no one is beyond the law in new york. that could matter to other people who have never even been charged in the first place because the trump organization has faced investigations for a range of activity beginning with michael cohen's hush money payments and ending with a whole lot of other things that are still sparking all kinds of questions for the people who have worked for that trump organization. i want to bring in wall street journal shelby hollywoiday who reported on the probe. good day to both of you. we have done so much law throughout this whole first part of this show. i turn to you not on the law but on the bigger picture. this is one of those days where it's hard to even imagine it happening to any other president say from maybe nixon but this is the president of the united states. this was the number one guy on his campaign. this is 7.5 years and before the door even shuts, if it were a movie, he's getting hit with new charges in new york. we heard from a prosecute's friend in new york who says they're not

and that is why new york prosecutors today, not federal prosecutors, but state prosecutors in new york threw a huge wrench in the works for the white house today when they unsealed a brand-new 16-count felony indictment against presidential campaign chairman paul manafort just minutes after his sentence was announced in court in d.c. obviously the immediate revelation everybody had upon seeing that indictment is whatever the president may be considering in terms of using the pardon power, and whatever the president might be thinking about whether he's going to spring manafort, either getting rid of his convictions all together, just getting rid of the federal prison time that manafort is about to do, the immediate revelation from that new york indictment today was, well, as we all know, there is no such thing as a presidential pardon for state crimes. there is no way a president can commute your state prison sentence. the president can't get paul manafort out of new york charges. and that is one important thing to consider about the new new york indictment against manafort today, but i

let's move to new york. because 1970 is another crucial basically, i will tell a complicated story as quickly as i can. new york city almost went bankrupt. the financial capital, wall street could not pay its bills and came that close to going to bankruptcy. why? historians argue about this often. a combination of the impact of the economic recession really hit new york. new york loses a couple hundred thousand jobs during this time. same time, going back to the 60's which had been a good time economically. york has a city income tax, loss of revenue coming in the 60's, but they also increase city programs. there's greater demand for city programs, greater demand for .elfare new york city has its own hospitals, hospital costs are going up during this time. new york is becoming slightly poorer. , whitewhite flight middle-class, upper middle class residents are leaving the city. that impacts negatively the tax base. people who remain tend to be slightly poorer, greater demand for social services. what the city

with the senate flipping the last election new york state is now run entirely by new york city, there's of legislation, not one resolution, not one law that's passed that isn't vetted by new york city. if new york city says no, it's done. so there's no representation throughout the west of the state except in new york city and it's got -- with the left taking control of new york city, what we are seeing is a meltdown and the rest of the state is done with it. >> so redistricting is a very political -- politically sensitive subject and i can only think of one time in history, 1864, west virginia in the civil war, prounion splait from virginia, otherwise it's very difficult to do, i mean, is this even constitutional, something that the state senate want for new york? >> this is something that's going to be needed, this is going to split into 3 autonomous regions and as soon as we do, i with tell you, that other two regions would become texas overnight, the economies will start flying in the rest of the state. >> do you think they will start flying without the economic engine of new york c

from there she went to new york. she is met by the great editor thomas fortune, a transplanted brooklynite. she says, well, it has been a long time getting to new york. but now that you are here, i am afraid that you will have to stay. wells says, what are you talking about? she did not understand why he said that. then she learns that all hell has broken out in memphis after that editorial. her newspaper had been destroyed. her business partner had been threatened with castration and forced to leave the city. a former co-owner of the paper was pistol whipped and forced to sign a letter denouncing the editorial as a slander against white women. wells was threatened with lynching. there were folks posted at the railway station to intercept her. she was told a local black militia group would protect her if she returned. but ida concluded that doing so would mean more bloodshed, more widows. she was now in exile. she would not set foot in her native south for the next 30 years. having destroyed my paper, having a price

so new york city they had human rights laws that were more expansive than the federal laws. so it protected people in housing, employment accommodation. as a disability, somebody who was discriminated because they had aids could go to this legislation, they could go to the human rights commission of new york city and new york state and file a complaint and have it investigated and potentially get their job back or get help with housing. the commissions looked at funeral homes and looked at hospitals, so that was, i kind of look at that line about how being disabled gave people with aids some civil rights that they didn't have. >> and how do you research the other part of that component, those with physical disabilities as part of the a.d.a.? >> because there were a couple of organizations, like the leadership conference on civil rights and it included the members, national gay task force, human rights campaign fund, gay rights national lobby and also campaign for the disability rights and defense fund and a couple of other disability rights organizations. so they came togeth

i receive one from new york assemblyman ron kim, he opposes amazon to come to new york. he said it is time to oppose giving megacorporations billions of dollars in the name of economic development. studies have shown, corporate welfare, especially company specific subsidies do not work. i reached out to several others including alexandria ocasio-cortez. they didn't respond. amazon hasn't responded to this story either. we still know that amazon is going ahead with the second half of its planned campus in virginia where we know that there is a protests that have started there too. back to you guys. melissa: yeah, they're mad also. kristina thank you. connell: we're joined in the studio with one of political leaders that signed on to the letter kristina was talking about, new york democratic congressman gregory meeks. thanks for coming in. you joined us when we did our show from long island city. you were in washington that day. many people were surprised by amazon's move to new york. you guys that support it are not giving up. what are the odds they can come

however, new york state just dead. the attorney general's office issuing subpoenas according to a course familiar with the matter for deutsche bank. the attorney general also wants to see documents relating to a failed bid to buy the nhl's buffalo bills. if that sounds familiar to you, there's a good reason why. >> i'm giving to the committee today three years of mr. trump's personal financial statements from 2011, 2012 and 2013. which he gave to deutsche bank to inquire about a loan to buy the buffalo bills and to forbes. these are exhibits 1a, 1b, and 1c to my testimony. >> that obviously is michael cohen's opening statement to the house oversight committee just last month. he was talking about what he said was the president's hackett of inflating or shrinking the declared values of assets depending on whether he was seeking loans, buying insurance for his properties or paying taxes on them. in short, if proven, it could amounting amount to several types of fraud. >> to your knowledge did the president ever provide i

in new york. is no pardon power. there is also no whiff of potential interference. unlike the doj where presidents can try to interfere. they're not supposed to. if donald trump or any of his henchmen try to call cy vance for any reason, doesn't matter. no jurisdiction. they ignore him. nothing in our system requires them to ever talk unless and until the d.a. continues on this case or any others, and, again, that goes to the other question. if paul manafort, as you've discussed, lawrence, was basically lying and hiding something to protect someone, why was he doing that? and does he think that there was some reward potentially at the end of the federal road? tonight he's got a new road that donald trump can't help him with and that could ultimately lead to new information that even bob mueller wouldn't have because bob mueller's in the federal system. >> and, glenn, we learned this evening from chairman jerry nadler, judiciary committee, that the president of the united states feels free to call

new york is late to the game.03, there was a dramatic drop stop —— when london did it. with the popularity of car sharing companies, it has skyrocketed. new york has levied congestion on taxis and for higher cars at it is challenged in court. the new york subway system is in desperate need of update and the pricing could be a way to fund it but it costs more to live in the centre of new york so it is lower income people that will shoulder the burden. it will be aggressive if in fa ct burden. it will be aggressive if in fact it did not include a comprehensive point to address congestion and trace but the outside of manhattan because it is the outer borrow people who go into manhattan paying the price. whether they implement the pricing will be decided by the end of march but the sooner the city will see money from it will be january 6021. the speculative markets before we go. asian markets are flat. slightly lower for asian markets are flat. slightly lowerforjapan. asian markets are flat. slightly lower for japan.

you called for the new york a.g.o do exactly this kind of investigation, a civil proceeding against the trump organization, one that could end up with the company being dissolved. how extensive to the crimes have to be to warrant that. >> the steps they took last night, the crimes don't have be to in grand scope. it could be a business is engaged in fraud and what they acted on is -- and keep in mind this is confusing to some republican officials today this. is the new york state attorney general, so this independent of federal interference. so the crimes can be relatively narrow for them to act. but the next step as they find out more from deutsche bank about not just some of these federal crimes but state crimes consist in new york of bank fraud, insurance fraud, and tax fraud. if they find enough pattern of persistent fraud, the new york attorney general, under another statute, can bring a petition to dissolve the trump organization in new york state. >> and we have effectively a state rico statute, which maybe yo

attorney for the southern district of new york.t michael avenatti recently traveled to iowa and new hampshire when he was smorg -- exploring a run for president. the lawyer who represented a porn star in a suit against the president was arrested today in new york. he's facing felony charges in two separate coast-to-coast federal cases. the southern district of new york of all places has charged him with attempt to go extort over $20 million from nike in just the recent weeks. he's accused of demanding the cash by threatening to damage the company's image and reputation. he even previewed it on twitter this afternoon announcing we will be holding a press conference to disclose a major high school college basketball scandal perpetuated by nike that we have uncovered. according to reports, just minutes later he was arrested while meeting with lawyers representing nike. avenatti appeared briefly in court in new york this evening. he was released on $300,000 bond. he did not enter a plea but said this on his own behalf. >> i am highly c

paul manafort's legal jeopardy is certainly continuing in new york city. i'm not sure it's even occluding as far as that aspect goes. >> collusion is never a crime, but prosecutors are employed by the dozens because we need you so much. but the lie was told with the cooperation of putin. the lie was told by paul manafort about his campaign chairman, about the contracts and polling data he handed over to putin-aligned russian assets. >> it's a mystery we don't know the answer to, why did paul manafort choose to hand over that confidential campaign data? why did he choose to go to madrid to do it? what was so unseemly about his relationship with konstantin kilimnik? >> why wasn't he busy? he was the campaign chairman. >> he had time and it was important enough to go to madrid in the middle of the campaign. can you imagine being on a campaign and just being like, casual jaunt to europe. it still baffles me that that is the one thing that he really went out of his way to lie about. and we still don't know the answer. and you can't help but to feel that with so

how new york city is trying to tackle its traffic problem. and on the markets, asian markets were mixed. investors are waiting for the federal reserve‘s latest policy decision later this week. the pound is fighting back against the dollar after taking a hit from the latest twist in britain's brexit saga. the brexit uncertainty is piling up — as you've heard, the speaker of the house of commons has blocked a possible vote on the prime minister's brexit deal. he said a convention dating back four centuries meant that a bill that had already been rejected by parliament could not be resubmitted unless it was substantially changed. so what does this mean for businesses? they remain in limbo, warning that uncertainty has harmed jobs and the economy. the latest brexit tracker report by ey estimates that london is most vulnerable — on track to lose about 7,000 jobs to the eu "in the nearfuture". it's not just lost jobs, but new roles that the uk misses out on. the consultancy says about 2,000 roles are being created on the continent and ireland in re

how does new york suffer? michael: new york has had some tremendous momentum. about the cornell initiative which bloomberg actually sparked. i think the momentum of google buying chelsea markets for $2.4 billion. they have 7000 to 8000 employees. you were seeing new york develop as silicon valley part two. i think a punctuation point on that would have been amazon. i think it is a statement that it is hard to do business here, that we don't welcome tech companies like we should. i think it is not just the loss of the 25,000 or so jobs, i think it is the meaning of it, what it signifies, which is we cannot get it over the finish line. matt: respectfully, when was the last time you saw san francisco offer an incentive for someone to move there? we, new york, we need to be in a place where we don't offer tax breaks. the great companies move here for the talent. i think we are actually there. notwithstanding, i wish we would have gotten amazon, i think it was poorly handled, but a body blow is a little harsh. emily: where do you see the opportunities in new york de

let's move to new york. 1970's, another crucial event is the fiscal crisis of new york. i will tell a complicated story as quickly as i can. new york city almost went bankrupt in 1975. america's largest city, the financial capital of wall street could not pay its bills and came that close to going to bankruptcy. historians argue about this often. a combination of the impact of reallynomic recessions hit new york. new york loses a couple hundred thousand jobs during this time. at the same time, going back to the 60's, which had been a good time economically, new york institutes a city income tax. new york has a lot of revenue coming in in the 60's, but they also increase city programs. there's greater demand for city programs, greater demand for welfare. new york city has its own hospital. hospital costs were going up at this time. new york is becoming slightly poorer. have whitet, you upper middle-class residents leaving the city. it leaves -- it impact negatively.

nick kristof from the "new york times.", the one thing michael cohen said yesterday during seven hours of testimony that president trump says is actually true when we come back. >>> let's see. how do we put this? the summit ended with no warning, the press corps scrambled, equipment had to be broken down. flights has been changed. bags had to be packed. the president walked onto air force one. he arrived in washington to a news cycle by a former friend who lowered the boom on donald trump. just yesterday michael cohen accused the president of committing crimes. trump told reporters he tried to watch as much of the testimony he could. he said his former lawyer lied a lot but not about everything. >> he lied a lot but it was very interesting because he didn't lie about one thing. he said no collusion with the russian hoax. and i said i wonder why he didn't lie about that too. and i was actually impress that had he didn't say, well, i think there was collusion for this reason or that. he didn't say that. he said no collusion.

the gentleman from new york. mr. nadler: mr. speaker, i yield three minutes to the gentleman from california, the distinguished chair of the intelligence committee, mr. schiff. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from california is recognized. mr. schiff: i thank the gentleman from new york for yielding and for his sponsorship of this important legislation. i rise in strong support. special counsel robert mueller was appointed in may, 2017, to oversee the ongoing criminal and counterintelligence investigation into russia's interference in the 2016 election, and over the nearly two years since his appointment, the special counsel has indicted 34 individuals and three companies and secured guilty pleas or convictions from eight individuals. we do not know when the special counsel will complete his work, but there are indications it could occur in the near future. notwithstanding the overwhelming public interest into special counsel's report and findings, i am deeply concerned that attorney general barr may attempt t

>> we are primarily invested in new york-based companies. we reflect what new york is good at.ge portfolio in direct-to-consumer commerce companies. we also do a lot of, we are starting to do a lot of digital health. new york is a big center for health care. there is a lot of great ideas to simplify health care, give better care to people more directly, bypassing different kind of levels and intermediaries. ininvest in ai, we invest automation in general, we kind of reflect what new york is good at. emily: he also took over binary capitals portfolio, where justin caldbeck was ousted over sexual harassment allegations, the first investor to be exposed in silicon valley's metoo. why did you decide to take over their portfolio? lp's askede of the if we would take over the binary . we have experience in that because we managed the success of two of the softbank early-stage funds, too. we learned that it is complementary to our business. we can attach it to our back end, to all of our compliance and audit, and we can supply a lot of support to these portfolio companies. emily: did y

is that a huge loss for new york? eric: i don't think long-term it is a huge loss for new york.ost opportunity. new york city, like all big urban areas, have to become tech cities. tech is going to replace our traditional centers of wealth such as wall street or real estate. on the capability of bringing 25,000 people across all of these adjacent jobs that go, from one in company, is a big loss. emily: new york has a thriving tech ecosystem but still does not have a $10 billion tech company. maybe that is not the right metric, but when does that happen? eric: i don't know when that will happen, but we do have at least 10 $1 billion companies. emily: i will have to count them to make sure you are right. eric: and many more. successful,ally well-funded companies that are coming up. maybe out of those will come -- emily: what about wework? very controversial company. eric: i think wework is a great business. yes, it might be the very first. i don't know if they will go public this year, maybe next year. they certainly have the potential of being one of those. emily: eric hippeau, a

the chair: the gentleman from ew york is recognized. the gentleman from new york reserves. the gentleman from georgia is recognized. mr. collins: thank you, madam chair. i have great sympathy for what the gentleman from south carolina just spoke of. but also i have even greater sympathy for the fact he could have been avoided and had nothing frankly to do at the end when the f.b.i. under mr. comey admitted there were mistakes made. the f.b.i. could have stopped that instead of letting it happen. they saw problems. they let it go. it could have stopped. this was already in law, madam chair. it could have stopped. and, yes, what i laid out for you is not just simply 20 business days. when you look at the fact that coupled with other restrictions it can can do what we said. i have great sympathy and grief for every loss of life no matter where it comes from, but to simply say this would have fixed it when the f.b.i. and others knew they could have fixed it at that moment and could have went later and got the guns because there was a delay even in the horrific act that happened

attorney with the southern district of new york. now with the new school in new york. and frank figliuzzi, former fbi assistant director for counterintelligence. welcome to you all. this is like a railroad siding. i'm going to put paul manafort on the railroad siding first, and we'll deal with the whitaker matter, which technically happened later in the day. and frank, first to you. what do we do if what the chairman is saying is correct other than i'm not a lawyer but i heard you on tv earlier say that it sure looks like mr. whitaker is now a fact witness. what will that mean? >> we can go a step further and say -- we've been saying for a while, brian, on this show that whitaker is likely a fact witness. i think he may have crossed the line today. he may be in someone's sights as a subject of a possible obstruction or witness tampering case or lying to congress case. and we need to sort out exactly what he said and how it was interpreted. and then i'd go a step further and say it's even more clear tonight that someone has got to be looking at the president of the unit

they came to new york from palermo, sicily. the father came first, just before the johnson read act, which would severely restrict immigration from eastern and southern europe. and his wife would come a few years later. and so she would come after the law would be passed. we know she was undocumented. and we know that they had two children here in new york city, josephine and johnny. when we talk about this family at the museum, our visitors often acknowledge the children's citizenship status. they will say, they were born here, that is a given. they are citizens. but now that there is this challenge to birthright citizenship, the conversation about what that means, that given, is that going to be the case in the future? so really thinking about how statedcident -- this that was set in the reconstruction era that gave african american citizenship status, how that has evolved into an immigration issue today, that is what we are curious about. and so that is why we have invited experts here, and you all here, to be part of the co

district of new york. welcome to you all. chuck, i note your time working for and with robert mueller, and i've sorry that you've become something of a mueller whisperer around here. i also know that marine corps captain mueller is all about chain of command. and sending this to the attorney general was in keeping with the chain of command. the question to you that may require conjecture, why do you think mueller punted, in effect? >> that's a hard question. he is a chain of command guy. as well, brian, the federal regulations that govern the office of special counsel say very clearly that ultimately it's the attorney general who decides what happens to the special counsel's cases. it's crafted so that the special counsel has day-to-day independence but it's the attorney general who decides why did he punt on the question, and berit and i were talking about that before we came on your set. that's a hard thing to know. it might be because you just cannot charge a sitting president and so therefore perhaps -

i know you love new york city.t but they going to move kbt you add two and two together and see what the unintended consequence of this is going to be. >> as a responsible legislator, i know that -- >> hopefully you don't do things that are going to be negative. >> we have to moderate and understand what those are. but we're talking about real estate that is valued at $5 million or more. we're talking about really a handful of people. 5,000 people is the estimate who are going to be impacted by this >> 5,000 that you don't need in new york then. >> we're also looking at foreign nationals who purchase property. russian, chinese, saudis who purchase property in new york that they're using the apartments as security deposits in the sky this is a real estate proposition that should make money on it. >> other cities in the world have done this but those cities that have, look at london, paris, sydney all of those real estate markets fell after this tax. now, there could be other reasons for that for instance, brexit in
