mollie: the "new yorker" article was sloppy. there are problems you can have with fox news and bill shine. i have a hard time the president would have wanted to see a departure based on that article. howie: the president has gone through five communications directors. the president who spends so much time talking to journalists every day and executing his own communications strategy on twitter really need a communications director? gillian: i would say he needs a communications director more than ever before. though that person is not coordinating the president, the job of a communications director coordinates everyone else on the staff. every president needs a communications director. we could argue about whether president trump needs a spokesperson. howie: we'll talk to bret baier about the dnc decision to bar fox news from the dnc debates. mo: when i was at the dnc i don't think i spoke to fox once or put a surrogate on the air. i think that was a mistake i made. i came here not because i love this company even though this com

now this new yorker article seems to imply the president went as far as to direct two of his top aide, gary cohen, the nshl economic adviser, an his chief of staff, john kelly, to influence the justice department to move forward with a lawsuit that would block the merger. here's what the no"the new york says. trump calls cohen into the oval office along with john kelly and said in exasperation to kelly, i've been telling cohen to get this lawsuit filed and nothing has happened. i've mentioned it 50 times and nothing's happened. i want to deal blocked. now "the new yorker" goes on to say that coh nn told kelly afte the meeting, this is not how we do business, do not call the justice department and the justice department said we do not believe they were influenced in in way by political considerations to file this lawsuit, which was unsuccessful, but that hasn't stopped the president's critics and particularly, house democrats ch the chairman, adam schiff, from tweeting this this afternoon. the president's dislike of cnn he implies was long feared would be instruments of state power use

haven't gotten a response to the white house in response to what is being reported in "the new yorker." this is what the president said to gary cohn at the time about this proposed at&t merger with time warner. it says trump called cohn into the oval office along with kelly and said in expiration to kelly, i've been telling cohn to get this lawsuit filed. i've mentioned it 50 times and nothing has happened. i want to make sure it's filed. i want that deal blocked. we don't have to remind everybody the president's an mouse towards cnn. that's been on display for the last several years now, but the fact it might rise to the level intervening between two giant corporations. i really illustrates the extent in which the president may have wanted to go to cause a lot of discomfort. you heard manu talking about these congressional investigations. this is potentially an area that congress may want to look at and the house intelligence committee chairman adam schiff noted as much in a tweet that he posted earlier today. to carry out his vendetta against the press. he is attack td taz enemy of

. >> that's right, brianna, this report from the new yorker is raising new questions about president trump's potential involvement in the decision made by the justice department to try to stop that at&t merger from going forward. president trump's opposition to that deal was well known, but this report goes one step further, claiming that president trump instructed his then-top economic adviser john cohn and chief of staff john kelly to try to stop that deal from moving forward, which the doj ultimately did, but justice department officials have consistently denied that any political considerations, any pressure from the white house played a role in that decision. here's what the new yorker reported. trump called cohn into the oval ofls alo office along with john kelly who had just become the chief of staff and said in ex aspiration to kelly, i've been telling cohn to get this lawsuit filed and nothing's happened. i've mentioned it fifty times and nothing has happened. i want to make sure it's filed. i want that deal blocked. george conway, the husband of top aide kellyanne conway, t

media attention on this connection between fox news and the president, the height of which was the "new yorker" magazine piece that really outlined in very, very graphic details how fox news has covered and really become just totally donald trump's television. >> good evening, reverend and thanks for having me. there's a lot of things i would like to unpack, first you started with the manafort sentencing and the president's stating exactly what the judge said. it was a reminder to everyone that this had nothing to do with the russia collusion hoax, and i think it's very important -- >> no it had nothing -- the sentencing on that case had nothing to do with it. the president said that the judge said -- >> nor the charges. >> wait a minute, i'll let you talk then you let me talk. he said that the sentencing had nothing to do -- he did not say there was no russian collusion. >> the judge did specifically state that this entire case had nothing to do with collusion or russia. >> that's what i just said. >> so it's worth noting and stating because what we've seen in this manic reaction to the sente

just another jane mayer exclusive in "the new yorker." you're detailing this relationship with fox news which is significant and only last night the president was doubling down with sean hannity, amid new scrutiny of his ties to fox news in your piece. what is the import here? aside from the fact that i inappropriately ordered the pressuring of the justice department to block a major merger. >> the question is, is the president -- has he been abusing his power to help his friends rupert murdoch, the mogul over at fox, and to hurt his enemies, the people at cnn. this was an order from the president to his top economic adviser in the white house to block a deal, a very major, multibillion dollar corporate deal. if they blocked the deal it was going to hurt cnn and help fox. it seems like he's trying to punish his enemies and help his friends by using the u.s. justice department. >> another thing you cite in this story is that fox killed the stormy daniels story, that they knew about it before the election, which would be, you know, sort of e

the big story in the new yorker is not news. great reporting. but not news., they say the president does. i have never seen anything like it. sean hannity never seen power like that in the media. the president does what he says. are you worried about that? >> let's go back and point out the facts. bill bradly during the kennedy administration the "washington post" was the go to source. ben roads brother the deputy national security adviser irnd obama. his brother is the president of cbs news. so let's not point out -- >> my brother is the governor of new york. those are individual cases. it's not a systemic effort of an entire net work to do nothing but ignore anything and attack other journalists who report different. >> cbs news didn't get special access to obama? >> yes. >> of course they did. >> not like fox. >> of course it did. >> all the interviews. he gives a handful to anybody else. it's true. >> this president has been more accessible to the media than -- >> that's poppycock. he won't come on cnn. had goes where he gets a pat on the back. that's fin

itis also comes at a notable moment after that explosive "new yorker" article came out a few days ago, essentially detailing the, close relationship betwee fox news and the trump white house, of course bill shine a former fox executive, and one of the charges in that speech is that the stormy daniels story came to t light from a reporter within fox news, and it was basically put to rest. and it wasn't allowed to be published. this is significant. no word yet on who is going to replace bill shine. it comes against the backdrop, andrea, of this twitter feud between president trump and his former attorney michael cohen, the president essentially saying michael cohen asked him, mr. president, this is international women's day, you may want to use the day to apologize for your own lies and dirty deeds, then named stephanie mcdougal and stormy daniels. based on my reporting, andrea, lanny davis telling me earlier this week that it was cohen who directed his attorney to discuss the possibility of a pardon with president trump's attorney. we have of course reached back out to our sources to t

she told the new yorker that fox news has morphed into something that is not everyone news. it's a mouthpiece for the president repeating what the president says no matter how false or contradictory. before the 2016 election, a foxnews.com reporter named dianna had proof that donald trump had an affair with stormy daniels and michael cohen was negotiating a proposed hush payment but quote the story didn't run. it keep being passed off from one editor to the next. at last heard from ken lacorte the head of the foxnews.com and told colleagues lacorte said good reporting but rupert wants donald trump to win so just let it go. jane mayor reports that trump said he has ranked the loyalty of many fox reporters on a scale of 1 to 10. brett bayer is a sixth, hannity a solid ten, steve the co-host of fox and friends so adoring trump givers him a 12 and jane mayor reports and who can argue with the rankings, by the way? jane mayor reports a pair of fox news insiders and a source close to donald trump told her they believe then fox news chief roger ailes informed donald trump's campaig

jane mayer reporting in "the new yorker" that fox news knew about the alleged sexual encounter and the hush money payment before the election but killed the story their own reporter found in order to protect trump. it's a story that oliver darcy first reported last year. she reports in killing the story, the then head of fox news.com told the reporter, quote, good reporting, kiddo. but rupert wants donald trump to win so just let it go. rupert, would of course we rupert murdoch. they do not deny killing the story which did not break until a year after trump became president. he insisted the story, which we now know to have been true, was nowhere near being something that would have passed muster, echoing a comment from fox news last year. the network declined to comment on mayer's new reporting. the decision to kill the story came in october 2016, which you might remember also happens to be when "the washington post" published the "access hollywood" tape in which the president boasts about sexual assault. particularly in the context of that tape, the stormy daniels story could have bee

here is what the new yorker article said. to a well informed source trump called cohn into the oval office along with john kelly and said in exasperation to kelly, i have been telling cohn to get the lawsuit filed. i mentioned it 50 times and nothing happened. i want that deal blocked. the article says cohn advised not to contact the justice department but then candidate trump said his administration would not approve the merger and said he believed it would give the media company too much power and later when the justice department was fighting the merger in court, the president tweeted his frustrations at his administration's opposition to the deal wasn't getting more attention. he called it a disgrace in reporting. around that same time his personal attorney rudy giuliani made comments that he denied the comments. the white house said it had no involvement with the d.o.j. the bottom line is that this report paints a very different picture of how the white house and the justice department have portrayed this deal. >> the pr

just out today, a new piece from investigative reporter jane mayer in the new yorker detailing the trump administration's relationship with fox news, titled, the making of the fox news white house. it highlights among many things how under president trump, actions taken by his administration have, whether intentionally or not, favored fox chairman rupert murdoch's business interests. chairman under bill clinton told mayer, there are three moves that have taken place in the regulatory and antitrust world that involve telecommunications that are extremely unusual. the only way to explain them, they are pro fox, pro fox, and pro fox. number one the administration approved the $71 billion bid to obtain fox group. it was blocked in its attempt to merge with tribune media a move some saw as forming a rival to fox news. and this one, how the president wanted to handle the merger of at&t and time warner, the company that owns cnn, back in 2017. the new yorker claims a few months before the justice department filed suit, trump ordered gary cohn, then director of the economic council to pressure t

now in a stunning new exposÉ publish in "the new yorker" it finds that the president was more involvedto block the deal than we previously knew. but wait, there's more. joining us now to discuss is the author of this new report, chief washington correspondent for "the new yorker," jane mayer, and full disclosure, i worked at fox news for many years and i was one of the many people quoted in jane's piece. jane, great to see you. great job on this epic 28-page article that you've written. i know that people read it with great interest, it crashed the website as i understand it and one of the big bombshell headlines in it was that president trump was more involved in trying to block that merger than we previously knew. tell us how he went about pressuring the department of justice into than justice. >> he promised the public he said he would not interfere with the justice department because that would be improper, but behind the scenes in the oval office there was a meeting where he basically ordered gary cohen who was his top economic adviser to get the justice department to file suit an

the letter does its best to persuade amazon that most new yorkers really do want the company, its 25,000s in dollars in new tax revenues. it also says governor andrew cuomo will take personal responsibility for the project state approval and cuomo has reportedly had several conversations with amazon executives including ceo jeff bezos since the deal fell apart, so far amazon has shown no signs that it's willing to reconsider. neil? neil: thank you, tracy. let's get the read right now for joe borelli, republican new york city councilman. they're trying pulling out all of the stops. >> he's trying and he's right to try. we shouldn't give up on the prospect of 25,000 not just jobs but we're talking real careers for real new yorkers. the problem the governor faces is that new york in and of itself is the reason why amazon 's not coming. amazon itself isn't the problem just the result of the problem. we can't be a high tax, high regulatory state and expect companies that don't necessarily need to be here, to come here at their own will, and this type of -- neil: a lot of the critics of this d

trade center stood in my district, many of the people who ran into those towers were my fellow new yorkers. the people who fled their homes and offices to find safety were my constituents. but they were americans. those towers fell not because they stood in new york but because they stood in the united states of america. . while it may have been the brave men and women of the new york police department and port authority who first rushed to those towers, to say that the survivors who are sick today are just new yorkers is untrue. there are sick responders and survivors in every state and 434 of the 435 congressional districts. this is not a new york or a d.c. issue, it is a national issue. and devs a national response. the second moral obligation directly ties the victims' compensation fund to the federal government. the reason so many survivors and responders were exposed to the toxins that made them sick was they were told by the federal government, specifically by christine todd wittman, then the administrator of the federal e.p.a., and then by mayor rudy giuliani, that they should -- t

tensions were likely especially high this week after "the new yorker's" jane mayer rocked the white house with her deeply reported piece on the close ties between the fox -- between fox news and the white house. mayer wrote that as a fox news executive, several lawsuits named bill shine as complicit in a workplace culture of cover-ups, payoffs and victim intimidation. and politico is reporting tonight that trump had complained to allies about shine being tangled up in those lawsuits. past trump staffers are also coming back to haunt the president. his former campaign chairman is a convicted felon, and today the president actually says he feels bad for paul manafort. >> i feel very badly for paul manafort. i think it's been a very, very tough time for him. >> the president of the united states says he feels bad for a man who was sentenced to nearly four years in prison for tax and bank fraud. undeterred by the facts, the president also grossly distorted the words of the judge who sentenced paul manafort. in an effort to claim vindication on collusion, the president made this demonstrably f

i'll read from it in "the new yorker," which is spurred a lot of this here.ump recently ousted his communications director, former fox executive. "the new yorker" has recorded that your reporter, falzone told colleagues that she was told regard to the stormy daniels story during the election, good reporting, kiddo, but rupert wants trump to win, so just let it go. >> my client is going to tell the committee and congress the truth about what evidence she had and what documents she had and we expect that perhaps the sources of jane mayer's article in "the new yorker" were very good sources, although they weren't my client. we expect that those sources will be vindicated with my client's testimony. >> it's very intriguing when you put it like that. chairman cummings clearly interested in it. you're breaking the news that basically in your view, tough luck for fox news, that the material and the information she has is going to go to the congress. and then on top of that, as i mentioned to viewers of "the beat," moments ago i just sat down with and taped an interv

new yorkers have been battling gridlock by decades. hout a doubt it is getting worse. navigating new york is becoming an barrabool. our regional population has grown, expecting to reach 21 million in 2020. —— becoming unbearable. lawmakers are finally addressing the issue. they wa nt to finally addressing the issue. they want to implement congestion prices, charging cars and trucks and feet the driving into the city. the money it makes will go directly into improving the ageing subway line. new york is late to the game. coquelin when london zoo back in 2003, there was a dramatic drop stop —— when london did it. with the popularity of car sharing companies, it has skyrocketed. new york has levied congestion on taxis and for higher cars at it is challenged in court. the new york subway system is in desperate need of update and the pricing could be a way to fund it but it costs more to live in the centre of new york so it is lower income people that will shoulder the burden. it will be aggressive if in fa ct burden. it will be aggressive i

because, jeff, there's a fascinating article in "the new yorker" by your colleague, jane maier.nd among other things, she writes that president trump ordered gary cohn, who at that point was his top economic adviser, to pressure the justice department to oppose the at&t/time warner merger. >> you know what's so interesting about what jane disclosed in this piece is that it dovetails very well with the jerry nadler document request that came out today. because what that's really about is not so much identifying criminality in the trump administration, but abuse of power. i don't think -- >> that's what's behind the nadler -- >> right. the idea that, you know, presidential misconduct, even impeachable conduct, can be beyond simply just violation of the criminal code, but abuse of power. and if this story, you know, could be proved in a more -- you know, with witnesses, this could be the kind of abuse of power that might even rise to the level of impeachable offense, because, it is something only the president can do, only the president can stop an investigation -- you know, or can

take a look closely when we are done, it's an oil portrait of colonel james delancey, a native new yorker who commanded troops during the revolutionary war against the cause for american independence. not decide we are used to talking about but a very interesting story that helps illuminate the character of the war in particular in new york. this painting is attributed to john durand, who we will talk about and painted during the war between 7078 in 1782. we acquired the supporters within the last year, it the first painting of a loyalist and our collection which is a landmark for us. we acquired it just as you see it, without a frame, from a dealer who acquired it at an auction where it was unidentified. he did a bit of work and i have been able to rely on that to identify it and place it in context. ithave not yet had confirmed, either. we had a little bit more work to do that may reveal some more details as we go forward. talk to you today about jim's the lands he and his activities during the war. course, andt, of put it in context, some other portrait of american wireless from the pe

we should also mention this past week there was an article in "the new yorker" that was drawing ties between the white house and the programming side of the fox news channel. that article reiterated something that was already well known, that bill shine was still being paid by fox news as part of his severance agreement with the company. suggestion being made by the writer of that "new yorker" article that fox news was tied to the white house because of the payments, which again was part of shine's severance agreement. shine may have thought that was becoming a bit of a distraction and one of the last things he wanted to be for the president was a distraction. that that may have played into his decision to go. he was the fifth communications director here at the white house. let's just put it up on the screen for you so you can follow along. sean spicer was the first one to handle dual roles. dan dunke was there. and scamramucci held the title for 11 days. then bill shine as well. we need to get an updated picture of bill shine. he does not look like that anymore. he always used to gi
