True. or i absolutely deny it, or make some statement about the underlying charges of the affair. he didnt. he simply referred the questions to his lawyer which may have other legal implications, but i thought from a political standpoint was an interesting moment. >> if youve been following the legal argument, this has been as of a political conversation as much as as a legal conversation. the president is trying to get this back in civil arbitration. stormy daniels is suing in civil court sayin...

But david schwartz the attorney for cohen, said trump was unaware of the settlement agreement. so really is there a legal binding relationship between the trump and the settlement agreement? i dont know if there is any more. >> i know youre coming back to see me soon, katie phang, thank you. president trump may be regretting something he did before taking office, now coming back to haunt him in a big way. s that are developing powerful batteries that make everything from cell phones to rail ca...

In advance for basic procedures what it will cost. we will make that happen. >> how? >> we have have a lot of power. we run medicare, medicaid and obamacare. three of the largest insurance systemses on the face of the planet. >> we spoke to employees and they are unlooking treatments and curious using the human genome and eventually editing a persons dna. >> one letter out of 3 billion. >> thats it. >> wow. >> almost of the kids with this have that same letter that has gone awry. this treatment ...

He actually, basically, said, look, this is what he does. he takes care of things. many of them, the president knows nothing about. is that what lawyers do? >> you know, not on a daily basis, ill tell you that. hasnt been my practice for a lot of years. the fact is, hes basically going to have cohen, i think, fall on the sword and say, i did it on my own, so trump isnt implicated. the fact of the matter, we had a state court action, dealing with a narrow issue of whether or not the signature wou...

Agree either an nda doesnt apply, the confidentiality is gone and this president of the united states has to sit for a deposition and to answer for what hes done. >> well, whats more likely that he has to sit for a deposition the way president clinton had to do in the paula jones case which got him into all that trouble, or the fact that these two other women, stormy daniels and karen mcdougal, get to tell their stories on places like "60 minutes" and in, perhaps, magazine articles, other interv...

On an amendment. probably not legally binding but a expense the mueller investigation will be conclude, unimpeded, messed around with. the federal language they could devise and just saying, we wont pass this. this is very important. chuck schumer and nancy pelosi could also step up. put the republicans on the spot. thats a tough vote for some of the pro trump republicans. >> democrats have put republicans on the spot. republicans are leading the congress. they have the leadership. >> but they c...
