how often did you feel you knew the trump organization in some way, whether it's michael, you, roger,candidate or just private citizen donald trump? how often was david pecker or a.m.i. intersection? how often did you see him? >> well, luckily for me i never dealt directly with pecker or anybody at a.m.i. as you know, having dealt with the campaign and trump over the years there are pockets and chips you hold of who you deal with. >> people guard those. no, no, no, no he's my contact. >> exactly right. twhfs michael. so i was quite surprised when "national enquirer" had a cover against michael in april. >> you thought that was michael's account. >> michael was close to pecker and it was known within the organization that, you know, michael deals with" national enquirer" the same way i deal with mark levin. >> it's interesting. you're not -- you don't -- has david pecker turned on the president or not? you don't seem to think so. >> it's funny, when they talk about the safe, there are a lot of politicians on both side of the aisle and a lot of celebrities worried about what's in the sa

. >> thank you, michael. to roger in pennsylvania and then back to our guests. hi, roger. >> caller: hi. the vietnam war documentary was excellent, by the way. i turned 18 in 1972. my lottery number was 217, and i was 1a. i remember a little differently. i went to college with a lot of vietnam vets and i had a business partner that was a medic in vietnam. and i have to disagree. i think they were all -- everybody wanted to hear their stories. people -- i don't ever remember anybody talking down to them. everybody seemed to hold them in a high esteem. we got a lot of higher end work in north jersey because my friend was a vietnam vet and the doctors and stuff wanted to hire him and hear his stories, that he was a vietnam vet. my father was a platoon sergeant in the philippines, i mean, the pacific theater in world war ii. came home and never talked about the war. he went through hell. kept his mouth shut. died -- worked until the day he died at 83 and never asked the government for anything. he never got the g.i. bill. never got medicare. and i think the vietnam

in light of that, in light of the amount of time, and they spent more time with me on michael than i -- than on rogere they probing you about michael? what were they trying to get at about michael? >> michael's role in the campaign, what his type of role was going to be and other issues i just -- you know, business type issues which just general things i had seen around trump -- which i don't want to get into. it's nothing guilty or criminal. at least i don't believe it is. >> to that point, do you think -- you used the word michael cohen has flipped, is that your assessment of what michael cohen is doing now, that he has flipped on the president? do you see it as that? >> we all thought this once he hired lanny davis. i heard from mutual friends and reporters he talked to he was very upset with the president. i like michael personally, once again. i sympathize with him. the minute he retained lanny davis, for somebody like me that was, well, that's a little inappropriate, to me, and i see where you're going with this. and lanny has said this, he basically wants him to be the john dean to impeach thi

roger stone. >> certainly. i mean, up until now, everyone thought that perhap's mueller's focus to squeeze people for the target of donald trump and seems with paul manafort, with michaelcles and inner circle, people he's focused on saying you yourself have a problem. it's not just collusion but whatever he also uncovers in the process of that particular crime. and in doing so he's finding one person after another who's in that inner orbit who is saying, well, maybe it's you who's the new target. don't worry about what i want with respect to donald trump. >> this does lead to trump because i've always thought stone would be at the center of collusion there was. he seems to have been in touch with wikileaks. mueller's very focused on that relationship right now. look how far -- how distant is roger stone from donald trump? there's e-mails. we could help on the timing of that. doesn't tell donald trump about that? famously quit from the campaign -- >> stayed in touch. >> stayed in touch. he is trump's closest political adviser for 25 years. >> ran his presidential campaign in 2000. >> right. the little one until it faded away. right? so i mean, no. the idea that going af

. >> reporter: roger mccis headin home. >>> michael cohen says he has more to say about his actions and that of the president. cohen faces prison time for campaign finance violations. he admitted in court that donald trump directed him to pay hush money to two women. president trump told fox news he didn't know about the payments until later, but cohen says he isn't done talking. >> michael cohen has told me that he's going to tell the truth to whoever asks him, whether it be a congressional committee or prosecutor or somebody in washington. >> today the president compared cohen to former campaign manager paul manafort who was convicted on eight federal counts. he praised manafort for refusing to break. >>> coming up at 5:00, an unusual sight on the bay bridge. this woman riding a bike. we have some answers, next. >>> plus, upset about orchard supply closing for good? >>> smoke from nearby fires continuing to move in across the south bay and 74 in san jose right now. i'll have an air quality check and details. getting a lot of bu it seems this woman has figured out a way to beat the bay

from michael to roger in pennsylvania, then back to our guests. hello, roger. >> hi.the vietnam war documentary was excellent, by the way. i turned 18 in 1972. my lottery number was 217. and i was 1a. i remember it a little differently. i went to college with a lot of vietnam vets and i had a business partner that was a medic in vietnam, and i have to disagree. everybody wanted to hear their stories. i don't remember anybody talking down to them. everybody seemed to hold them in high esteem. we got a lot of higher end work in north jersey, because my friend was a vietnam vet and the doctors wanted to hire him and hear his stories. my father was a platoon sergeant in the philippines -- in the pacific theater in world war ii, came home, never talked about the war. he went through hell, he kept his mouth shut. worked until the day he died at 83 and never asked the government for anything. he never got the g.i. bill, never got medicare. i think the vietnam vets and vets should just shut up, do their job, and go to work, just like my father did, the greatest generation. >>

roger stone. for weeks they've been interviewing some of his key associates, people like michael caputo, long-time friend of roger stone, and others. they have not spoken with stone, which is also a suggestion they want to talk to people in his orbit before talking to him. i think it also signals more broadly the trump team wants this to conclude by september. this is not going to conclude by september. this investigation is ongoing. there's a lot we don't know. there are some key people yet to be interviewed. they ultimately have to determine how to move forward. >> to that point, there's no hard and fast rule the special counsel has to shut down. there's a general principle that within 60 days or so, you don't deliberately do anything that could interfere with that election. james comey is recent exhibit a in how people say don't do it that way. here's jay sekulow, one of the president's lawyers. they continue to make the public case that mueller has a responsibility to shut it down. >> this needs to be over with soon. it's -- i think it's been very bad for the country. we're at a point in this

the people like roger stone and michael cohen, the president's long time attorney. even as all of that fruit has been borne from this investigation, one by one, the law enforcement and counter intelligence leadership actually in charge of the investigation that has led to this, one by one they've been peeling them off and destroying them. the director, james comey, andy mccabe, peter strock's firing today. and i think there's a couple different important consequences of that. the first is about the president's legal liability in this scandal. last june after he was fired, fbi director james comey testified on congress that president trump had improperly pressured him about the fbi's open investigation into trump national security adviser mike flynn. now, at the time, comey said he recognized the president's request to him concerning flynn to be both improper and highly unusual. and so according to his fbi training, he knew what to do next. he immediately wrote down what had happened in that conversation with the president. he wrote in it memo form right after that c

asked them to reopen the investigation, to bring back donald trump jr., to bring back michael cohen, to bring back roger stone. when they closed the investigation, it was so premature and irresponsible, we never subpoenaed any of the documents that you would want to test the stories we were told. as we learn more and more information that's coming out, we see that there is a lot more to learn and that we should actually conduct a real investigation so the american people know what happened. but more important than that, david, so this never happens again. there will be other foreign adversaries that will try to help other presidential candidates, republican and democrat. if congress is not willing to put reforms in place, our democracy will be hit again. >> another tweet. there were a half dozen from the president today. in another one he singled out mueller and the 17 angry democrats. his words. and he said this is the most one-sided witch hunt in the history of our country. some folks in eastern massachusetts might quibble with the president's characterization there. i want to ask you about how this i

another way to get closer to donald trump as candidate and president or roger stone may be the new target, the same way we didn't think michael cohen had anything to be afraid of, suddenly everything changed. paul manafort, same thing. roger stone may be in the next category. >> i remember when bill clinton was president many years ago, rush limbaugh would say how many of your associates do you know who have been indicted or died or been killed under mysterious circumstances, who are in jail, i don't know that many people who are in jail. the insinuation was the clintons must be involved. ask yourself the same question of donald trump now. how many people in his orbit have been indicted at this point? >> that's true. >> the web is tangled. david? >> i was going to say i agree with matt. this playing out on a split screen almost. you have the special counsel investigation getting closer and closer to the president with the possibility of him going in and answering questions, although as matt said i think his lawyers are resisting that. at the same time going back to manafort. you basically have a situation where if you believe

i'm sure, sabrina, the president is worried when he sees what's going on not just with roger stone, but with michaelen in new york, and allen weisselberg, the chief financial officer at the trump organization, have been called to testify as well. i'm sure he's not happy about this. >> absolutely. and i think it's important to recall that although roger stone was removed from the trump campaign in its early stages, he has known trump closely for decades and he has acted as trump's most long-standing political adviser. and so i think if you look at the way in which roger stone increasingly seems to be a target of this investigation and you go through all of these contacts that he did have with the russians, you mentioned guccifer 2.0, he even took a meeting in may of 2016 with the russian national who went by the name, henry greenberg, who claimed to have damaging information about hillary clinton. i think one thing that mueller is certainly interested in is not just what were roger stone's activities and whether or not they were legal, but what specifically did the president know about what roger sto

michael issi koff. what is going on? >> i can attest that kristin davis was very close to roger stone at the crucial period that mueller is looking at. i remember interviewing roger stone at the office of yahoo and kristin davis showed up with him and they left together. so you know, clearly what is interesting here to me is that mueller obviously -- stone obviously remains clearly a subject of mueller's investigation. mueller has farmed out other aspects that he has come across such as michael cohen's taxi stuff and the illegal election money to the southern district in new york. he hasn't done that with roger stone. when that indictment came out a couple of weeks ago about the hacking of the dnc, there was explicit reference to stone. somebody who was in regular touch with donald trump during the 2016 campaign and was in communication with guccifer 2.0. most likely this relates to information that she may have about who stone was in communication with and how he was communicating during that crucial time in september and october. >> yeah, that part of it to me, the only way to make sense that her talking to mueller is h

michael moore, former u.s. assistant attorney glen kershner and jennifer rogers, also an assi assistant u.s. attorney. we have lots of attorneys to take us through this legal case. thank you for joining us. good evening. michael, you're first. negotiations for the possible trump/robert mueller interview moving ahead. here's what "the new york times" is reporting that the president ee 's lawyer rudy giuliani sent his latest proposal and write this, they say "investigators stood firm on the scope of and topics for their questions to mr. trump, possible coordination between his associates and russia ice election interference and whether he tried to obstruct the investigation." adding this, slightly on format. including they want to have mr. trump answer follow-ups in person." do you think that's going to be enough to get the president to sit down for an interview? >> i think he's playing a public relations game now. he tells the public that he wants to sit down, he wants to talk. he's said that for some period of time but his lawyers clearly don't want him to. what's interesting is basically they're askin

a person that transcends the sport of golf as a whole you can compare him to say a roger federer in tennis or a michael jordan in boston all his sponsors dream aside from his own personal struggles in the background i also think it's to do with the manner in which he plays golf he plays with a lot of emotion a lot of passion which he generally never used to see in golf. he had shots that. are unbelievable that you can only imagine that other professionals don't even think of playing at the time in the report. what brooks kept he speaks of tiger woods and he's just beaten him in a tournament. yeah we're just mentioning brooks kept together it looks as though he's going to be one of one of the great players of the modern era willie or anyone like him be able to generate the same sort of x. factor that woods has what do they have to do to try to become the same sort of marketable player that tiger woods is. look i think it's extremely difficult to do tiger woods at his prime was so dominant in the gulf. when it fourteen majors he won seven of eleven between ninety nine yards and two thousand and three and

experience in something that is insightful. >> all right, michael eric dyson, always breaking it down for us, thank you for your insights. >>> ahead, rogerne thinks bob mueller will charge him with a crime. tell you about that next. ♪ as moms, we send our kids out into the world, full of hope. and we don't want something like meningitis b getting in their way. meningococcal group b disease, or meningitis b, is real. bexsero is a vaccine to help prevent meningitis b in 10-25 year olds. even if meningitis b is uncommon, that's not a chance we're willing to take. meningitis b is different from the meningitis most teens were probably vaccinated against when younger. we're getting the word out against meningitis b. our teens are getting bexsero. bexsero should not be given if you had a severe allergic reaction after a previous dose. most common side effects are pain, redness or hardness at the injection site; muscle pain; fatigue; headache; nausea; and joint pain. bexsero may not protect all individuals. tell your healthcare professional if you're pregnant or if you have received any other meningitis b vaccines. ask your healthcare profession

roger thanks for bringing us up to date. u.s. president donald trump has accused his former lawyer michael cohen of lying under pressure from prosecutors investigating campaign finance violations the white house grappling right now with allegations the president orchestrated an illegal cover up to buy the silence of two women who claimed he had affairs with them as a result the president is confronting mounting legal and political threats. in his guilty plea michael cohen admitted to violating campaign finance laws during the twenty sixteen u.s. presidential election he said he was instructed by a candidate it understood to be to trump to make payments to two women to finance their allegations they had extramarital affairs with trump in an interview on fox news trump tonight. did they come out of a campaign they didn't come out of it came from me and i did about it i don't know if you know but i tweeted. about the payments but they didn't come out of the campaign my first question when i heard about it was did they come out of the campaign because that could be a little dicey. the white house this clear. as the president said we've sta

michael mckee. think you for joining us. joining me in new york city is h,at horn back -- matt hornba subadra rajappa and!. .-and james rogersubadra: the message was one of caution and gradualism. they have been hiking one. there is no rush to squeeze in the a lot of hikes over the coming year. i think they will be very cautious. if more hikes are warranted, and proceed as required. jonathan: matt, they are trying to link it back to jackson hole, wyoming. there is nothing that is changed from jackson hole and there is the difference i can see from chairman powell today from the month before. probably gotket ahead of itself trying to make up the story the fed needs to accelerate the pace of hiking. you can see the market is disappointed he was not super hawkish. when you look at what he's telling the marketplace, he is saying we will gradually raise interest rates. there is no reason for them to change course at this point. jonathan: rob? our take on chairman powell's speech is he will continue with this gradual rate increase. he did not really talk about yield curve at all. he highlighted the difficulty of understanding econ

michael cohen matter. this has not referred out. >> that is right and the reason for that is pretty clear which is if you look at the gru, the hacking indictment, the link to roger stone is the collusion stuff. and the heart of the mueller investigation is the question of coordination between the russian interference in the 2016 election and anybody associated with the trump campaign. the person who is most clearly identified with that in the document itself is roger stone. and so i think this is the most public aspect we have other than the trump tower meeting of what is really the heart and soul of the mueller investigation >> and i keep coming back to the point how often he is in contact with senior campaign officials in the indictment of the russian officials. great to have you both. >> thanks so much. >> for more in the legal jeopardy. joined by mimi rocah. broad you are assault on the mueller investigation. here is what he had to say. >> in order to appeal, judge howell's decision, challenging, have to have a contempt order. this is a major precedent set in the case. serious constitutional issues on the appointment clause. >> they already tried once with t

michael isikoff. what is going on? >> good question, chris. look, i can, first of all, attest that kristin davis was very close to roger stone at the crucial period that robert mueller is looking at. i interviewed -- i remember interviewing roger stone at the offices of yahoo! in new york in the closing weeks of the campaign and kristin davis showed up with him handling logistics, side by side and then they left together. so, you know, clearly what's interesting here to me is that mueller obviously -- stone obviously remains very clearly a subject of mueller's investigation. mueller has farmed out other aspects that he's come across, such as michael cohen's taxi stuff and the election -- the illegal election money to the southern district of new york. he hasn't done that with roger stone. when that indictment came out a couple of weeks ago about the hacking of the dnc, there was an explicit reference to stone. not by name but there was no question it was stone he was talking about as somebody who was in regular touch with donald trump during the 2016 campaign and was in communication with guccifer 2.0, the russian military intelligence persona. s

what i've said is i think roger, the same way mueller looks at manafort as a critical piece, michaelical peop piece. he's going to put a sexy charge on the top and final on the back of it. >> what's the financial? >> i don't know. >> andrew miller you said -- >> andrew did a lot of invoices. if i was paid by roger, i would send an invoice to andrew. he's basically an adoptive son to roger. roger placed him in products. >> he was the cfo or the accountant. >> he's a very young man and he's good at these organized, things like that. >> defying subpoenas. you did at one point -- >> he has separate. >> you did agree to comply. what's your take of this strategy? >> this is a total distinction between what i did. i may have gone the course if i thought about it. he's gone to federal court about whether or not the special counsel office defies the aappointment very quickly. basically robert mueller had all this power, why didn't he face a confirmation? he reports to rosenstein, that's a nonsensical to me. >> meet the press and omarosa, also producing the conversation with general kelly. >>

. >> john, this isn't the first associate of roger stone that the special counsel has talked to. sam nunberg, michael caputo were also questioned by the mueller team about him. >> it appears that they're trying to get a very tight timeline on his activities, his contacts with guccifer 2, to find out what his relationship may or may not have been. to either exonerate him or find to press him to admit whatever role he may or may not have had. so, yes, a lot of his associates, much to his chagrin, are being questioned as well as his relationship with other people. >> professor dershowitz, we know the special counsel's team hasn't talked to roger stone yet. is this typically the way works, get all the information from people around someone and then call them in? >> without a doubt. you always want to know the answers to the questions you're going to ask before you call somebody in. you don't want any surprises. it's rare that interviewing somebody like stone would be for purposes of gathering information. it's for purposes of validating information you've already got from others and perhaps, and this is

michael cohen client. frank, let's talk about the signs that thing are tightening around roger stone and tell us where you expect this to be going. >> yeah, roger stone is going to turn out to be a bigger fish than many people realize. we've been focused on manafort and the trump tower meeting and gates but while we're focused on that, mueller's been ratcheting up the effort on stone and why is he doing that? because i believe that stone can put the crime in the collusion concept. by that, i mean the mysterious connections between stone, wikileaks, julian assange, and the hacking into the dnc and the release of those e-mails. mueller is focused on that like a laser because that's where you put meat on bones of collusion. that's where you get hacking charges. you get emoluments charges. you get conspiracy charges. and in the middle of that is roger stone a guy who has been around for years playing dirty politics but i think he may have crossed the line. and mueller knows a lot more about stone than any of us do. why? because the u.s. intelligence community has been monitoring wikileaks and julian assange a

roger stone. but there's still so much that we don't know. michael flynn, for instance, we know his sentencing was delayed at least through november. so what's going on there? he's still cooperating. rick gates, who just finished testifying, he's still cooperating. that came up during the trial. remember, at a bench conference they talked about the government and the defense team talked about his cooperation. the judge did not want it out there publicly. he sealed that bench conference. so what is rick gates still working on with the government? so wolf, clearly in all honesty what we don't know is probably more concerning and should be more troubling in this investigation for the president and the people close to the president than anything else. >> what are you hearing about roger stone and any possible legal involvement affecting him? ? well, wolf, quite frankly, we also -- we have some idea that we know that the former madam was in to see the grand jury. we know that there are two other people, a person who was close to roger stone, andrew miller

michael cohen has been raided by the fbi. he is awaiting his fate one way or another. another associate of roger stone, an associate of his is going to testify on friday. and the president himself has his lawyers back and forth attempting to avoid a sit-down interview with the prosecutors. and when is the last time such a vortex of alleged and confirmed criminal activity spun around the united states presidency? >> watergate and i remember it. the tentacles are spreading and here it is the same thing. and it was very sad. disturbing the fact the president on the one hand, kind of a flim flam, oh, i want to talk to the special prosecutor, and talk to robert mueller, but kind of being a wimp. >> we get this blow by blow. >> he is never going to go before mueller to talk. the president is a liar, systematic. very dangerous for him to go forward. told so many different stories about so many different things. and what it does is reminds me of watergate and we are getting to a very close intense time for him. because they think i think giuliani that if the president doesn't come forward and testify, t

michael flynn. thinks a smart strategy representing the president who just may find himself sitting down across robert mueller later. jennifer rogers, a former prosecutor and attorney bradley moss, good evening to both of you. tonight rudy giuliani was asked about omarosa's claim. >> omarosa also claims that trump knew about the campaign e-mails before wikileaks released them to the public. rudy giuliani says this. watch this. >> if she has some piece of proof that demonstrates that the president was aware of what e-mails they had, what would that mean? >> 100% confident that she does not. i know he did not know. >> if he did? >> i know beyond being his lawyer. >> if he knew, is it a problem? >> no. >> no? >> i am not going to get into the hypotheticals. >> he did not know. he didn't know but if he did it would not be a problem, does this defense makes sense, making it better or worse for the president? >> these are legal defenses. these sorts of arguments are made in front of judges, you would say you know a, the facts support it but b if they don't the law supports it. sometimes it makes sense and sometimes the judge will rule fo

so you have michael cohen who is, you know, under further investigation, roger stone it looks like they're set him back every single day. that's because there may be different stories, but there's always one version of the truth. the president seems to be on the other side of it. >> lying to congress, under whatever circumstances, is considered to be a crime, although obviously somewhat different from lying under oath. that said, given giuliani now, is there anybody who's lied to your committee? >> we believe so. we've asked to send transcripts off to special counsel so they can review that and make that decision themselves. we have a number of concerning, you know, stories that don't match up to the evidence that we've seen. however, not surprising, chairman nunez will not allow those transcripts to go out. we may have to wait until we're in the majority. >> another national-security related topic. john brennan had his secures clearance stripped by the president of the united states, the president saying he's out there saying things the president doesn't want him to say. john brennan has

lawyer michael cohen who signalled he might strike a deal with prosecutors and spill the president's secrets. and the special counsel is interviewing more associates of another long-time aide, roger stone. for months, mr. trump has had one relentless talking point. >> there was no collusion at all. no collusion whatsoever. no collusion. no collusion. absolutely no collusion. >> reporter: with mounting evidence of contacts between mr. trump's campaign and russia, this week the president's attorneys tried a new argument. >> collusion is not a crime. i'm not -- i don't know if it's a crime, colluding about russians. >> reporter: mr. trump said collusion is not a crime but that doesn't matter because there was no collusion. in a pr clean-up attempt, the administration's top intelligence officials held a briefing thursday at the white house. vowing to combat russian interference in the midterms. now, just over 90 dayswa >> we're doing everythingn to have a legitimate election at the -- that the american people can have trust in. >> reporter: hours later -- >> we are being hindered by the russian hoax. >> joining me is roy blunt of missouri, who sits on the senate intelligence committe

rogers and "new york times" columnist frank bruni. as we look at this, during this conversation that michael cohen secretly recorded with donald trump, he talks about one of those payments. allen weisselberg's name is mentioned. listen to this. >> i need to open up a company for the transfer of all of that info regarding our friend david. you know, so that i'm -- need do to that right away. >> give to me. >> i've spoken to allen weisselberg about ho w to set te whole thing up with funding -- >> so begs the question, of course, we know what an integral part weisselberg has been for the trump organization. could this particular episode just be the tip of the iceberg? >> certainly could be. in boxing we call this, we would call it a one-two punch. only two people. in this scenario, it's been a one-two-three punch for president trump. you had his political fixer michael cohen flip. you had one of his close friends, somebody working with michael cohen to squelch stor s stories, to help president trump's campaign, he has flipped. and now you have allen weisselberg and i think -- the importance of this really can't be overstated. one, he ov

roger stone. if you're somebody who did something wrong and you confided that in michael cohen, i imagine you're going to spend tonight staring at the ceiling and not sleeping very well. >> chuck shs let me press you a little bit. it's a great point, and there's been rumblings over the last 12 months about all the people you named, especially people in the president's family. there are lots of questions about whether don junior is in trouble, whether don junior may have not conducted himself before congress or perhaps in front of mueller's investigators. and cohen, having worked for the family, if you take comey's analysis that the family had a special mob-like meaning, could be someone who really does seal the fate of people in the family. >> he was the lawyer for the family. you're exactly right. and so i think that there's probably lots of stuff that michael cohen knows that the southern district of new york wants. and now it's a question of whether or not cohen is willing to give it all and give it truthfully. again, if he is, a lot of folks are going to have a restless night. >> don't go anywhere

michael cohen. that's a choice between a lot of these guys who are part of this investigation. i think roger stone, things are really closing in on him, and that's going to be his choice too. >> potential legal strategies here. thank you so much. appreciate you all. >>> all right, still ahead, a letter from the president. secretary of state mike pompeo hand delivers a message from president trump to a north korean official. so what does this pen pal kind of situation say about the relationship between the two leaders? and later, the trump administration separated hundreds of children from their parents at the border. so why now? are they suggesting, the trump administration, suggesting that someone else should be in charge of bringing these kids and their parents back together? we'll have a legal expert weigh in coming up. the new school year is almost here. and a new iphone from t-mobile is the best way to keep in touch. or keep tabs on their "extra curricular" activities. he skipped orientation for the beach? he takes after me. you know it's true. oh yeah. join t-mobile and get an iphone f

michael cohen has claims that he knows that to be true. another point -- interesting interview with kristen davis, long time associate of roger stone, presidential adviser, et cetera, interview -- also interviewed by the special counsel or testified before the grand jury and mueller was asking questions -- still asking questions about collusion. >> that's right. she said what we've heard from a number of roger stone associates. mueller seems very interested in collusion. it all gets back to this what did roger know and when. he kind of knew what was coming from wikileaks before it happened. so here's what kristen davis told cnn about what the grand jury wanted to know from her. >> i think their really genuinely concerned about whether or not any collusion happened with russia and so their line of questioning really did resolve around whether or not this happened. i think there's the general concern for some things that he seemed to predict. his tweets. the podesta tweet, you know, has been the subject of much controversy all over the media and also puts him in a position to wonder how he was able to predict. >> now, of course, roger stone insist

michael cohen's a convicted felon, as a lawyer for trump, he knowingly helped trump break the law to influence an election. roger stone has darkly predicted both his own indictment and that of donald trump jr. now this week. it's a lot. >>> but tonight, exactly one week out from that cohen plea deal we still don't know why cohen pled guilty this particular way. we don't know if he'll ever cooperate with the feds in new york, or bob mueller. and when you think about it that's remarkable. unlike, say, stone who just resists cooperation, or manafort who faced down a whole trial before any conversations about a plea, michael cohen had been openly auditioning for cooperation. he was leaking that he had a story to tell. his new lawyer lanny davis was telling everyone who would listen, including my colleague rachel maddow, that cohen knew things of interest to bob mueller, and still knows them, a trumpian way to communicate with mueller, basically yelling on tv come interview us. and yet there are zero reports up to tonight that mueller's team has interviewed cohen. and cohen's own legal team hasn't suggested it happen

this tweet from twenty fifteen when michael cohen address hillary clinton saying when you go to jail forty fourth in america your room and board will be free well roger says don't believe what you hear cohen didn't plead guilty to campaign finance charges don't believe what you see man a fourth wasn't found guilty for tax evasion and fraud just believe rudy the truth is not the truth and this cartoon of hillary clinton eating popcorn is also being shed with the caption nice to see all the men who chanted lock her up actually being locked up manifold guilty and cohen pleads guilty then we have some more sharing. referring to donald trump where they seem to think that the walls are closing in on him and there is this poster that they're referring to which is about his campaign slogan which is make america great again but instead it goes with my attorney got arrested then the democratic party supporters are also adding blue wave images next to their names many also using the hash tag the blue wave is coming but then there are some supporters that have also come out in force criticizing the investigation mike says fourteen million dollars later mullen ha

michael, thank you as well. programming alert for you. don't miss maria bartiromo's wall street tonight. sneak peak with special guest tj rodgers. he's the ceo of rogers of cypress semiconductor's. >> i think tesla is not a mature enough company yet to be a public company. the prior guest indicated that and i think going private might be good for them so they can get their company more mature before their dealing with public. adam: don't miss effort tonight at 8:00 p.m. right here on the fox as is our great alexandria ocasio-cortez maybe the new darling of the far left wing of the democratic party but she really voice the party needs are now as midterms, but we will talk about that next. how do you win at business? stay at laquinta. where we're changing with contemporary make-overs. then, use the ultimate power handshake, the upper hander with a double palm grab. who has the upper hand now? start winning today. book now at lq.com. adam: this is in. reports a judge has ordered monsanto by 289 million dollars in damages related to the trial claiming something known as [inaudible] caused cancer in the school grounds keeper in california with it's a widel

roger stone. sarah murray, cnn, washington. >> this is certainly a tawdry development as a part of this investigation. joining me to discuss, a former director at the nixon presidential library and michael moore, former u.s. attorney for the middle district of georgia. thank you both for joining us this morning. tim, let me start with you. so interviewing a former new york madam, what's going on here? where is that leading us? >> i'm not sure where it's leading us. but i suspect that this has to do, as mr. stone has said, himself, this has to do with the special prosecutor's interests in the relationship if any between mr. stone an wikileaks and gucifer 2.0 a going indictment described as actually an alias for russian military intelligence. it's perfectly logical what you want to do is figure out from the associates of the people that are of interest whether or not these improprietys occurred. i would point out mr. stone in his statement to cnn did say that collusion with russia and collaboration with wikileaks were both improprietys. he denies he did either one. actually unlike president trump, he's actually admitted those things are not hoaxes, indeed, they are proper. it's why they a
