Mueller Side News Today

Alex Witt hosts coverage of national and international news, including breaking stories. His son to cancel the meeting. He did not tell the fbi about the meeting. And if anything, he further encouraged and emboldened the russians to hack. Because he went out just about a month and a half after the meeting and said, russia if youre listening which is two years ago from today as you pointed out you would be rewarded for hacking Hillary Clintons emails. Lets go to Kelly Oconnell in new jersey also ...

Point, Michael Cohen had a light bulb go off, and in recent times, tried to behave a little bit better and maybe thats whats reflected in the kinder document thats been filed by the Special Counsel. All right. Thanks so much. Our cnn coverage continues right now. This is cnn breaking news. Im wolf blitzer. We welcome our viewers in the United States and around the world. Were following breaking news. We have just received two major filings involving the former trump lawyer, Michael Cohen. One fr...

Good evening. Im Chris Matthews in washington. Federal prosecutors in new york have accused the president of criminal violation of the federal Campaign Laws. They say trump directed thats the word Michael Cohen to cover up a Campaign Contribution in the form of payments with two women with whom he had sexual relations. This comes from the Southern District of new york, not Robert Mueller, not the socalled 17 democrats the president says are working against him, not the deep state, not from a wit...

A big dud. there are many ways to look at this. but as the hearing approaches were getting all kinds of hard news about it. on the congressional side democrats holding a private mock hearing to prep for a witness proven to be dry, unyielding unshakableable in his appearances before this institution. then theres the mueller side. even the famous little tight-lipped operator has been compelled to reveal some things about his approach. hes being represented and prepped by an old partner in his law ...

Step to open a formal inquiry to make this decision. this is not future presidents. this is a moment where democrats have to stand up and defend the constitution. >> so you hey that all out. on the hearings themselves, are the democrats wrong to put john deans, you know, greatest hits back in the day testimony ahead of say, bob mueller? >> no. look. were continuing to bring, to do what we have to do to get the witnesses before the committee. the conversations with mr. mueller continue. were goin...

The congressional inquiries. we know they were false responses. once his lies are put to testimony, its awfully easy for them to determine who else lied under oath. they simply need to review transcripts, see who else lied, and im betting that bob mueller in his office on a secure whiteboard somewhere has the names of the people who he can already prove lied to congress listed out. and beyond the lie, it also tends to show that there was a conspiracy to lie. because michael cohen circulated his ...

Got the impeachment and became a house vote, that is where the trial takes place and the conviction would have to take place, and so it is a futile effort to empower donald trump for 2020 election, and just as impeachment was gaiagainst bill clinton. you had the chance as we can see mike pence as president of the senate and opening with the prayer. you had a chance to talk to mitt romney today, the newest voice, and former nominee, and says he is is not interested in running again, but boy, the ...

The mueller side of things. you dont think any one of them could possibly be bothered by that? >> i dont because this is the same senate largely that has declined to stand up and put in place a law that would protect the mueller investigation from political meddling. not something that would give mueller free reign but just some legislation to protect him from interference from the white house. and to the extent that any of the republican senators have been willing to stand up for mueller, its f...

Process of re-evaluating it. he sent out a tweet this weekend indicating that interviews are going to be under way this week. our sources tell us this is very fluid and that frankly, president trump really needs to go through this process of going through these names, evaluating the candidates, and determining who is actually willing to take this job in the trump white house at such a perilous time. >> to do interviews, you need candidates. abby phillip, thanks very much. >> now to mueller and h...

Elections are fair. cohen tried to work in the shadows to influence the election and try to do so at the directive of individual one. again, thats donald trump. looking at the mueller side of the cohen filing a little bit closer, we talk a lot about obstruction and how muellers team is looking at whether or not donald trump obstructed justice with this tweet or when he says this, what does that mean or trying to get in touch with the doj. they are still focused on this idea of collusion. whether...
