Whether trump knew beforehand, there are intimations that trump new beforehand about the trump tower meeting. thats vital because that could be another kind of criminal conspiracy and were getting very close to the issue of treason there. if youre cooperating with a foreign government to undermine our elections, this is very serious stuff. >> which is why, barbara, a lot of people think the russia stuff is still going to be more interesting than payoffs to the two women. the issue here, though, ...

But the presidents own fate is a real front burner issue now because of what just happened with cohen and manafort. lets start with manafort. on manafort, you know by now the basics. manafort was convicted on eight felony counts. the jury in the manafort case was not able to reach a verdict on the other ten felony counts that manafort was facing. they didnt find him not guilty on those other ten charges. they just couldnt come to a decision. that gives the prosecution and the defense both some o...

Including stormy daniels taking the case in another dimension. we have the president potentially, the president of the united states potentially implicated in a federal crime. wolf, it does not get more serious or more troubling than that. i think it was interesting that the president talked about that as he arrived in west virginia, talked about the manafort case. did not talk about the michael cohen case. the michael cohen case potentially has the president immediately right now in very deep l...

On fox and told sean hannity that he did know. theres a lot of confusion about that. what im talking about with these other things, michael cohen -- this does not preclude him from telling robert mueller as he said six weeks ago, he might. not that hes a credible witness in every case here. but that the president was aware of the trump tower meeting before it took place. so just because hes not making a soup to nuts agreement that gets him out of prison time doesnt mean that in some way the over...

Proceeding will begin 30 minutes from now and well have live coverage from lower manhattan. lets go to a.b. stoddard at real clear politics. your take on this, a.b. >> well, i agree with much of what john roberts is reporting except that in assessing how this is potentially linked and connected to president trump, well have to hear what he actually pleads guilty to today. he obviously is in trouble for some financial crimes. if theres campaign finance violations that have to do with stormy danie...

Live. >> shep, the wording of the letter that the jury sent the judge is somewhat vague. its not clear that they cannot come to a consensus on one of the 18 charges or if they cant come to a consensus on any of the 18 charges. >> are you dead locked on every count or one count? >> we dont know. >> today i have spoken to someone that saw the note from the jury. they said it was edited. a word was crossed out. so the regional question from the jury is what happens if we cant come to an agreement o...

Effort involving dozens of officials from local departments all the way up to the fbi. they search nearby ponds, farms and homes and interviewed hundreds of people were told. mollys father and mollys boyfriend talked with us here on fox news many times pleading for anybody with any information to come forward. investigators set up a couple of -- scheduled to give a news conference matter at 5:00 eastern time, so less than 1 1/2 hours from now. matt finn has been covering the case and hes live ou...

He has stated publicly that the special counsel is not interested in manaforts alleged crimes. they are only interested in squeezing him in order to get him to flip into either sing or compose. those are words used by judge ellis against the president. >> sean: so well said. >> medallions, which is medallions have to do with the scope of the special investigation? they are investigating him in the southern district of new york but they are clearly cooperating with the special counsel. the goal o...

Going to plead guilty but theres no cooperation agreement. theyve been hoping for that, but there isnt one. what does that say in the bigger picture for the mueller investigation regarding the president, if anything? >> that litany you just laid out is correct. what it doesnt give the mueller investigation is any information mr. cohen has specifically about the payments to those women. not so much the taxi medallions. that doesnt interest mr. mueller. but certainly the women, the money paid for ...
