the documents that we have obtained, and really paints a more complicated picture of peter strzok s role and maybe some democrats see this as a way to undercut the republican narrative that peter strzok was out to get hillary clinton, out to get donald trump, was going easy on hillary clinton and that this is suggestive that the mueller investigation too tainted with bias, all shows there are a lot more that these investigators are digging through to try to understand his role and others role as part of this investigation, guys. manu raju on capitol hill, thank you so much. the president set to leave the white house shortly. any moment. reporters will be there to ask him questions. will he answer them? the breaking news, cnn reporting that the president wants this republican memo released because he thinks it discredits the mueller investigation. will he say that out loud? stay with us. i m never gonna be able to sleep with this cold.
there has to be experts go through it, that would be if there needs to be anything to be redacted, and then the next step is let the public have access to it. reporter: so one other piece of news, i asked him about jared kushner, also at that trump tower meeting, the committee wanted to interview, the committee will not interview jared kushner. according to grassley, kushner is spooked by the release of the separate transcript by dianne feinstein of that fusion gps, opposition research firm. they did not like the way it was released. as a result, kushner has not agreed to come to the committee and grassley says they will not interview him. so at least we won t see what jared kushner said, but we ll get a sense of what donald trump jr. said to the committee. manu raju on capitol hill, thank you so much. now straight to ambassador to the u.n. nikki haley speaking at the u.n. and when he made that decision, he went to jerusalem
c-o-h-e-n, michael cohen is suing fusion gps, which is behind the dossier as well as buzz fe buzzfeed news for publishing the entire dossier a year ago. i ve talked to some legal experts. this could be a risky move for michael cohen. reporter: no question. he presumably would have to sit for a deposition and his wife perhaps would also have to agree to do that. the standard for evidentiary standard in the discovery process is pretty low, jake. that means a whole range of documents could presumably be requested from both sides as they investigate this further. of course he would be the closest person to the president to fight this in in the legal system, fight the dossier in the legal system. we just don t know what would come out, and clearly that s got a lot of people interested about what may emerge from these lawsuits going forward, jake. all right. manu raju on capitol hill. thanks so much. don t go anywhere. we have lots more to talk about, including the president bringing u
president trump was involved in some of those discussions about that initial response on air force one, jake, but this is another reason why investigators do want to speak with hope hicks about what we shows about how the how this trump tower meeting and the initial response, yak. manu raju on capitol hill. let s bring back my kpanl right now. the initial statement that came from donald trump jr. that was written apparently with the help of hope hicks and the president was not true. it was deceptive. it talked about how the meeting was about russian adoptions and that sort of thing. but that s actually not a crime to lie to the public or to lie to the press. how significant do you think this is? well, i mean, i think at the very least shows that there were some, you know, back curtain deliberations that took place once this meeting was known about obviously there was some scrambling behind the scenes. on manu s note on the flynn reporting, all of this sort of gets to motivation,
i think as those stories have come out and, you know, as our reporters have been doing more reporting on what is the status of the investigation, the question has been are some of these mistakes, were they rookie mistakes or was there actual motivation? with flynn what is really significant is that there was potential for personal gain as manu was getting at that, you know, when there is a motivation there for you to personally enrich yourself, that is very different than someone acting on behalf of a candidate or on behalf of someone just because they felt like that was the right thing to do politically. interesting. all right everyone stick around. we re going to talk to a member of the senate judiciary committee who is eager to also talk to donald trump jr., senator chris coons. stay with us. lower premiums? extra benefits? it s open enrollment. time to open the laptop. .and compare medicare health plans. why? because plans change, so can your health needs. so, be open-minded. loo
