reporter: michael, michael! michaelnald trump's pit bull, but he arrived at this courthouse in manhattan, his family at his side, ready to sink his teeth into the president. speaking before he was sentenced, he delivered an excoriating address, one that immediately entered the history books of the trump era, one that made it sound as if his former boss was the true guilty party. at times fighting back tears, michael cohen said he'd been in a state of mental and personal incarceration since first working for donald trump. he said the president was right to call him weak because he'd covered up what he called his dirty deeds out of a sense of blind loyalty. he said there was little to admire about donald trump. he apologised to the american people, and he said he would give as much information to the special counsel, robert mueller, as he could truthfully give. the courtroom artist caught the anguish on his face as he admitted his own weakness had led him to choose what he had described as the triumph of darkness over lig

what is shown in these filings is that michael, once again, hurt michael. michael dean. michael thought he was going to take down the president and he couldn't do that correctly. he, once again in the mueller filing, as you saw, he said he lied to them at first, in his first interview where he's trying to become a government witness and trying to not get a plea and then as is said in the southern district, he essentially mischaracterized or has not fully cooperated with the new york city department of finance on these tax issues which, once again, would be remiss if not mentioned they have nothing to do with donald trump. this is outside business of michael's. >> all right. you have "the new yorker" -- you're talking about the problems for michael and he's brought them on himself. "the new yorker" is writing that cohen memos are damming for trump and concludes mueller's notes and cohen's effort to engage with russia with trump's knowledge and consent, that it occurred at a time of sustained efforts by the russian government to interfere with the u.s. elections. do

michael flynn a liar. he said he fired michael flynn. he did this in a tweet, which still stands on his timeline. he fired michael flynn for lying to the vice president. >> michael flynn said today, i'm a liar. he, in fact, had this strange decision at the very end of the process to maybe embrace the notion that he'd been entrapped. judge sullivan, who is a wild card and this time played it in the direction of flynn, you know, made him take it back one by one. i was really struck and surprised even that sarah sanders just doubled down on that. it puts an incredible squeeze now on flynn, who has to back away from even the slightest suggestion of being entrapped. now it appears that the government and sanders will be redoubling. >> what do you think flynn is doing? what was the goal before this hearing when his lawyers filed paperwork that said, we believe he was ambushed, we believe this was not fair. what is the strategy here? he already admitted to lying. he already pleaded guilty to lying. he already cooperated 19 times. why are they trying to have it both ways? >> that's exactly right. in a word, it was a blun

michael cohen alone because michael cohen is a liar. now, that is actually now something we can all agree on. michael cohen is a liar. or at least was a liar. even michael cohen agrees on that. he pleaded guilty to lying to congress. but after michael cohen was sentenced today, for the first time in the investigation of the president of the united states federal prosecutors put out a press release about the case. robert mueller's special counsel's office and the u.s. attorney's office in manhattan have been showing their work only in court, only in formal legal filings in court and in statements to judges in court. but today after the court session where michael cohen was sentenced to three years in prison the u.s. attorney's office in manhattan issued a press release saying that michael cohen was sentenced to three years in prison, which everyone already knew. the press release described every element of michael cohen's sentence in detail which everyone already knew was already public information. every detail of michael cohen's sentence. but then at the end of the press release came the last two paragraphs of the pr

michael cohen knows him. michael cohen knows where the dirty laundry is. not only that, michael cohen has receipts. part about the tape you obtained several weeks ago is the fact michael cohen is showing he has receipts. remember, they raided his office, they raided his hotel room. they got the paperwork. i guess the reason they are believing somebody has lied in the past is because there is corroborating truth and corroborating evidence not only in what he has, but what some of the other people are saying you've got a deal here where you've got two liars -- donald trump is a liar, we've seen him lie time and time and time again and michael cohen has lied time and time and time again. but now michael cohen, the guy who is going to take the bullet has the gunpointing at him and is in a real bind and i bet you he's got some evidence. he's got more to show than just his work. >> sources close to him say that's exactly what's going on, that he has more to tell. it is of relevance to congress, relevance to the merrill probe on all that, steve. just to be clear, i'm not saying the president is guilty of c

how this relationship between michael coh michael cohen and the president has changed? >> right, michaelohen is the person who said, and we all know it, that he would take a bullet for the president. now this relationship has become tortured. the president believes he is a liar. michael cohen believes the president is a liar. the line that struck me today from the sentencing was that michael cohen said that he is committed to ensuring that history will not remember me as the villain of this story. our reporting shows that michael cohen has a lot more story to tell and he intends to continue to cooperate, and there's some hope in his camp perhaps there's a way too reduce his sentence if he does. but they're not done talking, and michael cohen is committed to telling what he knows about the president. we do not know where that will lead at this point, wolf. >> that's a good point. phil, the three-year sentence that michael cohen has received, that's the longest so far in the mueller probe, in the mueller investigation. what message does that send to the president of the united states? >> i

michael. i think possibly he should have got a job at the white house, he was loyal to the president. with that said, a criticism i've had of michael internally and said it to the president during the campaign, we were trying to find a role for him. what is shown in these filings is that michael, once again, hurt michael.

it's mueller, manafort, michael cohen and now michael flynn. michael flynn has not been seen or heard from for a very long time. tomorrow is a big day. that is when mueller is going to show what michael flynn has been talking about for a year. michael flynn's sentencing hearing has been moved months now at this stage. so it's a really bad week. upon bad week upon bad week for donald trump. and i think what you're seeing publicly from donald trump is he's just run out of options. all he has is threats and maybe the potential for pardons for some of these guys. >> renato, according to this filing, cohen consulted with white house staff members and trump's legal counsel as he prepared for his false congressional testimony. does this mean he knew he was going to lie or encouraged it? >> that's certainly the implication that cohen's attorney is trying to get us to draw. he's certainly suggesting that that happened. essentially, what he said is as cohen was preparing to make false testimony to congress he was talking to trump's lawyers, talking to white hous

michael... ! michael cohen used to boast he was donald trump's pit bull but he arrived at this courthouse in manhattan, his family at his side, ready to sink his teeth into the president. speaking before he was sentenced, he delivered an excoriating address — one that immediately entered the history books of the trump era — one that made it sound as if his former boss was the true guilty party. at times fighting back tears, michaelen said he had been in a state of mental and personal incarceration since first working for donald trump. he said the president was right to call him weak because he had covered up what he called his dirty deeds out of a sense of blind loyalty. he said there was little to admire about donald trump. he apologised to the american people and he said he would give as much information to the special counsel robert mueller as he could truthfully give. the courtroom artist caught the anguish on his face as he admitted that his own weakness had led him to choose what he described as a path of darkness over light. thejudge sentenced him to three years in prison. cohen told the court, "today's the day i am getting my freedom back." the words the media should be using to describe mr trump are generous, compassionate, principled... these were the days before he unshackled himself from donald trump, when he revelled in his role as his personal fixer — the man who supposedly made problems go away. a

michael flynn. michael flynn has just spoken in court, we're learning. i want to bring in shimon prokupecz to learn what has happened. the judge in the case spoke, emmett sullivan, saying he was concerned that michaelt the repercussions of lying to the fbi and he didn't have counsel present. >> the thing here that's important is that the judge is basically telling michael flynn, do you want to withdraw your guilty plea? are you now saying you aren't guilty of this? so they're going through this entire exercise now of questioning him about whether or not he really is guilty. and because he's -- the judge clearly is taking an issue with what flynn's lawyers have been arguing, that he was somehow tricked into lying, so the judge plainly asked flynn's lawyer, was your client entrapped, do you feel there was entrapment? >> he said no, there was no entrapment. there's an issue now, the judge is concerned perhaps michael flynn feels he somehow was entrapped, somehow was forced to lie by the fbi. and the judge just going through that now, making sure that michael flynn is willing to accept responsibility for the crimes he committed here. and so that's exactly what's going on. >> seems like the judge was al

michael: i was voted the most spirited, friendliest at that time. michael: so you grew up in los angeles, is that right? michaelyes. my father was a lawyer and accountant. and my mom was a homemaker. and yes, i got to work -- anyone who is the child of a person has his own accounting firm, you get to work on balance sheets and tax returns when you are eight. [laughter] david: ok. did you, at the early ages, word -- were you a good student? michael: i was a very good student. what they did instill in all of us was for us to have a meaningful life, at least everyone had a chance at a meaningful life. and if our children or our children's children were going to have a meaningful life or good life, then all children had to feel they had that opportunity. and that was instilled with us. david: so you go to berkeley and you're going to major in science and be a scientist and so forth. what happened? why did you change? michael: on august 11, 1965, what became known as the watts riots occurred. so i did not have to go to vietnam. there are armed personnel carriers on the street. the city is on fire. and it took a whil

michael cohen. michael is my attorney, and you'll have to ask michael. >> step two, the partial admission followed bysistence that whatever the bad act was it definitely was not a crime. >> it's not campaign money. no campaign finance violation. so -- >> they funneled it through a law firm. >> funneled through a law firm and the president repaid it. >> oh, i didn't know -- >> he did. >> i always love that video. it's awesome. step three comes next. that was the bad act was a crime but donald trump didn't do it. >> i never directed him to do anything wrong. whatever he did, he did on his own. he's a lawyer. a lawyer who represents a client is supposed to do the right thing. that's why you pay them a lot of money, et cetera, et cetera. >> finally, step four, where we nour which is, okay, okay, it was a crime but, you know, not all crimes are created equal. here's a rudy giuliani, the president's lawyer, what he said this week. nobody got killed. nobody got robbed. this was not a big crime. giuliani told the daily beast. and then added, i think in two weeks they'll start with parking tickets that haven'
