this is "cnn tonight," i'm don lemon. the big headline, cnn reports michael cohen is prepared to tell robert mueller that donald trump knew and approved of that infamous trump tower meeting with russians in june of 2016. his attorney, rudy giuliani, you just saw him on with chris, challenging cohen's credibility in that interview a short time ago. thank you for that, my friend. let's talk about credibility. who does the special prosecutor believe? mueller and his team? for all these years, michael cohen has been a fixer for donald trump. he has his issues with credibility, as have some folks. and the president has his issue with credibility and truth. so who do you believe? it's important, though, and you keyed in on it, there are other people who were in the room who can corroborate it, correct? >> if the meeting is anything like what michael cohen, through sources, suggested, that he was at a meeting where others were present, then yes, you're right, and the key will be in the corroboration. >> so with rudy giuliani say

"cnn tonight" with don lemon takes it from here. don, that's the hope out of all the hysteria and we saw left, right and reasonable come together in unison today in a way we have not seen. >>> the reason part of that what you just mentioned is probably the most important part. listen, you played that sound bite. hearing it all over again is just as shocking and just as stunning every single time you hear it. you can't believe the president of the united states is undermining his own intelligence community and america while standing on an international stage with one of our enemies. i can't believe it. >> i wish it weren't true, but it is. and now we've got the move past that and figure out what the hell do we do now. >> well, let's hope in the news cycle, you know, this doesn't just become next week, it's over and we're onto -- >> i don't think so. not on our watch. this matters too much. and i'm going to watch your show right now. >>> this is "cnn tonight." i'm don lemon. and what we all saw and heard in helsinki tonight is really

>> don, first of all, thank you for having me. and i wish the republicans had come on because really, don, truth is nonpartisan, and i truly believe that in these hearings, we should give the person people hope, hope in their constitution, hope in their governance and those who govern. what it was like was a shark tank if i might unfortunately use a phrase or maybe a popular show because there were a group that wanted nothing more than to undercut, to cut down peter strzok as opposed to getting facts. and that's what the american people -- they can live with transparency and truth, and that is what we wanted to get out, the story. we wanted to reinforce, don, if i might, pages and pages of the inspector general. and for those who don't know, an inspector general is in every agency. and it has a firewall around it where it can investigate its own. and clearly in this document, although bias was evidenced, they said it had nothing to do wth the investigation, or there was no bias in the investigation. and it says it specifically her

we can play the tape again, don. what they say in the tape is i have spoken to adam or a name like that to set up -- >> the short version, the little 30-second version of it. let me know when we have that. and harry, i promise i'll let you respond. >> i need to open up a company for the transfer of all of that info regarding our friend david, you know, so that -- i'm going to do that right away. >> give it to me. >> i've spoken to alan weiselberg about how to set the whole thing up with -- >> how are we going to pay -- >> funding, yes. it's all the stuff -- you never know what company -- >> -- >> correct. i'm all over that. i spoke to alan about it when it comes time for the financing -- >> listen, what financing? >> we'll have to pay -- >> pay cash. >> no, no, no, i got -- >> so, i mean, it sounds to me like he said cash. and he says, no, no, no, check. cash is cash. >> well, no, cash is not necessarily cash in a greenbacks sense of the word. cash could mean just as easily a non-financed, if you will, not a loan. a

it may be that mueller has a lot more questions for don jr. now after this latest round of leaks coming from michael cohen's team. certainly, the story around this meeting in trump tower that don jr. has told partially, partially last summer whenmy colleagues here at the "times" first reported on it has continued to change. it is the latest iteration. the president denies that he knew about this. this certainly puts that whole meeting in a new light. >> so you have this, what cohen is now saying, which is different from what cohen had testified, what don jr. testified on the hill, that he knew about it. number two, this morning news from vladimir putin that he is now invited trump to moscow and has accepted this invitation a few days late to come to washington. tell me what bunk that. >> well, it's fascinating. after all the negative reports and the summit at the news conference, he then issued this invitation via twitter and he said it would be coming through his national security adviser, for putin to come. and then in moscow, it was receiv

. >>> this is "cnn tonight," i am don lemon. a little past 11:00 an the east live with the new developments. the white house is considering a shocking proposal by vladimir putin, to allow russia to interrogate americans, including a former american ambassador to russia. in exchange, putin will permit robert mueller to question russians charged with interfering in the 2016 election. i want you to listen to what the press sector sarah sanders said today. >> several americans named when they requested were involved in their terms, including a former ambassador of russia. does president trump support that idea? >> the president's going to meet with his team and we'll let you know. we'll have an announcement on that. >> is that a topic that came up in their conversation? >> there was some conversation about it but there wasn't a commitment made on behalf of the united states and the president will work with his team and we'll let you know if there's an announcement on that front. >> the state department is calling russia's proposal,

not you don, but meaning voters.nt counsel if that independent counsel were to go in a direction that the country posed, there was no elected oversight and with a special counsel although there's been a lot of fear that trump would exercise his power to fire mueller through his deputy attorney general, the truth is there's oversight. i don't think brett cavanaugh will have any issue with the special counsel's existence. >> i want to talk about the fbi director christopher wrey. he was asked about the mueller investigation. >> i do not believe he's on a wimp hunt. it's a man i've known to be straight shooter. >> i don't think it's a kwiwitc hunt. the president calls it a witch hunt. that's a direct rebuttal. >> it is. it's consistent with what they have said. it's being carefully supervizzed. it's been well within the mission and mandate and it's been very productive. we've seen this support from the fbi and from doj for the special counsel investigation. that's a good thing and hopefully it continues to try to rebut

i thought that what the democratic party used to do exactly what julio just sad go ahead don. politics is supposed to be the field in which public policy is determined and in a democratic society which people refer to the united states as they've been there wouldn't my whole life referring to it that those decisions policy decisions a supposed to be made democratically when you have that determination is a policy made at the beginning of the process by you know big money basically whether it's democrats or republicans who are the politicians that will implement those policies the job becomes then selling policy that the people don't want to people by madison avenue techniques which is where you get identity politics we are going to do things that are good for big banks we're going to do things that are good for the military industrial complex we're going to do things that are good for the prison industrial complex we have to sell it to black folks this way hispanic folks this way so white working class folks this way etc in other words these divisions quote unquote that are yo

i'm don lemon. in a few hours, president trump will start his second day of meetings with our allies because the first day went so well. the president deploying with a what you could call, i know you are, what am i strategy? >> if you look at it, germany is a captive of russia because they supply -- they got rid of their coal and nuclear and getting so much oil and gas from russia. >> deflecting much? it's not germany's relationship with russia causing so much concern now, it's trump's. if president trump's goal is to append our relationships with some of our closest allies ahead of his own meeting with vladimir putin, he's doing a pretty good job of it. once a european saying quote, it's like the world's gone crazy this morning," trump's performance was beyond belief, the end of the quote. and this may be the most ridiculous. let's look at the reactions as president trump repeats his claim germany is controlled by russia. >> germany is totally controlled by russia because they're getting 60 to 70%

the news continues so i want to hand it over to don lemon. "cnn tonight" starts right now. don?" i'm don lemon. donald trump's presidency can be defined by lies. well over 2,000 of them so far. and those lies are coming fast and furious. last week alone president trump made 54 false claims. the last six weeks are among trump's most dishonest as president. that's according to

i'm don lemon. 11:00 p.m. here on the east coast live with all the new developments for you tonight. distract, distract, distract. president trump's distraction and diversion strategy. get people to stop focusing on the disastrous helsinki summit and the worst week of the trump presidency. so the white house now going after six top national security officials threatening to strip their security clearances. and tonight sources telling cnn that the president is quite pleased with the whole discussion and distraction. so let's discuss now. frank bruiny is here, a cnn contributor and also columnist for "the new york times," also michael d'antonio, author of "the truth about trump." good evening, gentlemen. this threat to revoke security clearances we face this challenge again, right, frank? it's a distraction, right? but what he's doing is also a big story because i think he's promoting an enemies list. so what do we do? we have to cover it but it's another distraction. >> we have to cover it because it's another

six days later, don junior met with russian lawyer natalia veselnitskaya at trump tower. joining him, trump's campaign chairman at the time, paul manafort, and his son-in-law, jared kushner. when "the new york times" broke the story last year about the secret meeting, don junior didn't initially disclose the intended purpose of the meeting. instead, he said the purpose was to discuss the adoption of

i'll bring don lemon out. he's going to pick up on this story, so as soon as don is ready, bring him to the show. >> i'm ready. i was just sitting down and getting ready. >> sorry to take you by surprise. rudy giuliani said do not pay with cash, use a check. we did not have this sweetened with an audio expert. rudy giuliani said he did. here's one point. the trump administration put out a statement and said cash is being used as a financing term, not a reference to green money. whether you're paying on a one-time payment or over time, financing. now, if that's true, then why would trump say the word "check"? it is true no payment was ever made of any kind, so this is about intentions and credibility, and this idea that you're going to hear what you want to hear, this is a tricky one. you and i both know michael cohen. that was trump's guy. he had a lot of depth with the trump base. will they just not believe him out of allegiance to trump when this is someone they also used to believe? >> i think that's a very

don jr. taxi cabs, maybe. he even retained bill and crooked hillary's lawyer. gee, i wonder if they helped him malk the choice. times change. the president, his allies, repeatedly, public times inned that the president was unaware of the meeting until just a few days before it made headlines a year ago. in other words, a year after it happened. here is it -- >> did you know that -- >> no, i didn't know anything about it. it must have been a very unimportant meeting, bought i didn't even heard of it. >> no one even told you a word about it? >> nobody -- i didn't know that. it's -- it sounded like a very unimportant meeting. >> let's just go to the details of this unimportant meeting. team trump has changed its story many times. don jr. originally said he never met with my russians, and then the emails forced him to admit that he did south sit down with a russian lawyer who promised to have dirt on hillary clinton. as the meeting gets through, significance as we found out who was there and the

we have don that in the past. for the most part, they don't share our goals for what the world should look like. they want a world centered around russia -- >> back in -- >> yeah, i don't agree with that. we need to see a lot more before we let russia into our alliance like that. >> so, you tweeted something, you wrote, the renÉs burni republicans' burning and we're all bystanders, this is not hyperbole. explain what you're saying and why today? >> i saw the bureau yoksy, anyone whose done with the federal institution knows it's hard to get them to do something when you need them to do it. now we see how weak these institutions whb it comes up against authoritarian nations. the institutions themselves aren't built for this. our democracy is fragile enough right now because of the what's happened. we're starting to see and not feel quite impactfully as we should some of the things that authoritarians have typically done throughout the years. for instance, we have two branchs of power, executive branch and congress

the guy whose name is don jr. whose whole life is owed it to don sr. would tell don sr. don jr.ht he could do something for don, sr., he would probably tell him. >> tucker: based on your intimate knowledge. i'm just trying to get to the bottom of it. people should stop pretending it's real because it's fake. as you would put it we knoww th that. it's good to see you. dan bongino former secret service agent joins us now. i'm starting to conclude that we are actually complicit in this insanity by playing along with it. someone who paid money to a foreign national to get dirt from t the russians whips around and accuses someone else, you shouldn't take it seriously but we all are taking it seriously. why are we adding to the sum total of the craziness? >> i liked chris off the air air lot but i think we are all dumber for having seen g that. we may have lost about ten iq points because you notice how he scrambled when you asked him a simple question. this is a complicated case, let me distill this down to one simpleg thing. we cannot figure out how in one case this is the crime of

the morning after don jr.'s denials on fox news, the president's lawyer, jay sekulow, told cnn this -- >> the president was not aware of the meeting, did not attend the meeting, and was only made aware of the e-mails very recently by counsel. i wasn't involved in the statement drafting at all, nors what the president. >> reporter: a week later, a strong denial from the president himself, during this taped interview with "the new york times." >> did you know at the time? >> no, i didn't. >> but you didn't -- >> it must have been a very unimportant meeting because i never even heard about it. >> no one told you a word, nothing? >> it's a very unimportant -- sounded like a very unimportant -- >> reporter: if that's true and the president didn't know anything about it as he says, how does he explain what happened next? "the washington post" reported last july that the president himself decided to say the meeting was about adoption. and dictated the misleading statement don jr. gave "the new york times." the paper s

on july 8, 2017, don jr. down played the meeting that happened a year and a month earlier, saying in a statement they primarily discussed a program about the adoption of russian children. reports surfaced nearly a month later that president trump helped draft that statement himself, while aboard air force o one, calling the meeting, quote, not a campaign issue at the time. on july 9, just a day later, don jr. walked that back a bit acknowledging that he did meet with the russians, for campaign information, but the meeting turned out to be about adoptions. two days later, on july 11, don jr. appeared on "fox news" and said this. >> a lot of people are going to want to know this about your father. did you tell your father anything about this? >> no. it was such a nothing. there was nothing to tell. i mean i wouldn't even have remembered it until you start scouring through the stuff. it was just a waste of 20 minutes. >> then the next day in an exclusive interview with reuters, the president asked if he knew the

and allen, don jr.'s lawyer, came out with this vague and opaque statement, just blanketly saying that they're confident the information that don jr. provided was accurate but not really getting to the heart of the matter which was, this did not take place, he not the tell his father about it. so we're seeing the larger implications, not just potential collusion but another part of the robert mueller investigation, obstruction of justice. if it can be shown that don jr. lied. not for perjury but false statements. if it can be shown that trump did know about it, he crafted the false statement on air force one. that's huge implications. >> everybody, stand by. we now have the photo. this was taken by politico. what we have spotlighted, i cannot believe what we have been discussing. this is reagan airport in washington, d.c., the man spotlighted on the left of the screen, just sitting there. this is robert mueller. this is the special counsel who is the one we've been saying knows way more than we all. do h

why is it that don jr. was there. why is i conversation because i'm take one. >> is it that he doesn't want to take one or doesn't have enough on the president? >> i think that -- well, it could be both. like i said before, i've had plenty of clients who have taken plea deals that swore they weren't guilty. apparently, he hasn't come to the amount of money it's taking to defend himself or to the pressure to lie or simply maybe he's just saying he doesn't have anything to do with it and he's going to toughen up and i would try and bring in as much information that it is the, quote, be unquote, witch hunt, and my client is being offered up because of the polarization of the politics. >> but that's not really going to fly in a court of law. let's talk about who has accepted a plea deal. rick gates, george papadopoulos, mike flynn, the attorney, former trump adviser to rick gates. that, again, what kardashian karen just brought up is the pr strategy. is that going to flow in a court of law here as manafort's defense? >> t

i'm don lemon. thank you so much for watching. it's hard to imagine that president trump could have looked weaker than he did yesterday standing next to vladimir putin in helsinki. well, that was until today when he couldn't even pull off damage control. it took more than 24 hours for the president to offer the weakest possible excuse for his unprecedented display of un-american behavior yesterday. >> in a key sentence in my remarks i said the word would instead of wouldn't. the sentence should have been i don't see any reason why i wouldn't or why it wouldn't be russia. so just to repeat it, i said the word would instead of wouldn't. and the sentence should have been and i thought i would be maybe a little bit unclear on the transcript or unclear on the actual video. >> not only does that defy logic it defies common sense. how dumb does this president think we are? he wants you to ignore what we heard with our own ears. he wants you to ignore the fact that in that same answer yesterday standing side by side again with vladimir pu
