longtime attorney and fixer michael cohen and hush money payments to porn star stormy daniels and "playboy" playmate karen mcdougal. and in exchange for his help in the cohen case, weisselberg was granted immunity. prosecutors say when the president's personal attorney michael cohen paid off daniels just days before the election, weisselberg arranged for him to be reimbursed the following year. according to court documents, "the company accounted for these payments as legal expenses. in truth and in fact, the monthly invoices cohen submitted were not in connection to any legal service he had provided in 2017." they were for that hush payment before the election. today's news about weisselberg, yet another blow in a brutal week for president trump. >> michael, what is your message to the president? >> reporter: tuesday, cohen pleading guilty, admitting he broke campaign finance laws with a scheme to buy the silence of the two women "in coordination with and at the direction of" donald trump. then, we learned the president's close friend, "national enquirer" publisher david pecker, had cut h

obviously, it would have been embarrassing to the president that a playboy playmate had an affair with him. allegedly back in 2006,2007, remembering this is at the time stormy daniels also said she had an affair with the president. that story as well could have come to their attention, but at this point, what it looks like is that david pecker was instrumental in keeping stories out of his newspaper and out of other people's newspapers and television stations because he would pay for the stories and then allegedly just hold on to the information and keep it from the public. >> do we know what kind of information the prosecutors asked pecker about given he was subpoenaed by the southern district of new york and now the "the wall street journal" is reporting that the prosecution gave him immunity? >> it -- we don't know for sure, obviously, but i think if you look at the karen mcdougal case in particular, that case is already out in the public sphere. it's something that michael cohen certainly has talked about. he talked about the two women and two payments. the $130,000 payment that wa

now, of course, that information has to do with payments to porn star stormy daniels and former playboy model karen mcdougle. who have accused the president of having an affair with him. he denied the affair. the investigation where michael cohen pleaded guilty by the special count sell, robert mueller. this deal does not include any cooperation by michael cohen with federal investigators or prosecutors. now the president's lawyers had this to say, that there is no allegation of any wrongdoing against the president in the government's charges against mr. cohen. dave, christine. >> thank you. now, the big question, of course, how much trouble might the president be in? one source close to the trump organization tells cnn cohen's plea deal, which does not include cooperation with the government is further proof he does not have anything damaging on the president. they say essentially it is cohen's word against the president's. legal experts like jeffrey toobin say the president is not out of jeopardy. >> i don't think that even happened during watergate and pled guilty and said the sittin

months in relation to mr cohen and relation to mr trump's relationship with the adult film star and a playboy model both of whom were paid money according to mr cohen to silence them and to influence the election all right christine thanks very much indeed interesting to me there outside court in new york going to take us on further joined now by diana who's an associate director for anticorruption and illicit finance at the center for american progress diana welcome to the program and we've been talking about these cases for a long time haven't we and these i mean sometimes they explode into life what's your reaction to the developments. this is certainly an extraordinary day both in washington d.c. and also in new york so the news of cohen a plea deal comes on the heels of also amount of ford's verdict the jury has reached a verdict here in virginia on all the counts and he was found guilty on eight of them including tax evasion and bank fraud and. with regard to michael cohen he has pled guilty to similar charges in new york and so this is an extraordinary day it taints the presidency it t
