james comey, andrew mccabe, everybody knows about michael cohen. counsel for many years who was willing to do anything for donald trump, and then donald trump wants to bring the full wrath of the department of justice and the federal governdo michael cohen to keep him from exercising his first amendment rights. he saw to it presumably that michael cohen end up in solitary confinement for a couple of weeks. if he would do this thing to the director of the fbi, deputy director the fbi, his own private counsel, imagine what he would do to any ordinary citizen out there who dares to take a stand against donald trump. when he says dictator day one, everybody has to take him at his word. he means that ntu will feel as if he made his intentions clear all the more justified. let's not forget the supreme court in its roberts court wisdom has now said that the president of the united states has immunity from prosecution for actual crimes committed as president of the united states if they are perceived to be within the core functions of the presidency. under

joining me, michael cohen, donald trump's former fixer. he's also the host of the podcasts nicole, but and political beatdown and author of revenge, how donald trump weaponized the u.s department of justice against his critics michael, thank you for joining us. first of all, i'm just it's jarring for people to hear the detainees and inmates screaming out for help and taught me about commissaries and talking about what's going on there. i mean, you've gone from a new york city highrise, frankly, to jail during your federal trials. and i'm wondering, given the notoriety of yourself and certainly of duty, what do you think he's experienced in that facility is like its misery to say the least. first of all, there's few places like metropolitan detention center that are as dilapidated. and in need of desperate repair and a complete overhaul as mdc is his life, as he knew it. in the 40 $50,000,000 mansions waking up in the morning to and i'm going to make this up by the way violins playing for him. he has his chefs, he has his missou says he has

he argued that his former attorney, michael cohen, is responsible for the payments that he made and facilitated so the money could eventually get to adult film actress stormy daniels. trump had maintained during the trial that he trusted his lawyer and that the payments he made to michael cohen were in fact legal expenses. but, in total, in the end, he was found guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records. the sentencing now will have a november 26th, after the election. at the big take away here. we will send it back to you. >> sandra: nate foy on that for us. nate, thank you. >> john: back to jonathan turley now who joins us by phone. i got a couple of questions for you, because we were talking with kerri and with shannon about this. and that is, the motion to vacate the conviction, set to be decided on november 12th because of the supreme court case on presidential immunity. first of all, how do you think judge merchan will rule on that? shannon and kerri seem to think he wouldn't go for that. secondly, this is a state case, not a federal case. could trump pardon himself? you can't pa

now, combs' attorneys argued today the brooklyn jail where he is being held which once housed michael cohen and ghislaine maxwell had horrific conditions that were not appropriate for a pretrail detention. but tonight the judge was not persuaded, and now combs will remain behind bars with trial not likely to begin for at least a year and if convicted he faces a maximum sentence of life behind bars, lester. >> all right, chloe, thank you. >>> a terrible accident during a field trip to an apple orchard in wisconsin. a group of children and adults were on a wagon ride when one wagon lost control going downhill and abruptly overturned. 25 people were injured. at least one was air-lifted, but no deaths are reported. >>> in just 60 seconds u.s. intelligence sounding the alarm about foreign interference in the 2024 election. the stunning thing iranian hackers allegedly did with materials stolen from donald trump's campaign. nothing makes a gathering great like eggland's best eggs. they're just so delicious. with better nutrition, too. for us, it's eggs any style. as long as they're the best. eggla

that was done by a sleaze bag named michael cohen. he did the whole thing. you are allowed to have reliance on attorney. it is called reliance on attorney. you have a reliance on attorney. the attorney is allowed to do things. all it was was a nondisclosure agreement with somebody that said -- nothing happened, either way. i will add that. we have a statement, nothing happened. and he got a nondisclosure agreement. he did it on his own. the judge refused to allow us to use it as a defense, the attorney-client defense, which is very standard. other people have never heard you are not allowed to use it. but he's the one that did it. i was running for president and running the country. so all of these cases are a disgrace. but the case we had today downtown, i wish we could have mentioned the dress. got the idea from monica lewinsky. but it was negative, with not allowed to be used. i wish we could have mentioned other things. i wish we could have gone to cnn. what did anderson cooper tell her during the commercial? i would love to find that out. that is where

michael cohen went to jail for three years for the same thing. so, i think they'll seek it. i think the judge is likely to impose it. and then, you know given the gravity of that. >> they know they can't do that before the election. >> do you really think 41 days before is less. now it's 41 days before the election you impose that sentence and really look like you're tipping the scales. you're going to have both sides either way blaming the judge and prosecutors. the left is going to. >> let's be clear though. the left is not threatening the lives involved in these cases. one can imagine those calls the death threat would increase if judge marchand would deliver a sentence for trump three weeks after the election. >> if trump were to win, i could see plenty of people second guessing. well you allowed him to be a martyr. i can see that happening. both sides to blame, one is scared and one is not. do they really want to deal with that. i think that was just a factor likely in the manhattan d .a.'s's office decision to go along with a request. >> duncan you mentioned there's ot

michael cohen who is not as culpable went to jail for three years for the same thing. so i think the judge is likely to impose it. and then, you know, given the gravity of that. >> they know they can't do that before the election. >> you really think 41 days, less now. 41 days before the election, you will have both sides either blaming the judge or the prosecution. >> the left is not threatening the lies of those involved in the case. it would only increase if judge merchan handed down a jail sentence for donald trump. >> absolutely. one side is clearly unhinged people doing scary things. on the other hand, if trump were to win, i could see people second guessing well you allowed him to be a martyr. you made him a victim of political persecution. was this necessary for jail for something other prosecutors may not have brought? i think both sides are blaming. one is scary, one is not. do they really want to deal with that? i think that was at least a factor in the decision to go along with the request. >> you mentioned there are other outstanding business and the timin

southern district, a man he had appointed in 2020 after berman had prosecuted trump's former lawyer, michael cohenopened several other investigations of people and banks in trumps orbit. >> the cardinal rule is that partisan political concerns are not supposed to enter into any decision-making, and that rule was repeatedly violated. now, we managed to push back every attempt to interfere in our cases, and we were successful every time. but, it was difficult. 2 1/2 years of unrelenting pressure. >> 2 1/2 years. trump was constantly pushing for executions of his perceived enemies, including hillary clinton and john kerry, he said this publicly, it's not a scoop.'s attorney general, bill barr, also distorted and mischaracterized the mueller report on the campaigns russia context and he appointed john durham to investigate those fbi investigators who looked into trump and russia, an investigation which yielded two embarrassing acquittals for dirham. we have blocked so much of this out, but trump was constantly spending his time as president trying to manipulate the doj to do his bidding, to destroy an

michael cohen's office in new york is raided in early april of 2018. or fourth week of april in 2018. so he understood not only how to use it against people but what it meant to him because when he finds out, you know, when sessions is in the oval office and he finds out the special counsel is appointed, he says this is going to ruin my presidency. he understood the specter of criminality under himself. so that is something that he really weaponized well as a politician, that experience. the other thing that i think backed up why we had to do this story is let's say every person that he wanted investigated was guilty. let's say they had all committed crimes and he was really on top of things and had pointed it out. the reason a president is not supposed to talk about a criminal investigation is because he's a politician. and what it does is that it looks like his finger's on the scale. so even in those instances where there may have been merit to some of these things, there may have been something behind it, you cannot take it at face value because he

"given the unique facts and circumstances of this case, there's no reason why this defendant should be treated any differently than any other. it's not a decision this court make slightly, but it is a decision which, in this court's view, best advances the interests of justice." now, also at trump tower earlier today, the former president said that all of these cases against him come from the department of justice. he believes that they are all politically motivated. he maintained his innocence in this manhattan criminal case. he faces up to four years in prison, other legal experts

michael cohen was put back in prison when he refused to not publish a damning book about trump.k questions from that special counsel about all the conspiracy theories that trump had pushed about the clinton campaign. when you look at the totality of this, and you look at what trump tried to do behind closed doors, and the way he also tried to push the justice department publicly, those things ended up happening. what we were trying to say in these thousands of words that we published was that, sure, people say if he comes back, he might do this, but we are saying, it already happened. this has already happened. that can be used as a template to see how he would act if he came back. because we know that the guardrails that were there, or those people that tried to be guardrails in the first term, would certainly not be there in the second. >> mike, i guess the question is, well, there are many questions, but the key question here is, you talk about this a fair amount, what trump learned from his time in office, as you see, a lot of the things demanded in office, he got them, but

, i mean jeff berman, who is at the sdny, in terms of ordering prosecutions and interfering in michael cohens electoral defeat? >> yes. at end, there is a pattern of people that rationalize working for trump, they downplay the importance of trump or the danger of trump and then in the end they all sort of end up ruined or discredited. so, barr, i'm talking about barr breaking with trump in december of 2020 and publicly saying that there was not any evidence of widespread fraud and that trump had lost the election. trump -- barr was attacked by conservatives, but recently barr has endorsed trump. he said that, you know, that it was a reversal but he said now that he will vote for trump. so it is a mixed -- it is a mixed record. another group just quickly is the -- the ten or so senior officials that tried to resign when trump tried to make jeff clark attorney general. they made a mistake. they did not go public with the fact that trump tried to put clark in office. they kept that secret. and one of the them told me they didn't want to poke the bear. that they were afraid this they went public

it was negotiated in rooms around this building with mayor newsom at the time, and michael cohen and,erenced in the in the community benefits agreement from 2010. and it actually became part of a bunch of other agreements that the ccac and the other and the pac and other groups really argued for. and so the, you know, the fact that the city is unwilling to really enforce the workforce and housing funds in this agreement, especially when they did open up the community benefits agreement in 2019 with the last, major amendment, which was supposed t, you know, have alice griffith done in the next, in the next five years. the, the two biggest issues is both the community benefits to actually what everyone is talking about here is exactly what the signatories and a lot of the folks that are part of this care about is actually winning the jobs, delivering on the jobs, getting those moving right away and moving the housing as this was supposed to be a housing forward project. and candlestick has always been ready for the housing and it should be, you know, fast tracked. you have a letter befo
