We have a lot of questions about this. how many people were tasked with working with pompeos wife and the stops? how many were paid? how much did this cost? how much is she going to reimburse? it has been days now. the state department still hasnt answered those questions. even though this trip is funded by taxpayers. they just said at the beginning of the trip that this meets all of the rules and regulations that the state department requires. only once our story aired today did they get back t...

They said this didnt preclude congress from getting the information from the special counsel. but what i think is happening is that muellers well aware of this. and what hes doing is filing a report as he goes along and its in the form of his speaking indictments, and i think there will be more of that before the shop is closed. >> speaking of mueller, trump attacks mueller all the time, the special counsel never responds. does the fact that muellers office so rarely speaks, right, they did toni...

So pervasive, they fear that text messaging will alert the chinese authorities and result in further arbitrary detention of loved ones back home. >> so glad you did that report. thank you. thank you for watching. erin burnett outfront starts right now. demanding answers. democrats vowing to investigate the bombshell report that president trump told his fixer to lie under oath. the president saying hes making major announcement about the shutdown. why? why was mike pompeos wife traveling wi...

Essence of what the buzzfeed report was. the headline read, president trump directed his attorney, michael cohen, to lie to congress about the moscow tower project. earlier today, neither the president nor the white house categorically denied the substance of it. by this afternoon, that line had changed. giuliani calling the report categorically false. sarah sanders echoed that line. >> did the president direct michael cohen to lie to congress? >> thats absolutely ridiculous. i think that the pr...

Its not that an investigation has to come to a pre -- >> ben? >> its incredible to me the irresponsibility of members of congress. congressmans castros tweet was -- if the buzzfeed story is true, president trump must resign or be impeached. you going to take that back? no. you want to destroy the president. others that went with him. theyre not going to take it back either. theyre not going to apologize. theyre not going to be adults. congress and the democratic party has become so hateful towar...

Hitting back at michael choen as democrats demand investigations into the buzz feed report theres documentation proving trump told cohen to line under oath. trump tweeting lying to reduce his jail time. watch father-in-law. you might kind of dismiss that except you wouldnt because its not the first time that trump has brought up cohens father-in-law. >> he should give information maybe on his father-in-law because thats the one that people want to look at because where theres that money. thats t...

I think michael cohen will talk about some of the things hes talked to mueller about but other things. he will get asked questions by lawmaker to show what a mad man donald trump is. his strategy is a little odd because you would think that with cohen about to go that he will talk, you would think he would not want to goad him into saying the worst possible things but threatening his father-in-law. his father-in-law is not president or accused of colluding with russia. to say lets look at cohens...

We dont hear from the mueller probe. this is rare. they put out a statement just a moment ago about what they hear in this buzzfeed report. they knock it down in part. now buzzfeed reported that michael cohen the former lawyer told the special counsel that president trump directed him to lie to congress. about a massive business deal he was seeking with moscow. they cited two law enforcement sources investigating the matter. they didnt say they work for the special counsel. but they have corrobo...

White house struggles to craft, were going hold them accountable. >> thank you. as michael cohen prepares to go before congress again, he says this time to tell the truth, the president is now going after cohens family. is this witness intimidation? the white house leaking house speaker nancy pelosi plans to fly commercially to afghanistan. why is sarah sanders saying they didnt do it? they did it. they leaked it to the new york times. president trump accused of pushing a racially charged st...

Thing. she was echoing the sentiment from what we heard from giuliani. now in an extraordinary move, the special counsel spokesman is coming out and essentially saying that there is nothing to back up this buzzfeed report that the president directed michael cohen, his former attorney, to lie to congress and that there are trump organization documents to back it up. again as sarah pointed out, that is extremely rare for the special counsel to do. but also, this story from buzzfeed certainly caugh...
