do you agree with eisen? is this the beginning of the end for the president? how to frame it in terms of the beginning of the end, but no doubt paul manafort has information of value, because robert mueller gave him something in exchange for that information. there is an old phrase that prosecutors use like don't buy a pi pig in a poke, don't buy livestock without examining it first. the same is true for a proffer. you get that proffer first to make sure it has value before you give them a break. no doubt paul manafort has told him at least the topics he can talk about and prosecutors don't typically give things away unless they're looking up the chain of investigation. so i agree that it's likely he has information on people higher in the organization, perhaps donald trump jr., perhaps jared kushner, roger stone, maybe the president himself, but no doubt he has information that manafort's information has value. >> has it occurred to you the breadth of what manafort has agreed to do? we heard one of the prosecutors telling the judge that manafort will cooperat

i am carl quintanilla with sara eisen at post 9 of the new york stock exchange jon fortt is in san josee, a big story. the storm is the lead. >> hurricane florence making landfall this morning moving inward as the carolinas brace for storm surge. let's bring in kaitlin mcgrath for an update. >> it is a category one storm, sustained winds down to 80 miles per hour you can see on radar imagery, we lost the well defined eye. it is clouded with rain. throughout the morning, we have not seen much movement over the past few hours since landfall, florence is crawling at 3 miles per hour but still bringing heavy convective bands, hurricane force winds to much of north carolina and approaching south carolina through the day today it will likely encounter more warm water the next few hours. it should maintain the category one strength as we head through the day today. then we'll see gradual weakening as it gets into south carolina, tomorrow downgrading to a tropical storm, which is good news for wind speed, with you but we're talking tropical downpours through the weekend. into portions of tennes

on the other side, norm eisen from brookings wrote that anonymous, he said i believe the author is doing the ethical thing, resisting trump from within and writing about it openly. he called anonymous an american hero. in your opinion is anonymous a hero, is he or she a coward? >> i think anonymous is a hero. i think norm is correct. nikki haley is a normal public leader. she's applying a metric that doesn't apply here. donald trump is not normal, he's not up to the duties that he's assumed, and i think this writer is doing what he or she can do to alert us to the reality at 1600 pennsylvania avenue. >> all right. gentlemen, we appreciate you taking time for us today. thank you. >>> president trump's former fixer says he wants his money back. michael cohen says he wants to tear up the nondisclosure agreement he reached with stormy daniels, in the months before the 2016 election. revoking the agreement would require daniels to payback the $130,000 she received to stay silent about an alleged affair with then candidate donald trump. joining me to talk about this, legal analyst, former fede

joining us is norm eisen, former special assistant on ethics.he is also author of a wonderful new book entitled " e "last palace." norm, let me start with you. we'll get to the book in a moment, but i want to get your thoughts on now the president is suggesting questions of obstruction of justice, perjury. that won't be on the table if robert mueller does want to question him on those issues maybe in a direct interview or everybody written form. >> well, i've been on the record for months in the "new york times" the president is never going to answer questions about obstruction of justice. there is overwhelmingly substantial evidence of a violation there. and he is trapped between on the one hand telling the truth and stumbling in, helping build the obstruction case. or lying and establishing perjury. having worked with and against bob, you can see the walls closing in on the president from all directions. but he would only make his situation worse. john dowd was right to walk out when the president wanted to testify. and we're in a sad situatio
