>> john dowd is an experienced criminal lawyer. mr. kasowitz while a good civil lawyer doesn't have the kind of experience that john does in the criminal cases. and so the president ought to get the best advice that he can. he can afford it and he needs it. and the real question is whether he will listen to advice because he continues to make statements that will not help him when the rubber meets the road. >> yeah. go ahead. what did you -- >> i was going to say, john dowd and i, when i was in the southern district and he was in main justice, we prosecuted a congressman from pennsylvania in a bribery case and he was a great trial lawyer. a lawyer is only as good as the facts. and to think that one is on the wrong end of the criminal investigation can go about their business, you spend a lot of time in terms of client management trying to help a person have the will to help you defend them and to live realistically with what is going on and tell you that you can defend them. there's nothing worse than finding out from the investigators

billionaire, his lawyer when he got the longest prison sentence ever for insider trading, his lawyer was john dowd. john mccain, fife symington, john dowd, longest insider trading prison sentence ever. and that same lawyer, john dowd, is now going to be donald trump's new lawyer. president trump had reportedly had a hard time finding name-brand d.c. lawyers and d.c. law firms to represent him in the ongoing investigations and the question of whether or not his campaign helped in the russn attack. those investigations also reportedly expanded to include potential obstruction justice by the president himself. and maybe by other people in his administration. that resistances from big d.c. lawyers and big d.c. law firms, him calling them looking for representation and firm after firm telling him no, that has meant the president's legal team as he has assembled his legal team for these scandals has been a little unorthodox for someone facing scandals as serious as this president is facing. the first lawyer he signed up famously was marc kasowitz. he's a lawyer that has done things like real estate law

he's added john dowd, a well respected lawyer in d.c. nbc news confirmed he will be joining the legal team reported by politico earlier. this is a lawyer that represented pete rose in baseball tribulation. he represented senator john mccain in the keating 5 scandal as well. so, a well known lawyer in town joining what appears to be a growing legal team. and, greta, one other point this afternoon. lest you think friday afternoon is an opportunity for white house staffers to blow off some steam and have a few beers on the east front of the old executive office building, we have also been combing through the financial disclosure reports of president trump. here is a few headlines. 37 million in income, that's united states dollars, that he has from mar-a-lago. that golf club alone. he has over 500 businesses. i think one thing that jumps out is his income appears to be a little bit higher, at least from a cursory glance, to say last year from mar-a-lago. he had 30 million, 29 million, this year it's at 37. some of the tickets is golf course

washington's john dowd. who defended past dc scandals and led the baseball investigation that banned star player pete rose. can another lawyer bench the president's twitter game? friday, the president declared i'm being investigated for firing the fbi director by the man who told me to fire the fbi director. witch hunt. referring to deputy attorney general rod rosenstein. the president voluntarily released a federal financial disclosure. not due until next year. the filing cleared by the office of government ethics shows the president reported earnings in a broad range. minimum of $595 million since january of 2016. but president trump refuses to release any tax returns. >> that was kelly o'donnell report from the white house. let's bring in jeremy peters from the new york times and now columnist for the hill. good to you have with us. jeremy, let's start with you. the point that kelly was talking about. the very important development that the president has added high profile lawyer john dowd to the personal

so john dowd has been in the fire, so to speak. d so the legal team includes kas wits, dowd, a couple other lawyers as well and some outside communications help in addition to that. it just tells us that the president needs these tools and that as much as possible they are trying to from within the white house focus on the business of the white house. but the inevitable of needing to be prepared for whatever may come in terms of questions or issues related to the russia investigation. they've beefed up that team. the vice president has also retained a private attorney as well. and he described to reporters that that's just the standard ordinary course of being called of routine and that is true. when you're in a situation like this having legal counsel is important. it can be expensive, but it's necessary when special counsel has such a wide range of things that they are able to look at. so it doesn't tell us that there's any heat that is getting closer to the president. it tells us that the white house is trying to be as prepared a

john dowd is the lawyer he's hired. this is a long-time prosecutor in one life but he was hired by major league baseball to investigate pete rose, the betting scandal. it went on from there. he also defended senator john mccain in the keating five scandal. more than three decades ago. he has deep experience in prosecution and defense. he'll be joining the president's growing legal team here. but the question is, no matter who the president brings on, can anyone sort of persuade him or dissuading him from engaging in this respect? and the reality is, probably not. politically speaking, him doing this probably is, you know, keeping his support high among his base and his core supporters. many who believe there is a witch hunt going on, but he's sending out those talking points. but the president talking to roger stone and other friends of his who believe this is a witch hunt, you know, he's hearing their advice. not necessarily taking the advice from his lawyers. roger stone says that he should fire bob mueller and fire r

john dowd is a high profile lawyer who in the past has represented senator john mccain and investigated pete rose for major league baseball. the new hire coming just hours after president trump appeared to lash out at deputy attorney general rod rosenstein on twitter. >>> new this morning, we're learning more about president trump's business fire. his most recent financial disclosure form shows he made at least $594 million sxoes at least $315 to deutsche bank alone. the report was released by the u.s. office of ethics last night and covers january 2016 through april 15th of this year.. president trump is calling for unity in the wake of the shooting thateft republican congressman steve scalise fighting for his life and four others with injuries. here is part of his weekly address this morning. >> though we have our differences, what unites us is so much stronger. our love of our country, our devoes vocation to its people. now, more than ever, these values must guide us and bring us closer together. >> let's bring in mike vikera who joins us from med star hospital where congressman scal

john dowd once led the investigation into the pete rose betti betting scandal for major league baseball. the president seems to acknowledge thu a angry tweet he's now under investigation. here it is. i'm being investigated for firing the fbi director by the man who told me to fire the fbi director. witch hunt. trump referring to deputy attorney general rob rosenstein in that tweet. there's tension at the highest levels of the justice department tonight. he contemplates whether he will become a witness because of his role in james comey's firing? will he be the second in the justice department to recuse himself. evan perez has more on ha story ahead. first, jeff zeleny is out front at the white house. what can you tell us about the new attorney the president just hired? >> reporter: good evening, kate. the president is adding more firepower on his legal team. you mentioned john dowd who led the baseball investigation into pete rose but he defended senator john mccain in the keating five scandal. all of this comes as the russia investigation is widening, and the president said today he be

there's also word the commander in chief has hired attorney john dowd.xpected to assist the president's personal legal team in its handling of questions related to russian interference in the 2016 election. president trump continues to tweet about the russia investigation, saying i am being investigated for firing the fbi director by the man who told me to fire the fbi director. witch hunt. joining us with the latest from the white house is nbc's kelly o'donnell. a lot of conflicting reports on what the president's next move's going to be when it comes to the russia investigation. what are you hearing today? >> reporter: sources say he has not been informed officially by the office of the special counsel that he is under investigation so the tweet you referred to there, they say he was simply sort of echoing the published reports, news accounts, that say the probe will be staring at president trump and his own actions with respect to the firing of james comey and other things that may be tied to this investigation that has gone on now for quite some time

the president, you know, has added another outside and prominent attorney john dowd to his team to deal investigation. what does this say to you? >> what it says is that -- and both sides have added legal heavyhitters to their team. by sides i mean both the white house and the special prosecutor's team have really top lawyers on both sides suggest we may be getting closer to an obstruction of justice charge. we don't know that yet. but that is one of the indications. and that both sides are taking this very seriously. but if you look at that tweet that you put up a second ago, fred, i think it just shows the position that all of the folks are in, particularly right now, deputy attorney general rod rosenstein, he comes out with this memo on may 9th, setting out the case that director comey was bad for leadership and morale at the fbi, that he didn't say fire him but was used as a pretext by the white house for firing him, then a day later, president trump goes out and tells lester holt no, this was his decision, he was thinking about the russia probe, now with that tweet, the president i

veteran lawyer john dowd who is no stranger to high-profile cases. kelly o'donnell is following the latest from the white house. dowd goes back as you were telling us, he goes back to the keating five. that's like going back to the '80s. a lot of experience here. >> he does. in some ways, i've been thinking of adding john dowd to this team as sort of an age pier for the president who just turned 71 so to have a 76-year-old attorney with experience that goes back deep into the '80s is something that tracks president trump's own career and public life in the business sense. in that way it may be a comfort factor for the president to have someone with this experience and life story. high profile, too, because john dowd has been a part of some of the very famous scandals of the washington era over the past couple of decades and has relevant work that ties into the kinds of issues present in the russia probe from financial matters to ethics. that kind of thing. so the keating five goes back to the savings and loan scandal in the 1980s. also defending one

>> look, i mean, john dowd is a legal legend, you know that, in washington d.c. is doing the appropriate thing by hiring lawyers necessary, if there was to be an investigation, if there were to be an investigation. you have the lawyers in place. we've got a great legal team, we've got john dowd on the team. this is a solid team. contrary to some of the press reports, a deep team. if necessary. chris: do you think -- i misspoke, i'm going to ask one more question because i'm not allowed to ask you what the president thinks. do you think he should stop tweeting about this case? >> look, here's the thing on that, you know, people have been canning me that. the president -- asking me that. the president has changed the way in which engagement goes on. you've got great ratings, no doubt about it, but let's face it, the president speaks to 1078 million people through his social -- 107 million people through his social media platforms. i think, look, the president knows the effectiveness of social media, he's been very effective at it. again, i'm his lawyer, i deal with

john dowd is joining his team of lawyers. dowd investigated pete rose and represented john mccain. president trump acknowledged he is under federal investigation tweeting after seven months of investigations and committee hearings about my collusion with the russians no one has been able to show any proof, sad. and two hours later lashed out at rod rosenstein saying i am being investigated for firing the fbi director by the man who told me to fire the fbi director, witch hunt. >>> a human skeleton found just outside dover. state police say they were found in the woods last night not far from where the festival is happening this weekend. >>> the man best noboknown for of the best underdog stories is dead tonight. john g. abelton died after battling pancreatic cancer. last year he spoke about how he was hesitant to make "rocky" but after being urged by a friend to read the script, he fell in love. he was 81. >>> new details about the death of carry fisher. she died of sleep apnea. she had taken multiple drugs before she died but it's not clear if they contributed to her death. she su

now on board is attorney john dowd, who once led the investigation into the pete rose betting scandalor major league baseball. also cnn learning that tensions are rising at the justice department over this russia probe. the man who named the special counsel this incident occurred off the may have to recuse himself. >> it appears the special council's probe could broaden to include the president's firing of fbi director james comey and whether that was an obstruction of justice. cnn's jeremy dimon is live at the white house. what are you learning about what's going on at the justice department and is the white house reacting at all about this news? >> rene, tensions are building inside the justice department as the special investigation is widening and looking at whether or not the president may interfered into that meddling into the 2016 campaign. that investigation looking into whether there were ties between trump campaign associates and russian officials. all of this widening probe has led to questions about whether the deputy attorney general, rod rosenstein, may need to recuse hi

how frustrating potentially is this for his attorneys even though he's brought on a new one, john dowd, that the president likes his primary mode of communicating with the public by tweeting? no. >> you are assuming in the question, fred, his lawyers are not on board with this strategy. if i were his lawyer, i would not be on board with that strategy. his lawyers may well be of the mind that this is a good strategy to be on the attack to attack -- >> if that's the case why? >> maybe they think like with clinton and starr, their best effort is to try to undermine legitimacy of this investigation should the find examination out poorly for them. -- findings come out poorly for them. marc kasowitz is a contentious litigator, john dowd, similarly reputed reputation for his take no prisoners type of legal style, so this may well be the legal strategy that they've embarked upon. we don't know that. it's not intuitive to me, but i don't represent the president so i don't know, you know, sort of what the thinking is in the attorney/client relationship. >> and so rebecca, you're nodding your hea

this means john dowd will have to find a way to get along with both donald trump and donald trump's lawyerarc kasowitz, who is now himself in well-deserved legal trouble. marc kasowitz violated legal ethics rules by telling white house staff that they did not need lawyers. marc kasowitz was already representing president trump in the russia investigation when he said that. he knew that some of the people he was talking to would become witnesses in the case. in other words, he knew that they would need lawyers. ethics complaints have now been filed in washington, d.c. and in new york contending that marc kasowitz violated ethics rules by giving legal advice to people who could be witnesses in his client's case. the complaint in washington, d.c. includes an allegation that marc kasowitz is practicing law without a license in washington, d.c. since he is only admitted to the bar in new york state. marc kasowitz has no experience in criminal law, and has been on the losing side of many of donald trump's civil case, including the trump university fraud case where donald trump was forced to pay

we all heard of mark, the one we just heard from and then he added john dowd another heavy hitter to his legal team on friday. i can't imagine any of these people are thinking this is a good idea that the president tweets. what is the significance of adding another big-name lawyer to the team? >> well, it's clear he wants some heavy hitters with him. john dowd is someone who is taken very seriously and who represented john mccain and he is someone who has a lot of experience in these types of matters and no stranger to dealing with washington politics and issues of this sort. so, the president clearly trying to build up his team. bracing for what it seems as though he thinks is going to be a portracted fight. at the same time, ali, the messaging machine is in full force here at the white house. he wants to get back to focusing on his agenda. he held a meeting with a number of ceos to talk about american innovation and technology and sean spicer did hold a briefing, but it was off camera and wasn't recorded. really a sign that they wanted to be very specific about the messaging they'r
