investigation into allegations of obstruction of justice involving the president, allegations he abused his power in office and allegations t

gary cohn didn't come into the transition till much later. the book is that when news of the anbang meeting, no one knew about it till "the new york times" reported it around january 9th right before the inauguration. gary cohn, reince priebus and steve bannon were shocked when they read about it. and that is if you read the book very closely, that is what it actually says. i'm very aware that gary knew nothing about it in november 16th. but they were shocked. they had all gone into -- they were in transition going into a government with good faith with jared kushner. it's an example, stephanie, of lack of transparency. that's something really important. >> really important. if let's say jared while he was working for his family business was negotiating with anbank for months and months and then trump won, wouldn't it make sense for him to have dinner with a guy from anbang to say i'm out of this now passing the batten. >> but they weren't out of it. at the same time, he had the chinese government officials come and meet not at trump tower. t

respect gary cohn a lot and i think he is overstating the case.he white house feels confident about where they are with china negotiations. they're not in a big rush. if they wanted to make a deal next week, they could. it just wouldn't be a good deal. if you look at the stock market, the way the market has behaved, there is a broad expectation that a deal is going to happen. we won't necessarily see additional tariffs on china, there won't be an escalation in a trade war. the deal is just taking longer than some might like. i don't think they are desperate. -- is this as is hard issue for democrats to get their arm around? joel: a little bits, except donald trump has exploded hour trades good deficit to record levels. that's will hurt our economy. agriculturaltates bankruptcies going up because of soybeans. i think gary cohn knows about this. he knows more than me because he has lived in this world. is your measure of whether you think people in ,merica are doing well or not if that is your measure, you are playing it wrong. obama, when he was in

cohn told kelly, don't call the justice department, we're not going to do business that way. jane mayer joins me now. just another jane mayer exclusive in "the new yorker." you're detailing this relationship with fox news which is significant and only last night the president was doubling down with sean hannity, amid new scrutiny of his ties to fox news in your piece. what is the import here? aside from the fact that i inappropriately ordered the pressuring of the justice department to block a major merger. >> the question is, is the president -- has he been abusing his power to help his friends rupert murdoch, the mogul over at fox, and to hurt his enemies, the people at cnn. this was an order from the president to his top economic adviser in the white house to block a deal, a very major, multibillion dollar corporate deal. if they blocked the deal it was going to hurt cnn and help fox. it seems like he's trying to punish his enemies and help his friends by using the u.s. justice department. >> another thing you cite in this story is that fox killed the stormy daniels story,

i'm scott cohn. we'll have the story coming 3w4r57 . >>> the gross reindust got a bit of a surprise today. amazon is reportedly making a big push into that business with plans to open a dozen food stores in several cities. and you can see when theews ossed midday. kroger shares fell sharply. deidre bosa has more on what amazon may be considering. reporter: amazon may be getting deeper into the grocery business. a$650 billion market in the s. the e-commerce giant is planng to launch a new chain ofry gro stores, adding to its portfolio whole food the report says that amazon is anning dozens of these stores across the country and the first will open in los angeles as early as 2019. amazon has been experimenting with online groceries for over a decade. es 2017 purch of whole foods was a major step into the ick-and-mortar format and it has fther expanded its physical footprint with amazon go, a cashierless concept. shares of food retailers like kroger, target and walmart, they all moved lower on the news

been telling cohn to get this lawsuit filed. i've mentioned it 50 times and nothing has happened. i want to make sure it's filed. i want that deal blocked. we don't have to remind everybody the president's an mouse towards cnn. that's been on display for the last several years now, but the fact it might rise to the level intervening between two giant corporations. i really illustrates the extent in which the president may have wanted to go to cause a lot of discomfort. you heard manu talking about these congressional investigations. this is potentially an area that congress may want to look at and the house intelligence committee chairman adam schiff noted as much in a tweet that he posted earlier today. to carry out his vendetta against the press. he is attack td taz enemy of the people. congress must find out by seeking to interfere in a merger or raising postal rates on amazon. that reference to amazon.com. the shipping giant of products all over the world. vents his frus traces on amazon. he would go after the post, which is

and if roy cohn was donald trump's mentor. he was like a second father, a second father to donald trump. and so i was is so excited to be next to him. he said he's worked for four years in his townhouse in new york with 14 other lawyers. what did he learn about donald trump. he said donald trump was one of his major clients. and what was it all about? it was about not paying. that was all he did. trump didn't want to pay if the bill was legitimate. he didn't care. he wanted to prolong it. lawsuit9? he didn't care. he would prolong it over years. that was donald trump. well, i'd heard all these rumors about trump, you know, bribes and trump. so i wanted to know were there any bribes. did roy cohn take bribes, is that what he did. and this man kind of laughed, and he said, you don't bribe. if you bribe, you may go to jail. you do favors. i said, what do you mean by favors? and he said, you know, roy did all the work for the gambino mob family, and he did it for free. so whenever, so whenever roy needed a favor, he'd just call th

. >> his roy cohn. >> his roy cohn. and he said it -- he started trashing jeff sessions, who was nothing but loyal. nothing but loyal. >> got to give him that. >> got to give him that. whatever you have to say about jeff sessions, he was a complete loyalist. he delivered every policy issue that donald trump wanted. his sin, his sin was recusing himself from the mueller probe and not protecting the president. and we watched matthew whitaker make public statements as an analyst on cnn that sure sounded like auditioning for the job by saying i will be the one to throw myself on top of a grenade for you. >> there you have it. josh, if this grenade goes off, if nadler is right, based on your knowledge of this situation then what? >> well, i think the big question becomes whether this is part of the kind of thing that spurs the judiciary committee, which nadler is heading, to move more strongly in the direction of an impeachment, a formal impeachment inquiry or impeachment itself. it was just 24 hours ago it seemed like nadle

the president says to john kelly with gary cohn in the office and here's the quote "i've been tellingary to get this lawsuit filed and nothing's happening. i mentioned it 50 times." probably 50 times. okay. "and nothing's happened. i want to make sure it's filed. i want that deal blocked." i laugh at the 50 times. but obviously making a serious point. if it's saying that it's something he had pounded the table on and put pressure on someone to do. how significant is that exchange in that context? >> it's a clear abuse of power. >> if cohn or kelly will confirm this on the record perhaps under oath it's a clear abuse of power. it's not only unethical. it moves into this realm of abuse of power that the democrats are going to be very interested in. we've already heard today several top house democrats say they are interested in this, per concerned about this, and they want to get to the bottom of it. >> elie, tonight the chairman of the judiciary committee, who could be investigating this, said to me that it was an abuse of power. i don't want to talk about an impeachable act or not an

trump appoints gary cohn. he leaves goldman sachs. and gary cohn is going to have exactly one job.ewrite of the tax laws that will profoundly affect goldman sachs. what does goldman sachs do as gary walks out the door? they hand him nearly a quarter of a billion dollars. it's a gift. they don't have to. >> is it legal bribery? >> i think of it as a pre-bribe. >> pre-bribe? >> yes. so then gary goes out and guess what he does. he writes a tax law and manages to help ramrod it through that benefits goldman sachs to the tune of, oh, a quarter of a billion dollars in the first go around. and then it's the gift that keeps on giving. >> what you're saying makes sense and we have such ripe targets i think people could understand what you're pointing to. but what does it mean for the democratic party if this was also how obama and clinton ran the treasury? would you be a fundamental break with that is the question. >> the problem -- i have written the biggest anticorruption bill since watergate. because we have a fundamental problem in washington. and understand it's a problem that predate

gary cohn was what, number two at goldman sachs. mean, for the president to put him in that position, if this is true, it's -- i mean, neal, george conway, obviously, husband of kellyanne conway and frequent tweeter against the president said if "the new yorker" report is true, this could be grounds for impeachment on the basis that the president by working to stop the merger was basically trying to interfere with the first amendment. >> yeah, george is 100% right, as is jeff toobin. what trump is basically doing is bringing back king george iii, not just on his odious views of race and so on, but on the most fundamental value we face, which is free speech. that's the heart of our democracy. and this isn't like some antitrust technical thing. the allegation in this new yorker piece is that the president isolated cnn because hep didn't like their speech. that's what despots do. that's what people like putin do. and jeff's absolutely right. the core of impeachment, historically, if you look at the ratification debates is all about abu

gary cohn had to sell out of his goldman sachs shares and had to agree to have no communication with two years with executives at the firm at the lloyd blankfein level. where jared kushner didn't divest and then inside the white house meets with lloyd blankfein, who is involved in the cadre investment? >> this is a question -- i mean, they're not -- they were not appointed to a government position, these are not senate-confirmed positions. they have the office of ethics said that this arrangement they came up with was satisfactory. but there are still a lot of questions. and house democrats, if you go through the 81 document requests they made to people in the white house and in trump world, 52 out of those 81 document requests asks for information and documents that ivanka trump's ties, foreign governments and her business interests. >> so why does gary cohn -- >> the democrats are looking at emolument questions. >> but why did gary cohn and dina powell have to say out of their shares of goldman sachs, their former employer, and fully invest, but jared and ivanka don't. they're all

>> well, are you talking about cohn or the president?ould the president be saying that kind of thing -- >> should he be saying stop this merger? >> yeah. >> yeah, i don't think the issue is whether or not a president takes a position on a merger. i think it's the why. >> yes. >> that is of more relevance. >> exactly. >> and that may be harder to pick apart for a person. but, again, i think he made clear in the campaign that he was going to take this position. do i think that was a good idea? well, no. i'm a conservative, and i look at antitrust as a very handsoff approach, and i think he was being very aggressive here and inappropriately. >> but, lauer, it's all about the why. why would he have said it about the gain? every time he said it when you look at it contextually, is because he was pissed off at cnn? there was an obvious personal animus. >> he didn't just mention it in the campaign. he also issued a press release from the campaign saying that president trump would never allow this particular merger to go forward. and the answer

>> if cohn or kelly will confirm this on the record perhaps under oath it's a clear abuse of power.hical. it moves into this realm of abuse of power that the democrats are going to be very interested in. we've already heard today several top house democrats say they are interested in this, per concerned about this, and they want to get to the bottom of it. >> elie, tonight the chairman of the judiciary committee, who could be investigating this, said to me that it was an abuse of power. i don't want to talk about an impeachable act or not an impeachable act. would it be an impeachable act? anything could be legally. >> i look at it from a criminal perspective contradiction it be obstruction of justice? it could would not be your textbook obstruction of justice case. but if you break it down it would be. first of all it's an attempt. didn't succeed in blocking the merger. what it leads to is corrupt intent. it would be an abuse of power. it's corrupt intent if you're asking out of personal or political animus. >> which he was. not liking cnn and not liking its coverage. >> he's made

"the new yorker" reports the president ordered former economic adviser gary cohn to block the merger between at&t and time warner then the parent company of cnn. the president is quoted as saying "i've been telling cohn to get the lawsuit filed and nothing's happened. i mentioned it 50 times and nothing's happened. i want to make sure it's filed. i want that deal blocked." as to whether the president ordered gary cohn to try to block that merger between at&t and time warner, the white house has not responded to a slew of questions from cnn about this. and earlier today, the president was not asked about it in those couple of photo opportunities. there was no white house briefing today. so there was no opportunity to ask sarah sanders, the press secretary, about any of this. but getting back to the judiciary committee's investigation into trump world, that is just beginning. as some of the targets of that probe with receiving notification from the panel seeking these documents. i talked to one of those targets earlier today. this target of the nadler investigation told me that one les

and all of this is in stark contrast from what we used to hear from him. >> michael cohn, you told me day one he's going to win. >> i did. >> you never had a doubt? >> because i know mr. trump. i stood by him shoulder to shoulder for the past decade. i've seen him in action. i know when donald trump wants something, there's nothing that will stop him from achieving his goal. >> ever since that day he knows i have the same kind of crazy fight in me that he has in him. >> michael cohen is now suing his former client for nearly $2 million in what he says are unpaid legal fees. and joyce vance, this really has turned to the credibility of michael cohen, because there are now real clippers about whether he was telling the truth when he talked to the committee just last week or the week before. my sense of time is completely lost. i think it was the week before last, and said that he did not discuss a pardon with the president. the president final slimed to acknowledge it on friday. what's your view of whether he's in continued jeopardy? >> the problem that michael cohen has is not an unusu

what do you make of gary cohn's comments. >> i think history agrees with gary cohn.person september for maybe peter nova rono vairnavarro thinks the a good idea. tariffs have never worked. the republicans used to be the free traders. i don't understand why we think this is a good idea. i know we have to deal with the chinese. i don't think this is the way to deal with the chinese. cheryl: interesting. again, xi-jinping is under a lot of pressure from his own government. they're trying to protect their interests including this made in china 2025 initiative. let's talk about the other big market sorry, that's boeing. the stock is down half a percent this morning. we've seen billions of market cap lost on boeing and worries about the aircraft flying and now it's grounded in the u.s. that has been a bit of a drag on the dow. do you see this as a long-term problem for the market? >> not for the market, no. i do see it as a long-term problem for boing. the short-term -- for boeing. this appears to be a software glitch. it appears to be a stall mechanism that maybe or may n

cohn told a source there was pressurethe merger. at&t declined to comment.'s go to the cnn things first, the merger that was upheld by a federal appeals court, by the way. according to your reporting is this the way things went by gary cohn basically saying, gary, make sure these things don't go forward? >> i was laughing a little when you were reading the piece, it's an interesting piece but there's nothing read to me that was terribly surprising. i don't know that anyone who didn't know that trump was not pushing to stop the merger. it was fairly well known inside the white house and the independent deidea that he pressured cohn to stop the merger is not surprising. he did it with amazon. he doesn't understand why he can't unilaterally use his power to punish them. the president watches literally now anywhere from two to four hours of fox news a day. if you look at his tweets, the people he cites as evidence of his support or new ideas is about 80% fox news hosts. he hired bill shine, who is essentially producing much of fox news to produce the presidency

gary cohn, here's a guy who's at goldman sachs, big position there. he joins the trump administration and he basically is going to have one job and that is to try to write and ram through a tax bill. so what does goldman sachs do for gary on the way out the door? answer, they give him, give him about a quarter of a billion dollars on his way out the door. he then takes a job in washington, in the administration, economic adviser. he writes a tax bill that then rewards goldman sachs to the tune of about a quarter of a billion dollars in the first year and then turns out to be the gift that keeps on giving in terms of tax breaks. that is rigging the system. that is corruption right at the heart of this government. you know, you think of how it could even be legal that goldman sachs could offer a pre-bribe to somebody like gary cohn and with this revolving door, never clear to the american people. so is this guy actually working for the taxpayers? is he working for the american public, or is he just lining the pockets of his former and maybe future emplo

cohn had to sue at&t block the deal. the government did sue. the doj denied there was political interference at all. the deal did go through. because of the reporting, there are new questions about whether trump tried to interfere and abused his power. democrats in the house and senate say they're inve investigating. they want to get ahold of records from the white house and doj about contacts that may have happened. let's talk more about it with the congressman joining me now. great to see you. thank you for being here. what are you requesting, what documents you want to attain? >> good morning. when this was first reported, i asked attorney general sessions directly whether the white house or anyone on the president's behalf reached out to him in connection with the at&t time warner proposed merger. he refused to answer my question. the chairman refused to require him to tdo that. we made requests for documents from the administration with request for documents. we have renewed that request. again asking for any docume

and for some reason i did a character of roy cohn. >> jimmy: donald trump's lawyer.an for years, you know? what a character. >> jimmy: he just made you secretary of the interior. wow, that's pretty great. you saved all that old stuff? >> no, it's all burned. >> jimmy: it's funny, because i think that's the kind of thing you want to cherish, and somehow it gets lost or whatever. did you guys make crank calls and that sort of thing? >> we did. we used to call wfan all the time. >> jimmy: sports radio. >> and we would say i think patrick ewing should be playing point guard. he's a really attractive man. and then they would hang up. >> jimmy: that's a lot of fun. >> thank you. >> jimmy: so you, you are going to austin, texas, right? >> that's correct. we are shooting at south by southwest in austin, which was a city that was invent ted by foo trucks. >> jimmy: in a way it was, i think you're right. >> have you been to south by before? >> jimmy: i have. >> it's really fun. and it's this massive thing. i've been going for years. i remember going originally for the music. a

the then-chief white house economic adviser, gary cohn, was on the brink. quitting.ho wanted him in the first place -- ivanka trump who wanted him in the first place and told him "my dad didn't mean it." and now to "kushner, inc." the kushner camp is hitting back against the book's voracity and author, vicky ward. a spokesman for kushner said that every point that ms. ward mentioned in which she called her fact-checking stage was entirely false. she's written fiction rather than any serious attempt to get the facts, correcting everything wrong would take too long and be pointless. and the white house i should add calls the book, quote, sad fiction. cnn contributor michael dantonio wrote the book "truth about trump." glad to have you back. let's start with the piece on charlottesville where ivanka trump reportedly said to gary cohn my dead innocent-- my dad . given all that you know about the family dynamic, how often has ivanka trump had to defend her father on things like this? >> she's been put in this position time and time again really throughout her adult life.

he ordered gary cohn to pressure the justice department to intervene in a lawsuit. first want to go to dylan. without getting into details of anti-trust and all this, why is the president of the united states working for fox? >> well, you have to almost reverse engineer this, okay? fox news has from its inception been a business, and it is focused on bottom line. the business that rupert murdoch saw in the united states was that he could capitalize on the anxieties and resentment of conservatives who feel like they didn't have a voice in the media. >> just what he did in britain and australia, go down market and to the right. down market and to the right. >> that was a huge business opportunity. and for 20 years that built up over time to a place where its ultimate realization was president trump. that was the ultimate realization of the fox news business model. now -- >> who's the toy here? the president or fox? >> well, look, fox is doing great from the bottom line perspective. i think trump has ensured that he has a core base that he can reach through fox news. l
