thank you, kristen. my first introduction to pbwc was in 2005, and it was through a corporate sponsorship at my previous employer, and so, through their sponsorship, it provided me access to the annual conference, and i also started taking advantage of webinars, community events, and attending all of their networking opportunities. >> i've been to the conference. it really is inspirational, the women you meet, the seminars available. what did that open your eyes to? i know you were working a job, and you were happy, but you wanted something more, something new, something different, more opportunities. tell us about how the pbwc activities enabled you to pursue that. >> yes. so, i was at my previous employer for over 14 years. it was my first job out of college. and so, attending pbwc made me realize that i was really in my comfort zone, and how was i defining that for myself. it put me down a path of continuous self-improvement, and i started to understand that there was greater things out there that i c

nbc's kristen welker has details. >> reporter: tonight, a dramatic fbi raid at the new york office and hotel room of michael cohen, the president's personal attorney who paid off adult film star stormy daniels for her silence about her alleged affair with mr. trump 11 days before the election. law enforcement officials say the fbi is investigating that $130,000 payment to daniels, which watchdog groups have called a campaign violation, and today, investigators seized e-mails, tax documents and business records according to "the new york times" which first reported the news. tonight, law enforcement sources tell nbc news federal prosecutors in manhattan obtained search warrants after a referral from special counsel robert mueller who found evidence of a potential crime but determined the matter didn't involve the russia investigation. cohen's attorney lashing out calling the move completely inappropriate and unnecessary saying the fbi seized privileged communications and arguing cohen has cooperated completely with all government entities. >> this means that prosecutors believe they hav

nbc's kristen welker has details. >> reporter: tonight, a new turn in the legal fight over what should happen to the records the fbi seized from president trump's embattled personal attorney michael cohen that include materials related to porn star stormy daniels swarmed by photographers today. cohen and the president don't want the government to decide what documents get turned over. instead they want an independent lawyer to be the filter. today a judge said all the lawyers involved get to look at the documents first and then she'll decide next steps. no comment from cohen but stormy daniels had plenty to say. >> he has never thought that the little man or especially women and even more women like me matter. that ends now. >> reporter: the document seized from cohen included some related to the $130,000 cohen paid daniels in the days before the campaign to stay silent about her alleged affair with mr. trump which the white house denies. in an unexpected twist today, the judge forced cohen to reveal in addition to the president, he has also represented fox news megastar sean hannity w

i'm going to move on to kristen. we're tight on time with the visit of the alabama team coming up soon. the president has been clear. he's addressed this several times. brian? >> reporter: let me ask my other question. has the president had any conversations about firing robert mueller, jeff sessions or rod rosenstein? >> i haven't had any conversations about that. >> go ahead. >> reporter: go ahead, kristen. >> can you just answer the question. the president appointed reasonable doubt. how can he call the raid yesterday a witch hunt when it was approved by the deputy attorney general he appointed? >> once again, i'm not aware of what the process is and who signs off on those specific types of things. the president certainly has been very clear about what his position is when it comes to matters of collusion and that's what his reference is. he thinks this entire thing is a witch hunt. i think we've spoken about this at length, ad nauseam and i frankly think it's a big distraction the media has spent every single day

thanks for joining us, i'm kristen sze. we've also learned mountain view police encountered the suspect hours before the shooting, but san bruno police never got word of it. an 7 news reporter alyssa harrington is live at the san bruno police department with the latest. >> reporter: that's right, kristen. the san bruno police chief revealed that the suspect visited a gun range the morning of the shooting. he will not say which one but it is here in the bay area. they have issued a search warrant at the suspect's home in southern california to get a better understanding of the motive behind this attack. youtube shooter nasim aghdam never actually got inside the building. instead she gained access through the parking garage and entered a gate to the outside courtyard where people were eating. here you see an employee letting a police officer into that same area using a company badge. >> at this point in the investigation it is believed the suspect was upset with policies and practices of youtube. this appears to be the motive

and kristen did the direct examination from her. but we went back to that report that she did a lot. because it was significant in showing what the real science is behind this and how this -- how this goes. and dr. villier, who testified in the last trial about this, she's another great expert in this arena. and i think it's important that these messages get out, that that's what this is. and maybe at some point we won't need to put on an expert to educate a juror because we will all recognize that those sexual assault myths are not real and we should be looking at everything that happens to somebody who has been saully sewelled. >> any chance that marguerite jackson could face perjury charges? >> i can't talk about investigations. >> can you speak about the difference between having a local jury as onned to an out of town jury? do you think that had had a jury. this jury seemed to be very different. they paid close attention and took lot of notes. they were ly paying attention. -- really paying attention. do you think having a mob

say that because when -- when we came back to look at this case, reesa and judge furman now asked kristen and some of our team to go to toronto to meet with andrea and that was a difficult task and when kristen came back, she was adamant, adamant about what we should do, and we moved forward and it was the right thing to do and she has stuck through this the whole way, and she had an opportunity, which was kind of a bad day for me when she had a great opportunity for her and her family to go to an excellent law firm, stradley ronan and we talked a lot and kristen did not want to leave this and not see it to the end, and we talked to bill sasso the chairman of the firm who we all owe a debt of gratitude too, for allowing her to stay on with us and stay with us through this case. and -- and you have seen the results of that. she, like, like mr. ryan here has prosecuted so many sexual y assaults and domestic violence cases and i couldn't have found two better partners and two better people, two better prosecutors to walk this journey with. their commitment to doing the right thing has been e

kristen, let's start with you. take us through what you're reporting and any response you're hearing at this hour from the white house. >> no response yet from the white house, nicolle, but sources familiar with this discussions, this process tell us that those negotiations between the president's legal team and the team of special counsel robert mueller have largely broken down at this point in the wake of that dramatic raid of the president's personal attorney michael cohen. >>> now, we determined based on these conversations that the negotiations were actually further along than initially suspected, that they had started talking about final sticking points, everything from the scope to the breadth of a potential interview, the timing, how quickly robert mueller could write that report and submit it to rod rosenstein that you just talked about. ultimately, the president's legal team didn't want that process to drag out, wanted it to be expeditious. one source defining expeditious as a few months, three to four mo

let's go to kristen welker live at the white house. there are so many unanswered questions when it comes to the deployment of the troops to the national border. you had a chance to talk to the homeland security secretary. we didn't get a lot of specifics out of this. >> reporter: we didn't get that many details. we asked the homeland security secretary, how many troops? when could we expect to see the national guard on the border? will they be armed? that critical question. she didn't have answers to those, hallie. but what she did say is that the administration is working with the governors as we speak to try to map out some of those details. take a look at part of the exchange. >> we are going to look at the technology, the surveillance, it is rough terrain down there. >> thank you, guys. we have to head out. one of the questions we pressed her on over and over again, will they be armed. it's a question she side-stepped. officials in mexico indicated they don't anticipate that they will be armed, but that remains in unanswered questi

i mean, i think kristen said it stopped for a while. i've never heard of a white house where so much pooh comes out the window all the time on whoever is being talked about. it's always negative. it's always free-flowing. what do you make of this crowd? the president seems to have no control over the people who work for him who are political people. working for him. >> and yet the culture seems to come from him. this tone is set from the top. who is the leaker in chief of the white house? well, he may sit in the oval office himself. he sets the tone. he sets the culture in this office surrounding himself with people who don't have any loyalty to one another, who have no history with one another. and i got to say this about the ronny jackson story, by the way. and i agree with ashley. i don't think he was qualified at all to run the v.a. but i think there was some something deeply troubling about the fact that the unverified allegations were published and put out there. because every time something like that is put out there, it strength

kristen welker was in that driveway gag will. kristen, give us the highlights. what did he say? short continues to be defiant as is this white house that ronnie jackson da skerves a fair hearing and deserves to tell his story pushing back vigorously against these allegations that have been made against him. allegations of drinking on the job, handing out pills, creating a toxic work environment. short essentially saying he has no plans to withdraw and that he wants to move forward in this process. and the white house still believes that he is the right person for this position. now, he got a lot of tough questions about the rollout process and he 8, hallie, there is going to be, as you and i reported last night, a very strong effort to really try to make the case now for ronnie jackson. this comes after i've been talking to a number of former obama administration officials who say, look, they never saw jackson drinking on the job. two officials acknowledge, of course, at times there were sleeping pills given out on long flights overseas, that's not atypical when you're dealing w

kristen, how do you square the circle? it seems to be from carol lee and courtney's reporting, and your reporting, that the national security team had to scramble after the president said we're getting out. >> they did. they had to convince him, andrea, that that wasn't the best course of action, that it ultimately could leave a vacuum in syria. yesterday during the press conference, it was echoed by the statement of sarah sanders, the narrative that isis is almost defeated. military analysts, experts and the national security team essentially arguing that, look, the united states still needs to have a presence there to not only finish the job, but to make sure that isis doesn't come back in stronger form. this is also notable, andrea, remember as a candidate, president trump was very clear, he never wanted to show his hands on what he wanted to do militarily. now in fact he's doing exactly that, effectively saying that he wants to leave syria as soon as possible. during the campaign as well, though, he also did argue for

i want to go back to kristen welk welker. there's a question that will be asked if there's a tennessoppor to ask questions. is. >> this is significant for this administration. they have consistently painted democrats as obstructionists in this process but this controversy with ronnie jackson is something the white house, this administration, this president will have to answer for. to what extent was he thoroughly vetted. this is the doctor that came out at the beginning of this year and gave the president a clean bill of health. this is someone who has served for bipartisan presidents and who is broadly respected. the question is how thoroughly was he vetted for this new position. you'll remember when he was fif first announced there were questions about whether he's the right pick to manage such a huge and vast besiody within the government. it was believed that would be the focus of his confirmation hearing. not the latest questions surrounding his background. the white house digging into trying to get to the bottom of it.
