daniel pletges, cornell belcher, and anne gearan, white house correspondent at "the washington post." by the way, a new cooperatorone of the probes, i won't say the mueller probe, because we don't quite know what the michael cohen aspect, how much of it is mueller and how much of it is the southern district of new york, but a significant business partner, according to the "new york times" of michael cohen, has quietly agreed to cooperate with the government as a potential witness. it is one of cohen's business partner in the taxi business. he will avoid jail time. anne gearan, i'll start with you. what did we learn today from what the president is doing and what did you make of the president's non-answer on rod rosenstein? zp >> i thought it was, you know, theatrical on his part, but it was very telling. that's a question he doesn't want to answer. and by not answering whether he has confidence in rod rosenstein, you have all the information you need, which is, you know, clearly, he is under the president is considering whether or not rod rosenstein is done and if he fires him, there are multiple implications for

daniels. let's brief you on some of the other stories making the news: european union leaders have agreed to try to keep the iran nuclear deal alive and maintain their economic cooperationbulgaria, the 28 also agreed a plan for dealing with trade tariffs that president trump is imposing on steel and aluminium, saying that the eu will not negotiate with a gun at its head. more than 300 women who were sexually abused by larry nassar are to share $500 million in compensation. many of the women gave testimony against the former us gymnastics doctor, which resulted in him being jailed for life. police in malaysia have searched a number of properties linked to the country's former prime minister najib razak. mr najib‘s lawyer said a few personal items had been seized in connection with an investigation into money—laundering. mr najib denies any wrongdoing. let's turn to our top business story: driverless ca rs are on their way, whether we like it or not, and today the eu will unveil its plans to catch up with the us and china in this fast—developing technology. it will include investments in infrastructure as well as co—operation between member states on rules and ethics. rol

cooperated with mueller's investigators about their business dealings with cohen. in a court filing, cohen's lawyers confirming the payments. accusing stormy daniels's lawyer michael avenatti who initially published the details of the transaction about publishing other information about the wrong michael cohen. cohen's lawyers also accusing michael avenatti of illegally obtaining cohen's bank records. michael avenatti firing back on twitter calling the court filing, quote, baseless, improper and sanctionable. the treasury department's inspector general announcing wednesday that they've opened a review into whether cohen's bank records were improperly disseminated. now the type of consult being work that cohen engaged in is not uncommon here in washington and while it raises ethical questions, it's not necessarily illegal. cohen was not a registered lobbyist when he was doing all this work and these details are a reminder that there's no evidence of collusion, mueller's team clearly is still pursuing angles that the public knows so very little about. >> nothing about. thanks so much for being with us. >>> joining us now laura coates. laura you heard

congress, needs to start cooperating, and the president won't testify unless these questions are fair, et cetera. all of that. instead, what he did was he started talking about stormy daniels. he raises an issue nobody wanted to talk about. and oh, by the way, in doing that, he contradicted what the president himself has said. so he created more headaches for this new legal team, not less. >> and harry, you're a lawyer, let's talk about this. you've got these legal advisers in there, blind-sided, angry. gloria said grenade a word one of them used. emmett flood, powerhouse attorney who represented clinton on impeachment joined this team yesterday. everybody said this is a game changer, you've got this guy on here. are people like that going to want to stay on this team? how damaging is this for this new team? >> i think it's damaging, i think it's something that has to be worked out quickly. the lawyers have to get into a room together, they have to make clear that no one's going to throw any grenades until there's a decision that a grenade needs to be thrown. the president's lawyer, giuliani, introduced all sorts of doubt about what happened with cohen, about what the real

whether daniels' attorney michael avenatti can join the proceedings has been pushed back to next week. >> seems like michael cohen has a big decision to make. what are the chances he won't cooperate charged at the federal or state level he has to make a decision as to whether he wants to go forward with a trial and gamble on a potential presidential pardon for not sharing sensitive information about his inner circle and his family but a presidential pardon only protects you from federal charges, not any charges that he could face at the state level. a difficult decision for anyone. >> are you hearing anything about how he's feeling? i saw an interview that said the main thing on his mind for michael cohen in his family. >> i have spoken to sources and they say he's having a tough time. anyone in this situation would be under enormous pressure, enormous stress and it's not just stress on you. it's stress on your entire family. we have seen some people because of that stress and the financial pressures, decide to cooperate. specifically richard gates. >> all right. paula, really good to have you at the table in person. thanks a lot. >>> leslie stahl says president trump told her he

cooperation from our south korean allies on this issue and many others. host: brunswick, georgia, susan. caller: i wanted to get a message to america. forget about stormy danielsat i think people should know is the republicans are planning to change drastic cuts to your social security, whether you are already on it or are going to be on it. they plan to raise it to 70 25% ofld and take out what you should be getting, even if you are already on it. they are going to make drastic changes to medicare as well, where you are going to be more dependent on private insurance. they are also making changes to medicaid. in louisiana, they have already cut medicaid from their program. they sent letters to people who are in hospitals that they will have to leave soon.the other thing that is important , our country is being polluted with what the epa cuts are doing. they are making us all unhealthy. instead, they have us fighting against each other so the republicans can pull strings on us and put these laws that are not making america safe. and the rich top percent corporations don't pay any income tax, that means the way the states get their money is they are going to ha
