i'd now like to invite bill sweeney to the podium. >> thanks.his afternoon, michael avenatti -- >> that was a u.s. attorney for the southern u district of new york detailing this case that new york now has on michael avenatti, a man who at one point expressed interest in running to be the next president of the united states. a man who represented adult film start daniels, who has reacted to this saying she is saddened, but not shocked by the news of his charges. again, these are two separate cases. it's california and new york and you just heard the details out of new york. let's get into the nitty-gritty. you're a former office there. fdny. so what i'm understanding is this is all with nike. he has a client who's a high school coach and they believe this coach has this information on nike alleging misconduct on behalf of nike employees and if you don't let me do this internal investigation an pay my guy 1 $.5 million, there's going to be a problem. dot, dot, dot. eventually, it's they b obviously expresed they don't want to do this. he says wel

to my left is my good friend, bill sweeney from assistant director in charge of the fbi new york fieldice. i want to thank him and his team for professionalism to see this investigation through. i want to acknowledge and thank career prosecutors and agents in my office for their role in the investigation and prosecution of this case. to my right, matt, robert, rob and supervisor for corruption unit. and the talent and the professionalism of these dedicated public servants is really extraordinary. our legal system, system of justice requires and realize on attorneys, members of the bar, not simply follow the law but uphold the finest principles and ideals. when lawyers use all licenses as weapons, as a guise to extort payments for themselves, they are no longer acting as attorney. they are acting as criminal and they will be held responsible for their conduct. i would now like to invite those to the podium. >> dana: you have been watching press conference southern district of new york as michael avenatti charged with extortion of nike. and he has for $20 million, greg gutfeld might want

special agent sweeney is excellent. >> if you're running the southern district and the doj has differentos and say you can't indict a sitting president, what are you burning my tax dollars for? >> what they're doing i'm confident is building a case for two things, one to go after those around the president who may have committed crimes, and two, to build a case if they have one -- i don't think they have one at the moment but if they were trying to build one against the president when he leaves office. the statute of limitations my guess won't run. >> so the white house puts out word tonight we think the special counsel regs protect the president. all right, in the regs, i don't agree. neal katial who wrote the regs doesn't agree. it says putting out the report to the ag could be told upon a finding of legitimate investigative or privacy concerns requiring confidentiality, and it could be released when those concerns don't exist anymore, and then there's a next provision is, by the way, all that is subject to the ag thinking it shouldn't come out in the public interest. do you think it s

here is the labour mp paul sweeney. technically, it is out of her hands. he goes on to say... if you can't see a route to a deal, if there's not a clear reason to do it. that gives them some wiggle room to actually still come behind the plan. he this is the german foreign minister saying... remember, theresa may says even if the deal goes through parliament next week, more time is needed for the full ratification process. hence the request for a few more months. next, here's the irish prime minister. there is a lot of political instability in london at the moment, as people can see. and there is a real risk that we wish to avoid of no deal happening by accident, despite people's best intentions. so i think it's time now to cut them some slack, to cut the british government some slack when it comes to their request for an extension and when it comes to their request that the strasbourg agreement be ratified formally by the european council over the next two days. so, we are willing to support both of those requests, but obviously we're not entertaining any change to the withdra
