good morning, everyone, i'm poppy harlow in new york. totally legal. those words from the president this morning. he also says, done all of the time. yet when it comes to that meeting that his son, don, junior held with the russian lawyer in trump tower, supposedly on dirt on hillary clinton, the president still insists i did not know about it. and with that, his latest attempt to douse the potential legal firestorm only adds fuel to the flames. this morning, it is far from clear why if the meeting was so routine, the president himself dictated that highly misleading statement about it when the news first broke. well, this morning, the president says more clearly than ever before, that meeting in trump tower was held, quote, to get information on an opponent, which may, in fact, not be legal at all, depending on the source of the information and how it was obtained. kaitlan collins joins me now in bedminster, new jersey, where the president is on vacation. so he's not at the white house. there is no press conference scheduled with him right now for you

poppy? to the tape we heard that omarosa played this morning of her conversation with the president who said he didn't love at all seeing her released from the white house. interesting, borboris. thanks. we'll be right back. ahoy! gotcha! ah! nooooo... noooooo... nooooo... quick, the quicker picker upper! bounty picks up messes quicker and is 2x more absorbent than the leading ordinary brand. ahoy!

>> that's the big question, poppy. and no response from the president yet on this news about david pecker, but judging from what he said about those who strike bargains with prosecutors and how it ought to be illegal, it won't be pretty when he does. now, david pecker is someone who was very close to the president and michael cohen, his former attorney, who implicated him in that crime this week, saying he was the one who directed him to pay those two women, who allege that they had affairs with him. david pecker played a big role in covering up embarrassing stories about the president during the campaign, and clearly they think he has worthwhile testimony if they are giving him immunity. now, poppy, the question is, what could be at stake here? what does david pecker know? whether or not there are other people involved in making these payments to these women to keep them silent about the affairs that they say they had with the president, or if he knows of other women that similar payments like this were made to. what

it does matter, poppy.know what, it is very confusing and i would say the latter of the two statements, right, the july 13th statement, i believe. i don't believe that the president -- there's a lot of folks out there opining that the president knew about this meeting at some point along the way. i'm not so certain about that. i go with a july 13th 2017 statement where he said look, this is -- a meeting about people potentially offering up -- they came in under goois about lifting sanctions on the mag knit ski act and offering opposition research on a candidate. >> look, we know from the e-mail chain setting up this meeting to don jr. that it was about dirt on hillary clinton and he said if it's later in the summer i love it but i'm running out of time and i do want to get you on something so important. that is the media, the freedom of the press, and as you know over the weekend ethe president said the fake news is the enemy of the people then he said they, meaning us, the media, can also cause war. is tha

>> low, poppy, but not impossible. there is a strategy that manafort may be pursuing which is let's take two bites at the apple. if they win, wonderful, they're acquitted, they walk out but if they lose and they think they have enough to offer you can approach the prosecution team and say okay, you beat us, we're in a the you have spot but now we're ready to come in, if you're going to pull that off, you better have something interesting. >> but will you get as sweet a deal? >> look at the situation manafort will be in if he is to be convict ed. he will get 10, 12 years. so he wouldn't get as good a deal if he came in on day one. >> bob mueller's team have referred cases away from his purview and referred it to the southern district where elie used to be a prosecutor. talk to me about these cases. you mentioned how widespread these lobbying efforts with ukraine were and not just among republican consultants. >> no, democrat consultants have come up during the mueller investigation and one we talked about and has been r

i'm poppy harlow in new york. two of the president's right hand men this morning are felons. but this morning one very clear message from the president, tweeting moments ago, quote, i feel very badly for paul manafort and his wonderful family. justice took a 12-year-old tax case and, among other things, applied tremendous pressure on him. and unlike michael cohen, he refused to break and make up stories in order to get a deal. such respect for a brave man. a brave man? keep in mind, the president's former campaign chairman was just convicted on eight counts -- eight felony counts -- in his federal fraud trial. now compare that to what the president said about his former attorney, michael cohen, minutes earlier. the president wrote this morning, quote, if anyone's looking for a good lawyer, i would strongly suggest you do not retain the counsel of michael cohen. and then the president wrongly claimed this -- quote -- michael cohen pled guilty to two counts of campaign finance violations that are not a crime. they a

i am poppy harlow, in for erin burnett. outfront this evening, breaking news, a stunning series of statements from the president about bob mueller's investigation. reuters just posting an interview moments ago with the president. here's what the president said, and i quote. i decided to stay out of the mueller investigation, now i don't have to stay out, as you know, i can go in and i could do whatever. i could run it if i want. let that sink in. i could run it if i want. an investigation into the president. that's right, suggesting he could run the special counsel's entire probe. now, a probe that is investigating not only him but his campaign and his associates. the president also echoing his attorney rudy guiliani saying speaking to the special counsel and his investigators could be a perjury trap. this comes as sources tell cnn the president is unnerved by the stunning revelation that white house counsel don mcgahn has been cooperating extensively with the special counsel's team. three interviews lasting 30 plus hours.

. >> hi, poppy. >> hi. good morning. so the defense calls no witnesses. the defense attorneys come out and speak to cameras yesterday and say the government hasn't done its job, they haven't met their burden of proof. not unusual necessarily to not present a defense. right? but how do juries read that? >> well, it's important to remember, it is not unusual. it is also very usual for defendants to get convicted. upwards of 90% of defendants in federal court get convicted. it is not an easy thing to defend a case. look, take it from someone who predicted hillary clinton would are inthe 2016 election. i don't get the defense in this case. no. but i mean this defense -- like what's the defense here? they have never really articulated why paul manafort is not guilty. rick gates, they say he is a terrible person. but most of the false statements that rick gates made on paperwork was for the benefit of paul manafort. it was not for the benefit of rick gates. also, the tax returns. they were false. >> all the documentation. >> it was false. the bank submissions.

>>> i'm poppy harlow in new york. "hogwash." that is the word from former cia director john brennan. brennan clearly not intimidated by president trump's decision to revoke his security clearance declares that collusion -- his word -- collusion with the russians in the 2016 campaign is now beyond question. he's talking about the trump team in a scathing opinion piece that he wrote for the "new york times." brennan writes "mr. trump has become more desperate to protect himself and those close to him which is why he made the politically motivated decision to revoke my security clearance in an attempt to scare and silence others who might dare to challenge him." in the white house briefing room yesterday a statement read by sarah sanders asserted brennan lost his access to highly sensitive information because of his "erratic conduct." >> mr. brennan's line and recent conduct characterized by increasingly frenzied commentary is wholly inconsistent with action to the nation's most closely held secrets and facilities. the very aim of
