less than two months later the trip to poland is when we first learned about donald trump's junior trumpter that month, 2017 in france, donald trump junior's e-mails were made public revealing the real reason. this time last year before the big asia trip, robert mueller dropped charges on three former campaign officials. then during the president's trip to davos earlier this year the new york times broke news that president trump has threatened the fire mueller but backed off when the white house counsel threatened to quit. just this summer, the week of the president's huge helsinki summit, mueller indicted 12 russians for hacking the dnc. here we are this week, less than 24 hours after the michael cohen guilty plea, the president in argentina. stha thanks for being on this special split show. what is your reporting telling you about the shadow of the russia investigation looming over the president's trip. >> it's clearly reoccupying the president's time. he didn't get a lot of sleep. he tweeted about the witch hunt. you saw sarah sanders issuing that statement about the russian witch hu

donald trump know about it? he has said over and over again that he did not know that this took place. and donald trump juniorthe same, including essentially under oath to fwres. >> in an email exchange in which donald trump junior responded if it's what you say, i love it. the question has always been, did candidate donald trump know about that meeting before it happened? >> it's regard for me to believe that donald trump junior in that circumstance would not communicate with his father and say, dad, look what i got. >> so the mueller team appears to be looking at this in terms of attempted collusion. why did they agree to accept the meeting? what was the state of mind of the trump oh team. >> and they are looking through the lens of obstruction of justice why misleading things were satisfied. >> a if the president had a hand -- and it appears he did -- in drafting a false statement as to the true meaning of the trump tower meeting, then the special counsel is asking, is this obstruction of justice? >> not long after the trump tower sit-down, music publicist rob goldstone ended his working relationship with

, the russians in trump tower, that involve donald trumpjunior, when donald trump junior was expectedunior, when donald trumpjunior was expected to issue a statement responding to initial press reports about that meeting, that statements, we wrote that that statement was dictated by the president of the united states. the administration denied that. up and down, they deny that. later on when they had to respond to the special counsel, they issued a letter to the special counsel acknowledging that the president himself had dictated that statement. so we said that the president lied, it was clear that he knew that he had dictated, he had dictated the statement, he knew that he had dictated the statement, and yet he allowed his administration to declare to the entire world that he had not dictated the statement. that isa had not dictated the statement. that is a clear lie. what does that say to you? you call that a lie, and frankly a huge number of people in this country shrugged their shoulders. sure, and that is concerning and that is, we have a very polarised society and polarised con

indicated he had been briefing and keeping some of trump's family members up to speed. >> yeah. >> that had a real ominous ring to it because i had -- >> donald junior. >> -- a feeling donald junior, jared kushner, you know, who knows. >> and ivanka trump. apparently, ivanka trump recommended an architect for the trump tower moscow that was being pursued by michael cohen. she is very deep in this as well. there's no evidence yet that she's been brought in to be interviewed by the special counsel. i can't imagine that she won't be questioned about all this. donald trump junior has been telling associates he expects to be indicted by the special counsel over what he told congress about this deal. he said he was peripherally aware what was going on but may not be the whole story. >> have to wonder about motive here, everybody, just an open question about b motive, donald trump may have been pursuing business over there which we know is true. he was trying to make some money in moscow. he was developing good relations -- sort of a reproachmant with putin. was that meant to encourage his business chances or was, you know, if it's all about money, that ma

donald trump junior's testimony appears to contradict michael cohen's testimony. on junior testified this trump tower moscow deal ended in 2014 and did not continue into 2016. michael cohen has said that did continue well into 2016. not only did he keep the president apprised, he briefed the president's family members. the senate intelligence chair made a poipt of noting his committee has made referrals to the special prosecutor for what they believe to be false statements. unclear who that might refer to ultimately. i think that trump junior may have a serious false statement issue on his hands. if it does turn out his statements were incorrect there's the larger question of why was he lying and was he intended to cover up potentially something more nefarious. >> the white house says the mueller investigation undermines the u.s. relationship with russia right now. you think they have a point. >> i think there's probably a case to be made that putin looks at trump perhaps as damaged goods as a result of the impact of the mueller i venvestigation. it's weak case. >>

we are talking about roger stone, donald trump junior. we are talking about possibly about kushner and maybe donald trump. >> more to come here deal or no deal, what is behind the agreement that could leave asylum seekers stranded south of the u.s./mexico border. ive finae ive finae is now in session. and... adjourned. business loans for eligible card members up to fifty thousand dollars, decided in as little as 60 seconds. the powerful backing of american express. don't do business without it. this is moving day with the best in-home wifi experience and millions of wifi hotspots to help you stay connected. and this is moving day with reliable service appointments in a two-hour window so you're up and running in no time. show me decorating shows. this is staying connected with xfinity to make moving... simple. easy. awesome. stay connected while you move with the best wifi experience and two-hour appointment windows. click, call or visit a store today. >>> this morning the president tweeting this would be very smart if mexico would stop th

of course donald trump's family members are very much a part of the trump organization. donald trump junior was asked about this by the senate judiciary committee when he testified last year, and he said that he wasn't really involved, and he didn't really know that much about it. so if it turns out that donald trump junior was also not being totally forthcoming with the senate judiciary committee, then that could pose problems for him moving forward. there's just so much to unpack here. i think that the biggest takeaway from all of this is that it could contextualize all of donald trump's bizarre overtures to russian president vladimir putin during the 2016 election, all of his praise of vladimir putin that no one could really make sense of. it now seems like it was motivated or could have been motivated by something that donald trump has cared most about his entire adult life, which is money. real estate projects. that seems to have been like he didn't want to get on the president's, russian president's vladimir putin's bad side when he was campaigning for president. it's really telling t

we're seeing people are speaking aloud, in donald trump junior's case to people he knows. they expect to be indicted. donald trump junior indictment would be an earthquake, a huge earthquake, that would cross the lines of president trump as indicated he's not ready for. that's maybe what we saw in those tweets yesterday where he was pretty angry. he's been meeting with his lawyers for the last couple of days and dealing with these questions. i don't think he's happy having to go through and recount even the russia questions with respect to the hacking let alone he hasn't had to deal with the questions regarding obstruction of justice and a big subpoena fight that could come if he resists. >> it's unclear if it will be related or if it will fold into this investigation is kwhast happ -- what's happening with julian assange. it noticed you filed something at like 4:20 a.m. makes me wonder if you were up early or hadn't gone to bed yet. what happened with this filing? how did we find out about it and what does it mean? >> taking our new puppy to the bathroom. this was a busine

in the entire known universe that they were up to something as paul manafort trump junior and kirchner and maybe even donald trump and this pattern continues with a 22000 dnc e-mail that were released by wikileaks. and then they tried to intervene in the election donald trump junior and paul manafort go on in response to say clinton people are making it up out dare they bring the campaignup into the gutter to accuse them of interference and paul manafort goes on to say he has no connection at all. you don't pay that money to the russian oligarch and then thisis continues then donald trump says if you are listening those clinton ree-mails whatever you can do. so look at this from the kremlin perspective. that what might've been happening inside the kremlin. are we being too reckless. and the trump campaign is on your side. and then you have the trump campaign to say they are doing anything either. and so while trump is talking positively about putin he is interested and then so is briefed by the intelligence community. so what's going on in the world? that they did not want to share and then they did briefed

we saw packets of white powder sent to the home of donald trump junior and his children.i don't want that to happen to anyone especially someone who is elected who puts their life out there. i don't care what party my husband is a state senator in missouri that me or my children could be attacked for my husband's work? that is wrong in every way. i hope people both sides will stand up because it will come back around and they will have e the presidency i don't think this is something any of us want toe condone i don't think left-leaning politicians would do a better job. >> now to newto york. >>caller: i find it highly offensive you allow yourself to be presented as a psychologist or anything related to that. i am a real psychologist with a real phd suppose it graduate degrees. >> that's not true. >>. >> you present yourself. >>. >> is that the point you want to make quick. >> but the point i'm making is that she's not a real psychologist and people will take opinion that she is just a right winger who is presenting opinions. >> we got your point let's get a response from

into the home of donald trump junior and his children. my husband served as a state senator and to think that my family and my children could be attacked in a restaurant for myy husband's work was, that is wrong in every way. left-leaning publications could do a better job. >> host: clifton park new york you are'r on. >> caller: i find it highly offensive that you allowed yourself to be presented as a psychologist or even related. i am a psychologist with a real phd. suppose that degrees are from schools that are not even -- you are not a licensed psychologist or you, i am licensed in tuesday's. >> host: is that the point you wanted to make? >> guest: >> caller: she isn't a real psychologist and people are going to take her ignorance as a opinion just presenting opinions -- >> host: we got your point. let's get a response frome the author. >> guest: no i am not licensed, but i did my clinicals and all that. i refer to myself as a human behavior expert for those sorts of things. sometimes people call people psychologists because they know

questions about potential russian collusion,including what he knew at the time about his son donald trump junior's meeting with russians at trump tower, and whether he knew anything about russian hacks when saying this about hillary clinton's emails on july 27th, 2016.president trump:"russia. if you're listening i hope you're able to find the 30- thousand emails that are missing." (ken) president trump is granting new authority to u-s troops on the u.s. - mexico border. the decision comes as a large group of migrants is arriving at the region. the white house issuing new and specific guidelines for how u.s. troops can assist customs and border patrol agents. these new guidelines - in the form of a memo approved by the president - allow troops to use, quote, "a show or use of force... including lethal force, where necessary" and allow troops to conduct activities such as, quote,"crowd control, temporary detention and cursory search" earlier this week, dhs secretary kirstjen nielsen laid out the strategy - and rationale - for the military presence -

in donald trump junior's own words, i love it! forget what came out at the meeting the most significant thing that happened was the trump campaign send a signal to the russians, we are all in here. whatever you want to do to help us, we won't say boo to that, we won't go to the fbi and rat you out or tell the public about plans to intervene in the election. it is a sign of a send. it is not even silence, not even a nod. it is a we are with you here. let's see if we can work together. coincidentally, 5 days later, a dnc hack became public and the first response from the trump campaign to news of the russians hacking the dnc was this is a dnc houck. there making this up because they have such about the candidate. we can argue the three people in the entire known universe who were best able to say the russians are up to something were paul manafort, trump junior and jared kushner and even donald trump who conceivably was told of the meeting and this pattern continues at the democratic convention with the 22,000 emails that were hacked

the president has said once or twice there was no collusion, we do know that on june 9, 2016, donald trump junior met with those russians at trump tower, including a lawyer with ties to the kremlin, who he apparently believed would have damaging information on hillary clinton. after reports of that meeting started surfacing july 2017, don junior issued an initial statement saying it was all about russian adoption, a statement his father reportedly signed off on. after a barrage of questions about the meeting, trump came to the defense of his eldest son. >> my son is a wonderful young man. he took a meeting with a russian lawyer, not a government lawyer but a russian lawyer. it was a short meeting. it was a meeting that went very, very quickly, very fast. >> just days after that we would learn the statement about adoption had actually been dictated by his father, the president, and it was a cover story. this summer a full year later, we learned from trump himself that the meeting was all about getting dirt on clinton. to quote the president, this was a meeting to get information on an opponent, to

my friends on the right, whenever something happens with donald trump junior or eric trump or ivanka,say, my god, they're just children. let them be. now they have security cleara e clearances. they are high ranking officials. they are in violation of the law. to say ivanka doesn't know or is ignorant of policy, the perfect exmrample of hillary clinton. her father was chanting lock her up. her father ran a campaign -- you could use #butheremail. to say she's not aware is dishonest. >> i didn't say that. i didn't say she was blameless. i think what she did was wrong. what she did was really not -- sort ofinexcusable. i don't think it rises to the level of hillary clinton. what ivanka did, i'm disappointed that she did it. i'm sure she feels very bad about having done that. it was careless. it was not a good thing to do. it doesn't rise to the level of what mrs. clinton did. >> the problem is, none of it -- >> should there be an investigation? >> do you think there should be an investigation or no? >> unless there's some evidence here that she was dealing with a lot of information as mr

cohen said he agreed trump family members but none of the president's children are identified, donald trump junior said he was, quote, peripherally aware of the deal. >> time for tonight's power panel, the chief of the judiciary committee and former chief us attorney andrew mccarthy and chairman of the american conservative union, there is a buffet to discuss. let me start with the last soundbite where he said you are going to use this guide to go after other people but you admitted that he is a liar and that is what the president called him today. >> no prosecutor would think a witness that flip that their testimony, you corroborate that with email and information which they did in this case. there is nothing in the cohen plea that suggests the president did anything illegal. the people are raising the question why a time when russians were engaged in illegal efforts to interfere with the election by hacking computers, making illegal campaign ads on facebook and elsewhere, spending millions doing it, why were there so many channels of communication between rush -- trump and the russians and so ma

rob: we see the picture with mueller and donald trump junior. >> take a look at this right here.itical rivals ted cruz and beto o'rourke ran into each other at the airport, former political rivals. a witness said o'rourke walked up to 2 °, shook his hand, congratulated him on his victory, the first time the two have seen each other since the midterm elections. cynthia on twitter writing we need civility, working together, thank you for this. a lot of folks talking about this picture on social media. jillian: she will be forever tied -- >> waking up going something going on in my head, and the oxford dictionary says there was a 45% increase in searches and they mentioned it was used in a variety of different ways, toxic masculinity throughout the me too movements. they cite certain toxic decisions. some people believe political leaders are making right now. tom on twitter says this, the word of the year should be winning. let's see if we have another twitter user who says all i have to say is congratulations at britney spears. a lot of people will be playing her song thanks to the

as we know, eric trump, donald trump junior continue to have senior roles in the trump organization evenident hasn't fully divested from trump organization. to your other question about what the atmosphere is like down here, a lot of pandering. we can think back to the last couple of major multi-national organization summits abroad, they've always had the split screen dynamic where the president is coming to do this up with stop diplomatic shopping and yet the russia investigation continues. in many ways this is nothing new. surprising although not entirely shocking. >> thank you guys. >>> next up, reaction to cohen's plea deal on capitol hill and its potential impact on russia investigations over there. to most, he's phil mickelson, pro golfer. to me, he's, well, dad. so when his joint pain from psoriatic arthritis got really bad, it scared me. and what could that pain mean? joint pain could mean joint damage. enbrel helps relieve joint pain, helps stop irreversible joint damage and helps skin get clearer. enbrel may lower your ability to fight infections. serious sometimes fatal events

we also know there's been questions about whether or not donald trump junior will get indicted.ng his friends and associates in recent weeks he does expect to get indicted as early as this month. finally, there's the question of roger stone and whether he is going to be indicted any time soon. he has been in robert mueller's cross hairs. all of his friends and associates have been questioned by mueller before the grand jury. we're seeing this kind of back and forth play out in the press between roger stone. there was a report about how mueller is looking into where robert stone was intimidating witnesses. rogerretaliated that he was one channel to julian assange. this all seems to be coming to a head and i think trump is that. >> there is a lot there. i want to pick up on what you said about matt whitaker, because he was actually just this afternoon meeting with lindsey graham in his office on capitol hill, amid questions of whether or not they are going to try to pass some sort of legislation to protect bob mueller. here's what lindsey graham had to say after that meeting. >> w

according to "vanity fair," donald trump junior has been telling friends that he's worried about beingndicted by special counsel robert mueller. said don junior's friends, "i'd say, we're more like acquaintances."

people were in the same place at more or less the same time and certainly manafort, kushner, and donald trump junior were at a trump tower meeting in which kompromat was discussed. >> frank, pick up on all of this. i'm going to give you a two-parter here. mike flynn is someone we don't talk about enough but know he was in contact with ambassador kislyak. at least on that day of the inauguration that's been widely reported. he lied about those contacts and he could also, perhaps, i assume, be providing some context or some information. i want to read you mueller's questions about some of these topics and some of these characters. this is as reported by "the new york times," these are questions that were shared with trump's lawyers. mueller wants to know what knowledge the president had of any outreach by his campaign including by paul manafort to russia about potential assistance to the campaign. mueller also wants to know what the president knew about communications between roger stone, his associates, julian assange, and wikileaks." >> yeah, so mueller is focused like a laser on just what we've bee

roger stone, donald trump junior.these individuals who were taken at their word and no follow up was done, we'll do the follow up. that's because we're going to be redundant but we'll fill in the blanks. >> what about nancy pelosi? a lot of members who say it's time for new leadership. where do you stand on that? >> i'm behind her. i'm excited we have 25 candidates in their 40s or under who won. you'll see the youngest democratic caucus ever. that will bring burst of energy. >> i want to give you chance to clarify something. to that exact point when we talk about nancy pelosi and leadership and electing new young people. it's not about ageist or some members of leadership had been there too long but to bring new member who is are younger it's about fresh ideas versus a status quo. >> that's right. i think we need more fresh faces at the table. i'm the youngest member of the leadership team but i would like to see more younger members emerge and have leadership roles. i think that opportunity, especially in the majorit

. >> well, that same month, whittaker also commented on donald trump junior's meeting with a russian lawyer. who offered dirt on hillary clinton. >> i mean, you would always take that meeting. we have no information right now that would suggest that he knew who this individual was that he was meeting with. or who the three were going to meet with. they just knew they must have been sold the fact that there was some really good information that they needed to hear and having been in campaigns, i know what that pitch looks like and you would always have somebody from the campaign take that meeting and hear that person out. >> whittaker made his feelings about the russia probe crystal clear in an opinion piece for cnn back in august of 2017. the headline, "mueller's investigation of trump is going too far." joining us now is cnn crime and justice reporter, shimon prokupecz who joins us right here. can you just walk us through what we know happened here, and what the implications are for the mueller investigation? >> right. so, really, the implications are tremendous for the mueller inve

donald trump junior went into that kentucky sixth seat where barr just pulled it out. i think the republicans are feeling pretty good about their investment of time. >> i think it's early on the house side to draw too many conclusions. there are a lot of races in the east in virginia that are up for grabs right now. i think the house picture is unclear. i think some of the early senate results are disappointing for democrats. although, i don't think there was a realist expectation that democrats were going to take the senate. >> even some of the gubernatorial, florida, rick scott is in the lead in senate with 5 5,000 votes and gillum has been -- it's been -- >> florida is a disappointment. >> yeah. because it's so tight. and because they thought the top of the ticket would help down ticket. look, there was a dream tonight for democrats which was that early on they'd be able to say okay, we won a couple in virginia. we won in kentucky and this is going to show that this wave is starting and you can't stop it. now, they can still win the house. i think it's probably more

shares -- that is a critic of mueller and the probe, someone who shares the president and donald trump junior'she trump tower meeting was no big deal, that anyone would have done it, when, in fact, no campaign would have met with a foreign adversary to receive dirt on their opponent. what does that say to you about what kind of sort of spying runs through the justice department right now when it comes to the mueller probe? >> you know, the president has repeatedly attacked the justice department and the fbi's being incompetent. unless he can use them to his own end as he did with the kavanaugh investigation. and so a lot of my former colleagues there say that it's demoralizing and they're just hanging in there because they are trying to uphold the rule of law. and so we have an attorney general now who has expressed opinions about things which he could have no idea, including that the russian investigation is a witch hunt. so there's no way that he could objectively supervise this investigation, and, you know, we could get into the weeds with whether his appointment is constitutional based on t

it's like saying the election is compromised by an attack of sasquatches or donald trump junior is a brilliant neurosurgeon. none of these things are true. it is just made up. it is a -- it is a lie, but it's repeated, it's repeated at a loud volume, at a significant velocity over and over again through the propaganda industry, that he commands and he controls and so we have this reality distortion where millions of people in this country have been lied to over and over and over again for years about a problem that, in fact, does not exist. >> jason johnson, how does it manifest itself on the ground in real races? where these messages can have an impact? i know stacey abrams, you're in georgia, stacey abrams had to fend off false attacks, unsubstantiated attacks from her opponent down there. >> yeah, it's amazing. so we behave been talking about this for months now. basically it's bad enough you have a secretary of state, brian kemp, who's running for governor. that's essentially like tom brady putting on a ref uniform and then sayings hey, pass interference, right? you're not suppos

say the president told mueller he was not told beforehand about the trump tower meeting with donald trump juniorg dirt on county county. the sources also say mr. trump wrote his former campaign adviser, roger stone, did not tell him in advance that wikileaks planned to release e-mails about the clinton campaign. >>> meanwhile president trump fueling speculation that he could pardon paul manafort. telling the new york post, quote, it was never discussed, but i wouldn't take it off the table. >>> stunning allegations this morning from adult film star stormy daniels about her lawyer michael avenatti. daniels said avenatti sued trump for defaming her against her wishes and said he launched a new crowd funding campaign without her permission. daniels said she has not decided what to do about her legal representation going forward. avenatti said he is stormy's biggest champion. i have personally sacrificed an enormous amount of money supporting her because i believe in her. >>> fears of mud slides, debris flows and flooding in california. the threat is especially great in areas where wildfires have st

i find it very hard to see donald trump allowing don junior to go through a process that potentially could lead him to go to jail. >> one important piece of context as we have this don junior conversation is since the inception of the mueller probe it has caused extraordinarily high levels of anxiety in the white house. people have been worried from jump street that there was going to be a blitz of indictments and they were all going to prison. that hasn't yet happened. doesn't mean it's not going to happen, but the fact this paranoia exists and is so acute doesn't necessarily indicate anything significant about what mueller is actually working on. >> doris kearns goodwin, thanks for staying up so late london time to be with us. second of all, i'd love to get your perspective on this conversation. is there a historical precedent to speak of for what we're seeing potentially about to unfold here with mueller? >> what i think is happening right now is the combination of the mueller probe being back in the news and the lack of oxygen for president trump not having his rallies and the lo

donald trump jr. what was don junior before, and what is he now? >> before his father ran for president, he was sort of kind of a mini me for his father. he was doing all the things that his father did, but for a much smaller audience, and sort of at a much lower level. so, don, one great example his father announced one of his engagements, engagement for the second marriage on national tv to regis and kathie lee. his father's ascension to politics has given him a new opening, a new chance to become a political hero for some. he's still in his father's shadow, but the shadow is a lot bigger and it's given him a lot more room to roam. we looked at all the things he said he was going to be while his father was in office. a businessman, a conservationist. a uniter for the country. and found he really hasn't done many of them. what he's done is returned to the role as his father's mini me and that occupied him greatly on the campaign trail. >> everyone knows the broad confines of the trump tower meeting by now. i've heard it said any meeting where you

it is in the building where president trump, then regular man donald trump lived, where don junior, ivanka, eric grew up, where they went and played with legos on his office floor and later went to work. it is very difficult to think that michael cohen, who worked there for a dozen years, did not know what was going on with the children, with his adult children, based on just the proximity and how small that office is. what is even more difficult to buy is that don junior, ivanka and eric did not know what michael cohen was up to. >> on that note, we will take a break, with our thanks to our guests for a fascinating conversation on a busier than average thursday night. jeremy bash to frank figliuzzi to mia wiley to emily jane fox. and coming up for us, every time this president has called this investigation a witch-hunt means it's probably a good time to start to tally up the witches. >>> and later, as the washington post tells it, the trump family business has wanted to plant their flag in russia for three decades now. more on the money angle of today's big story as the thursday edition o

i believe if donald trump hadn't done that massive rally in texas last week, and hadn't been there and donald trump juniorthe president hadn't done those rallies in some of these key areas, i don't know if ted cruz would have one. the party is coming home to trump. the party is unified. that doesn't mean they agree with everything he tweets or they like every position on immigration. i'm not saying that. i think most of the party realize if they are not aligned behind the basic principles of this conservative populist approach with trump, not his tone necessarily, but his policies, you're not going anywhere. by contrast, the democrats are going home tomorrow --dash i think in 2020 that will be a tough sell. >> i don't think that's fair to say about the democrats. that's complete mischaracterization. >> okay, go ahead. >> laura, if you look at the democrats who are winning across, abigail's bamberger, jennifer braxton,. >> their liberal. >> it's not because they went far left, it's because they have women with intelligence or military credentials and there's this character out there, let's wait and see wha

donald trump. donald trump was here one week ago with her on the campaign trail. don junioras here just two days ago. by contrast, you have democrat kyrsten sinema, who has over the last six years in congress kind of positioned herself as a blue dog democrat. she's been on the airways here in the state since the spring marketing herself as that western independent, sort of the maverick, trying to take that mantle from john mccain. so the question is where do republicans in this state fall? this is the state of barry goldwater, of john mccain, and now suddenly the democrat in this race is positioning herself as the future of this state. we were just over outside of actually at a tailgate over at the arizona state football game here earlier this afternoon. it was quite remarkable to be frank. talking with the number of republican independent voters that we did, that said they are going to go vote for kyrsten sinema because they're frustrated with the leadership of not only donald trump, but also republican members of congress. they said martha mcsally is emblematic of that, es

donald trump jr. worked independently on the project. they were aware of cohen's efforts. cnn reached out to don junior a comment and the attorney for ivanka trump refused to speak on the record. >>> president trump immediately on offense reacting to news of cohen's plea. his go-to attack of his former trusted attorney is weak and a liar. trying to save his own skin. >> he's a weak person and by being weak, unlike other people you watch, he is a weak person and what he's trying to do is get a reduced sentence. he is lying about a project that everybody knew about it. we were very open with it. he's a weak person and not a very smart person. >> quick fact check. everybody did not know about the trump tower moscow project. the proposal came to light long after it was canceled and after president trump took office. leaving the white house for argentina yesterday, the president expanded on the view of cohen's motives and made the remarkable claim he could do anything he wanted before taking office. >> it's very simple. he's got himself a big prison sentence and he's trying to get a lesser prison sentence b

president trump and his son donald junior have campaigned for his opponent brian morrissey. >>> let's look outside over san francisco. it's perfect like a picture postcard. >> there were no excuses here in the bay area to get out and vote today. there is a red flag warning though. >> we have a beautiful weather outside, but those winds are going to be whipping here. those red flag warnings are going to go up tomorrow in the afternoon and continue through friday morning. you can see the areas shaded in red, those will be they areas in the north and east bay that will have dusting winds near napa. watch them closely, the last rain we had was in early october. let's look at some of those winds. it's not bad right now. about seven miles per hour around the bay area. but put this into motion, you can see all of the yellows and fuchsia beginning to show up. down below, you can see at napa, 70 miles per hour, and 30 in sonoma. this will be 7:30 am on thursday morning. you can imagine the peaks over the tops of these mountains, and the wins will be even more gusty. they could even reach 50 mi

think both of them have to be true, both of them have to be bad for don junior to produce some kind of indictment. >> donald trump, jr., has cultivated an image out on the road and across this country. he is proudly a part of the hunting community, including but not limited to majestic animals on other continents. he has drawn big applause in front of kind of like-minded audiences. there is a killer quote in here that you have as a pull-out quote. i've never been in a meeting where somebody said, let's check with trump junior before we make a move, said a white house official who declined to be named to comment on internal discussions. that's telling. >> that's right. so ivanka, his sister, who had always been the golden child in the business days before trump ran for office, she obviously is a really important role and her husband jared kushner has an important role in the white house. eric trump has taken the lead in running the business. start a 30-day trial today and your first audiobook is free. cancel anytime and your books are yours to keep forever. audible. the most inspiring minds. the most compelling st
