mike schmidt who broke this story about the video from the "new york times" is back.e, take us through what you've reported here. >> basically this was a pro-trump convention. it had a lot of trump supporters speaking there, don jr. spoke there. sarah huckabee sanders, the governor of florida, desantis. there is no indication that they saw the movie. the movie was being played in a room next to a large ballroom. at the event it was being played on loop as part of a meme exhibit of other types of pro-trump videos. this was sent to us by someone who captured it with their phone. on the video is a trump/pence 2020 logo that is shown. the campaign says they know nothing about the video. and, you know, pretty simply the video is one of the most violent scenes that i've certainly ever seen in a movie. and given the superimposing of the president's face in all of his enemies and media organizations on it is quite striking, certainly one of the more striking things i've seen. >> publisher of the newspaper went into the oval office and asked donald trump to stop using his bull

. >> we are also joined by mike schmidt, washington correspondent from the "new york times." you have some reporting about the legal standoff, if you will, that may make this new process, should it become more public, even more explosive. explain that. >> yeah. on friday night, the cupperman, the former deputy national security adviser filed a lawsuit against the president and congress, essentially asking the judge to figure out whether he could testify to congress. now this may sound sort of legalese, but the most important thing that this gets at is that as this investigation moves towards the people closest to the president, the president has expanded powers to try and stop them from speaking with congress. he can invoke different types of privileges and immunities. and what has happened, what we think is going to happen going forward is that as these house investigators move closer to the president and try and get details about what he was saying behind closed doors to these aides, they will run into more problems like this. >> as the teleprompter fades, so do the introdu

"new york times" washington correspondent mike schmidt. former federal prosecutor glenn kirsch ner. and melanie zinona. let me start with you, frank figliuzzi. just go. >> well, when the u.s. attorney himself says the investigation is continuing, the investigation is continuing. when the indictment itself says that this conspiracy involved others known and unknown, there are others that are being investigated and likely may be charged. and i would warn all of these people including rudy giuliani that when i read this indictment and the level of detail and specificity, i smell not only human informants, but i also smell a wire tap or some form of electronic surveillance. and that means it's going to be very hard for people like rudy giuliani to say i don't know anything, these guys were doing this without my knowledge, i don't get it. there's a congressman named here reportedly pete sessions. he and rudy both should be deeply concerned this afternoon. >> just slush that point out a little more. because you say once the fbi has probable cause to, they were likely listening to them wit

and the aforementioned michael schmidt, pulitzer prize winning correspondent for "the new york times." good evening to all of you. really appreciate you stepping forward to help out our conversation and our fact finding here. michael, i'd like to begin with you. whose idea was it to present ukraine with a pledge in effect tying their agreement to look into the bidens with our agreement to loosen up military aid, by the way, to protect them from russia, that was approved by congress. >> that's what we're trying to figure out. moments ago capitol hill releasing new text messages and email messages that were exchanged between volker and giuliani and other senior state department officials to try and shed more light on how this statement actually came about. what was it that led these two career diplomats to raise the idea with the ukrainians that they needed to say publicly that they were going to investigate this company linked to biden's son and the 2016 election. to make it all sort of simple, i know there is a lot here, we just have to come back to the july call. it was a july call b

"new york times" reporter michael schmidt and his in colleagues write that gordon sondland ambassador to the european union drafted a statement for the country's new president in august that would have committed ukraine to pursuing investigations sought by mr. trump into his political rivals. "the washington post" says volker told house staff that he, quote, tried to caution giuliani that his sources, including ukraine's former top prosecutor were unreliable and that he fo should be careful about putting faith in the prosecutor's theories. and "the wall street journal" reveals that one reason trump ousted our u.s. ambassador to ukraine had to do with assertions from his friend rudy giuliani that she was, quote, undermining him abroad and obstructing efforts to persuade kiev to investigate former vice president joe biden. meanwhile, trump is ramping up his attacks on the democrats. here's what he said to an audience of seniors during a medicare-themed event in central florida today. >> if you want to drive them crazy, say eight more years or 12 more years. 16 would do it good. you'd re

first we are joined on the phone by michael schmidt, pulitzer prize winning washington correspondent for the "new york times." among those breaking the giuliani story tonight. michael, obviously the headline is a former u.s. attorney is under federal investigation. more than that, a former mayor of new york and close friend of our president. but how serious a charge would this be? >> well, as you're pointing out it's pretty unusual. this is the same office where giuliani rose to prominence in the 1980s, catapulting him to becoming mayor of new york city. so, it is that office, the most aggressive office in the country, the one with the most talented prosecutors in the country that is going after this issue here. now, how serious is it? look, cases are often difficult to make, but the problem is that once you head down one path you can often find other things. giuliani has been very public about his ties to ukraine. and that has probably given prosecutors a lot of insight into where they should examine. but at the same time, it's just yet another distraction for the president and we s

>> mike schmidt, are you back with us? >> i am. >> you have done some reporting on what happened and what became public, a story that published about three hours before these text messages were released by the three house committees. and it certainly paints a scene of a very elaborate effort that was underway by diplomats whose motives may still be in question. but their actions are becoming very clear. and take us through what you learned, ambassador volker was endeavoring to do with the president of ukraine. >> well, what they were trying to do with this statement was essentially get around the president and giuliani and satisfy them. they knew that if they wanted to sort of level-set u.s. relations with ukraine and help the ukrainians and push back on the russians, they needed to pacify trump and giuliani. and the only way to do that was to get the ukrainians to make this commitment, to essentially publicly lock themselves in to doing these investigations that they knew trump and giuliani wanted. and that's why they wen

with us at the table former republican strategist steve schmidt.arrett, take me through this day that is still unfolding on capitol hill. >> reporter: this was a somber day this morning. but it was one with a lot of attention paid to it, the galleries were packed, there were a lot of extra staff in the chamber. folks got here early for this vote series knowing that they'd be out the door quickly. and this is essentially the last major piece of business on capitol hill for this week. there is still one deposition that's finishing up downstairs. but by and large members would be going back to their districts. the vote itself didn't have a lot of drama around it. we knew going into it that democrats expected to carry this vote by a healthy margin. and indeed they did. and the post vote press conferences by both parties were very instructive about how we are going to hear this, defended and spun over the next week while members are back in their districts. democrats talked about the gravity of this moment saying nobody came here to get this done. and c

joining us, mike schmidt is a washington correspondent with "the new york times." he helped break the story tonight. help us through the rest of the fact pattern we have now, if you take the rudy dossier that the state department inspector general turned over to congress yesterday, you take this effort, that that conspiracy theory had filtered down. >> you have to put all that aside. you have to look at this in the context of the july call. in july, the topic of these investigations is brought up by trump on the call with zelle encan en can zelensky, the ukrainian president. a month later you have two diplomats coming up with a statement that commits the ukrainian government to investigating the things that donald trump wants them toen, the things that will be politically advantageous to him. these diplomats are trying to get the ukrainians to say it, to put this statement out, because if they say it publicly, it's different than saying it privately on a call with the president. if they say it publicly, it locks them in to doing that, to doing what they say they wi

and i want to talk about this michael schmidt story. this is like a scene where you have the person on the phone and you get into the office and it's like sign, sign, sign, sign, sign. it's being done by u.s. diplomats. >> right, and obviously the u.s. ambassador understood exactly -- well two u.s. ambassadors understood what's going on, and there was the first u.s. ambassador who was removed apparently on the word of rudy giuliani because she would not cooperate with this shakedown. >> she was an obstacle to the shakedown the president was exerting and giuliani on ukraine to do a political hit job on joe biden. >> she's replaced. the new ambassador texts and basically expressing the same sort of outraged incredulity that we are all facing right now. i don't have the exact words but saying it's crazy to with hold foreign aid for u.s. political reasons, right? so there's no dispute about what happened here. the debate now or it's not even a debate. the sort of warfare going on right now is that you're going to have trump apparently mike
