-in-law, michael cohecohe father-in-law.is adviser says cohen fears that the president's supporters here or abroad might be motivated to harm cohen. could that -- what the president is tweeting, the other statements, be seen potentially as witness tampering? >> we don't know whether or not it would meet the legal definition. there's questions about whether the public statements the president is making could qualify for that. we plainly know what the purpose of this -- there's only one reason for the president to be tweeting essentially what is a threat directed at an american citizen. this is a form of retaliation. this is intended to make an example out of michael cohen. to punish him for having testified in the past. >> it's not the first time he brought up the issue of michael cohen's father-in-law. >> it isn't. on the flip side, when somebody did not work -- cooperate with prosecutors, he sent out very kind words. that was to mr. manafort. the president is playing on both sides. he is clearly directing threats at those h

he wants people to know what michael cohen's father-in-law may have done, wink, wink, nod, nod. intimidation. the thing to keep in mind is, it worked. it worked. michael cohen does -- says he doesn't want to testify because of that intimidation. that's what's so remarkable about this. >> dana, you know congress will -- they can still go ahead, the leadership, and subpoena michael cohen and force him to come back. >> they can. our reporting from our hill team is they might. the question though -- maybe jeffrey can answer this or others who are familiar with the legal underpinnings of this. my experience on capitol hill is that if a witness is subpoenaed to come and testify, they can use their -- invoke their fifth amendment right. i don't know we would get to that point with somebody like michael cohen. but if he is that nervous, either legally or whatever else he thinks is a threat to his father-in-law and his family, maybe he won't want to do it. >> just to answer dana's question, witnesses can take the fifth. cohen may not be able to take the fifth, because he has already been

i asked him about some of these comments that the president had made aboutic moo michael cohen' father-in-lawel cohen himself ahead of the testimony and cummings had strong words just a few days ago telling me that the president should not be intimidating any witness coming before congress suggesting that this essentially is against the law. you can't do that to witnesses who are providing this kind of testimony and over the weekend we heard rudy giuliani reference michael cohen's father-in-law, make accusations that there could be ties to organized crime, all of that really unnerved democrats here on capitol hill worried that they would not be able to speak with michael cohen and brianna, republicans on the same house oversight committee had met with michael cohen's attorney lanny davis, and they said according to their meeting that michael cohen didn't really want to testify. they said it was davis who was pushing for michael cohen to come forward and they said that they were told that cohen would not be able to testify about a range of topics under investigation by the southern district of

father-in-law. intimating that perhaps michael cohen was doing this to save his father-in-law. the president today reacting to the news by michael cohen. >> i would say he's been threatened by the truth. he's only been threatened by the truth. and he doesn't want to tell the truth. >> there are many people who feel that what the president call pain that he undertook and the latest kmenlts from sunday, they were successful here in what they tried to do here. but it could be that they may still hear from michael cohen. as you said, he will likely be subpoenaed and. we'll see what happens from there. >> he knows so much about the father-in-law. paul manafort that i i mentioned in the open here. disputing mueller's accusations that he lied. . what's he saying? >> they are saying what you'd expect him to say. he's confused. the lawyers at the special counsel's office. he wasn't certain about things they were asking, but he was not lying. the special counsel when they file d their motion they had 18 pieces of evidence. documents they submitted to detail just how paul manafort was lyin

cohen's father—in—law, family and michaelts continues, he is not going to appear before the congressional committees, however they may different plans and there are suggestions that potentially they could subpoena him although at this stage, they are considering exactly what has been said. it is very different from an exchange of letters. we a re very different from an exchange of letters. we are already talking about an exchange of threats of insults at this case. also making news today: last words from the plane of argentine footballer emiliano sala — lost without trace flying from france tojoin his new club in britain. guernsey police have said an intensive night— our search found no trace of the craft. rescuers said there was nogii of there was no hope of finding the 20 82 old argentine alive. more coming up 82 old argentine alive. more coming up in sport today in 30 minutes' time. the eu commission has told eu states to tighten checks on non—eu nationals who acquire citizenship through investments. malta, cyprus and bulg

i don't know if you are here, but i have father michael here who has been here for me. he was here for me and i knew him before he knew them after my friend from my college -- my friend from college passed away. he did their funeral, and he did my wedding and now he is here for me today. thank you. my husband, if you think it is difficult being the candidate running for candidate, try being the spouse of the candidate, especially when they i called him mr stefani all the time.

cohen's father. michael's father-in-law.should be viewed by the doj as if he were in organized crime. i'm trying to be charitable in characteringizing what the president said. >> neil: i wouldn't characterize it the way you did. >> he's accused the president's lawyers, off the rails lately. and we also know major guliani of threatening him. i don't know of what he says those threats consist. >> neil: why would that affect your testimony before a congressional committee? >> i guess he wants to convey the impression, whether real or not, that he's fearful for his own safety or the safety of members of his family. >> neil: would this change any potential sentencing for him? >> it won't think it would. >> maybe ignite sympathy for him? >> you just ran a clip from elijah cummings who is very determined and has the votes to do this but what he doesn't have is time. the bureau of prisons going to delay his reporting date to give congress time to subpoena him? absolutely not. i don't know what that -- i don't remember what the repor

father-in-law. i don't know if it was meant that way, shep. >> shepard: john, thanks. background on what michael cohen's attorney is saying about postponing his testimony and the alleged threats to cohen's family. rick leventhal is here with details. it seems to be about that matter regarding his father. >> we don't know what these threats are that michael cohen is talking about. as i dodd in these situations, shep, when there's a story about michael cohen, i called michael cohen. went straight to voice mail. so i don't have any information from michael cohen about what he's so concerned about, what the threats against him may or may not be. he did say that -- his attorney said that cohen has to put his family and safety first. so what are the threats? we just don't know what the threats are. the statement said as recently as this weekend, the president and his attorney, rudy guliani, made threats that cohen was concerned about. this weekend, rudy guliani was on jake tapper's show on cnn. the two of them went at it for a bit. i'll let you hear what he said on jake tapper's show. >> he should giv

where they were talking about a wall street journal story about potentially his father in law and he says quote that michaelen was lying to reduce his jail time and the president says watch father in law. it isn't the first time that the president has done this. we know that michael cohen has all along been very protective of his family, has been worried his family could be in some kind of jeopardy here. it seems that after sunday when giuliani appeared on the show that his concerns were only heightened by some of what he was hearing. >> you know, it is an interesting point that if actually his father in law does have ties to organized crime as giuliani eluded to it would be a dangerous thing for michael cohen if giuliani were to bring that up. organized crime figures would not be happy about that. they have been talking about what a liar it is. what do they have to say? >> there argument here is that paul manafort was simply confused and didn't recall certain things when he met with special councilsel's office. they write it merely demonstrates lack of consistency in his recollection of certain facts and e

michael cohen's father-in-law was charged with defrauding the irs. what's that got to do with anything? nothing that we know of anyway. it's one of the reasons why michael cohen's legal team is making the case of the talk from the father-in-law of the president is designed to intimidate michael cohen who is scheduled to testify before congress. you asked more broadly about the white house's response to all this. >> this is just another in a long line of ridiculous charges without any corroboration. >> the president did not tell michael cohen to do that? >> this is why the president refuses to give any credence or credibility to news outlets because they have no ability to corroborate anything they're putting out there. they're using innuendo -- >> that was not a denial of my question. >> but the premise is ridiculous. >> so here's the thing. the buzzfeed reporting makes clear that the special counsel team is relying on more than just cohen's word. according to the reporting, the special counsel team had this corroborating evidence first and then prese

. >> michael gandolfini is following in his father's footsteps. has been cast as a young tony soprano in "the many saints of newark," the prequel film to "the sopranos." >> michael's father, the late james gandolfini, won the golden globe and three emmys for his portrayal of tony. "the many saints of newark" will take place in the 1960s telling the story of tony's father and his crew. that's pretty cool. >> i'm in. i will be watching. >> he looks just like his dad. pretty cool. >> a few pounds lighter maybe. >> yeah, well, okay, fair enough. >>> next some expensive tissues for sale, for sale this cold and flu season. they cost $80 a box, gross. >> not sure about all this. they supposedly come preinfected with germs, and here's why. a start-up company is selling these vaev tissues. they claim that the tissues are engineered to give you a cold virus that will allow you to get sick on your own terms when you want and then protect you during the rest of the season. >> so i mean if there's a week you don't want to go to work, buy these tissues, 80 buck

it's been reported by bloomberg that michael cohen's father-in-law actually purchased three condos fromp at the world trump tower. that's the property near the u.n. is donald trump treading on thin ice here when he's implicating michael cohen's father-in-law when his father-in-law actually purchased three condos from donald trump and for what purpose would that be for? >> yes, both obstruction of justice and witness tampering under federal law are heavily dependent on the words used and the intent behind them. it is common in criminal defense for lawyers to stand up in court and tell the media that this witness, this cooperator is a liar, he's a criminal, he's doing this just to save his on skin, he's not doing this out of the goodness of his heart. in that context, that is a perfectly acceptable way to criticize a cooperating witness. but when the president speaks, the context is totally different because he is the d.o.j., he is the executive branch. so that when president trump calls michael cohen a liar or that he has to fear threats about telling the truth, that may take on a differ

he said watch his father in law and that's -- you know, something that he is is doing that's referring to this idea that michael cohen's father in law could be perhaps prosecuted for any criminal activity in new york. so we don't know obviously what exactly could happen from this, whether the prosecutors or the justice department could pursue what they are saying. the president responded in this way. >> he has been threatened by the truth. he doesn't want to do it for me or you other of his clients. >> whatever you make of what the president's kpents and giuliani's comments it appears to have worked. cohen will not be testifying. it was going to be a huge day and something that was going to dominate the air waves and lord know wlhat he would have said during this. >> could the remarks be considered potentially obstruction of justice? >> i think democrats in congress view it that way. they would have to refer it to the justice department and, you know, i don't think anybody believes the justice department would go after the president for these comments. it is clear that during the time cohen was discussing a ple

judge jan e jeanine pirro's show, on twitter, repeatedly calling for an investigation into michael cohen's father-in-law ahead of michael cohen's testimony before congress. by your own definition, isn't that obstruction -- >> no, it's defending yourself. >> or attempt to intimidate a witness? >> no, if you made that obstruction, i can't defend anybody. >> congressman, what's your response? do you agree with rudy giuliani? >> i have no idea what rudy giuliani is talking about. you can't go ahead and threaten witnesses because that's actually a felony. and just because a president doesn't so publicly, doesn't mean it's not a crime and that's why we need do an investigation. i know that lanny davis who is michael cohen's attorney clearly says that michael cohen feels like he's being threatened and with have to look at this as issue to investigate. >> do you see the president's comments as obstruction, witness tampering or threatening a witness? is. >> that's how i read it but one of the issues is intent. what did the president intend to do? we have to get witnesses to come in and testify about what

administration, the president himself to sort of shift the public's attention onto other areas michael cohen's father-in-law, to be honest, i don't really understand what that means, but it's also understood that in the raid of michael cohen's offices that the fbi and now the special counsel had obtained quite a bit of evidence. e-mails, text messages. i mean, just in the reporting we did earlier or last year in the spring about trump tower moscow, i mean, we obtained the -- every text message that michael cohen exchanged with felix about this project, and in those text messages he is discussing briefing trump about this. so i think that the -- the denials by the president himself are leave more sto be desired b simply a tweet. >> jason leopold, i appreciate you coming onto talk about the major scoop you're reporting. >>> i want to get to now nbc's jeff bennett for more on the white house response. let's lay out for viewers this is not the first time the president has brought up some sort of insinuation regarding michael cohen's father-in-law. he did it over the weekend on fox news. didn't explain wh

. >> father michael flagler has bio states that he is activist and. [ inaudible ] >> harry belafonteision guides him as he grows and struggles, that man is dangerous to the sloppy ways of the world because that man loves truth more than he loves his own life, dr. martin luther king jr was such a man and because he was there is and has been a great and aggressive move to water down his method and to sanitize his words and to make him comfortable to the status quo and to make it acceptable to the american talent. there has been a move to hijack the very identity of dr. martin luther king jr . we must be clear that dr. king's message was both prophetic and radical, rooted in a radical message of jesus christ which was his foundation. dr. king was tied to a god of love and justice. his loyalty was to god and his faith is what summoned him to his activism. dr. king was uncompromising in his commitment to eradicate war and racism and poverty. he was ever determined in his quest to tear down the door of justice and opportunity that stood to the masses left outside. martin luther king junior

. >> i want to play the sound of rudy giuliani discussing michael cohen's father-in-law so people understandhreat. have a listen. >> do you make a deal to keep his wife who supposedly -- maybe i'm wrong, but you can check. did he make a deal to keep his wife out of trouble. >> he should give information maybe on his father-in-law because that's the one that people want to look at. where is that money? that's the money in the family. >> it's okay to go after the father-in-law? >> of course it is. if the father-in-law is a criminal. comes from the ukraine. the reason that's important is he may have ties to something called organized crime. >> there you have it. the president's lawyer and the president in effect encouraging a criminal investigation of michael cohen's father-in-law as a lawyer yourself, does that constitute intimidating a witness? >> it looks like it. now the question is whether that could be proven in court beyond a reasonable doubt. that's not entirely clear to me. you have to prove this is not only intimidation but done for the purpose of delaying or impeding testimony and so

and michael cohen is withholding it because testifying about that would be very dangerous to the father-in-law and michael cohen. instead, he's going after the president, which the special counsel and all the liberals are applauding him for. that's what's going on. that is a defense -- >> thank you for your time. >> -- to a criminal accusation. if we can't do that, we're not in america. >> thank you for your time. we are still in america. i appreciate your saying that. >> thank you. i got a chance to say it. i appreciate that. >> thank you, sir. 2020 presidential primary is in full swing. and senator kirsten gillibrand of new york is out on the campaign trail in iowa. she says she's the best person to take on president trump. she'll be with us next. stay with us. daddy diaper duty... i can't say it's the highlight of fatherhood. but i'd rather be here with my little man than not be here because of migraine. i have three words for migraine... "i am here." aimovig, a preventive treatment for migraine in adults, reduces the number of monthly migraine days. for some, that number can be cut in half

the very least because the president has been tweeting out, insinuating statements about michael cohen's fatherout michael cohen's wife. it's a sign of how far we've fallen because of the president's spectacular hatred for the rule of law that we would even think it's a normal thing for a president to be trying to interfere with a federal witness or someone who is coming to testify before congress. it's extraordinary. >> let me get it very clearly here because i asked in my open, is this witness intimidation? >> well, we don't know because we don't know the facts. we don't know exactly what michael cohen is referring to. of course, our committee is determined to see that he testify, and we will take all necessary precautions to protect his safety and security on the way in, on the way out, and we will do whatever we can to see that he does not suffer any reprisals or retaliation. >> okay. let me just ask you, and i'll let you get to that. you said on the way in or on the way out. i'm sure that's probably the least of his concern. he's in washington, d.c. then when he's coming to testify, right?

, publicly, on judge janine's show, on twitter, repeatedly calling for investigation into michael cohen's father-in-law ahead of michael cohen's testimony before congress. by your own definition, isn't that obstruction? >> no. he's defending himself. >> or attempting to intimidate a witness? >> if you made that obstruction, i can't defend anybody. >> rewind a year and a half, the fbi did open obstruction of justice inquiry into president trump after he fired his former fbi director james comey, folded into mueller's investigation. we don't know the status of it and we don't know, ana, what mueller knows about the discussions trump may have had with his former lawyer, cohen, about that testimony to congress. >> a lot of questions still need to be answered. sarah westwood, thank you. >>> this does move the ball forward. let's talk with paul callan and white house reporter for bloomberg news. paul, you heard giuliani making clear he's certain trump didn't tell cohen to lie but leaves open the possibility that trump and cohen may have discussed something about his testimony in congress. if he knew c
