don, don, go ahead. >> >> go ahead. >> if i may one of things we see and comparing steve mnuchin's wife to someone like michelle grace period. she got criticized because she was first lady wearing stocking. she redefined being a first read. she didn't have to read a book or learn how to act in public. i'm not sitting here and chase tries or criticize some of the secretaries or individuals which was that's not my waist. you your from louisiana. i'm not talking about somebody's wife that's fighting words. i'm not doing that. what donald trump did was surround himself with incompetent people. is so, no, they're either aloof like zincy or mnuchin or incompetent like ben carson and others. what we are seeing right now is the evolution of a cabinet that has no where with aldoesn't understand what common american folk go through. at a and the irony is that donald trump sold the merp people a pill bill of goods. he said we're fighting for you. now he has people like the epa director who doesn't know a first class seat that he does not like. and that's the problem with all of this. >> well, listen, we are going to have to fight because this is my job to talk about your wife especially if he spends money. >> i'm not talking about nobody's wife, donaking decisions -- and spending our money as taxpayers. because, you mentioned. he mentioned a $31,000 dining room set and said his which have was responsible. why is his wife not even an employee even making decisions. >> listen, i'm not talking about his wife but maybe dr. carson's dog got the invoice. >> he threw his wife under the bus so it gave me leeway. >> i'm not doing that. the criticism is fair. the dinette set is fair. the pruitt's first class travel is fair. but what's not fair is a lot of the travels when pruitt would go to the dsh paris accord agreement in paris there he has to travel with the detail when the secretary jenna mccarthy during the osh administration she had detail and incurred koufts some of the costs criticism the spare some of these the criticism is silly at this point because it's standard normal operating procedure. but i do think that people in this administration at least the kablt secretaries i worked with getting them confirmed are forgetting the pri

don -- don, i just want to .1 thing out. there was nothing until michael cohen made the pronounce pronouncement he paid her $130,000 and the rest secretary said he won in arbitration, the president did about an agreement that the president said never existed >> joe when did they come to you when did they come just answer that question when did they come to you. >> that's none of which is has no. >> that's extremely relevant because you're saying. >> jack, please. >> stop trying to distract from the issue. >> it's interesting you won't answer the question you know there was something what why did they come to you if there was nothing. >> please let him make his point. >> please be quiet. until the two events happened stormy daniels was someone going to a strip clubs being a stripper. she went on talk shows saying she couldn't talk about the case until the two events events happened. understand it and own it. i don't know who whose bag of water you are carrying. here the bottom line until michael cohen did that until the press secretary did that stormy daniels had defied it publicly the same way trump had done. >> why did they go to you. >> please. >> why did they go to joe if there wasn't anything there? why don't joe tell us when they went to him because they knew that his. >> he is a lawyer. >> this guy -- hold on. >> jack because that has nothing to do with anything, if anyone ever ever used an attorney you shop attorneys sometimes. i'm not sure i want this person that person, i can't speak for joe he he is here to speak. but i think that's irrelevant to the conversation. she has since gone with the lawyer that she has gone with. the lawyer is speaking on her behalf and openly i don't think it matters when she went to. >> quite well he is impress. >> he work for rahm emmanuel he is such a non-partisan guy. >> that's that doesn't marry matter. >> it does. >> you're trying to distract from the facts of the case. >> here is the facts of the case. here the facts of the case. and i'm going to. >> what's the facts of the case the president sfad he never had an affair. >> joe my turn now, joe. >> we'll be right back you guys will talk about it after this. be right back. >> to now we got a commercial. unconventional, unexpected nudes. liquid matte formula. up to 16 hour wear. go un-nude with attitude. maybelline's matte ink un-nude. only from maybelline new york. maybelline's matte ink un-nude.

let's go to the tape. all right on november 49th, 2016 days before the 2016 election, the "wall street journal" first reported that stephanie clifford known as porn star stormy daniels was in discussion was abc good morning america to disclose a possible relationship with donald trump. trump spokes woman, hope hicks released a statement in response saying, that it was absolutely unequivocally untrue. not exactly what most people would call extensive, right there. and things were quiet for a while. and on january 12th of this year the "wall street journal" first reported on a possible hush money payoff over an alleged affair between donald trump and stormy daniels. the white house responded with, these are old recycled reports which were published and strongly denied prior to the election. except, we didn't know about a payoff before the election. just that stormy daniels was in talks to disclose a relationship. we never learned about the alleged relationship between daniels and donald trump because she entered an agreement for her silence at a cost of $130,000. on january 18th the next time the white house was pressed about stormy daniels, deputy press secretary raj shah to the state your name and asked and answered deflection when asked the president's response to the allegation he said the allegation was asked and answered during the campaign. i'll point you to those comments. again no one asking about a payoff during the 2016 campaign, because no one knew about a payoff until january of this year. which is 2018, be the year of our lord. on february 13 michael cohen admitted to paying $130,000 to stormy daniels and shortly after that the white house dodged questions about it again. >> the president's personal lawyer acknowledged giving a $130,000 payment to stormy daniels. is the president aware that his lawyer paid that kind of money to a porn star to bay her silence? does he have proof of that. >> i haven't asked him about it. but that matter has been asked and answered in the past. >> no not since he -- he ac nonld this. he acknowledged this last week. this is the first time we've had a chance to ask about it. can you go back and find out if the president approves of the fact that his personal lawyer -- >> that's just another non-answer saying the questions have been answered. this brings us to earlier this week when we learn that stormy daniels has sued president trump over the alleged affair and hush agreement and yet again the white house has asked questions about it. >> did the president approve of the payment that was made in october of 2016 by his long-term lawyer and adviser michael cohen. >> look the president addressed these directly and made very well clear that none of these allegations are true. this case has already been won in arbitration and anything beyond that i would you refer to the president's outside counsel. >> when did the president address specifically the cash payment that was made in october of 2016? >> the president denied the ails against him and again this case has already been won in arbitration. >> still dodging. but by attempting to deflect from the lawsuit she claimed the president won in arbitration, an admission that a non-disclosure agreement exists and it directly involves the president. it was the first time the white house acknowledged trump was involved with daniels in any way. with that, there are a lot of questions that need to be answered. and zsh -- dsh asked and answered about i the the agreement between michael cohen and stormy daniels and donald trump. or david dennison. as it is in the agreement. the truth is the white house hasn't extensively answered questions about storm stormy daniels. press secretaries said they addressed it. they haven't. they have said the president addressed it. he has not. and they are going to face more questions about it until they do. so back with me now joan walsh david kingston, dave swerdlick and joe takapino. clearly, the white house really hasn't addressed this at all. can they get away -- oh, oh did we lose him? can they get away? i'll ask that for david. joe are you back? >> i'm here. >> you're up there in canada and so we are having a little technical difficulties. >> the water might have frozen. >> i did not touch the switch, joe i'm. >> jack tried to unplug it. >> i did not can't come from my microphone. >> can they get away with ignoring this story much longer, joe. >> i never thought he could get away with anything that's happened the last year and a half so i don't know. i guess if you keep saying liar, liar pants on fire, maybe it works. but they keep saying things that aren't accurate like we answered, the president answer to do. now they're saying it's not true. a all the things they said before are being confirmed by the white house. again, this is the people around donald trump who are really doing the most damage, the press secretary and his personal lawyer in this is instance hurt opheim because they confirmed things he defied. they confirmed michael cohen paid the money on behalf of the president because the press secretary said it was his arbitration the president won. so we know he paid $130,000 on behalf of the president not himself. he can't say i had an affair with her. i don't know where with he go with it other than just admit and it move on. >> jack you're shaking your head. >> they doelgtsly mishandled tp she did say the president was a party to the arbitration. so ut oh the window goes the notion that somehow michael cohen did this on his own. so i think it's got -- it's gotten worse. it's gotten worse because of his own people. it's not going away. and they haven't answered it. they have said over and over we dealt with it. they denied the affair. but you know, don, none of us care about the affair. we know that man is a fi-- he i his third wife. we have heard the allegations of sexual assault. nobody thinks he is a saint. >> we heard him on tape. >> we heard him on tape admitting it. the prom is the cover up. >> and he had an affair with his first wife and led to alt eye a lot of hens. the children were unhappy for a long time. david, how should the president deal with it. >> the president will keep doing what he is doing for this reason. the way things unfolded this week with sarah huckabee sanders with michael cohen, he is facing questions about the payment, whether it was a campaign finance violation and also the sort of non-denial denials that you were talking about in the white house briefing room. the president has not come out and addressed these in a fullsome way. i don't think he is going to face a political backlash for all the reasons we've been talking about. the core supporters, the 40% -- it's still 40% if you look at the most rec

convey the president's threat that don mcgahn might get fired, that the president might get rid of don mcgahn if don mcgahn did not change his story about the president ordering the firing of the special prosecutor. and so tonight john kelly sinks to a new low, taking his spot now in the thick of the special prosecutor's investigation. and now rob porter is in the thick of it too passing along the president's threat to the white house counsel. also tonight "the washington post" has the breaking news that the special counsel has gathered evidence just before the inauguration of the president was an effort to establish a back channel between the incoming administration and the kremlin apparently contradicting statements made to lawmakers by one of the participants. a witness has told mueller that the meeting was set up in advance so that the representative of the trump transition could meet to discuss future relations between the countries. joining us now paul butler, natasha bertrand, and sam stein is with us. paul butler, i want to go to this scene in the oval office where you hear the president of

don camp. i don't know a thing about art, and i doubt you'll disagree when you hear about the two paintings that sat in my basement for years. >> don, phyllis, i'm jamie. >> jamie, glad to meet you. >> you have a beautiful home. don and phyllis's story starts a few years back in 2011, when don retires from his job as an electrical engineer in upstate new york. oh, they have all sorts of plans. they want to downsize. they want to travel the world, see their daughter in taiwan and work with christian charities in africa. and they want to be closer to their grandchildren in denver. so don and phyllis sell their house. how long had you been in that house? >> about 20 years. we had accumulated a lot of stuff. >> with the move date looming, phyllis assigns don the unpleasant task of going through the basement. >> we had a path with boxes on both sides. it was a challenge. >> it's there that don rediscovers two paintings, draped under a bed sheet. >> both of them were probably the same vintage, probably 1920s, in their original frames. >> i knew about the paintings down there, because i'd covered them up with a sheet. >> did you know how you and your husband had obtained them? >> they came from don's parents, so that's

don and don but really want to make sure that this transition as you mentioned is one that goes largely without incident but there are many many questions you know there are complications or factions within the ruling party who's going to be the next prime minister going to be a major question about how things will unfold so i think a lot of strong words will be exchanged i think both from these europeans are not happy with the public almost golding that the americans have given them on the state of emergency and trying to figure out what the best way is to move forward. it's quite a busy time in africa we've got the russian foreign minister making it or as well as his u.s. counterpart and a lot of talk from the american side about chinese influence on the continent is this about countering of apollo's infiltration shall we say. the lot of activity here are course china is heavily invested in africa it's not a new thing i think you know the common bisected term is good won't go down very well in the bay getting and also we have by design and they aren't going to have apologized for housing all but we want to listen right now because we understand that the ethiopian foreign minister mr what name as as well as to the us and the speaking at this press conference does this and then for us to the u.s. secretary of state that are more than one hundred year diplomatic relationship between ethiopia and the united states it's been an enduring relationship as the foreign minister described as an all weather relationship that even when storm clouds together we remain friends and have always worked through the challenges together. also want to acknowledge again today this being international women's day and an opportunity to recognize and celebrate the social economic cultural and political achievements of women across the world and note the role of women in ethiopia in promoting economic growth as well it's quite evident the prominence that the women already occupy in government but in economics as well street being the rule of law the important role they play in human rights and in building in strengthening a civil society that will thrive as indicated united states and ethiopia longstanding partners i was glad to have the opportunity exchange views with foreign minister on many areas of mutual interest that we share or we recognize and share concerns expressed by the government about incidents of violence and loss of life we do firmly believe the answer is greater freedom for people not less. we recognize the transition that is underway the opi of the first ever voluntary transfer of power and i view this as a very positive symbol of the strength of this very young democracy in ethiopia a peaceful transition of power given recent events the united states has expressed our concerns with the government's decision to impose another state of emergency it because it does put restrictions on fundamental rights like assembly of expression we also discussed in our exchange the importance of ensuring that security forces remain disciplined in maintaining law and order preventing violence they have a very difficult challenge on their hands this is this test their oldest or listening in there to the u.s. secretary of state hailing the transition and the process that's going on of change in ethiopia speaking from at this abba he's touring the african continent as is the russian foreign minister a busy time for the continent then. china is promising what it calls a justified and necessary sponsor if there's a trade war with the u.s. foreign minister says china has no intention of displacing the u.s. and such a war would only harm all sides president dog trump is expected to impose steep tariffs on steel and out of india imports he says cheap imports from china and other countries on the mining american jobs china correspondent adrian brown has more from beijing. this is one of those rare occasions when china's foreign minister faces both the international as well as the chinese media the news conference happened on the sidelines of the national people's congress to avoid embarrassment questions are submitted and screened in advance but clearly the foreign minister had expected to be asked questions about the prospect of a trade war with the united states he said that china wanted to avoid that but if one happened the response from china would be both necessary and justified he said that in a trade war it's not just the target country that gets hurt but also the initiator and he also said that china and the united states have to be wary of the impact a trade war would have on other countries his language was measured but the warning was implicit lucia cheer. history tells us that a treat or is never the correct solution which is specially in the era of globalization you choosing a tree or is definitely a wrong remedy shots with the result will hurt yourself which and others and china would take the necessary response for sure. the foreign minister spoke a lot about china's role in the world he said china had no intention of displacing united states as the world's number one economy but he also said that china's rejuvenation was unstoppable but that its rise would be peaceful and throughout the news conference there were repeated references to xi jinping thought it is a reminder the chinese foreign policy is also very much she jingping policy. donald trump is refusing to back down on those planned tariffs on steel imports though he is there is a sign off on the measures by the end of the week reports. the u.s. stock market did not respond well to news donald trump's top economic adviser is leaving it open rattled over fears of losing gary cones moderating influence in the white house cone with the chief architect of trump's business friendly tax cuts but investors are nervous about the president's protectionist tariffs plan for for an aluminum and steel at a meeting of the world trade organization america's trade partners expressed displeasure the european union has also announced plans to retaliate with tariffs on products like american tobacco and orange juice trying follow through with his threat if it does happen we would have to take measures to protect european jobs and workers thank you very much at a white house press conference on tuesday was sweden's prime minister trump was undeterred and lashed back at the e.u. threat but the european union has been particularly tough on the united states. they make it almost impossible for us to do business with them and yet they send their cars and everything else back into the united states and they can do whatever they'd like but if they do that then we put a big tax of twenty five percent on their cars and believe me they won't be doing it very long the position of trumps commerce secretary who clashed with cone trade policies with the e.u. are out of date concessions made to rebuild a post-war europe don't make sense in the context of a strong modern european economy concessions that were perfectly reasonable to make to germany in one nine hundred forty five or trying to nineteen forty five don't buy existence anymore those are now very mature big strong economies i'm winced in social media trump continued to deflect fears of a global trade war arguing the us has lost more than fifty five thousand factories six million manufacturing jobs and accumulated trade deficit of more than twelve trillion dollars the white house says donald trump will

a team led by don mcgann. don mcgann in my view is quite correct to argue let's not give the special counsel anything. he has a team headed by john dowd, mark kasowitz, now joe digenova. he has three pieces of litigation, involving three women who claim to have had relationships, one who has given an insinldry interview to 60 minutes, we'll hear on sunday night. one of them to take the president's deposition, to put him under oath and question him about his relationship, intimate sexual relationship with this lady 12 years ago. this is not good for all of this to happen to the president while he's talking to putin and signing tariffs on china, and negotiating spending with the congress. >> harris: it doesn't show he can get the job done no matter what is going on? >> many because in the air but he is human. this is almost league under siege. >> harris: so this is why i come back to the case that you just laid out and you are a judge, so do you that so well, this is why i come back to wouldn't you rather have a tea

don jr., i'm sure don jr. reported to his father, what they had heard. i don't think there's anything wrong with that, by the way. >> you think don jr. told his father everything he was hearing about getting offers of dirt? >> yes, i'm sure he did. >> i'm sure he did. and is that a problem? well, here is how a legal expert, susan hennessy responded, she said one crime would be where don jr. told a congressional committee that didn't happen. and trump jr.'s public statement to congress, he did not explicitly say whether or not he had told his father about this meeting, but there was a kind of blanket denial, he said the meeting was so insignificant, he didn't recall discussing it with jared, paul or anyone else. he told staffers he did not tell his father about the meeting. his father says he didn't know, but if he did tell his father and then lied about it to mueller authorities, that's a crime right there. and sam nunberg said he expected to get and use the information that came out of the trump tower meeting. >> donald trump said something, in other words, we'll learn in a week, or something like that. >> you think that donald trump

don mcgahn to put out this statement. i mean, i guess the two options are he knew what he had told don mcgahn, he wanted don mcgahn to lieor he had forgotten it or i guess the third one is he just chose to remember it in a different way. >> right. i mean, it's hard to know, you know, anderson, this president is no stranger to telling lies or telling falsehoods. he is also no stranger to forgetting what he has said before. he is no stranger to casting a remark differently the next time around. i'm not in his head. i have no way of knowing exactly what he intended when he asked that question, but mcgahn clearly remembered it otherwise. and most significantly, mcgahn told the version that he was contesting the president over to mueller's investigators and lying to federal investigators is a crime. so, that carries extra weight. >> fascinating. maggie haberman. appreciate it. coming up next bernie sanders about the chaos in the white house, a lot more when we continue. i'm just worried about the house and taking care of the boys. zach! talk to me. it's for the house. i got a job. it's okay. dad took care of us. a hilton geta

don i'll tell you why because it's apples and oranges. >> no, no it's not. >> it's not apple as and oranges steve steve, steve. the fact of the matter is right the president. >> don. >> the president is the president of the country. you don't pick and choose what things you want to talk about or what things you don't want to talk about. wait a minute the constitution guarantees all citizens all citizens all citizens should be able to have due process. that guy should have had due process. >> absolutely. >> he should not have been shot 20 times. first they said it was a crowbar. then a gun. then finally it was a cell phone. >> don. >> how do you confuse a cell phone. >> don. >> from being a crowbar to a gun? there is something wrong here steve. it's okay to admit that hey we have a problem. we need to address this issue. >> this. >> you can admit that it's okay. >> this may well be -- here is the difference. this may very well be a problem i'm not dismissing that. again we dmoent enough i don't think about sacramento to tell it may well be a problem. but here is the key difference because you can't equate the killer of kate steinle who was an illegal immigrant known criminal. >> we're not equating the killer. >> with a cop who may have acted inappropriately. >> you're missing the point. >> i'm not. >> we're talking about the president of the united states giving. >> i give cops the benefit of the doubt and so does the president. >> no, no you miss the point. the president of the united states is giving one story -- one group of people attention while choosing not to give another group of people attention. each

it's probable that that meeting with don junior i am sure don junior reported to his father what he heard. i don't think there's anything wrong with that. >> you think don junior told his father everything he was hearing of getting offers of dirt? >> yes, i'm sure he did. >> i'm sure too. >> i'm still sure. that's what i'm thinking. i was thinking oh my god, i cannot believe he just said that and does he have a law degree for real? because it's not that that alone would establish the crime. i mean, the fact that donald trump was told by his son hey, look, we can get some dirt on clinton and use it for the campaign. that in and of itself wouldn't necessarily prove the violation. but it certainly establishes one of the elements that you need to get to that. >> and on top of that, don junior reportedly testified to congress that he didn't tell his father. >> absolutely. but we already know that there have been a number of inconsistencies in this investigation. >> does it surprise you how much we are learning, and i mentioned this point to some degree in the top of the show, how much we're learning from the actual principles? in the new jay z. album he says

don mcgahn testified, and don mcgahn told the special counsel that the president at one point asked him to fire bob mueller, the special counsel. after that, apparently "the times" reports asked mcgahn to put out a public statement saying that's not true. mcgahn would not do so. politically the president trying to help himself, if you have. legally, what's the jeopardy? >> what we also know about the episode where he told mcgahn to fire mueller is that mcgahn then told mueller about that episode. so it's not necessarily just about politically wanting to have a statement out there saying this never happened, it also could be construed as trying to get a witness in this investigation to change their story. and that, i think, is where the problem lies and why he is being warned by kelly and many others, including don not talk to witnesses, to not allow it to appear as if he's trying to influence this investigation, because we already know bob mueller is looking at the possibility that the president sought to obstruct justice. and while my understanding, i'm not a lawyer, but my understanding is it's not illegal to ask witnesses what they talked about or to have a conversation with a witness about what they talked about, it could go to an intent to try to cover things up if there are enough instances like this that are uncovered by mueller in which the president seems to be questioning or trying to undermine the testimony. >> that's the key point. if it's information gathering, it's one thing. if it is part of a continued effort, lawyers might use the term conspiracy, to gather information or to get people to change their story or gather information from them that then helps you do something to get in the way of the investigation, that should be left to his lawyers, right? it shouldn't be the presi

don lemon on "cnn tonight." >> i'm don lemon and this is "cnn tonight." another scandal for the president from a porn star. the president reportedly had not one, but two, conversations where he asked key witnesses what they discussed with robert mueller's investigators. the president asked former chief of staff reince priebus if investigators had been, in his word, nice. they also said the president went so far as to say the white house counsel don mcgahn should deny trump asked him to fire mueller. >>> the scandal about president trump and the porn star. stormy daniels' attorney claims she was threatened today by michael cohen, trump's long-time attorney, in an attempt to keep her quiet. which makes you wonder what else she might know here. that's after the white house tried again and again today to dance around the questions about this tawdry mess, and whether the president knew about the $130,000 check his lawyer wrote. sarah sanders defaulting to what's becoming the favorite response of this white house. quote, not that i'm aware of. >> sarah, you said repeatedly we've addressed our feelings on that situation in regards to the stormy daniels incident. specifically, did the president approve of the payment that was made in october of 2016 by his long-time lawyer and adviser, michael cohen? >> the president has addressed these directly and made very well clear that none of these allegations are true. this case has already been

don mcgahn is doing it for donald trump. don mcgahn reportedly threatened to resign when donald trump tried to fire the special prosecutor, robert mueller. inside accounts of the white house show don mcgahn in constantly near panicked stressful situations trying to prevent the firing of the attorney general and other legally wreckless moves by a president accused of obstruction of justice because of things the president did his very first days in office. so it comes as no surprise that politico is reporting tonight president donald trump's top white house lawyer, don mcgahn, is expected to step down later this year, though his resignation is contingent on the president find ago replacement and several other factors. i think it's all up in the air. i think he'd like to quit very much. he'll have many regrets when he quits. chief among them will be why didn't he quit sooner. joining us now ruth marcus and maria tracie macara. i want to go back to something donald trump said today when he was angrily signing the bill he thought about vetoing after he promised to sign. and he talked about how the democrats have forgotten, they don't care about the daca kids, which is his way of saying

witnesses, reince priebus, he asked him if the questions where is nice, talking to don mcgahn about the order he gave donout firing mueller. as a united states senator, as a lawyer, what do you think about the president doing that? >> well, as you know, i'm proud to say i am not the president's attorney. so i would not pretend to give him advice. >> junior senior from california is a hard job but that one is harder. >> well, i like my job and i don't envy those who have the other one. i'll say this. what we know is that we have an investigation in place, i serve on the senate intelligence committee. and also senate judiciary and ho land security. but as it relates to the investigation and the interviews, there should be no tampering whatsoever. and we already have a history of knowing that this president fired the person who was in charge of conducting an investigation. he already has a bad history on this issue. and so i am sure his attorney is advising him to step back and to stay away from discussions with witnesses. >> senator kamala harris of california, come back anytime. >> thank you. >> coming up

the president had with don mcgahn where he said he wanted him to issue a statement saying that he, the president, never told don mcgahn that he should fire robert mueller. and don mcgahn tells him, but you did tell me to fire robert mueller. it is laughable to a degree because it's so absurd, but is that saying something about the president's mental faculties? did he not remember or is it more of an issue that he's asking don mcgahn to lie publicly about something he's already told the truth about to the special counsel? >> it's two things, katy. first of all, it shows the president has a tendency to live in the present and can alter the past. it is a illegal to lie to the fbi. if he is encouraging witnesses in any context to change the story or to arrange a particular story that isn't true when it comes to the firing of the head of the fbi, that is a huge problem for the president going forward. it establishes that he was willing to do that kind of thing. >> does it show how carelessly he treats the truth? >> absolutely. it's been said it's like a goldfish. lives in the present, doesn't care about the past. that's all well and good in business, but gets you in
