sneaky, slippery and sly in the conversation. >> we're talking about the breaking news that sarah huckabee sanders is before robert mueller, also reporting the news about sarah sanders first reported by our friends over at cnn. we've also learned john kelly, former white house chief of staff, i guess not the current, not the first but middle chief of staff, also spoke with robert mueller. i want to ask you a question, i remember robert mueller's 49 questions for the president that were shared with the president's lawyers. sarah huckabee sanders' name i don't believe was in those questions. but there are or there were -- we don't know trump addressed them, but there were pointed questions about the crafting of the answer aboard air force one that ended up conveying to the media, not a crime in and of itself, a lie about the trump tower meeting. that statement crafted after the president met one on one, one of five meetings we know he had have weapon vladimir putin where the notes were ripped up. nobody knows what he talked about. after he had that meeting, got on air force one, was on the phone and

they have every e-mail, text, they talked to multiple witnesses, and for sarah huckabee sanders to be interviewed, she giving her investigation that is intended for the public, no privilege. >> in a is such an interesting point you raise. there are people who at least have a claim to executive privile privilege. you saying she might be valuable because she doesn't have that private role, they could only emit. >> a lot of the taxpayers have attorneys. when they would talk to the irs it is not privileged what he would say to the attorney. that is deep trouble for the president of the united states, period. >> do you know the lochker verse, the mo mueller we come across, the more problems we see. but you look at all of this, that is just on the mueller probe gathering, i don't think this is fully sunk in. you could have the guy in jail for the rest of his life. >> it really shifts things. we said this last week, but you're right, mo mueller, mo probables. >> wh-- problems. >> this is the only case where the prosecutors talked about the possibility of someone aangge - angling. they though

they huckabee sanders said expect the conversation to wrap up in a few minutes. we will find out. sarahuckabee sanders says, saying there will be no statement, but that talks are ongoing, so quite a serious pivot. the market reaction, kospi extending drop to 1.3%, with the breaking news across the terminal. an abrupt about-face. is it negative? we will wait to see clarity. sarah huckabee sanders is not saying there's no statement. it's about the quality of the talks, not speed. that's breaking news, so we wait to see what comes from that. let me give you the breaking news on ab invev. they -- inbev. they still have a lot of debt, $102 billion, so that's unchanged. market, does grasp the organic revenue at 4.9%, expecting 4.4%. in earnings-per-share, quite a cents, thet .80 market penciling in one dollar. 10%, much higher than the market estimate of 6.5%. by the way, heineken taking the abinbevght right to in china. this is about reinvigorating bud, bud lite in the united states of america. an inflection point, no doubt about it, for ab invbev. let's have a little bit of a decco, one of

sarah huckabee sanders says this. this accusation is absurd on its face. this never happened and is directly contradicted by multiple highly credible eyewitness accounts. in addition to the kissing allegation which was first reported by "the washington post," johnson also accuses the trump campaign of gender and race discrimination saying she was paid less than her white male counterparts. the campaign dismissed the discrimination claims as unfound. johnson is the latest of more than a dozen woman who have accused trump over the years of sexual misconduct which he has repeatedly denied. johnson's claim marks the fir time a woman has come forward since the president took office. as "the new yorker" points out the most legally significant aspect of johnson's lawsuit, ultimately may be something the complaint doesn't explicitly address the pervasive use of nondisclosure agreements by trump during his campaign and in his administration. johnson's suit is the sixth suit in which employees have defied their nondisclosure agreement. three actions including johnso

that is not cool, sarah huckabee sanders.defending the. , not make him sound like he spends all morning in a montessori pre-school. he spends more time in a more creative environment? i'm picturing trump in his briefings, like, the duck quo's quack, dog quo's woof, i.s.i.s. goes boom and the donald goes no collusion! ( applause ) now predictably, many people were upset at the news hat the president spends nearly two-thirds of his day not doing anything. they think he should be working hard in the oval office, studying policy, military strategy, you know, really tackling the nation's problems head on, but i will be honest, i disagree, because, i mean, it's not his place. basically what i'm saying system cool with other -- i'm saying is i'm cool with other presidents working hard but i don't want my little guy hurting his brain. safety first. we'll be right back.

white house press secretary sarah huckabee sanders was interviewed by mueller's prosecutors. this is coming out now. it occurred in the fall, a period when prosecutors spoke to other white house heavyweights including john kelly. reports are mueller's team may be interested in what sanders knew about the trump tower cover-up story and if what she told the public may differ from what she says when she is effectively under oath. i am joined by someone who is really perfect to discuss all of this with, john carlin was chief of staff to bob mueller. i'm also joined by former federal prosecutor gene rosy and melissa murray, a law professor at nyu. thanks to each of you. on the mueller piece, each of you are legal experts in various ways, but on the mueller piece, john, what would bob mueller want to know from this person who plays a spokesperson role? would she have the juice on anything else? >> well, i think you need to ask and expect them to thoroughly and diligently investigate the facts as they have to ask her, often the person in that role is privy to conversations with the

so the chances are that sarah huckabee sanders knows something. >> interesting point.'re finding your communications director is going to be in the loop on key things. >> very much in the loop. and i think that's an important takeaway here. and also is speaking for him, so the obstruction, the lies, and there's no question that there were lies, for example, about the trump tower meeting. donald jr.'s role in it, the subject of discussion, which then were involved in a deceptive statement issued by the president. >> i want to get your view on the judiciary committee and your background on what it means to have the person who was number one in donald trump's campaign now facing what he could face. i want to compare this to watergate, as so often people compare these rhetorically. let's look at the numbers. here you have four and eight years from john dean, mitchell, take a look at what manafort faces. potentially decades. we don't expect he would actually get all of that, but what does it mean to you if at the end of the day mueller is securing longer prison sentences fo

evidence that come out can very rightfully be described as circumstantial this is something that sarah huckabee sanders the press secretary the white house press secretary has said over and over again you know yes there are all these people around him who are doing all these bad things but this doesn't say anything about the president this is peripheral to the president this is nothing to do with the president it wasn't wrong it was very much you know paul a man of war was over here doing one thing roger stone was over here doing another thing and it was very plausible that the president didn't know what was going on despite you know rumors accusations. allegations and cetera and now we have michael cohen coming in here saying yes he did know he knew that this was going on now again we have to remind people collusion in and of itself is not a crime what prosecutors are going to be looking for is evidence of campaign finance fraud which may revolve around these these payments to these women who trump allegedly had affairs with and not necessarily meddling but obstruction of justice obstruction of justic

sarah huckabee sanders is giving us a little glimpse into what we can expect him to be talking about.to focus on venezuela, the crisis taking place there. the president will say that the path to democracy in the country is irreversible and maybe add a little fuel to the fire, he is also going to indicate that the u.s. knows where the venezuelan military has hidden the money that he feels has been expropriated. we will see how that goes down later on. the president expected to speak in florida, and the focus does seem to be on venezuela. it is president's day in the u.s. the world's biggest retailer reports results. it is the first time we are going to hear from walmart following the crucial holiday quarter. emma chandra reports. : walmart is the world's biggest company by revenue, in billion sales. 20% of walmart's revenue is from overseas in 27 countries. is u.s.metric same-store sales. walmart has seen 17 consecutive quarters of sales growth. the holiday quarter is crucial. analysts are expecting again of 3.1%, excluding fuel and foreign-exchange. weight on e-commerce sales, investo

trump's point of view, and nancy pelosi will be begging for a wall and spending the dare with sarah huckabee sanders. is the president willfully wanting an alternative view or do the people around him encourage it because they fear his wrath. >> i think the president wants to create an alternate reality. we know there is probably repairs being done on the fence and probably things being done on the southern border, but for the last two years and before that he has been upsetting himself has he gets angrier and angrier when he could not get a wall. so i feel like he wants to give the cable news and other places clean ups of him saying the wall is built. he is tweeting out pictures of a wall that is not accurate. i think he is just trying to put it out there so people talk about it and might think it is real, but it is not real, it is false. >> someone is saying we're fixing of fences, so this is the beginning of us buldiilding thi wall. i worry that too many people are advising him with things being hidden that might make him explode and only giving him the soft things. >> when he says things that ar
