corey lewandowski, trump's former campaign manager. welcome to the program. what a week this was. how would you describe this week for the president? >> let me first echo what judge gonzales said. our thoughts and prayers are with the mccain family. i want to remember a man who served our country with great admiration and was honorable. i want to thank the mccain family. but what we have seen once again the mueller investigation which was designed to look at potential collusion between the trump campaign and the russian outside influence has no bearing, has not produced one scintilla of evidence that there was collusion, cooperation or coordination between the trump campaign and anybody from an outside source to impact an election. what i think is important is the mueller investigative team finishes their investigation, reports that to the department of justice, and we put an tent to this investigation which it has been demonstrated had nothing to do with the election of 2016. sandra: but you have to know how that looks, two people close to the president. the optics of it, does it

corey lewandowski was on and here's what he said about it. >> i haven't spoken to the president about it directly. if he asked me, and i'm not an attorney, but my advice would be not to sit down with bob mueller. there's been no evidence that this president did anything wrong that the campaign did anything wrong during the campaign. and the opportunity to make a misstatement potentially or to potentially get caught up in the word is is too great of something that could happen there. >> so my question is, what does it say that everyone around the president has such a fear about the president lying or misspeaking to the special counsel? >> right. right. i mean, it says a couple things. the minimum it says is he's a very sloppy nondetail oriented very hard to prepare kind of witness, very erratic, could blurt things out. but there's a deeper sub text here. i think they're aware of it. he's got real criminal vulnerabili vulnerability. this is not a question of what's the meaning of is. this is a question of a lot of details that would tend to show that he's guilty of obstruction of justic

i didn't mention corey lewandowski or steve bannon. >> right. so the best people running the white house. >> the best people. he's saying he's going to hire the most qualified people. and then in the end, she always said nice things about him. >>> the number of people killed in italy's bridge collapse continues to rise. we'll take a closer look at bridges here in the united states. at least according to the latest numbers, at least one out of every ten bridges here are in dire need of repair. up next, where is president trump's infrastructure plan? >> there's been a lot of infrastructure weeks. >> three of them at least. you're watching "velshi & ruhle." and i'm still going for my best even though i live with a higher risk of stroke due to afib not caused by a heart valve problem. so if there's a better treatment than warfarin, i'm up for that. eliquis. eliquis is proven to reduce stroke risk better than warfarin. plus has significantly less major bleeding than warfarin. eliquis is fda-approved and has both. so what's next? seeing these guys. do

our guest today is corey lewandowski, president trump's first campaign manager and a senior strategist for vice pence.nt welcome. mr. lewandowski grew up outside of boston in the great commonwealth of massachusetts. he studied political science at the umass lowell and then grad school at american university and has worked in politics ever sense on capitol hill for the rnc. campaign manager for new hampshire senator bob smith, and he is also working as a new hampshire state public safety officer, i read. 2008, he started working for americans of prosperity and stayed until 2015 when a little-known businessman named donald trump asked him to run his presidential campaign. in 2016, mr. lewandowski and the trump campaign parted company but he is hardly faded from public view. in december, he and his friend published a book "let trump be trump." mr. lewandowski new york times bestseller. live are on the record, no blogging or tweeting while the breakfast is underway. there is no embargo when the session ends at 10:00 a.m. we have a photographer who will be here and he will take pictures and

jesse: here to react, former trump campaign manager corey lewandowski and gina loudon the head of trump'sdvisory board. one of my favorite moments is when he pits the people against the powerful. he talks about the elites. i believe he has stolen this trick from the democrats who always campaign for the little guy against the campaign business interests. he ripped that out of their pocket and now owns that line. president trump: msnbc is so corrupt and disgusting. i would say almost their worse, almost worse. they are a fake news group of people. and here's the good news. the guys that we love, right? they are blowing them away in the race. hannity, laura ingraham, tucker carlson, steve doocy. so many others. they are blowing them away in the race. oh, excuse me, i would have been in big trouble. the great lou dobbs. right? but you see, oh, maria -- maria bartiromo. i'm in trouble. i know i left out probably 10. but i didn't think i would be doing this. but they are blowing them away. cnn is down at the bottom of the totem poll. msnbc isn't even close to being next these shows. they are m

and corey lewandowski, great supporters. i tell you, they are two fighters. we started off with a small group. and they were done quite easily, quite handily. we were never off center stage. never left center stage. i always want numbers. i never wanted to be tied -- does anybody understand? we never left center stage and i tell you corey, david, ivanka, laura, don junior, all of them were fantastic. they were fantastic. i have to say our first lady is home watching all those cameras right there. she is on one. and everybody loves milania. they love milania. she is doing a fantastic job. this last week it was announced the us economy grew at 4.1%. and a number somebody said was not reachable, and during the campaign even though i believed it. they would not have given us the break. they are fake. you believe, look at this, every night it is the same thing, wouldn't you think they get tired of thesees and if they don't get ratings those speeches don't go on, doesn't matter, look how many, they can't get enough, they can't get enough. they cannot get enough. we

corey lewandowski. welcome back.hat do you make of this strategy and the president's attorney sort of forcing the timeline of special counsel? >> i think what mayor giuliani is doing is asking for a conclusion to something that's been going on for two years. the american people deserve a conclusion. if the mueller investigators found evidence that they should write that report and prit to the department of justice so we can go on with it. but there hasn't been any. there is no evidence there will be is no collusion. there is no cooperation between the russians and the trump campaign. let's not bring this through the mid-term election. it does a disservice to the country. kennedy: if it goes past the mid-term, does that benefit the president? >> i don't think it hurts or benefits the president either way. but the american people are tired of it. there has not been one scintilla of evidence that the president or our team did anything to impact the outcome of the election. the only ones trying to impact the election thr

records uncovered by the new york attorney general show mind the scenes then campaign manager corey lewandowskigood deeds would be used for political gain. the day after the fundraiser. he writes to the trump organization chief financial officer. is there any way we can make dispersements this week in iowa? he writes back. put together a list of the iowa veterans groups you have in mind along with dollar amounts. according to the new york attorney general office, using the donated money to boost the campaign violates rules. which prohibit making expenditures to influence the out come of an election. in a letter, the attorney general office has passed on its evidence for a possible irs investigation to determine if donald trumps foundation and donald trump himself may have broken federal tax laws. mark owens ran it for ten years. >> the evidence that the new york attorney general has collected suggests very strongly. in fact i would say close to conclusively that the donald trump foundation was used to support two facilitate. his campaign. >> the attorney general complaint lists other examples o

why the white house which once upon a time had steve bannon and mike flynn and scaramucci and corey lewandowski who populated the administration hat washed out. there is a learning curve for every president. for this president it was steep. you can't have somebody like omarosa work for you in the white house. somebody who is a reality show villain is not going to exhibit the devotion to the president and the people necessary for the job. kennedy: she knew all along she would get fired. it ended badly in the clinton white house. and she newt on the way she was going to make any money was to write a juicy book. she took a syringe and juiced up the whole thing by recording as many conversations as she should knowing this would culminate and eclipse the news cycle for days. so as far as the marketing strategy, i would say good job, you. >> selling a lot of books, no doubt. but her big allegation about donald trump using the n word as an adult man in recent years. if that tape is out there, it will be a terrible consequence for the nation and the republican party. and it will be bad news all along.

corey lewandowski and sam clovis. do we need his cooperation if they have all the e-mails. >> so let me ask you this, and maybe you know the answer, maybe we don't know yet. if mueller says that papadopoulos lied to investigators and should be sentenced to jail, is this the initial lie or subsequent lie as you described people thought papadopoulos must be cooperating. >> my take is this is a sentencing recommendation. but the issue was he was hoping for probation for his cooperation and it doesn't appear that they are going in that direction. >> what we have to glean is for the crime, does six-month seem like a long time or unusually punitive or where it would be. in other words, is mueller mad at him or is this what he gets? >> mueller is mad at him because cooperators hope not to get any time at all. one count of lying is a standard sentence within the guidelines. often those cases, the judge sentences the person to no jail time at all or less than six months. remember the lawyer vander swan did not get six months.

. >> the the allegation of donald from using a racial slur, corey lewandowski said he never heard that word and there was never a conversation about a tape. >> former spokeswoman for the trump campaign, senior advisor katrina pearson back tonight live to comment. let's try to get this straight so we don't have to have you on a third night in a row. apparently omarosa was watching us last night, she told reverend noah she had you tell me you knew nothing about a conference call talking about whether the president use the inward, you said this was a movie script, she said she has an audio tape. >> that is not true as well. two things occurred last night in our discussion. you read for me a book excerpt that i had not seen because her book is not come out yet and referenced me having been speaking to the president about this and that is false. we have transcript today of the tape omarosa release that proved that to be true and also i will say omarosa played cbs today. she has been on this campaign trail or on her book trail and her interview with chuck todd made a specific claim about me.

i want to thank david bowcy, being sheer, corey lewandowski for being here, two of our great supportersi'll tell you, they are two fighters. we like fighters, don't we? we started off, it was a small group. they said it couldn't be done. it was done quite easily. we won quite handily. we were never off center stage. you know what that means, right, the debates. we never left center stage. and i said, i always want odd numbers because i want to be in the center. i didn't want to be tied for the center. does everybody understand? but we never, we never left center stage. and i'll tell you, cory, david, ivanka, lara, eric, don jr., all of them, they were fantastic. they were fa fantastic. and i have to say our first lady is home watching. look at al all of those cameras right there. she's home watching. and everybody loves melania. they love melania. she's doing a fantastic job. just last week it was announced that the u.s. economy grew at 4.1% last quarter. it was a number that everybody said was not reachable and i would never want to say it during the campaign, even though i believed it

we don't know who that number was an one of the president's former advisers corey lewandowski said that the president has a blocked, private number. an issue of possible inquiry for the special counsel. one day later, june 7th, two days before that trump tower meeting, president trump teed up to have a major speech upcoming seeming to tease the possibility of dirt on hillary clinton. have a listen to what he said then. >> i am going to give a major speech on probably monday of next week and we're going to be discussing all of the things that have taken place with the clintons. i think you are going to find it very informative and very, very interesting. >> reporter: that speech did not happen but when you look at that chronology of events there at least raise questions for the special counsel piecing together the e-mail communications, what happened in that meeting an we know from witnesses in that meeting and several of whom testified under oath with the public statements by the president and others around that time one reason why we know that this at least has been a line of inquiry f

corey lewandowski is another example. we'll see if hope appears on stage tonight. >> i find it interesting because i i remember a few weeks ago the president hinted at maybe she wants to come back to the white house. perhaps more to that. thank you, as you continue to cover ohio where the president will be speaking in a couple of hours with the back drop of the drama around lebron james and the first lady's public opposition to her husband's tweet coming hours before that rally in ohio. lebron james 'home state. let's talk about it with cnn national political reporter for real clear politics. and cnn political reporter "washington post" columnist kathryn rampell. what do you make of the first lady contradicting her husband, taking sides with lebron james in this spat, even making sure to note her be best campaign. >> and that she would in fact be open to visiting lebron james's felon throppic inhibitingive. it does fit into the be best campaign such as it is. it seems to be about encouraging good behavior amongst children

corey li corey lewandowski was not an ideal campaign manager. trump lacks the discipline, patience and sophistication to attract "a" level people. he always talks about playing three-dimensional chess, most of the time it's like third graders playing bin go -- bingo. they weren't oriented toward putting high quality people in the white house. a lot of people hitched their stars to his wagon. they ended up with people who were incompetent or had bad motives. >> kim, when you look at this kind of case, what would you expect in the timeline of this jury to make a decision? >> well, i think it will -- it should be swift. if it's not swift, then i think that's really going to be a concern for the government. but i want to make up -- >> just to get that point, and then you can go ahead. you're saying the longer they're deliberating, the worse that is for mueller because it suggests a holdout in otherwise what could be a, quote, slam dunk case? >> correct. it sounds like the instructions were read verbally, which is unusual, and the instructions set fo

corey lewandowski telling cnn, president trump actually hasn't asked him, but if he did he would tell him he shouldn't sit down with the interview with robert mueller. surprising? >> not surprising. i think any lawyer, any staffer, any handler for the president who knows him is going to be very leery of him sitting down. one is always cautious with a client sitting down for an interview with prosecutors and fbi agents. president trump has shown an inability to stay on message or stay disciplined that if i were his lawyer, i would be petrified. >> we heard that. we heard from his legal team in the past. they don't want him sitting down. the president has at least been making the case or sources have been making the case for the president that he wants to. is there a chance that that could be part of the legal strategy, even just putting that out there? the president wants to sit down but nobody will let him. that could help him in the court of public opinion. >> absolutely. i think that part of giuliani's public relations strategy has been working well. they seem very much geared towar

this is a man that corey lewandowski, trump's former campaign manager, said knew about every dime that left the building. and weisselberg even worked for the president's father. and so, he's been in the orbit a long time. and trump's sons still work for the trump organization. they still lead it. so, it kind of must be awkward in the office right now. >> yes. he knows the secrets. daniel lippman, joey jackson, thank you. >> thank you, victor. >> thank you. >>> well, hurricane lane is a tropical storm this morning. yes, it has weakened. but listen, look at what they're dealing with here. i mean, the rainfall is massive. there is still the threat of flash flooding and landslides there in hawaii. >>> and then, adding insult to injury, some people there in maui have lost their homes from a brush fire. who would have thought, who would have guessed? an energy company helping cars emit less. making cars lighter, it's a good place to start, advanced oils for those hard-working parts. fuels that go further so drivers pump less. improving efficiency is what we do best. energy lives here. improv

let's get after it with former trump campaign manager corey lewandowski.k to "prime time." >> thank you, chris. great to be here. >> why so freaked out all of a sudden? >> well, look, i don't think it's freaked out. what i think it is, is the president and by and large the american people are tired of an investigation which has proven nothing of collusion, cooperation, or coordination between the trump campaign and russians or anybody else for that matter and it's time to bring this witch hunt to a close. >> but then wouldn't you ignore it, corey? if it doesn't matter, if nothing's really coming out, ignore it. focus on all the great things you're doing. >> well, the president has done amazing things since he's been in office for the first 20 months. if you look at the unemployment rate, you look at the economy, you look at african-american unemployment, hispanic unemployment, women unemployment, young people unemployment, all at the lowest in recorded history. but this is something that's hanging over the administration, which should never have been launc

. >> corey lewandowski, david b s bossi on the trips. >> the original campaign crew now have his ear. i think he feels that he is going to go back to basics, back to the original program, which got him to where he was in the white house. so, sure, he's feeling the heat legally. he's thinking about mueller. but he's also feeling liberated and that's why he wants to maintain that connection with his devoted base. >> you've got me. i think there's probably some truth in both what heidi said and matthew said. is liberated another word for unhinged? >> is that a polite word? >> you say tomato, i say to-mah-to. >> he clearly does feel unchained to go out and be trump on the campaign trail who was outrageous by design. that was his brand was outrageousness. now, he is president of the united states. that's a bad brand for the president of the united states, but he's -- but that's what he is. >> look, the anger. there's definitely anger here. >> there's anger, yeah. >> gabe sherman of "vanity fair" who always seems to be well sourced with some of people personally close to the president, here

corey lewandowski. if you don't know scaramucci, and you know omarosa. gorka, and in the background, that's rob porter the former staff secretary. how many of these people -- these people were all working at the white house when this picture was dayen. how many of them work at the white house now, brooke? >> zero. >> zero. >> zero. >> all of these people are gone. and i will tell you it's not just this picture, again, six in ten top level trump staffers do not work at the white house anymore. 18 months. it's the kind of boss he is. he plays people against one another. he is willing to possible publicly shame people as he has done we petedly with sessions, who continues to be the attorney general tide and despite being scared stiff and beleaguered and weak. it is a remarkable thing, it is not normal piece of the presidency that has redesigned not normal to be a president means. back to you. >> you are one of our best people for rolling through that. >> always, not a b or a c list person. >> i got you. chris lizza thank you so much. we have the security as

today, turmeric, former trump campaign manager corey lewandowski said he never heard that word and there was never a conversation about a cape. ed? >> ed: trace gallagher starting us off tonight. thank you. the former spokesman for the 2017 trump campaign, current senior advisor to a 2020 campaign, katrina pierson, as i promised, back life to come on. great to have you two nights in a row. let's get this straight so we don't have you at their night in a row. apparently omarosa was watching us last night because i got an email that you told trevor noah at "the daily show" she heard me tell you that you knew nothing about conference call, talking about whether the president used for n-word, you said this was a movie script. so she she says, she released at least one of these audiotapes to show you lied to us. >> look, first of all, that is not true as well. there are two of two things that occurred last night in our discussion. you have read for me a book excerpt that i have not seen because the book cannot come out yet, and you referenced mean having been speaking to the president. that i

. >> it went to his foundation, or the campaign, rather, sorry, and corey lewandowski directed how the to me, is a sham. it was supposed to go to the veterans. the other thing about the foundation, he was taking people's donations, people who believe the money is going to charitable causes, and buying portraits of himself and paying off, you know, sort of friends here and there. >> we have to see what the investigation yields. and we have to see whether or not it's illegal. then you get to the ultimate question. now, let's bandy about this idea. by the way, if you want to know what happened with the episode that finney and santorum are talking about with the trump foundation during that debate that he didn't want to go to, go to david farenthold's reporting, he traced the money. you can do your own homework on that. is this something that they can charge him with? probably not. he's a sitting president. is it something mueller would want to take up? probably not. it does not seem in any way attached to his probe. could congress take it up? yes, and it would be a political question. do

the plane with some of his friends, some of the people who have been around him, people like corey lewandowski were on the plane. what our team in the white house were told that essentially the president was being riled up by the talk on this plane where they're encouraging essentially for him to try to figure out a way to end this investigation, that, again, the problem is jeff sessions, because jeff sessions recused himself. and the way for this all to end is to simply get jeff sessions to end this. obviously there is a lot of detail that they're missing which is that jeff sessions counts himself out of this investigation. it's not that simple. the president has the ability to shut down this investigation if he wants to. he's not doing that yet, and he's not firing jeff sessions, at least not just yet. >> all right. evan perez, appreciate it. now richard blumenthal, democrat of connecticut. he serves on the senate judiciary committee. thank you so much for being with us. the idea first of all this new reporting that the mueller team is willing to reduce the number of questions. does that mak

but the period after corey lewandowski left and when paul was essentially head of the campaign was a relatively shorter stretch, and his main focus was on the convention. but i do think this has been misportrayed in the media where i think it's come across as though president trump wouldn't have been able to get through the republican convention if it wasn't for paul manafort. did paul manafort help prevent some of the brain damage if it had gone forward and there had been a floor fight and such things like that? of course. but was there any chance that president trump was going to get caught up at convention or he wasn't going to get through or anything like that? of course not. let's not go and blow it out of proportion. so the role that he played was a relatively shorter amount of time. and i don't think we need to go and blow that out of proportion. but again, everything that's happening to paul manafort, those are paul manafort problems. those are not donald trump problems. >> it's harder to blow it out of proportion, jeff, if your title is chairman of the campaign. it seems lik

. >> laura: joining me now for reaction, former trump campaignk manager corey lewandowski and jason nicholscratic strategist. all right, jason, let's start with you. what about the president's thoughts here? a lot of conservatives that i talked to think, wait a second, my impressions on twitter are way down with no real clue as to why, search results seem to kind of speak to themselves when you put in "trump and news," it's all negative. what do you think? >> first of all, when we look at the search results on google, just like when you do a google scholar search, what you get are the sources that receive the most citations, the ones that are cited the most, the ones that actually have the most news bureaus. so this has nothing to do with politics. if he wants better stories, then create better news. it's what he -- >> laura: like consumer confidence at an 18 year high? >> 2500 kids beingtr traumatized, being separated, being accused in court under oath of committing a crime, a lot of things that he has done that actually show he doesn't have a whole lot of good news to talk about. >> laura
