remarkably stable, barely moving from surveys conducted right before and right after the manafort and cohen news. daney were flummoxed over at msnbc today, chris jansen -- i was to work with her years ago -- she was like, what do you make of this? the president's numbers aren't moving. i'm screaming at the tv, dan, during my radio show, saying, because the media are irrelevant. nobody cares about what you say is the worst week. dan bongino? >> laura, i've been honored to be doing cable news appearances for a long time. are you to do other networks. i don't anymore, for obvious reasons, they don't want to report the news. you know what they do another networks? they washed it was happening on fox. to those of the networks now, listen, everybody is laughing at you. they are not laughing with you. they are laughing at you. you know, laura, that's our minds of an article i read, i forgot what it was, but i think jonah goldberg wrote that. he read wrote about how the governments war on smoking work. everybody knew a smoker, they know how to get them to quit, and it mattered. the media has no idea whatsoev

cohen still a friend? >> it is really nice. i haven't spoken to michael in a long time. >> always liked michael, until last night, apparentl lapparent. contributor joist van contributor joyce vance. and dan, now an msnbc legal analyst who was in the courtroom during the trial. joyce, i'll start with you. the president comparing michael cohen unfavorably to manafort, suggesting manafort didn't, quote, unquote, break, right? what does that say to you about the possibility that paul manafort may end up getting a green light on a pardon from the president? >> this isn't subtle. the president doesn't make any effort to hide what he's saying here. he's saying that people who remain loyal have some chance maybe of pardon. people who break from the herd are no longer part of his inner circle, are no longer people he considers friends. you have to wonder about this tweet, where he sort of discredits michael cohen as a lawyer, since he's the one who hired him in the first place. it is clear that paul manafort is in pardon territory in this president's mind. the only question is how congress will view that, if it actually happens. it would have to be a bridge too far. giving a pardon to someone who

addressing lanny davis and michael cohen report without answering questions. joining us now ari and danen the source says they were wrong and still standby the report. why do i think they don't care about the truth. they will just make it up. >> this is stunning. this is such a mistake by cnn. i can't understand it. cbs retracted the story. everybody did except cnn. it's a bombshell that cnn reported. all of which anti-trump and none of which came true. 4 out of 5 they had to retract. they don't want to retract this one. i don't know why. >> dan, i believe that the president calling out fake news has done more damage i think in a positive way. it's something we conservatives said for a long time. there is a liberal bias in the press. i think they will be viewed with skepticism that maybe didn't exist in the mind of the mass population before. >> for guys like me, that bias is real. i had arguments about facts like 2 plus 2 equals 4 and the liberal media person, no it's 4.5. you would being a trump scoop that cnn got at least once would be a pro-trump scoop. the problem is all of cnn's s

development that we've learned now post the guilty plea by michael cohen, again that we got in court shortly after 4:00 p.m. on tuesday. >> dan goldman, let's be very clear about what a grant of immunity is, because this is not the same as being a cooperating witness. this is basically someone who has some legal exposure but has proffered enough to prosecutors of what he could offer that interests them enough to give them a free pass, basically, by granting immunity. this also affects, and we'll talk about this in a moment, again, david pecker from "the national inquirer," but weisselberg knows where all the bodies are buried financially in the trump organization. >> that's right, andrea. there are two different paths this could take. one is that weisselberg is granted immunity, which is an immunity order, it means that his testimony in the grand jury cannot be used against him. the other path, which is often used by prosecutors, is sort of an in between cooperation agreement. we know about the cooperation agreements of rick gates, michael flynn, where they plead guilty to crimes and agree to cooperate. there is an in-between

dan: i think that's the big question. is the grant of immunity to the wo of them mostly aimed at shoring up what michael cohen has pleaded to, or does i open up every areas for the special counsel to investigate, to explore, and perhaps to find other things where trump or the trump organization have committed crimes or have done, you know, done shady things?'t we dnow the answer to that. but i think that one thing we see, as molly suggested, is that this case ctinues to build and it builds up and builds out. and all of that surrounds donald trump at thisnt p and so we -- you know, we have to wait for theonusion but these two men know a heck of a lot of stuff that could be problematic for trump. >> and molly you know a heck of a lot about michael cohen, you've covered him for years. you know him a reporter, his whims, his personality. what drove him to coopera, to make this, to plead guilty? molly: i should say i've spoken to him in t past, i haven't spoken to him recently, i don't think a lot of reporters have. but this is someone who had suci an ince -- incredibly close relationship with donald trump. tpwhack 2011, he w

dan f found themselves stamped with guilty. paul manafort eight counts of crimes, and michael cohen also pleading guilty.this doesn't even get to the 28 people and three separate russian entities that are facing charges related to the mueller investigation. that's a lot. i want to bring in my legal panel. midwin charles, an attorney for the law firm midwin charles and associates. glenn kirschner, a former federal prosecutor. glenn, the president continues to tweet. a large number of counts, ten could not even be decided in the paul manafort case. witch hunt. does the president have a point here. you've got ten counts that manafort hasn't been found guilty of. >> no, he doesn't have a point, stephanie. listen, particularly in white collar cases there are a lot of technicalities. it's not unusual for the jury to split the baby and return guilty on some. they didn't find paul manafort not guilty of anything. they merely hung. that may be enough to commit or as a holdout. we don't know. paul manafort will be sentenced on those eight felony counts. and the other ten counts that information can be used as rele

cohen's is what you're saying. >> absolutely. absolutely. the u.s. attorney used the language that's in the -- i take it it's in the information. maybe dan has that as well. the charging document. but i think the u.s. attorney isn't going to use his name in a formal document or proceeding and mike cohen was likely told he's not allowed to. >> so far we're still awaiting word from the white house or the president's legal team. kristen welker's standing by from the white house. it's one of those days i remember you stand, stand, we're all waiting. it's one of these rolling crazy news days as we've been going from courthouse to courthouse along the eastern seaboard here. kristen, what do we have? anything yet? i know you're a frequent communicator with mr. giuliani. >> we're also checking our phones every few minutes, chuck, and so far nothing. but but i have been told the legal team is going to be putting out a statement in short order. as soon as i get that i'll bring that to you and to our viewers. i know the president has just landed in west virginia. he has sort of saved by the rain. it was pouring when he departed. we didn't have a ch

michael cohen is on the hook for it right now. >> we have not heard from dan yet. >> it has been a busy news day. good to see the speed of the news cycle. it is about 7-10 seconds long these days. they have an expression in corporate america on quarterly filings. you take a bath. put all the bad news in on one filing. this all came out today. your perspective, i mean, it is their lasting political damage from this question work a lot of this was baked into the cake with trump supporters. on the >> jesse: manafort casee ulterior motives for the prosecution going after that. is there a real political lasting damage for this? >> i don't think we note the answer to that. i think it is the beginning of an effort to really put the squeeze on some of these people and potentially, where does that lead? we don't know. we do know that the mueller team seems to be moving a little quicker on a number of fronts. the goal, as we are hearing here in washington, is to get some kind of interim report out before the midterms, possibly by early september. if that is the case, all of these little pieces to

dan yny cevallos. he's at the courthouse. let me play the now infamous tape. a recording cohen made with then candidate donald trump discussing what cohen says was a possible payment to a former playboy model. we should note the trump camps disputes the characterization. >> when it comes time for the financing, which will be -- >> no, no. >> no, i got it. >> so what are the implications for trump? where's his vulnerable exposure so to speak? >> it would mostly be campaign finance law. was he aware in contradiction to the statement he made on air force one, aware that these payments -- >> all right it seems like we're having some audio problems with danny cevallos. let me remind everyone, the two different comments rudy giuliani has made about michael cohen. listen to this. >> he doesn't have any incriminating evidence about the president or himself. the man is an honest honorable lawyer. i expected something like this from cohen. he's been lying all week or for two -- he's been lying for years. there's nobody i know that knows him that hasn't warned me if his back is against th

headlines here on al-jazeera now dan transform a lawyer has pleaded guilty to breaking campaign finance laws during the two thousand and sixteen election michael cohen says trump directed him to pay money to women the president allegedly had affairs with and in virginia a jury found former trump campaign manager paul matter for guilty of eight fraud charges both cases emerge from robert muller's investigation into alleged russian interference the u.s. national security adviser says a lot more pressure will be applied to iran over its nuclear plans and syria john bolton has been holding three days of talks in israel he suggested working with russia to get iranian forces out of syria. consequences of the reduction in resources available to the regime we think is already manifested in some extent in constraints on the could force in. in syria and iraq and perhaps also in its assistant to the hutus in yemen and that's very important we're going to do other things to put pressure on iran as well beyond economic sanctions now tech giants facebook twitter and microsoft have deleted hundreds of fake accounts and websites in twenty four hours facebook says t

cohen, paul manafort and the mueller investigation. all of that with the midterms looming. i want to bring in matt lewis and dankrfrn contributor, the author of the great revolt. a great book, welcome one and all. let's start with the author of the great revolt. the president is heading to pennsylvania, he's going to have another rally tomorrow. last night's rally, if that was any indication, he's going to go all out are you concerned at all about how these rallies are going, the lies, the aggression toward reporters and on and on? sometimes i feel like we're in groundhog day, right? i think it's a little more amped up right now. people have looked at the results from the special elections, and they see that the democrats are excited, and energized to come out. and they believe that they need to -- they need to be at that pitch as well. and so i think we're just. i think it's going to be this way, every day -- not every day, but every rally we see him host or speak at. going to be the exact same way, now, i didn't see the whole rally, i didn't see the whole thing. i did see some of the parts that acosta tweeted

cohen. so it is not that surprising that we would see state prosecutors looking into some of this criminal activity. >> and dan, again, as a nonlawyer, i know about famous court cases involving business entities. i know about the enron case. i know about the arthur andersen case. oil companies and stuff like that. i don't know that much about what it means for there to be a criminal charge against a business like the trump organization. if that happens, if this manhattan district attorney's office does bring criminal charges against the organization, against the business, does that mean that the people who are the principals of that business essentially have to answer for the business's behavior if there is -- if things go prosecutor's way and that kind of prosecution is brought and the business entity gets in a lot of the trouble, do the people associated with that business get in trouble or does the business just go out of business? >> so the corporate officers the ones who have a duty, a fipushr duty can get in trouble. it naturally has a trickle down effect to all the employees if a company is charged. so

cohen's guilty plea, manafort's felony conviction and the president's fight with jeff s sessions. we're interested in what do big name republican donors think about this? let's talk to one of them. dan everhart is here. i met you years ago. you formed this company and really cashed in on the big oil boom in north dakota. you have been more and more vocal there since then as a donor and a member of the republican party, a big supporter of the president. what is your assessment of how this week was for president trump? >> i think it's been a pretty bad week for him. but i think he has a history of bouncing back and seems to relish sometimes being down and coming out swinging. >> you know, we have seen it's been hard to move his poll numbers from helsinki, the "access hollywood" tape, he has bounced back. you said to npr this week, big picture for the republican party, that the republican party needs a united front when it cops to suppocop cop -- when it comes to support for the president. did this week make it harder to get that united front? >> all this negative coverage about manafort and cohen and the feud with jeff sessions leads to republicans not being able to get their message

cohen report, without answering any questions about her." joining us now the reaction from a former white house press secretary ari fleischer. nra tv contributor, former secret service agent, dances they were wrongwr and they still stand by the report, why do i think they don't care about the truth? they w will make it up. >> it is stunning. such a mistake by cnn, can't understand it. right before he came on the air, cbs retracted its story. everyone has retracted the story except cnn. it's the fifth and my playbook, bombshell, cnn reported, all of which are anti-trim, none of which came true, and cnn has egg on its face. they had to retract and they don't want to attract this one. i don't know why. >> sean: dan, to me, i believe that the president calling out fake news has done more damage, i think, and a very positive way, something we conservatives have set for a long time, there is a liberal bias in the press. i think there will forever be viewed with cesc to skepticism that maybe did not exist in the minds of the mass population before. >>ay sean, for guys like me who run for office before and have dealt with the press in a different way, that bias is real, no one is goin

do not hire michael cohen but this is something it ministration cannot backed away for too long the only response from sarah huckabee sanders on tuesday was to say please refer to dan chance outside counsel these aren't questions donald trump can push away any longer these are serious implications serious charges at some point he has to address them and then there is the former campaign chairman michael. pullman a ford who'd been convicted on eight counts and he still for. more scrutiny always possible that he may cooperate with the investigation. that is very possible i was at the court yesterday when those eight counts came down there were ten other counts that were declared a mistrial the prosecution has now the option to try and retry those ten counts but there is yet another trial here in washington d.c. next month in which there is said to be four times as much evidence against paul manifold than there was in the first trial in virginia at the moment is facing the rest of his life behind bars at the age of seventy that is not a prospect that anyone would look forward to and there is according to some legal commentators the possibility that paul metaphor may w

for years, dan everhart, a republican who made a ton of monoin the north dakota oil boom, who's a huge advocate for the president, he seems to be changing his tune. he told you guy this is cohenquake. cohen admitting trump told him to commit a crime. people in trump world have been spinning and spinning, how do you spin a fact? this is a hard fact in a formal setting that is unavoidable. how much of a threat is it to even staunch supporters of the president? >> well, it's do what the president's supporters do. we quoted josh holmes, a respected gop strategist who said yesterday on the phone i don't think trump voters care that much if he had an affair with stormy daniels or telling the truth about it. i don't think anyone has been banking on him to tell the truth about it. i think the gop establishment will follow the cue of what voters do and if you see him dragging down his numbers, if you see new revelations on the mueller probe, if you see cohen come out with more damaging facts i think you could see slippa slippage. i'm not sure among the president's supporters they'll see this as a reason to move away from him. a lot of folks i talked to say this is baked 234 and you ha

charges could be coming within the next two weeks for michael cohen who is under federal investigation. ainsley: all right. let's bring in danormer secret service agent host of the dan bongino show. good morning to you, daniel. hope had you a great weekend. thanks for joining us. >> yeah. good to be here. ainsley: great to see you. there was a "new york times" headline. done mcgahn one of the president's attorneys, obviously, has cooperated extensively in mueller. rudy giuliani said the mueller team has leaked the mcgahn story to the "new york times." >> this is a desperate special counsel who leaked this to the "new york times" illegally it, could be mcgahn and mcgahn is not doing it he would have done it a long time ago if he was going to do it. they are down to desperation time. ainsley: the article says dan was interviewed with mueller investigators for over 30 hours over the past nine months. what do you make of this? >> this case has gone from embarrassing to really like an intergalactic disgrace at this point. when are we going to get to the collusion? guys, the entire country, the emergency brake on the entire countr

dan walker and louise minchin. here is a summary of this morning's main stories from bbc news: donald trump's former lawyer michael cohen manager paul manafort has admitted tax and bank fraud. the crimes predated manafort‘s work for donald trump, but the charges were brought by the special counsel investigating potential collusion between russia and mr trump's campaign team. pet shops in england could be banned from selling puppies and kittens under new government plans to crack down on unethical breeders. the aim is to reduce the number of animals that suffer health problems after being reared in poor conditions. under the proposals, people would have to buy their pets from a registered breeder or a rescue centre. the rspca welcomes this move to stop third—party breeders selling dogs. we believe that this has been a loophole for a number of years. the rspca has been investigating illegal trafficking of dogs, both from the continent and within the uk, and we hope that this announcement will stamp out that trade. letting agents in england actively discriminate against tenants on housing benefit, according to a new report

who he appointed, including dan coats said that putin interfered and tried to help trump get elected and trump is the only one left denying that. and that shook up mr. cohenook him up when he first approach eed me, talked about what caused him to change his mind from taking a bullet for donald trump in the statement he made to seriously worrying act his unsuitability as president after he became president. it was an evolutionary process, a painful process. when he and i talked when i decided to help him, it was after several weeks of talking about the evolution that he's gone through. >> so, joyce, hold on a second. i just want to jump on that helsinki comment. that being a turning point for michael cohen. i've always noticed that donald trump deflects sometimes with foreign policy news of his own. just to get the headlines to go in a different direction. is michael cohen at this point worried that this president will do something unbelievably idiotic to deflect from these headlines? >> are you asking me? >> yeah. >> the answer is of course. everybody in america who isn't a hard core doesn't care whether he lies, doesn't care whether he aligns with putin,

dan backer, the founding attorney of there is now says fire here, there isn't even smoke. why should congress perpetuate this witchhunt? the mueller investigation went from chasing collusion to chasing down paul manafort and michael cohen'sransgressions. however justified, i'll politically motivated, the underlying prosecutions of manafort and cohen may be, they stem from business dealings long before there was a trump campaign. underlying prosecutionsthere ise isn't even any smoke. in the face of a booming economy, the left is running out of ways to attack president trump and hoping he won't notice. randy in california, democrat. what do you think? caller: i want to thank you for being such a great host and the other employees that work for c-span because it is a great source of information. i am 60 years old and two weeks ago i had to reregister because i moved and i had to put the box for democrat because i was a proud republican when i was 18 years old when i became a republican and voted for ronald reagan twice. things have changed so much in nbc,country that i watch msnbc, cnn, fox. i get diverse news that i am acquainted to and i see a huge change happening in this country and i see that the republican leadership

dan bongino on last hour. i want you to react to him. he was basically when we went back and forth it's not taking time with michael cohen, it's not takingthe justice department who at the top of that pyramid of wants and needs have put the targeting and prosecution of trump, his family, and the campaign at the top of that pyramid. it is time to fire rosenstein. i think sessions after the mid terms it may be time to move on as well. ed: react to that ian. >> what i can tell you is the top levels of the department of justice there are trump senate confirmed appointees throughout the united states attorneys offices the majority of u.s. attorneys offices have trump appointees that are senate-confirmed. if there is a case to be made against hillary clinton, her associates or james comey, they are going to make that case. but they are not going to be swayed by political considerations. and they are not going to talk about it. they are not going to tell the press. they are not going to tell congress. they are not even going to tell the president. this is not the james comey show. ed: i mentioned manafort and michael cohen two republican member
