leave indeed the advice from the home office a little bit earlier ok peter cohen former metropolitan police officer really appreciate your time an r.t. thanks for that thank you. next there's been a second night of violent protests in the french city of nanda over the death of a twenty two year old man shot by police on tuesday protesters clashed with officers throwing molotov cocktails and setting fires in several districts the police say that the young man had refused to comply with orders and reversed his vehicle into an officer while trying to avoid an identity check was previously known to the authorities an investigation is currently underway for more details now from r.t. france correspondent jonathan landay. these are morgan devol clashes took place in this neighborhood. just hundreds of meters away from the place where that. a young twenty two year old man was killed trying to escape a police checkpoint there were clashes with some young people wearing balaclavas who went out on the streets to throw various objects at law enforcement what locals who went out on their balconi

>> good afternoon, board members, peter cohen with the housing organizations. it has been many years but this plan -- this is the next generation plan area for those of us who went through the first generation of not only market activity in these neighborhoods but other plans this is a fresh start to learn from the past. and one thing that is encouraging is that an affordable housing plan is baked into this one. we hadn't in the previous ones but that's a problem. so in that sense the planning department has done very good effort to try to find as much affordable housing and to identify the sites which will help our member organizations but in general to achieve a higher standard of affordabili affordability. we have helped with other organizations working in their specific geographies and providing technical support. we did a job housing fit analysis for the planning department to really to project what the affordability need is and it's about 56% affordable from very low income to middles. so striving for 50% affordable whether it's in the plan area or to mis

. >> good afternoon, supervisors, peter cohen, i just wanted to give a little context about this choice developers are making, about this time last year, as you all know, because you were sponsors of both, home sf and inclusionary were adopted as a pair and we tried to -- phil tinge was try to true up the local inclusionaries so it wouldn't be impacted negatively. that bill lost. that's the experience we've had for the last year, state density bonus is not only more attractive to home sf, but under mines the inclusionary policies. that's still a fix we haven't been able to solve. so it is a frustrating situation, there needs to be adjustments to home sf to lower the requirements to meet state density bonus, but that is where we are at a city and local policymakers. it's just a cautionary tale about what can happen at the state. the planning commission had a couple of recommendations we think are smart in terms of policy. one you mentioned to have indexing that mirrors inclusionary. there is no reason to not start that now, but it seems there should be -- five increase each year. secondl

peter, what a mess, frankly. the cohenape, this is clearly a strong signal from michael cohen that he is now in a different place vis-À-vis his client donald trump, and the tweet today showing anger in different directions, the vulnerability the president may feel about what could happen. what do we know about this tape? they were clearly speaking one on one, in person, in trump tower. this was a meeting, not on the phone. it's not illegal but it is clearly raising ethical questions as well. >> reporter: yeah, the president trying to raise some of those ethical questions. new york is a one-party state, that's why it would not be illegal. but obviously the release of this audio recording, as you note, just months before the 2016 election, escalates the dispute here. it's significant for a series of reasons. for one, the president appears to have knowledge about this hush money payment that was initially made by ami, the parent company of "national inquirer," to that woman on your screen, karen mcdougal, former playboy playm

house i'll be very concerned about what michael cohen knows and what he can speak to because he's been in the middle of everything chris well neither of peter this and i do think michael cohen has been in the middle of everything i would go even further and say that it's pretty clear that michael cohen is out for himself and out to stay out of prison and i think there but for the grace of god go anybody in that situation would probably have that same attitude if what peter is implying is true that there are that he does have information that would cause trouble and yes people should be concerned i think the fact is we will find out and time will tell what comes out of this but if there were if there overall concern i think you would see more statements be coming out about the white house trying to discredit him and you don't really see that and finally as a lot of concern about what he has to say here what do you expect in the supremes court appointment. i expect it'll be someone that was on that list from the federalist society signed off on as one of the most conservative judges in the country. that's who's on the list of people that trum

new revelations that michael cohen secretly taped the president involving the conversation tkeep a playboy model quiet. that tape is in the hands the fbi. peter alexander has details. >> reporter: nbc news confirming the president's e lo lawyer michael cohen secretly conversation with candidate trump about former playboy model karen mcdougal that g laims she has a year-lfair with the president a year ago. a source says heard on that rding made two months before the 2016 election, the men o discussing whether recourse the company. the white house denies any affair took place. >> i'm not a liar. i'll perceived as a liar or a nut and all these bad names. i did what i did. i'm not proud of it. >> reporter: the pb -- the tape ng during a raid on the office and part of the justice department's investigation into g cohen's role pay women to avoid embarrassing headlines about mr. trump ahead of the election. the president's lawydy iuliani says mr. trump never made that payment, no story about the affair was published. the recoing is less than two minutes long and cuts off before the conversation ends. did michael cohen betray you, mr. president? toni

peter doocy. how is the white house ponding to all of this today? >> reporter: everything cohen related gets forwarded to the president's outside legal team which does include reject reasonable. they'r-- rudy guiliani.reports h new cohen revelations are not. however, the president did want to get on the board about this today. he went on twitter and wrote this, arrived back in washington last night from a very emotional reopening of a major u.s. steel plant in granite city, illinois only to be greeted with the ridiculous news that robert mueller and gang 13 angry democrats obviously kept find collusion. only collusion with russia was with the democrats now they're looking at my tweets along with 53 million other people. the rigged witch hunt continue. fake news doesn't waste my time with dumb questions. i did not know of the meeting with my son don jr. someone trying to make up stories in order to get himself how of a unrelated jam. taxi cab maybe. he retained bill and crooked hillary clinton lawyer. this morning on the south lawn, the president was -- there were many questions

the work that the president and his teem white house which have nothing to do with michael cohen are doing. >> peteree? nothing to see here, twitter changes, much ado about nothing? >> look, it stands to reason that if michael cohen is facing a choice between flipping on donald trump and saying things that donald trump wouldn't want him to say and looking at a prison term, terrible ramifications for his family, the vast majority of people are going to put their family and themselves in front of donald trump. in that sense, yes, the trump administration has something to worry about. the political reality is that given the kind of hear no evil, see no evicti victi-- see no evd trump that is reflected by my fellow panelist and fox news and most of the republican party it woeb won't matter what the media uncovers about what trump was doing, what michael cohen says. literally no matter what comes out, people like parris will defend donald trump. >> actually you don't know me to say that -- >> i heard you so many times, and i've never heard you criticize donald trump on anything. >> actually, that's not t

peter strzok. rachel: it really was. pete: you know capitol hill. it is a circus. rachel: he seems so slimy. pete: steve cohenng back his shocking comment to anti-trump fbi agent peter strzok. listen. >> if i could give you a purple heart, i would. you deserve one. pete: he doesn't know what a purple heart is for. he is also blaming, you guessed it, fox news channel for that. rachel: the left taking abolish ice protest to the next level. one group wants to sue the agency and the agents. but there is new evidence voters don't want that to happen. our next guest worked for ice and says the calls to abolish ice are nothing but a scare tactic. ♪ in a pickup truck ♪ not going down until the sun comes up ♪ think that they are going to indict individual ice agents because of policies at the border. >> this is a scare tactic. >> you can tell it's scaring the left right now. what they are trying to do is trying to individually target agents in order for agents to be scared to not do their job. this isn't going to work. pete: yeah, exactly. i liken it to my own experience okay, could you actually bring charges against

one of them, steve cohen of tennessee's peter strzok deserved a purple heart, that he was a wounded warriorts so unconcerned about this? what if you inserted the name of a democratic presidential candidate? second of all, peter strzok bared his teeth and stalled about how it was undermining the credibility of the fbi. the animists he was - - didn't he understand that could undermine the credibility of the fbi far more than any congressional hearing ever could? i don't understand to this day why a man with such particular animus thought he was worthy of being involved in an investigation, he should have recused himself before he ever got to the point where robert mueller found out about the texts and immediately fired him. i am astonished by his performance. >>chris: your reaction to what carl just said about peter strzok but. >> he came in in a vulnerable position. those were stupid to send. that said, he came out swinging in a way that made his case to provide context for what he did. mostly political theater we saw that day.>>chris: it was pretty good theater. thank you panel. we'll see y

of -- michael cohen is the one that has gotten this ball rolling that flagged the white house that they didn't have this recording. is that how you're understanding this story. what peter just said, that's what it sounds like. >> who benefits would be michael cohen who is engaged in a public negotiation with his former client. cohen needs money. cohen increasingly urgent in first his pleas and his warnings to trump, help me out here or, things could go badly for you. i might cooperate fully. we heard cohen said he basically is ready to help the special counsel in his investigation. he is going it put the country and his family ahead of his loyalty to the president. >> mr. president please pardon me. >> pardon here and i'm available. >> the danger of making it so obvious isn't it it puts more magnifies public eye on this particular situation. if the president did pardon him, it would make -- that everyone would be that much more critical of the president. >> this is going to go out for the next several weeks. as we get closer to d-day for the special counsel's office and see their report and whether or not he can get the president to submit to an interview and all of a

when we asked michael cohen's lawyer if he would flip, he said cohen is commi to telling the truth. >> peter alexander at the white house. thank you. >> why don't we bring in nbc news legal analyst ari melber? good morning. morning. >> how significant is this news? >> this is very big. it deals with three number one, was donald trump in on any kind of international consracy regarding the election? two, was he covering something up that he knew about? is that why he made that fateful phone call from air force one about is? and ree, were any other aides involved in lying about this, now that the it's interesting b somebody's putting out this information tt cohen knows this and is willing to tell the special counsel this, but cohes being looked at by prosecutors in new york city that have nothing to do with the mueller pre. if you're robert mueller and you're waking up and you read do you doine, what with this? >> this is hot information. prosecutors would always rather get it secretly rather than watch it on the "today" show, so someone is pushing something.t the leaks t we are hearing about h

peter strzok. here's congressman cohen talking about the hearing. >> if i could give you a purple heart, i would.d a way to attack mr. mueller and the investigation. leland: does comments like that from democrats make it harder to have the moral authority if you will for congressmen like you who say we need the president to be tougher? >> yeah, i mean, i disagree with that at the samat the samestate. i don't think the fbi performed well during 2016. i don't think anybody should just defend them. i do believe we shouldn't paint with such a broad brush and impugn the integrity of all of the law enforcement folks, impugn the integ i did a inly af rod rosenstein. leland: do the democrats think if there's somebody that's attacking trump, that's good for me, nobody can call balls and strikes anymore? >> we're trying to paint this in black and white terms. yeah, mr. strzok clearly made some mistakes and was taken off the team as a result of that. but that does not mean that you can draw the conclusion that that -- that republicans can say there's some deep state conspiracy ongoing. leland: fair to say t

welk youÑi know, we have been distracted on all kinds of things starting with peter and the horowitz report now michael cohenurprising all of us. >> brennan: is that is what is holding up your negotiations? >> keeps us away from it. specid of tied up, although quietly getting ready for the manafort trial. we have negotiations going on, we have outstanding offer to them. they haven't responded in about a week to ten days. i don't hold that against them i think they got a lotçó going on like we do. >> brennan: what does that offer look like? >> i can't tell what you the overlooks like except there is a area of questioning and group oó restrictions on it that we can live with. i think. i'd have to reanalyze that in light of the new facts but i don't think that's going to change. >> brennan: narrowed to the -- obstruction ofÑi justice. >> relates basically to the russia collusion thing which we think is no evidence and wrong we don't really have much of a problem. the obstruction thing it's more a question of, we don'tñr see te legal basis for a president on strepping by taking an ox and firing somebody that he

to my fellow members of the house that are here, peter welch, charlie crist, steve:, -- steve come in -- cohen. thank you for coming. thank you for making the time. i am cognizant not only of why we are here today, but as chris said, -- i know as you realize in public life, you mean a lot of different things to a lot of different people. to your right and left here, you have politicians, public service, journalists, activists, volunteers, and you have regular old everyday people that were inspired by his legacy. you have folks like the guy i just shook hands with on the capital steps with a kind word about who my grandfather was and what he still means. from the bottom of my heart, thank you all for coming in today and joining in this celebration of his life and legacy. 50 years ago today, a young senator stood in this room and announced a decision to run for the presidency. in the freight -- three months that followed, he did what not many others in public life had the courage to do. he confronted the questions that our society far too often pushes to the side. we know they are there but for

cohen and the president respectively. the biggest thing that struck me from that interview, peter, when he said that when giuliani goes on evision and says that if michael cohen tells the truth, then that will be good for us. and lanny davis interpreted that to mean that if michael -- the truth according to trump is actually falsehoods and lies and lanny davis made it clear that if michael cohen tells the truth, it would be the opposite of what trump would say and trump would want him to say. so that was a pretty striking revelation. i do think it is an open question as to how much michael cohen has on donald trump. and it may be that michael cohen has a lot of information on other people and a little bit on trump. but as you point out, buttering up the special counsel, michael cohen has been buttering up the fbi from the very get go of these searches. i think at some point he is going to go meet with prosecutors and cooperate. >> and, betsy, michael cohen is not your usual deal maker -- excuse me. donald trump is not your usual deal maker. michael cohen knows that better than anybody right now. is it possible he's playin

president trump did nothing wrong, but tonight michael c cohe cohen's lawyer says, quote, any spin cannot change what is on the tape. lester? >> peter alexander, at the white house tonight, thank you. >>> there is a developing story we're following in houston. a murder mystery, a search fora ev prominent doctor who has previously treated former president george h.w. bush. nbc's tammy leitner has late details. >> reporter: tonight, an urgent manhunt for a gunman that shot and killed a renowned houston cardiologist during morning rush hour. the doctor was riding his bike to work at methodist hospital when the gunman also on a bike opened fire. >> the suspect was on a bicycle, as well drove past, rode past the doctor, turned and fired two shots. the doctor immediately went down. >> reporter: dr. house connect on the team of doctors that treated former president george h.w. bush in 2000. >> dr. house is an expert on cardiology. >> reporter: the 41st president tonight saying mark was a fantastic cardiologist and a good man. i will always be grateful for his exceptional compassionate care. his family is in our prayers. the houston medical

house that are here, and forgive me as it's a partial list i caught coming in, but peter welch, charlie christ, steve cohen, the dean of the delegation, richie neil, and thank you for coming. and to any others, blame it on my eyes and not my heart. thank you for coming and thank you for taking the time. i'm cognizant, obviously, not only of why we are here today, but as chris said, the significance of my grandfather's service and his last race for public office. and i know as you realize in a short time in public life that he meant an awful lot of different things to an awful lot of different people. but here and to your right and left, you have politicians, you have public servants, you have journalists, you have activists, you have volunteers, and you have regular old, everyday people that were inspired by his legacy. you have folks like the guy i just shook hands with in front of the capitol steps with a kind word about who my grandfather was and what he still means. so, from the bottom of my heart, thank you all for coming in today and joining in the celebration of his life and his legacy. for 50 years

cohen: thank you. any other speakers? >> good morning, peter strauss on the board of the san francisco transit riders and the member of the transportation justice coalition and we want to thank supervisor peskin for all of the work in the past few years that led up to this. and i want to thank supervisor fewer and your colleagues on the full board for joining as co-sponsors of this measure which we strongly support. as you know the voters passed it by two-thirds in 2016. and also many people were part of the task force late last year and early this year which supported an investment program in transportation but failed to develop a revenue source to support it. so we look to this as addressing the revenue issues as best we can. and we also recognize that we have a lot of work ahead of us and we look forward to working with you on developing the allocation strategy that needs to accompany this measure as we go forward. but today i want to thank you for your support and i urge the committee to pass this to the full board for it to pass recommenda

. >> conservative lawmakers asked peter stzrok a lot of questions but democrat singing a different tune. stephen cohenmedal for bravery. some are calling his comment disrespectful to the real heroes in uniform. bird on twitter calling it a slap in the face to our bravest and won't like this tweet from kansas, stephen cohen is blinded by his need for his party's acceptance and backing, he has become disgraceful to americans and certainly those who serve and serve their country through our military, corey chiming in saying disgraceful, cohen needs to apologize to our true veterans. mark meadows and darrow ice the criticized him for his remarks. jillian: a pizza shop owner offering free pizza but there is a bit of a catch. >> this pizza restaurant served up a listen to armed robbers who broken is walked away with a bunch of cash, saying $80 isn't worth 10 to 15 years in jail, next time ask for a job. or delivery drivers make that almost every night. the restaurant is implementing a new program where customers can buy police officers discounted meals, steady flow of officers in the restaurant and everybod

jeremy peters, it seems michael cohen has found his voice. >> it does.iar story lines but one that was bound to erupt because as we all know trump loves his petty torments. he loves to humiliate people. we have seen it with jeff sessions, with rex tillerson. these are cabinet officials, and the humiliation that cohen was subject to over the years, not just that but the fact that he from what i'm told has a wife who is not very fond of donald trump and certainly can't be very happy with the way he's being treated, this probably was only just a matter of time. we have to wait to see what happens. >> kasie, what do you think? i would think it would be nice if some republicans felt a little more concerned about their reputations, because at some point this presidency ends but their political careers, if they want them, what do they do? >> well, i think their political careers may still be brighter regardless than michael cohen's seems to be in the face of robert mueller quite frankly. and i think the sense, it seems to me, is that he is finally getting some

peter. the president has already started tweeting about michael cohen's comments. >> reporter: that's exactly right. first, just to punctuate the point that you were discussing there about rudy giuliani, you heard him last evening describing michael cohen as a liar, saying he's been lying for years. i would just compare that to giuliani's public comments on a sunday morning show just two months ago describing michael cohen in his words as an honest and honorable lawyer. here's what the president is saying today, doubling down on his denial. let's put these tweets up on your screen. he writes arrived back in washington last night from a very emotional reopening of a major u.s. steel plant in illinois only to be greeted with the ridiculous news that the highly conflicted robert mueller and his gang of 13 angry democrats obviously cannot find collusion. the only collusion with russia was with the democrats, so now they are looking at my tweets along with 53 million other people, that a reference to a "new york times" report that robert mueller's team is reviewing some of the president's tweets a

peter, we were listening to sam nunberg and stormy daniels attorney, both saying there could be more audio recordings of the president speaking with michael cohenthat, you think there could be a novel's worth. do you think it's a matter of time before we know if that's true? >> absolutely, no question about it. >> will that be made public? >> well, whether or not it's made public now or later, there's no question at some point in the historical archives of our country we will know pretty much what's on those tapes unless for national security reasons they are archived for decades. since this is precampaign, i suspect they will come forward relatively quickly. what's interesting to me, i'm a diver, i swim with sharks in the water a lot. when one shark gets bitten and it's bleeding, all the other sharks who used to be their friend come over and shred it. that's what we're beginning to see here, the unraveling of this very, very complex, although at the end of the day fairly simple, contaminated circle of mistrust, distrust and probably illegal behavior. >> we're going to have to talk about that shark diving you're doing. i'm not sure that's a goo

junior and we asked if cohen would cooperate or flip and cohen declined to use the word flip but committed to telling the truth. savannah and hoda. >> peterand gone. the government says it expected to reunite all eligible children by midnight. we won't find out if the goal was reached until later today. 700 children remain in limbo because parents failed background checks or more red flags. the federal judge must decide how to address that crisis. >>> wildfires in california out of control and deadly. explosive blaze killing a driver over night and injuring firefighters and civilians. a local tv station was forced to flee wile on the air and residents scramble to evacuate. california's governor declared a state of emergency. >>> are you ready for a boost? the news is done and we are going to boost you. sometimes when you are a kid with a loose tooth, you have to get creative to pull it out. for one little girl in texas, he died one end and the dart nerf gun. check it out. >> oh my gosh. >> oh my god! it came out. >> genius. >> it worked like a charm. >> she is so happy. she was anxious and the 5-year-old realized it was over in a flash. >

cohen: thank you. next speaker. >> good afternoon, supervisors. i'm peter warfield, executive director of library users association. congratulations to the new supervisors. our city prides itself on being humane, progressive, welcoming, and a sanctuary, but there are city agencies that through their actions are reversing those values, are doing things that are not so humane, not progressive, not safe, and not welcoming. as an example, san francisco public library, by its planned introduction of radio frequently identification tags will be making people -- what they read less private. it will make anyone trackable with access to the technology without the knowledge or consent of those people. the american civil liberties union of northern california and the electronic frontier foundation and sent joint letters to the city librarian strongly opposing the installation of this technology. second, the library also plans shortly to cut 15 evening hours from branchs, even though its own surveys of its own users have shown that the thing that they most want is more

shows president trump did nothing wrong, but michael cohen's lawyer tells nbc news any attempt at spin cannot change what is on the tape. dara. >> peter alexander, thank you for that. everybody. let's bring in julie manchester, reporter for the hill and ozzi, how damaging is this from a political perspective? >> anything that keeps this storyline in the focus is going to be damaging. now, fortunately for donald trump, he has so many other damaging stories that sort of switching them around, you can sort of argue that's a good thing, but michael cohen recording conversations with donald trump, that's not something you do by accident, and it's probably not something you do just once. questions become what else does he have and why are you talking to reverend sharpton, and the signal that's sending is that he wants help, and he needs help, and that's a message that i'm sure donald trump is getting in the white house. >> and julia, we are not exactly sure how the existence of the tape was leaked, but will you agree that it likely came from michael cohen's camp since this looks bad for the president? >> right. right. i think the fbi origin

and that is from myself from kristen welker, peter alexander who all cover the white house, a knowledgeable source saying michael cohen asserts that he says donald trump knew was told specifically by his son that of this trump tower meeting, this infamous trump tower meeting before it happened which is obviously significant that he would be willing to tell special counsel robert mueller. this comes i can tell you in the last few minutes, lanny davis the attorney for michael cohen is declining to canadien. we've reached outs to rudy giuliani and the white house. it comes after davis told us earlier today told kristen welker he's signaling they're ready to be more and more aggressive on there. this is ramping up in a furious way. we knew mike cohen, long-time fixer for donald trump, his right-hand man would take a bullet for him, you know this, now though it appears and daufs didn't say this ultimately but he all but said that cohen is in fact ready to flip. davis specifically declined to endorse the word flip. said he's only committed to telling the truth but davis said cohen has truth on his side. that's all he's goin

now, nbc news has confirmed that michael cohen is ready to tell the special couple tt then-candidate trump knew about that meetingefore it happened. peterxander is live outside the white house. >> repster: if t is true, it's a bombshell. key questions have swirled around what presiderump knew about that meeting and as importantly, when he knew it. overnight, a source with knowledge of the matter confirms to nbc news, that cohen, his long-time lawyer, protector, asserts that the president knew about that meeting in 2016, in advance, and was told by his son, don jr., before it took place. the source insisting that cohen is willing to make that assertion to theal spe counsel. ct en's claim would contra repeated denials, who said president trump knew nothing about the meeting until nearly a year later. that meeting happened in the summer of 2016, several months before t election, involvie ini trump jr. and other aides. jared kushner was there and paul manafort, as well as russians, who promised dirt on hillary clinton. cohen's lawyer in our conversation declined to comment on this. overnight, the president's lawyer, rudy giuliani, dismissed

cohen reported mr. trump talking about payment to former playboy model karen mcdougall. peterhington. stick with the president's personal attorney rudy giuliani told "the new york times" that e is a tape, less than 2 minutes long, but he believes it contains a conversation that proves that the president didn't do anything wrong because giuliani said the president tells michael cohen in this recording that if he did make a payment to somebody to write a check instead of sending cash so they would be some sort of a record of a transaction, the woman that they were talking about on this call that was apparently scooped up by micah lawyers trying to figure out what was privileged and what was not, her name is karen mcdougall, you can see her on the screen right there, she claims that 12 years ago, she had a one year long affair with then businessman donald trump, she later came out in april and said that she regretted it. she started apologizing to melania trump and the reason that she came out in april is because that is when she was released from a deal that she had made with th

i thought that steve cohen was out of line when he tried to make a martyr of peter strzok, saying, youhave members of congress from both sides of the aisle asking the real questions. okay, why did you send these? yes, it was inappropriate to do that. and playing sort of investigators and prosecutors, not politicians looking to send out a fund-raising e-mail and prove to their base they're tough. >> that's an interesting point, too. seems like there maybe should be a line that you can draw between say egg, okay, this idea that the bias that's shown in these texts turned up in the investigation, turned up in the actions of the fbi, where is the evidence for that, and we haven't seen any evidence for that. but then to turn around and say that strzok should get a purple heart -- you could make an argument in terms of the mueller investigation, it's probably for the best that strzok is not continuing as apart of that, just given the questions that could be raised. >> sure. absolutely. the reason we know about peter strzok is because robert mueller fired him from his team in july of last yea

cohen. they appear to discuss buying the rights to a playboy model's story that she had an affair with the president years earlier. let's speak to the bbc‘s petert do we learn from the tape? what does it tell us? well, this was a recording that was made in september of 2016, just two months before the presidential election that donald trump went on to win in just a few weeks after the parent company of the national enquirer agreed to buy the story of the former playboy model about her alleged affair with donald trump yea rs alleged affair with donald trump years earlier that he denies took place so during this conversation between mr cullen and mr trump, the government of the subject of financing and mrtrump government of the subject of financing and mr trump can be heard saying on the tape, what financing? he says, we will have to pay. he says no, that seems to be the heart of the marcus fysh the tape is concerned. pulling apart those words, to see exactly what the meaning was. one implication being a payment by cheque would be more traceable as opposed to a cash payment. has there been any response oi’ payment. has there been any response or
