Anderson Cooper takes viewers beyond the headlines with in-depth reporting and investigations.
that s what rudy giuliani said today. he wasn t arguing about that statement from michael cohen, who is alleging that president trump did know about that meeting before it occurred. rudy giuliani only said that he could state for the record that president trump did not attend that meeting with those russian officials, which is not something that was in question in the first place. it was whether or not president trump knew about it, which is something that his aides and president trump himself have denied for months now, including that president trump said he just found out about it in july of 2017, a year after it happened. and donald trump jr. testified in front of lawmakers that his father did not know about it before. so it would be increasingly problematic. that is the question now, anderson. it is essentially the president s word versus michael cohen s. but the white house does not s
we now have proof. bruce ohr likely funneled the dossier to the fbi, a document, he knew was op research bought and paid for by the political party in an election year. remember just yesterday on this program, house intel committee chairman devin nunes revealed exculpatory evidence was completely omitted from the fbi fisa application against carter page. watch this. there is exculpatory evidence that we have seen of classified documents that need to be declassified. these were not tucker: : exculpatory in what way? that the judge should have been presented with evidence that the doj had? this is obama s justice department, part of obama s branch, literally using your

count all of the regulations and laws that have been violated here. not only did communist confederates that he a new was a fake document, the dossier, that was being pushed by the ohr s a. they used it anyway as an excuse to try to destroy tromp, and damage candidacy, remove him from office after elected. in so doing, they violated fbi regulations and, importantly, they perpetrated a fraud on the fisa court. that is abuse of power, which is a felony. that is also perjury, because f they swore to the veracity of the document when they presented it to the court. and a cover up since then, that is obstruction of justice. there are a variety of crimes. i lay them all out in the book. jeanine: you do it well. sarah, i will go back to you. christopher steele, who is the spy, you got information from

with the president. the white house is scheduled to hold a daily briefing any minute now. we ll bring you that live when sarah huckabee sanders begins taking reporter questions. let s go right to the new york times michael schmidt. he joins me now by phone. michael, great job as always. just walk me through what you and the times have learned. last summer has muller was building his cases against flynn and manafort, dowd went to their lawyers and broached the idea of a pardon with them. dowd has told people that he believes the case, particularly against flynn, is very flimsy. the president has long thought it was not a real case. and that there s no reason for these guys to plead as they should, you know that they did nothing wrong. now, the question is, is that was dowd speaking for the president? people that know dowd find it hard to believe he would go out and free-lance on something such as important as this subject. it raises the questions about whether the presid
Is a former criminal defense attorney, and what he will tell you is if your client has neither the law on their side nor the facts on their side, the only strategy left to you is to attack the system itself, to attack the entire thing, and i think what we should expect from trump during this trial and any of the other trials that proceed is exactly that behavior, and you just alluded to how he did it to muller, and he did it to comey. when the facts of the law are not on one s side, you attack the system, and there is a very frightening precedent for that to your question about what the future holds. roughly 100 years ago, kind of almost to the week, another demagogue who had attempted to overthrow their government in 1923 in munich was put on trial for that attempted insurrection, and that demagogue used that trial to put the entire national government on trial and sow doubt in the government, and that doubt they sowed later led
