Katy Tur hosts coverage of national and international news, including breaking stories. Counsel. How much specificity would we get here in seeing a plea deal . Would there be things that are sort of kept from public view or would it be pretty clear what the guts are here . I dont think the first filing i dont think will reveal everything. In other words, i think the first filing, announcing the plea deal and that sort of thing is probably not going to spell out in great detail exactly what Information Cohen has to provide. We may have to await several weeks, several months down the road to find out the full scope of his cooperation and the full breadth of his information. Kristen welker, i think we have you standing by as well. The other aspect of this, we set this up at the top, Michael Cohen so close to donald trump for so long, that famous line where he said he would take a bullet for donald trump.

Right now. Mr. President , this didnt need to be tale of two speeches. Thats not how the Trump White House programmed today. Planning this Campaign Rally in phoenix trying to move the spotlight off afghanistan. A spotlight that tonight is moving somewhere else towards this thunder clap report in the New York Times. We just got it. Let he read you the key parts. Trump relationship with Mitch Mcconnell has official lly curdd into a feud of resentment and hostility. Complicated by the position of mcconnells wife in his trumps cabinet. Hes privately expressed a view to enrage trump that shes not sure trump will be able to salvage his administration after a series of summer crisis.
