is going to bring charges against the president is forget about the acting attorney general, i think in the past 24 hours there's been too much focus on him. there's rod rosenstein who will weigh in on this. there will be questions to any attorney general in the nominee in the senate, what do you think about these charges. there will be what a grand jury thinks about this. they are independent of the department of justice, and there could be a state jurisdiction that weighs in here. i think the real question is not whether the president did something wrong, it is whether somebody will do something about it. >> abby, you cover the white house for us. as you well know, the president has repeatedly denied any knowledge of any payments to karen mcdougal or stormy daniels. >> right, and that's the other part of this, is the fact that this is all exposing a long-running lie from the president and the people who work for him who have reinforced this lie over many, many months. it is becoming very clear now that virtually everything that the president has said about the series of events surrounding the hush-money payments has been untrue, and, you know, interestingly enough it doesn't seem to have had a huge effect.
