mr. trump's political messaging and out of loyalty to mr. trump. and at that point it kind of feels like it's over, but it turns out he left something out, something that turns out to be important. and so the prosecution sort of jumps in to fill that in. so the judge at this point says, quote, any further allocution requested by the government? and the prosecutor from special counsel robert mueller's office, rush atkinson, he says yes, your honor. as set forth in the criminal information, which is like an indictment except you get a criminal information when you plead guilty instead of going trial, as set forth in the information, mr. cohen submitted in his statement falsely that upon reaching out to the kremlin in january 2016 about the moscow project, he had not received any response. in fact, he had received a response from the kremlin. so in essence, mr. cohen minimized his contacts with the russian government and stated so falsely in his submission. the judge says you want that as part of this allocution? mr. atkinson says yes, please. mr. coh

in mr trump's calender. we haven't heard anything else yet from the white house per se but what we do know is that trump faced a lot of criticism not just from the usual suspects of his detractors and the democrats but also from within the republican party himself itself after the summit with president putin in helsinki and there were a lot of concerns over what exactly trumps posture towards president putin meant that he was maybe a little bit too for a little bit too conciliatory and that is possibly just one of the many reasons swirling around as to why this was so abruptly canceled our correspondent in washington my us waiter on the story for us tonight my thank you. or ukraine's president petro poroshenko has called will need to intervene if russia invades but nato has rebuffed him saying it already has a strong patrolling present in the region ukraine's prime minister was in berlin today seeking support from german chancellor angela merkel but not military support . a warning for europe ukraine's prime

mr. trump supports the crown principles. are they clashing this? s part of the story, george. i would suggest the priority for president trump would be to maintain the business ties. first and foremost, i see saudi arabia as a bullwart against iran. let's say syria, lebanon, iraq and particularly yemen because of the conflict that's been going on there. number two, the president wants to maintain these business ties that he's talked about forever, but apparently the military contracts that going on the rote. his son-in-law worked for years to develop this relationship. the president doesn't want to see it disappear. if the president doesn't accept this report from the cia, they were initially suggesting that there's no way this murder of jamal khashoggi should not have taken place. can't say that with high confidence because the evidence is not there yet, but when the president was asked about it, what did he do, george? talking about the military contracts of $110 billion. he goes back each time suggesting the jobs that are tied to it. >> we also h
