mike flynn, paul manafort, omarosa. michael cohen.ple the president surrounded himself with and if he'd never done that, he would not have had these problems. if they had never gotten involved in the president, they wouldn't have these problems but the white house has a very tough time defending themselves against the idea that it was the president's own choice to bring in michael cohen. >> who was the president's own choice. and the american people get this. a monmouth university poll. the president does or does not hire the best people? does, 30%, does not, 58%. almost 6 in 10 americans say the president of the united states, essentially, has bad judgment. doesn't hire the best people. that's pretty damning. >> it's a pattern because it comes from the top and you'll be seeing that for some time, obviously. we values to remember when he surrounds himself with the staff matters because, also, it sets policy as well. so there are real world implications for the kinds of people that he surrounds himself with. >> real world implications,

mike: great! if this was the cleanup guy and michael cohen pleads guilty does it mean candidate trump did anything illegal, sir? >> i do not think so. and it is mainly because the campaign finance laws work differently depending on what your status is good for example, as a candidate, president trump did not have any dollar limit on what he was able to spend on the campaign. they are very technical laws the campaign finance laws and the president is not a lawyer. michael cohen is a lawyer. it can be very difficult for prosecutors to establish criminal state of mind for the president. mike: how big is the burden of proof for government prosecutors? >> well, this particular statute, all of the criminal provisions of the campaign finance laws require the government to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant acted willfully. willfulness is the highest mental standard of proof in the criminal law. it really almost defies the old adage that it is no excuse. i think it would be very difficult when you're dealing with somebody again, who is not a lawyer, who did not need to be thinking about do

i like mike -- an apparent reference to michael jordan. but jordan is siding with the current king of the nba saying in a statement, quote, i support l.j. he's doing an amazing job for his community. first lady melania trump's communications director also taking a different position, supporting james, saying, quote, her platform centers around visiting organizations, hospitals and schools, and she would be open to visiting the i promise school in akron. but in ohio the president leaving behind the james feud. instead praising another one of the state's luminaries, republican congressman jim jordan, who has been embroiled in a scandal over whether he ignored sexual abuse when he was a wrestling coach at ohio state university. jordan denies the allegation. >> what a great defender he's been. what courage. i'll tell you what, there is a brave, tough cookie. i don't want to wrestle him, he's tough. >> reporter: that ohio crowd seemed to be standing by jordan, giving him a hero's welcome, even chanting "speaker of the house." he's seen as a top
