And so this opens a whole other avenue because the other issue that the trump legal team was fighting was obstruction. this is -- this is different. and so the question is whether or not the question is going to come back to him and ask more questions of him, because if he did know about it and if he was the campaign operative who was involved, who happened to be the candidate, what kind of potential legal problem is he in, and also it speaks to more evidence or -- it gives us more information a...

Mr. cohen in before he reports to prison in march. he said it would be hard to talk to him in prison. he thinks cohen is an important part of the investigation. dont forget, cohen appeared before the house and senate intelligence committees last year. in that testimony we know he lied about the discussions he had about the trump tower moscow project. that is a charge he pleaded guilty to last week. the senators and house members also are interested in talking to him. they want to know what it wa...

"the wall street journal" has even report that had ami ceo david pecker called off the reimbursement deal on the advice of his lawyer worried that it would be viewed as an in-kind campaign contribution. "the journal" also reporting that pecker asked cohen to tear up that reimbursement agreement, but cohen did not do so, and federal agents found it when they raided his office. president trump is, however, on tape discussing that payment with michael cohen. beyond in a spin, there were some odd an...

Now appears, of these payments, the money to stormy daniels, the money to karen mcdougal, was to protect donald trump on the eve of the election from two very embarrassing stories which given the closeness of the election may very well have won the election for donald trump. so figuring out all the cast of characters in -- in these payments will be enormously important for mueller. >> right. >> its got to be done. >> the exact word, against another campaign official. gloria, we also know from am...
