>> sandra: thank you. we want to go to catherine herridge. she has some color in the area in toronto where this is happening. what can you tell us with what you are seeing on the scene? >> i grew up in toronto. i can give you more context on this area of the city. young street is the main thoroughfare that runs north/south. begins at lake ontario and is one of the longest streets in canada, running over 70 miles. and this avenue is one of the main arteries that runs east and west. and this is a ...

>> thats right. so, again, just for people at home who are not familiar with the city or at least this part of toronto. just imagine your own home town. the major artery for a business north/south and then one of the major arteries east/west. couple with that the subway system, the transit system also has a major leave off point there as well. as sandra was pointing out, it was 1:30 p.m., so lunch, people are going back to work. its not only a very large business area, but its also a heavily, he...

What, six minute befores 2 p.m. in the afternoon toronto time, catherine, on a monday afternoon. aside from the fact that this has happened, large cordoned areas dont appear to have happened. >> right. well, i cant speak to the g-7 element, but i can speak to, again, this section of the city. its a high traffic, high density business area, as well as a residential area with condos. this is all going down at a time of day when theres mack mum traffic. this is near one of the major transit hubs on...

Thanks for joining us. im maria bartiromo in for neil cavuto. catherine herridge is tracking the story and in washington with the latest. good afternoon. >> thank you. the incident happened at 1:30 eastern and this is a very heavily trafficked, dense, busy sector of toronto. yonge street is the main artery that runs north and south and the east west artery that traverses young street. this is not only sort of a big center, its also residential area with a lot of condos and also where they have o...

I mean what more could there be. >> who knows. >> there was something that came to mind today when i was thinking about these stories. it was that michael cohen also knows a lot about the condos with trump. and he has owned a few. what kind of deals has he made, with whom has he made these deals because there was talk about how money was moved around with the russians under his apartments. that could be another issue that has absolutely nothing to do with the mueller investigation but could cert...

Personal attorney. is this what he should be -- he, the president, should be more worried about? >> well, i think everybody thinks this is the more serious investigation. but i dont think that you can necessarily separate the two. because some of the allegations -- and they are just that, allegations and suspicion -- is that the president during some of his bankruptcies, during some of his financial difficulties had trouble getting financing for his properties and for his deals, and a lot of con...

Deals. a lot of condos got sold to a lot of people from russia and russian backers in ukraine and so some of that material might in fact be in mr. cohens documents. so the two might actually end up coming together. its always safe to say in washington follow the money. >> and there are reports that stormy daniels first attorney is now cooperating with investigators. >> i think what we see is that michael cohen got attorneys for both and they both had the same attorney and they apparently didnt h...
