i think there is a conventional wisdom and was mr that michael gove might be in the running for a futurehip battle. when sajid javid was appointed home secretary some people thought it could be the future of the party. interesting to see. in the brexit capunay he surprised the prime minister by not coming out in support of her favourite customs union option. he took the side of the brexiteers. also thejob of the balance of that cabinet. here he is carrying more than independent way. and kind of putting his tanks on the lawn. not that he had been home secretary for so long but home office policy has intel recently been driven by this. last week about the winter is, it sounds like a year ago now. a hostile environment which was the key phrase theresa may used la st was the key phrase theresa may used last week. very non—british to call it that. these are big stats. staying with this thing, the front of the telegraph. michael gove launching an attack. a letter that has been leak which he sent his fellow cabinet ministers last week. it all centres on, ostensibly on the chancellor being accus

and that is a serious, serious problem for michael cohen and mr. trump. and that problem is not going to be alleviated, lawrence, by some filing by michael cohen's lawyers whining about the fact we're speaking the truth. >> you tweeted something about michael cohen's attorney tonight, about an hour before coming on the program. you said, why is mr. cohen's attorney, mr. ryan, representing mr. cohen at the same time that he is working for qatar? especially in light of the qatar bribery allegations revealed earlier this week? are they paying michael cohen's legal bills? no wonder he's trying to keep me out of the case. could you expand on that? >> well, lawrence, i don't know how many times i've said it over the last eight weeks. you can't make this stuff up. we now discovered that mr. steven ryan, the lead criminal defense lawyer for michael cohen in the southern district of new york, he also serves as a lobbyist at his law firm, mcdermott, will, and emory. and in 2017, he was individually retained to provide services to the government of qatar. and, of cou

mr. michael cohen to a third party constituted a loan to president trump that should have been reported as a liability on his public financial disclosure report. and if so, whether the failure to report it was knowing and willful. the white house has long denied president trump knew about any payment. why did it take so long for the truth to come out? let's look at the many different versions of the story. back in february cohen claimed he paid out the money out of his own pocket and was not reimbursed by the trump organization or the campaign. now that's a lie. then on march 7th, white house press secretary sarah huckabee sanders told reporters there was no knowledge from any payment by the president and he denies the allegations. on april 5th the president told reporters he knew nothing about the payment and referred all further questions to michael cohen. during his media blitz earlier this month, rudy giuliani contradicted the president telling fox news trump did know about the payment and reimbursed cohen. that led to the president tweeting a lengthy explanation. after weeks and weeks

michael cohen just a few months later last summer? well, that's where we get to the juicy part. according to these documents released by mr. avenatti tonight, the same company that michael cohen used to pay stormy daniels, essential consultants llc, they took in a lot of money from a lot of surprising places. they got paid $150,000 by korea aerospace industries last november. november 2017. okay. essential consultants reportedly got paid $200,000 in four installments, four separate payments of 50 grand each in late 2017 and early 2018. that $200,000 in four separate payments came from a little company you might have heard of -- at&t. essential consultants got paid $400,000 by novartis, the global pharmaceutical company. according to the documents, the way they paid -- this is interesting -- was four separate payments to essential consultants, to this little company michael cohen set up, which paid off the porn star, which paid $20 less than $100,000. they paid $99,980 on october 5, again on november 3, december 1 and again on january 5, 2018 this year. so, four payments, each for just under $100,000. almost as if there was

mr. sarbanes: i haven't heard the president express concerns. > was michael cohen qualified? mr. sarbanes: that is something we know - sand san that michael cohen millions of dollars and peddling the dollars to america's largest corporation. is the president ashamed of that? >> it would be up to those individuals to hire someone, the same way that the contest that you work for to determine whether or not that you are decision to serve in a and has nothing to do with the white house. appreciate it. do you know whether mr. cohen approached the white house of any of those companies ap the president was aware of those payments and whether he was aware that cohen was marketing himself? > i would refer you to outside couple. >> michael cohen and his ersonal attorney was selling assets. >> i haven't spoken with the president. >> you are the press secretary, based on what you know, what has been revealed, does the president think it was appropriate that the personal attorney was selling assets? >> and i would refer to you to the outside coal that has to deal with michael cohen or others.

mr. michael lambert. >> good morning. thank you, chair cohen, supervisors. i'm joined by our acting chief operating officer, marine singleton this morning, and other members of our executive leadership team. we appreciate this opportunity to present the library's fyi 19-20 budget. current fiscal year has been a banner year for the organization. we have realized the vision of every library every day. all 28 library locations are now open seven days a week. library utilization remains robust. more and more our residents are visiting to take more part in all the vibrant programming we're offering. we had over.5 million patrons take part in library programs this past year alone. this coming summer, the libraries summer program, summer stride kicks off, and we have partnered with the national park service with free shuttles from our neighborhood branchs taking our residents to national parks, including alcatraz and muir woods. we had over 26,000 participants last summer, and we're confident we will exceed that number this year. we've also just concluded our secon

mr. michael cohen, $130,000 being paid by the coffers of mr. cohen, how does it all relate?ems to me to relate to russia with the hanky pank and coveri covering up for it. >> january 6, 2017, the intelligence committee releases its report saying russia attacked our election in part to help get trump get elected. that's the environment this time. trump is denying that this ever happened, and here's his fixer taking $500,000 or starting to from one of the chief oligarchs over there. >> they're not denying this, by the way. >> of course, they're not denying it and that's very interesting. because we reported jones back in 2016 he had steel and ross with cyprus involved in shady russian money. and at the same time this cousin of his who's an american citizen he's giving $250,000 to trump's inaugural committee. now, is that money coming from victor vexilberg as well? there's so much more here and others to investigate. and shows the house intelligence committee republicans, they shut their door long before this movie was done. >> michael, what's going on here? >> well, this highl

mr. trump did reimburse him. they perfectly crafted that statement. michael cohen did. suggest he was the one that pays the monies, and that neither mr. trump nor any of his affiliated organizations reimbursed him. that's what he wanted the reader to believe of that statement and now we find out that that, in fact, was absolutely false. >> michael, do you believe that this might also help explain why your good friend and the president's new attorney rudy giuliani was on television just a few weeks ago and made that sort of, dropped that bombshell that caught a lot of folks by might this help explain that? might giuliani have known that this was going to come out and there would be no way they could hide it any longer? >> well, that may help explain it. i think he also knew that we had evidence and there was other evidence that had been seized in connection with the raids that were going to render the prior representations absolutely false. i'm sure that he knew that. but also, let's not lose track of the following -- even after mr. giuliani came forward and made those s

michael avenatti on tv. there he is. why would i make sure to watch this guy tonight? it's because of this document that he has just released. mr. avenatti put this out this afternoon, posted it online. it was this stand alone set of sort of jaw dropping allegations about financial transactions involving the president's lawyer, michael cohen. mr. avenatti did not release any supporting documentation or information to go along with this thing that he posted online. initially i'm not sure anybody in the news business knew what to make of sort of wild and surprising allegations he is making here. it's hard to know what to do with it without any backup. but now over the course of the last couple of hours, both "the new york times" and nbc news have reported that they, too, have obtained and reviewed original financial documents that substantiate what michael avenatti is saying. so now we have some actual news here. it's about the company that michael cohen used, the president's lawyer used to pay off stormy daniels. right before the election so she would not speak about her alleged affair with the president. we learned a few months

mr. michael cohen for that payment. and this is what she told us this morning. >> kellyanne, when did you first learn that the president had reimbursed michael cohen for that payment made to stormy daniels? >> i have no comment on that. >> reporter: did you know about it before sarah? >> i have never heard about that during the campaign. i was the campaign manager, a lot crossed my desk. >> reporter: did you know about it last year in the white house? >> i did not. >> did the president mislead the american people intentionally? >> the president sent out three tweets on the matter. >> reporter: can we count on the president to be honest? >> the president is very honest. he promised to cut taxes and he did. he promised to get north and south korea to sit down and change the course of history and they are. he's got his delegation over in china working on more fair, more reciprocal trade deals to stop screwing american workers, american interests and american businesses. we have a half a billion trade deficit with them that

mr. davidson or for some other reason. michael avenatti closed his comments to the judge by reflecting on the revelation by michael cohen's lawyer, in court today, that the michael cohen recordings are under lock and key. mr. avenatti told the judge, your honor, i will note that now my concerns have been confirmed. mr. ryan states there are recordings relating to my client, they are under lock and key. he stated that on the record. so that's now been confirmed. so that raises considerable concerns. i will digest those concerns we will move appropriately. but if there are recordings of my client's former counsel disclosing attorney/client privileged information that is significant concern to me and my client and we will address that with the government and attempt to arrive at a resolution, your honor. after today's court session, michael avenatti filed a motion withdrawing his request to participate in the evidentiary proceeding in judge wood's courtroom which judge wood said today, quote, is a potential precurser to a criminal tr

mr. michael avenatti. thank you for joining us.kesperson for romahi said they did meet and the president -- his team and officials meeting with him and they said this is simply qatari trying to gather information about the incoming administration and michael cohen popped in, what would be wrong with that? >> well, jake, i think that that is completely bogus. first of all, if you look at the video that we made a reference to, you see michael cohen walk into the lobby of trump tower, with the qatari nationals, get on the elevator with them, i just do not believe that he just, quote, popped in, whatever that means. i think that is a very unusual choice of a term or word i should say in an official statement. what is michael cohen doing in this meeting or popping in even if that were true or escorting these individuals through the lobby. it doesn't make any sense. he doesn't have a role in the transition. he doesn't have a role in the administration. he's not a registered lobbyist. he's not a registered foreign agent. he has no busines

the man was handed over by this man, michael cohen, the president's mr. fix-it, who said he paid her the cash out of a personal account and was n reimbursed by the president. donald trump has always denied the affair and has maintained he knew nothing of the payment. w asked about it on air force one four weeks ago. >> did you know about the $130,000 payment? president ump: no. >> why did michael cohen make it? president trump: you'll have to ask michael cohen. michael is my attorney, and you will have ask michael cohen. jon: now that story has been flatly contradicted by former new york mayor rudy giuliani, who joined the trump legal team two eks ago, and said the president has paid cohen the money. mr. giuliani: he was definitely reimbursed, no doubt about it. >> why did he say he wasn't? mr. giuliani: maybe, maybe -- first of all, if we had to defend this is not being a e couldn contribution, do that. this was for personal reasons. jon: last night in a separate fox interview, he talked about how much the president knew ofn. what was going mr. giuliani:

michael. >> huh? that's the arrangement? is that a normal arrangement? what is a retainer, really? according to the president's lawyer, mr. hael cohen was doing no legal work for the president, but that's how the president secretly paid people. he would funnel it through the law firm. this wasn't a deposition. this wasn't like giuliani getting pinned to the wall and accidentally skwaeking. he's just putting that out there. his explanation of how this works in the president's life is that payments of all kinds, at one point, he calls them harassment payments. other people call them hush payments. who knows what kind of payments we're talking about here. payments in the president's life in mr. giuliani's words, are funneled through michael cohen, in a way that's designed to make those payments look like legal expenses. even though they are not legal expenses because michael cohen doesn't actually do any legal work for him. if that's really their system, we can probably safely assume that federal prosecutors now have documentation of that system, given all the stuff they have seized in their investigation of michael cohen. is

we wanted to take a closer look at how much contact michael cohen has had with donald trump since trump became president. >> mrpit bull, i am his right hand man. >> reporter: but if you ask the white house what michael cohen is, they are already down-playing his role as just another lawyer. >> i am not aware of specific places where he is representing the president. >> reporter: the white house is trying to put distance between mr. cohen and the president. michael cohen had dinner with president trump at mar-a-lago. weeks before that, on march fourth, cohen was also at mar-a-lago for an event. cohen is not a member of mar-a-lago and would have needed aan invite. posted saying he was happy to see cohen at #mar-a-lago. called michael cohen to quote check in before cohen appeared in court regarding his office raid. again, the white house down-playing his relationship. >> the president has many attorneys. >> reporter: michael cohen's own lawyer painted a picture of more than a relationship. before trump became president, nearly constant contact between the two men. >> michael cohen got calls at 3:00 in the morning

mr. trump's then lawyer, michael cohen, days before the 2016 election. he said cohen was reimbursed by the president himself. take a listen. >> that moneyas not campaign money. sorry. i'm giving you a fact now you that don't know. it's not campaign money. no campaign finance violation. >> they funneled it through a law firm. >> funneled it through a law firm. and then the president repaid it. >> at one point the fox news anchor even tried to interject into giuliani's revelation as giuliani claimed payments mr. trump made to cohen for his services each month were in fact reimbursements for that $130 thousands hush agreement. >> when i maerd cohen's retainer of 35,000 when he was doing no work for the president, i said that's how he's repaying -- that's how he's repaying it, with a little profit and a little margin for pag taxes for michael. >> but do you know the president didn't know about this? i bleeb that's what michael had said. >> he didn't know about the specifics of it as far as i know. but he did know about the general arrangement that michael wo
