The end of a barrel. Another quote to the president says he has quote got to be extremely worried, adding quote, who the bleep knows what Michael Cohen did all those years. Adding to the fears about what he knows and if hes about to turn on his long time boss and let it all spill out, cohen has now cut ties with his heel team. The very team that has been by his side through the m long criminal investigation including the raid on his home and office. One reason for this shake up is over money. Cohen apparently running out of it and doesnt want to spend his entire savings on legal fees. Thats confusing though because this is the same man whos been staying at a hotel where suites go for 1,000 a night. Right now, we understand hes in a threeroom suite of some sort. Hes been saying here since at least april 9th. So you can do the math. So thats tens of thousands of dollars possibly since the fbi raided his hoechlt so if money is an issue, well, you get point. Cnn is also learning cohen met
Mueller. Trumps legal teams believes tonight they can challenge any subpoena by the special counsel. In order, no one can force President Trump to testify on obstruction of justice. Why . Well, the the president made it clear today. The inspector generals report find thag the former fbi director jim comey acting in an extraordinary insubordinate way. This means trump was justified in firing him and therefore, the whole special counsel investigation is moot. You have a tremendous animosity. Now heres the good news. I did not wrong. No collusion, no obstruction. The ig report yesterday went a long way to show that and i think that the Mueller Investigation has been totally discredited. Okay. The big problem with this is this trump himself has said clearly that this was not his reason for firing comey. It had nothing to do with being insubordinate. He gave his reason on camera. I said to myself, i said you know, this russia thing with trump and russia is a made up story. Well one person w
Wrote that it says over the past half year i have had the privilege to serve as an informal adviser to the staff of the kremlin in preparation for the presidency of the g20 summit next month where Energy Issues are prominent on the agenda. That is august 2013. Thats yourself calling yourself an informal adviser to the kremlin. You know, informal having some conversations with people. I mean, this is really nothing and just an attempt to distract from the real crimes that are shown in this misleading document. Page was a Foreign Policy adviser to the Trump Campaign and about one month before the 2016 election, the fbi asked a court for permission to surveil him saying it believed, page has been be the subject of targeted recruitment by the russian government and that he had been collaborating and conspiring with them adding there is probable cause that such activities are about to involve violations of the criminal statutes of the United States. This is the first time the government has
Wait in mexico. Cnns White House Reporter Sarah Westwood joining me right now. Weve been hearing about the possibility now for weeks. We know the secretary of state met with the incoming foreign minister in houston. Are they in the final stages . Well, it looks like the Mexican Government has agreed, at least in the short term, that would allow migrants seeking asylum onin the United States t wait on the mexican side of the border. Obviously this would be a significant change which allowed some migrants to wait in the u. S. While their claims are working their way through the court system.

He unveiled an attempted executive action that would require migrants who want the asylum to present themselves at legal ports of entry and would deny them the ability to request asylum in they were caught entering illegally.
