high-level campaign who told me that then donald trump denied having this relationship with stormy daniels way back then. according to the source familiar with these discussions, there are a lot of people in trump world who are disillusioned about all of this and puts it in the same category as monica lewinsky and bill clinton. inside the white house officials telling us they're shocked, they're surprised, and one senior white house member tried to be charitable and described giuliani's statement as sloppy. it was pretty sloppy in terms of its rollout with rudy giuliani referring to fbi agents as stormtroopers and describing donald trump's son-in-law as disclosure. >> jim acosta, at the white house as always. beyond what is apparently an abject lie told by the president and his spokesperson. laura coates, from a legal perspective, why is it important that the president reimbursed for this payment? >> because you have campaign finance laws that have two prongs. one is for transparency, that you know where the money is coming from, and also to ensure there is a threshold of a limited amount of m

you think about it, if at&t put money into the same account that cohen then paid stormy daniels from, then in a waysome of at&t's money was used to pay off stormy daniels, and i'm an at&t customer, which means i paid off stormy daniels. ( laughter ) she better not tell any of my secrets! ( laughter ) though now when i look at my at&t phone bill, i finally understand what stormy hush payment with was for. yeah, i thought it was like a hurricane thing or something! now it makes sense. makes sense. ( laughter ) ( applause ) now the big question here is why would multi-billion-dollar corporations give so much money to never call saul over here? ( laughter ) because it turns out it's because of what he promised. >> cohen approached a pharmaceutical company called novartis and landed a one-year deal with them promising them access to the white house on things related to healthcare policy. >> cohen pitched potential clients on his close association with trump, noting that he still was the president's lawyer. he showed photos of himself with trump and mentioned how frequently they spoke, even asking people

daniels this way, by calling it legal fees, by saying it was money to pay michael cohen for his legaleven though he knew he wasn't legally doing any work. is that potentially illegal for him to have paid that way? >> yes. >> how? >> it depends where the money originally came from. if you're trying to hide the source of the funds, which they sounds like they were because they are passing it through the law firm. tryi ining to disguise it as a l retainer fee then where did the funds originally come from. if they came from a legitimate source then okay. >> say they came from his personal bank account. >> then you probably don't have a separate crime. then it would still be in campaign finance land. if it came from a loan that someone doesn't disclose what the real purpose of the money was from and proceeds of a separate crime and looking at some kind of money laundering. if funds come from an illegal source like the most common example if you get money from selling drugs and then you pass it through a legitimate source to try to mike ake it look legitimate, that could be the road to mone

while there are a host of questions about this seemingly salacious story around stormy daniels, the way the question answers questions about this are instructive about the way he answers questions about other things of greater import. >> i wonder, as you listen to his speech and juxtapose with what you're hearing today, what's the narrative he's trying to push forward here? in other words, if he's trying to draw attention away from talking about stormy daniels and this payment and michael cohen and his newest lawyer rudy giuliani, what does he want to be talking about at this point? >> reporter: well, the president i think it can be said when he gives these kind of speeches, he sort of frames them in this them versus us narrative. up heard h you heard him say people who wrote up the nation's immigration laws, name lily democrats, didn't care much about the country. he was joined on stage by a candidate who is trying to unseat shared brown. the president views the control of both houses of congress as an existential threat to his presidency. that's one of the reasons why week in and week

think what they were trying to do is the two of them were trying to put it, figure out a way how to get the stormy daniels story off of tv. right? think about the way donald trump thinks. he's like get michael off my tv and get it off of tv and so they talked this out and in someways giuliani admitted this. he said we talked i was going to get this out here and giuliani said you're not in legal jeopardy. this is how i make sure. the payment did this. it wasn't campaign so he offers explanations but the problem was, giuliani didn't do any research to see how this would contradict what the president said or michael cohen said. now it is this larger question okay, you know, i've had people ask me, so what if the president did this with the porn actress. i agree, so what. except when are we supposed to believe him? now his own staff doesn't know what to believe him. >> right. >> and that's the problem now is that we already have a majority of the country that doesn't r l really believe the president but does this actually have an impact now even deeper, maybe even with people who have been supportive of him.

daniels this way, by calling it legal fees, by saying it was money to pay michael cohen for his legalew he wasn't legally doing any work for him, is that -- i get pr-wise, why they would be doing that. is that potential lly illegal? >> yes, fg]potentially. >> how? >> well, it depends on where the money originally came from. if you are trying to hide the source of the funds, sounds like they were, because they are sort of passing it through, you know, the law firm, trying to disguise it, i think, as a legal retainer,ú>áz retainer fee, the where did thevo;n#unds original come from? if they came from, you know, a legitimate source, then, okay -- >>élww say they came from mr. trump's private personal bank account? >> then you probably don't have a separate crime, it still would be in campaign finance land. but if it came -- i don't know where it came from, if it came from a loan that someone didn't disclose with the real purpose of the money, it could be proceeds of a separate crime and you're looking at money laundering, potentially. so, if funds come from an illegal source, like, the mo

you have the whole mike cohen thing which is unfolding in ways that have got to be terrifying for trump, not just on the stormy daniels front but on the russian front. so in some ways this is all he's got left, and we should just tweet it as sort of the last lying statements of someone whose legal strategy is clearly unknown. the only legal strategy we've seen so far is a bunch of lawyers quitting. and so if he thinks he can win this way, it's not just convincing mueller, it's actually convincing judges who have these cases before them, grand juries who have already determined that indictments are allowable, men who have voluntarily pled to testify against the president of the united states. they're not all going away because of tweets. >> julia, you mentioned michael cohen. the "washington post" published an extensive story about michael cohen. it includes stiff royalty penalties, that includes doctors with whom he helped establish medical clinics and lawyers with which he worked, adding that he spent much of his personal and professional life with immigrants from russia and ukraine. what does that tell you? >> it te

that's been told about the payment to stormy daniels is that this company essentially consultants was used to funnel mr. trump's money through a round about way to ms. daniels. if money is flowing into this company, that does raise the question as to whether or not the ultimate recipient of the money is not just michael cohen, it was the person who registered the company, but potentially could be the president himself? >> it raises that. but it's so dangerous to leap to those conclusions. bob mueller and his team are certainly five or ten steps ahead of everyone else on these issues. it actually worries me a little bit, my prosecutor dna doesn't like to see these details that should be held closely within an investigation, leaking out into the public. they could certainly, if the mueller investigation is still in progress on some of these fronts, particularly involving the russians, they could trigger awareness on the part of people who are under investigation. these banking details, it's very surprising to see them becoming public. these are details that prosecutors would subpoena. i have not seen this sort of information be public domain be

stormy daniels' lawyer michael avenatti responding this way. >> i don't care if you are on the left or on the far right. i don't care where you line up. you should be disgusted by what happened in connection with the lies that you have been told over the last three months about this payment. there is no way to dress it up. you can put lipstick on a pig morning, noon and night and it is still a pig. this is disgusting what we're hearing. referring all questions to outside counsel. >> joining us this morning is reporter tal kopan. lots to talk about. what do you make of the rudy giuliani interview? was this rudy giuliani who wanted to get all of the news out there as a defense attorney would get all the bad news out like this is not a big deal? >> i could not tell you, christine, what was in giuliani's head. he is a former prosecutor. he is a lawyer. you have to give him the benefit of the doubt there was some legal reasoning that went into this and certainly right now, the president is facing two kinds of issues. the potential criminal investigations and potential civil litigation. so,

with the help of google, danielle nottingham found out some ways to make it easier. >> reporter: for us passwords are a pain. >> i do not have a good password. i've had the same three passwords for like the past ten years. >> reporter: and it's a common problem. a report from splash data last year found the two most popular passwords were "password" and wt 123456." >> but you're not going to do 123456. >> no, no. that's too easy. i might do 678. >> reporter: we went to google to find out how they handle passwords. >> google has gotten some of the things that is still thought of elsewhere like forcing you to rotate your password every six months. >> reporter: he's director of product management and says you should come up with unique and complicated passwords. >> the best advice for passwords is to actually using a different one at every site. >> reporter: instead of putting capital letters at the beginning and numbers at the end, mix it up. shane brady came up with his own unique system after having his identity stolen. >> i make acronyms and numbers of hockey players. >> reporter: i

way. much more on that in a moment. >>> also this morning, the president is alleging that ms. danielsted him over what he calls a fake affair. his claims don't answer any of the questions but how she was paid off or when

your panel was entitled "beyond good and evil: new ways of thinking about henry kissinger." daniel: new analysis is being driven by new evidence. the declassification of documents, which has produced a lot of material for the last decade, has driven serious re-examination, reconsideration of kissinger's career. i think it is far more possible than it was a generation earlier to ground analysis of kissinger in hard historical evidence rather than memoir accounts, the kinds of evidentiary base that supports an earlier generation of scholarship. historians are doing innovative kinds of work, in some cases using digital humanities technologies to mine analysis from across vast reams of documentation. this is scholarship that was not possible a generation ago. we had on the panel yesterday a terrific paper by a graduate student that made splendid use of data mining in order to extrapolate new conclusions about kissinger's career. host: when you talk about henry kissinger to your students at uc berkeley, what questions come up? daniel: students are fascinated by kissinger. he is a larger

daniel: the way we think about the impact of energy on inflation, there is a six to 12 month lag.will not affected until next year at the earliest. the dynamics are interesting, because historically, the supplier responses very slow. course with shale oil, the response has become more rapid. if oil prices rise to quickly, we see the shale figures open, and the supplied much more rapid. it is interesting what a difference a week makes in terms of the sentiment in the markets. led to thisthink sudden outburst from this downtrend we have seen? most of theed on earnings season already. what has changed, do you think? daniel: the end of last year and the beginning of this year, a lot of optimism about the trump tax cuts which were delivered in january. that almost got priced in ahead of the event in the markets. of accommodation as markets adjusted. delivernies have to against those expectations. i think we have experienced a period of volatility and markets are coming through that. yvonne: the vix has gone down. daniel: it has been a remarkable period. this is more about the return to

when you look from the polk street steps, and you look all the way down the plaza, down market street, danieldesign, this was meant to be this way. it's really special. >> the city approached us off the grid to provide food and beverages at the event as kind of the core anchor to encourage people who leave a reason to stay. >> it's really vibrant. it's really great, just people walking around having a good time. >> this formula is great food, interesting music, and then, we wanted to have something a little more, so we partnered with noise pop, and they brought in some really fun games. we have skeeball, we also have roller skating lessons, and we've got a roller skating rink. >> if you're a passion jail skeeball player like me, and you're deciding whether you're just going to roll the ball up the middle or take a bank shot. >> our goal is to come out and have fun with their neighbors, but our goal is to really see in the comments that it's a place where people want to hold their own public event. >> i think this is a perfect example of all these people working together. everybody's kind of c

daniels. in these 92 pages, we have trump's financial activity last year. and while they still could have obviously tried to find a way to lie about the daniels payments, he admits in here, let me show you in a footnote, that asserts while he's not required to expose it, back in 2016, expenses were occurred by trump's attorney, moichael cohe, who was then fully reimbursed by trump in 2017 for an amount over 10 100k. the daniels payment, of course, was $130k. so what does it all mean? this is a big development. number one, trump's been lying, as i say, and very recently about this, like on air force one in april. >> did you know about the $130,000 payment to stormy daniels? >> no. >> then why -- why did michael cohen make it if there was no truth to the allegations? >> you would have to ask michael cohen. michael is my attorney and you'll have to ask michael. >> do you know where he got the money? >> no, i don't know. >> lies to the public. what else does this mean? number two, if trump and cohen lied to other entities like banks, that's potentially a separate crime. and number three tonight, if trump's earlier financi

the subsequent dollars that flowed through this subsequent company were connect today stormy daniels in any way. even beyond the perception and because of the constantly shifting stories out of trump and cohen and their associated camps, their a credibility problem and a significance dollar trail which leaves reasonable people to ask why and what for? why is the president's personal lawyer self-described and by the president taking a half million dollars from a russian oligarch, that's a question the american people have a right to know the answer to. >> jeffrey? when you follow the money that's where -- that's the question you ask. >> absolutely. we are aware of these transactions. remember, there is also involving michael cohen and essential consulting the $1.6 million payment to the woman who had the affair with the republican fund raiser. also money that -- did that go through the same bank account? it was used -- >> what if he it did? >> the question -- again, where did that money come from? where was the $1.6 million -- where it that come from. ? did it come fm this republican fund raiser

daniels? >> jaul janne says the president paid cohen over several months. the president, by the way, has repeatedly denied having affair with daniels. back to you. >> thank you. this will be topic number one tomorrow morning from the white house. now,ing we did tweet about tonight's development the moment it happened. our twitter page is a great resource for breaking news. you can follow us at nbc bay area. >> so how much is too much snfgs when it comes to sex ed for kids grade 4 through 9. it's a question that's dividing parents in fremont as that school district considers a new lesson plan. we're live in fremont where hundreds of people have passionately been weighing in for hours. at this point, do we have any form of a decision? >> we don't, jessica. but people on both sides of this issue are passionate. this meeting started at 4:30 this afternoon. public comment wrapped up at 10:30. the board is now deliberating in front of a packed room. people are still here. the school board is expected to decide tonight what grade will continue to be taught sex education and what the curric

he clearly was not prepared to go on sean hannity's show and talk about the stormy daniels case in a way that was conforming to what the trump defense team is trying to do. and so he may have created a whole bunch of problems that they're going to try to repair and we'll be hearing changes in what rudy giuliani has to say for sure tomorrow morning or through the day tomorrow. michael avenatti thank you very much for joining us with this breaking news tonight about the case. >> thank you, lawrence. >> we'll get more lawyers here, jill wine-banks, joyce vance, both msnbc contributors. eugene robinson and collin schaaf. i want to start off where we left with michael avenatti because this is a stunning development in the stormy daniels case that rudy giuliani seemed to me to be saying things that he has learned in his proximity to the president and the president's lawyers, but he has not masterred what the public side of their case is versus the private side. and you really had the feeling that rudy giuliani did not know that he was revealing for the first time, in complete contradiction to

the way that he has handled the st stormy daniels' payment is speaking to the way that he is used to operating as a private citizen and presumably with the nondisclosure agreements like stormy daniels on the sign, and if he is publicly challenged or something, he would deny it, but now that he is president, and when he was a candidate of the president, it opened him up to a whole host of legal questions and pitfalls that previously were not an issue for him, and so that is also part of the reason why we have seen the president almost tying himself into knots telling one story one day and the next ta day so much confusion, but not providing the clarity and the reports nout "the new york times" saying that he has known about the payment for months. so nobody was ever look agent his business dealings or his personal dealings with any type of major scrutiny, and he is used to going back to the same old playbook which is to publicly deny and throw up the smoke screen and bring a bulldog lawyer and now in this case, rudy giuliani out to defend him. but the u.s. attorney's office is going to
