Extremely loyal people. Tonight i will ask Michael Cohens lawyer what else hes got. There is no dispute that donald trump committed a crime. Plus, what does congress do with a potentially compromised president . We should be pushing to postpone the Kavanaugh Hearing. And the other trump world indictment. And duncan, thank you very much right from the beginning. Congresswoman Duncan Hunter misusing Campaign Funds. Good evening from new york. I am chris hayes. Donald trump has gotten caught. It is the president himself that now has been implicated in a criminal conspiracy to help him win the presidency. A conspiracy that doesnt have
to do with russia. And now the president s private business empire, his Family Foundation are in the legal cross hairs and we have no idea what is yet to come or how far it will go. Appearing in Federal Court yesterday to plead guilty to eight felony counts, Michael Cohen fated under oath that he broke Campaign Finance laws in 2016 before the election to cove
Chris Hayes discusses the days top news. Collude and corrupt the american democracy system in the 2016 election which the trump tower meeting was all about. But also, knowledge about the Computer Crime of hacking and whether or not mr. Trump knew ahead of time. Lanny davis will be joining me in just a moment. So stick around. The president s involvement of a federal crime. Despite having been caught, his role. Despite the audio tape we have all heard, the president and cohen planning the mcdougal payment. The president says he didnt know about the hush money until after the facts. Did you know about the payments . Later on, i knew. Later on i knew. But you have to understand ainsley, what he did, and they
lawyer and assistance to tell a story. That is useful, but the legal question here is Michael Flynn pleaded guilty and cooperated and we never heard about it sort of on the outside. Just strange to me, our conversations already happening to mueller. Has Michael Cohen already talked to
things at the same time. we can t turn a blind eye to this president who is destroying this country. this president, the leader of this country, comes to us with a reputation. this is a man who comes with a reputation of not paying his contractors, cheating subcontractors with a fake university, where he cheated students who thought they were going to learn how to become developers. this is a man who has come with the kind of reputation, racism, coding applications for apartments that so they would not have to rent them to african-americans and people of color. this is a man who has demonstrated, in more than several ways who he is. he is a flawed character. i think for us to sit blindly by and pretend we don t have to deal with it, somebody else is going to sit it in our laps, really does not speak to what we re thinking about our
the kind of reputation, racism, coding applications for apartments that so they would not have to rent them to african-americans and people of color. this is a man who has demonstrated, in more than several ways who he is. he is a flawed character. i think for us to sit blindly by and pretend we don t have to deal with it, somebody else is going to sit it in our laps, really does not speak to what we re thinking about our responsibility in the congress of the united states of america. and so i think we can do both. that s what i ve been doing. there are two members of congress republicans have been indicted, chris collins and duncan hunter, early supporters of the president. obviously the president has people around him indicted or pleaded. as democrats take a message about corruption to voters, i want to ask about menendez, a sitting senator from new jersey.
