"national enquirer." when it came to the end of the presidential primary where the last man standing against him was ted cruz, this was the "national enquirer" cover. ted cruz father linked to jfk assassination. thats crazy in the middle of a presidential campaign to see a "national enquirer" trying to help out their favorite candidate for president, putting out something looney tune thing. this was not an unwelcome intrusion into the campaign by this publication. the candidate himself was total...

Unregistered agent of a foreign power. his co-defendant is his long time business partner who the fbi says is linked to russian intelligence and believed by prosecutors to have fled to moscow ahead of him being charged with some of the felony charges that have led to this next trial. running a presidential campaign and committing felonies with your russian speaking partner as recently as this year? that will be a different kind of case. and we dont know if the president has anything to worry abo...

The president described as directing and participating in that criminal scheme. today, the first "vanity fair" and then "wall street journal" reported that david pecker and his chief content officer, a man named dylan howard, they have both now flipped and are cooperating with the special counsels office. pecker is said to have immunity in exchange for his cooperation. david pecker is not a random or prifrt figure in the presidents life. this is probably the presidents greatest ally in building ...

Him a little giggly and distracting. im 45 years old. as far as that means im just 9 years old times five. its funny. his name is pecker. thats funny. when it comes to the pickle that mr. pecker has put the president in, it is sort of worth letting it out. giggle through it. let that happen. acknowledge that its funny. then you do still have to kind of soberly grapple with the fact this guy, mr. pecker, has long been a really central part of donald trumps life. particularly mr. trumps carefully ...

Mr. peckers evidence. i think a lot of people are asking whats in that safe and how do we crack it so we know what else is out there? >> with so many people close to the president talking with prosecutors, not only his former lawyer, michael cohen who obviously is in a different position with regard to prosecutors, with his representatives saying hed be happy to talk to robert mueller, with this report we have cooperation and maybe immunity for mr. pecker, i find myself just as a citizen worried...

He might say them if he ends up -- well, there is a reason that this 12-second clip from the campaign has been circulating online over the last few days. i think it helps to focus the mind when you think about what paul manafort might have to say and how he might say it about donald trump. >> so to be clear, mr. trump has no financial relationships with any russian oligarchs? >> thats what he said. thats what i said. thats obviously what our position is. >> that was how good paul manafort was at...

The time the legal team has to make a decision as to whether theyll appeal, by that time, paul manaforts second trial will already be underway in federal court in washington, d.c. and heres the thing that i think is important for us all to know about that second trial. it is important for us to know about the second trial to anticipate what will be happening in the news over the end of the summer and the fall. i think it is important in terms of the president and his own legal jeopardy and how h...

People in the press, the a.p. and other outlets, we didnt take seriously the a.m.i. as a business and one that was capable of making bad stories about the president go away. and to answer your question, the ownership and all that, theyre owned by a hedge fund out of new jersey. while david pecker is held out as the king of a.m.i., he makes all the decisions. these guys are owned by a company called chatham asset management. it is a hedge fund in chatham, new jersey. that company is close to chri...

Already this week pled guilty to eight felonies in federal court. let me get your reaction. >> the president right now is facing legal liability on multiple fronts and not just criminally, but also civilly. and now tonight this news shows that much of the liability is also pardon proof. and with investigators closing in on his family, on his businesses, on his campaign and his administration officials, the best thing the president could do is just come clean with the american people, to sit down...

Manafort in fact decides to change his mind and start cooperating with prosecutors to lessen his prison time and the pending charges against him. we do not know if the president has anything to worry about. but the manafort case is the one case actually being tried by the special counsels office. the special counsels office has hold to prosecute it southwesterly its own personnel. and the president today and his lawyers stopped just hinting around the idea that the president might pardon paul ma...
