david k.: in europe, i think a lot of this has to do with winter weather.o me, the most important indicator is the unemployment rate. it's going to either go in one direction or the other. in europe labor markets tightening. europe will get its groove back. in the united states, i see plenty of demand and the economy. there is a problem in terms of supply. businesses have not figured out yet what to do with all that money. more talk ofng capital spending. i think the us will be able to sustain 3% growth year over year into the second quarter of next year. i do not see a near-term softening in the united states or europe. alix: let's go to europe here this is a chart that puzzles me. the spread is at 130 basis points. what is the trade on italy as we head into it populist government and the markets seem passive about it? david k.: that has been the case ever since the ecb a few years ago decided they were going to help a individual companies in terms of overall bond purchases. that come people about the ecb letting in a company go to the wall. it. worried ab

joining us now david k. johnston journalist, the author of "it's even worse than you think" and also with us jill wine-banks former watergate special prosecutor. and david k you remember when there was no office of pooler enterprises -- office of ethics. before we get to the stormy daniels revelation in the financial disclosure form, i want to pick up on what we were reporting on with ronan farrow's reporting tonight, that it is a current government official who has decided to leak, illegally, this suspicious activity report on michael cohen. the government official knows that it's a crime. knows what the government official is risking in this and the government official says that he or she is terrified by what he or she has done but believes that it's important. we have so much information that we are learning in these reports, including tax implications, which we didn't get to in the previous segment and rachel wasn't able to get to tonight. i'm reading in there that michael cohen is using the essential co

. >> david k. johnson, founder of d.c.report.org and justice reporter julia an israeli.come to you all. very much appreciate you. i'm going to start with you on this one. you've been reporting on the white house response to sadler's joke. is there any indication, jordan, that we're going to get sadler or the white house to issue an apology here? >> no. there's no indication that they are going to offer a public apology, and frankly it's shocking because it seems like that is what would put this all to rest would be somebody high up in the white house coming forward or kelly sadler, the aide who made this comment coming forward herself to make this apology but none seems forthcoming, and it seems to me that the thinking is that the president, you know, has said some pretty nasty things about john mccain in the past and apologizing for this remark might open the door to other people calling on the president to give an apology for his past remarks, so they are bunkering down, but what it's done is make this controversy that we were first reporting on by the hill by the way

let's talk about this now with cnn contributor walter schwab, and david k.d author of "the making of donald trump." this report raises a lot of questions about why the president didn't disclose this earlier. but does this filing suggest president trump broke the law? >> it suggests it's a definite possibility because the office of government ethics has said what i've been saying all along, which is that the president's debt to michael cohen for the stormy daniels payment was reportable and needed to be reported on the form. this year when trump disclosed it they put a weasely statement, and by they i mean the trump team at the bottom of his form saying here's what we don't think is reportable. and because that information was in there the office of government of ethics went ahead and certified the report, meaning approved it but added a note at the bottom saying the president and his team are wrong and this information needs to be reported. which means it needed to be reported last year. and the only question we don't know the answer to for sure is whether t

i'm joined by norm isan, a former white house ethics czar and david k.hnson, investigative reporter and author of the making of donald trump. good evening, gentlemen. good to have you on. just before i get more specific, as an ethics czar, right, what do you see here? >> well, don, thank you for having me back. you know, it is a plague on american policy making that corporations, the super rich have the money to spend and the -- at a minimum, if we take this at face value, the ability to gather insight intelligence and the questions being raised about access and influence. you know, it's a plague in our system. there is too much money in the system and too much secrecy. >> let me ask you then. nothing we see is illegal. do you see anything illegal? it may be impossible suspect. but nothing is illegal. michael says he believes he's paying for access to the president. what do you say to that? >> we don't know yet don. i think it's very important when we get potentially sensational news and this is sensational allegations to take a breath. the country is in

david: in k's they were running out of things to talk about in beijing, they have more to talk about.meeting today in beijing. is there,e premier and they have six people from the united states. here are the pictures with thes, led by steve mnuchin, treasury and wilbur ross, secretary of commerce. chadha andd by binky maggie gage. looks like the six individuals will be negotiating with one another because we know they have different views on trade. >> very true and a great point to raise. our in-house view is one of the key hurdles here to dictate success versus non-success with negotiations in china is whether the u.s. team can all still message together. when you have a group that is pretty equally divided, that is no easy task. that is something we are watching closely. what: does mr. liu he know we want? >> i think our president and this team have been pretty clear infar, at least in outlining principle what we want. but the devil is always in the details. i think they are in trouble coal truck negotiate's and style -- negotiation style, so i think there is room for negotiation. i

k. david: talk to us about oil. where have the levels gone? we were talking about the 10 year, a few weeks ago closer to 3%. westech -- west texas intermediate, the lowest close in three months. take a look at the chart -- or at least the selloff -- you can see we have been running toward $72 a barrel. big drop in the past week. just close in on the one-week chart, you can really see the decline. mrs. is the fifth straight decline for texas intermediate. it had a loto do wh russia and saudi arabia talking about boostingcaps. let's go to the one-week chart if we have it for oil. that has brought oil chances down, more than a 3% drop in the latest trading session, which is the biggest one-day drop we have seen in a while. back to you. david: su, thank you so much. busy monday morning across the region. one last look at italy. yesterday there was a bond auction, ahead of a fairly bigger one today. look at how it is collapsing. there is your bid to cover, 1.9%. it takes you all the way back to 2010. it is one to watch on your gtv. yvonne: we talke

david, hello. caller: my question is also about the nuclear deal. idea,k deal is a bad but don't we have some responsibility to have continuity between administrations? my concern is that other regimes like north korea would look at going back on the deal and say we might have a good agreement with this administration but then the next administration changes everything. i am worried it might hurt our ability to negotiate in the future. guest: i would prefer continuity as well. the administration, when they , theed this deal constitution provides a mechanism for entering into treaties. what that requires is two thirds approval of the senate. the administration being so anxious at the time for a foreign policy when was -- for a foreign policy win was willing to enter into this agreement as an executive action without doing it as a treaty because they knew they cannot get support for it. there was not enough common ground. at the time it was done, leaders in congress said if you cannot , they said ifaty you do not do this as a treaty, than the next administra

>> what david a said is right if you're an american company you are trying to get access to donald trump when he came into office a lot of people panicked because you couldn't go to the regular kt lobbyist and have access. he didn't have a lot of people and michael cohen would have been one of them this is unfortunately how washington works. i'm not endorsing this. but he would need to register as a lobbyist. if he is just giving advice and not arranging meetings. >> he doesn't need to register. >> if for the money that suggests they want more than just what is donald trump like and probably wanted some access to the white house. if he arrange meetings he needs to be registered. so i think that -- yeah it's very suspicious, have swampy. that's the biggest take away i have which is donald trump said he was going to come and clean up the swamp. and this is just the swampiest behavior of all. >> i agree it's incredibly swampy. guess what they got no where waist their money. the russian wasted rubble rubles on this speaking to thele vadty of the souf revolution, meaning that how do i know because the russians what did he they get in exchange, got sanctions war in syria. >> no inve
