robert lai ties is the us trade representative, he is there as well, here's the one who has done allthe detailed work on what they see as china's contributions particularly on intellectual property theft. we have another adviser and finally the man who wrote death via china, he is perhaps the most hawkish among this group. let's stay with china, because mobile device maker xiaomi has revealed plans for a huge floatation on the hong kong stock exchange. xiaomi has been called the "apple of china", so the figures are going to be very large. rico hizon is following this. he is now asia business hub. rico, it's a case of xiaomi the money? xiaomi the money indeed. it could be worth $3 billion when it lists on the hong kong stock exchange and it could be the world's biggest public share offering since 2014. we still do not know the price and the listing date yet there is speculation it will take place in july and it will be the public offering since alibaba. despite all the excitement and optimism, there are still some investors who are concerned about the slowing smartphone market but xia

, it's critical what mark said, the idea that for a longe the president has been laying the groundwork ho say that robert mueller, is a republican, he is some hyperpartisa hack that is after him because people are mad that president trump is president and people want to get rid of him. and that idea has been something they've been working on for aim long i think rudy giuliani coming out and saying the mueller camp saying they might issue ai report think that's laying the groundwork that the report deal.a big robert: what about the origins of the probe. we've seen reporting from "the times" this week about the crossfire hurricane code name, the source we have been reporting on at the "st." are there legitimate questions about how the investigation was started? is vulnerable to congressional scrutiny, public scrutiny? >> i think mosrs law would tell you no, that this is how atstin wioigornsk. what the trup administration and his people have decided is a political solution to a legal problem. it is both a legal problem and political proem but they're really pouring as much energy as they can into the politi

chinese negotiations on nafta, there are just setbacks look at this statement from robert lighthizer yesterday layingaying the nafta countries are nowhere near close to a deal there are gaping differences on intellectual property, agricultural market access, energy, labor, rules of origin, geographical indications and much more. there was a may 17th sort of self-imposed u.s. side deadline on coming to an agreement with mexico and canada on nafta in order to get something passed through congress by the end of this year. that deadline has been passed. it's possible they could do something this year, but every day that goes on, it's less and less likely. >> big week of trade talks, eamon, appreciate you wrapping it up. >>> if you're hitting the road this weekend, pump prices are on the move jackie deangelis with here -- >> is here good morning >> it's been a long week how bad will it be >> i'm less concerned about this weekend. it's supposed to rain. next weekend is memorial day weekend. that's what everyone is focused on aaa saying the average for a gallon of regular now across the country is $2.91 we'

he called federal law enforcement agents storm troopers, accuses robert mueller of trying to lay a perjury trap for the president. what is your reaction to that? >> well, i just like to kind of remind people of a democratic president or had it come under brahm barack obama's administration the public would have been losinging their mind. payments to an adult film star, campaign finance violation and personal attorney calls our, you know, fbi agents and our federal agents in general basically nazis the fact that this is not even a big story tells you how dysfunctional this whole administration is. and to what degree of chaos that this president's caused. >> he also shifted the rationale for why james comey the fbi director fired when he gave that interview last night. the original memo drafted said it was because comey mishandled the hillary clinton e-mail investigation. president trump said on national tell to lesser holt because of the russia thing and told -- sort of said he got some pressure relieved when he talked to russians in the oval office and now giuliani saying it's because come

if that's the case, why would robert mueller and his team lay out this pretty detailed outline of the information they want? >> so first, it's not unusual to provide topics of questions to a subject that you really want -- >> that's a lot of topics -- >> you really want to sit down with. not only is it a lot of topics but it's fairly detailed questions. but understand this. and it's really not being talked about a lot. it's equally as important for mueller to strategically sit down with trump for an interview as it is for trump. why? i'm not saying that with a legal basis. i'm saying it because of the court of public opinion. if mueller is eventually headed toward possible impeachment proceedings, public perception matters. the congress needs to decide what to do with impeachment proceedings. if mueller never sits down with trump, never negotiates or provides topics and questions, doesn't get him to come in, there will be a public segment that says the president is besieged, not getting his chance to speak. similarly, if trump never sits down, trump can be the besieged beleaguered pre

and senator jeff flake says there's concern among republicans that the president is laying the groundwork to fire robertueller or deputy attorney general rod rosenstein. >> behind the scenes there's a lot of alarm. there is concern that the president is laying the groundwork to move on bob mueller or rosenstein, and if that were to happen obviously that would cause a constitutional crisis. there is concern behind the scenes. i've vented concerns that we haven't spoken up loudly enough and told the president you simply can't go there, and he's obviously probing the edges as much as he can. >> right. >> to see how far congress will go, and we've got to push back harder than we have. >> jeff snowflake basically the only republican who is saying this publicly. i've heard the whispers on capitol hill. there are a lot of republicans talking about it behind the scenes. are there similar concerns among the white house staff that the president may take a move like this? >> well, it's clear as senator flake said that the president is probing the edges. he's getting closer and closer to whatever red lines are bein

robert mueller. in a tweet this morning laying it out this way, the 13 angry democrat and people who worked eight yearsbama are working on the rigged russia witch-hunt will be meddling with the midterm elections. especially now that republicans stay tough are taking the lead in the polls. there was no collusion except by the democrats. got it? fresh take on an old conspiracy. the deck is stacked against him and they're all out to get him until they're not. joining me, michael nutter and doug heye for the rnc. mayor nutter, the president is questioning the legitimacy of the elections coming up what . what impact does it have? >> this is just a continuation of his usual now paranoia about everything. you know, it was not rigged in 2016. but he keeps talking about that. he's got that loop tape going in his head. all he's doing is trying to cast doubt and fear in the court of public opinion. distract attention away from the self-inflicted wounds on his own having fired mr. comey, which then resulted in a special prosecutor, mr. mueller. it is absurd, and certainly an insult to his history of service to the

. >> and yet, rudy giuliani, we understand, did meet with robert mueller earlier this week, trying to lay the parameters that there were to be an interview with the president and the president yesterday said he'd be happy to sit down with mueller. do you think that's going to happen? >> i don't know. i would be surprised at this point if the president sat down with mueller for an interview, despite what he has said. perhaps they're trying to find middle ground here where perhaps the president could answer questions in a time-limited fashion or answer questions in writing. the safest thing to do would be to answer questions and have them submitted in writing. that way you have really tight control over exactly how you answer them. but given open-ended several long hours interview to this special counsel under the circumstances and under the posture that has been brought forth this week, i think it's highly unlikely that the president will ultimately sit down and do that. i know he's maintained his innocence and maintained there's been no collusion so they may take a little pr hit but it's

think the lesson of trump is paid no price for the lying and only problem he has is robert mueller and i think he is layingroundwork and what giuliani is doing. that's one of the things he said last night was the incredible assault on the department of justice. personal attorney, i guess that's what giuliani is, deferment of justice, disgracement -- >> storm troopers. >> that's the fbi guys i think. sessions and rosenstein should end it, giuliani said. a month, two months ago, we are cooperating, we hope it ends. this investigation's coming the year -- mueller's appointment i think may 16th. two weeks from now the one-year anniversary of it. i think trump's entirely capable and i think consistent with what he and the team doing saying one year is crazy that this is still going on. proved nothing, no collusion. he says that over and over and learned in public relations reputation works and i wouldn't be surprised to fire all of them. mueller, it's question of trump to fire him r directly. trump asserted in passing of course i can fire mueller. that's part of the presidential power and laying the groundwork

lays out a case. elie: as you say, robert mueller has run a tight ship.said a word publicly, nor has anyone on his team leaked. he has a long track record of being a straight shooter and playing by the book. i think you are right. the only place where he has spoken so far is in the indictments that have already been returned. those have gone into a lot of detail. we should not overlook the specifics that are out there in the indictments and guilty pleas of manafort and michael flynn and papadopoulos. those draw some serious links between high-ranking campaign staffers and white house staffers and the election. every time that no collusion mantra is repeated, look at what is in the record. david: at the same time, how long will this go? you have done these prosecutions, criminal prosecutions. the fact that they want an interview with the president, does that indicate they are close to the end? elie: it could. i have done prosecutions not like this. i don't think anyone has. complicated criminal investigations take years. this is not lawn order where you ha

robert mueller continue. rudy giuliani told me on the phone laying down some conditions saying the scope of the questions has to be whittled down to the central issues, russia and the comey firing. everything else is -- he would only give mueller a brief opportunity to question the president likely two to three hours. listen here. >> that's the amount of time, steve, that we would allow only because that's what clinton got. he got only 2 1/2 hours and he fought with them over discovery. we've given them over 1.2 million documents. we could have raised presidential privileges and other privileges. we gave them a complete picture what's going on. if they have a case they can do it in 2 1/2 hours or dispose of it. >> he has not yet made a decision whether or not the president should sit down with mueller. a lot rests on whether they think mueller would keep an open mind. that it could be comey who is not telling the truth and the president is telling the truth. he said if that's the case then maybe they'll consider a sit-down interview. giuliani also saying they're willing and ready to fight a subpoena should i

the special counsel provides a federal judge with a justice department memo laying out the full scope of his authority. is robert mueller just getting started? president trump marks the anniversary by calling the probe a disgusting, illegal witch hunt and suggests the fbi under president obama used an informant to spy on his campaign. and deposition possible. a judge lets a former apprentice -- against president trump proceed. does that mean the president could be forced to answer her allegations under oath? i'm wolf blitzer. you are in "the situation room." >> this is cnn breaking news. >> breaking news, president trump says plans are still in the works for a meeting of kim jong-un saying that the dictator could be in power if he gives up his nuclear weapons program. i'll speak with congressman castro. and our correspondents and specialists, they're standing by with full coverage. let's begin with our senior white house correspondent jeff zeleny. the president seems to be -- dictator to stay in power giving up the nukes. >> reporter: good evening, wolf. reassuring kim jong-un to remain in power if he abandoned

attorney rudy giuliani answers the $130,000 question on stormy daniels and lays out parameters for any potential interview with robert mueller. we have it covered from all angles. we have the former prosecutor with the legal analysis. terry holt and leslie marshall will look at political implication. we begin with chief white house correspondent john roberts live on the north lawn of the white house. >> what a storm rudy giuliani created last night when he said on "hannity" that the president reimbursed michael cohen for the $130,000 payment as the non-disclosure agreement. but he cast the payment as a retainer for services rendered and expenses incurred on michael cohen's behalf, that the president was not reimbursing him for paying off stormy daniels. merely reimbursing michael cohen for expenses he said he had. at the heart of the case is the potential for the violation according to rudy giuliani. a -- that is what he believes he is pursuing. and the fact that the president reimbursed cohen for the payment to stormy daniels takes it off the table. listen to what he said. >> he was definitely reimbursed. no doubt a

lay in the future. this is quite the case of robert e lee. in march -- it's easy to talk about it. in march 1863, lee suffered a heart attack. there's no question it was some form of heart attack. a serious heart attack. what did the physicians do to him? nothing. they didn't know anything about the workings of a heart. of course if a man gets sick, he's going to start fearing death. when you run into epidemics like measles, which will take out 10% of every regiment in the civil war -- you get measles and small pox. if you get around water, you're going to get typhoid fever sooner or later. so with all of that sickness around, these soldiers are scared. and i'll add one codicil do that. another reason soldiers were afraid of water is few of them could swim. they're farm boys. they see a big stream there and they're fighting. and -- so water is not your great ally in the civil war. it can be your great enemy. the fear of sickness will reside in these men constantly. and that's going to exacerbate until he feels awful. maybe in imagine, but in all likelihood in reality. you get a sho

robert f. kennedy jr., wrote a book, laying out a case for skakel's defense, discussing with "dateline" in 2015nce he could not have done it because he was 11 miles away with 5 eyewitnesses. >> reporter: it's unclear if prosecutors will try the case again. but after nearly 43 years of seeking justice, martha moxley's family is ready to move on. >> martha was killed when i was 43. in a couple of weeks i'm going to be 86. that means half of my life i have lived with this. so, i think i can live the rest of my life with it also. >> reporter: dorothy moxley told us she believes michael skakel killed her daughter. over the years, skakel's defense team has suggested that perhaps skakel's brother was involved. >> kate, thank you so much. >>> for more on all of this, we te turn to michael skakel's attorney, michael fitzpatrick. good morning. what did michael skakel say when he heard the supreme court decided the conviction should be overturned after all? >> gratified, elated and very thankful to all of the lawyers who participated in this case and had pressed forward with the appeals over the years. >>

says jared kushner, he's disposable and lays out his strategy for how to deal with robert mueller. i have a great team to help us break all of this down. i want to walk you through all of this. because this has been an extraordinary, let's call it, 14 hours. giulia giuliani's media tour has given us a ton to get through. but the headline is this. in trying to help the president, giuliani contradicted his client's own explanations and statements on at least two key points. so giuliani's lying or trump is. the payment to stormy daniels and of course the firing of james comey. let's start with the payment to daniels. here's what giuliani told fox news last night. >> having something to do with paying some stormy daniels woman 130,000, i mean, which is going to turn out to be perfectly legal. that money was not campaign money. sorry, i'm giving you a fact now that you don't know. it's not campaign money. no campaign finance violation. >> they funneled it through a law firm? >> funneled through a law firm and then the president repaid it. oh, i didn't know he did. yes. >> funneled it th

grant has been laying siege to the city of petersburg, a key transportation and supply hub for robertrthern virginia. until now, lee has been able to fend off the union sustained attacks. if petersburg falls, so will richmond and, with it, the confederacy. >> petersburg is one of the great grinding trench-filled sieges that points toward what war is going to be like in the 20th century, and what lee is doing is he's bringing in supplies from the southwest. and what grant decides to do is to send a detachment around to attack a vital junction called five forks that, if it falls to the union, petersburg becomes indefensible and lee is going to have to leave. >> the federals have broken our lines. they're less than a mile away. ♪ >> sir, i'll ride forward and alert general heth. we must close the breach. >> with the loss of his most strategic installation at five forks, lee's options are narrowing. after months of being entrenched in petersburg, the army of northern virginia is on the run. >> vo: these neighbors are starting right. miracle-gro guarantees results with rich potting mix and

. >>> with rudy guilliani laying down new conditions for the president to speak with robert mueller, we are learning about the interview that nearly took place in january. he joins us with the latest. >> with this interview end up not taking place? >> right, anderson. they got so close, close enough they actually had a date they were discussing, january 27th. it was a saturday. there was even a discussion that they would possibly have it at camp david, the presidential retreat just outside of washington. again, these are all discussions that were going on between the mueller team and the president's legal team. in the end, they decided that the idea of sitting down with robert mueller's team was too risky, was not appropriate at that time. a couple of days after the meeting was supposed to have taken place, john dowd, who was then the lead lawyer on the president's team, sent a 20-page letter in which he explained the reasons why the president should not sit down, and that includes constitutional reasons. he also -- they also made the point that after turning over thousands of pages

so is rudy giuliani is laying out the conditions for a potential interview with president trump and robert mueller's investigators or robert mueller. so what are those conditions? we discuss all that next. people confuse nice and kind. but they're different. it's nice to remove artificial ingredients. kind never had to. we choose real ingredients like almonds, peanuts and a drizzle of dark chocolate. find your favorite and give kind® a try. well, lik-oh!st of you, i j-very nice.a house. now i'm turning into my dad. i text in full sentences. i refer to every child as chief. this hat was free. what am i supposed to do, not wear it? next thing you know, i'm telling strangers defense wins championships. -well, it does. -right? why is the door open? are we trying to air condition the whole neighborhood? at least i bundled home and auto on an internet website, progressive.com. progressive can't save you from becoming your parents, but we can save you money when you bundle home and auto. i mean, why would i replace this? it's not broken. why is dark magic so spell-bindingly good? it's a bold blen

attorney went on a bit of a media tour in a part to lay out strategy, much more aggressive and combative strategy how to deal with special counsel robertueller. that new strategy was especially evident of whether it came to questions whether or not the president will agree to an interview with mueller's team. giuliani says at this point there is no way he would do that, when he believes investigators have no case, would only be trying to get the president to perjure himself. on abc, giuliani said if mueller decided to subpoena the president for an interview they still would not have to comply? >> well, we don't have to. it is president of the united states. we can assert same privileges other presidents have. president clinton negotiated a deal which he didn't admit the effectiveness of subpoena. >> if they fought a subpoena, could lead to court battle that could work its way up to the supreme court. even if an interview takes place, giuliani suggested that the president could invoke his fifth amendment right not to testify. the at the end of the weekend, giuliani told "the washington post" that he and the president reached a deal, goi

roberts, shake the tree. >> right. >> hang around for the lay-up or the rebound if something falls your way and perhaps by applyingontinued pressure, disney reports earnings tonight what are shareholders going to think about the possibility it's not just going to have to compete on sky, which as i reported, it's going to. i've heard no backing down whatsoever on the disney camp from the willingness to compete against comcast's current offer for sky and therefore have fox raise the offer. but, also, going to have to compete here pressure the stock price create the idea that perhaps this shareholder vote will no go fox's way. remember the murdochs can only vote their economic stake for the m & a situation. roughly 17%. is it possible with the higher bid on the table, fox shareholders will turn down the disney deal and maybe something comes your way in these fashion. they don't want to be in business together. they don't want to own sky together they don't want to own hulu together the way the deal is, they will because comcast owns 24% and disney owns the remainder. >> why doesn't murdoch want the most money >> ther

lay the split. you really have to understand any of this. you have to understand how dramatic that chasm was. >> charles is joining us from miami florida. the democrats line. were on with robert merry and matthew dallek. >> hello. my question is the right man for the right job when nixon read tired he said no more do you have me to kick around. he had decisions about watergate and about a lot of other things. >> that was from 1962 when he lost that race for governor. >> it was really an attack on the media. he said after losing the pat brown in 1962. you're not going have nixon to kick around anymore. i think that the reason why that moment stuck in part was that it reflected his resentment towards the media. it was a flash of how much he felt under siege by the media. the caller makes an important point. that nixon who is very smart and had vast political strengths. incredible will and resiliency. i want to over analyze. but it was pretty clear that he had these deep inconsiderate -- insecurities. he was suspicious of the media, of his enemies. the irony is that he went on in 1972 this crushing landside win. he 149 out of 50 states. but he was so desperate to ensure victory

lays out that moniker, spygate. it spreads among their base that if and when there's a report issued by robert mueller that goes to rosen stestein that we get to see that builds a case against the president, they'll be prepared to believe that it was all a witch hunt, it was all by virtue of spygate and a setup. it prays upon the attention span of the american people. this is a very complicated story and it requires a lot of read-in to come to terms on what transpired. i think i have a handle on it but here's one area of agreement with the president. i want to see all the documents. i want transparency. i want to know what transpired here. >> what about, though, the people who are enabling the president, right, the members of the media. specifically house republicans, certain channels, certain conservative hosts like this. >> in the center of maybe the greatest scandal in modern political history, the fbi spying on the 2016 trump campaign for maybe two years. the dutiful lackies in the press deny it ever happened. now we know it did happen. >> we will lose the country. we will destroy the rule of law. we will shred our

the president's attorney rudy giuliani laying out today what he's comfortable with the president talking about and not talking about with special counsel robert>> if mueller -- everything can be worked out then they would probably limit it to collusion and obstruction. the collusion part, we're pretty comfortable with because there's been none. the obstruction part i'm not as comfortable with. the president is fine with it. he's innocent. >> all right. let's bring in the panel to discuss this. joining us from kentucky, cnn political commentator and former special assistant to president george w. bush scott jennings. and in our nation's capital, the deputy managing editor kelly jane torrens. isn't that a target knowing what the lawyers are uncomfortable about talking about him with? >> yeah. you know, ryan, i have to say i take a little bit of a contrarian stance on rudy giuliani. i know a lot of people in washington think, you know, he's what's going on with him? little crazy. saying this and that. goes on the shows, says too much but i think the most telling thing he said in this interview today on cnn was talking about not making trump the

allegedly detailing questions that robert mueller wants to ask trump before the investigation concludes. if any of these questions are true, be warned, mueller is laying huge perjury trap for the president of the united states. which means two things, one, he has nothing. and two, it proves everything i have been saying about him and andrew weissmann and company. two of america's top attorneys are now sounding the alarm. watch this. >> the questions are inartfully drawn, they are written as open-ended questions. they are not cross examination questions. they are not sharp questions designed to confront and test. they are really designed to let him ramble and talk. i suspect that that is the strategy of the special counsel, because they know that the data may be president trump's weakness. if they were to ask him direct, tough, questions to which you could answer yes or no, that might not give them the advantage that they are seeking. >> the questions are an intrusion into the president's article two powers under the constitution to fire any executive branch employee. to ask questions as mr. mueller apparently processed to do about what the president w

many people who think he should not sit down with robert mueller saying he would like to do so, they think they are maybe plodding the ground work and layingnt from move to, yes, i'd like to sit down with him, to i'm not going to do an interview. this may be part of that public strategy to lead the president to a justified way in their minds to say i'm not going to sit down and do an interview. >> you think he does an interview or no? >> i don't know the answer to that. reading those questions you can see why his legal team would be so concerned about it. it is so far reaching, it is every possible avenue and if you look at president trump's abilities in answering questions about anything, if i was his lawyer and i'm not a lawyer, i would be very concerned about him sitting down and answering these questions because of just how broad the scope is. >> all right. david, thank you very much for the bottom line. >> thanks, guys. >>> how about some friday good stuff on this fake friday tuesday? >> let's do it. that's what the prompter promised, it's friday. everyone mark your calendars. >> #tuesdayfeelslikefriday. good stuff next. here's the st

robert mueller. >> you can tell you behind the scenes, there is a lot of alarm. there is concern that the president is laying the ground work to move on bob mueller or rosenstein. if that were to happen, that would cause a constitutional crisis. there is concern behind the scenes. i've been concerned that we haven't spoken up loudly enough and told the president, you simply can't go there. he is obviously probing the edges to see how far congress will go and we have to push back harder than we have. >> i spent a lot of time on capitol hill. there is a lot of whispers. when you press them in a public forum, he is the only one that really expresses alarm about this. do we have any sense that republicans would take action if president trump were to follow rod rosenstein or robert mueller? >> we'll have to wait and see. i've heard the same whispers as you have with republicans in the senate. he's been more of a guard. for example, mitch mcconnell was briefed about this whole spygate thing this week and he was asked if he still supports the mueller investigation. he said absolutely. it is a legitimate investigati

robert mueller. we very occasionally hear from him on indictment days when these things drop in a statement form. he has been laying low. they have that locked up. >> we hear from them in court occasionally. and they address the judge but you are absolutely right this does not leak. we reported we expect them to indict russians in hacking and leaking case. that has not happened. we believe he has that evidence. >> thank you. pleasure to have you. north korea threatening to throw in the towel on next month's summit between president trump and kim jong-un creating a kind of summit standoff. how south korea is now stepping in to try to smooth things over after the break. it took guts to start my business. but as it grew bigger and bigger, it took a whole lot more. that's why i switched to the spark cash card from capital one. with it, i earn unlimited 2% cash back on everything i buy. everything. and that 2% cash back adds up to thousands of dollars each year... so i can keep growing my business in big leaps! what's in your wallet? handcrafted layers of clean food you can give your kids. tomatoes. even the picky ones.

allegations against trump and his cronies why robert mueller's russia propane probe came up empty or the president would hand out federal pardons, a move for which he was layingndwork. and the interim attorney general has been named but who will get the job next fall when it comes up for election. no surprise, democrats are buzzing about several candidates who would certainly go after the president with just as many velocity. jake. >> one hopes that anthony wiener and eliott spitzer are not among them. thank you so much. >>> want to thank tom forman and brin engrass. and now the panel. schmeider was a second option and does it turn up the heat on the special counsel. i'll get your answers right after this quick break. so, how's it going? well... we had a vacation early in our marriage that kinda put us in a hole. go someplace exotic? yeah, bermuda. a hospital in bermuda. a hospital in bermuda. what? what happened? i got a little over-confident on a moped. even with insurance, we had to dip into our 401(k) so it set us back a little bit. sometimes you don't have a choice. but it doesn't mean you can't get back on track. great. yeah, great. i'd like to go back

the second part is trying to lay out limits for the investigation through rudy giuliani's comments. he says if we have an interview, it will be two hours. robertided he doesn't have the power to indict a sitting president and our mueller hopes to wrap this up by september 1. robert mueller hasn't said that to us. >> peter, let me ask you about that ch that. robert mueller never said that to rudy giuliani. this september 1 date is something giuliani made up. >> sort of like trump. >> his point is anything after september 1 would be fatally compromised as a political exercise because it would come in the middle of a mid-text election. >> i understand the point but i can make that point, you could make that point but if we said robert mueller had assured them that it wasn't going go past september 1 on the obstruction of justice charge, well, if mueller didn't tell us that we would be lying like giuliani appears to be lying right now. >> it's fair to say mayor giuliani is not a spokesman for robert mueller and we should keep that in mind when we talk to him about these kinds of things but what he seems to be doing is laying out some red lines or

events, including multiple giuliani interviews with robert costa, on fox and friends last night with sean hannity, is it's part of the strategy to lay out the reason, the argument, why the president would reject any subpoena from a grand jury, and rudy said last night, no written responses, at most, two to three hours, then he retracted. i think they want to keep the president from being under oath, under questioning for mr. mueller and his team, because that is the quicksand into which impeachable offenses come out of. if you sacrifice a pawn, that's no big deal. michael's case is no big deal compared to an impeachment offense that rises to that level. >> michael ava naty, can i get you to weigh in here, as we reset, because we have of course been talking so much about what giuliani has had to say about payments to your client and what unfolds next. based on new information from this report, what's your next move in that case? >> well, there's been a lot of information to come down the pike in the last 18 hours. >> just a little bit. >> and we're going to be incredibly -- yes, the pace of this is rather staggering. we're not going

roberts live on the north lawn. a big personnel change, john. >> it's like the ever resolving door of people coming and going. let's lay out for you what it was that ty cobb was doing. ty cobb was president trump's in-house attorney dealing with the mueller investigation. he wasn't dealing with the day-to-day legal issues at the white house. that is white house counsel don mcgan. but he played a significant role and a person who is advocating for the president to do a sit-down interview with the special counsel robert mueller. after some deliberation, ty cobb decided he would retire. i haven't had a chance to talk to him yet but he told me a while ago he was looking forward to going back home to south carolina. in a statement, sarah sanders saying, "for several weeks ty cobb has been discussing his retirement and last week he let chief of staff kelly know he would retire at the end of this month." he is going to be replaced by emmet flood. let's put up his c.v. or the prominent points of it. he clerked for justice antonin scalia and was president clinton's impeachment lawyer. represented dick cheney in the valerie plam

we're going to lay out the facts and the evidence for the american people. >> do you believe your case is somehow connected to robert mueller? has robert mueller's folks reached out to you or only the southern district of new york? >> i'm not at liberty to discuss who at law enforcement we communicated with. we are cooperating. >> okay. have you been asked to speak to robert mueller? have you or your client been asked to speak to robert mueller's prosecutors? that's not something that others have felt that they couldn't disclose. >> well, others may not have felt that they could or could not disclose it. that's not my position. my position is that we're going to respect the process and we're not going to be providing details on who in law enforcement we speak to and when. >> all right. the attorney for stormy daniels -- stephanie clifford, aka stormy daniels. thanks for coming on "meet the press." >> thank you. joining me now for another perspective is alan dershowitz. he is author of a new book he put out, "trump up." welcome back to "meet the press." >> thank you. >> i want to get you to react to something that ru

robert gates. >> my own view would have been it would have been better to stay in the agreement at least for another six months and essentially lay down an ultimatum to our allies. and say either you join us and very heavy penalties against the iranians for the ballistic missile programs and you join us in resisting iranian meddling in the middle east. either you help us with those things or in fact i will walk away from this agreement. i think we could have pushed the europeans a lot harder. eric: garrett tenney has more live from washington on this continuing debate. hi, garrett. >> hey, eric. one of the big challenges european leaders face in keeping the nuclear deal alive is sanctions by the u.s. once again targeting iran and any foreign companies doing business there. that's created a bit of a mess for corporations, particularly those based in europe which invested billions of dollars in iran after the nuclear deal was signed. france, germany, and the u.k. are now lobbying the trump administration to exempt those businesses from sanctions. but today on fox news sunday, secretary of state mike pompeo said while it is a possib

robert mueller subpoenas the president? will you comply? >> we don't have to. he is the president of the united states. >> that is rudy giuliani president trump's newest lawyer laying out more details of the strategy he thinks will best serve the president. president trump tweeting this. the russia witch hunt is losing credibility. the house intelligence committee found no collusion with russia. now the probe says what else is there? how about obstruction for made up phony crime? there is no o. it's called fighting back. joining us now is jim hiemz of connecticut. i will get to what the president's tweet was. let's talk about rudy giuliani. when he says the president doesn't have to comply with the subpoena is that right? >> that is completely wrong. as a matter of law this has never been tested but also not in question. nixon was asked to produce tapes and bill clinton was compelled to participate in a civil case. the idea that the president would have to -- could be subpoenaed is not open to question. he could plead the fifth. >> and rudy giuliani seems to suggest that is something the president could do. >> first of all just on its own, the way trump talked abou

giuliani also laying out the conditions for a possible interview between president trump and special counsel robert mueller. the former new york city mayor saying the sit-down would be two to three hours max and would hinge on some specific conditions. >> i don't expect that we're going to have an interview with the exonerating -- >> i have a lot of questions. >> i would like to get one not under oath. i would want a videotape and -- audio taped. i want to make sure they don't misrepresent his answers. but this is an outrageous miscarriage of justice. >> sandra: john roberts is reporting live from the north korea -- the north lawn. >> a stunning revelation when rudy giuliani acknowledged that the president did, in fact, reimburse michael cohen, his personal attorney for the $130,000 that cohen paid to daniels for that non-disclosure agreement. however, giuliani insists the president was paying cohen a retainer for services rendered and expenses incurred and didn't know specifically what the money was being used for. giuliani said this morning that the payment was not to help the mpaign. it was to s
