somebody is lying. it's not the kind of information that you would get wrong, that you wouldn't bivy to, that would change. assuming the president told them the truth about what happened. somebody is lying about this, rudy. and i don't understand why. >> i don't think anybody's lying. i think a mistake was made at the very early stages of an investigation. i don't mean an investigation. very early stages of a representationa lawyer, which happens all the time. so i don't think it's a significant fact. the most important thing is, there was no testimony under oath to that effect. and then when a written statement was put in, it was completely accurate. >> you're only worried about the exposure to a crime. i'm not saying -- criminal liability is not the only bar here for a president of the united states and his team. sarah sanders is up there and says he had nothing to do with thing of that. how did she get that wrong? selow was wrong, she was wrong. how did these people not know? >> i have no idea how th

the president said he fired flynn for lying and flynn later pleaded guilty for lying to the fbi about his contacts with russian officials. the president pressed on his former personal attorney, mike equalco.en, and reports cohen is considering cooperating with federal investigators. >> are you worried michael cohen did not flip? >> look, i did nothing wrong. this stuff would have come out a long time ago. >> it comes just days after the president struck a deal with north korea to denuclearize. reporters questions him on why he has been praising a nuclear dictator. >> because i don't want to see a nuclear weapon destroy you and your family. >> and the president raising eyebrows with this comment. >> he's the head of a country and he's a strong head. don't let anything say anything different. he speaks and his people sit up with attention. i want my people to do the same. >> but north korea is a totalitarian regime where dissent isn't tolerated. when challenged, mr. trump shrugged it off. >> i'm kidding. >> the president weighing in on the immigration crisis engulfing his administration

in this case, james wolfe charged with lying to federal investigators. also of note here is that part of this investigation, the fbi actually seized some of the records from the communications from phone and e-mail of a new york times reporter who had been in communication with james wolfe, so a very significant prosecution here and really we're seeing some of this become public for the first time in the trump administration. pamela? >> certainly is significant, jessica schneider, thank you so much. >>> president trump says muhammad ali may be next to pardon. but here is a problem. muhammad ali doesn't need a pardon. we'll be back. ♪ ♪ don't juggle your home life and work life without it. business financing to help grow your business. another way we have your back. the powerful backing of american express. don't do business without it. i had a very minor fender bender tonight! in an unreasonably narrow fast food drive thru lane. but what a powerful life lesson. and don't worry i have everything handled. i already spoke to our allstate agent, and i know t

i'm not going to address the fact that the president was lying, there was no collusion. again, they're wrong on that. all you have to do is look back to that trump tower meeting when you had the president's son, his son-in-law and his campaign manager meeting with russian intelligence people with close ties to russian intelligence for the express purpose of getting dirt on hillary clinton. but here is what's happening. this is just part of a broader campaign to cast this entire investigation not as a legal problem but as a political problem for the president, to kind of muss things up, to confuse the public so no matter what the findings are by mueller when the action is time to take action on this and it depends on congress taking action, you have a public that is very divided. and there was a new pole out over the weekend showing just how successful this initiative has been. it showed that the negative coverage of this probe is having a big impact on the president's base. fox viewers in particular, according to this navigator poll v a negative view of this probe by 73

that is how deep and perverse donald trump's lying is. donald trump's lying is worse. in american history, and this week he lied for political advantage about the families of the korean war dead in the same breath that he praised the north korean dictator who holds on to power in north korea through murder and torture and terrorizing the entire population of north korea. you are never going to see a satisfying interview of donald trump, an interview where he is successfully challenged on every lie, because donald trump will never submit to an interview where that could possibly happen. and the news media is never going to be able to keep up with all of donald trump's lies after he tells them. so you as a citizen have a new job. you must protect yourselves from the lies of donald trump. you must do your own homework to expose donald trump's lies to yourself and your family and your friends and your fellow citizens. the president of the united states is a deeply sick, pathological and perverse liar who will lie about anything, at any time, and that changes -- changes utt

trump and his dhs secretary lying about this.eff segs trying to have it both ways but admitting at least under questioning what the goal is, the deterrent. and stephen miller, the original arct tect, not pretending his policy is anything but a clear and simple move to provide zero-tolerance for these families and other humanitarian considerations. i should mention we reached out to miller for comment and come on the beat. he's declined. two days ago he said splitting families is simple decision by the trump administration to have a zero-tolerance policy for illegal entry, period. a simple decision. there's a cruelty in those three words even by the standards of 2018. and i think it does lay bare part of how we got here and why this problem does run deeper n than the spectacle of one donald trump. you've seen the pictures. people are suffering tonight, but tomorrow's story has not been written yet. there is a potential for a reckoning right now, for this nation to reflect what we want done in our name and who we want leading these

i think lying is evidence of a crime. lying can be evidence of feelings of guilt. but lying itself is not a crime unless it is done to law enforcement official. it is dangerous that we have a statute on the books which i have disproved of over the years to make it lying. civil libertarians have been opposed to 10011. that would be a bridge too far. but it is evidence of consciousness of guilt and if there were a crime and i don't believe that the president can be charged for exercising his constitutional authority, of course the president can obstruct justice if he tells under-lings to lie to the fbi. nobody says the president can't be charged with obstruction of justice. can he be charged for simply firing or pardoning people. i think the answer to that is no. >> why sarah sanders would come out and say somethi that is not true. either they wouldn't know it is untrue. or they knew and they lied. >> i think the former is much more likely than the later. i don't believe that jay sekulow just lied repeatedly on television because he felt like it. i think and alan kno

the second is deliberate lying, richard nixon style. is just this kind of performance art. the pro wrestling called k-fab and a book on rendering bs, not caring at all whether something is true or not. i think this is confirmation that we saw here. >> ron, my guess about this is that trump voters who are still trump voters and still trump supporters, when they see that and when they see him open that window say, of course, well, i will never admit that i was wrong, i will find some kind of an excuse, that they are now conditioned and ready to help him with the excuse, not just accept it but help him with it and take it to their coffee shops and recite it to anyone who isn't a trump supporter. >> yeah. i mean, lawrence, this was of course the breakthrough trump tactic in the campaign, the sad breakthrough, which was making up these explanations that were patently untrue but that his supporters repeated. why did he never release his tax return? oh, he was under audit. you know, and who's going to pay for the wall? mexico will pay for the

, as in lying. first thing this morning, president trump walked across the north lawn of the white house to speak to his good friends at fox news. let's star with the justice department's blockbuster internal watchdog review. here's the president's take away. >> i think that the report yesterday may be more importantly than anything, it totally exonerates me. >> no, that's what you'd call a lie. it has nothing to do with you. the report chastised former fbi director james comey handling of the hillary clinton e-mail investigation. it claimed that comey was not motivated by political bias. apparently you didn't read that page. >> you look at what happened they were plotting against my election. >> that would be something else you'd call a lie. just read the report, sir. and your friends from fox news foolishly asked they think james comey behavior should have jail time you said this. >> that seems like a criminal act to me, what he did was criminal. >> that's a lie. you followed it up with this. >> i

how does that put you in a position with regard to perjury, with lying to agents, whatever? trump stance on. this it'sed that we have gotten to this point. it is not a crime to lie to "the new york times." it's not a crime to lie to the public. it's not a crime to lie on twitter. it'sed that that's the level we're getting to. >> is it a lie for the president to admit that he designed a cover up to cover up his son, that he came up with a nice explanation, a nice alibi why he is meeting with the russians and why jared was with him, is that a lie when he puts that in a letter to the public? >> it certainly is a lie. >> to the prosecutors? >> yes. it's evidence of his stooimt state of mi state of mind. mueller is going to use that in the background of that case. >> can that be a felony perjury case to put a 20-page memo to the prosecutor and say this is the truth? >> if he lies in the memo. >> if he admits in memo that he covered up? >> no, no. he is telling the truth in the memo, presumably, that he lied to "the new york times," which in and of itself is not a crime. so there

. >> to inha's lying isn't illegal. and lying to the public isn't illegal. however, it can be used and has been used historically in articles of impeachment, lying to the public against nixon, against president clinton. legally -- >> so it is not a crime to lie to "the new york times". >> which is lying to the public, by the way. they say it is -- well, he just lied to one reporter. >> lo giuliani admission that we're not going to bring him in because of the shifting explanations is a truly remarkable admission. but from a legal standpoint, there is teeth to the argument that by lying to the public, you're not committing a crime. it is hard to imagine that someone who the "washington post" says lies nine times a day to the public, which is our president, is going to be charged with, you know, impeachment for lying to the public, but it can be used. yeah. it can be used as evidence of his willingness and his intent to obstruct justice. >> it can be used to make the legal argument of intent. >> exactly. so that if he were down the road, for example, to fire th

president trump is lying to the american people when he says that families -- family separation is the law of the land. he is lying when he says democrats put a law on the books mandating children are terrorized in this way. under previous administrations' policies, families remained together while waiting for their asylum claims to proceed through our immigration courts. but this president has broken with the basic standards of decency that has guided past administrations, republican and democrat alike. now, the criminalizing of asylum seekers is in fact a newly unveiled policy. attorney general jeff sessions called it a, quote, zero tolerance policy. i say it's a zero humanity policy, a zero compassion policy. this policy of persecuting families fleeing for their lives comes straight from the white nationalist fringe. it's been in the works for over a year, going all the way back to when chief of staff john kelly was secretary of homeland security. back in march of 2017, then-secretary john kelly said that, quote, the name of the game is deterrence. unquote. he said that if the admin

merkley or hogan lying? let's talk about decency. >> i think the senator is shedding light on an important issue. the administration's policy is overcrowding the system. and so they're intentionally separating families that's now overcrowding border patrol stations which in tune are going to overcrowd the rest of the system. we are the ones jamming the system, because the attorney general announced this new policy. so those facilities are intended to match those children with their parents. we're the ones taking two-year-olds from their parents, and so that's what needs to stop on the front end so that system is not overcrowded. >> and nick, it doesn't seem that jeff merkley is lying about this. he went there and tried to get in and saw what he saw. >> yeah. i think the senator is telling the truth, and the fact that he was not allowed in suggested they have something to hide. but my own fact check would be that the administration, that there's a series of things that are absolutely false here. one is the no
