she is known as the manhattan madam. she ran a manhattan prosecution ring and future a time she went to jail in the scandal surrounding new york governor eliot spitzer. now roger stone put out a statement today basically saying he doesn't have any idea what mueller wants with kristen either. says kristen davis is a long-time friend and associate of mine. i'm the godfather to her 2-year-old son. she knows nothing about russian collusion, wikileaks collaboration or any impropriety related to the 2016 election, which i thought was the subject of this probe. i understand she appeared voluntarily. i'm highly confident she will testify truthfully if called upon to do. >> so it appears that mueller investigation into roger stone is not only continuing, but escalating. >> it does seem like there is circle in and around him. andrew miller who is another former associate of roger stone is also being called to testify in front of tgrand jury. if you look into roger stone's back story, there is a reason they might be interested in t

they say, well, we need to do a manhattan project on this. so we still have that in the back of our minds, that there is this almost impossible female that was accomplished by -- feat that was accomplished by dedicated people working hard to come up with something nobody else had ever done before. so we still take lessons from that and from oppenheimer's leadership in that. st a mixed legacy. partly it's a mixed legacy because of -- [inaudible] partly because of the nuclear power plant accidents that have happened, fukushima, chernobyl, three file island. partly -- three mile island. partly because of divide opinions of the public, of looking at people who work at los alamos as either saviors of our democracy or shadowy figures who have their fingers on armageddon. i mean, it's a complicated thing to try to wrap your head around. and a lot of times there's no black and white, easy answers on this. >> twice a month c-span's cities tours take booktv and american history tv on the road to explore the literary life and history of a selected city.

this is in new york city, lower manhattan. michael cohen entering the federal courthouse there. >> actually, that's 26 federal pla plaza, the entrance to the federal appeals. he can surrender to federal law enforcement officials. that picture right there that we're seeing from cnbc, that's michael cohen entering 26 federal plaza which is the location of the new york fbi field office. from there, steve, he's going to be in position to -- he will actually i believe be fingerprinted and that will start the criminal process for him from the standpoint of actually at that point entering into this plea agreement we've been talking about. that's essentially where it's at and that's where he is. the courthouse from there, it is likely that they will drive him to the courthouse and then from there he'll make his appearance. he will announce his plea and then i expect that we will see him this afternoon. there's really no underground entrance or exit that he will go through at either one of the courthouses. we should see him again this

s office, the manhattan d.c.'s office and that he obviously is very connected to cohen and it likely also cooperating with federal prosecutors in connection with the federal income tax fraud and the loan fraud that cohen pled guilty to. so there's a lot of intertwining prosecutorial investigations related to michael cohen. so it is not that surprising that we would see state prosecutors looking into some of this criminal activity. >> and dan, again, as a nonlawyer, i know about famous court cases involving business entities. i know about the enron case. i know about the arthur andersen case. oil companies and stuff like that. i don't know that much about what it means for there to be a criminal charge against a business like the trump organization. if that happens, if this manhattan district attorney's office does bring criminal charges against the organization, against the business, does that mean that the people who are the principals of that business essentially have to answer for the business's behavior if the

that would really help. >> you know, the manhattan d.a. going after the trump organization as an entity potentially raises questions about the availability of those tax returns. but also the other piece that is imbedded in that story that doesn't make the headline, what i think is maybe potentially a bigger deal is that the new york attorney general is also reportedly seeking a criminal referral for michael cohen with regard to his taxes at the state level, his state taxes. that's how barbara underwood was able to flip the taxi king, which gave us, i think, basically most of the criminal charges against michael cohen already this week. if she is going to put the same kind of squeeze on cohen at the state level, nothing what he pled to at federal court will help and that will be a whole new level of hell for him. >> and as you have been pointing out this week, donald trump can't pardon his way out of new york state charges with any of these people, including himself. >> exactly, exactly. >> thank you, rachel. >> thanks, lawrence. >> here is

manhattan d.a. eyes criminal charges against trump organization. here's the lead. manhattan district attorney's office is considering pursuing criminal charges against the trump organization. and two senior company officials with michael d. cohen's hush money payment -- excuse me. considering pursuing criminal charges and two senior company officials in question, michael d. cohen's hush money payment to an adult film actress. the "times" goes on to say that would it center on how the trump organization accounted for its reimbursement for the $130,000 that mr. cohen paid to stormy daniels during the campaign. there is actually a second story that is in here as well. about halfway through the story, the "times," the reporter says. this as the manhattan district attorney cyrus vance considers opening the investigation i just described, in addition to that, the new york state attorney general's office has moved to open a criminal investigation into whether michael cohen has violated state tax law. that's an inquiry that would be unrelate to the federal tax evasion char

>> i think that 2018 was missing was the manhattan madam, remember, she came into sort of prominent inhe elliott spitzer, the former governor of new york. sometimes it's the 1980s and 1990s all over again. look, their relationship is described as that they've had ties. we don't know what these ties are. we don't know what the nature of the relationship is. he represent -- or she ran for office once. he was her campaign manager. she worked for him once. and so the fact that she voluntarily came forward, maybe either because she has exonerating evidence or because she sees as carrie was describing the sort of -- you know, the wagons circling around one person and she may have information. so, you know, mueller is a busy guy. he's not interviewing people that may not have something relevant. and the fact that this cast of characters that surrounds the trump campaign from 2016, you know everyone from, you know, stone to the, you know, stormy daniels to now the manhattan madam, you know, that's the nature of the people he hung out with. and that's a character quality that is represented in

the manhattan district attorney's office is looking at this, at manafort's transactions. the new york attorney general's office has been doing the same thing. they obviously put together a significant civil case with the trump foundation. i think all of this, both sides are pretty much consistent, that they need to wait for the investigations to wind down. it'll take time. >> for sure. interesting thing about this when we talk about a state investigation or state charges or a state conviction, the president does not have pardon power there, which leads me to bring in nbc's kelly o'donnell, who is on the north lawn of the white house. when we talk about pardons, we've now heard from rudy giuliani. our team spoke with his team, rudy giuliani and his legal team overnight, about the idea that the president is pressing pause on the pardon button, if you will. >> reporter: hallie, we know this is a power unique to the president, that he has enjoyed and has gotten some benefits from in certain instances, where he's intexercised it. freeing a woman on the behest of kim kardashian
