Plaintiff -- so hes saying this does not hurt stormy daniels to stay this case for 90 days. what does this mean ultimately? it means that michael avenatti cannot depose the president or depose michael cohen himself as he has repeatedly said he would do if this case was going forward. at least for the next 90 days, he will be unable to do that. now michael avenatti stormy danielss lawyer has tweeted and put out a statement and i spoke to him a few moments ago and i will read it. while we certainl...

In their pleading today that the the president said michael cohen does a tiny amount of legal work and therefore theres very little attorney/client privilege here. >> i wasnt surprised, lawrence. this is a two-way gift for both them and us. it came out of nowhere. if we scripted this, lawrence, we could not have scripted it better. if the president is watching, please call in to "fox & friends" tomorrow and every day next week, please. whatever you do. and please speak about our case and stormy ...

I dont know where they got it but im impressed they were able to put it in. and it absolutely undermined his position in this case because i think it helped them to show that the universe of that which is privileged is likely to be pretty small. >> in court today in new york these prosecutors for the southern district, they withdrew their previous objection to the idea of appointing a third party, a special master, to go through all the documents that were seized in the raid to find any items th...

Few months. theres going to be high level military talks to take place next month. there will have been some u.s. involvement on that nont as well. we know of course that the u.s. has already had some high level delegations to the north, but the next chapter of this is going to be president trump sitting down with the north korean leader. the table is now set for this. this is what needed to happen before the trump pleading could happen. so as youre saying, details on this are sketchy because we...

Their previous objection to the idea of appointing a third party, a special master, to go through all the documents that were seized in the raid to find any items that might legitimately be protected by attorney-client privilege. prosecutors had previously not wanted there to be a special master to do that. they said it could be handled within the prosecutors office. it struck me today when they dropped that objection and the judge went ahead and appointed the special master, it struck me as a c...

But the prosecutors want control over the investigation, how the evidence comes out, this will ensure that happens more. its more likely it will happen that way. >> whats your sense of where this will go? the judge could accept michael cohens pleading, say heres a stay based on this. he could say well put a stay on any deposition of michael cohen, but anything else you want to do, invite you to do other things. or he could say, no, the cohen deposition can go forward and he can invoke the fifth ...

Seat at the table as it relates to this document review thats going on in the southern district of new york. the basis for that is that we have substantial reason to believe that documents that belong to my client, including attorney/client privilege documents, were transmitted or provide today mr. cohen and subsequently seized in the fbi raids. we are hopeful well be able to work that issue out with the parties in that case and that the motion will be granted and that we will be given access to...

Taking the fifth so theyre not prosecuted. >> this is the pleading from michael cohen. this is the first time the presidents lawyer has sworn to a court he will plead the fifth. >> fifth amendment, fifth amendment, fifth amendment. horrible. >> michael cohen said today "based upon the advice of counsel i will assert my fifth amendment rights." >> you see, if youre innocent, why are you taking the fifth amendment? >> he cited the ongoing criminal investigation in the southern district of new york...

>> totally. >> he probably guaranteed that -- it might not have been 14-7. >> they might have gotten extra republican votes on the committee. including the chairman, grassly, which i think is significant.because chuck grassley, like all judiciary committee chairs in these kind of vettive situations are very careful. they want to play a quasi judicial no pun intended roll there. grassley was on record. i think it puts mcconnell in a difficult position. he has already said im not bringing that up ...

Answers. his invocation of the fifth amendment, any defense attorney would tell him to do that -- >> donald trump said only the mob. >> exactly. >> only the mob uses the fifth amendment. >> thats the problem, once again donald trumps words are coming back to bite him. there may have been some other explanation but its not going to work now. on the other hand i think the prosecutors are going to be relieved because they want control over their case. no offense to you, they both do exist often on ...
