This. provacative stuff, very provacative timing and a provacative source. joining us now is emily jane fox of "vanity fair" who reported this. this is an uncomfortable story. hearing them, these are incredibly charged and loaded and frankly terrible things to hear someone alleging that our president have said in the past. >> i dont know why i should believe cohens assertions to these things. he has previously insisted in public that donald trump is not a racist and he backed him up on racism is...

Military experience back up the notion that someone throwing a rock at our incredibly well-trained and well-disciplined troops should be shot. to believe that is a good strategy and a necessary one is probably to believe the president when he calls this an invasion. its probably to believe its the president when he says that unknown middle easterners are part of the caravan or suggest i.c.e. members are. only in the next breath, he said he had no proof of that. to believe that is pretty big asse...

Florida. billionaire financier, george soros. democratic congresswoman, maxine waters on capitol hill. and, of course, this device sent to cnns new york headquarters and addressed to former obama cia director, john brennan, care of cnn. minutes ago, the time warner center where cnn is located was finally cleared by law enforcement and reopened. it is early yet in this investigation. no doubt we will learn more details and perhaps assertions made by law enforcement at this hour will be ultimately...

Here on cnn, cnns citizen political forum, he said this about the investigation. here it is. >> were getting facts in from multiple places and then once those facts come in the secretary of state will work with our national security team to help us determine what we want to believe and what we think is credible and what we think is not credible. >> so as i mentioned, director, president trump said he believes that khashoggis death was a plot gone awry. does it seem that they have their eyes wide...

I think both parties can agree on that. >> thank you, bill. i really appreciate it. >> joining me right now is former republican congressman david jolly. so you have -- you have the president -- you have what were talking about, the caravan, and you have fact challenged assertions coming from the president when it comes to the caravan. you also have fact-challenged assertions when it comes to the what the president is talking about on a lot of other issues right now when it comes to things he ca...

Elastic evidentiary threshold that this administration and this president exhibits. sometimes on flimsy or no evidence whatsoever well get these bald assertions which are false. yet in other cases we seem to require very high evidentiary bar and we have to have all kinds of investigations, all kinds of fact finding before well reach a conclusion, where i think frankly its pretty obvious here what happened. and i dont know why were dawdling on this other than we just dont want to condemn this adm...

Khashoggi was killed accidentally. president erdogan claims the disconnected security cameras the day of his appointment at the saudi consulate in istanbul. the turkish president said any attempt to cover up what happened is the insult to the conscious of humanity. listen to mike pence. the saudis say one thing, the turks say another and the vice president insists the united states wants the truth. >> the word from president erdogan this morning that this brutal murder was premeditated, preplann...

Odds with each other. are we going to see top officials diverge from where the president is? pence is the first we are seeing of that. >> both the turks and the saudis have been playing a risky game here. the challenge for the turks was going to be they made strong assertions early on about the evidence they had, claiming it was iron-clad. they have to show thats actually the case or else it is going to look like they had an ax to grind. for the saudis, it hub puzzling they make such easily fals...

Team were inspecting forests near istanbul and northwest of the country. erdogan makes no mention today of what is reported to be an audio recording of jamal khashoggis murder that the turks apparently, according to these reports, have in their possession. its also a recording that the secretary of state has repeatedly denied having heard when he was in turkey last week or having seen a transcript of that. also vice president mike pence says the united states is reviewing all this information wi...

Khashoggi. turkish president erdogan formally challenged saudi arabias official version of events. he called the journalists death premeditated. vice president pence appeared to endorse that earlier today. >> the word from president erdogan this morning, that this brutal murder was premeditated, preplanned days in advance flies in the face of earlier assertions that had been made by the saudi regime. again, it underscores the determination of our administration to find out what happened here. >>...
