useful michael wolfe. it most of them have been discredited for one reason or another but they are useful for the by any means necessary remove trump approach to things. >> they are also emblematic of the president brought them into the white house, including michael wolfe who the president gave credit to he brought omarosa into the white house. he gave her a job.or their security protocols were so lax she could record things in the white house, including in the situation room. she saying things about her colleagues. you are saying you don't have a nondisclosure agreement, if you -- but do you have any agreement with the president? you've been treated pretty poorly and you've been very nice to him, i think, since you left the white house. there is a lot of dysfunction in the white house and omarosa is just pointing that out and weg are going to hear more and more tapes i think in the weeks -- days and weeks to come. >> laura: is there any dysfunction and omarosa herself? there's dysfunction in the white ho

so, they tried to have a strategy of not giving her attention, unlike the michael wolf book, but it seems to be backfiring. >> her credibility has been an issue, but how damaging are the claims as it relates to racism? >> her credibility is a question right now. she went on npr over the weekend and claims she heard the president say the "n" word. she heard a tape of him saying that and outtakes of "the apprentice." in the book, she doesn't say that. three unnamed sources heard it and told her. those inconsistencies help the white house in making this controversy go away when there are questions about the president's attitudes toward race, divisive rhetoric and things we know he has said. >> daniel, your colleagues say she fears her life is in jeopardy, giving family members tapes she has that she is murdered. what are you hearing? >> she is wearing disguises. it seems farfetched that president trump is going to go after omarosa and hire a hit man against her. those types of statements she has made shows paranoia and there is no evidence that trump is having hired goons to go after her. th

. >> just like michael wolf and his retirement funds. it's like i'm a breakup you cannot get over for some reason i'm out there living my best life and he is tweeting at me. [laughter] seventeen _spee17 thanks for coming coming out to have a good time. one of that the george washington university space, two great entrepreneurs pull this together. also to c-span is here lies so everything you have done this is carried live. and all to all of my books --dash the people that have pulled this off but with that media spin cycle what have you learned about yourself in the media? >> my wife says i should have a straw hat. and that makes me slightly uncomfortable. and a lot of people ask questions about a book they have not read. >> director this book is largely about leadership in part of your original idea of leadership both and confident enough? >> it requires enough sense of so the basic convictions that i am okay that also allows you to realize i have not okay enough to learn to other listen to other people that requires that balance. and t

bob woodward is not michael wolf, he is not omarosa. he is a pulitzer prize winning reporter that does meticulous fact checking and brought them another president. >> today with carl bernstein as we remember. jeffrey toobin, a troubling development today, a different story. the fbi arrested a man that called into the newsroom of the boston globe, made a chilling threat, according to court documents, this individual said, quote, you're the enemy of the people and we're going to kill every expletive one of you. the phrase the enemy of the people, we know where that comes from, the president saying it, including today in his tweets. does the president realize where his angry words going after the american news media as the enemy of the american people, does he realize that god forbid, where that could lead? >> i mean, he certainly shows no worry about it because he keeps talking about the news media that way. you know, i think when presidents speak they have sort of a hydraulic effect. it has more power than just the words itself because t

i would expect people would look at this compared to the michael wolfe book to see if there is overlap.>> reporter: even the president himself wrote in a tweets that his words might seem not presidential. he has bent on discrediting the charges. omarosa manigault newman said she would share recordings with robert mueller if he would ask for him -- ask for them. >> could omarosa manigault newman be in actual legal trouble for recording those conversations?>> reporter: there is no law against it. the district of columbia rep prior -- requires that only one party give consent. it is unclear exactly what device she used tape the conversations. >>> prosecutors in the paul manafort trial rested their case today. the former chairmancharged with money laundering and tax fraud. he is also accused of obtaining bank loans under false pretenses. manafort's team will begin presenting their case tomorrow. they are expecting to place boehm -- place blame on rick gates. >>> coming up tonight at 10:30, the concerns discussed about election interference in light of the russia investigation. >>> new deve

certainly not with the michael wolf book in the past and previous breaks from this white house. again, it's all around this third rail or central rail of race, you know. this idea of race and racism. you see president trump row aeag in a strong way in trying to discredit her. >> is, ron, the president being racist with calling her a dog? yes, he used it in other ways. when you read those tweets about ted cruz or mitt romney or chuck todd, they are saying fired like a dog or acted like a dog. here he is calling her an animal. >> the president is appealing to white racial resentment more openly than any national figure since george wallace in either party. she cited other examples of don lemon and lebron james. we can talk about him describing maxine waters as a low iq individual. she's been in politics and had a lot of fights. you can say a lot of things about her. that's really quite a stretch. the important point here is that these kinds of fights, these kinds of twitter fights, often with people of color, is what he does. this is not a moment of peak. this is not an unplanned

fire and fury became a best seller when the president attacked michael wolf.ere hasn't been as much interest in omarosa's book. i think that speaks to the fact that a lot of people don't find her credible. "washington post" said that the details on the tapes matched the details in the book. so there is some evidence that some of what she is saying has some bearing. no matter what you think of omarosa she spent a year in the white house. she spent a year there right along side the president. she was the highest ranking black employee in the white house. for her to turn on him in this way is absolutely stunning. >> there is also this $15,000 a month contract she says that she was offered by the trump campaign to stay quiet about her time in the white house. today counselor to the president kellyanne conway pushed back on the idea that this is unusual. here she is. >> it is typical and you know it -- to sign an nda in any place of work. i'm told she signed them when she was on the apprentice and at the campaign. why not have somebody -- >> you signed a nondisclos

we have seen him do this with the other -- >> with the michael wolfe quote. >> and he's surrounded by people d d duplicit. you end up with everybody back biting. that's what you are seeing with this group right now. one of the reasons the president of the united states, rather than paying attention to the country's business tonight, thinking about the fact there is a financial crisis in turkey, children are being ripped from their parents in the southern border, he's tweeting about a reality show contestant all day long because he feels betrayed. >> thank you very much for starting us off tonight. really appreciate this. and when we come back, donald trump has a new explanation and what he thinks is a defense of the trump tower meeting with russians during the presidential campaign. but it's not a very strong defense of donald trump jr. if you have moderate to severe plaque psoriasis or psoriatic arthritis, little things can be a big deal. that's why there's otezla. otezla is not an injection or a cream. it's a pill that treats differently. for psoriasis, 75% clearer skin is achievabl

i think michael wolfe would be the first to admit the white house's severe attack on his credibility,t helped book sales because people were wondering what is this whole thing about? and so another problem is the white house has not seen a full copy of the book which comes out this week. so they don't really know what they are responding to when they are trying to fight back against omarosa. >> let's talk about the president's criticism of attorney general jeff sessions. he said he is scared stiff in this most recent tweet but in the past he has called him beleaguered and said he's in a peak position. sessions has not rescinded his recusal and he hasn't intervened with the russia investing and not pushed for a second counsel to look into the investigation against hillary clinton. the slams are ineffectual here. >> they also provide grift for robert mueller and his taegs. "the new york times" reported they are looking at trump's tweets constantly criticizing the doj to see if that is part of obstruction. sessions, when he did has recusal, he was looking way down the line, years ahead i

go back to michael wolf, "fire and fury." and in the short-term there's a big reaction, and then it seems to sort of fade into oblivion almost as the frez has tonpresi continued to deflect. certainly it's things that come out that affect the credibility. but this is again going to be another instance where i think there's a lot of questions raised but some of them unverifiable and there will be a broader question what her credibility is. >> yeah, and of course we'll see if more tapes are released. another big issue sunday was the white supremacist rally in washington, d.c. that ended up being much smaller than anyone expected. why do you think so few people turned up compared to last year in charlottesville, virginia? >> what might that signal to you? >> well, i think this is actually one of the positive stories coming out of the united states right now, which is there's been a backlash against the hate, against white nationalism as a result in part of charlottesville and of a racial politics that many people see as being sto

to see does the president go after her the way went after the last sort of tell-all book, the michael wolf back. >> does he worry more about her than he does say rick gates? i mean, he's rlly been singing, if you will, at the paul manafort trial and he may be going beyond just the paul manafort trial. >> that's right. i thinkref you'redent trump as much as you may, you know, omarosaould hurt you politically. i think existential threat to the esidency, it's not just rick gates, it's paul manafort. we're getting to the end of the trial, and -- a we're getting to the end of the prosecution's case. look, this is the last window that manafort mig have to try to cut a deal before he presents his case. as you know, sometimes that happs after they waitnd see, but if they do present a defense next week,oi we're to a bably be in -- waiting for verdict probably by this time next week. waiting for a verdict or a verdict, a w thatl propel the next step in the mueller in astigation. thumption is that they have the paper trail to get their guilty verdict, but, he you never know, and that will be a setbac

similar to what we saw after michael wolf published his explosive book, we will likely hear more from the white house attempting to poke holes again in omarosa's arguments. >> in the meantime president trump slamming his own attorney general jeff sessions in of an afternoon tweet storm. >> that's right, president trump taking to twitter to voice displeasure with his own department of justice, with his own fbi. here are the tweets from president trump. he writes, quote, the big story that the fake news media refuses to report is low life christopher steeles many meeting with attorney general bruce orr and his wife. it was steele that was hired to write the phoney dossier paid for crooked hillary clinton do you believe nellie and her husband still works for the department of justice in quotation marks. i've never seen anything so rigged in my life. our attorney general is erred scared stiff and missing in action. ig report soon. witch hunt. a number of things to fact check with the tweets, ana i will keep it simple. bruce orr was never the deputy attorney general. he did work in the off

remember a year ago when michael wolf's book fi"fire and fury" ce out, that was a troubling period for the white house, they spent as few weeks to speak back the narrative and i don't think they did successfully. they would be in the same situation of omarosa's book. they have been trying to keep the president from tweeting about it. >> i got to ask you phil, what do you think the chances are the president after some point after she goes on "meet the press" on sunday and "today" show that he will not stop tweeting about it. >>> phil ruck >> chances are i don't think he'll be able to refuse himself. >> phil rucker and michael. thank you. >> thank you on msnbc will share a story a man dedicating his life to helping others, watch "breaking hate" at 9:00 p.m. eastern on msnbc. we'll continue this conversation throughout the hour including a humanitarian crisis. a federal judge made a plan to turn around and stop deportation and sharply criticized president trump's ill congratulatimmigrat. >> major developments in the trump's campaign trial. we are watching an unusual recessing in court rig

and, you know, like the michael wolfe book which was problematic because it had some errors so you couldn't rely on everything, but it did reveal quite a bit about the white house. to me, i'm very interested in what it tells about this white house and the fact that she knew donald trump for so long and now thinks a certain way about him. >> when she was interviewed this morning she seemed to imply that she did these recording for safekeeping because she almost saw it coming that her credibility would be questioned at some point. and omarosa is saying this is just the nature of the white house. so amie, do you think other people could have recordings? >> i mean, this comes on the heels of michael cohen, keep in mind, trump's personal attorney, who was also recording him. this is kind of in the backdrop of that. now two people who have been in trump's orbit feel the need to record. that says something about who the president is and the fact that a lot of people around him at the time feel like he isn't lying and the only way that they can prove their case is if they are actually providing a r

we saw it with the michael wolf book. the tweets and the comments about the book that was discredited in sourcing, but got a ton of attention and thereby sold a ton of books. this is how it operates. >> dana: i think perhaps -- it's an interesting strategy. when i worked in that world, it's not one i followed. but i think the president tweets for fire and fury, helped to discredit and thinking that nobody will be defending me against omarosa so i better do it myself. >> sure. in the past that has worked over time to his supporters buck them up and say this is nonsense. but he also creates his own vortex of controversy when he ends a tweet calling a female a dog that worked for him and he hired in his white house. i'm just pointing out that these are things that the news cycle could be different had one tweet not appeared this morning. we'll see how the rest of the day goes. >> dana: i expect there will be litigation against her. that could go on for a while. if they decide to do that, it opens it up to discovery and you h

in a lot of ways, kristen, this feels like when the michael wolfe book came out in january of 2018. there are a lot of anecdotes out there. the white house is playing defense, trying to stay within the lane of not trying to question and disprove everyone, especially those anecdotes that they aren't in a position to affirmatively disprove. it is a difficult position for the white house. it is a challenge. every day, as you mentioned, there is a trickle, and there is a question on whether or not there are potentially more tapes. the interesting thing about the audio tapes, and you and i know this because of the medium we work in, they're different than a simple quote. you really hear inflection in these tapes. you heard that in the john kelly tape. you heard it in the president, the way president trump was talking to omarosa. the tapes have resonance. the sound has resonance. we'll see if any more leak out later today. >> hans, i'll see you a little later at the white house. thank you for that reporting. >>> with me now to break it all da down, donna edwards, the first african-america

remember, there was some legal back and forth related to michael wolf's book as the trump campaign trieds is not a strategy we have not seen both donald trump and the white house and donald trump more broadly as a politician and as a person. i don't think it's surprising. by the way, another thing we know about donald trump, he really loves those non-disclosure agreements. none of this is all that shocking. it does ramp things up. i'm with shan. the likeliest thing is omarosa is a manifestation of donald trump. i think the most likely thing you will see is, what would donald trump do if faced with arbitration over allegations he was making? he would probably just keep going. my guess is that's what omarosa will do. >> thanks, chris. appreciate you guys. we will continue to see in omarosa puts out a statement, what her reaction is. we continue to follow the bouncing ball. >>> peter strzok is out, much to president trump's pleasure. does that impact the russia investigation? we will ask a top member of the house judiciary committee where this goes next. this school year, get a new iphone f

in some ways, this is a follow-up to "fire and fury," the michael wolfe book that shocked the countryis different because this is an insider. omarosa worked in the white house for a better part of a year. then was forced out by white house chief of staff john kelly. the book is not doing as well as "fire and fury" did so far. but we'll see if that changes in the coming days. one of the most startling accusations involved this contract. she says she was offered a contract to work for the campaign, you know, once she was dumped at the white house. they were very restrictive language. an nda, a nondisclosure agreement. she says they were trying to pay her to stay silent about her experiences at the white house. the "washington post" did review a copy of that contract. we know at least that claim she's making does check out. >> i have to imagine the white house is going to do everything they can to try and question omarosa's credibility when it comes to some of these topics. already, some of these pretty bold statements that she's made have been disputed. >> right. >> if the white house d

obviously, they want to avoid a situation that resulted from, say, michael wolf's fire and fury book,here there was a lot of disputed information. that suggested to me at least there could be additional information in there that is backed up by recordings and if and when the white house attempts to challenge potentially some of the more damaging information in this book, that could be an occasion where they come forward with documentation or even a recording to show what they say is accurate. >> does this bring to mind the old phrase with friends like this, who needs enemies? >> no, i think it brings to mind the phrase if you mess with the bull, you get the horns. because president trump knew exactly what he was getting by making omarosa a west wing adviser. she has a reputation of using any means to put herself first. she stabs in the back. she stabs in the front. and it's not a problem. it's really sport. so i don't know what the tapes are going to reveal, but the fact is, he gave her this privilege and access and he knows her, he knew her reputation not only behind closed doors but

lot of problems with him as a political actor, but steve bannon who very quickly identified to michael wolfe and other people and the obstruction of justice thing was going to be the thing that would hang trump because of the fact firing comey is the worst political decision you've ever made because he knew, not necessarily directly, not necessarily because he was involved in putting together these timelines but because he was everywhere in that white house and he knew what the truth of these stories were, it's why he always grasped the obstruction of justice thing was such a difficult problem for trump and why some of the things we're hearing michael cohen has been saying are also things steve bannon even if he wasn't in the room he knew about enough from being around. you want to know where trump's problems are go back and read all the stuff steve bannon has said in the past. this obstruction thing is one of the key ones. >> barbara mcquaid, what is donald trump's best defense at this point at this stage of the evidence as we know it. >> well, i think he would have to -- i don't know that

you had the michael wolf book, the amarosa book now. we are waiting to see a new book from bob woodward, the pulitzer prize winning reporter from the "washington post." "fear, trump and the white house" that's coming out as well. there is speculation about what might be in that book. put all these three together. what's the picture that they paint together of this administration? how does amarosa's book enhance or tell something different about the way this administration works or doesn't? >> well, i'm going take those first two books, because i think there might be some comm commonalities there between "fire and fury". we don't know what to expect from bob woodward's book, but the potentially differentiating factor would be that bob woodward is a veteran reporter who goes to great lengths to make sure he gets every detail right and that his published work is unimpeachable. that wasn't necessarily the case with michael wolff's book. there were a lot of questions about his sourcing technique, and the voracity of some of the anecdotes he

after her after the president came out and gave millions of dollars by going after his book of michael wolfomarosa's book. >> just for the record, that is brian kilmeade saying that omarosa outsmarted president trump. everything he said is accurate. i'm surprised. do you think he's trying to get through to him. >> a deep burn. trying to get through the president. we have seen the president do this. he doesn't learn. he runs into the same trap. did it with james comey's book number one i think -- >> for weeks. >> for weeks. because the president didn't like it and couldn't stop himself and the fact that his advisers told him not to do it, come on. that never works. she is a creature of the trump administration, of the trump way of doing things and putting the lessons to use. >> simone, there's a question of how do democrats combat president trump. omarosa said something to trevor last night that i want to get your response. >> giving strategic advice now? >> give a listen of how to defeat president trump. this is what she had to say. >> there's one way to shut donald trump down. and that is,

wolf. but i'll say this. each time that michaelohen makes a statement that ultimately is proven to be true regarding donald trump, i think that boosts his credibility as it relates to various issues. >> if there's no trial, and there won't be a trial, he's already pleaded guilty, will the public see the evidence against cohen? >> well, i think they may very well see the evidence against cohen, and donald trump in connection with our case. because this does not have a bearing as to whether our case proceeds or not. our case is going to proceed. we're going to proceed with the civil case. and i think we're going to be entitled to all, if not close to all, the information and the evidence relating to that count eight concerning $130,000 payment to my client. and, you know, i want to bring your viewers back to that moment, and i'm sure they're going to remember it. that statement that the president -- the statements the president made on air force one, the people's plane, where he denied any knowledge of that $130,000 payment and direc

the president was able to help discredit fire and fury the michael wolfe book.o you think maybe he feels he has to push back against her because he is the only one with another fire power to do that? >> clearly he feels that way in this instance he did not need to. she was on her way out. nobody was believing her. i don't think her book would have sold all that well. he brought it back to life with that tweet. when you have cnn and the other outlets trashing omarosa's credibility because of the contradictions that she has been caught in. npr did the same thing to her. you don't bring her back. you don't go lower than her low, because, when you do that you make yourself and own tweet the story instead of her behavior the story. he was on the verge, the white house is on the verge of winning this one and now they are losing it again because the president went too far. >> dana: we will see today if sarah sanders is going to brief any moment we will bring it to you live. turn the page on it a lot of news including all that's happening in turkey i'm sure she will get

when it comes to those questions about michael cohen and paul manafort. wolf, what we can report is i'm told by a source close to the white house that they were over at the white house hoping for a very different day, hoping for a favorable verdict in the paul manafort case because they were planning to use that favorable verdict either a mistrial or a not guilty verdict to attack the mueller investigation. that was the plan for the white house and their aides, advisers and supporters out in the republican party and conservative circles. that obviously did not come to pass. as for the michael cohen case, i'm told by the same source that the plan over at the white house -- >> hold on a moment. jim, i want to see if he answers reporters' questions. stand by for a moment. all right. so there's the president. they were shouting questions from reporters. he clearly ignored the questions. he's got a little welcoming reception there in charleston. hold on for one more moment. >> pauftd'sl manafort's a good . he was with ronald reagan. he was with a lot of very differ

and i think omarosa has chosen to write the latter book, which is the "fire and fury" book which michael wolf wrote was exceptionally successful from a monetary standpoint. much more successful than my book, unfortunately. omarosa has decided that for her, i think she's made the strategic decision that it was better for her to go out and say things, which clearly seem to be unfounded or at least unverified , on a number of occasions to promote her book, which is out and give her an opportunity to continue to have a forum in the main stream media and she's been able to do that. mrs. feldmann: i have to ask you about the president's language. mr lewandowski i mean, you have. mr lewandowski: i do. mrs. feldmann: and we have a president who feels the need to refer to another human being as a dog. so and i know your motto is let trump be trump, but how do you feel about him using that kind of language? what does, is he modeling good behavior for your children? mr lewandowski: you know, i have to tell you, i grew up in lowell, massachusetts, a little tougher than cambridge, but that being said, lif

wolf. the president's first public remarks since michael cohen implicated him in a crime yesterday. and the president is attempting to rewrite history about when he knew of these payments that michael cohen made to these women who allege they had affairs with trump, which contradicts a tape that says otherwise. and wolf, that comes as the white house is struggling to mount a defense of any kind in response to cohen's claims. president trump under siege tonight as one aide's conviction and another ally's guilty plea engulf the white house. the president commenting on michael cohen for the first time since he said under oath trump directed him to pay two women who claimed they had affairs with trump. >> did you know about the payments? >> later on i knew. later on. >> reporter: trump claiming he didn't know about the payments until later on. even though he's on tape discussing how to pay one of the women -- >> when it comes time for the financing, which will be -- >> what financing? >> we'll have to pay -- >> pay with cash. >> no. no, no, no. i've got -- no, no, no. >> reporter: trump

look at the money michael wolf made, millions of dollars. millions of dollars in writing his book.ia. >> one important point that came out of this entire story that i think people are missing. "the washington post" reported yesterday that omarosa was offered by layer raleigh trump a $15,000 a month contract by the trump campaign to keep silent. this the same amount of money keith schiller, oval office operations, was offered. what's going on here? is this shady hush money? is the rnc and campaign being used for that? i don't know. >> i think you're asking a rhetorical question. omarosa famously said this on "front line" on pbs that set the world afire at that time. i'm wondering, what does she think about it now? let's take a look at that. >> every critic, every detractor will have to bow down to president trump. it's everyone who's ever doubted donald, whoever disagreed, whoever challenged him. it is the ultimate revenge to become the most powerful man in the universe. >> i mean, i didn't know she was talking about putin, but, karine, she's going to have to live down those words,

political and legal implications, let's ask the attorney for the middle district of georgia, michael moore and zach wolfth the legal. michael what does this mean as far as michael cohen, what does it mean legally for the president of the united states? >> well, i mean, trump's name was among the cohen plea, details, he is essentially involved. we know that apparently at his direction, this fec violation and this crime was conducted. so i don't think there is any more questions about a witch hunt. he can chant at rallies. there is no more talk about. that it tells me this whom cooperation angle is very much in play. i want you to remember there are two district investigations the southern district of new york and the bob mueller investigation. those were intentionally separated by mueller so it was within his purview as he looked at russia, he didn't want to bring cohen into to it to give the president and his reporters something oto crow about. there is a rule 75 in criminal practice. a defendant can come back within a year after sentencing and cooperate with the government the government can go to the

if these plea negotiations fall apart, it is expected that michael cohen will be indicted. now, wolf, we reached out to the u.s. attorney's office. they declined to comment. we've not heard from cohen's attorneys either for any comment on our reporting. >> stand by for a moment, kara. i want to get back to you. shimon, what else are you learning? >> wolf, some of what we're told the u.s. attorney there in new york has been looking at are payments michael cohen received. this all came out that he received them for potential lobbying, potential influence at the white house and other places. some of the people who have come before the grand jury there in new york were asked questions about this money, about the money that michael cohen had paid them. some of them who have been asked to appear before the grand jury, they were told they did not need to appear right now while prosecutors could be close to negotiating this plea deal. of course, keep in mind, as kara said, at any time this could fall apart. there are some questions about money, whether or not what kind of fine potentially mi

is this part the president's plan to discredit michael cohen and possibly set the stage for pardoning paul manafort? >> absolutely, wolfthe president's allies and the president himself engaged in what can only be an effort to discredit michael cohen and to call him a liar who simply can't be trusted. you saw a preview of that message from president trump this morning on twitter. he accused michael cohen of breaking but said that he -- implied he was a bad lawyer. implying also that anything that michael cohen might have offered up in exchange for his plea deal could not be relied on. however, it's clear that this is not going to be a case of michael cohen's word against the president's. there would also have to be proof. that's something that the president did not discuss at all in his morning tweet about cohen. >> what's the mood over there inside the white house right now? how did staffers react when this really significant, historic news broke about manafort and cohen? >> that's right, wolf. double barreled bad news day for the white house yesterday. left so many white house staffers simply stunned by these developm

the wolf book. michael wolff. this is it. fire and fury. it's going to end his presidency. >> there is a lot we just don't know. special counsel has been very quite. but they said there has bean lot of disinformation in the press. so, you know, there is a lot of stuff coming out. kennedy: the on thing he didn't say is hashtag fake news. bring back the fake news. we'll bring back the panel later in the show. first up. space force it's coming and the trump campaign wants you to help pick the new logo. fantastic choices. we'll show you all of them after the break. the republic canning party barely squeak out wins tuesday night. it's easy to think that all money managers are pretty much the same. but while some push high commission investment products, fisher investments avoids them. some advisers have hidden and layered fees. fisher investments never does. and while some advisers are happy to earn commissions from you whether you do well or not, fisher investments fees are structured so we do better when you do better. maybe that's why most of

theoretically it's possible i guess, in the most theoretical sense, that michael cohen is telling wolfer or whoever on the side of something that he's been having his lawyer go and deny witches, i do have dirt on trump. but of course that didn't happen. what other sources could cnn possibly have given what the claim is? the claim is, michael cohen intends to go and tell robert mueller that he was there when trump got advanced knowledge of theto trump tower meeting. if a lanny davis is saying that his own client has denied that under oath of congress twice both last year and after the cnn meeting, what other source could possibly be in a position to dispute that? ludicrous. >> so very quickly. you're almost out of time but, give us some context.at it doesn't seem to give viewers the chance to explain what this is about. >> that to me as a real issue, journalists rightly demand transparency from powerful and institutions, but now can cnn have any property to do that. they say talk to our p.r. spokesperson who then refuses to answer any questions. they have zero credibility if they don't

we turn to a man who watched wolf of wall street three times, michael kosta, everybody! ) >> bonjour, trev. that's rich for hello. ( laughter ) >> trevor: okay. kosta, hope through you can explain, trump gave wealthy people a tax cut last year. why another one. >> cool it with the class warfare. it just so happens anyone can take advantage of the tax cuts. let's say you made a cool mill off a ten-year hedge fund investment. you can reindex the baseline 2% to account for inflation which means you just got extra 30k. that will cover my penis reduction. right, trevor? i can loan you a couple of inches. just kidding. i know you've got a hog. ( cheers and applause ) >> trevor: most people don't have $10 million. we're talking about the middle class. >> middle class. that's fine. let's say you're a middle class yacht owner like 35 feet max, couldn't land a helicopter on that thing. you could use these cuts as a tax shelter, borrow 500,000 to invest in buddy dino's porn business, deduct the interest and pay tax only on the invested gains. i say ching, you say cha. cha! do you w

in the most theoretical sense, that michael cohen is telling carl bernstein or wolf blitzer or whoeverthe side, something that he is then having his own lawyer go deny it, which is that i have dirt on donald trump, and then having his lawyer deny it. like it's theoretically true but of course that didn't happen. what other sources could cnn possibly have given with the claim is? the claim is, michael: intends to go and tell robert mueller that he was there when trump got advanced knowledge of the trump tower meeting. if lanny davis is saying that his own client has denied that under oath of congress twice, both last year and then again after the cnn meeting, how could any source possibly end up being in that the position to dispute that? the entire posture of cnn. >> tucker: it very quickly, you've been in journalism a long time. doesn't cnn have some sort of obligation to viewers to explain what this is all about? >> that to me is the real issue. journalists rightly demand transparency from powerful institutions, that's our job. but how can cnn have any credibility to do that when you

>> reporter: wolf, when he was subpoenaed last month for testimony in the investigation of michael cohen, a former trump organization employee told cnn that this was the ultimate nightmare scenario for trump because what weisselberg knows anything and everything about the trump organization's finances. and, wolf, that's because he is the trump organization's chief financial officer. he's been with the company for decades. he's even worked with trump's father before he joined trump's organization. he -- when trump became the president, he put weisselberg in control of the company along with the two sons and his knowledge is not just at the trump organization. he's helped prepare donald trump's taxes and he's a treasurer of the trump found decision and the ties with donald trump are very deep, wolf. >> know about the specifics of the immunity deal? >> reporter: right, wolf. a source tells us that weisselberg was given immunity for the testimony. he went in and testified about several weeks ago. the questions were focused on michael cohen and the payments that surrounding those hush money p

wolf blitzer. you said that michael cohen was present for a meeting with then-candidate trump and don jr.bout the trump tower meeting. this is important. you also said that michael cohen testified truthfully to the senate intelligence committee and according to the chair and vice chair of the committee, he told them he had no knowledge of the meeting until he saw it in the press. how can both of those things be true? either he knew about the meeting or he didn't know about the meeting. >> well, i think the reporting of the story got mixed up in the course of a criminal investigation. we were not the source of the story. and the question of a criminal investigation, the advice we were given, those of us dealing with the bee ya, is that we could not do anything other than stay silent. >> so can you say now whether in fact michael cohen has information that president trump was aware either before the trump tower meeting that don jr. was part of with russian attorney from the kremlin with dirt on hillary clinton, either that michael cohen has information that president knew about it in advanc

attacks and the revelations about david pecker's role in helping michael cohen facilitate these hush money payments? >> reporter: yeah, wolf, you're right. this is a big deal, and it's not good news for president trump. "the wall street journal" reporting that david pecker and an editor at the national enquirer have been granted immunity in this case. before, we had previously reported that david pecker had been subpoenaed in all this. we knew that he told prosecutors in the southern district of new york, which is investigating michael cohen and these hush payments made to these women alleging they had affairs with the president, that he told them that president trump was aware of those payments at the time. that would contradict what the white house and what president trump have tried to say for several months now, including prurp president trump on camera yesterday saying he didn't know about the payments until later on, even though there's an audio recording of him and michael cohen discussing how to make one of the payments. this is big news because david pecker is a long-time ally of the president. that's why he had a

wolf. as the president is facing enormous pressure here, he's attempting to rewrite history of when he knew about those payments that michael cohen made to the two women who claim that they had affairs with the president. that's causing a headache for his aides back here at the white house who are rattled by the news that michael cohen made yesterday and are still struggling to mound a defense of any kind in response to this. ♪ president trump under siege today as one aide's conviction and another allies guilty plea engulf the white house. the president commenting on michael cohen for the first time since he said under oath trump directed him to pay two women who claimed they had affairs with trump. >> did you know about the payments? >> later on i knew. later on. >> reporter: trump claiming he didn't know about the payments until later on. even though he's on tape discussing how to pay one of the women -- >> coming time for the financing which will be -- >> what is it? what financing? >> well, i have to pay -- >> pay with cash? oi no, no, no. no, no, no. >> reporter: trump claiming the payments weren't illegal. >> they wer

michael caputo. great to see you. chuck todd is not the lone ranger. wolfon this week asked shouldn't impeachment proceedings begin immediately. isn't it true that the mainstream media has all but convicted the president in the court of public opinion and forget the little niceties called evidence and fairness and law and a trial? >> we know this whole court proceeding has been going on for 18 months on all the different networks over and over again, and you know, this whole trump derangement syndrome has settled in pretty solidly. when they think republicans in the house are going to initiate impeachment proceedings over something like this bogus, you know, implication of the president by michael cohen, that's outrageous. listen, i think we're closer to impeachment than we ever were, if the democrats take over the house. absolutely, they will impeach the president for jaywalking if they take over the house. we need to remember that on november 6th. gregg: yet nancy pelosi said a few days ago impeachment's not on her agenda. what do you make of that? >> wel
