questions about? $130,000 payment that michael cohen made to stormy daniels, that giuliani said the president reimbursed cohen for. so this is distracting a lot of what s going on in the administration and as we ve seen before with president trump, steve bannon, with attorney general jeff sessions the president is not exactly keen on some of his top advisors drawing a lot of headlines and media attention and right now it seems that giuliani is going just that. what do you make of president trump s legal team to announce whether or not he s going to sit down with the special counsel for an interview on the anniversary of robert mueller s appointment? another teaser. trying to build up the hype around that may 17th date. yeah, exactly. stay tuned here in the next few weeks. check back for more information. this is obviously nisomething tt has been a key question. whether or not the president will indeed meet with mueller
member added value member to his outside special counsel. so on top of this yesterday the white house gave no definitive answer after giuliani opened the door to unknown pay utes to women who had affairs with president trump. did michael cohen make other payouts to women for the president? i have no knowledge of that. he made payments for the president. he conducted business for the president. is that possible? are there other women out there who received money from the president to stay quiet? i m not aware of any other ak tifr aktivety but i would refer tow you to giuliani to respond to any of those questions. but you ve been in his circle for a long time now. is that something that came ayosz your desk? again, i m not aware of anything like that but i would refer you to the president s outside counsel. joining us now reporter for
