it appears involvement that donald trump may have had with michael cohen. >> matthew whitaker, the attorney general, the president asked him to call jeffery berman to get him to unrecolonies himself from -- did you think the president was worried of what you guys may be able to find and trying to do the same thing by cultivating you and what he did with whitaker to convince berlin which potentially unrecused which he can't do. >> the president wants people who are loyal to him and not loyal to the country or not necessarily loyal to the first amendment or even if you are fox news, just loyalty to him. he has this view to be my replacement at the southern district. if only that person is investi., >> if you are still ats the sbny, what would you look into? >> non prosecutor kpeer and we'll be looking at things that's appropriate to look at and from important, looking at various aspects of trump horg-- of those things seem to be a lot on their plate and when presumably being so. no matter who the u.s. attorney is. >> did he come up at the s, t, and y? and is his taxes are deplaiting on assets

. >> you were on set when michael cohen said matthew calamari.miled just now. >> he can do damage because he's pretty stupid and i would tell him to just plead the fifth. i would hope that his attorneys would tell him to plead the fifth. you saw a clip of him trying to talk on "apprentice." it didn't work out that well. we used to call him the squid. he's donald's enforcer. he met him before he had trump tower. guy didn't graduate high school, was a security guy. beat somebody up at a u.s. open and then was doing security for trump. he's very lucky to be where he is. >> not right now maybe. >> not right now but i've heard rumors, alex, of what he has done. i don't know. we used to joke around and say he deals with the cement people. >> got it. felix sater, is there a reason to ask him about trump tower moscow negotiations? this is a man who had an office on the 26th floor of trump tower, the premier floor, right? and the president has said before, i'm not sure i would even recognize him. why would the president say that? and what kind of informat

one of the things -- congress has had michael cohen up there and matthew whitaker, did you talk to theesident about the cohen case? he said, i never did anything improper. this is the chairman of the committee. try to follow this. >> what did he admit to discussing with the president? >> he did not admit to discussing with the president anything, but when presented with the opportunity, when asked by mr. collins at the end of the interview if it was correct that he had not spoken to the president about the cohen case, he said he did not have the opportunity. so he refused to do so. >> doj officials are pushing back saying whitaker did nothing wrong. i said the same thing when you had devin nun yooz in the house. they have a responsibility to speak clearly. >> i had the privilege of being there. it was confusing. he did not deny having these conversations and the pushback from the republican side is he said he couldn't decide. the question was if there are questions, is that also suspect of maybe those conversations and they were not intentionally with the president? and there's so many

michael cohen's felonies he pled guilty to and going to prison. one thread that's still dangling related to that story are the reports that the president may have pressured then acting attorney general matthew whitaker to intervene and pressure prosecutors in that u.s. attorney's office as it pertained to the michael cohen case. there are reports that the president may have contacted matthew whitaker by phone and askedessentially if a different prosecutor to be put in charge and use his role to make that change in that u.s. attorney's office. those reports have led to a number of sort of shoes waiting to drop because that's a very s serious allegation for the president given what appears to be his own potential legal scrutiny and jeopardy related to the u.s. attorney's office. while we're waiting to find out what will happen there next, today we got the surprising news that matthew whitaker himself has left the justice department. he left this weekend. now we knew he was no longer acting attorney general because we have a full-time attorney general william barr in place but matthew whitaker was going to stay on until he wasn't. he left suddenly without an announcement this weekend and it's

let's bring in our leadoff panel for friday night, michael steele, former chairman. annie carney. matthew miller, for the justice department. and nelson cunningham, former assistant u.s. attorney for the southern district of new york. also a former counsel to the senate judiciary committee. michael, when you look back at this week, which like so many weeks, has felt like a month. and you think about what happened, donald trump went to vietnam and came back with no deal. >> right. >> and praised kim jong-un at the detriment of the death of an american student. michael cohen testified for three days on capitol hill. jared kushner's security clearance is in question once again and trump and his daughter appear to have been lied -- to have caught in a big lie. and his taxes might get subpoenaed. how bad was this week? >> it's a bad week. but i think the one word that sticks in my mind -- we describe this week as unprepared. the president was unprepared for north korea. he was unprepared for the cohen testimony. he was unprepared for the narrative now that's emerging around his son-in-law. he

michael. let's begin with the week. matthew, you look at the week. you look at the cohen hearing.en hours on capitol hill, the collapse of the north korea talks. maggie's story about the security clearance which we saw congressman nadler call an abuse of power, but one thing this screams out is president trump emerges this week with his republican base completely intact. >> i mean, what we're seeing now is because we have been operating in this sort of chaotic environment for two plus years or three years if you include the campaign and everything that happened in that, i think people at this point in time, the people that are opposed to donald trump are solidly opposed to donald trump. the people that are for donald trump are basically solidly for donald trump, and all these pieces of information don't seem to change that equilibrium. i think the country is waiting to tell us and give us the story. give us the mueller report. find something in an investigation that they find incredibly credible which wouldn't be michael cohen even though he raised dramatic concerns that i think t

so, matthew, listen, these comments remind me of what michael cohen said to congress of what may happen if trump loses in 2020. hear this. >> given my experience working for mr. trump i fear that if he loses the election in 2020, that there will never be a peaceful transition of power. >> so he also said that trump talks in code. do you think people who want to do harm could hear the president's comments today as a direction? >> i mean, yeah, if you want to do harm. if you're someone out there thinking, you know, what, i don't like some of these people who don't like trump, you've got permission to go out and do it. i have spent a lot of time, though, around the military in my life. and plenty to criticize about our military but civilian control is certainly not a thing that's been a problem for our military. and i have a lot of trouble imagining that in kind of just following the orders of a president who is totally beyond the law saying you need to enforce my will or enforce loyalty to me. it's not what the most of the military believes. maybe bikers for trump believes that but i don'

the house judiciary committee because the question at hand is did matthew whittaker have conversations with president trump about michaelhen's criminal case? and my question at its heart, after the bit of confusing statements coming out from the top leaders of the committee from yesterday, do you think there were conversations between matt whittaker and the president about michael cohen's case at the end of the day? >> we don't know. what we do know is an important revelation from yesterday's meeting with the ranking member and chairman nadler. acting attorney general whittaker before the full committee when pressed said he had not spoken with the president about the cohen investigation. when pressed he said no he had not been talked to about the southern district of new york. we wanted clarity so the chairman of the ranking member and others had acting attorney general in yesterday. what happened was he walked that back. he is now refusing to deny -- i think it's important. he went from no communications to now refusing to deny that he had conversations which obviously leaves the door open to the president. he maybe ha

matthews in los angeles. the big news today is michael cohen has new evidence against the president. in a followup to his explosive testimony last week, cohen today appeared before the house intelligence committee in an all-day back room hearing. here's cohen -- >> hearings went very, very well. i believe that all of the members were satisfied with the statements and the responses that i gave to them. i told them that any additional information that they want they should feel comfortable to reach out to my counsel, and i would continue to cooperate to the fullest except of my capabilities. >> well, today's hearing was behind closed doors, multiple reports indicated cohen showed up today with new evidence to back his allegation that the president's own lawyers edited his false statements to congress in 2017. cohen pleaded about the to making that false statement to cover up the timing of the president's efforts to build trump tower in moscow. here's cohen last week saying trump's lawyers changed that key part of his false testimony. >> which specific lawyers we viewed and edited your

jerry nadler says former acting attorney general matthew whitakers that changed his tune about conversations that he had with president trump concerning michaelcknowledged it with his staff. joining us we have the former assistant to the u.s. attorney general and a cnn legal analyst. this is a case of, matthew whitaker, where people in the room heard different things. so let's remind everybody what matthew whitaker said to the house judiciary committee just on february 8th about any conversations that he would have had with president trump. so let's start there. listen to this. >> did the president lash out at you after michael cohen's guilty plea for lying to congress about a trump organization project to build a tower in moscow? >> the president specifically tweeted that he had not lashed out. >> i'm asking you, mr. whitaker, did the president lash out at you? not asking what he tweeted. i zrient lot have a lot of comp the veracity of his tweets. >> congressman, that's based on an unsubstantiated -- >> sir, answer the question, yes or no, did the president lash out at you about mr. cohen's guilty plea? >> no, he did not. >> okay. now let's

acting attorney general matthew whitaker privately to discuss what he said publicly under oath to that committee about president trump interfering with the prosecution of michael cohen or other prosecutions. >> at no time has the white house asked for nor have i provided any promises or commitments concerning the special counsel's investigation or any other investigation. >> and here is chairman jerry nadler today describing what matthew whitaker now says about presidential interference. >> unlike in the hearing room, mr. whitaker did not deny that the president called him to discuss the michael cohen case and personnel decisions in the southern district. two, while he was acting attorney general, mr. whitaker was directly involved in conversations about whether to fire one or more u.s. attorneys. three, while he was attorney general -- acting attorney general, mr. whitaker was involved in conversations about the scope of the southern district of new york u.s. attorney berman's recusal and whether the southern district went too far in pursuing the campaign finance case in which the president was listed as individual number one. >> leading off our discussion no

and according to the chairman, matthew whitaker did not deny talking to the president about the michaelto bring in now democratic congresswoman sheila jackson lee. she sits on the house judiciary committee, by the way. good evening, congresswoman. so let's get started by doing this. i want to play what matthew whitaker told your committee about having a conversation with the president about cohen. watch this. >> did you communicate to donald trump or any senior white house advisers about investigations from the southern district of new york concerning the trump organization, the trump inaugural committee, michael cohen, or the investigations that relate to trump entities or potentially the president? >> congressman, i mentioned that -- i said other investigations in my opening statement. i really don't have anything further to add to that answer. >> and when you said other investigations, you mean you communicated to the president about -- >> no. no, i didn't. that's -- >> that you did not? >> that's not what i said in my opening statement. i'll refer you back to my opening statement. i

. >> did you ask acting attorney general matthew whitaker to change the leadership of the investigation into your former personal attorney michael cohen? >> no. not at all. i don't know who gave you that. that's more fake news. there's a lot of fake -- there's a lot of fake news out there. no, i didn't. >> chairman nadler's account of whitaker's comments today raises new questions about possible obstruction of justice by the president. this was not an official hearing. so there is no transcript. and then late today the top republican on the committee, nadler's counterpart, congressman doug collins, disputed nadler's interpretation of their conversation with whitaker. >> nadler suggested that he contradicted his own testimony in the previous public hearing about whether he was involved in discussions with the president directly about mr. cohen. was that your takeaway from this? >> no, i didn't have that takeaway at all. in fact, he said he had not talked with the president about mr. cohen at all. and no conversation with the southern district of new york at all either. >> so that brings us somehow back to paul manafort. a federal

matthews starts right now. >>> more witnesses. let's play "hardball." ♪ . >>> good evening. i'm steve kornacki. michaelohen appearing behind closed doors with the house intelligence committee, this as the president lashed out at him from overseas. spoking just after his negotiations broke down in h ashes noi. >> he lied a lot but he didn't lie about one thing. he said no collusion with the russian hoax and i said i wonder why he didn't just lie about that to like he did everything else? >> cohen did tell the oversight committee that he doesn't have any direct evidence of collusion between the trump campaign and russia, though he did say he was suspicious. trump also said it could -- shouldn't have been scheduled to co inside with his trip to vietnam. >> i think having a fake hearing like that and having it in the middle of this very important summit is real a a terrible thing. they could have made it two days later or next week and it would have been even better. there would have been more time but having it during this very important summit is very incredible. >> the front pages of this morning's news

matthew calamari. joining me, david k. johnston and our msnbc justice and security analyst, matt miller. matt miller. michaelthe trump administration. his lawyer asked or inquire about a presidential pardon. what does that do with his credibility. do you think he's purgering himself? >> he certainly had one. he admitted that he lied. whether he intentionally lie or not, i don't think we know. the stem that lanny davis, after july when he changed and started cooperating. i don't think it holds up very well. does not mean you can prove a jurge are jury chase. with respect to what it means, just like the district of new york. they don't make that joust because of michael cohen's testimony. we have to factor everything we know and verify every step of the way. that's what congress should do. >> michael cohen was in front of the house intelligence yesterday and he came in with a number of suitcases presumed to be documents that he intended to give over to the committee. one of the documents, he talks about his edits of the original democrat that he gave to congress that was proven false. if there are edits made b

so quinnipiac, matthew, showed president trump, who's more believable, 35, said to him, and michael cohen, 50, i want to circle that 35 a minute. because i want to go to our last poll, nbc/"wall street journal." we ask a question of, has the president been honest about russia. it's 37% saying that he's been honest about russia. his job approval rating is 46. my point is, matthew, i think we know who the core trump believers are. it's about 35 to -- it's somewhere in that range, 35 to 38. he has another chunk of people that like the job he's doing, but think he's a liar. is that the game? >> it's been the game since election day 2016, when people viewed him as untrustworthy and yet voted for him anyway. in fact, the approval number in your poll, 46%, is his share of the vote. >> it's the same number -- the numbers in some ways haven't changed. >> he needs to get there or a little bit more for any chance of winning in 2020. so he's counting on this. he's counting that people will dislike the alternative to him more than they dislike him. >> hillary clinton's not running, that's the one thin

. >> did you ask acting attorney general matthew whitaker to change the leadership of the investigation into your former personal attorney michael cohen? >> no. not at all. i don't know who gave you that -- that is more fake news. a lot of -- there is a lot of fake news out there. >> so does the president still believe that? seeing as kaitlin colins joins us now from the white house. what is the white house saying about this? >> so far, no official statement from the white house about this. but expect them to point to what the republican in the room is saying about all of this. his version of events as just laid out down playing what chairman nadler described this as saying it is not nefarious and whitaker didn't reveal anything new about his conversations with the president saying that he only had conversations with staff about the cohen probe but of course because there is no transcript it is going to be one of those things where it is a he said/he said and so the white house could use the talking points from doug collins, the republican and be able to say without them being checked against any transcript of what matt whitaker
