Different position. hes in a position where he has to deal with a special prosecutor breathing down his administrations neck. >> a.b., you were making the point that the president has used untruths before and it doesnt seem to matter. but at some point people tire of it. something happened with laura ingraham, conservative commentator on fox news. she was pointing out that politically this is bad. and so lets listen -- this is on the same network where rudy giuliani just told her colleague, sean...

I was going to fire comey. and, in fact, i said to myself, i said, you know, this russia thing with trump and russia is a made-up is story. >> reporter: giuliani is insisting when he repaid cohen, there was not a campaign finance violation. legal experts will tell you its not that simple. candidates are allowed to contribute a limited amount of money to their own campaigns, but it would have to be exposed to the federal elections commission. you have to also wonder is there a reason why giuliani...

Investigation and perhaps that be more fair. it is odd to think he would want the same treatment as hillary clinton. hillary clinton was first told the investigation ended. when it reopened it triggered a responsibility for comey because he previously made the statement about whether she was a target to then retrigger a moment to say she now again is so. giuliani has to be careful what he wishes for. if that was the basis for why trump decided to fire couply, it would have been odd itself. what ...

He wasnt a target. >> presumably he wanted him to say it publicly. this is so ridiculous. because what the president has said himself about why he fired comey and what we have in meetings is described. i think one of the most outrageous parts of the comey book is these interactions with the president. hes facing someone who is the fbi director who has a 10-year term and has that time frame is so that he is independent of political gyrations in your system. here is the president saying, well, ess...

Wasnt on the same page. hannity thought he was talking about a totally different deal. they come back and say lets just get it straight what you were talking about because i had it wrong. >> they were not only not on the same page, they werent even reading the same book. hannity was saying i have to give you a friendly atmosphere. giuliani did not think it through. if he had, he he would realize he would put his client into greater legal jeopardy. at least until before last night. he at least ca...

Are the president will not sit down with mueller and muellers team has rejected submitting written answers to their questions. >> we will insist they are going to have to treat him the same way as clinton. two is and a half hours, we end. we walk out. give us your questions in advance. >> reporter: the white house announcing another lawyer is leaving. ty cobb leaving weeks after dowd. and flood is joining the team. a source tells cnn that cobb has been clashing with the president in recent weeks...

They could put this out in advance of the summit. we heard from the son of tony kim. he said hes been given no indication of any release but he and other family members remain hope. ful. >> thank you very much for the reporting. so is rudy giuliani is laying out the conditions for a potential interview with president trump and robert muellers investigators or robert mueller. so what are those conditions? we discuss all that next. people confuse nice and kind. but theyre different. its nice to re...

Different situation. >> which is why he sounds why he went in with the intention of breaking that news there. >> if rudy giuliani went in for that reason, he would have communicated it to hannity. he is not going to have it be botched in the givy. to a lawyer, one of the things we were talking about, we think about this differently than reporters are going to think about it. to me im thinking about, well, we know that mueller said supposedly -- we dont know anything. but we heard he told the law...

To have to explain is it. >> rudy giuliani did explain it. he said when he discovered that donald trump was paying michael cohen $35,000 a month as a retainer, basically rudy giuliani said aha, thats the repayment. he figured out this sort of legal excuse for why you would pay somebody that for little to no work. and thats where he sees, oh, i see, it was for things like this. carrie, my question to you, do you agree with laura that this does expose the president to more legal jeopardy, or in ju...

Michael, because to give alisyn more of a pat on the back than e was given herself there a second ago, shed ask the follow-up questions and he may tell the truth, he may not. >> sure. they did. i dont mean to throw "the new york times" under the bus. i just mean that he can get away with having that kind of inconsistency with journalists. >> and thats why -- if i were counsel for the president, you guys are far superior legal minds, i dont like these questions. i dont like these questions, micha...
