manu raju, impressive you thought to ask it. thank you for being with us. >>> new developments surrounding michael cohen, the president's personal lawyer and sometimes fixer. we learned overnight that a different lawyer for the president has had conversations with the president, warning him that michael cohen could flip. this comes as the president refuses to rule out firing rod rosenstein, the deputy attorney general, trying to push out the special counsel robert mueller. kaitlan collins live in florida, near where the president is staying. kaitlan? >> reporter: well, john it was a yes or no question really that was posed to the president yesterday -- >> i hate to interrupt you. i want to go to celina, texas, now. we'll listen to firefighter andrew needham who was on the southwest flight. >> they need to be back to their friends, some normalcy, so they're there. but, you know, we have all the glory to god, just being here right now. the ability to speak before you all, god put me in this position for a reason. he gave me this p

manu thanks very much. >>> more on this. democratic congressman joaquin castro of texas is joining us a member of the intelligence and foreign affairs committees. you do you believe these are disqualifying. >> if the allegations are true, i think his nomination should be withdraw and the president should nominate somebody else to head up this department. >> do you think he should be able to defend himself in public confirmation hearings? >> i think if the president wants to go forward with the nomination and dr. jackson wants to go forward, then sure they ought to hold the hearingch but he himself knows whether these things are true and if they are true, then he should step aside now rather than going through the public spectacle and delaying putting somebody up there at veterans' affairs. >> he was the white house physician during the bush administration, during the obama administration and why are we only hearing about these allegations now? >> that is a great question, wolf. i think that is a question that needs to be ans

manu raju is joining us now from capitol hill. manu, i chuckle because it should -- i don't think it should be a hard question to answer, but welcome to today. what do these republicans tell you? >> reporter: republican after republican could not answer that simple question about whether they would endorse the president for re-election. even i'm talking about not just people who have been skeptical about the president, but even people who have been in line with the president's agenda, pushing through the agenda, just saying outright they don't know if he's going to run, they don't know what his -- what the world is going to look like, and they also just wanted to see what the rest of the field would look like if there are any primary challengers. a far different cry than years past when it was typically pro forma for a member of congress to automatically endorse a sitting president of their own party, but these days they're different. take a listen. are you prepared at this point to endorse the president for re-election in 2020? >

manu, good reporting. thank you very much. let's talk about all the breaking news, including president trump's first comments on the stormy daniels controversy. joining us now, congressman adriano espaillat, a democrat who serves on the foreign affairs committee. congressman, first of all, do you believe president trump when he says he didn't know about that $130,000 payment to stormy daniels? >> it's hard to believe that he didn't know. but, nevertheless, he said he didn't know, he sent to his attorney, and his signature is not in the document, in the agreement. and that then leads to a question on whether or not he was truly a party to the agreement. and that will play out in whatever legal proceedings are ahead of us. >> do you think there's a role for congress, should congress be investigating this $130,000 payment? >> i believe so. i believe that it was done prior to the election. it was done during campaign season. and it was hush money to quiet somebody up. and i think that there's a role for congress to play in looking

let's bring in our senior congressional correspondent, ma manu raju.ou put together a picture of the train wreck. it was really that bad? >> it absolutely was, wolf. it got increasingly contentious all the way to the better end and culminating in this very contentious interview with the former trump campaign manager, corey lewandowski. in his first appearance before the committee, lewandowski would not answer questions about matters after he left the campaign in june, 2016. he did agree to come back for a second interview. in that hearing, things got rather heated. democrats tried to press him on a range of topics, about what he knew about the firing of james comey, his conversations with the president, and the white house's misleading response last year to revelation that's donald trump jr. met with russians at trump trump tower during the campaign. he flatly refused to answer, and he used rather colorful language to make his point saying to democrats, including jackie spear of california, "i'm not going to answer your "f'ing questions," and used a sw

manu ginobili is king. 40 years old and a bad man. spurs up by as many as 17.ant had 34. the lead was down to two. la marcus aldridge and the bank is open. 22 for aldridge and they force game five back at oracle. >> it's tough to get off to a start like that and think you will bounce back. none theless, there were several play where is we lost the game and it wasn't just the first. >> have you seen a box score like this. we lost by 13 points, weird game all in all. >> they're made the playoff and it is spurs are great. a great coach team and they'll compete and play with a lot of pride. you give them easy looks and they get going. >> the giants won the first series of the year, taking two of three in anaheim. brandon belt set a record and not dimaggio, but it's a record. bell facing jaime barria. this is a record 21-pitch at-bat that lasted 12 minutes and 45 seconds. we cut it down to 19 seconds. they started keeping this stat in 1988 it. ends with a flyball to right field. up in the fifth and a more modest nine-pitch at-bat. now homering four straight games. t

>> with me now, manu raju. let me start with you. in washington you're talking to these committee leaders. they're reviewing these allegations. they want to know at the end of the day are they true? >> absolutely. they're very concerned about these allegations. they don't know if they are true but they do know whistleblowers have come before this committee alleging some very serious concern about ronny jackson's behavior while at the white house medical unit, concerns about excessive drinking, concerns about his mishandling of prescription drugs, as well as a toxic work environment, according to two people. but the question that the members have is are they true? they doesnn't know that yet and they don't know why that didn't come out initially, if the white house did vet this nomination, why didn't it raise red flags before proposing this to capitol hill? the leaders of this committee announced today they're going to delay this nomination indefinitely. >> because, quite frankly, i don't have enough information to say this is true, t

you smoke with leaders, manu, what is his response? they brought up his doling of prescription drugs and a toxic work environment. two whistleblowers have come and told this information to the senate veterans affairs committee and they include at least one person who is a current associate of dr. jackson's and another person who a former associate of dr. jackson's. i should caution, the senators are not sure whether or not these allegations are accurate but they are troubling enough they decided to take the extraordinary move and delay a wednesday confirmation hearing over his nomination. the leaders made very clear they want more records and they want to look into this further. >> because, quite frankly, i don't have enough information to say this is true, this isn't true, this is true. we're continuing the vetting process and we'll get to the bottom of everything. >> reporter: are you concerned about what you have learned so far? >> if it turns out to be true. >> mr. jackson and myself and everybody in congress needs to take a deep b
