administration that's not even two years old, whether it's omarosa, whether it's the steve bannon/michael wolf book, whether it's the book that's about to come out from a former special assistant to president trump. we've seen enough dysfunction and chaos written about in this white house to last us a lifetime. and i think, more importantly, to send a shudder down everyone who knows the key truth, that people are policy. and unfortunately, far from the best people, this president has, as chris christie writes, i think, collected grifters and amateurs and sprikconvicted and unconvicted felons, people who are now setting the agenda and setting the policy to which we're all subject. >> and that's not even to mention books by journalists like bob woodward who were sourced inside the administration with those details as well. ned price live in washington, d.c., thanks, ned. and here is something that is certain to make you smile, mohammed ali called his hometown in louisville, kentucky, one of the greatest cities in america. now the city is paying tribute to the late boxer and humanitarian by namin

well as that hush money scheme in which michael cohen and federal prosecutors implicated the president in two federal crimes. democrats are telling me tonight, wolf, that they still want to hear from michael cohen, even as he is postponed his february testimony and they are raising the prospect he may have to do so after he reports to prison. >> he was threatened by the president of the united states of america. let me be clear. that is unacceptable in a democracy. >> we will get the testimony. as sure as night becomes day and day becomes night. >> when he goes to jail, can you get him? >> of course we can. >> reporter: cummings would not rule out a subpoena. we asked him, are you considering issuing a subpoena? he said, we will cross that bridge when we come. they have to make decisions about bringing him before the house oversight committee and separately the house intelligence committee's chairman adam schiff making it clear he expects to hear from michael cohen as well. that would be a private, closed-door, classified hearing. they want to hear from michael cohen in a classified setting. cohen may want to delay this testimony. members of cong

. >> michael cohen was actually on the wolf blitzer show "the situation room" when i was filling in a few months before the election. there was a moment we had in an interview, and there are certain days where people get back in touch with me or i see traffic on twitter where people sort of revisit that interview. let's take a look. >> you guys are down. and it makes sense that -- >> says who? >> most of them. all of them. >> says who? >> polls. i just told you. i answered your question. >> which polls? >> all of them. >> okay. >> today was one of those days. this happens every so often, every few months or something that kind of brings it back up. in seriousness, though, when it comes to looking at michael cohen there as a defender of trump, and holy cow, i look at that and i say a year before that he was online poll tampering? it's wild, joe. >> again, a lawyer should't be an all-purpose fixer. he shouldn't be paying people, whether it's bags or cash or a check, fixing polls. it's so inappropriate. the importance of choosing people around you that are quality individuals. look at th

wolf: that is a leading question? michael: i think it is a softball. [laughter] gov. have gone around, we have hundreds of roundtables. i have led 80 personally. this is a problem that affects every corner of pennsylvania, rich and poor, republican and democrat, there are no families that does not know somebody in pennsylvania who has not been affected by this. do not cover this up, do not be ashamed. this is a medical problem. we can deal with it and do something about it. it needs people all over pennsylvania, people in any position to deal with this. dr. scott: one of the most consistent challenges we have seen over the last few years with our statewide strategic plan was the negative public attitudes component, it impacted every element of those strategies. now that we are doing a strategy refresh, we have addressing negative public attitudes as a key goal in part of overcoming those challenges. our governor similarly has activated a mental health executive order, where we have mental health talks throughout the state to really bring the community's voice forward a

we should also note here, wolf, that there are -- there has been a pattern here. it is a crime that michael cohen has pled to. it is to break campaign finance law and there had been repeated lies from trump and members of the trump world about when discussi discussions ended. there has been a pattern of misleading the public and prosecutors about this. court documents seem to row vied some clues related to this report. >> that's right. there are some clues. the court documents don't go as far as this buzz feed report. i should know. they have been ahead of everyone on parts of their story. we haven't been able to verify this. if you look at the court documents there are very important hints that pro vad at least some clues as to where the special council has gone with this cht let's look at this in which mueller says cohen described the circumstances of the pairing and circulating his response to congressional inquiries is there was an effort to make sure the story is aligned. the special council put this in the record as a finding a fact essentially. if you look at another part of this, wh

wolf. first of all, a timeline that was previously known, michael cohen, the president's former attorney, had said those discussions about trump tower moscow ended in june 2016. then you heard rudy giuliani say they probably could have gone on through october, november, and then he is quoting his client, donald trump, in this "new york times" article saying that trump told him the discussion happened from the day he launched his campaign until the day he won. so what's interesting is he is quoting donald trump and then he goes on to say, actually, it was just a hypothetical. that doesn't really square. but this timeline that rudy giuliani alluded to yesterday, saying it could happen to the campaign, also happened when donald trump was making comments and appeared cozy to russia, talking about pulling out of nato, talking about taking away sanction from russia. things that raised eyebrows during the time, so if it is true he was saying those comments at a time he was working on this trump tower moscow deal, that certainly raises questions, and additionally, what this could do is robert mueller

am in touch with now including monty python michael palin, paul mccartney, and hatchet, and many others. some are not with us now, unfortunately, like tom wolfe and david bowie and robin williams. i made a list of the best bookstores and based on my opinion and the recommendations of friends and experts in publishing a narrow down the list to about 150 bookstores ended and i collected stories from all of them and i chose the best half of those, the best top 75 and made the book. as a result i got all of these back stories that are amazing and i will share one quick story let me check if terry gross is here. she's not, so i will share it. this story is that like a lot of people i was in correspondence and became friends with them and terry gross is really sweet and i really enjoyed becoming friends with her. we spent an evening texting each other on the night of the election when trump one and i was very grateful and i sent her an e-mail and like what i would love to do with my career to sabotage it i had autocorrect to change my message. i wrote to her, i really appreciate the time she spent with me because i know how busy she is. autocorrect

wolf blitzer and you're in the situation room. >>> claiming threats against rudy giuliani. democratic committee chairman say they won't let their witness be intimidated insisting michael cohen must testify. >>> also breaking the president butts heads with pelosi and looses after president trump announced he will be in the house chamber to deliver the state of the union. he said the house will not pass the necessary resolution to authorize the speech until the government is reopened. house speaker congresswoman and intelligence committees and our correspondents are also standing by with full coverage. first let's go here up on capitol hill. michael cohen now postponing congressional testimony siting threats to his family. >>> even democrats and republicans have been in touch with cohen's attorney. we are surprised. they were not expecting this announcement to come today that this highly anticipated hearing would not take place because of michael cohen's concerns about threats to his family and the aftermath of president trump's comments about his father in law from over the weekend. it is raising issues about cohen's father in law. this is a statement that came out from mich

department of health, nicole alexander scott, governor tom wolfe from pennsylvania, and our moderator, executive director great consultant for addiction, michael botticelli. >> [ applause ] >> good morning, everybody, i am really thrilled to be here today, and thrilled to be with three people who i have known to be extraordinary leaders as we think about progress in the opioid epidemic, not only are they thought leaders, they are action leaders, at the state and local level in terms of giving us hope and optimism, that by using evidence and data, and science, that we actually can make a change. and i think we have begun to see states, and municipalities making major change and reduction to overdose deaths. i am really excited to be here today, because i do think it is really important for us to understand what is working, that there is hope, that there are over 20 million americans including me, who are actively in recovery, and that we can make a difference on a daily basis. so, i want to thank all of you for being here today, and first of all, i would like to start with governor wolf, and first of all, say congratulations on your reelection.

could hear from michael cohen during his testimony in february in front of the oversight committee. you can imagine he's going to be asked about this report and many other matters, wolf it will be pretty amazing when that day of testimony before the house oversight committee. and it raises the question of if donald trump, during the campaign, was willing to have his lawyer pay some guy a lot of money, thousands and thousands of dollars to try to rig some of these online polls, what else were they willing to do during the campaign? >> look, i think donald trump models himself and puts himself out there as the nontraditional politician, right? and i think that's the question that you're going to hear a lot from democrats. i think when the mueller investigation is over and as they launch their own investigations and their own hearings, i think you're going to hear a repeat of exactly those words, whof, what else was he willing to do. >> i suspect mueller knows a lot about what else. guys, thanks very, very much. >> come up, more on the increasingly personal battle between president trump and speaker nancy pelosi after the speaker tells the president to postpone his stat

we've learned michael cohen, the president's long-time former lawyer and fixer, has now agreed to testify publicly open session before the house oversight committee early next month. >> and, wolf, quite honestly, this will be a big, big day here in this investigation. and i think this is something that we have not seen in quite some time. we're talking perhaps watergate era. in terms of you're going to have the president's personal attorney come in and just open up on everything he knows. and the other significant thing that we just learned is that robert mueller has cleared him to testify. so, that should tell you something there, too, in a sense that perhaps mueller is now done with him. whatever information he has been providing to them about russia is now over and so mueller is at a point where he feels, you know what, michael cohen, you can go ahead and publicly tell members of congress, tell the public what you know. this is going to be be a day, certainly, that is going to not sit well with the white house. they should be worried about this day. they're going to make every effort they can to probably discredit michael cohen in the months leading up to the day he testifi

wolf. that's a very clear message that adam schiff is sending to the president, to rudy giuliani, to anyone else in the white house or allies of the president who might try to intimidate michael, you will be breaking the law if you do, and, of course, the next question is, well then could the house potentially impeach the president for that? could lawmakers pursue routes like that? and so michael cohen is going to have his day to say his piece in public to the house. it's going to be quite the spectacle coming a few days after the state of the union, now rescheduled for february 5th with another potential shutdown looming later this month. you can bet the president will be watching very closely. >> yeah. >> is it going to be public? >> no, no, it's going to be behind closed doors. >> we don't know what's going t happen with the oversight committee yet. as you know, michael cohen backed out of that because he was afraid, as you're pointing out. and don't forget, he's supposed to go to jail in early march. so we'll have to see what happens with that committee. >>> we have breaking news coming into "the situation room," very disturbing news coming in from houston, texas, right n
