stick i think it is comical lanny davis is michael cohen's lawyer. lanny davis was as entrenched in the 90s with the clintons as episodes of friends on blockbuster video. he is one of their best friends. that's the attorney for michael cohen. the fact that he said what he said, which i don't believe is a crime. captain obvious, something about president trump karen that's all the evidence we've seen today about anything that has to do with president trump in this investigation, i think it raises a lot of questions. to folks in america wondering what is all the billable hours in the mueller investigation? it is on the taxpayers' dime and i think they're probably pretty sick of it. >> jason: i would love to find out who is funding lanny davis and his political motivations. gentlemen, thank you. you wouldn't know it by watching msnbc but there were new develop it's in the mollie tibbetts case today. ed henry will be here next with the report. bass pro shops and cabela's bring you the fall hunting classic with huge savings. like this cuddeback black flas

so why trust lanny davis?lanny davis is someone who has been along to washington for some time, he's a lawyer and he was a lawyer for michael cohen. so when we at "the washington post" and other news organizations were trying to confirm the broadcast report that michael: had advance knowledge about -- the president had advance knowledge of this meeting in trump tower. we went to michael cohen's lawyer and said to come is this true, can you confirm this? he offered us that confirmation telling us, that the president had some advanced knowledge that someone, some people had dirt, as he put it, on hillary clinton and was prepared to offer it. he subsequently tells us that he regrets that he didn't tell us -- he did not have full confidence that that nation was true and we publish that as a separate news story. >> he was asked by cnn during an interview with anderson cooper whether there was evidence that trump knew about the meeting before it happened. he said it, no there's not. it seems like a more declarative

davis and her son downstairs. experts say special counsel mueller is likely much more interested in davis' working relationship with roger stone, specifically her role, if any, during the 2016 campaign. kristin davis says she did not work with roger stone in the run-up to the presidential election. and during an interview with our fox affiliate wnyw davis says during her questioning by the special counsel team she felt bull idea. watch. >> we were saying how intimidating it must have been. was it? >> completely. i mean, you are sitting in a room. there is no defense attorney which is how the grand jury goes with a prosecutor who clearly has a rapport with these jurors and answering leading questions. it was. >> that concerned you? bothered you a little. >> it bothered me. i left there feeling very sick to my stomach. >> roger stone has commented saying kristin davis has, quote, no knowledge of russian collusion, wikileaks collaboration or any other illegal activity on my part. and we should note that kristin davis

claimed that davis refused to comment so how does that work unless c.n.n. lied about davis refusing to comment but what does have to see how this develops and keep an eye out. for. the unlikely and really haven't of the source to back up the reports. russia gate is the coin of the realm here if you have a story no matter how false you're out with it before anybody pays any attention to the sourcing but c.n.n. they have not even retracted the story even though. sister or brother outlets and cable channels have their right in doing so if they care about the truth i mean there's a slight possibility that c.n.n. had a different story but you have let me davis you have michael cohen so you know no no we we didn't we have no information we have new information that president true of knew about this trump tower meeting we don't have that so unless it's very unlikely unless there's some other source that c.n.n. had they are being what's the word unprofessional being unconscionable healing to this ally i don't think they have another source i would suggest that if t

cnn says lanny davis refused to comment so either cnn lied to its audience about davis or davis is lyingow. >> dana: over there -- they were trying to protect him at the time. that's five people disagree with using background sources. in a situation like this, you are dealing with people's lives. future judicial, legal problems. people leak in the speak back o. you have both camps trying to advance her stories with the media background try to be cute and then they go on the record and get a little bit crossed. cnn says they are sticking with the story. maybe they have another source told them the story is true. >> greg: who could that source be? is there another lawyer we are missing out on? some other guy. tammy, if this will be on the other side, it would be yet another smoking gun. the media doesn't see this as anything special. >> tammy: this is why when the president says fake news, everybody goes nuts. this is exactly what he's talking about. the use of an individual. this is almost too good to check, they get with a new from their source to move several days with a huge story at t

lanny davis's presence is a huge question mark.close proximity with hillary clinton and the democratic machine. it really makes you wonder why is lanny davis sitting in the middle of this? i think it's a huge stretch and leap for him to suggest -- >> sandra: i went on to ask him what changed considering his client once said he would take a bullet for president trump for donald trump, why all of a sudden are we seeing the change? his response was well, that's a good question and he referred back to helsinki and that he had a change of heart. it was out of patriotism that he came -- >> i think it had to do more with his personal finances and the trouble he was running into. why is lanny davis -- all the attorneys in the world, right? no shortage of attorneys. you pick hillary clinton's attorney? i think it's highly suspicious. let's pretend for a moment that those payments were real. there are lots of reasons that you can do that. to say and suggest it would sway the election, it wasn't going to sway the election. >> sandra: more fro

lanny davis was actually the major source for the entire story. he was also the anonymous source that confirmed its other outlets. now this week he came clean telling "the washington post" that he is not certain the claim is accurate and that he could not independently verify it. and yesterday, he tells buzzfeed news that he regrets his whole role as an independent source in a subsequent denial of his involvement in the story. if you can follow that. davis merely saying he "made a mistake." but he actually didn't. lanny davis is an old clinton fixer who has been spinning information and using the press to do his bidding for decades. this was deliberate. and the folks at cnn were only too happy to join him in this misinformation charade. why?. because they have a common enemy: donald j. trump. so davis floats a malicious and salacious story to target a political adversary and the media gleefully disseminated. now cnn's bernstein delighted in this tale of trump's misdeeds because it fits the pathetic russian narrative that they havt been trying to s

davis lawyer declined to comment. in a a statement, stone tells cnn kristen davis is a long time friend and associate of mine. i am a god father to her 2-year-old son. she knows nothing about russian collusion, wikileaks collaboration or any other impropriety relateded to the 2016 election which i thought was the subject of this probe. i understand she appeared voluntarily. i am highly confident she will testify truthfully if called upon to do so. davis once ran a high-end prostitution ring and went to jail as part of the scandal surrounding that democratic new york governor, el wot yot spitzer. >> the remorse i feel will always be with me. >> in late 2016, she joined his payroll to help him with clerical tasks. mueller's team has been looking into possible contact between stone and julian assange during the 2016 campaign. >> yeah, i followed assange's twitter feed. i read every interview he gave. you could forshadow what he's doing. i'm not involved in in collusion or conspiracy with the russians or anyone else. >> v

in the code that is lanny davis. talk about the significance of what he is saying and what kind of information he is offering to robert mueller. >> it is not quite clear. mueller did not take him up on that, at least as far as has been made public. clearly, cohen implicated trump in the hush payments, but he is not, as part of yesterday's plea agreements, he has not publicly implicated trump in any of the russia-related crimes. so i'm not convinced this guilty plea is more important thann manafort's guilty verdict yesterday, because trump a long time ago said, "i think i'm ok as long as the manafort does that flip on me. paul manafort is really the old one that can bring me down." cohen claims he has information about when trump knew certain things about the hack and leak. but even omarosa says she already talked to mueller's people about that, so it is possible -- several things are possible. one is that cohen is right and he will go talk to mueller and he will get some lesser sentence because he does it. it is poss

michael cohen 'lawyer lanny davis now claims that he fed the story to cnn.. >> chris, tonight, sources with knowledge tell myself that michael cohen claims that then candidate donald trump knew in advance about the june 2016t meeting at trump tower in which russians were expected to offerh his campaign dirt on hillary clinton. crucially, these sources tell us that cohen is willing to make that assertion to robert mueller. irt should say one of his attorneys, lanny davis, declined to comment and i know chris, you are speaking to rudy giuliani, the president's attorney. i believe his response to you. >> tucker: and so on 26, cnn said with a straight face that f lanny davis did not comment on the story, that was a lie.ie not only did he comment, he was a main source and he admits that now. he also says he can't actually corroborate most of the story. >> you said that michael cohen wasn't present with the meeting with don jr. and the trump tower meeting. that's an incredibly important issue. he also said michael: testify truthfully to the senate committeete and

well now i just spoke to lanny davis, he was on tv, lanny davis is saying that's not the case, cohen doesn't have information exactly the that president trump knew beforehand and richard burr of the intelligence community yesterday and mark warner came out and said they reached out the cohen to reach out. >> i don't know what mr. cohen actually knows and what is in his head but i believe what repowe know that he wanted to tell the prosecutors that he knew that trump had advanced knowledge of that meeting. but in terms of what the facts are as opposed to what his representatives and people purporting to be speaking before and about him with knowledge of what he supposedly knew and was. >>> -- "shopping around," that's as far as the story went. but in terms of what the actual facts are, that's exactly why he needs to be thoroughly interrogated by the prosecutors and by the congress as well. >> carl, we have already heard some republicans begin what i believe will be the talking point today which is you can't trust michael cohen. he's had different stories, he's a known liar, look, he's

stone put davis on his own payroll. she helped him with clerical work, setting up media interviews and there's another twist. stone is the godfather of davis's son but two witnesses have been asked whether he's actually the father which appears to have annoyed stone. in a new statement, stone said kristin davis is a long time friend and associate of mine, i am the godfather two her two-year-old son, she knows nothing about russian collusion, wikileaks collaboration or any other impropriety related to the 2016 election which i thought was the subject of this probe. i understand she appeared voluntarily. i am highly confident she will testify truthfully if called upon to do so. we reached out to david's lawyer and the special counsel's office. they have not responded. >> thank you very much, alex. so frank and laura, let me start with you both. the walls closing in on some very close people to the president. grim news for manafort. the most damming day of testimony so far for him. roger stone, you have this woman testifyi

you have heard lanny davis.davis said he believes that michael cohen has information that the special council would be interested in. michael avant atty believes that lani dave dropped a bombshell when he talked about the possibility of a record of a wire transfer from the trump organization. what do you make of this? >> there's a popular saying, that justice rides a slow horse, she eventually gets there. i would say today she got there. you know, just overwhelming news on the legal front for the trump team. what happened with paul manafort in terms of eight counts where he's found guilty of bank fraud and tax evasion. and now, you know, michael cohen, the long time fixer and personal lawyer for the president pleading guilty to eight counts, two of which directly involve the president of the united states. clearly an unpress dented day for the government, for the president. shocking revelation by lanny davis that this isn't over, when i looked at that interview, what it said to me is, we have a long way to go, a

davis is a friend to roger stone and one of his employees as well. she told nbc news she began working for stone in 2010. in august 2017 she took over as stone's scheduler, but she says she did not work for him during the 2016 presidential election. >> kristin davis is a good friend of mine. she is a brilliant woman who has paid her debt to set. she was not working for me during 2015. she worked for me during a portion of 2016. she went back to school to learn i.t. skills. she has helped me build some websites. she has no knowledge whatsoever of any russian collusion, collaboration with wikileaks, or anything else having to do with the 2016 election. >> stone is not only under suspicion, but might be a target of the special counsel's investigation. already mueller's team has interviewed two people close to trump's long-time confidant. a third was held in contempt for refusing to comply with a subpoena. ari melber broke the news last night a fourth stone associate who acted as an intermediary between stone and wikileaks will be subpoenaed by robert mu

lanny davis admitted he made a mistake.s said his client would tell mueller essential to the theme of collusion which the president says is phoney. it's central to the claim, that without that, all of the bombshell report is just a bomb. this goes to the problem we have, which is tweet and verify never. as long as it's negative, negative, negative. why won't cnn say it was based on false reporting and we apologize? they fired 3 reporters at cnn because they lied about anthony scaramucci. why are they only giving the interview to the mother ship fox news, and senator cruz just gave a cnn reporter a 15-minute on camera intruchlt people make mistakes. those who are assailing everybody are loathe to admit it. i appreciate you running the president's tweets. when the president talks about fake news, he is talking about two big things. inaccurate and unfair reporting and since of omission. not just comission. why are you excluding the information from america? why aren't you telling them about the economy and the drug-free commun

>> viewer warning, ignore lanny davis. gregg: i've yet to see truth come out of his mind. >> you back up 20 years ago, he was lying and spinning about his former employer the clintons and frankly if you applied the lanny davis formula to the clintons, they would be serving out their life sentences together in prison right now. so, lanny davis is to be ignored and look, the rest of the hysteria has been calling for impeachment since election night. there is no -- nothing new here. what is more interesting with respect to the difference between the legal standard and the political standard is that impeachment is a political process, not a legal process. and so, should the leadership change hands in the house come november, you will see 24/7, 365 and featuring hysteria and nothing but that. >> if you look at article to come a section for the constitution, it's fairly broad. gives you about a latitude and discretion. high crimes and misdemeanors. i'm not even seeing a little piddly misdemeanor that would be the equivalent of a

michael cohen's lawyer lanny davis claims that he fed this story to cnn. >> tonight, sources to tellthat michael cohen claims that donald trump knew in advance about the meeting in trump tower were which they were expected to offer campaign dirt on hillary clinton. crucially he is willing to make that assertion to the special counsel robert mueller. i should lanny davis declined to comment and chris, i know you are speaking to rudy giuliani, the president's attorney. >> tucker: and so on july 26th, cnn said with a straight face that lanny davis did not comment on the story. that was a lie. not only did he comment but that was a main source. he also says that he cannot actually cooperate most of the story. >> he said that michael cohen was meeting about the the trump tower meeting. he also said that michael: testify truthfully to the senate intelligence committee and according to the chair and vice chair of the committee, he told them he had no knowledge of the meeting. he either knew about them anymore he didn't know about the meeting. >> while i think, the reporting of the story got

as of last night, they ignored the lanny davis reversal on air.hile fake news cnn and others almost exclusively push aggressive anti-trump coverage, we'll show you the full picture, which includes an economy that is literally breaking records. remember, there was a clinton news network. they loved obama, they hated l bush, now they really hate trump. today we learned that the second quarter gdp growth, which we are really happy about, it actually was revised upwards to 4.2%. we can report that american job satisfaction is now ranking the highest it has been since 2005. add to that yesterdays consumeru confidence number, currently at an 18 year high. plus more jobs than people that are on unemployment, a record-setting stockmarket, historical levels of unemployment, african-americans, hispanic americans, asian-americans, women in the workplace, youth unemployment, 51 yearsrs old, and so much mor. thankfully, because the forgotten men and women in this country, they deserve it. the american economy is booming. that is what our upcomingin election in

how this relates back to davis is that davis was on roger stone's payroll in late 2016 when these contacts would have happened with the person with contacts to the senior trump officials. so if that is roger stone and she was on the payroll doing clerical work, which is apparently what she was doing, she may have seen e-mail traffic or other communications either between stone and wikileaks or other entities. so if she is the person referred to in the indictment, that could be the nexus that they are trying to look into further. >> morgan, you've obviously spent a lot of time with roger stone making the documentary. is he fazed by this kind of stuff? i mean does this freak him out? you know, i've interviewed him a couple times and he seems -- clearly he has history. he's no stranger to kind of the rough and tumble of politics. >> i haven't seen him be too concerned about the russia investigation or the wikileaks probe. i do think that he may be concerned and he has noted that if i am indicted, it's going to be for something unrelated to all this. i think that kristin davis has probably see

the president wasn't letting lanny davis walk back without notice.g, "the answer that i did not know about the meeting, just another phony story by the fake news media." lanny davis also indicated that michael cohen had information that donald trump also knew about russia attacking democratic emails. now davis is into so sure about that one either. >> shannon: i think his quote is "i'm not sure. trace gallagher, thank you very much. for marnell, fox news contributor jessica tarlov and charlie hurt are here to weigh in. jessica, i'll start with you. these are not minor points to stumble over. >> no, they definitely aren't, specially judging by how excited everyone on my side of the aisle god when we heard that michael cohen had knowledge that president trump knew about the trump tower meeting and had given the sign off. i think it will become increasingly difficult for cnn to dig in their heels on most men, especially with the retraction of "the washington post" and "the new york post" as well. we'll see what goes on. president trump will call the fak

he said kristin davis is a long-time friend, an associating of mine. i am the godfather to her 2-year-old son. she knows nothing about alleged russian collusion, wikileaks collaboration or any other impropriety related to the 2016 election, which i thought was the subject of this probe. i understand she appeared voluntarily. i am highly confident, roger stone writes me, she will testify truthfully if called upon to do so. so the bottom line here, anna, this is significant because it just shows some of the additional tentacles that still exist here in this investigation, even as the investigation has already caught up several of the president's top advisers. michael flynn already pleading guilty. paul manafort, who's in a courtroom even as we speak right now. this thing isn't done yet and it continues. >> it's definitely not done and shows the broad scope that robert mueller has. he can pursue charges on any number of issues. and so for roger stone, he might be in real hot water pertaining to the russia probe but also on unrelated charges. we really don

>> i take lanny davis at his word on that. i don't think there's any chance michael cohen receives a pardon, even if he did, it wouldn't necessarily shut him up. manafort, we need to watch carefully, 69-year-old man, time in prison that could be all or much of the rest of his natural life. he doesn't have too many outs left anymore. one of them is cooperating, but that's a big river to cross, and the other one is a pardon. i think what the president may be doing, as maya pointed out, is setting the stage for a pardon. because if the president pardoned manafort, i think we would all see what's going on, he wants to keep him quiet, keep him from cooperating and take away that other option. but by saying, oh, he's been so unfairly prosecuted, it enables the president to say, no, this is what pardons are for. i believe it's an unjust prosecution, maybe you disagree with me, but i'm the president, and i can do that if i want. >> we'll see what happens after the trial in d.c. >>> before i go, in the spring, you said the democrats ha
