About,if you were making something up, why not go for broke and say, you heard them talk about the meeting and so he was restrained in certain ways. those are things consistent with truth telling. hes a damaged witness and convicted of perjury before congress but i think it was a good day for him on the whole. >> and evan, as i just played that sound bite, when he said ten briefings in total and saying that those were to ivanka and don jr. and what is the significance of that in the broader cont...

Look, there were republicans constantly and every time they came up except for maybe one exception they said that he was a liar and a fraudster and a felon and therefore no one should pay attention to what he said and at one moment that got rather heated. let me kpla this exchange with congressman jordan. >> his remorse is nonexistent. he just debated a member of congress saying i really didnt do anything wrong with the false bank records that im going to prison for. >> that is not whey said. >>...

But thats not stopping president trump, of course, from offering his verdict today. >> and everybody knows its a hoax. its one of the greatest hoaxes ever perpetrated on this country so i look forward to seeing the report. if its an honest report, it will say that. if its not an honest report, it wont. >> evan is outfront for us live. this filing could be very important. >> it really could, and one of the things were looking for is andrew weissmann, the lead prosecutor in the manafort case to la...

So he could explain for himself why she should not change his requirements right now, hes out on bail, or change the requirements around his gag order. she put a pretty lenient gag order on roger stone. his attorneys are not allowed to talk about the case, but the only restriction hes been under is he cannot talk about the case in or around the courthouse. that could change in court. she could decide she wants a harsher gag order for roger stone, she could decide she wants to place a fine on him...

I do think something is going to have to come out, and to evans point, more than barr wants to come out is probably going to end upcoming o kocoming out. >> its hard to see how anything he puts out will be sufficient for the democrats. theyre going to want more. this is a major piece of why they took control of the house. there are, what, 10,000 democrats running for president right now. they know that the number one  thing all democratic voters want is the person who can beat president trump. ...

Go there. but theyre saying -- the prosecutors, don, are making the point that manafort shouldnt get any credit for or any break because of his age. they say that he has acted for a decade like he was above the law and that they should essentially throw the book at him. >> they didnt really know how to define the sort of activities theyre claiming hes guilty of. thank you, evan. i appreciate it. have a great weekend. joining me now is congressman eric swalwell, a member of the house intelligence...

Ukraine. special counsel says that he is a russian spy. the defense says, well, you know, he provided information to the u.s. government through diplomats in kiev. theyre trying to make him out to be as if he is a double agent. the judge says it doesnt matter. this goes to the heart of the investigation of the special counsel. she says that essentially, the importance is that he ties the russian government to the trump campaign. this is why lying about him is so key to this investigation. >> eva...

Is. its a lot of time. >> its a lot of time. they had two ways out of this after that conviction. the money here automatically ratchets up the high amounts following the recommendation. will be a life sentence for him. the age factor, as evan was pointing out, they think that doesnt matter. i agree with that. unlike with violent crime, age does not diminish the chances of recidivism. worse, he sounds like a recidivist. he continued to do improper things during the pendency of the case. they have...

Said roger stone will be testifying at his own trial. there is no question he will take the stand and if he testifies he could be cross examined about any public statement he has made. it goes to the point she was saying saying you are generating cross-examination material every time you talk about your own case. roger stones answer is so what? i want to talk. but thats what it means that its for his own good. >> i said wow when you said he would testify. now that i think about it of course he w...
