so that we don't know, don.out the president at this point because what we've learned from the facts in the last few days shows that the prosecutors have information about the trump organization. they certainly have information about members of the trump family who are leaders of the organization who may have been involved in the conspiracy here, to make these payments, to violate the law. so we don't know everything that the investigators have learned. and so you could, by the way -- you may not be able to indict the president. you could indict trump organization. you could indict people around him. and, by the way, that is part of what -- why the president is so animated. we've heard from people close to him. certainly people working on this case who tell us part of the reason why he gets so angry about this and why it's so much at the front of his mind is the idea that he fears they're going to go after his kids and then they're going to go after his company, the company, which is everything to him. >> that w

so don black now is almost 70 years old. he grew up in the south, in north georgia -- i'm sorry, north alabama. and and, you know, was in schools as they were being desegregated in high school and went very hard to the far, far sides of the racial right immediately. and he joined the klan by the time he was 20 years old. you know, he, he devoted most of his life to spreading real evil in the world and did colossal amounts of damage. i mean, he at one point tried with ten other white supremacists to take over an island to try to turn it into a white utopia and was caught by the fbi on their way to the this island. he spent years in federal prison, then ran the klan with david duke, his best friend, and then turned toward the internet as the internet was just beginning to build this web site, storm front. so just when storm front was starting was when derek was born, in the are very -- in the very, very early days, really pre-internet. first as a newsletter and then as a coded web site before web sites really were popular at a

i'm don lemon. what we've learned about the inner workings of the mueller investigation has to be sending shivers through the white house tonight. first the special counsel's office saying special campaign chairman paul manafort lied about his contact with administration officials, among other things. the sentencing memo says manafort was in contact with trump administration officials as late as february of this year. and mueller's even got the texts to prove it. the second filing comes from the federal prosecutors in the southern district of new york, and it involves trump's long-time lawyer michael cohen. they say in reference to the schemes to pay hush money to stormy daniels and karen mcdougal, "in particular as cohen himself has now admitted with respect to both payments, he acted in coordination with and at the direction of individual 1." individual 1 is president trump. so michael cohen acted at the direction of donald trump when he committed two election related crimes during the 2016 campai

i'm don lemon. what a week it has been for president trump, and it's only wednesday. the president's inner circle bracing for what comes next in the wake of robert mueller's sentencing memo for michael flynn. but the fact is prosecutors don't take jail time off the table for nuttin'. so mueller's recommendation of no prison sentence for flynn, who has been interviewed 19 times by the way, tells you that he has been really, really valuable to the special counsel's investigation. has he given them a big fish? potentially a member of the president's family? well, we don't know yet what's behind all of those redactions in the flynn filing. but the top democrat on the senate intel committee, senator mark warner says that they want to talk to flynn. and don't forget -- i'm sure the president hasn't -- mueller is expected to file a sentencing memo for paul manafort on friday, one that's expected to lay out the lies manafort told to mueller's team and to the fbi. but that's not all. it looks like palling ar

don, i used to live on this street.whole foods in the basement of the building here when i started to hear the sirens. unfortunately you hear sirens in new york all the time. there's no reason to assume this is anything more than a false madeup threat. but it is wonderful to see the police here in the city taking this so seriously and make sure they're taking action. a couple of my colleagues at cnn business evacuated like did you and they're not working off site. as i know, you were -- working in restaurants, working in grocery stores, working in the cvs across the street doing whatever we can. >> and again, we don't know but the timing is suspicious. these are the times we're lynning in and we know what the situation was with the last person horn did something similar. >> that's the responsibility of the criminal. that's not the responsibility of anybody else. always think about the tone that's created and the tone that's created is important. i think it's important to say, people call in bomb threats, people who send

i'm don lemon. i want to be plain. okay? whatever you're doing, please just sit down and watch. even if you watch just this much of the show. because i think it's important for our country and the world. if you are worried tonight, you should be. because honestly, who knows what is going to happen next? i'm not being hyperbolic. i'm not being an alarmist. and here's why. however you felt or feel about james mattis, secretary mattis, general james mattis, he was the bulwark between impulse and stability in this administration. he was the last person left who could tell an impetuous president slow your roll. hold your horses. cool your jets. you don't want to do that. so tonight a political earthquake is rolling through washington as the trump administration sinks further into chaos. defense secretary james mattis, hailed as a great military leader, is resigning after the president falsely claimed isis is defeated and announced he is withdrawing troops from syria. mattis also knows that that is a fals

i understand don. trish: clearly don lemon does not understand.orget jim acosta yelling out questions, holding on to that microphone in that one infamous press conference. appropriateness kind of matters, brit. >> i agree that it's his show. we can have opinions. but you also have to be factually correct. i will disagree with our other guest because there was scandal. don lemon said there was no scandal with the obamas. operation fast and furious and benghazi happened. but that was such a beautiful moment for me. i wasn't particularly the biggest fan of barack obama as our president. but i saw how he made the moment about george h.w. bush and all of them, trump as well, they are probably not huge advocates of the obamas. they put the moment and our former president above petty behavior. trish: do you think it has anything to do with jeff zucker's political aspirations that's cnn has gone so far left? >> absolutely. i think if you are asking his outlets. these people want to openly run for the presidency. >> hold on. trish, zucker didn't say he wan

don junior was -- you know, he was involved.he was a kind of a go-between between the family and russia. so i think the kids are probably even more involved than trump himself. >> you think so? >> i think so, yeah. >> because don junior told the house judiciary committee that he was only peripherally involved in the project. do you buy that? >> he may not have been negotiating with felix sater and michael cohen. i think he was aware of it. i think he knew about it. was he making critical decisions? i'm not sure. one of the things we're going to see is don junior has testified to the house. devin nunes hasn't released any of those transcripts but those things are going to come out, and it's going to be interesting to see what's in those things. >> both don junior and eric have made comments about russia. eric said something like, we have this much fun -- and then "the washington post" is reporting that as far back as 2008, don junior told a real estate conference russians make up a pretty disproportion at cross section of a lot o

i'm don lemon. here's the breaking news. a source close to president trump telling cnn that the president now sees impeachment as a real possibility when democrats take control of the house in january. another source close to the white house tells cnn the issues causing the west wing the most concern are the campaign finance violations alleged by prosecutors for the southern district of new york. those are the hush money payments president trump directed his former attorney michael cohen to make payments to trump's alleged mistresses just before the 2016 election. also breaking tonight a bipartisan group of 44 former u.s. senators penning an op-ed in the "washington post" warning the country's entering what they call a dangerous period, saying the foundational principles of our democracy and our national security interests are at stake. they're calling on current senators to zealously safeguard our democracy. a lot to get to. so i want to bring in now ryan lizza, juliette kayyem, and greg miller. he's the author of "the appr

>> it's very positive, don. having experienced it during three tours in iraq actually, all of the presidents visited while i was active duty in the war zone. president bush famously came during thanksgiving and served dinner to our troops. what's interesting is you're jazzed for it. you're excited about it. you're seeing the commander in chief. you like to take selfies. you like to get autographs. all of those things are important. they come with a little bit of rock star image to them. but at the same time, what they don't do is politicize the event. and unfortunately as we saw some of the commentary by the president today, that's exactly what he did. and it puts the soldiers, truthfully all of the military personnel, in a very bad position because the military has regulations against doing exactly that. but the president pushed that in both iraq for a short period of time. he was there for about three hours. he landed at the air base at about 2:00 this morning, stayed about an hour and a half there, met some a

if you wanted to have don mcgahn deny a story, do you it just to don mcgahn. >> the other thing that may seem obvious, but important to say, the white house responded from the president to mueller was all about preinauguration and during the campaign and collusion. he was president well into the first year of his presidency. this is about obstruction. it's another indicator. part of the investigation if you feel you need to talk to the president's chief of staff. >> it shows great reporting and zeros in towards obstruction. i will have you stand by. this is not the only development in the russia probe. robert mueller is expected to unveil new details of his investigation into two key former trump associates. paul manafort and michael cohen. jessica shnig iica schneider isd i want to begin with you, jess. what are we expected to learn about the manafort filings today? >> we could learn about how paul manafort lied. what he lied about and most crucially, whether or not paul manafort lied about the trump campaign and the president himself or even any collusion between the trump campaign

i'm don lemon. here's our breaking news on the russia investigation. the new court filing from the special counsel's office recommending no prison time for former trump national security adviser michael flynn. mueller's team cites the benefit the government has thus far obtained from the defendant's substantial assistance. it goes on to say some of that benefit may not be fully realized at this time because the investigations are ongoing. flynn's pleaded guilty to lying to the fbi about conversations with the former russian ambassador. he is the first high ranking trump advisor who agreed to cooperate with the special counsel's probe. let's bring in cnn's sara murray. good evening to you. what's your biggest take away from this memo? >> it's got to be the words substantial assistance and the memo for all it is redacted it does lay out how much michael flynn cooperated. he's been cooperating for over a year. the filing shows he sat for 19 interviews with the special counsel's office as well as other justice department offices. that indicates to us he no

i'm don lemon. president trump starting out his day with a twitter tirade, slamming his former personal attorney. he blasted michael cohen for cooperating with the mueller investigation, for telling the truth to the special counsel. but that's not the only thing the president is worried about. we are learning that mueller's team is expected to reveal a lot about michael flynn in his sentencing memo tomorrow. the president's fired national security adviser pleaded guilty to lying to the fbi about his contacts with russia's ambassador. and flynn has been cooperating with mueller for a year, which means that mueller now knows everything flynn knows. and on friday we're going to learn a whole lot more about paul manafort's lies when mueller lays it all out in his sentencing memo. we don't know yet exactly what manafort lied about, but we're going to find out in just a few days. so there's lots to discuss. let's bring in first james clapper. he's a former director of national intelligence. good evening t

>> yes, don, i think so.the sun will come up tomorrow and somebody will follow jim mattis -- i can't think of anybody that's going to replace him. i find this disturbing, but not surprising. knowing jim as i do, i figured it was a question of time when he would reach the point where he would have to do what he did. his letter is classic. you know, it will go down in history. it was compelling both for what it said and what it didn't say. >> what are you hearing, director, from others in the national security and intelligence community? >> well, i think everyone is -- that i've engaged with is, you know, upset and disturbed about it. i got an e-mail from somebody earlier this evening saying, this makes me very nervous. tell me something that will make me calm. and i said, i don't think i can. >> you know, this president has insisted -- and when he was a candidate, for years, that he knows more about defeating isis than america's generals. i want you to listen, this is from 2016 when he was a candidate. >> do y

i'm don lemon. president trump out of sight, staying behind closed doors inside the white house today. but we know what's on his mind. breaking news tonight. sources telling cnn that the president has expressed concern that he could be impeached when the democrats take control of the house in january, okay? and also tonight, 44 former u.s. senators writing an op-ed in "the washington post." here it is. they are warning that the country is entering -- here's the op-ed -- entering what they call a dangerous period and calling on current senators to zealously guard our democracy. they say they feel an obligation to speak up about serious challenges to the rule of law, to the constitution, our governing institutions, and our national security. when have you heard of anything like that? this is at the same time as prosecutors for the first time implicate president trump, implicate him in possible criminal activity, accusing him as a candidate for office of directing his former personal lawyer and fixer,

one other thing, don. we were talking with yawn dean who we're so lucky to have as a colleague here at cnn. he is very different in my view from michael cohen. dean from 1970 to '73 was the white house council, one of the most brilliant lawyers in the united states. michael cohen was a guy who barely made it to law school who trump was just using to do little cash payments and nefarious things. it is interesting that like in watergate.tapes are so important. i'll be curious to see if there are more cohen/trump tapes that emerge here in the coming weeks. >> yeah, but again, i can't wait to see that will testimony in front of congress. that's going to be interesting. >> when sam urban did it during watergate, that's when the public started really tuning in. michael cohen in front of congress, everybody will be watching that, and that's when the public really starts turning on trump even more than they already have. >> there you go. thank you, gentlemen. i appreciate it. >>> first lady melania trump speaking

i'm don lemon. maybe it's the cover-up and the crime all at the same time. at the end of a week of bad news and worse news for this president, the walls are really closing in tonight on one of the biggest days so far in this mueller investigation with one huge development after another rocking the white house. but what may be the most stunning of all comes from the sdny, the southern district of new york, in its sentencing memo for former trump fixer and keeper of secrets, michael cohen. okay? so please listen to this. this is from page 13. it's referring to the schemes to pay hush money to stormy daniels and karen mcdougal, and here's a quote that i have here. in particular and as cohen himself has now admitted with respect to both payments, he acted in coordination with and at the direction of individual-1. you know who individual-1 is? donald trump. prosecutors say those payments were meant to influence the campaign, which is a violation of campaign finance law. that's a felony. listen to what fo

>> one of two things, don.ueller make a case, make a charge against somebody that he otherwise wouldn't have been able to make a charge on, or he would have to provide information that would greatly or significantly increase mueller's odds of getting a conviction as to somebody that mueller might have otherwise charged. so that part you were holding up before the break with all the redactions, that very well may contain information about a criminal case that mueller is going to bring due to information provided by michael flynn. >> okay. and it talks about why it's redacted, right? they said because it's still ongoing. asha, listen, there are significant redactions. renato just said that, in the filing released to the public. mueller refers to multiple investigations, including a criminal investigation, and then it's redacted right after that. what do you think he could be referring to? >> i don't want to speculate, but obviously there is a criminal investigation that is separate from the mueller investigation,

>> hey there, don. this story is really about how the president views the justice department, and here's what happened. on at least two occasions in the past few weeks, the president vented at his acting attorney general, hand-picked, matthew whitaker, about the michael cohen investigations. the president angered in particular by federal prosecutors referencing him in crimes that cohen pleaded guilty to. according to multiple sources, telling myself and pamela brown that trump was really frustrated that prosecutors that of course wit kerr oversees as the acting attorney general, filed charges that made trump look bad. of course those hush money payments to women surrounding the 2016 election. and now none of those sources say that the president actually directed whitaker to stop the investigations, but these discussions between whitaker and trump really underscore the extent to which the president believes the attorney general should serve as his personal protector. and it gives a glimpse into the stran
