Point, Michael Cohen had a light bulb go off, and in recent times, tried to behave a little bit better and maybe thats whats reflected in the kinder document thats been filed by the Special Counsel. All right. Thanks so much. Our cnn coverage continues right now. This is cnn breaking news. Im wolf blitzer. We welcome our viewers in the United States and around the world. Were following breaking news. We have just received two major filings involving the former trump lawyer, Michael Cohen. One from the Special Counsel, Robert Mueller, and another from federal prosecutors in new york. And were awaiting another mueller filing pertaining to former Trump Campaign chairman, paul manafort. Theres lots of news thats breaking right now, significant
developments. I quickly want to go to our senior justice correspondent, evan perez. Evan, like all of us, youve been going through these filings. Give our viewers the headlines. What are you findin out . Well, wolf, this is a tale of two documents of
digging in. as you know, president trump effectively directed mcgahn not to show up today. why? they re citing justice department rulings going back for decades that essentially say your advisors current and former to the president have immunity from testifying on capitol hill. so, that is the legal justification for this current move, hallie. but the big picture here. this is part of an intensifying standoff. the white house saying, look, democrats are asking for things that have no legislative purpose and that s why you re continuing to see the white house, essentially, say we re not going to give you these inert views or this information frankly. if you listen to president trump overnight, he was rallying his supporters in pennsylvania. tells you everything you need to know. he was defiant. he sort of took fresh aim at the entire russia investigation and called it treason. not backing down. we ll now listen in to this house judiciary committee
