patten has not yet been sentenced. he will not be sentenced until probably quite a few months from now down the road when the judge accepted his plea today will consider the information that she gets from prosecutors about how well sam patten has performed as a cooperator with them. she will take it into account, when she decides how long he will go to prison and for how long. in the meantime before he is sentenced, sam patten was instructed on hand over his passport. he will have to seek permission to travel outside the area. other than that, he is allowed out on his own recognizance. the next time d.c. back in court is halloween, 60 days from now. he will be be seen by that same judge. i mentioned that he is the latest cooperating person the latest guilty plea in the special counsel's investigation. i should note that this appears to be another one of those cases that start with the special counsel's office, but they appear to have handed it off. the prosecutors who appeared in court today for this hearing for sam pa

evan perez has more on patten and what he allegedly did. >> reporter: samuel patten pleaded guilty in federal government for failing to register as a foreign agent, prosecutors say he was paid more than 1 mmd for worki$1 million h a political party aligned with russia. patten admits to helping to funnel money to president trump's inaugural committee. the case began as part of the investigation of robert mueller who referred to the u.s. attorney's office in washington, d.c. now, under federal law, it is illegal for foreigners to donate to annul comm inaugural committ patten got around the law. we've known that mueller's investigators have asked witnesses about possible illegal foreign donations to the trump campaign and the inauguration, but the patten plea deal is the first public indication about that line of inquiry. rudy giuliani says that the plea deal has nothing to do with president trump. >> it turned out to be an irrelevant indictment where i think mueller has turned into the private prosecutor. what does it have todowith president trump? not a single thing. some guy donated

this could just be the beginning of patten's role in this story. evan perez, thank you very, very much. >> thanks. >> now the troubling notion that a foreign power could hold such sway over a presidential candidate that they can believe they had him, quote, over a barrel. according to a source with knowledge of the testimony, that's what a justice department lawyer told the members of the house judiciary committee this week. he, that person who testified, is bruce ohr, a 30-year veteran of the doj, and until the president of the united states made him the target of his online ire and called for his firing, he was just another career official specializing in russian organized crime. now he is the center of quite a story. and cnn's sara murray has it. sara, what are we learning about what christopher steele told bruce ohr at this breakfast? >> well, the latest twist in this is that bruce ohr was testifying in front of a congressional committee, and he said he was at a breakfast in july of 2016, and christopher steele was there. you know christopher s

i want to start with the patten plea. samuel patten. maybe not a name we knew before. but this is the first time we've seen formal charges by the government government related to an illegal foreign donation to trump political activities. that's interesting. i should also note that patten has agreed to cooperate with the mueller investigation. what do you make of this? >> well, it is very interesting. remember that rick gates, who also is a cooperator for the government, of course, was in charge of the inauguration. so it's not a surprise that mueller and his team and various u.s. attorneys' offices are digging into that. you know, we've been hearing reporting that prior folks in charge of inaugurations have said that the trump inauguration raised something like double the money but had a quarter of the events and a third of the staff or something, so where did all that money go? those are questions that people have been asking. so i don't think it's a surprise they're digging into that a bit, especially with rick gates having cooperated. now we have samuel patten coope

according to the documents, patten was lobbying for the opposition bloc. inside the united states he was being paid by this foreign political party, that's illegal because he never registered with the justice department. he gave a media interview saying he was not lobbying in the united states. the more interesting part of this plea agreement, he was not charged with this conduct but admitted to funneling a straw dee nation of $50,000 from a foreign source, his ukrainian client, to the donald trump inauguration committee. what we don't know, ayman, was this a case of the client wanting to get tickets to the inaugural and attend parties or was this a way to potentially curry favor with donald trump. and buy influence and who knew about that? those are the interesting questions raised by that straw donation issue, ayman. >> ken, do we know who made the straw payment on behalf of these two men? as you were saying, the money was funneled through some straw donor. do we know if that donor was a a willing accomplice to this or not? >> that person not named in th

patten's ran on an anti-immigrant platform. she beat him out by winning 329 votes to his 143. "the new york times" reports that former trump campaign chairman paul manafort will soon reach a plea deal with prosecutors to avoid an upcoming trial for his foreign lobbying work in ukraine. his plea deal could include cooperating with special counsel robert mueller's investigation into trump's ties to russia. last month, manafort was convicted in a virginia court on eight charges of bank and tax fraud. the senate judiciary committee has delayed its vote on supreme court nominee brett kavanaugh until next week. this comes as california senator dianne feinstein, the highest-ranking democrat on the

tell me about who patten is, first of all. >> sure. he is a long-time republican operative/consultant. he had done some work for the george bush campaign in 2000 and like a lot of people employed in this field, he had sort of traveled the world doing work overseas. he had also run for a time the office of the international republican institute, i believe, which is a organization dedicated to spreading democracy around the world affiliated with the republican party. he had run that office in moscow where importantly he first met konstantin kilimnick, the associate of paul manafort who we have heard a lot about in the paul manafort case. >> so he is -- kilimnick, just to remind everyone, is the sort of russian intelligence linked deputy of paul manafort. he's the one who receives the infamous e-mail from paul manafort when he gets the job as campaign manager. how do we use to get whole. like i got the job, have you told oleg. how do we use it to get whole. that guy has connections to patten, you're saying. >> yes. and the charges today a

tuesday, a former refugee from afghanistan named safiya wazir defeated deeply-entrenched incumbent dick patten in the democratic primary for state representative in concord.

sam patten plieding guilty, what can you tell us? >> is that somebody that was associated with the trump campaign? this is somebody who has connections to people inside the trump orbit. this is somebody who's done them. we have illegal donations coming into the trump campaign. this was something that the trump campaign knew. the paperwork shows this person is a russian and the other one is a ukrainian e iaian oligarch. they asked somebody to buy the tickets for them because you can't put foreign money into an inug gurl commission. i think that's a pretty astounding headline? >> and we say, yes, this is not the u.s. >> do buy know anything? >> we know from our own reporter that in fact andrew weissman who's one involved in the man na for with the u.s. attorney's office in washington, d.c. -- i'm sorry, cooperate the second part. yeah, they're definitely a part of this. >> let me bring you in. i know you've written extensively on this topic. i think these names may not be new two and the inug gurl committee? >> we do know federal prose

patten has agreed to cooperate with the special counsel.ing suspect taking his life as the police closed in. it happened in march, after a string of bombings in austin left two people dead and five wounded. officers chased down the suspect in his car. he blew himself up. more than 74 years after he heormed the beach at normandy in the d-day invasion, a veteran green beret paratrooper jumped 74om a plane over hawaii. this is how paul olivas celebrated his 100th birthday. bren he was told the world's oldest skydiver is 102, he said he'll top that, when he's 103. up next, turning the power of music against the cruelest of foes. foes. at fidelity, those zeros really add up. ♪ maybe i'll win, saved by zero ♪ at fidelity, those zeros really add up. i never knew there was a to my constipation until my doctor recommended miralax. stimulant laxatives forcefully stimulate the nerves in your colon. miralax is different. it works with the water in your body unblocking your system naturally. miralax . 98% of us don't get enough omega-3s. which is why me

patten has agreed to cooperate with federal prosecutors in washington, d.c. and special counsel robert mueller. patten, who has ties to paul manafort, pleaded guilty today to failing to register as a foreign agent. meanwhile the associated press reports today that doj lawyer bruce ohr was told by british former spy christopher steele that russian intelligence believed it had, quote, donald trump over a barrel. here to talk about all of this, ken dilanian and eric tucker, who broke today's news on that meeting between bruce ohr and christopher steele. ken, let me start with you on this question of patten, straw donations, the trump inaugural committee, i think i said campaign in the tease but let me be clear, it's the inaugural committee we're talking about here. take us through what we need to know about this, because this was a name that i think was not on folks' radar. >> not a household name. it's a former state department official, old time washington lobbyist, comes from an old family here. he pled guilty today to failing to register as a foreign agent b

with the investigation. >> that timing looks like we will see patten potentially as a witness in the manafort trial. he, of course, knew manafort for years. their work overlapped in many ways him he may have a part to tell in the story of the evidence that will be used in that trial some although mueller and his versions will make every effort to do nothing that would influence an investigation, this doesn't mean they have to take vacation for the next 60 days and stop working. >> it does not appear to be happening that way. another development just within the last week is that we heard that chris steele the author of that dos career that's been talked about the last two kweye or so, at least in our spaces, telling bruce orr, the lawyer from the doj that president trump does not leak clearly based on his tweets and statements, but evident ally steele telling orr russian intelligence had trump quote over a barrel. so the question, what does over a barrel? we know what it means coloquially you are in trouble or a threat. >> yeah, i think it probably is intended to mean the russians hav

news for paul manafort, yet another shoe dropping because we learned in the court filings that sam patten's former business partner is who m nener charged co-defendant with paul manafort in the upcoming sort of manafort 2 trial in d.c. later this month. so it didn't surprise me that the fbi and mueller's investigative team casts a wide net. they are trying to see what kind of inroads they can make to witnesses not just cooperating witnesses who are americans or american citizens, but perhaps even more broadly than that, potential witnesses who are russians who are ukranians and this didn't surprise me at all. >> and part of this, bruce ohr one of the lawyers here involved in this potential outreach to russian oligarchs, again we understand that president trump has really come at tfter this department of justice lawyer bruce ohr. >> yeah, he has. bruce is a career guy at the department before bruce met with one of the fellows the source of information who was involved in this whole steele dossier business. probably shouldn't have pretty with him by himself as a process kite tore, i didn't me
