what more do you know about kristen davis? >> she has a very colorful history in new york.an for city comp controller. she tried to run for governor. one of her major policy platforms was legalizing marijuana, which just tells you how far that issue has come, if you are following new york politics. she claimed to have provided prostitutes to eliot spitzer, the governor who resigned amid a prostitution scandal. there is zero evidence to support that claim, but she later pled guilty to exchanging prostitutes and receiving payment in terms of prescription pills. she pled guilty to that in federal court. now, her connection to roger stone is very interesting. roger stone advised her as a candidate. he didn't take money from her, but who very famously tangled with eliot spitzer, seemed to prop up his candidate that caused plenty of headaches and embarrassment for eliot spitzer. she obviously knows roger stone. they go back for a number of years. roger stone has had his own colorful history. what robert mueller will get from an interview or a subpoena from kristen davis is not en

we know robert mueller has reached out to kristen davis known as the manhattan adam. w, davis has worked for stone for years. they're very close. he is the godfather to her son, but her lawyer says that she has not been subpoenaed by robert mueller, but he did tell me -- this is daniel hawk hiser, her attorney, if the special attorney appeals her, he will be representing her in that. he also declined any conversations he had with the special office. they also declined to comment. davis's spokeswoman gave us a statement in which she explained the extent of the relationship with roger stone shchl e said christian davis and roger stone are very good friends and she's worked off and on with him for the last ten years. roger is her son's godfather. she works kurnlly in the cosmetology business and knows nothing about the 2016 election. we also have a statement from roger stone's lawyer and here's what he told us. he said if the purpose of the special counsel investigation is russian involvement in the election through collusion, roger is certain miss davis would have no kno

i would describe the interest in kristen davis as a subsqueeze. it harassment and certainly from his point of view he may view it that way because he is close to her personally. but what the mueller people are looking for are people who knew what roger stone knew. and roger has said a variety of things about what he knew about guccifer, what was going on in russia and the campaign. and the mueller people are obviously trying to pin him from the outside in if they can. >> right, i think you're reporting rau reporting roger's rebuttal and kim's context all serve not to infer anything negative about them in all fairness. and yet we're seeing these grinding gears go on in a way that obviously swirls around stone. kim, the other big news relatively unusual beyond the cohen tapes is mr. avenatti who has a track record of predicting certain things, telling me this just moments ago. take a look. >> i'm not going to get into discussing what i may or may not have discussed with michael cohen. and i'm not going to say no as it relates to potentially represen

investigators and special counsel robert mueller's office have given notice to an attorney for kristen davis as part of their digging into russian interference in the 2016 election. you might remember this name, davis is known as the manhattan madame who was in the headlines back in the 2,000s for running a high end prostitution ring, also connected to former new york governor spitzer. investigators want to talk to with her about her close friend roger stone, who was a long time confidant of president trump. this all comes one week after prosecutors announced an indictment of 12 russian intelligence officers who are accused of conspireing to hack democrats during the campaign. davis giving a quote to a reporter yesterday saying in terms of russian collusion, she knows nothing. back to you. eboni: thank you very much laura. for more on this we're going to go to alex little, a defense attorney and a former assistant federal prosecutor. thanks for joining, alex. >> good afternoon. >> a lot to unpack here m we're going to start with some of things in laura's report. as we know in new york state

nbc news is reporting that special counsel plans to subpoena a woman named kristen davis. she was dubbed the manhattan madam back when she was connected to the elliott spitzer prostitution scandal. she said today she will cooperate. that she has no information on russian collusion but she added she has worked for former trump campaign advisorer, rogerer stone, for many years. earlier tonight roger stone told cnn that davis has done nothing wrong. >> she has no nnchlation on russian collusion or anything else improper having to do with the 2016 election. >> i know it's a lot. we're going to get to all of it as promised. let's bring in our leadoff panel. pulitzer prize winning reporter for the new york times. attorney for -- michigan. good evening to you all. thank you for your patience. and even though this is your story so i don't have to bring you into an area of sourcing where you're not going to answer my question anyway. i'm going to start with the lawyer present. you can't be on cable muse these days without using the word narrative. are so here's the narrative emergi

kristen davis has been a friend of mine and has worked on and off for me for ten years.brilliant woman who has remade her life. i am the godfather to her son. she is currently in the cosmetology business. she has no knowledge of russian collusion during the 2016 election. i cannot imagine why the special counsel wants to interview her other than for purposes of harassment. now, i followed up by saying harassment of who, you know, you or her or both? and he said both. i would describe the interest in kirsten davis as a subsqueeze. he can call it harassment, and certainly from his point of view he may view it that way because apparently he is close to her personally. but what the mueller people are looking for are people who know what roger stone knew. and roger has said a variety of things about what he knew about guccifer, what was going on in russia and the campaign, and the mueller people are obviously trying to pin him from the outside in if they can. >> right. i think your reporting, roger's rebuttal, and kim's context all serve to underscore the fact that somebody m

how does kristen davis figure into this investigation? >> well, blake, roger stone said in the interview last night that the only reason he can think of for mueller's team that would want to speak with her is because of her close ties to him and stone has long been a person of interest in the special counsel's investigation in no small part because of his contact during the campaign with the hacking group, which we know now was operated by russian intelligence officers. in an interview with the washington post, friday, kristen davis describes stone as one of her best friends and called the mueller probe a witch hunt saying quote in terms of russian collusion, i know nothing. they seem to be going back with him and picking up people who worked for roger and some people who are disgruntled. now we've reached out to davis and her attorney for comment, and while the special counsel's office also is not commenting on these latest reports, davis would be the latest addition to a long list of folks with ties to roger stone whose mueller's team h

you may remember kristen davis went to jail as part of the prostitution scandal involves former new yorktzer. she has tied to long time trump advisor roger stone. while the special counsel's office is not commenting on these latest reports, we know that mueller's team has already interviewed multiple people with close ties tostone. >>> a new branch of the democratic party is gaining speed. according to the associated press, 42 candidates at the local, state, and federal level this year have the former endorsement of the democratic socialists of america. candidates like bernie sanders are hitting the campaign trail and becoming recognizable faces of the democratic party. >> we are a nation that will not stop until every child is born with the opportunity to go to college or trade school free of cost, and we will not rest, we will not rest until every person in this country is paid a living wage to lead a digny filed life! >> the democratic socialist of america now have 45,000 dues paying members. >>> making sure women and people of color search fair pay was just one of -- receive fair pay

"watters' world." jesse: socialist millennial cortez rsh *, is she all sizzle and no speak? here is what she said when questioned on israeli-palestinian relations. >> you used the term the occupation of palestine. what did you mean by that? >> i think way meant is like the settlements that are increasing in some of these areas and places where palestinians are experiencing difficulty in access to their house and homes. >> do you think you could pond on that. >> i am not the expert on geopolitics on this issue. jesse: that's for sure. joining me now, fox news contributor, tomi lahren. we have been in situations where i'm sure we don't know exactly what we are talking about, but we are able to fijt and wing it and

kristen davis is her name. and special counsel mueller apparently wants to talk to her. now, davis is still in prison for her role in running a high-profile prostitution ring. it's not clear why he wants to talk to her, but it might have something to do with stone. who admitted as much on cnn tonight. >> i cannot imagine anything other than that question. she has been an associate of mine for over ten years. she's someone i have great affection for. >> now, roger stone has said he may be the unnamed person in an indictment alleging contacts with russians who hacked into -- tgif. and by the way, a very happy 55th birthday to you. >> wait a second. i need to issue a correction. i'm not a -- 55. welcome, gentlemen. >> thank you, happy birthday. i want to know how shannon bream was tweeting photos and i'm here. >> you took the midnight shift on your birthday? >> no, i've got zero clout. there is a recording. we heard that there might be recordings seized by the fbi and he did secretly tape one conversation. there may be more. rudy giuliani confirms it. he said, "i don't want

can i ask you quickly about kristen davis, who is known as the manhattan madam and the fact she's beenw by mueller's team. what would they be looking for with this woman who has long ties with roger cohen -- roger stone. >> another excellent question. i don't think we have enough information to know for sure what's behind that attempt to interview miss davis. she does have a lot of long-standing ties to roger stone, who was a key player in the campaign. roger stone had a hot of contacts with russian agents during the campaign and wikileaks. perhaps they want to know did he mention anything to her about that. or it might be something different. obviously they are after something mr. stone might have said to her that would indicate some sort of admission or knowledge. how far it goes, i don't think we have enough information to know for sure. >> okay. we'll be getting more, which means i'll have you back to talk about it. thank you very much. the threat michael cohen may pose to the president. the day after chemo shouldn't mean going back to the doctor just for a shot. with neulasta onpr

news is reporting this evening that the special counsel plans to subpoena a new york woman named kristen davis to talk to investigators. she was dubbed the manhattan madam by the new york tabloids back when she was connected to the eliot spitzer prostitution scandal. she said today she will cooperate, that she has no information on russian collusion, but she added she has worked for former trump campaign adviser roger stone for many years. earlier tonight, roger stone told cnn that ms. davis has done nothing wrong. >> she has no knowledge whatsoever of any russian collusion, collaboration with wikileaks, or anything else improper having to do with the 2016 election. >> i know it's a lot. we're going to get to all of it as promised. let's bring in our lead-off panel to do just that on a friday night. matt apuzzo, prize winning reporter for new york time. barbara mcquade, former u.s. attorney for the eastern district of michigan. and eli stokols, white house reporter for "the l.a. times." good evening to you all. thank you for your patience. matt, even though this is your story, so i don't have

breaking news, nbc news has confirmed a report that manhattan madam kristen davis is being subpoenaed by robert, special counsel robert mueller. going to read this to you so i get it just right. davis, the manhattan madam, just told nbc news that someone in robert mueller's office called her lawyer yesterday to ask if she would accept a subpoena or if the fbi would need to serve her. her lawyer called back today and said she accepted, but has no more detail. for them to come to me on information in russian collusion, i don't have that. but she adds, i worked for roger stone many years. ding, ding, ding, madam. i've been with rogers since 2010 doing web design and multi talented, madam. i can't believe i'm reading this. heilman, say something. >> as the -- >> heilman is speechless. >> we've been focused for a while. i don't like the noose tightening metaphor. roger stone is in deep trouble and he's been -- >> why? >> because of the fact -- >> he was the colluder? >> we don't know. >> really? >> he's been in touch -- there is question about what he knew about gucifer 2.0. that questions

kristen davis the so called manhattan madame is expected to be subpoenaed by the mueller investigation this is how stone reacted last night. >> she has been an associate of mine for

it comes after davis told us earlier today told kristen welker he's signaling they're ready to be more and more aggressive on there. this is ramping up in a furious way. we knew mike cohen, long-time fixer for donald trump, his right-hand man would take a bullet for him, you know this, now though it appears and daufs didn't say this ultimately but he all but said that cohen is in fact ready to flip. davis specifically declined to endorse the word flip. said he's only committed to telling the truth but davis said cohen has truth on his side. that's all he's going to do is tell the truth. it is signal upon signal coming from team cohen they're ready to be very aggressive on there. as of about an hour and a half ago standing on the south lawn of the white house trying to get questions to the president about this. so far he has declined to answer those questions in settings ranging from the oval office yesterday ever since this cohen recording came out since his road trip today at the white house around 8:30 eastern time, he has tweeted about this but other than that sing tweet, no respons

kristen welker, and he did a little more circumlocution. but let's start with this idea of a premeeting. he's saying that lanny davis or maybe a reporter that's calling for comments, it's unclear, is saying there was a meeting two days before the trump tower meeting. what do you know about that? >> he said both that lanny davis is saying this and michael cohen was saying this. i don't know if this meeting happened. i don't know if lan write davis had said this. i can tell you from my reporting today that michael cohen has no knowledge of a premeeting. so he is not going around saying that there was a premeeting because he did not know about that until rudy giuliani was on air today. >> i just want to be clear. if there was a premeeting two days before the meeting, which would be a big deal i think because it would blow up this idea of it's all casual, come by trump tower -- >> seat of the pants. >> seat of the pants, right? if there was such a thing, you're saying that did not originate with michael cohen >> from my reporting that's not what michael cohen is saying which is what rudy giuliani said in at least one of

kristen, let's start here with you. you were shouting many of those questions that the president didn't answer this week. michael cohen clearly now with the hiring of lanny davis going on offense. he's been aggressive this week, releasing the tape to cnn of that conversation, and now the report that he's ready to talk perhaps to special counsel robert mueller, without evidence that we've seen yet that president trump knew ahead of time about that 2016 meeting. so i just ask you basically, how concerned is the white house about michael cohen? >> they're concerned. the president is infuriated. i can tell you, i have been speaking to the president's allies, willie, and that's a real barometer i think for the way in which the president is viewing this. they are deeply concerned. they don't like what they heard on that audiotape. the optics of it are bad. but it does suggest, they say, the president wasn't being truthful when he said he didn't know about that critical meeting. at this point in this time it is a he said/he said, is there any evidence, anyone to corroborate what michael cohen appears to be ready to tell the special counsel. president trump has said,
