Trump. >> reporter: well, tonight may have gone well but tomorrow theres more chance for possible controversy as president trump is set to meet with outgoing prime minister theresa may. hes been openly critical of her and her handling of brexit so who knows what tomorrow will bring. >> tomorrow of course going to be a very different day. the former director of the nixon presidential library and now nyu professor joins me. tomorrows interview a very different day. the mayor of london you have thi...

Abilities back, so, this is -- this is to say, lets meet again next year and see if im better. if im not, and i can still have a conversation, thats good enough. and i want to see. i want to see for other people and i want to see for me and see where i am. i was a little scared of talking and even my neurologist said, no, this will bring a lot of awareness, because no one has the energy to talk when theyre in a flareup. but i do. because i love a camera. >> reporter: you got a date, ill see you ...

Two. and so theres an amount of projection to this. but i also saw in that interview a continued almost reliance as well on the media, showing that even as he with one hand taunts reporters like maggie and specifically maggie on twitter, that just as easily and just as quickly hes willing to sit down and go into a room and talk nicely to them and play nicely. but in a certain sense its all kind of just a game for him. i think a lot of reporters who covered his campaign also felt like that too. i...

>> to me that was actually one of the most telling parts of the interview, nicolle, because "the new york times" is his hometown paper they should essentially cut him a break and give him some positive press, that that reflected, despite his earlier comments, a fundamental misunderstanding of the what the role of the free press is, which is to hold power to account and he sits in the ultimate position of power. that it is to shine a light on cronyism and corruption. you didnt hear any words like...

Wildly wrong. he actually -- the dog caught the bus and i just wonder, you know, he can go to his country clubs over the next four years and hes the 45th president of the united states. i wonder if his heart isnt in it, if he wasnt expecting to win in the first place, why does he sit around for eight years and continue to put himself in greater legal jeopardy? >> yeah, and listening to the conversation that -- and this is true, the job isnt fun. its not supposed to be fun. its supposed to be an ...

His home life. as we are dealing with staff shakeups and as rick said north korea, not to have a stable home life is also probably very disturbing when you think about the president of the united states. >> absolutely. paul butler, lets talk about what could potentially be lasting from a legal perspective here. josh earlier mentioned this question about evidence, text messages, receipts, they show in this interview a fedex receipt that shows that they sent materials to michael cohen in his offic...

Lasting from a legal perspective here. josh earlier mentioned this question about evidence, text messages, receipts, they show in this interview a fedex receipt that shows that they sent materials to michael cohen in his official capacity at trump organization. at the same time, we have not seen this evidence that is apparently squashed by this non-disclosure agreement. >> yeah. we have had spanking, sex, lies, possible videotape. this story is good but its not as good as the russian investigati...

Investigate. they like wise have subpoena power. it looks pretty obvious this was hush money payment given the timing, given the reporting that ms. daniels was talking to major media outlets. >> she was negotiating with media outlets about appearing and given an interview a view years prior to in touch magazine with great detail about the alleged affair. does it matter if donald trump knew about the money? if michael cohen went and did this without trumps knowledge, does that take away any conce...

46 of them. out of blue in warning all on one day this week here comes 17 replacements. the justice department explained all of the appointments all had to happen on wednesday all at once for a very specific reason. this is from their press release, quote. some of those acting united states attorney also have served the maximum amount of time permitted under the vacancy reform act, 300 days. so that explains the sudden rush of 17 new prosecutors. that deadline arrived. they announced the 17 new ...

Reporting. i asked a friend of the president, you just played a little bit of our interview a second ago, about this particular passage and about the president apparently according to wolff being unable to recognize friends at mar-a-lago over the holiday break. he says the president oftentimes likes to repeat things for dramatic or theatrical effect. he also says the president recognized him on new years eve at mar-a-lago several times. no questions about the presidents mental fitness. in this b...
