Page 3 - Darren Samuelson News Today

Presidents children, his accountant, his long time assistant, his closest allies, have got to be wondering if their names will be on cohens list. we know this much. in public testimony yesterday, cohen did some heavy name-dropping. ivanka trump, don junior, eric, all referenced, or as politico put it, they sustained collateral damage in the cohen hearing. politicos darren samuelson, one of the authors of the article, join us now. your article is an accounting of people closest to the president w...

Again, robert mueller has charged people with lying to the fbi. that is certainly one of the possibilities here beyond just the underlying possible crimes that michael cohen is suggesting. >> we only have a short time left, but in all this name dropping, was there something that sort of said to you, oh, there you go, heres the roadmap for investigators? >> i think investigators have long known what the roadmap was. getting michael cohen saying this publicly certainly amplifies it, has us talking...

The public will actually see when that mueller report is delivered to the justice department. >> just because the government collects information, it doesnt mean the information is accurate. it can be misleading if youre overly transparent about the information the government collects. so i think we need to be cautious about that. when we charge someone, we need to be certain beyond a reasonable doubt. during my tenure on the front lines of law enforcement, if we arent prepared to prove our case...

Donald jr., and ivanka trump will be watching closely. >> darren samuelson, thank you. well be right back. n, thanu well be right back. because with expedia, i saved when i added a hotel to our flight. ♪ so even when she outgrows her costume, well never outgrow the memory of our adventure together. unlock savings when you add select hotels to your existing trip. only when you book with expedia.

Client is not tongialking to th media. that was a slap at people like george pop dopiloapadopoulos. this is something that donald trump has fostered in his environment going all the way back to when he was a real estate developer on the apprentice. this is his mission. this is how he treats a lot of his employees. i think people realize they need to save themselves. >> darren, thank you, have a good weekend. >> thank you. another woman speaking out against r. kelly. her story about meeting the...

Muellers investigation are turning on each other. likening it to a circular firing squad. the special counsel has benefitted from the sniping. darren samuelson is a senior reporter with politico. he filed that report. good friday to you, sir. no i in team anymore. cant call this team trump, huh? >> no, theyve been breaking apart slowly and surely over the last year and a half. obviously starting with michael flynn and rick gates flipping and becoming government witnesses. you know, the longer th...

Fully impact. joining me, politico senior white house reporter darren samuelson. why arent top prosecutors with robert mueller worried about -- or why are they still so confident about their authority? >> well, they had to file a legal brief yesterday in the u.s. court of appeals, the second most important court in the land, in a separate case where they had to tell the judges that matt whitaker -- what the influence of the math whitaker appointment was. they point-blank said, were able to conti...

Recommend that matthew whitaker recuse himself and what he does with that. darren and harry, in the meantime, gentlemen, thank you very much. >> thank you. >> thanks, katy. and massachusetts is making history right now with the only two shops on the east coast selling marijuana for personal use. these are live pictures of folks lined up. i wonder how they feel about being on national television lining up to go into a pot store. hey, its legal. no big deal. stay with us. hey there people eligib...

President. other folks will say those people are deluding themselves. but i talked to one person today who said it is interesting that nobody -- absolutely nobody -- says theres no way that michael cohen did nothing wrong. eli. >> yeah, thats right. i mean the analogy that james comey decided to go with was mob boss. you have even the people who are in the presidents circle who are trying to give him advice to protect him, they arent bothering with any pretense that the president and michael coh...

Donald trump tweets, thats fodder for mueller as well. donald trumps tweets going back years really could become questions that bob mueller might use to premise his questions ultimately when he does get donald trump, whether under oath or in a voluntary interview. >> i read in your article that theres also a level of risk for bob mueller pursuing this. what is that, darren? >> well, bob mueller has been threatened to be fired by donald trump. donald trump again with one tweet can really set off ...
