Mueller Document News Today

Elliptical statements from -- >> thats the mueller document. >> right. but they stand in. and also, sdny, you know, in terms of the three crimes you set out. but what underlies them is seven -- is dozens of hours of detailed conversation from cohen, so we now know he was sitting there giving chapter and verse not just about his own involvement, not just some of his own financial high jinx, the very crimes that clearly the president was involved in. the stormy -- the campaign finance crimes. and ...

Convinced. but i think that youre seeing that more and more. so, yes, you know, theres no -- i know that im sure that many conservatives, many republicans would say that weve got a partisan grudge, that we want to go after the president. thats not the case at all. folks are very reluctant to go down this path and are sobered by it. but at the same time you cant ignore the evidence. >> congressman, good to see you tonight. congressman joaquin castro of texas, thank you for being here. >> thank yo...

Promising to get the russian government to clear the way for trump tower moscow in exchange for political and business considerations. synergy. theres also a footnote in which cohen admits he lied when he said he had never talked to trump about trying to set up a meeting with putin. "the defendant admitted this account was false and that he had in fact conferred with individual one about contacting the russian government before reaching out to gauge russias interest in such a meeting." but im no...

>> it reads like good cop, bad cop. the southern district of new york is giving its reasons for why theyre not recommending a 5k1 letter for mr. cohen, saying its not a good guy, hes done bad things and they walk through it with great care. i think the key one is the campaign finance violation that i know you want to talk about later. and then -- but they say, listen, were not so to speak throwing the book at him because he is actually cooperating with robert mueller and then robert mueller weig...

Remains with us. thank you guys. make sense of this, ken. weve talked about michael cohen and two of the three reports but this ones juicy and interesting. what does it tell us that we didnt know? i wish i could make sense of it, ali. its a strange predicament paul manafort has himself in. he lied, according to this document, about things that were provable. either that or he didnt realize, perhaps -- some of these things hes said to have lied about, including interactions with this guy kilimnik...

Finance? >> yes, this is important. >> its really important. while many americans who desired a particular outcome in the election knocked on doors, toiled at phone banks or found any number of other legal ways to make their voices heard, cohen sought to influence the election from the shadows. a lot of people are overwhelmed with all this information. why should we care? we should care because we do want free and fair elections in our democratic process. this document is speaking potentially on...

Were contacting the campaign. and i believe, as i read the documents, that michael cohen discussed that november approach by the russians with donald trump. or maybe it was the u.n. but trump has been advised about these -- from the russians. we know hes part of this. >> thats the thing. harry litman, thats the thing that comes out as you parse these pages. if you thought that michael cohen was a shady businessman, youre pretty clear on that from these documents. if you thought that paul manafor...

Elie mystal, executive editor for "above the law," and michelle goldberg. a little earlier i had a conversation with texas congressman joaquin castro. i was actually surprised by his answer. he said at some point while no member of congress gets elected to impeach a president, its complicated, its not what they want to, do you cant keep denying this sort of information. and in this document it talks about the fact that the president may have conspired with michael cohen to commit a felony that i...

Russia investigation. we have heard from the president over and over again, i think we heard it from sarah sanders tonight, that the things paul manafort has been prosecuted for have nothing to do with the president. all about his business before he came to work for the president. we found out tonight that is absolutely not true. >> im looking at this document. and the redactions, this number one, the interactions with kilimnik, this whole thing is redacted. its almost impossible, i dont know, k...
