i'm not a criminal lawyer lawyer but my my my assumption is that robert muller can get his tax returns now i mean they are not to be made public by robert mueller but i imagine you've got. to get most anything that he wants that's written down what's interesting is what michael cohen might potentially tell him about what hasn't been written down. there you go that's going to be the last word steven erlanger thank you so much for joining us for your.

all of these accusations all of these court cases coming directly out of the muller investigation so a real boost i think for robert muller's investigation this really legitimizes what he's doing this was a test case because it's a federal court in front of a jury of six men and six women so in terms of what's happened today between these two cases it should be a very worrying time the president on trial but only dramatic events indeed thanks very much indeed hanukkah reporting. now global software giant microsoft says it's foiled a plot by russian hackers to launch cyber attacks on the u.s. senate and other political institutions the firm says it stopped fake web sites that was set up to steal log in information from visitors to think tanks the hudson institute and the international republican institute had their web sites copied microsoft says it's part of a russian plot to influence november midterm elections moscow denies any involvement she had returns in washington has more. microsoft says russian hackers set up several domain names which were removed last week by microsoft pre

well the issue on whether or not he should talk to muller is what the smaller exactly want to ask and what is the special counsel's office want to ask him if the special counsel were only going to ask him about the election and about election issues that is one then perhaps he should sit down i've said he should sit down but under the present circumstances somebody like me who's publicly said well i think i think he should sit down with muller to try to close this down i don't think he can now because there was a report released which showed the questions it was in the new york times the questions that muller muller special counsel office wanted to ask the president and the vast majority of them involved in obstruction of justice charge and they want to everything they were flip fourteen questions release they could have this little mix up and nine of them essentially involve james komi and michael flynn which ultimately involves james komi and if they're going to use. me as his star witness on an obstruction of justice charge then i don't think the president will end up sitting down

investigation robert muller turned over information to prosecutors and investigators here in new york that's what led to this charge these charges have a listen to what the prosecutor had to say after the proceedings. mr cohen guilty to two campaign finance charges one for pausing and on lawful corporate contributions. and a second one for personally making an excessive bushnell contribution both for the purpose of influencing the two thousand and sixteen election in addition what he did was he worked to pay money to silence two women who had information that he believed would be detrimental to the two thousand and sixteen campaign and to the candidate and the campaign. now the president's a charity rudy giuliani has issued a statement in response to this admission of guilt by michael cohen i want to read it to you because it's a very carefully worded he said there is no allegation of any wrongdoing against the president in the government's charges against mr cohen it is clear that as the prosecutor noted mr cohen's actions reflect a pattern of lies and dishonesty over a significant p

no robert muller has run a very disciplined tight ship nobody has linked nobody has spoken out of line and so all we're really getting as the public is those relatively few things that are done in public in court like yesterday's proceedings and some other leaks that we're getting from our end from the trouble and from rudy giuliani who's exceptionally unreliable so i don't think we can quite yet put it in historical context against watergate but at some point we will. all right. federal prosecutor from new jersey in new york joining us tonight from new york we certainly appreciate your time your insights valuable information trying to understand what is going on right now in washington thank you. with us mid-term elections coming in tech companies are on high alert facebook and twitter have shut down hundreds of misleading accounts linked to russia and iran u.s. politicians are also raising concerns over separate revelations of alleged russian hacky social media giants acting this time before it's too late. to prevent the propaganda from influencing the upcoming us midterm election fa

trump is in big trouble cohen's name came across the desk of special counsel robert muller during his investigation into alleged collusion between the trump campaign and russia he referred what he found to prosecutors in new york and in april they instructed the f.b.i. to raid cohen's home and office in new york they seized boxes of documents including communications between donald trump and his attorney as well as devices and a dozen audio recordings including one discussing payment to a playboy model karen mcdougal who also claims she had an affair with trump a decade ago and it's not clear from the tape of trump suggested paying in cash or by check the president's current legal advisers rudy giuliani has gone from describing cohen as an honest honorable man to slamming him michael cohen also reportedly claims that donald trump knew in advance of a trump tower meeting arranged by his son john jr with a russian operative it all suggests that the man who once claimed he would take a bullet for the president is now willing to cooperate with prosecutors against him . so what all the imp

while a lot at stake clearly for paul manifold but this is widely being seen as a test of robert muller's investigation into russian collusion the charges here have nothing to do with collusion but they did spring out of that investigation so i think it is found guilty will in some ways legitimize what robert mueller is doing of course if he is cleared of the charges here i think donald trump will really make mincemeat out of this trial saying look there is no collusion and he will repeat that claim is going to all this is simply a witch hunt so there is a lot hanging on this trial for paul manifold and of course for the entire country ok and a gallagher life rests in alexandria virginia thank you andy so there are reports that donald trump's former lawyer michael cohen has entered a guilty plea with federal prosecutors in new york the details of the plea are still being negotiated course he is under investigation for bank fraud tax fraud and campaign finance violations this all happening right now we're trying to gather more information on that and we will bring that to you soon as we ca

why is this such a big deal well if the story had panned out it would have meant that finally bob muller had some significant evidence it's been over a year and a half since the special counsel has been sent out to investigate issues related to trump and russia collusion so far he has uncovered some foul play from some former trump associates but nothing related to russia it looks like michael cohen's lawyer had everyone convinced that finally there would be some real evidence surfacing but alas it looks like we got faked out again still no evidence back to square one but it looks like the investigation has no sign of stopping. r.t. new york. a us presidential candidate an award winning war correspondent one of transformer advises the u.k. opposition leader and a rock star well they may appear not to have much in common but according to one bloke they are all supporters of so called assad as them have explaining. labeling people as in fashion has been for the past couple of years in fact populist mainstream deplorable or when it comes to syria and a scientist like a sadist to but who als
