michael. >> ginger, thank you so much for that as well. george? >>> thank you, michael. president trump facing new fallout this morning after the bombshell guilty plea from his former lawyer, michael cohen, directly implicating him in campaign finance felonies. could he be impeached by congress? trump took that on in a brand-new interview on fox. >> well, you know, i guess it says something like high crimes and all. i don't know how you can impeach somebody who has done a great job. i'll tell you what. if i ever got impeached, i think the market would crash. >> let's bring in our senior white house correspondent cecilia vega. cecilia, the president's comments will charge up this impeachment debate as we head into the midterms. >> oh george, they certainly will. he went on to say i will tell you what if i ever got impeached i think the market would crash and everybody would be poor so some head-scratching comments there. clearly this topic is front and center on his mind. he was up in the middle of the night tweeting writing, no collusion, rigged witch-hunt at 1:10 this m

cohen joins a growing number of the president's associate who have flipped, rick gates, george papadopoulos, michael flynn, national security adviser on the campaign trail and inside the white house. it's no wonder the president doesn't think highly of, quote unquote, flippers. >> this whole thing about flipping they call it, i know all about flipping. for 30, 40 years i've been watching flippers. everything is wonderful and then they get ten years in jail and flip on whoever the next highest one is or as high as you can go. it almost ought to be outlawed. it's not fair. if somebody's going to spend five years like michael cohen or 10 or 15 years in jail because of a taxicab industry because he defrauded some bank, if you can say something bad about donald trump and you go down to two or three years, which is the deal he made, in all fairness to him, if most people are going to do that. i've seen it many times. i've had many friends involved in this stuff. it's called flipping and almost ought to be illegal. >> investigative reporter tom winter joins me now. i want to start with something the presid

cia directors bob gates, george tenant, michael hayden, all of whom served under republican presidents expressing outrage. they called it an inappropriate attempt to stifle free speech based on political views, writing that this action is quite clearly a signal to other former and current officials. are those concerns valid? >> well look, as i said a moment ago, i've been through this myself and had the senior state department official whose name i'll let go for now persisted and tried to get my clearance pulled because i had been critical of his performance and others, yes, i would have objected to it. i don't think political disagreement alone is sufficient, but i think in the case especially of a senior intelligence community official who violates the separation between intelligence and policy, i think those would constitute grounds. >> but john brennan can look at television, he can look at open source and he certainly has testified in front of congress. >> those are all things that a lot of people who have security clearances outside of administrations do. for me the issue is whet

(sighs) what? try my teriyaki bowls. >>> good morning. 8:59. happy monday to you. here is a look at our forecast. >>> we're looking smoky out there right now as you see behind me. rest assured, this is in the middle and upper parts of the atmosphere. the air we're breathing is fine. only issue i have with outdoor activities is the small craft advisory this afternoon. mid to upper 90s inland. and it just keeps getting warmer through thursday. >>> and taking a look at the richmond side, we are heavy there getting up to the toll plaza due to two problems. an earlier crash off on the shoulder and disabled vehicle on westbound 580. so expect a 20 to 30 minute delay there. and 10 minutes for b.a.r.t. riders at san francisco stations in all directions due to an earlier medical emergency. >>> thanks. time

paul manafort, rick gates, michael flynn, george papadopoulos and now michael cohen who for the laste or dozen years was the president's personal attorney and fixer. what does that say to you? >> to say nothing of the two members of congress who were first to support his presidential campaign, chris collins and duncan hunter under indictment for matters unrelated to donald trump. so it's not a good gang to be hanging around with. but it says that there's been a lot of cooperation from people who have a lot of information about donald trump's 2016 campaign who are now cooperate with authorities. and that should give donald trump some pause. >> david swerdlick? >> this is not only legal jeopardy for him. but when president trump came in, he was going to have a dream team, the best people. now a bunch of people who have plead guilty or been convicted of serious federal crimes. >> this is turning out to be a real nightmare for the president. >> mueller has brought indictments against 32 individuals, three companies and we've seen five guilty pleas. and that's before the events of today w

this news coming more than a month after george stephanopoulos interviewed michael: after it was revealed that he had taped to the president. and if you remember going back to when cohen had had that raid, they knocked on the door and remember michael cohen said it was polite, but they had a tip and they thought evidence would be destroyed and that's what led to them going in there and getting those tapes. >> bret: that was in april, and remember the progression we have seen since then how this case was passed from mueller to the southern district of new york. and now we believe there is some kind of plea deal but i think the conversation that you just had with rick is really crucial because whether he is a cooperating witness for mueller is something that we don't really know. this could be a plea deal on the charges tied to back in tax fraud. he's obviously a key figure in the trump universe, he was in an inner circle for more than a decade. he set up one point he would take a bullet for president trump, then candidate trump. i think that there is a fair amount of worry inside the trump

george w. bush, michael mukasey. michael mukasey, welcome to the "newshour". you were able to hear what lanny davis attorney for healthcare just said. given the pleas yesterday, what legal jeopardy is president trump in right now? >> legal jeopardy, not much. political jeopardy, that depends, i guess, on how thebl receives this, but the question is really what gal jeopardy lanny davis' client was in, and i would suggest to you that he was in legal jeopardy thincipally from the charges you didn't discuss ot segment and not from the charge that you did. >> woodruff: what are you referring to?>> ell, he was facing a whitman sampler holiday assortment of federal charges including tax fraud, income tax evasion and the like. those charges, i believe he had noefense to. the charge that you were discussing was this charge of making an illegal or undicasclod aign contribution and that charge i think he clearly had ao defense to ah nift his interest, i think, to plead guilty so he could implicate somebody else, ie th president, and disclose thema infon that would give h

he was enough to navigate both sides of the party then someone like george mcgovern. >> michael cohenjoining us from west palm beach, florida, kathleen thompson. jeff is on the phone, go ahead please. >> i was curious, and what ways were your father's views similar to richard nixon, and in what ways are they different? >> interestingly enough, when richard nixon and my uncle, john kennedy, were in the senate together, they got along. there was not the same animosity we had between parties in the 50s that there is not. i think that is in large part because they both fought in world war ii. there is a respect for people who are in the trenches together, who put their life on the line together. you may disagree on some policies, but after all what you have shared is the trait of death, and senior fellow soldiers die. i think that always creates a kind of bond. my father then ran the campaign against nixon. i don't think they respected him during the campaign as much . clearly when you read it in somebody, it can be very tough. i think that president kennedy changed his views about nixon,

notice the direct contrast between michael flynn and george papadopoulos, both who have pled guilty. ller recommended sentencing already for papadopoulos for his betrayal, they perceived, after he struck a plea deal for not being a cooperative witness, for not giving information they needed. michael flynn, in contrast, is somebody who i think pled guilty before george papadopoulos, and you have this notion of, well, we want him to still be there. the delay of sentencing tells you they have a need for this person and that he's a fruitful cooperator, not just giving information or a blow hard in different ways. he's somebody who's actually still useful. once he's no longer useful, they will then ask for sentencing. >> they told the court they'll give another update in 30 days, when there could be sentencing. >> and of course 30 days from now is around the time mueller's probe would have to end if the doj rules would say you can't interfere with an election. >> very important. no sentencing for michael flynn, at least not yet. meanwhile, other important news happening right now. the u.s.
