Then theres the awkward leaving with your box of framed pictures photo. but let me go to chuck and joyce because everything i know about obstruction of justice i learned from the two of you. i understand it all centers around what the suspects intent was. and i wonder -- kristen reported on some public reporting about what kelly witnessed and something that we know is a known flashpoint in the obstruction of justice investigation that the president wanted to fire the man running the investigatio...

And the manafort trial, which is the legal proceeding that honestly has the least to do with him, what will happen when this woodward book comes out and the mueller investigation really starts coming to a head? >> well, thats right. i mean, president trump, donald trump, cornered, is clearly when he lashes out the most. it appears that some of this frenetic action and tweeting is because he feels a sense of increasing besiegement or whatever. that bob woodward book is coming out, i believe on se...

Frenetic action and tweeting is because he feels a sense of increasing besiegement or whatever. that bob woodward book is coming out, i believe on september 11th, so just in a few weeks time. and remember his very, very strong response to the allegations contained in the michael wolff book "fire and fury" at the beginning of this year. michael wolff is nothing like the journalist that bob woodward is. knowing bob well, i for one suspect that there will be a lot of original reporting and eyebrow-...

>> laura: cheryl mills, close personal advisor and attorney. >> to other attorneys. then the witness. i believe theres a fifth one, the i.t. director who set up the email system. >> laura: huma abedin was never offered immunity? not able to just send documents to another computer? classified, secret documents? >> there was a time when huma abedin was under investigation for time sheet fraud. she was charging hours for the government. nothing happened there. thats why the republicans have these c...

Announcement based on an interview with somebody whose story has been out there, but this was the first time she was talking on television, yet, jeff is reporting what you intimated yesterday. >> dont think that was the only reason, but that was an added benefit. john bolton, remember, he was -- john bolton was public about this. he didnt expect to be offered the job when he was. he didnt hear anything from the white house for a while until suddenly getting this call the day before yesterday, pl...

With karen mcdougal. and jeff zelenys sources are correct, that would be an extraordinary move, even for this president, announcing the replacement of a top adviser, at least in part to deflect from a former playboy model talking about a 12-year-old alleged affair. jeff did the reporting on the curious timing of the bolton story, also the one trying to get answers from the president today. jeff joining us now from the white house. the president not wanting to say anything at all about this today...

Jeff zeleny has been told by sources that the presidents announcement of john bolton after dumping his secretary of state, was done in part to take the spotlight off the interview with karen mcdougal. if jeff zelenys sources are correct, that would be an extraordinary move, even for this president, announcing the replacement of a top adviser, at least in part to deflect from a former playboy model talking about a 12-year-old alleged affair. jeff zeleny did the reporting on the curious timing of ...

Man who is now the president of the united states, that is a comp -- potentially compromising situation. >> its pretty unusual for a sitting president of the united states, and it gives a lot of influence and power to the people the public did not elect. i point out, look, the heart of the dispute that karen mcdougal is now involved in with ami is whether she can or can not speak. her representatives say she cant speak because behind closed doors, ami is saying well drag you into arbitration. th...

Essentially saying, you know, tweeting oud a picture of a cd last night, which he then said today contained proof of some kind of an affair. and he essentially taunted the president to keep going. the president on that one, he has become part of this arbitration case. so he is actually joining that fight in a pretty public way. its dramatic for him to be suing somebody for damages in this way. while then sort of saying i know nothing about it and this isnt true. i think that the longer this goes...
