mr. davidson had no business communicating with mr. cohen in this regard, and he certainly didn't have any business communicating with mr. cohen in late february or early march when we allege he tipped off mr. cohen about my new involvement representing ms. daniels and about the fact we were getting ready to file a lawsuit. >> but clearly cohen is trying to pressure daniels -- stormy daniels to get her to deny the affair but stormy had already signed a nondisclosure agreement so why wouldn't cohen push for that? why is there wrongdoing? >> no, don, there's clear wrongdoing. first of all, michael cohen has previously claimed that he thought my client at all times was a liar and he just paid her $130,000 to go away. how do you square that explanation with him then attempting to get her to go on the shawn hannity show on the 17th of january? and if you look at the text messages it's clear michael cohen is begging to put her on shawn hannity. %-p between mr. davidson and mr. cohen. and then, of course, the last message is one you reference

mr. davidson when we're done. [please stand by] >> so i mr. davidson, you can wait until after public comment, and then, he can speak to you. next speaker, please. >> chairman of the board, supervisors, good afternoon. my name is sophie lau. i'm on behalf of three notice. 1941, 1943, and 1945 ocean is all the same building. on one record, it shows as all residential, but on one citation, i get record for vacant, abandoned storefront, so i don't know which is correct. i was there yesterday trying to renew some of the permit, and they said well, we cannot do it because the record shows as a residential. either way, the department is making mistakes. it's not residential, it's commercial. they cited 1941, 1943, it's a vacant abandoned storefront which is totally incorrect. i currently have permits. they're under remodelling due to a fire incident from the 1943, which has also effected the next door of 1941. regarding to the 1945 ocean avenue, we actually had a lease, was executed a year ago. and the tenant is not doing so well, so they apparently

mr. davidson, outright refuses to give us the text messages and the other information after march 2nd. >> so just to be clear. the reason you have the text messages that we can read tonight is because davidson has handed over to you the stormy daniels file up to a certain point in time, which does include these text messages? he gave you these text messages? >> lawrence, he gave us those text messages after months of demanding them and after serious threats by us if he didn't give them to us there was going to be serious consequences. he was supposed to give us everything. he only gave us the text messages up until march 2nd, refuses to give us an explanation as to why that is. we know for a fact there were aadditional text messages after march 2nd. he refuses to provide them without explanation. the reason is clear, if you think these text messages are bad, those text messages are ugly. we're going to eventually get them, and when we get them, it's our intention to publicize them so people can see what happened here. >> keith davidson put out a statement saying he believes he outsmarted

mr. davidson has received that. i can give it to you, but it comes from an individual who indicates that she is in a skilled nursing facility and unable to address this issue at this time so i can -- >> let me take a look at it, supervisor. >> supervisor breed: i thank you for that particular matter, mr. davidson, is it possible that we could continue that particular item as we go through the rest of the items that you will make changes to. >> 633 dartmouth? >> supervisor breed: uh-huh. >> we can take it off the list if the board approves. >> supervisor breed: do you want to give us an update? >> yes. >> supervisor breed: we'll add it to the list now and remove there and that will be a part of our amendment for the record. okay? >> correct. following properties have been removed, 49 oliver street. 718 16th avenue. >> supervisor breed: can you call the numbers on the document we have so that we can follow your lead? >> we have 49 oliver, which is number -- >> supervisor breed: i'm sorry. i thought you were using the

mr. davidson.'s right. >> still ahead, the president wields his favorite unchecked power today, the pardon. and yet could it be like so many things with this president, it has less to do with helping people and everything to do with bob mueller? the first survivor of alzheimer's disease is out there. and the alzheimer's association is going to make it happen. but we won't get there without you. visit alz.org to join the fight. with a $500,00nsurance policy. how much do you think it cost him? $100 a month? $75? $50? actually,duncan got his $500,000 for under $28 a month. less than a dollar a day. his secret? selectquote. in just minutes, a selectquote agent will comparison shop nearly a dozen hrated life insurance companies, and give you a choice of your five best rates. duncans wife cassie got a $750,000 policy for under $22 a month. give your family the security it needs at a price you can afford. stay at la quinta. where we're changing with stylish make-overs. then at your next meeting, set your

mr. davidson in an attempt to manipulate miss clifford in a manner to benefit mr. cohen and mr. trump.message is that it appears the two men tried to get her a spot on sean hannity's program on fox news so she could go on and deny the details of the affair. it appears that didn't happen. you see between the back and forth of the text messages cohen at some points getting very frustrated at davidson for not being able to make this happen. the bigger picture and the significance of this is that michael avenatti, the current lawyer for stormy daniels, his strategy has been very clear. he has wanted to argue with the public that trump and the people close to trump, namely michael cohen, about that he have not been honest with the public and they want to show that there was something nefarious going on, that if a lawyer -- when you hire a lawyer, they are supposed to represent your interests and your interests only. why would keith davidson who is supposed to be representing stormy daniels be secretly speaking with michael cohen to try to prevent this story from coming out? >> stay with me,

mr. davidson who is supposed to represent a client and got him somehow, some way, to do the opposite. that is the ultimate disloyalty, the kind thing that turns from you being a lawyer to being a defendant. >> to underscore for all of our viewers what the underlying problem would be here is that your lawyer is supposed to represent you. and the way the entire system is set up is for theiroyalty to be with you. >> the put it simply, the allegation here, if michael cohen were basically working with mr. davidson, and davidson was a dentist, the allegatio would be that they got him to give stormy daniels extra cavities instead of dental care, the last thing you want a lawyer to do is conspiracy this way. that's why these texts are kind of incredible. >> kelly, have reheard a response from the white house yet? >> no, we know tvs are on in the west wing and people are aware of this. this is the kind of area where they always refer us to the president'sious peonal lawyers. and tom referenced those sorts of people have not yet responded. that's pretty boilerplate from the white house when a d

mr. davidson in davidson. it includes text messages.ohen reaches out to davidson in an attempt to get daniels to appear on fox news to deny the affair. the texts start january 17th. the same day in touch magazine published excerpts of an interview in which stormy daniels described a sexual encounter with trump. cohen says, i have her tentatively scheduled for hannity tonight, so which davidson replies she cannot do it, she's flying to l.a. tomorrow. cohen says, this is no good. we need her. by doing tomorrow, you create another news cycle instead of putting an end to this one. the lawsuit calls those messages a desperate attempt to convince ms. clifford to lie tohe american public about her relationship with mr. trump. >> did you know about the $130,000 payment to stormy daniels? why did michael cohen make that if there was no -- >> you'll have to ask michael cohen. >> do you know where he got the money to make that payment? >> i don't know. >> and it claims president trump knew about the conversation between davidson and cohen because

mr. davidson and mr. cohen. we're going to get to the bottom of it. >> one final question.identified the man in the sketch that you say threatened stormy daniels? that tip line, as you know, has been open for some time. >> it has been. we run a lot of leads to ground. i think we're getting very close. we believe that we may have someone that, in fact, may be the individual that threatened her but we're not ready to announce it quite yet. >> when did you you'll have it? >> well, we don't know. we're going to be careful because, as you know, i mean, we don't want to be wrong about this. we don't want to out someone who is innocent. because of the ramifications of that on that person's life. we're going to be really, really careful before we make an announcement. >> thank you for joining us. >> thank you. >>> just ahead, the birth of a conspiracy theory. what lead president trump to claim the fbi planted a spy in his campaign. >>> following breaking news on the growing list of republican lawmakers who aren't buying president trump's claim about an fbi spy infiltrating his camp

we reported on davidson's past cases including the hulk hogan case. >> allegations that mr. cohen worked with this other lawyer you're referring to mr. davidson in a manner that might be adverse to his client interest in order to help donald trump. you say you believe there's smoking gun tape evidence of that? >> absolutely. >> that was, we now know, a preview of what's happening. hogan testified in a trial in 2016 that led to the demise of a website called gawker. there was a personality bubba the love sponge and there's a question about the tapes and what happened to them. >> when the video was released, my whole world changed. it's been this over riding haunting of this sex tape that gawker put out there. through this crazy sex tape being released by gawker that i didn't know about. i haven't been able to get back up and be who i was before. >> davidson then became the subject of two different investigations for releasing that tape that hogan was just talking about. a federal one and a local one that was accusations of extortion. attorneys decline to prosecute or file cha

mr. davidson and then senator boxer, it's just incredible.ne call that you made, that your staff made just breaks your heart. in sandusky, ohio there was one of the biggest raids ever where children were separated from parents. it's the most mean-spirited, awful thing i've ever seen from my government, and we should all be ashamed and we should all fight back. i talked to somebody from bread for the world, a religious-based food advocacy group and the work they're doing to fight back in sandusky and all over the country is so, so important to tell these stories, and you contributed a lot to that tonight to that. >> senator sherrod brown of ohio. good to see you. >> good to be back. >> before i go i want to make sure everyone checks out the new episode of our podcast "why is this happening" with special guest amy chua. he with talk about the idea of tribalism within politics. "the rachel maddow show" starts right now. good evening, rachel. >> good evening, chris. thanks for my help. hi, senator brown. can we do a little crossover? >> i don't k

mr. davidson: mr. speaker, i want to thank my colleagues for working together on this bipartisan legislation, h.r. 4311, the foreign investment risk review modernization act. it addresses the intersection of national security, intellectual property, and property rights. we have a responsibility to protect the people of the united states of america from threatsd. and we al ha a responsibility to protect the system that has truly made the ited stes the world's land of opportunity. we've had free flow of goods, services, capital, ideas, and indeed people because we have a functions -- high functioning rule of law here in america. how can the entrepreneur living the american dream truly thrive in the spirit of enterprise when competing against a foreign state but that's the very state he's up again in trade as an entrepreneur seek to do this? this bill addresses these concerns. countries acting as companies that pose threats to our national security. this legislation has been done in a bipartisan, construc

mr. davidson: mr. speaker, i would like to thank chairwoman brooks and call attention to some good news. good news is out there. and sometimes hard to find in the news, but tax cuts and jobs act is all about good news. what is astonishing, the tax cuts and jobs act is having an impact before it became law. the cuts that were to come were causing our economy to grow at nearly double the rate as it was under the previous administration. and now we have seen deeds, not just words but actions transform the idea of tax cuts enacted into tax cuts, things that ransform the 1 1/2% growth and take-home pay was stagnating and no hope for the growth that our parents once knew. today we are seeing 3% growth and we may see even more 4% growth. the experts said this wasn't going to happen. and instead what we have seen is the power of ideas, the power of those ideas becoming law and now we're seeing that in our economy. what does that mean for families in ohio? hardworking families are getting more take-home pay and

mr. davidson. >> you are absolutely right. after mr. davidson no longer represented my client he should not have been having any communications with michael cohen about my client and yet we know that he has and we have been demanding these text messages for months repeatedly, four, five, six times and they refuse to provide the text messages because they know they are very, very damaging. we are going to get our hands on them sooner rather than later. >> jill, what's fascinating here is the way in which the stormy daniels case has kind of dove-tailed or run into the robert mueller case. how is that -- i mean, how does this case ultimately reflect on the bigger russia-gate case? >> i think it's all part of the kind of people that donald trump surrounds himself with. you have cohen at the center of this who is his lawyer and not an ethical great lawyer, who is the one who supposedly wrote these ndas which all included things about paternity. well, michael avenatti has denied that there is any paternity issue involved in stormy daniels. why

mr. davidson concerning my client and others. think that the documents that were reconstructed from the shredder and these encrypted text messages could prove to be the most important documents in the entire case. that would not surprise me. >> let me turn to michael cohen and his attorneys filing this restraining order against you. what's your reaction to this? >> you know, it's pretty transparent. it's baseless. they can't beat us on the truth, the facts and the evidence. so they're trying to shut me up. they're trying to get a federal judge to basically infringe on my first amendment right and prevent me from cooperating with the press and providing information and documents to the american people. it's a hail mary. i was pleased to see that the judge literally within business hours shot down that request on an emergency basis and ultimately i think it's going to be denied in total. >> are you still confident that you will prevail in court when all is said and done considering the judge's previous comments about your, quote, p

mr. davidson, fighting over the context of the legal relationship, how this all played out in the fall of 2016. and that fight could continue for weeks, if not months. but the more important context is what does this mean for the southern district of new york? the u.s. district attorney's office as they move forward with that investigation? and when you look at what's going on with the mueller probe, any information about what happened during this payment and all the discussions, all the e-mails, the phone calls between ms. daniels and her lawyer, between mr. cohen and ms. daniels, her whole camp, all this is likely to come out and it could have political implications for the trump administration. >> danny, i want to read you two quotes. this is rudy giuliani at this financial panel today in israel on the subject of stormy daniels. quote, "i'm sorry, i don't respect a porn star the way i respect a career woman or a woman of substance or a woman who isn't going to sell her body for sexual exploitation. on the subject of melania and stormy daniels, she believes in her husband. this is the f

mr. davidson: frankly, i find it appalling that attorney general sessions would ignore these activities in the department of justice. the reality is, this is a question of shall the executive branch comply with a legislative from the -- from the legislative branch. the content well, don't know what the contents are, they've been redacted, they're being withheld. this has gone on for a long time. if we are to keep our republic, the principle has to be resolved where the legislative branch being co-equal shall have act stose this information. not just a pri ledged few, not a few that keep it withheld from the rest of the body, but the whole body. since last year, the perm nevent select committee on intelligence has investigated potential abuses of the fisa system, the foreign intelligence surveyance act by the department of justice. and our intelligence community. previously, our colleague, mr. schiff, was a strong supporter for fisa reform and proposed numerous bills. that's where our colleagues on the other side of the aisle are not consistent. fisa has been abused. we've seen one of the m

mr. speaker, you repeatedly pointed to harley-davidson when you were selling the tax bill and need for tax reform. now because of the president's trade policy they're moving jobs overseas. your reaction to that. congress has constitutional authority to set trade policy. is congress going to do anything to reverse that policy? speaker ryan: i'll say it again. i don't think tariffs are the right way to go. i think they're basically taxes. what ends up happening you get escalating tariffs or escalating taxes. one of the reasons we did tax reform is to make it easier for businesses to keep manufacturing in america and not going overseas. like taxes, like tariffs, some penetrate markets. that's why we want to lower those barriers. there are unfair trading practices, no two ways about it, by other countries. i think it's in our interest to use other tools to go after those unfair trading practices to stop companies or countries from dumping, from cheating, from stealing, from doing i.p.r. theft and the rest. somethingon and also that you talk about in the past. toi haven't had a chance look at t
