The under line story is this is a historic moment where mueller had drawn a line and the media reported phonetically of this investigation but what about this report in particular caused the special counsels office to break their silence. >> have anyone in the trumps business been interviewed. >> thats what we dont know. i think the clear case, the news value of the buzzfeed report was they were saying the special counsels office its uncovered that michael cohen testified donald trump committed ...

Extraordinary reporting in this story. the famously silent special counsels office speaking tonight, pushing back on the buzzfeed report but in a very narrow way. youre as likely to get a response out of the special counsels office to get attacked by wombats, but we are about to talk to somebody who has actually been on the receiving end of a special counsel comment and he joins us next. stay with us.

Obstruction talking to the witnesses who might be testifying against that person. it obviously looks like obstruction. it looks like witness intimidation, as does many more recent things like -- well, lets look at cohens father-in-law. thats a direct threat to him. its intended to intimidate him against testifying and justifies why michael cohen is saying his family is in danger. >> okay, how about "the washington post" report that muellers statement meant to dispute the whole report put out the...
