now during the twenty sixteen election campaign e-mails from the democratic national committee revealed that the democratic national committee was working with the hillary clinton campaign for the purpose of trying to undermine bernie sanders and secure the nomination for hillary clinton and that caused a huge amount of outrage many people many young people who would work for bernie sanders campaign many rank and file democrats became very angry about these results there was quite quite a bit of controversy when these e-mails were revealed but ultimately hillary clinton did receive the nomination and despite many of his supporters saying that they would not vote for hillary clinton bernie sanders himself actually did endorser this is bernie sanders ultimately endorsing hillary clinton after the twenty sixteen campaign hillary clinton will make an outstanding president and i am proud to stand with her tonight. now as folks are well aware donald trump ultimately won the two thousand and sixteen election and became the u.s. president and sense then among democrats many of the ideas put for

the chair of the democratic national committee said: i spoke with governor northam this morning. past actions are antithetical to everything the democratic party stands for. it is clear that ralph northam has their trust in his ability to govern. northam is launching an investigation into the yearbook picture to determine who the two men wearing those costumes are and to prove that he is not one of those men. and he's asking the voters in virginia to give him time to do that, and he is standing by his decision not to step down. jon? jon: garrett tenney live in richmond, thanks, garrett. >>> so claims of racism rock another political career, but we've been here before. jackie heinrich has a look back at political scandals centered on charges of racism. >> reporter: well, jon, this scandal in virginia comes on the heels of yet another black face incident that cost the florida secretary of state his job. just last week mike ertel had a photo that came out, he'd been in his position for just under a month. governor desantis said i don't want to get mired into side controversies. i fel

heated exchanges as cohen laid out testimonies including a bombshell on the 2016 hacked democratic national committee emails. mr. cohen: a lot of people asked me about whether trump about the release of the hacked documents, democratic national committee email ahead of time. the answer is yes. emily: plenty to discuss. i want to get to new york where our bloomberg executive editor who covers financial investigations is standing by. let's start with that first of one. all, the revelation trump knew about this email hack. >> that is right. according to cohen, roger stone called the office and trump's assistant put them on the speakerphone. roger stone said he had talked to julian assange and this dump was coming. i will have to note julian assange has said he never talked to roger stone. once again, we are caught in a bit of what could be the truth here. it is often the truth is that there is a go-between. whether someone else who represents a shaanxi -- assange, or weatherstone was telling the truth. roger stone is operating under a gag order by a judge right now. we're not hearing from him this after

russian context because prosecutors allege we received all the hacked e-mails from the democratic national committee for example from russian hackers wiki leaks denies that of course so the doctor was always said he had no prior knowledge of those wiki leaks e-mails or they were going to be published michael cohen says he witnessed a phone call between trump and roger stone. saying that stone had just spoken to julian assange to wiki leaks and that that document dump was imminent we should add that julian assange has always denied any conversation with roger stone and in fact as a way said look you could look at the public record we had already announced publicly that we were about to release those e-mails so there was no need for a conversation but the point there is though donald trump has always denied any for knowledge and so that might be relevant to the special counsel investigation then my. suspects to donald trump was told by his son and his older son about the trump tower a meeting that's often talked about in relation to the special counsel investigation that is donald trump jr and several

the democratic congressional campaign committee and the republican national committee came close in the but the nrcc balk at the idea they or their candidates could highlight or reference press reports based on materials that had been hacked. it would be simply impossible not to already acknowledge information already in the public domain. that was part of the justification for people using the information that was stolen from people like you, was this is now news. it's now fodder. we're allowed to use it. what do you make of the fact that that is the nrcc's argument for why they should not pledge to avoid using the same kind of material again? >> i mean, the reality is that what republicans did in 2016 and were willing to do in 2018 was to use the, you know, basically winnings or spoilage of a -- of a foreign adversary. and, you know, i'm not surprised that donald trump will not make a commitment to do this, to not use this information in the future because i think in part he was, you know, his election was deeply helped by this before. you know, he's an unpopular president. he might h

violence in america that's a national emergency why don't you declare that emergency mr president i wish you would but a democratic president can do that democratic committee president can declare emergencies as well and. now donald trump is invoking the national emergency act of one thousand nine hundred seventy six which is a law that has been frequently used by many different presidents to declare a national emergency is around many different issues for example bill clinton declared six national emergencies george w. bush declared ten and barack obama declared eleven most of the time these national emergencies were declared in order to impose sanctions on a country and at this point there are thirty national emergencies that are still in effect and there have been a total of fifty that have been declared since one nine hundred seventy six when this long. it was created now donald trump said in his remarks that he fully expects this to be challenged in court he expects this to be appealed all the way up to the u.s. supreme court however he says that he feels it is absolutely necessary to do in order to deal with the problem of violence and criminal activ

and the other conspiracy relates to the break-ins to the democratic national committee to steal e-mailsd documents and to stage and release those during the course of the campaign to help trump get elected. so, if you look at it from that standpoint, this meeting at the cigar bar is super important because, one, you've got manafort providing kilimnik, the russian intelligence operative, with very special polling information. it's not just 10% for clinton and 20% for trump. this is really granular information that goes to very specific geographic areas. so if you want to micro target, this is the kind of information these russian operatives needed. with respect to the whole business at the break-in at the democratic national committee, they were talking about this so-called ukrainian peace plan, which is a euphemism for dropping the sanctions on russia. >> right. >> which is what the russians wanted out of this deal. >> there are a lot of euphemisms out of this deal. >> this is the quid pro quo for using the e-mails and documents to assist the trump campaign in getting elected. we knew a

of people have asked whether trump knew about the release of the hacked documents the democratic national committee e-mail ahead of time. the answer is yes. mr. trump put mr. stone on the speaker on mr. stone told mr. trump he had just gotten off t phone with julian assange and he told mr. stone within a couple of days, there would be a massive dump of e-mails that would damage hillary clinton's campaign. mr. trump responded by stating to the effect, wouldn't that be great. >> now januaryf this year, 2019,im "the new york" asked mr. trump if he evepoke to roger stone about these e-mails. he answered, quote, no, i didn't. i never did. wa that statement true. >> no. >> it is not accurate. >> that is just the tip of the iceberg. more on his testimony, we'll go to washington. m goodning. in vietnam, the president cohen's reacted to testimony. >> he did. i want to tell you about mr. cohen providing what he called evidence in the involvement in schemush money giving investigators a check he was given to reimburse him for that payment to the porn star stormy daniels. the presidentays he did not direct abo

significant events in the last presidential campaign was the dump of e—mails stolen from the democratic national committeedumped by wikileaks. mr cohen, during your opening statement, which was at the height of the election, you testified you actually meeting with donald trump injuly 2016 actually meeting with donald trump in july 2016 when rogerstone happened to call. and tell mr trump you had just spoken to julian assange. is that correct? yes. you said that mr assange told mr trump about an upcoming "massive dump of e—mails that would damage hillary clinton's campaign. " i e—mails that would damage hillary clinton's campaign." i want to ask you about rogerstone's phone call to the president. first of all, was it oi'i the president. first of all, was it on speaker phone? yes, mr trump has a black speakerphone sitting on his desk. he uses it quite often because of the number of phone calls he gets. now, january of this year 2019, the new york times asked president trump if he ever spoke to rogerstone about these stolen e—mails. and president trump answered, "no, ididn't, i never did". was that statement

democratic national convention that these -- wikileaks was going to drop documents in the public arena that we knew at that point were hacked and stolen by russia from the democratic national committee. >> the gentle lady's time has expired, you may answer her inquiry quickly. >> is it likely that donald trump was fully aware and had every intent of working with russia to help make sure that he could win the presidency at all costs? >> let me say that this is a matter that's currently being handled by the house select and senate select intelligence committees. so i would rather not answer that specific question other than just to tell you that mr. trump's desire to win would have him work with anyone. one other thing i had said in my statement, when it came to the trump tower moscow project, it was worth hundreds of millions of dollars. and we never expected to win the election. so this was just business as usual. >> thank you, mr. chairman. members of this committee have promised members of the public to a fair and open process. an gag order has been issued to limit members of this committee what they can and can not talk about. my colleagues say they want transparency, yet the dem

[ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] in fact -- [ cheers and applause ] in fact, cohen -- cohen even provided a copy of a check trump personally signed to pay off stormy daniels. look at that. that is a check the president wrote while he was in office to break election law and cover up an affair. and you can tell, because it was signed by president -- ananananananana. [ laughter ] trump's signature looks like he was trying to draw a straight line while riding a roller coaster. [ laughter ] [ applause ] now, before today, prosecutors did not technically identify trump as the person who orchestrated the hush money scheme, and court filings prosecutors referred to him only as "individual one." although they did give us a clue as to individual one's identity. "on approximately june 16th, 2015, individual one began an ultimately successful campaign -- [ laughter ] -- for president of the united states." so, everyone knew. everyone knew individual one
