just how much more does michael flynn have to say?> i keep saying that answer over and over again, but we don't know. i was never of the mind that all of this was done. there are just too many moving pieces, there are still too many unanswered questions, particularly around roger stone. i don't think we could be expecting a report before all that wraps up. i don't think this report is as imminent as most people do. i think we have to wait to see it all play out, but the fact that he's saying we've gotten everything that we need, essentially, from michael flynn signals that it's, at the very least, in its final stages. >> do you feel free to take a vacation in the next 90 days. >> i will definitely take a vacation in the next 90 days, but i will definitely be back to talk about this. >> thank you both very much for dealing with this breaking news for us tonight. >>> when we come back, michael cohen's testimony to congress has now apparently led to the new york state attorney general beginning an investigation of trump financial dealing

. >> michael flynn, the adviser with a russian connection, michael flynn. >> we do not need a reckless president who believes she is above the law. >> in 2015, flynn had traveled to moscow where he was paid to appear on r.t., right tuussia t. >> i know he said that and i disagree with that. i definitely disagree with that. >> he stood and applauded putin's speech when emerged later that he was paid, his company was paid some $45,000. >> after trump's victory in november, he named flynn national security adviser against the advice of out going president barack obama who reportedly warned trump that flynn lacked the temperament for the job. >> i had the opportunity to have the conversation with president-elect trump, president obama struck back at russia for the cyber attack ejecting 35 suspected russian spies from the u.s. and imposiing sanctions against russian skbel jeintelli services. >> vladimir putin responded surprisingly by not responding. >> he announced he would not retaliate against the u.s. for posing new sanctions to interfere with the election. >> what the public did not kn

look at michael flynn.the united states in uniform yet it sitting along lyde vladimir putin at the height of the adversarial relationship between putin and the united states, because michael flynn turned against his own commander in chief. barack obama. so all of these people are compromised by personality. they're compromised by their politics and that's what really we'll see play out in the courts. >> all of the president's men playing out in court this week. i want to play some sound from earlier today. it's from house intel chair adam schiff. take ap listen. >> probably the best way to get the truth would be to put the president under oath, because as he's made plain in the past, he feels it's perfectly fine to lie to the public. >> how likely is that, ellie? >> it's -- it absolutely needs to happen and i think it will happen once out of office. for various reasons that i don't agree with, but various reasons nobody in the department of justice will indict the sitting president for reasons that i don't

reporter: what about michael flynn? has the president thought about a pardon for michael flynn? ms. sanders: again, like i said to kristin, we have had no discussions at this point on pardons or anything else. reporter: the president said this was illegal action referring to the investigation. who does he want held accountable as a result? ms. sanders: any of the people involved in the process of call people, clapper, brennan and other people in the fbi who perpetuated the absurd lie and the absurd idea that the president of the united states was somehow a foreign agent in colluding with another government. let's not forget that all of this interference in the election took place under the obama administration, they knew about it, they did nothing to stop it. i think that's where they should start. >> just before the report was given to attorney general on friday, the administration announced 180-degree turn as it relates to policies with sanctions against north korea, why isn't that of the case? how did that come about and we we were given? ms. sanders: the sanctions in place befor

we know michael flynn will be testifying in a case involving his business partner. it is possible that at least for michael flynn's case, he's going to continue to provide information at least in court. that suggests to me that one place where they may want to hold off a little longer with respect to michael flynn. with rick gates, it is hard to tell as well. in the inauguration case, he was the key figure that helped tom barrett to organize the inauguration. it is a little unclear whether rick gates have been tapped out as well. we'll get a little bit more of a sense. he could hang onto both of those. >> do you think we are done with seeing indictments? >> hard to say but that raises an interesting question. wait a minute, for the sake of argument the mueller probe ends, what's going to happen? you will have cases of individual u.s. attorney offices. >> they're going to disperse. >> number two, you will have skeletons there. after all, they have the finish the cases that are not finished. >> what about the doj's budget darren? >> we saw last year there was a mark i

the national security advisor michael flynn had intended to carry out president pumps prompts. foreign policy objectives which were to improve relations with russia to downgrade relations with nato. get out of syria to get out of back afghanistan and by removing michael flynn as the very first victim of this whole hodes they were able to dramatically way sidetrack trumps foreign policy initiatives and i think that was one of the principal objectives of its entire focus should the full miller report. what do you think about this is a principle. you know there may be some legal issues involved about not just this case but the fact that generally speaking we do not release. reports about our criminal investigations where there is no determination to to go forward with them because a lot of times there are there are awkward things that come forward i don't have a problem with releasing it president doesn't seem to have a problem and we may need to release it just to just of course the whole thing to rest completely true. between what was said in the report by the attorney general d

same deal with michael flynn. the two people who arguably know the most about how rush interacted with the trump campaign have been working with mueller's team for more than a year. that's significant. >> joyce, i have to come back to you one more time on this. i have been warned week after week after week to stay away from timing stories about the mueller probe, while it is likely in -- i'm going to botch the sports analogy here, quarters, innings, whatever, i have been told it's over when it's over. i asked if possible april 1 there's still a mueller probe, i was told it's possible. >> a lot can happen in the last five minutes of a football game, especially if you're an alabama fan, so i wouldn't be surprised to see it. >> even i got that one. >> and you know the reality, sometimes games go into overtime. you don't know what might happen in the course of prosecuting roger stone. i think you're exactly right. it's over when it's over and not before then. >>> after the break, the standoff between the president and

mueller' nvthem, six associates o michael flynn, rog michael public indictments on charges ranging from bank and tax frauds to m not allege coordination between russia and the trump campaign. >> there's no collusion. >> reporter: president trump has repeatedly slammed the investigation and denied any wrongdoing. >> the entire thing has been a witch hunt. no collusion. >> reporter: as for making it public? >> let it come out. let people see it. >> reporter: that is up to the president's attorney general, william barr. asked about it during his confirmation hearing? >> i will make as much information available as i can, consistent with the rules and regulations. >> reporter: mueller's worker another battle over when or how much of it will be seen. >> and the justice department says there will be no new indictments as a result of the new report. 34 people have already beenl ma michael cohen. both have been sentenced. george papadopoulos and rick gates pleaded guilty, so did michael flynn and roger stone has been officially charged. you can read in detail about each person's case on our w w

two crimes committed not by michael flynn. leaks of the conversation with kislyak. then to in addition unmasking michael flynn to give ignatius that story, they are two different crimes they should be investigated. lou: quickly, a lot of chatter among radical dimms about southern district of new york. a shock, they were prosecuting it appears michael avenatti. who is now free on bail. is there any more from the southern district? can this nightmare end? or will we see continued political persecution from u.s. attorneys around in liberal jurisdiction. >> i think what barr will do because he is his stature is so immense in the department, southern district of new york is part of the department of justice, attorney general controls that district, they have to listen to him, i suspect you will see no more news conference from southern district where they take shots of president of united states without justification, like they did in michael cohen case. i think that barr's present will be a levinning factor in their behavior. lou:

when you look at michael flynn, we had an update on him today, he's essentially done cooperating. paul manafort was the first person indicted, first person that the mueller team, you know, essentially indicted was a main player in this entire investigation. remember it was before judge berman jackson, which is where tomorrow's proceedings is, where we learned that paul manafort in this meeting with cilimnic was the center, was the heart of the mueller investigation. so with tomorrow's end, with the sentencing paul manafort is done in terms of the special counsel's office. the main part of this investigation is over. the big thing is, though, i do think is rick gates. we've heard so little about him, and he's spent all this time cooperating. and we've learned a lot about his cooperation. he certainly helped him learn a lot about paul manafort's activities, the meeting with this russian kilimnik guy. so rick gates has been a bigger feg yr in this entire investigation. getting an update on him is going to pea a key sign whether or not the department of justice is done with his cooper

the special counsel's office has -- >> with michael flynn? >> with michael flynn.de it clear they are done with him. he has one thing going on, which is a case out of virginia with his former business associate. the difference is that it seems that rick gates is -- his cooperation is much more extensive and involves more jurisdictions. we don't flknow how many. it's extended beyond washington, d.c. there could be cases here in d.c. that's what they have made very clear. michael flynn, it appears, really was providing information or is still providing information on this one case. the special counsel's office has said, we're done with him. they haven't done that in the rick gates situation. they have just said, there are several wrong going investigations. that's why we're not ready to have him sentenced. it's also interesting that they put the names of the special counsel's office, the prosecutors from there, one is andrew weissman. he is leaving in a matter of weeks. they are doing that strategically. revealing other prosecutors on this court filing would tell us

lawyers for michael flynn — president donald trump's former national security adviser — have asked achael flynn was found guilty for lying to the fbi during the investigation into possible collusion between trump's campaign and russia during the 2016 presidential election campaign. american officials insist the boeing 737 max 8 aircraft is still safe to fly even though india and the european union have become the latest to ban the aircraft from flying over their airspace. it comes after an ethiopian airlines plane crashed on sunday, claiming the lives of 157 people — the second fatal accident involving the 737 max 8 in less than 5 months. our transport correspondent tom burridge has the story. this plane was just allowed back into manchester this afternoon. but this ultramodern, boeing 737 max 8 arriving from marrakesh, has now been grounded. uk aviation regulators say none of this model can arrive or leave uk airports until they are convinced it is safe. mid—flight, there was an unusual announcement. we were told while we were in the air that they'd actually grounded it. i was appre

michael flynn was found guilty for lying to the fbi during the investigation into possible collusion during the 2016 presidential election campaign. the us—backed syrian democratic forces say 3,000 islamic state fighters and their families surrendered on tuesday in their last small syrian enclave of baghouz. they've been subjected to three days of air strikes and artillery fire, with interludes to allow them to surrender. the sdf says that once everyone who wants to capitulate has done so a final assault will be launched against the few hundred fighters still thought to be in baghouz. ramzan karmali has more. the syrian defence forces bombing baghouz — is‘s last enclave in syria. for three days in a row now, the town has been subjected to air strikes and artillery fire, in an attempt to get the last remaining is fighters to surrender. it's a far cry for is, who once ruled an area of 88,000 square kilometres. that was roughly a third of iraq and syria. five years later and all that is left is baghouz, just half a square kilometre. is‘s black flag still flutters in town, but onlyjust.

claim that the president had asked him to and investigation into the national security advisor michael flynn it's illegal to interfere in a federal investigation trump himself seemed to confirm in an interview with n.b.c. news that komi was fired because of the russian investigation in fact when i decided to just do it i said to myself i said you know this rusher thing with trump and russia is a made up story it's an excuse by the democrats for having lost an election that they should have won then he later told russian officials in the oval office that firing komi took the pressure off it didn't miller has rounded up those closest to the president his former national security adviser deputy campaign manager former lawyer and fixer of all pled guilty his campaign manager was found guilty of a litany of crimes and his long time friend roger stone is also facing charges of lying to congress and impede the investigation the president has another phrase he often uses when it comes to the investigation it was no delusion with the russian there was nothing there has been no collusion they won't fi

and harry, i have a couple for you, starting with the process of what happens with michael flynn. flynn wants a delay in sentencing. the mueller folks say we're done with him. what's the consequence of this? >> well, it's odd, because the first thing you want to know is have they milked him for all the information. that gives the biggest clue about where the probe is. and normally you would think that if flynn is saying i'm needed for a trial in 90 days, that the prosecution would be seconding it. on the contrary, they've said no, we take no position. he's on his own. so it looks to me more like a bid for flynn to persuade the court who remember was harsh on flynn last time, saying you better show you've done everything and not a tangible clue of where mueller is going. in contrast, say, to stone and gates, which themselves seem to indicate unfinished business on the special counsel's part. >> harry, i haven't asked you on this broadcast, do you buy into this press coverage that it's all coming together. we are days away from the conclusion of the mueller investigation. i see you'

michael flynn, roger stone, and rick gaetz. our sara marie is live in washington with that. >> reporter: manafort is the big news and we'll see whether prosecutors decide to drop any final nuggets about this case. but we learned more last night about michael flynn the former national security adviser. mueller's team said they're not ready to set a sentencing date for him yet, but they said his cooperation essentially is complete, aside from needing his testimony at an upcoming trial against his former lobbying partner. we're going to be getting an update later this week on another important cooperator in mueller's investigation and that's rick gates, the kormer deputy. he's been cooperating with this team for quite some time. it will be interesting to see if they decide to set a sentencing date for him and what they said with flynn, the extent of his cooperation is over aside interest one or two things. that could be another signal that mueller is winding down this investigation. and, of course, we are going to see roger stone

and james comey, michael flynn, excuse me.r idea of what these early days in the trump administration looked like while hope was still there. >> all right, eugene scott live in d.c. for us. >>> president trump is escalating his attacks on george conway, husband of kellyanne conway. the president tweeted yesterday george conway often referred to as mr. kellyanne conway. i don't know why that's an insult. by those who know him is very jealous of his wife's success and angry that i with her help didn't give him the job that he so desperately wanted. i barely know him. take a look. a stone cold loser and husband from hell. george conway responded writing this. you seem determined to prove my point. good for you. in another tweet he referred to president trump as nuts. the feuding didn't top there. here what president trump said to reporters yesterday. >> i don't know him. he's a whack job. no question about it. i don't know him. i think he's doing a tremendous disservice to a wonderful wife. kellyanne conway is a wonderful woman a

and those indictments include six president trump associates, former national security adviser michael flynn, one-time campaign manager paul manafort, deputy campaign manager rick gates, george papadopoulos, personal attorney michael cohen and longtime political operative roger stone. all but stone have pleaded guilty. we do have team coverage this morning. let's begin with abc's chief justice correspondent pierre thomas in washington. pierre, good morning. >> reporter: tom, good morning. the news rapidly unfolding. with a surprise, the attorney general says he plans to make bob mueller's conclusions known to the public as soon as this weekend. finally robert mueller's work is nearly done. on friday a security officer handed over his final report toc notifying congress the special counsel has concluded his investigation of russian interference in the 2016 election and related matters. the contents of the report a tightly guarde >> i have no idea about the mueller report. >> reporter: and so the final act begins. for nearly two years an epic face-off, a president loudly proclaiming his innoce

former national security adviser, you remember this guy, michael flynn. laurels for the special council filed their report last night announcing flynn's cooperation is now complete. but in that same filing, flynn's attorneys are asking for a 90-day delay in his sentencing. he has been cooperating with prosecutors in a virginia separate case against two former business associates, who are accused of illegal lobbying for turkey. the special council's office did not take a position on flynn's request for a sentencing delay. mueller's team has recommended and this is important, recommended that michael flynn receive little if any prison time at all. i will go live to washington, d.c., where nbc news' intelligence and national security reporter, my friend ken dulaney is outside that courthouse where he will be sentenced. deja vu all over again, are you in virginia. we thought paul manafort was in for 19 to 24 years. it ended up 47 months. what are we going to see today? >> reporter: well, stephanie, as much drama and controversy there was at that sentencing he

michael flynn's a pretty big fish in this whole thing.esn't seem that he played any part in manafort, which is sort of the biggest prosecution, and yet he got a cooperation that's sort of going to end up with him probably getting a fairly reduced sentence. what do you make of that? >> yeah, look, the loose ends here are in some ways mysterious because they go to the heart o d his investigation. nothing bigger than stone. ben wittes made this point a few minutes ago for you. it's one thing to give material to other offices. it's another when it seems central to your mission. anything about the counter intelligence investigation, anything about the declinations and what that was, and anything about the president. wh in the third paragraph of the letter there's other information besides prosecution and declination that rosenstein and he and mueller will decide on, that's presumably the body of it. mueller did not just give him a little list of who he indicted who and who he's inclined to diet. >> is that your sense as well? >> i have the pri

investigation a witch hunt the fact that he has tried to protect his former national security advisor michael flynn the fact that he has been investigated and that he fired the former f.b.i. director james comey didn't attempt to allegedly try and stop the rush of probe is all evidence to this committee that the president needs to be investigated further that's what they intend to do notably though absent from this request for documents is the president's daughter of banca tromp we speculate that maybe because she remains largely very popular in the united states the fear is that this could in some way help donald trump's reelection efforts if his family was to protest perhaps look like a victim in all of this that's something the democrats certainly do not want to do so they are calculating this very carefully this will be taking place over several months and through many committees all right kimberly how can live for us there in washington thank you bill. plenty more ahead on this after more than five years in an egyptian prison renowned photojournalist. finally returning home. where one of its r

the special counselor resulted in the indictment and guilty pleas and serious and convictions of michael flynn, the former national security advisor to the president, paul manafort, the former campaign chairman for the president for several months, and michael cohen, the president's personal lawyer and fixer. when you look at this in kind of a big picture way, there's no question the president has been under a cloud for his entire presidency on the question of this investigations suspicions and a formal investigation as to whether or not he colluded with the russians and whether he obstructed justice. the fact that that investigation is over is a big milestone even if we do not know what the final conclusion of the special counsel was. we will have to wait and see, and i do think that if, and repeat it, it should be that the president is cleared of the basic fundamental charges of the special counsel, whether it was one collusion or two obstruction of justice, that is a major victory for the president. yes, congress and the six committees will continue to investigate. but if he's basically cle
