really stretches credulity to believe that he never told his father or what it was about. >> donald trump junior responded more of the democrats fake news narrative disappearing before their eyes. i wonder how many more false leaks will pop up to keep their dreams alive. you've said in the past donald trump junior should be worried about his legal jeopardy and he's put himself in grave peril. do you still believe that? >> i do. we don't know all of his testimony, but i think he is somebody who could be in real legal jeopardy and i find it ironic this kind of distraction with that kind of tweet that he just issued. well, if everything is fine, why did your father write a false statement, a blatantly false statement about the purpose of the meeting? >> right. adoption was the claim which was obviously not true. >> yeah. if everything is fine, why would you do that? >> all right. i appreciate your time. thank you as always. >> migray -- my great pleasure. >>> howard shultz insists he will not be a spoiler in 2020, but my, my, my, he's on the hot seat. >> two words which a lot of people here probabl

they have speakers on beforehand so donald junior was on before the president and before that was ted cruz and another senator from texas. all of them did a little turn on how to fake news was here and how the media was unfairly treating america. no one used the term, enemy of the people, but we have heard that before of course from the president. when that happens, there's a lot of pointing from people, especially donald trump who will point at the media and say, look at those dumb guys over there. that is pretty standard and i had that through the election campaign as well pretty regularly. it is pretty pumped. the bbc has formally complained about the incident involving you and your crew, gary, has the relationship with the white house changed this week, would you say? no, it is worth saying, just for the record, that my cameraman is fine. he was a bit shaken up by it but he is a big, tough guy and he is a professional and he carried on filming. our colleagues in the american press get a lot of this, they get a lot of, people have been spat on. regular chanting at these rallies is

at the same time, cnn has learned the phone calls donald trump junior had a blocked phone number beforend after that controversial 2016 trump power meeting with russians were not with his father. how significant is that? does it tell us anything about whether the president actually knew about that meeting with the russians? >> that particular fact doesn't tell us i think anything. i think if there were people who jumped on the fact there were phone calls made before and after the meeting to a blocked number and immediately jumped to the conclusion that was president trump, i think they are probably licking their wounds. you have to be careful. we found when there's news that's not specific and it's not completely clear what the evidence shows, people should hold their powder a little bit. people should not now then move to some other kind of conclusion about what the absence of that fact now means. it doesn't mean at a minimum that donald trump and his son didn't have a conversation about the meeting. common sense still tells you that they likely did. we have to wait and see what the ev

trump and son donald junior are involved in the russia deal, is it possibleis compromised with a foreign adversary in the months before the election? >> yes. >> did that sound to you like house members are teeing up to call the kids in? >> they're certainly interested in the kids. i think they are a little bit concerned and worried about doing it knowing that it will cross that red line that donald trump long ago said involved his family. so as they look and see whether to begin calling the kids or do they start with some of the business associates of donald trump first, i think they work their way up to the kids. both donald trump jr., eric, and ivanka, ivanka being in the white house raises other issues of executive privilege. if they want to talk about the campaign period, executive privilege doesn't go that far. we know elijah cummings, the chairman of the committee, has told reporters he's interested in talking to everyone in the trump administration, there have been letters going back and forth on exactly that topic. some democrats yesterday were expres

eric, donald junior, potentially ivanka. >> the committee, do you think they're going to ask about that? >> it's not clear to me how much cohen will know about this. there's one donor he has an involvement with. they'll probably ask about him. he wasn't part of the campaign formally. he didn't go into the administration, so i think they probably will try to ask about it a little bit, but it's not exactly clear what cohen will know. >> that's a bit of a fishing expedition. we already know specifically about the hush money payments and false testimony. the inaugural, i would take a shot there and see what he knows and if he could give us any information about potentially information from foreign nationals. i think tomorrow will be targeted and sort of fact finding. >> good advice, don't grandstand, let him speak and craft your questions carefully, right? thank you both, i appreciate it. >>> we're only hours away from michael cohen's public testimony before the house oversight committee. we're going to ask a member of that committee what he expects to hear from cohen. what do you look for

why haven't we seen action taken against donald trump junior? if he signed a check that was a hush money payment whether it was to mcdougal or stormy daniels, why haven't we seen don junior touched? >> well, i think we're going to. it's hard for me to believe that the mueller investigation could ever wrap up without something with don junior. as far as we know, he hasn't even been interviewed. that would suggest he's a target of the investigation. and i would agree with donny. there's lots to come out of the southern district of new york. my hunch is they're wrapping up not just the charge on the federal campaign finance violations but other things as well. >> katie, you are the reporter on the campaign trail. you were at the other end of the phone, i'm guessing with michael cohen shouting you down, if not on a daily basis, probably on a weekly basis. how stunning is it for you to watch this right now? michael cohen walk into the room ready to testify against his number one man, donald trump, the president of the united states? give me a little

russian investigation a witchhunt and this is a re sport with reports that bunk the theory that donald trump junior advised him. adam schiff says he has not been able to confirm the report that site that committee. say republicans have not give them access to phone records. >> we will get to the bottom of this. why the cover-up? want more was going on here? i think they keep part of that is to find out what the role was of the president and does. >> conway says the trump administration tough stance with russia has nothing to do with the russian probe. >> i like to see how they spend that. maybe he is trying to show he is not worried about collusion. it is silly. you have to look at the backs. >> the treaty dates back to 1987 . it takes six months to go into effect. that leaves a narrow window to potentially save the deal. ktvu , fox 2 news. >>> a restaurant owner for -- apologized for banning hat that say allie . lopez says my goal was to be a restaurant where all staff is treated with respect and trust by making that statement, without consent, i failed at that goal. the controversy started when h

remember when every media outlet speculated donald trump junior called his father with a blocked phone number ahead of his meeting with the russians when they talked about immigration and adoption? according to reports, fake news, never happened. fake news cnn do you ever get tired of being wrong and embarrassing yourself? here with a lot of reaction. all right. enough fentanyl they got today to kill 54 million americans, geraldo. we are losing 300 people a week to opioid crisis. cartel, drugs, human trafficking, don't you think that is enough to build a wall and we will have a door? >> i think that nancy pelosi is being very spiteful and being unreasonable not to allow the president of the united states and his professionals to repair, replace and expand the over600 miles of border fencing we already have. having said that, the fentanyl came through a port of entry. hidden in a produce tractor trailer. a wall would not stop that. >> sean: dr. sebastian gorka, it's clear that the talk of dreamers and daca, it's all bs. they lied. they hate trump more than they care about the dreamers a

>> i did it to protect donald trump, donald trump junior, ivanka trump and eic trump. >> in your sentencing statement back in december in front of the judge, you said this, mr. cohen, my weakness can be characterized as a blind loyalty to donald trump. a blind loyalty that led me to choose a path of darkness, is that accurate, mr. cohen in. >> i wrote that. >> you wrote that and said that in front of the judge, is that right? >> that's correct. >> when you filed a false tax return in 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2016, was all of that out of blind loyalty to the president. >> no it was not. >> when you failed to report income to the internal revenue service, did you do that to protect donald trump? >> no, i did not. >> when you failed to pay $1.4 million in taxes to the u.s. treasury, was that out of some blind loyalty to the president of the united states? >> it was not. but the number was 1.38 and change. i have paid that money back to the irs. >> i think i the american people appreciate that 1.3. >> i also liked to say it was over the course of five years. approximately 260,000 a year. >>

donald trump junior spoke earlier. we also had senator ted cruz speaking as well. you see the banner there. the slogan finished the wall. it was hung from the venue where the president is about to speak. he has not made it out but he is expected to be before the the crowd shortly. to give you an idea of how leaders feel, they passed a resolution that addressed a number of concerned surrounding illegal immigration's as it relates to el paso. >>> the family of a man who was killed by vallejo police are questioning whether lethal force was necessary. henry lee tells us that police say the man had fallen asleep in his car in a drive-through at a taco bell. he had a loaded semi automatic handgun in his lap. >> a memorial of flowers and candles sits near the talk about drive-through in vallejo where 21-year-old willie mccoy was shot and killed by police on saturday night. >> willie was a good person. he didn't deserve that. >> it started when a taco bell employee called 911. saying a man was slumped over  in a mercedes in the drive- through. police say officers arrived

leverages going back to this, if allegations are in the findings of mueller is how does this impact donald juniorg to be somehow indicted or brought up on some form of criminal charges, conspiracy charges, that's matters to donald trump quite a bit. to am ramosa's point, you will see him, yeah, become unhinged but also see him begin to do something he's been unwilling to do to this point, bargain for a way out. >> guys good to take with you all. thank you. >> thanks. >>> the controversy and questions surrounding hollywood's biggest night, but in the end, who is going to win the most coveted hardware? i needed legal advice for my shop. that's when i remembered that my ex-ex- ex-boyfriend actually went to law school, so i called him. he didn't call me back! if your ex-ex- ex-boyfriend isn't a lawyer, call legalzoom and we'll connect you with an attorney. legalzoom. where life meets legal. a little anxious sometimes. these days we all feel so i'm partnering with cigna, to remind you that how you're doing emotionally affects you physically. go for your annual check-up and be open with your doctor abo

he opened an investigation we now know, not on fake news, not on mueller, not leaks, donald from junior get the dirt from russians on hillary, that he would love it. we are seeing what he did to -- >> there's nothing illegal about that. >> when manafort gives inside data to a russian spy. >> polling data? really? >> so the russians could know exactly who to target in michigan, wisconsin is pennsylvania, that is textbook collusion. shannon: hillary clinton did not visit the states or campaign there. >> what i'm surprised about is people are making a big deal about this. the new york times had a big story on this a few months ago. this is a rehash of old news. mccabe is trying to sell a book. cbs wants everyone to watch 60 minutes on sunday night was all this stuff about nine days in may between the time rosenstein wrote the memo for the president it was used initially as the explanation for firing comey until the 17th when rosenstein appointed mueller and all the things in between, the 25th amendment or wiring up against the president, we heard this already and i have no doubt they discu

he had checks with donald trump junior at signatures on them.e is pursuing a criminal investigation because the trump organization covered up these payments and committed financial fraud and cohen did not just testify about the, he brought documents to prove the cover-up. >> michael cohen testified that donald trump directed him to arrange the $130,000 hush money payment to stormy daniels in 2016. cohen was repaid in the effort to hide the purpose. >>> the dmv could run out of funding in the next three years. the dmv asked the state for tens of millions of dollars to keep the agency some of. government some denied that request and ordered the formation of a strike team task force to look how to reduce cost . >> my expectation of the strike team is they are going to find the problem that is wide and difficult as i have been expressing for quite some time. i think there is self-evident problems in the dmvthe says the state either needs to give the dmv more money or raise drivers license and car registration fees. >>> the senate will vote on a bill

trump junior was calling his father, potentially talking to donald trump the candidate about that trumpower meeting with all those russians. what do you make of this new reporting and what do you think about the importance of that incident now overall? >> well, the problem is that we are not in a position to be able to confirm the reporting because the republicans wouldn't let us get the phone records. it was such an obvious investigation step and one we will take very early on now that we are underway and that is find out who don junior was talking to about that meeting at trump tower. those conversations could have taken place over the phone or taken place by don junior walking down the hall to talk to dad, but it's key to understanding the president's involvement in all of this, and if we look at what we already know, we already know that the president and his son misled the country about meetings the campaign was having about russians. they denied they took place and then when they were confronted with meetings like the meeting in trump tower, they misled the country again about wha

donald trump junior tweeting today i'm wondering if someone harris still wants justice.smollett has flared up. his lawyers say he is devastated, angered, the demise again by the people who doubt his story. no work from a legal he will submit to more questioning. >> so interesting. mike tobin, thank you. leland: will see if he shows up for the next police interview. talk radio panel on how democratic residential candidate someone harris, were they to condemn president trump supporters. we'll take a look in the past couple of weeks. plus, the white house gears up for second with kim jong in vietnam. a look at the stakes. my that one of the most horrible areas on the border. see what is being done to protect our country. >> tech: at safelite autoglass we know that when you're spending time with the grandkids... ♪ music >> tech: ...every minute counts. and you don't have time for a cracked windshield. that's why at safelite, we'll show you exactly when we'll be there. with a replacement you can trust. all done sir. >> grandpa: looks great! >> tech: thanks for choosing safeli

he was also asked about rumors of abuse between donald trump junior and melania trump and was categoricalsaying not only didn't i see it i didn't think -- i don't think it would ever happen. >> because there was a rumor there may have been some elevator video of the president getting physical with his wife. >> and he said that would never happen. mr. trump would never do that. and to jeffrey's point, i think it was moments like that, where he still showed some loyalty, relationship with them that made his testimony overall more authentic. >> something the special counsel's office has said they appreciated from him as well. when he didn't know something, he said it and didn't overstep. they made a point to say, especially as it relates to topics they're interested in, that he was very clear to be clear, at least when he wasn't sure about something and appreciated that he wasn't just trying to fill in the gaps. >> by the way, who works with someone for ten years and still calls him mr. trump? i mean, you know, it's not like he's royalty or something. >> a lot of people who work with mr. tru

one of the other checks was signed by alan weisselberg, the cfo of the organization and donald trump junior. there's plenty of ground to continue this investigation, notably by asking weisselberg and donald trump jr. about this whole affair. but, and of course what's so significant about this check is that it's dated august, 2017, when donald trump was president. that's now out there in the world and the country's going to have to decide whether it cares or not, whether he should be prosecuted or not, and i think that's a very big deal. >> david gregory, your big takeaway from the seven hours. >> i think that cohen played into the partisan divide about trump. i think his statement that was so compelling was also incredibly personal. he really seemed intent on hurting president trump. you saw his own wounds in his life. and so he played into the partisanship. there were a lot of gratuitous attacks on the president that i think is a danger for democrats because i think it detracts from some the notable things he said about ongoing investigations. but i think there's no question that the earth

that was a meeting between donald trump junior, jared kushner, paul manafort, and a russian lawyer.ressman mike quickly is here. i appreciate you joining us. i know that you're very busy. so if the report from "the hill" is correct, is it correct that your committee is preparing to subpoena phone records linked to the june 2016 trump tower meeting? is that correct? >> i cannot comment on specific subpoenas that may or may not happen. i will tell you, it is the kind of communication that we're going to be interested in. i think what's fair and important for us to move forward is all communications between trump associates and the russian contacts. and that goes way beyond the phone records, all the other apps and social media platforms in which they were communicating. the fact that we couldn't do that in the last two years under republican control, where they tanked the investigation then shut it down, made the investigation nearly impossible and it made the questioning of people who appeared before us much more difficult. i guess you can compare it to a civil case or a criminal cas

donald trump junior got in on the action by posting this message on instagram. president. senator warren retaliated. we'll be back with that and what she had to say to president trump after this. she had to say to president trump after this like my bike and my calves. liberty mutual customizes your car insurance so you only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ take new dayquil severe with vicks vapocool.asty cold, (acapella) whoa!

already part of how the white house and allies are starting to try to discredit michael cohen as donald trump junior did last night. take a listen. >> you got a president trying to deal with a major world issue, and to try to distract or whatever it is by bringing in a convicted felon and known liar? i impleerngs it's pretty pathetic, but it shows you how much really the democrats hate trump. i mean, they hate trump more than they love america by a long shot. >> there are a couple of things he'll say that he heard donald trump say behind closed doors about black people. that people even his supporteresupporters will say yep, that's trump. >> reporter: the last bit from cohen adviser lanny davis speaks to how much cohen knows and how long he was close to this president. how much he could bring to bear, particularly in the open hearing nature lot of fire works over the next few days? >> i know you have your sneakers on for what's going to be a busy week on capitol hill. thank you for that breakdown. >>> we are getting our first statement from the white house today as we are all bracing for this marath

he called for donald trump junior also to once again testify. they have not spoken to some key witnesses like roger stone. there's a lot the committee has not covered that the mueller investigation has. they want to look at the report, if it is sent to congress, what else they have to look into. there is significant frustration that we have not seen play out publically after richard burr's comments because a bunch of the investigation has not happened because it has been two years, that key question has not been resolved, the amount of coordination, collusion, conspiracy that may have occurred between the trump campaign and russia, still a disagreement and more to investigate. >> senator burr expressed frustration with michael cohen who has delayed testifying on capitol hill on three separate occasions. tell our viewers what the senator said. >> three separate committees on capitol hill just this year who have wanted to talk to michael cohen after his guilty plea, after he pleaded guilty to lying to both the senate house intelligence committee a
