michael cohen. she ha michael cohen, it's michael cohen. old rachel about how michael cohen is feeling. >> the president has done nothing in order to make michael cohen feel like he has michael cohen's back. and that has been a problem. you forget the president went on fox news and basicallyd i barely know the guy, he's a coffee boy, he did a small and rudy giuliani has gone on television repeatedly making this harder for michael cohen. and the reaction from michael cohen, from everything i know from my reporting, has been these guys don't have my back. now a man who is frustrated, isolg alone and feeling very, very angry at the trump family in general and at the president. >> angry at the trump family in general and the president. and he has information about the trump family and the president. >> and lawrence, i think what's going to happen, look, nothing lasts forever. i know people think things last forever, they don't. so what's going to happen is the narcissism of this president, his arrogance, his stupidity is going toch up to him b h

michael flynn did lie? well, the only one you really need to mention is michael flynn. michael flynn says michael flynn lied, and robert mueller says michael flynn lied. and the fbi says michael flynn lied. and michael flynn has pleaded guilty to lying to the fbi. but most importantly, michael flynn says that michael flynn lied. that's what's important here. if donald trump said one true thing in the driveway this morning i would show it to you right now, because it would show that he knows how to tell the truth about something, and that would mean that lying is a conscious choice for him. that it's a conscious choice, and he makes that conscious choice every time. when you watch donald trump in the driveway this morning you're seeing someone who seems to know there is nothing in the truth that sounds good for him, absolutely nothing. and that's why he lies. the truth is so bad for him, he will lie and create a falsehood that his followers will believe instead of the truth. so he lied about the inspector general's report. >> here's the good news. i did nothing wrong. there was

michael cohen. he texts, call me. he gets no reply from michael cohen. and the next day, march 2nd, keith davidson texts michael cohen, busy? nine minutes later, michael cohen replies, 15 minutes we should speak. keith davidson says call when you can. at 3:56 p.m., michael cohen says he will call at exactly 4:00 p.m. and have another lawyer, la la larry rosen on the line. at 4:14 p.m., keith davidson, now the nervous one texts, you calling? michael cohen immediately replies, with flotus give me a minute. public reports say that michael cohen and melania were in the home in the florida that day. michael avenatti believes he knows what mrs. trump and michael cohen were talking about that day. and michael avenatti also believes, along with stormy daniels, that michael cohen and keith davidson were colluding to deny stormy daniels proper legal representation in her case against donald trump. that keith davidson was working for donald trump's benefit and not the benefit of his client. stormy daniels and michael cohen was a crucial part of that violation of the attorney/client relationship that stormy daniels was sup

michael. take a look. >> i worry about michael. i worry about michael. he got screwed out. got screwed the most i've e did. michael is walking around with a big chip on his shoulder. he thought it was steve bannon and reince priebus that forced him out of not getting a job. i've learned that it was jared and not only that but they made him leave the trump organization. some of it stem from the daily beast interview th you covered and other issues where michael gave them president-elect trump good counsel of not taking, suesting that perhaps his son-in-law and daughter shouldn't enter the white house. michael, whether you like us or not, whether you like donald trump or not and michael is a tragic figure. i don't know what they are investiga investigating. i do know and i've said that to you, they asked me about all businesses i heard of. it was very weird to me. i didn't necessarily know that was under -- i guess anything is under investigation. >> mueller's investigators was asking about the way trump organization was ran. >> and they were asking me about michael's other bu

michael, michael, michael. ..and you haven‘t given me a straight answer. ges which have now meant that people can get 100% advances upfront on day one if they require and that is making a positive difference for people. despite the problems that alex and others have had with universal credit the troubled benefit will continue. given the time and money already spent on it today‘s report says scrapping it is not a viable option. let me get this clear, the national audit office says universal credit is too expensive, poor value for money and causes financial difficulties for two in five people, the government says it is good value for money and not causing financial hardship so who are we supposed to believe? talking to the department for work and pensions over the last couple of days about universal credit has been like talking to some sort of flat earth movement, they simply refuse to accept that the benefit is causing hardship for a significant minority of people on the benefit, that is despite not just the evidence in today boston report but their own rese

michael cohen's request. michael cohen is taking the fifth because of his separate ongoing criminal problems in the southern district of new york. there's a lot of interesting questions. it's clear that michael halkcha noot tee wants to get michael cohen in a room to take his deposition. >> this is not the normal course of events. if people are going and saying

it's sometimes people think i'm odd because michael michael would like this beautiful document and they're like it's about harvest to sticks. do you think anyone before you or your work. not on this one but on this one this is actually larry he's the guy they invited me to cure of and he put his book on education put this in documents so you can see right here in the front of everybody who's worked on it and even sometimes which pages they've used and his own way of the americans who come here and look at this one the origins of this fellow is russian. one nine hundred seventy nine. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race move his arm off and spearing dramatic development but only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. join me every thursday on the elec simon chill and i'll be speaking to get us through the world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see you then. right. so. having a native english speaker is both a barry t. an

michael cohen is apparently having a law school moment where he's discovering for the first time no, you can legally rape your wife, treat your wife in such a way that constitutes rape. but this michael cohen, this is the michael cohen, who is -- we're going to learn a lot more about in this proceeding in the southern district of new york. >> this is the michael cohen that michael avenatti, the attorney for stormy daniels, stephanie clifford, calls a thug and calls his tactics thuggish. this is the first confirmation we have seen from actual tapes that yes, he, in fact, is extremely thuggish. he's threatening. he's not just having a legal argument, to your point, lawrence, he's not just saying, look, here's the possibility of a defamation case against you because here you do not have facts -- that's not having a lawyerly conversation. he is literally threatening. he is extremely aggressive and abusi abusive. remember that we have also been told. we don't yet have it confirmed but we've also been told by michael avenatti that he knows that donald trump is on at least one of those conversations about what we don't know. it will be interesting to see what the exchange and the kind of communication is like if that

and then today michael cohen retweeted a second tweet by tom arnold which says michael cohen didn't say me and him were teaming up to take down donald trump, michaels enough trump on his plate, i'm the crazy person who said me and michael cohen were teaming up to take down trump, of course, i meant it. michael doesn't get paid by vice. the hunt for the trump tapes. tom arnold is the laughing voice you're hearing beside me right now. he is getting paid by viceland to do a series about what he calls the trump tapes, in which tom arnold will try to get his hands on and play for us previously unheard tape of donald trump from donald trump's tv show and a variety of other possible sources, possibly including michael cohen's tapes of donald trump. and here is how viceland is promoting tom arnold's series. >> donald trump saying, quote unquote, grab them by the [ bleep ]. >> talking about 16-year-old girls in their underwear here, okay? >> spewing racial slurs on the set of "celebrity apprentice." >> trump denies any involvement with prostitutes. >> don't worry, tom arnold is on it, and i'm tom arnold. >> and you're tom arnold. >> i am tom arnold. >> i r

michael cohen, i'm sure. you know michael cohen. you guys are buddies. ( laughter ) michaeled or lost his legal team, and they have not named a replacement for who that is going to be. there are rumors that he's going to flip or that he's about to be arrested. which one do you think is about to happen? let's start with you. >> i think both are going to happen. i predicted a couple of month ago that michael cohen was going to be indicted, that he was in a whole heap load of trouble. and i think we've seen that play out over the last couple of months. there's no question in my mind that he's going to be indicted. and there's no question in my mind he's going to flip on the president. i think michael cohen is in a very, very bad spot. and i think the president is in a very, very bad spot, because this is what happens when you trust your inner-most secrets to a moron. ( cheers and applause ). >> stephen: mr. scaramuchi-- hold on. yes. >> that was a little less civil than i thought. >> stephen: the chair recognize mrs. scaramuchi. >> here's what i would say is, because he is a pe

. >> why did michael cohen make it if there was no truth to her allegations? >> you have to ask michael cohen. michael's my attorney. and you'll have to ask michael. >> reporter: as the u.s. attorney's office digs into cohen's close relationship with president trump, special counsel robert mueller has questions, too. sources tell abc news he wants to know what the president knew about cohen's efforts relating to russian real estate investments. the president has insisted his fixer won't flip. tweeting in april, "sorry, i don't see michael doing that despite the horrible witch hunt and the dishonest media." >> have you talked to mr. trump about a pardon? >> reporter: cohen has not been charged with any crime. our jon karl asked the president if he'd be in line for a pardon. >> and what about -- mr. president, what about michael cohen? are you considering a pardon for michael cohen? >> thank you very much. stupid question. >> we remember that moment. pierre, so much pressure on michael cohen tonight. he also obviously knows that one of his own business associates is already cooperating with federal prosec

michael, these are people who are not going to want to mess with the government. and they are going to try to cooperate. the interesting thing that you pointed out with michael earlier is what michael cohen does. and the more we keep hearing him talk about doing what's best for his family, as we have talked about before, the more it's likely that he's going to cooperate. tin critical thing for him rate now is to try to figure out what charges the government right now has against him. because, by all accounts, for someone who has been in some shady businesses for decades, there may be a lot more criminal activity that he has to plead guilty to that the government doesn't know about. that's part of the cooperation process. and he may be doing a calculation as to how much more he to give up in order to cooperate. >> it is a fascinating case. we don't always build an entire legal exploration off a tom arnold photo. i have to say that as a caveat. but the photo is not about tom arnold. it's about michael cohen's state of mine and the pressure building on him as all of this stuff comes out, which is fascinating. as mentioned some of that began with mr. michael avenatti's civil litigation

michael: no. dan: no. host: have you ever voted for democrat? dan: yes. michael: yes. host: should victims of domestic abuse be granted at the border? michael: i don't know. that is a case-by-case basis. host: should the yankees have agreed to change their name to the pizza rest? dan: hell no. michael: i agree. should pharmaceutical companies be held criminally liable for the opioid crisis? michael: yes. dan: those who were deceptive. host: there is a controversy over whether or not the bridge has been misspelled because the original family spelled it with two these. shouldn't actra -- shouldn't you be added? dan: no. it is like getting a stamp where the plane is upside down. let's keep it. michael: i wouldn't change it. host: should members of congress be allowed to sleep in their offices? michael: no. dan: yes. host: your favorite restaurant in the district? michael: tony's brick oven. dan: that is a really tough one. i eat out a lot. i don't want to upset anyone. newof my favorites is the ones, the corner house. they can candidates. it is time for our cross-examination round. each candidate gets to question his opponent. we are to start

michael cohen so flip. who is michael cohen? why is he sonificantent? >> michael cohen is significant for a number of reasons. not the least of which is that he was someone who considered himself a fixer and very close. pud o being very close to the president. the theory would be that if someone knows where all the hypothetical bodies are buried, it would be michael cohen. the other concern that someone like trump should have is that whenitnesses cooperate, they are under atremendous incentive to give the government a story that the governmentds useful. otherwise the government won't offer them a deal. the complaint that defense attorneys like me have about the cooperating witness process is the story or out right lying to or u.s. attorneys in other words to secure the best deal possible. ultimately, many of these cooperating witnesses they pledge their loyalty to their friend or someone like mr. trump but ultimately when they think about their wife and children and federal prison, that feeling changes. >> danny, quickly before i let you go just to remind folks, p

michael cohen's week in review. michael cohen just drop a hint about flipping on trump? cohen quits rnc gig. michael cohen wants trump to pay his legal fees. and the publisher of the national enquirer in probe. his legal problems are mounting as i understand from family and friends to do some sort of deal to avoid jail time. >> there's never been any doubt in my mind how this was going to end up. if you look at the southern district doing what they did, this extraordinary and incredible thing. we have to go back to the beginning. the raid itself on the personal attorney of the president of the united states. what the standard was to get that warrant was off the charts high. they knew he committed crimes before they walked in the door. they almost had to prove that to get the warrant. so they now are engaged in this broad wide ranging criminal investigation that is going to yield indictments and probably going to present michael cohen with a choice of spending the rest of his life in jail or cooperating. there is almost no one given that choice and someone who everyone who knows michael cohen says fo

michael cohen has not met with prosecutors. we also doesn't knower prosecutors are interested in meeting with michael cohen. we really can't answer that question right now. what we do know is this whole saga with michaelen has gotten the president really upset for a lot of reasons. he called it a disgrace when his home and office were raided. don't forget, he was the president'snal attorney and there's perhapse fear that michael cohen could have information that's detrimental to the president. obviously they'd be afraid of him flipping and talking to ecutors about that. he could also just cooperate to help himself quite honestly. but we just don't know if or what this signals. >> got you. and do we have any indication what president trump may be thinking right now? >> no, we don't. look, he's had a long relationship with michael cohen. i think he first tired him in 2006 or 2007. and as we always talk about, michael cohen is the fixer. they have a close personal relationship. i think the stormy daniels issue may have put a wedge in that relationship to a certain degree. but i think the president upset about what happened with cohen and how it could or could not impact him, the president personally. but

michael? >> let's look at one other aspect. >> hang on, carl. michaelnk we're seeing that in some ways north korea is reshaping the world more than the ud states. we have america losing friends because the president is pushing them away, and we have north korea being brought into the warm embrace of the united states. so when we observe this, we have to think there's a bigger shift afoot than just the photo op indicates. >> go ahead, carl. >> it's the juxtaposition of the two event, the disdain and contempt the president of the united states has for the western alliance, for the greatest alliance of modern times that has brought the modern world and particularly the west so much. and now he is willing to blast it apart. and at the same time we see him courting dictators, courting putin, couing the leader of north korea. look, it makes some great sense to come to an agreement with north korea if it can be done, but they can be done at once to have a real alliance with our traditional friends and not to declare war on those who had gone the hard distance

michael cohen was talking about taking a bullet and doing whatever he could to protect this president. and the president isn't doing anything to suggest he is loyal to michael cohen in the way michaelas at one point loyal to him. >> i forget someone wrote that and we had -- >> there's a long list. some of them are in jail now. >> michael cohen is out and about facing cameras every day. even earlier today. watch this. >> michael, are you concerned at all? >> i wonder what the best he can hope for, and if i mean seeing paul manafort -- >> that's a chilling scene. that really brings it home. but the thing to remember about michael cohen he's an incredibly self-confident man who saw himself very much the right-hand of donald trump for years. worked in power circles, moved in power circles with a confident fixer to donald trump to solve this guy's problems for years. so seeing him out and about he's not the kind of guy who would sort of stay home and cry into his kleenex. that's not who he is. but the reality is there's so much that's hanging over him now. and the pressure that he's under, you've got to wonder when donald trump and rudy giuliani start playing like the "wheel of fortune"

michael cohen is taking the fifth because of his separate ongoing criminal problems in the southern district of new york. there's a lot of interesting questions. it's clear that michael halkcha noot tee wants to get michael cohen in a room to take his deposition. >> this is not the normal course of events. if people are going and saying it seems like michael avenatti is out with a new punch and new suit. that's not how it usually goes down. clearly there's stuff here including the texts that they got a hold of that gives them a claim. a nonfrivolous claim to go after these people in a new way. what everyone thinks of cohen, dav davidson and avenatti, this was raised in the karen mcdougal suit. she got the national enquirer company to back off. it was the same set of allegations. we did speak to her lawyer about this and it's pretty fascinating. take a look another this moment. >> why was michael cohen involved? >> i mean it's the $64 million question. >> you don't know in. >> we don't know. >> you think it's nefarious? >> of course it's nefarious. >> what is the link here and if there's a pattern of davidson doing this and cohen and trump know about it, what other problems does that create? >> you talk a

michael cohen made this payment of his own volition, that is something the president echoed at a later point in time. but then a few weeks later he was telling fox news that michael cohen repsented him in legal matters and one was this crazy stormy daniels deal and rudy giuliani said the president imreimbursed michael cohen and he said he was never reimbursed by the president. there has not been any consistency or clarity about what if anything the president knew about this payment and when he became aware of the payment. we do know that people close to the president have tried to pay women into silence storm and karen mcdougal and the question >> and in the midst of this. the president's new attorney rudy giuliani makes this allegation while visiting israel today. listen to this. >> they are a of 13 highly partisan democrats that make up the mueller team, excluding him, are true i very, very hard to frame him. to g to get him i trouble when hasn't done anything wrong. and they may not realize they are doing it. but they can't emotionally come to grips with the fact that this whole thing of russian collusion didn't happen. that they are tryin invent theories of obstruction of justice. >> he said they are trying very hard to frame the president of the united states. what is your reaction? >> well it

michael flynn. it's not necessarily going to help the people about whom michael flynn has given testimony. it's sort of like, you know, you're closing the barn door long after the michael be put back in that barn, pardon or no pardon. >> so, the fact that dinesh d'souza was pardoned this week, was that some sort of a test, a signal, of how the president would use his power. pardon and how that would go on? >> it sure does seem like the president is sending a signal. and unfortunately he is either pardoning or considering pardoning the wealthy, the influential, the connected. when there are so many people who are not wealthy, who are not connected and who are not influential who have their cases at this very moment sitting in the office of the pardon attorney at the department of justice, going through the process which is a long rigorous process, as well it should be. and yet, the president leapfrogs the d'souzas of the world over the top of all of those potentially worthier candidates. and it does seem like the president is potentially sending messages. and i see this as sort of the jv team taking the team and playing before the varsity team is called on to the field.

michael sown does. michael cohen is at risk of going to jail as a criminal for multiple crimes. that is what's on his mind. not the defamation suit or the $130,000 lawsuit from stormy daniels. >> if michael avenatti is arrested, indicted -- >> michael cohen. >> excuse me, excuse me. michael cohen. my appall jieologies. if arrested what would that mean for the special counsel's inion? how does that affect them? view, if the southern district is handling everything unrelated to the president, and what the agreement i suspect is, is that anything that the southern district finds, that t russia -- and there are things we've learned about michael cohen in connection to -- >> from moscow and others -- >> even after election. the peace plan he reportedly delivered to michael flynn and otr things. the relationship with columbus movie virginia and the russian oligarch. those thing would probably flow down to the spe counsel, everything se, particularly anything related to the trump organization, my guess would stay in the southern district. >> they wouldn't just gobble up the other investigation? wouldn't just -- that will be a closer call. the trump organization, i think. given the overlap. my g

michael avenatti. >> so much to talk about here. michael cohen indicating he may cooperate. let me bring in former federal prosecutor and cnn analyst michael zel done and joe more enno. welcome. happy friday. michael zeldin, this judge in this whole manafort case, let me go back to her. her name is ber minute jackson, and this is another quote from her today. this is not middle school. i can't take his cell phone. i thought about this long and hard, mr. manafort. i have no appetite for this. woo! >> tough stuff. but what happened here was that manafort really abused the privilege she gave him by allowing him out on bond in the first instance. and this was not his first strike. remember, he violated the no gag order -- the gag order, the no communications, by penning an op-ed. so this was the second time that amy jackson felt that he was taking advantage of her. she felt, therefore, he was a threat to the administration, the new administration of justice, and she stepped him back, and he'll spend his time now either in alexandria or orange, virginia, where the u.s. marshal service finds space for him. and that's where he'll stay until there

michael ware michael steele award winning journalist who's reported for time and c.n.n. we've shared many moments on the end together he was one of the few western journalists to be live full time in iraq during that war and it's a pleasure to have him back in studio with me michael welcome aboard good i larry thanks for having me most were great days when they michael well you were everywhere you cried is one word for them larry but there were extraordinary days. i remember i throw to you and at the bombs always counted on about growers always for dramatic effect as you can imagine but yes i mean i've always found that if you want to get to any sort of small skerrick or crown of the truth and you really have to get to where the truth happens foreign correspondents are unique breed and you're stand out among them ok last month during a meeting with nigeria's president donald trump said we have very much decimated isis this follows his december declaration that the us military had knocked the hell out of the islamic state you've witnessed the birth of isis or syria actions at well. over one very shallow level that statement is correct in the sense that yes we've knocked them out. where it's incorrect isn't what we haven't yet done we have removed their physical st

michael cohen didn't want anyone to see. michael cohen's very bad day next. >> there is a new government filing concerning the april raid on long time trump personal lawyer michael cohen and if you are michael cohen and hi, michael, if you're watching it does not sound like awesome news. feds today informing a judge they had recovered more than 700 pages worth of encrypted messages and call logs from one of the blackberries seizes in that raid and said they would piece together and this one hurts, 16 pages of documents found in a paper shredder. no word yet on the content of the encrypted messages or documents though one imagines cohen didn't want them seen amid multiple reports cohen believes he has been treated badly by trump and al lines moving closer to cooperating. trump claimed that he had nothing to worry about. >> are you worried michael cohen might flip. >> i did nothing wrong. you have to understand. this stuff would have come out a long time ago. i don't do anything wrong. it's really nice. >> is he still your friend. >> i always liked michael cohen. i haven't spoken to him in a long time. >> is he still your personal lawyer. >> no, he's not my lawyer

and michael eric dyson joins us now. michael, i want to read you something we heard today. i wonder if this is what truth sounds like. this is written in the middle of melania trump's written statement today, which said only this about the children she met today. she said, the children were eager to learn and were kind and in good spirits. is that what truth sounds like on our southern border tonight? >> not at all. that sounds like anesthesia. that sounds like addiction to forgetfulness. that sounds like trying to paper over a volcano of hurt and pain and trauma that these children are enduring. can she imagine her own beloved son being subject to forcible separation from his mother or his father? this is the politics of unempathy. this is the denial of the humanity that binds us together. and to have such a statement,

michael horowitz, which michael horowitz will testify before. in fact you were just giving me some details on that and some things that you will hit. let's start now with the nomenclature of broke from procedure. it's almost like, leak it to leak. your first thoughts on that? >> i haven't read the report, my staff is being briefed as we talk at the white house. we will have a hearing at 2:00 on monday. i think it took about 12.7 seconds to leak. so i'm told that the conclusion is that mr. comey didn't follow protocol but he wasn't biased. i have to read that in context. but i do know this, usually when someone is biased or not is a question for a jury. not necessarily the report writer, although i certainly respect mr. horowitz's opinion, i think he's very fair. but i will tell you that nothing would surprise me here in lala land in light of what has gone on in the past with the fbi. it breaks my heart. i think the average man and woman in the fbi rank and file, they are part of the best law enforcement agency in the history of the world. but we have some folks in the upper echelon over there that are rotten apples. >> harris: so is breaking, and i want to get your thoughts on what the motivation would be. we would want your -- "the washington post" is now reporting that in this batch of reported documents now, from the ig, his report, newly revealed text messages from those former fbi employees only first started to learn about bias of the fbi through their text messages. peter strzok and lisa page. "we are going to stop trump from becoming president." that's part of the batch that is coming that gets revealed in this ig report. >> senator kennedy: i don't know about the protocol part but in the louisiana come up we call that bias, we don't call that objective. and once again i suspect that these issues will ultimately be referred to a u.s. attorney. if it proceeds to trial, that will be an issue for the jury. i'm interested in the facts. i'm not interested in spin, speculation or rumor. i'm interested in the facts and getting out in front of the american people. some of the bacon wrapped shrimp crowd in washington think the american people are not smart enough to figure it out, and they are. the american people don't have time to read every day but they draw their own conclusions. >> harris: when they do draw their own conclusions, what do you see the outcome is? >> number one, in russia did try to influence on our election and we know that. number two, did they influence our election? i think so and i don't know how anyone could prove that they did. the real issue is, was there illegal collusion? and let's wrap this thing up. >> harris: so what i understand you are saying, you understand that russia tried to hunt interfere in the election? >> senator kennedy: there is no question. >> harris: but they didn't interfere? >> senator kennedy: i don't believe they influence the outcome and i don't think you can say that people voted this way because they read that, at silly. >> harris: this ag report brings scrutiny to people like loretta lynch, and former deputy director of fbi. >> we invited all of them to our hearing on monday. i understand that mr. comey is out of the country. now whether he is out of the country or has left the country, i don't know. i think ms. lynch, i think she turned us down and mr. mccabe wants immunity. i'm not going to vote to give him immunity, i would love to have him come testify in front of god, country and the american people what happened. but if he wants to escape prosecution in return for that, if that's not a deal that i'm willing to make. >> harris: i tell you senator kennedy, all eyes are on this report as it comes out because it sounds like there are some people that don't want to talk. >> senator kennedy: let me say it again, the fbi is the premier law enforcement agency in the world. i'm talking about the rank and file. it's clear that we have come up we may still have, i don't know, some folks in the upper echelon who were biased, and there was some hanky-panky in the 2016 election. we will get to the bottom of it and find out about it. >> harris: senator kennedy from the great state of louisiana. it's nice to be in your town today. >> senator kennedy: it's a big part of america. >> harris: fox news alert, president trump said he will not settle a lawsuit filed by new york's attorney general against the president, three of his children and the trump foundation. the lawsuit claims they use the charity assets to promote legal bills and even the campaign. president trump tweeted this -- they are doing everything they can to sue me on the foundation that took in $18,800,000 and gave out to charity more money than it took in 19 million, 200,000. i won't settle this case. snyderman who ran the clinton campaign in new york and never had the guts to bring his ridiculous case which lingered in the office for more than two years. they brought it in when we would not settle. david lee miller with more. >> reporter: in a 41 page harshly worded lawsuit, new york's attorney general said the trump charitable foundation was used by mr. trump to illegally subsidize his business interests and political campaign. they are calling for 2.8 million in restitution and in the findings in the suit, the trump foundation is little more than an empty shell that functions with no oversight from the board of its directors. mr. trump ran the foundation according to women rather than laws. the suit says quote because of oversight and lack of direction, mr. trump was able to use charitable assets to satisfy the obligations or otherwise benefit himself and other entities in which he had an interest. the lawsuit describes numerous examples of alleged financial abuse. among them, a trump foundation fund-raiser for veterans one week before the iowa caucuses. suit maintains the televised event was used to benefit the campaign, including signs of the slogan come up make america great again. another example cited in the lawsuit, mar-a-lago settled a lawsuit and agreed to make a $100,000 charitable foundation. it is noted though that after new york interred in general began the investigation, mr. trump reimburse them for the foundation plus interest. he issued a statement saying, this is politics at its very worst. he went on to say this is unconscionable, particularly because of foundation previously announced its intention to dissolve more than a year and a half ago. the lawsuit seeks to bar natalie mr. trump from serving on the bar of any charity for ten years, and his three oldest children who are listed as the foundation's directors would receive a one-year ban. harris? >> harris: david lee miller, thank you very much. let's bring in the next guest, former u.s. attorney michael moore. michael, thank you for being on the program. i do want to get to that inspector general report and what it says about james comey, but first, a quick reaction from the breaking news on the lawsuit. >> michael: i don't think it's good news for the trump administration and the reason is, it's pretty clear when you look at the release that came out, some of these contributions were directed for political purposes. i think there is an email that they have shown from a campaign higher up, where he asked, can we get these contributions made before the election? that's a problem, because it ties it to the political purpose as opposed to a charitable purpose. it's unconscionable to have a charity that you use for personal gain, and this is sort of part of a story or pattern that we have heard about concerns with the president. that is that he will use an otherwise public institution or charitable institution for his own personal benefit, and that's why we have had so much discussion ab

by michael cohen's lawyers after michael cohen's office, home, hotel room and safety deposit box were all raided by federal agents in april of this year. and you can see the headline there. "michael cohen's attorneys claim thousands of privileged documents scooped up in raid." the headline actually understates it a little bit. what michael cohen's lawyer actually said in court was that "thousands if not millions of documents that were seized from michael cohen should be considered privileged." and in this case privileged means that prosecutors shouldn't be allowed to see those documents, even though those documents were seized by federal agents. the privilege claim is that because michael cohen is an attorney anything that represented confidential legal advice that michael cohen may have given to any of his legal clients, that's something nobody else has the right to see. of course in our system of justice everybody has the right to confidential secret communications with their legal representative. when federal prosecutors from the southern district of new york swooped in with fbi agents and took all this stuff from michael cohen's practice, from his legal practice, his office,

michael j. michael gordon from the wall street journal here it's one question if you would please. ok. question for us state councilor wearing. the united states has taken the position that north korea should take major steps to dismantle its nuclear weapons and forces in a short period of time in two and a half years it also says as you've just heard that there should be no sanctions relief until these steps by north korea have been taken while china support this approach for china press north korea to take disarmament steps in the next year or so will it pledge to withhold any sanctions relief until these steps by north korea carried out. you know which actually mr secretary is in a better position to answer this question because he just had a very into and detailed communication with the d.p. r. k. side about china's position i believe that we all know it very clearly that is a firm commitment to do you need anybody's ation. at the same time we believe that . it is important to address the legitimate concerns of security of the d.p. or they feel that is a peacemaking is a monito

michael cohen who you know and have spoken about here. why are we hearing so much about michael cohen potentially? >> i think michael is 100% communicating through the press. if i had to guess -- this part i don't know and i wouldn't know because reporters are professional. he's even talking to reporters on background with them. it's something that's done in this world where they take somebody's -- >> you read this as not people around cohen. you read this as cohen leaks. >> there's been a lot out there. first of all there was no coincidence to me that george stephanopoulos, who michael is very close with, and there was a commodity with us with donald trump directly. he was very close to george stephanopoulos. george stephanopoulos interviews donald trump in singapore at the summit. two days later, michael cohen -- george stephanopoulos has a breaking news report that michael cohen may be flipping and not sticking with his attorney. magg maggie haberman, bring in trump world. she says, we had an agreement. we don't want to hear anything about these legal fees. i think michael's view is from -- let say what we think,
