mark preston, over a barrel, how concerning is this. >> i think it's very concerning.ier. he hasn't moved off that. this wasn't bruce ohr's dossier. he acted as a conduit to move information back to the fbi. you know nobody in america knows who bruce ohr is. nobody knows who he is. it's interesting how donald trump goes in and reach into the andles of the justice department and troy to talk about collusion or the dark state or how everyone is against him. it's not a very winning strategy. >>s a justice reporter, as mark says not well-known outside of the justice department. based on all of your reporting has he done anything to warrant the president's repeated criticism of him and does that strategy work? >> wolf bruce ohr as sole sin at least based off everything we know now and see he had all of the contacts with christopher steele, the author of the infamous trump russia dossier that obviously agrievous the president so much. but as mark noted he reported the contacts to the fbi which is what you would hope and expect he would do. and trump's allies on capitol hill

mark preston, for decades he's been part of the trump organization, worked the way up to becoming thecial officer. how much does weisselberg know about what's going on within trump's business? >> he knows enough that he decided he was going to go and ask for immunity from the federal prosecutors and clearly he knows something. we often talk about a one-two punch in politic that is will take out a candidate. what we saw this week is donald trump got a one-two-three punch in politics. michael cohen flip. david pecker, good friend who was doing catch and kill stories flip. and then now weisselberg as you said has decided to work. this is why it's so important to try to work with prosecutors. a couple of things. one, he did trump's taxes so he knows where the money is, oversaw the charity. we know all the problems with the charity. he's also the only family must be a trustee of the president's trust. talk about where all the bodies are buried and the money is hiding, he knows. >> if pecker knows this much and if michael cohen knows this much, allen weisselberg knows a whole lot more. >> s

mark preston, the president hasn't gotten the funding for the border wall and mexico not paying for thatorder wall as he promised often in the campaign. the dreamers, all caught in limbo right now. is this politics in advance of the phd terms to energize the base on an immigration-related issue? >> you can look at just about every one of president trump's tweets and see a political play on his part and many ways, you know, while he talks about policy, he uses twitter to try to energize the base to get them behind something. so in this case, specifically as all of these other news is swirling around him, the mueller investigation, manafort on trial, gates testifying, don jr., you know, they're basically acknowledging that he went there, the president himself now acknowledging going there to get the information. that's okay. we often said, wolf, that donald trump had a dog whistle and it was a little whistle to blow to send a signal out to the base and mostly racial overtones and it's really a bull horn at this point and exactly what he is doing right now. >> everybody stand by. there's mo

and don is an excellent guy. >> mark preston, everything by the book. >> well, that might be a bridge too far, right? there is a level of authenticity honestly, all kidding aside, that president trump seems to lack. clearly he knew that -- or eventually knew that don mcgahn had spoke to robert mueller, but what we have learned from our own reporting, jim, as you know is that he didn't know that it was for that long. he didn't know -- president trump didn't know it was for 30 hours. even rudy giuliani came out himself and said they didn't really know what don mcgahn told robert mueller about president trump. nor do we. so we've got to be very careful. what we do know, though, that's a pretty sticky situation to be in if you're don mcgahn as the white house counsel that has to go and provide 30 hours of testimony to a special prosecutor. >> april, of course you're in the white house and have been covering this administration for a long time. it is a long list of people very close to this president who we know has spoken to federal prosecutors in new york but also robert mueller here. wh

i want to go now to our senior political analyst mark preston white house kernt for american urban niktsz april ryan, former assistant to george w. bush scott -- and former dnc communications director maria cardona. april, i want to start with the numbers john just went through. more than $6 million in spending. it's a 5-1 in favor of republicans who have held the seat of course for 35 years. why is this one race so important? >> it's ohio. it's a battleground state. but most importantly, one of the reasons why it's so important, it's some of the heartland of america. you have people there who are grassroots, who are in manufacturing. you have all types of communities in the state of ohio. but when you get to this piece, when you have all of this money spent and you have a president going down and you have democrats -- and i've talked to some democrats in ohio. they said republicans are going to lose. and for this president if that is the case, and they're saying it's not about a blue wave. this democrat from ohio -- it's not about a blue wave. it's about the fact that people are tired of

seth waxman, criminal defense attorney and former federal prosecutor and cnn political analyst, mark preston. mark, let's start with the politics of this. i feel like it's more than the legal side of this at this point. no offense, seth. because it does seem like more of a pr strategy right now than a legal one. what is rudy guiliani up to, mark? >> he's doing a couple of things. one is, he's continuing to try to create an incredible amount of white noise around the situation, try to bring doubt into this investigation. if you heard him over and over again, saying, look, mueller has all of the information. if he wants to, you know, pursue something as a president, then he should do so. what's wrong with that logic and that thinking is that mueller isn't -- it's not his goal to try to go out and find if donald trump did something wrong. that isn't his goal. his goal is to find out if there was any collusion in -- you know, with russia and in between the campaign, as well as what other things happened around that. so what you are hearing from the trump folks and the trump supporters is they're

let's talk about this with mark preston, also with me john av n avlon, senior political analyst.'m trust innered because a second before i came back on the president tweeted again so i'm tried to read that and intro you. the president just tweeted, quote, michael cohen pleaded guilty to two counts of campaign finance violation that are not a crime. president obama had a big campaign finance violation and it was easily settled. marveg? >> federal prosecutors in the southern district of new york thought otherwise that it was a crime that michael cohen engaged in hush payments to help trump's campaign. that's a fact and what we're seeing from president trump seems to be he's sending a message to paul manafort in his tweets of support and understanding. but manafort hasn't worked with federal prosecutors. he refuses to cooperate. michael cohen has decided to cooperate. h that's bad for donald trump. >> he just said what michael cohen pleaded guilty to is not a crime. if it were not a crime michael cohen would not be facing years in prison so there's that. >> there's there that which

mark preston, you spent a lot of time on the hill.-- here's the honor guard approaching the loader there with his casket. there are a lot of folks in this town, democrat and republican, who had admiration for senator mccain. >> yes. you know, they were, jim. as we watch, this is a very sad moment for the mccain family, but i'm trying to take a little bit of good out of it, a little bit of happiness. i have to tell you, the past couple of years, the divisiveness we have seen in this country and the anger and really all being inflamed by politics, and then this week we've seen this outpouring of support for somebody who not only gave his life when it comes to mentally, he gave his body to the country, shot down and came back. he learned to forgive those who inflicted that pain upon him when he was a prisoner of war. and then on capitol hill he was somebody who was able to forge a deal. now, i'm not going to pretend john mccain wasn't difficult to work with because he was very -- he was a hard guy to deal with. if he didn't like what you

. >>> joining me now, ross garber, and mark preston. as we look at all of this -- go back to whether truth is truth. >> can't wait. >> you have been preparing lines for this. the white house was taken by surprise with this reporting about don mcgahn. how concerned should the president be if at all? >> let me say this. we have known for a long time that mcgahn has been cooperating to some extent. i think what was probably surprising over the weekend is the extent, the number of times that he went in and probably how little the white house knew about it. those things alone, i think, the white house should be very concerned about. the notion that the white house counsel, the senior lawyer for the presidency, was in cooperating with federal investigators, that the president and the chief of staff and others around the president don't know what he said, that is troubling. i have represented a lot of public officials. i have never seen something like that. >> it's remarkable. it obviously struck a nerve with this president. we can tell that b

let's bring in our analyst, mark preston. sessions is now fighting back and he's publicly once again humiliated by the president but now he's at least fighting back. >> we saw this earlier at the beginning of the year but your point, the amount of criticism that he has taken from his boss, public criticism, i don't know how many people could actually take it. i think what we saw what happened today was two things. the president opens the door to allow sessions to do so. it is not just sessions, it is everybody under jeff session's roofs. this is somebody who's looking towards his legacy and what his place is going to be. this was someone that's very accomplished before donald trump. why he has not until this point? i am i am under the theory to start thinking about this, republican leaders on capitol hill are asking him please stay where you are, we need to get this supreme court justice through. >> it is an important point. jeffery toobin, he's been a freak of the president's attack and criticism. take a look at some of the

and our senior political and list mark preston is here. good to have you here this morning. let's dive into that one line in the kremlin's response here. because, of course, they said, no, no, no, we had nothing to do with it. then they added this. this is the spokesman for putin. from the u.s., we hear there was not any meddling in the election. well, i mean, you know, the president has questioned it over and over again as well. >> that's the only thing that i can infer from looking at that, that he is -- when he refers to the u.s., he is referring to president trump. i don't know, of course. if you go back a couple of weeks, the entire agency was at the podium at the white house laying out clearly what they believed, not just the intel community but department of homeland security, dod, all have said that russia continues to find ways to try to interfere with our electoral process and that they have plans in place and they are working to combat them. one is left to believe when you look at the statement -- this is a classic denial, that he must be referring -- you could as

. >> it's significant, mark preston, that the president when he walked down the stairs of air force one, he went over to reporters, made a strong statement in support of paul manafort, found guilty on eight counts, felony courts today in virginia, but he didn't say anything about michael cohen at all. this is a president who's usually not shy about speaking out but he avoided anything in response to shouted questions from reporters about michael cohen. >> right, and he made these comments a few moments ago. and we were all struggling to hear what he was saying. he was very focused on manafort. he would not answer any questions about cohen. when you look at what's happening right now, we have to look at the totality of the situation. you have the former campaign chairman for the president of the united states, somebody who was instrumental in making sure that he got the nomination in cleveland who has been indicted, or has been convicted on eight counts of tax evasion and fraud. you have the personal lawyer, somebody who we all know to be very close to donald trump, who has pled guilty t

shovelling coal into the fire and as you said, we are marking 50 years since the very last scheduled regular steam engine service came to an end. that was from prestonle to travel behind. it is the romance of steam, it really is. half a century on, stea m it really is. half a century on, steam trains are still pulling in the crowds. young and old and of the 4—legged variety too. the crowds. young and old and of the 4-legged variety too. there isjust something about the steam engine especially, the noise, the smell, and certainly if you are of an age that you remember them the first time around, just nostalgic, really. my little ones love thomas the tank engine and steam trains are something that they have never ever seen before. i think that they are quite comforting, it is quite relaxing watching the environment around. i think we just have access to these sorts of things that any more. is a different world. we are obsessed with technology. it is nice to go back and just experience it, especially with children now, i can't imagine what it will be like in the future for them, but we have these treasures that we can hold onto to let them experience.
