Why is he so certain there would be an acquittal for him? >> well, i wouldnt -- he may be saying that. i dont know that thats necessarily what he believes deep down. you know, when you look at this indictment on paper, if mueller has, and presumably he does, have the evidence to back it up, this is about as simple and straightforward an indictment as you could bring. very heavily grounded in documents, in primary sources. you actually wouldnt need a lot of corroborating testimony from other sour...

Crystal clear that the evidence that they cited is wrong. "buzzfeeds description and characterization of documents and testimony obtained by this office regarding michael cohens congressional testimony are not accurate." so why did millers team takes a highly unusual step of issuing a statement? our chief white house correspondent team says that his office spoke to the team regarding the article, and there was agreement that a significant portion of the buzzfeed story was false. giuliani says th...

Special counsel made it absolutely cleart special statements of the conference office and capitalization of documents and testimony obtaine by this office including that. why did he pick the unusual tea of the statement. john robert says rudy giuliani says his office but to mueller office about the article and there was agreement a portion o the buzzfeed story was false. giuliani says there are no texts , e-mails, or other corroborating documents. why didnt mueller respond to buzz feed when they...

Violation of the law. were talking about a serious felony. what we do know is theres absolutely nothing other than opinions that have been written to say that a sitting president cannot be indicted. what i do know is this president, you all heard it during his campaign said he could stand in the middle of fifth avenue and shoot somebody and not be held accountable or responsible for it. i believe the president is underestimating the american people. we are nation of laws. well see what happens. ...

Mueller that donald trump ordered him to lie under oath to congress about trumps plans to build a tower in moscow. buzzfeed reported mueller had corroborating evidence of cohens claim. the prosecutors office last night took the rare step of publicly disputing parts of buzz fooed reporting though we dont know which parts. trumps favorite media outlet fox news rolled out the boss favorite phrase crying fake news and hoping that questions about buzzfeeds report would somehow take down the entire mu...

However, he has not seen the other corroborating evidence of the texts, e-mails, documents. what does it do to your investigative mind? >> what i picked up on when he was talking was he mentioned that the law enforcement officials hes spoken with were people who had been looking into the trump tower moscow deal before mueller apparently came on the scene which means there is something about that deal itself which has raised some issues for investigators. i think it goes to when michael cohen ple...

In fact the conduct that is alleged in the story would in fact be obstruction and something that would be prosecutable as a crime for supporting perjury. that is a problem for the president going forward. this is a big story if it is in fact true. i imagine that michael cohen has good lawyers and they are not going to put their client out front in this position of testifying before congress without some documentary or other corroborating proof that he may have. we know he has recorded the presid...

Not to, is there anything to correct in the story. >> i cant help you on that, chuck. im just going to say read the story and they have written about their sources and other corroborating evidence, and i cant confirm anything. i have no independent knowledge by the way. mr. cohens conversations with mr. mueller, i did not attend those meetings, so i can just tell you what we came up with last night which is simply a no comment. >> when it is the last time you spoke to him. >> an hour ago. >> wha...

Obstruction of justice potentially, right? >> if this is true, could we see republicans turn on the president? >> i think you will. it will be a slow process though. its not an meeld yacht, ok immediate hunker down and go and deal with this. there are members who are supportive of the president who will stand by him. who believe this is a witch hunt, that this is all made up. they dont believe the cohen narrative. i talked to a couple people in the last 12 hours saying this is a whole lot about ...

Standup guy in order to think this buzz feed reporting is legit. according to the reporting, muellers team had the evidence, the corroborating evidence first, and then presented it to michael cohen. the reporting is that michael cohen then confirmed it in a series of interviews. this is not a classic he said/he said, if you believe the reporting. what it is is a potential game changer for president trump. >> jeff bennett on the white house north lawn. jeff, thanks. i want to bring in pete willi ...
