it was the michael cohen idea. he mentioned his name at meetings. he said michael flynn, his personal opinion is a powerful man and he is the man to help you and provide us information to the president. >> reporter: now felix says he was at the dinner. the peace was discussed and mr. cohen said he would consider this an issue for michael flynn. that contradicts michael cohen. he was at the dinner and they didn't discuss peace and said it never got near them. we do see here is a public perception in the world of the trump white house, if you know somebody from his business past, you may be able to freelance the peace initiative. some welcome and anything, frankly, could bring peace, but others say that could be destroyed as the broader established state department dealing with complex issues like war. >> thank you.

it was michael cohen's first idea. he said listen. el flynn, for his personal opinion as most powerful man to support this idea who can help you and provide information to president trump. >> reporter: disagreement still about what was said about dinner. felix said peace was discussed and michael cohen said it was national security adviser flynn issue. perhaps he would take the plan. michael cohen was at the meeting, yes, but flatly denies discussing piece. calls this fake news and they never discussed peace. disagreement persists. here in kiev is the public perception because of the reporting on this and the claims and if you find somebody from donald trump's business past like his personal lawyer, you might over dinner in manhattan get that idea floated up to the national security adviser. back then, nienz niemichael fly. some say that is good news if you are trying to get peace in ukraine. bad news if you putin ve invest in the peace process. the question is where is the state department in all this? where are the long term u.s. cha

one is michael cohen. this is not the first time cohen's name has come up around back-channel talks involving russia. on trump's alleged connections, cohen was said to have met with officials back august. cohen tweeted the front page of his passport. i have never been to prague in my life. #fakenews. and then there's an american-born businessman and he later pled guilty to a stock manipulation scheme involving the mafia. he went on to serve as an fbi informant. no, you cannot make that up. sater worked with the president to develop the president's soho. he later became a senior adviser to donald trump himself printing up some very snazzy and official looking business cards with those big five letters on the front. but when trump was asked about sater in an interview, this was his response in 2013. >> i know who he is. >> but for a year, you stayed in bed with felix sater and he was connected with the mafia. >> when you have a signed contract, you can't just break it. i do have that big group of people wait

that's michael cohen to a reporter. now he's changed his story four times in the 36 hours this came out. now this is one of the circumstances where i say to myself, i don't know, maybe they were weirdly freelancing a peace deal. but now i'm like what's going on? >> it's a basic principle in law enforcement that straight stories are easy to keep straight. it's lies that are hard to keep together. and by the way, ivana trump never withdrew what she said. all she said was that when her husband raped her she didn't mean to imply that it was a crime. she never denied he tossed her around the room and violated her. the statement she wrote was quite clear at the time. but this is the bullying you see in what michael cohen did. the one of the reasons americans don't have a proper understanding of who donald trump is is the intimidation and the bullying, the non-disclosure agreement for people around trump. even volunteers had to sign them in some cases so americans aren't seeing who trump is but this is, in fact, a story that's

it was the michael cohen idea. he mentioned his name first in my meeting. he said, listen, michael flynn for his personal opinion is most powerful man who can really support this idea, who really support -- who can help you, who can provide his information to president trump. >> reporter: the white house flatly denies any contact with cohen or menko on this issue. russia annexed ukraine's crimea peninsula in 2014, then sent military help to the separatists in the country's east where the war drags on to this day. he hints his plan may have involved the lease of crimea to russ russia in exchange for russian troops leaving the east. michael cohen told cnn in a text mess alan, if this continued fake news narrative wasn't so ridiculous, i would be angered. i acknowledge that the brief meeting took place, but emphatically deny discussing this topic or delivering any document to the white house and/or general flynn. something i stated to the new york times. according to the times, cohen said he left the plan in a sealed envelope on the desk although denied deliver

michael cohen and dr. daryl stock with the national diversity coalition. we brought out a number of people in the black community and we're still in support going forward. >> you've been great. >> hi, mr. president. yes, i am as you know the former vice president of the wonderful charity that your son founded, the eric trump foundation and been with your family for eight years now, and i was an rnc speaker and will be landing with dr. carson at hud as one of the senior advisors and director of the office of public liaison. >> that's great. you did a fantastic job. thank you. >> i'm gerard robinson a resident fellow at the american enterprise institute and involved in the trump transition. >> ashley bell behind you and some others. >> ashley. >> good to be with you. i would help run the african-american outreach for your campaign. i'm willing to help you out at the state department. >> thank you very much. >> i'm tucker davis. i ran your campaign in west virginia. working for you. >> we did well in west virginia. >> coal miners love you. >> we love them, to

the white house, after giving that very account to "the new york times," the president's lawyer, michael cohen, subsequently spoke to "the washington post" on the same subject. when he spoke to the washington post about it, he denied giving it to michael flynn. "michael flynn speaking to the post on sunday acknowledged he left with the proposal in hand but he says he did not take the envelope to the white house and did not discuss it with anyone. he called suggestions to the contrary fake news. "i acknowledge that the meeting took place but i deny discussing this topic or delivering any documents to the white house and general flynn." that's weird in and of itself, right? either you did it or you didn't. you're the one who said you did it. "the times" says it's standing by its story. mr. cohen told "the times" in no uncertain terms that he delivered the proposal to the white house. that said, right after that, he told "the washington post" that he definitely did not deliver the proposal to michael flynn's office at the white house. so he either did or he did not. this isn't he said, she said.

michael cohen met with felix sater. who was born in russia and pled guilty to stock manipulation. andre artemenko, a member who is associated with pro-russian politicians. according to to the "new york times," after that meeting, cohen hand delivered property posed peace plan to the white house in a sealed envelope. the washington post says cohen told them while he left the meeting with a peace proposal in hand, he did not deliver it to the white house or discuss it with anyone. and for the record, cohen told nbc news, quote, i acknowledge that the brief meeting took place, but emphatically deny discussing this topic or delivering any documents to the white house or to general flynn. all right. so trump's personal lawyer is telling three different versions of this story to three different news outlets. and the white house says no one has talked about a peace proposal and no one has talked to himt all. david, welcome back, sir. >> good to be with you, chuck. >> so, first of all, what do you make of this story and as you just heard and i know you guys are dealing with the same thing

why haven't you shown the public not just the outside cover of michael cohen's pass court, donald trump's personal lawyer, but the inside pages so people can see where he went and when he went there. and thirdly, if you don't turn over the tax returns, it will be impossible to know whether the trump organization or donald trump personally in any way benefited from the 19.5% of rosneft, russian state oil company which somehow disappeared. >> do we have evidence -- >> it's a question. we don't have -- we don't have -- >> what makes you -- >> we know 19.5% of rosneft was sold to a mystery buyer or was passed on to a mystery recipient. there are questions about that that have to be answered before you can say there's nothing here to -- >> okay. politico reports an effort to plug the many leaks coming out of the white house. here they are. sean spicer held an emergency meeting last week, "staffers were told to dump their phones on a table for a phone check. to prove they had nothing to hide. spicer also warned the group of more problems in news of the phone checks and meeting about leaks was l

but he says cohen insisted that be given to national security adviser michael flynn who resigned 24 days kplent comments on sanctions on russian. >> did you mention that end up on michael flynn's desk? >> no. he mentioned his name first in my meetings, he said listen, michael flynn most powerful man who can help you who can provide information to president trump. >> reporter: the white house denies c denies contact with them on this issue. in 2014 then sent military help to the separatist to the east where the war drags on. he hints his plan involved russian. he told cnn of text message that continued fake news wasn't so ridiculous i would be anger. i acknowledge a brief meeting took place but deny delivering documents to white house or general flynn. something i stated to the new york. according to the times, he left envelope on his desk. the white house says it has no record of receiving such a document. mr. flynn did not respond to request for comment. both have rejected the plan. he has been expelled from has to hurry off to meet president, although he denies it. he promises to retur

now you have michael cohen playing secretary of state with ukraine and russia? state in the middle east? this is a tough powerful, strong guy. at what point does he go into the oval office and say, i'm either your secretary of state or your son-in-law is your secretary of state. which is it, mr. want? >> for all of the reasons that we were excited about rex tillerson, a commanding businessman with a really long successful track record of working in countries just globally, at the same time, he's just not going to take it that long, joe. and i think that you look at the state department right now and it's essentially a ghost town. they haven't given a press briefing in a month and no one can really speak on the record for the state department. you have tillerson going to, you know, the g-10 summit late so he had to stay at a sanatorium outside of where the actual event was. it seems everything is done on the fly and he is being completely shut out of these major visits with the prime minister of canada, with japan. it is not looking good for rex tillerson and i j

the diversity coalition was founded by michael cohen. he works for president trump. president try. he is jewish-american. he formed the awesome coalition with the millions and millions of volunteers at that across the country. russian americans for trump. darrell scott. the list goes on and on. because we saw this is totally preposterous. to try to create the lie. they converted to judaism by choice. i just want to say this also. in the trump organization and mister trump's friends many people who are of the jewish faith here something that is very interesting also. going back in 2015 when president trump announced to run for president there is absolutely nothing out there that anybody can come forward saying anything racially derogatory in this land. and i'm sick and tired of it. the diversity coalition stands with the president trump if they strike at president trump you will hit millions of us. we are awaking need that sleeping giant. we watch the coverage of this. the perpetrator for the crime. isn't he really is supportive of israel. absolutely. we saw the awesome meeting he h

it was by michael cohen who was a lawyer. i am an american. came here when i was seven years old and i said watch this. i was not a link between the trump and therussian government.i had no contact with anyone in the russian government . i don't have the most obvious notion. i have no business interest in ukraine. clearly, there's a lot of speculation. a lot of articles. people out there are saying, where there is smoke and there is fire but there has to be something to this. >> unquestionable. every country in the world would hope to influence the election of countries who politics matter to them. the united states regularly declares who they want to not lead countries and russia since the 20s has been trying to influence the elections. what we don't have now is the evidence that russia itself did influence the outcome. here we are trying to assess whether trump was involved in something that we don't even know that was a real thing. it questions his viability to be the president of the united states. he wasn't rightfully elected. >> any sens

president trump's personal lawyer, michael cohen meat member of the ukrainian parliament last month toce. it could give russia long-term control over territory that it seized in 2014 and lead to the lifting of sanctions over moscow. they confirmed that meeting took place but denied he discussed the peace proposal with anybody in the white house. >>> the u.s. vice president mike pence has reiterated the commitment to nato. the vice president is due to arrive at the european counsel within the next couple of minutes and hadley is with us from brussels. what do you think pence's message will be this time around after pretty mexed messages with regards to support of nato? . >> reporter: it's a very good question. essentially we heard recommitment to the nato alliance. the vice president was firm on standing behind nato. and questions on what the commitment to europe will be like going forward. >> to ask for more defense spending across europe and canada, especially because 28 allies, twal28 heads of state a government agreed to do exactly that. the good news is that in 2015, we stopped the

i'm told that michael cohen never spoke to the president about this. while "the new york times" is standing by their reporting that this envelope with the peace plan did make to it the desk of michael flynn, that it did not. >> there's also reporting about this folks of immigrant officials that will round up the illegals. what do you think about that? >> it's not a security force. it's bolstering existing forces what is being looked at right now, a couple of implementation memoranda that came in friday. this is the plan for dhs and ice and border protection to put in place the provisions of the executive orders that the president signed on the 25th of january. they would include -- the president talked about this at least in the election campaign. adding an additional 10,000 immigrations and custom enforcement agents and 5,000 border patrol agents and prioritize the removal of criminal illegal aliens, this is one of the executive orders the president signed on the 25th. it would prioritize the removal of people convicted of criminal offense, have been c

we're the larmgest diversity coalition in the history of a republican candidate founded by michael cohen. a jewish american for trump, and his survivor -- his dad was a holocaust survivor. we have a lot of different facets. over 1 million-plus actively involved. i want to put more light on this historical day. i talked to alveda king earlier on the phone as i went to the studio. she was very emotional, the fact that finally there's a republican president or president that has really touched the nerve and the hearts of the american people and as he said in his inauguration. it's profound. and to have dr. ben carson being over hud and all the things we need to accomplish in our inner cities. february 28th, meet with all the hbc to talk about dire needs in our hbc colleges. my good friend omarosa who has the president's ear on a lot of things we need to accomplish in the african-american community. >> on that point, how will you hold the president accountable to follow through on those promises he made on the campaign trail, saying things like to inner city african communities, largely in f

among those pushing, the president's personal lawyer michael cohen and one of the president's businesss. the men told the paper they have not yet spoken to the president about it. here's vice president pence speaking on the russian-ukraine relationship in munich over the weekend. >> with record to ukraine we must hold russia accountable and demand that they honor the minsk agreements. >> meanwhile the administration is still being pressed over allegations that the trump campaign has repeated contacts with russian intelligence during the elections. >> can he say definitively that nobody on his campaign, nobody that he's been associated with had any contacts with any russian agents? >> no. first of all, the answer is no and we don't know of any, any contacts with russian agents. i know what the intelligence committees in the house and the senate were told by the fbi. and i know what i was told and what i will tell you is that story was total ba lony. >> can the americans be confident that the congress can investigate this president if necessary? >> i hope so and i believe to. more hope t

what michael cohen was doing. what felix sader was doing, what roger stone was doing.fort who was in trump tower. what were these aides that were inside of the trump campaign and now some of them are in the administration, what ties do they have to russia, what communications did they have throughout the campaign? that is what the news media who was banned from the gaggle this week had been reporting on that the white house doesn't like. and so to rick's point, i think it is a preemptive strike. it's to undermine the news media before essentially the other shoe drops. so to me it indicates that there's something there they don't want us to find out and that's why we need to stay in the streets, stay in the town halls, pushing back on congress, because that is where the checks and balances are going to come from. congress needs to do a transparent, independent and bipartisan investigation. it should be a special prosecutor. it should not be jeff sessions, the attorney general, who was a loyal trump ally and was inside of this particular campaign. and so the people actua

so many diverse groups representing from the diversity coalition, who was founded by michael cohen, who for president trump and pastor scott. we have so many diverse groups from all over the country. there's millions signed up as we grow to embrace this new president. >> and what efforts will you undertake, though? we hrd president trumpalk about words that he used to call us part of the republican -- the conservative, the gop coalition. but in terms of actually getting a broader swath of americans and given the tensions that you've seen recently, how do you do it? >> well, for example, historically unfortunately, the old establishment didn't do a really good job reaching out to guys to look like me until it takes a president donald trump come here, reach in, grab america by their arms and say come on, i got you no matter what color you are, what religion you are, where you're from. he loves everyone. he keeps saying we, we, we, not me, me, me. we represent all different states, haitian americans down in florida shouts out to everyone down there to hispanic americans trump, we had a hug

for him in general because his daughter is jewish,is son-in-law is jewish, his main employees, michael cohen, who is jewish, whose father was a holocaust survivor, this lie that keeps going up trying to label the president as not being compassionate about that is totally false and preposterous. i wish the american people would just buy in, stop buying into this lie about the president. >> what's the lie? what's the lie, bruce, what's the lie? >> well the fact that they're trying to, you keep asking the president about denouncing. he's denounced it a thousand times. >> he has not denounced it a thousand times. >> his own baby daughter is jewish, sir. how much more do you need to -- >> that's a separate issue. but to say that he's denounced it a thousand times that's not true. in fact web given the opportunity just last week, we saw what happened. he did finally do it today, but to say that's been doing it over and over that's factually inaccurate. >> the president said to you that he has denounced it many, many times before. i've heard it, i've seen him. craig, i've been supporting this presi

michael cohen and dr. daryl scott and helped to bring out a huge number in the black community with respect to the vote. we're still happy to be in support as we go forward. >> you've been great. >> and lynn -- >> hi, mr. president. yes, i am, as you know, the former vice president of the wonderful charity that your son founded, the eric trump foundation. i've been with your family for about eight years now, and i will -- i was an rnc speaker, and i will be land with dr. carson at hud as one of the senior advisers, director of the office of public liaison. >> that's great. you did a fantastic job. >> thank you. >> gerard rob onson. a resident fellow at the american enterprise institute and proud to be the leader of the education policy for trump. >> ashley bell behind you and some others. >> mr. president, i'm ashley bell. help run african-american outreach for your campaign. i'm glad to support omarosa. >> a star at the inauguration. >> i'm tucker davis. ran your campaign in west virginia. working for you

cohen. is the choice of lieutenant general mcmaster a sign of studying the ship after the turbulent tenure of michael flynn? mr. cohen: i think it is a great choice. like secretary of defense mattis he is battle and book hardened. he is a man of action and thought. having him as national security adviser, and secretary of defense matus, and secretary of state tillerson, that is a combination we have not seen ,ince the days of school cough scholz, and weinberger. the president needs to have credit of picking people in those positions of that stature. laura: you're just back from assuredwere allies that they were saying the commitment to nato is unswerving? heard the they lyrics, but they did not hear the music. they are unsure. they liked what they heard. they're grateful they had the vice president, and the secretary of defense and homeland security, but they were not sure they were speaking for the president or thinking for well.esident as do their personal views nearer those of the president? -- of mirror those of the president. they are unsure. they worry that we are in favor of nato and the eu. t

michael weiss of the daily beast, olivier o ma honey, u.s. bureau chief of paris match, melik kaylay for "the wall street journal," forbs and "politico," and jerome cohen, a professor at nyu law school and a leading american expert on chinese law and government. i'm pleased to have them all at this table. welcome. let me start with you, michael weiss, and this concept of america first. the slogan that donald trump used repeatedly during the course of the campaign and then of course during his inauguration as wellment and i know from speaking to friends and colleagues of mine in europe, it sends a shiver in europe. you cover the middle east. how are arab nations viewing that phrase? what do they make of it? >> when we say arab nations i think it's important to distinguish he rab governments or regimes to the arab population. i covered syria for six years of this conflict. they believe it has been america first up until now. this is why they cannot account for why bashar. >> not a change in policy. >> not for them. but what's interesting now is you are seeing this strategic realignment in the region, particularly among israel, jordan, saudi arabia, qatar

then you follow into 2008 and him trump and michael cohen set up an affliction. they were trying to do a reality show based in russia. that had to be approved by putin even just to move forward in the initial stages. so there's no way that this guy fe dorks re who is a fighter of those would be able to fight or consider to fight if putin did not approve it. so if you have these different links to people, especially with trump junior, i think, you're either a terrible businessman or you're doing something involving oil or gas, going over there six times and not closing any business deals. i'm pretty sure that after the second time trump senior would have said stop going there. it's nonsense to think they're not making any money over there or they're not actually doing any business deals. i think redefining the basic sense of he's making this money -- another thing i want to touch on, the person who bought the florida state for $100 million also bought a new york city penthouse for $88 million from him. and i believe that was from his daughter but in the florida es

michael hmichael cohen and dr. darryl scott. we're happy to be in support. >> thank you. you've been great. thank you. and lynn? >> hi, mr. president. yes, i am, as you know, the former vice president of the wonderful charity that your son founded, the eric trump foundation. i've been with your family for about eight years now, right, jared? i was an rnc speaker and i will be landing with dr. carson at hud as one of the senior advisers and director of the office of public liaison. >> that's great. you did a fantastic job. thank you. >> thank you. >> mr. president, my name is gerard robinson, a resident fellow at the american enterprise institute. i was proud to be the leader of the education policy team for the trump transition. >> thank you. >> some others behind you. >> mr. president, good to be with you, i'm from gainesville. chairman priebus called me to help run the african-american outreach for your campaign. i'm glad to support omerosa to be here. >> i'm tucker davis. i ran your campaign in west virginia. >> we did well in west virginia. >> the miners love you. >>

michael cohen and dr. with the national diversity coalition helped to bring out a huge number in the black community with respect to the vote. still happy to be in support. >> you've been great, thank you. thank you. lynn -- >> hi, mr. president. yes i ams awe know the former vice president of the wonderful charity your son founded at trump foundation. >> right. >> i've been with the with eight years. was rnc speaker. i will be landing with dr. carson at hud as one of the senior advisors, director of the office of public liaison. >> that's great. you did a fantastic job. >> thank you. >> mr. president, i'm gerard robinson, resident fellow at american enterprise institute. i was proud to be the leader of the education policy team for trump transition. >> thank you. >> thanks a lot. >> ashley bell, behind you, some other. >> ashley. >> mr. president, good to be with you. chair priebus helped run african-american outreach for your campaign. glad to support omarosa. glad to be here. helping you out at the stat

now let's get back to general jack keane because we have news that rump's personal lawyer, michael cohend-delivered a plan to lift sanctions on russia, hand-delivered that plan to the former national security adviser, general flynn, just a week before general flynn resigned. general keane, come back in with the big picture, please, because it seems like there's some stuff going on in the background that implies an overall big deal with the russians. is that accurate? >> i don't think it's accurate at all. i mean, what we have here is a story, front page story above the fold by "the new york times", to be sure, on something that we don't really have evidence of. and, listen, inside government, inside the national security apparatus that president trump has, i'm talking about secretary of state, secretary of defense, the cia, the nsc itself, there will always be disagreements over policy issues and also sometimes over execution. i personally think that is good government. and to suggest because a lawmaker in ukraine gave a lawyer who president trump has worked with a piece of paper suggest

. >> this is what birthed the national diversity coalition it was founded by michael cohen who is jewishhis father is the survivor -- a holocaust survivor. we have a lot of deep roots in the coalition that grew over 1 million plus signups past the campaign and all the way through his presidency. it's a lie that they tried to paint to make this president to be out something that he is not. we are here to defend him, steve, to the end. steve: so at every turn the playbook against donald trump is call him a racist. call him an anti-semite, right? >> that's correct. this is ongoing, ongoing. i have dealt with this thousands of times all over many, many times on every show. they never bring any good policy or dialogue. they always start off the set with some race or some garbage. steve: you look at his personal history, his daughter converted to judaism. you know. >> exactly. steve: donald trump through ivanka and jared kushner a kosher wedding. that doesn't sound like anti-semite to me. >> no. it's not. that's why it's -- like i said, it's crazy. and we will fight to the end, steve, you know

with michael weiss, jerome cohen, olivier o ma honey and melik kaylay. >> they are a little bewilderedout the economic impact. they see it has certain advantages to them, i mean trump already made sure that he would kill the tpp, i was our attempt to integrate east asian pacific countries into our orbit. and we just handed that over to the chinese for how long, it's not clear. but they are worried about other aspects of the economy. he could make a lot of trouble

cohen delivering directly to the offices of michael flynn a sealed envelope that contains a peace plan for ukraine that would need russian sign off. mr. cohen has said, backtracked on whether or not it was delivered. what do you know about it? >> i'm not familiar with the plan. giving a source of the report i have to have a little bit of skepticism because i think there's a fake news phenomenon. i knew general flynn. he said we are open to outsiders, open to people who have good suggestions. remember the echo chamber then rhodes was so proud about? if there are people who come up with good suggestions to stop bloodshed, remember thousands have died in this situation in crimea. i'm not familiar with the plan or if it was delivered by people who have good ideas will be listened to. >> james: does the trump white house regard the annexation of crimea by russia as a done deal? >> i think if you look at the statements of the u.n. ambassador and the president, we have significant issues with how russia is behaving. what is this factually? what occurred in crimea is the breaking of a 70 year

tamara cohen from sky news, your predecessor michael gove, said it is an inconvenient truth that thereany people in prison and too many of them are there for too long. do you agree and if so who shouldn't be injailand who do you agree and if so who shouldn't be injail and who could be let out ofjail more quickly? as i made very clear at the end of my speech, it is desirable to have a lower number of people in prison but we have to do it in the right way. we have two intervened before people end up committing crimes that lead to prison hence why i want to see more mental health treatment requirements, more drug orders. and we have to do better at stopping the cycle of people leaving prison, and half of them committing a crime within a year. that is the way that we will lower the prison population, but there is no quick fix magic wand that we can race just to do that it will take hard work and effort. channel 4 news. not fake news. a people killed themselves in prison last year, dean saunders was one of them, electric you did in chelmsford. the ombudsman, the inquest jury chelmsford. the

document that has surfaced, mike cohen is a personal lawyer in private life to donald trump said he didn't put it on the desk of the recent national security director michael flynn, however, your paper said it did. what are the people around trump doing, doing the work, flaking for, working for vladimir putin? this thickens the stew beyond what is possible, it really looks like they're working together and i shouldn't say the people, but vladimir putin himself. >> who put the letter on the desk? it a good detail. but look at the last week. on tuesday the "times" breaks a story saying the trump campaign was in constant contact with the russian intelligence. friday comey briefs the senate intel committee and people on the committee come out of that committee like ghosts and rubio says, you know, it's going to be an investigation and we're doing it and the demand letter, the freeze the documents letter comes out that same day. this is all happening in a week, right? and then on sunday senator graham is at a conference in germany says that 2017 is going to be the year of kicking russia's butt. so there's obviously a lot of facts on the ground here and a huge a
