This amounted to the trump foundation functioning as little more than a checkbook to serve mr. trumps business and political interests. what is your reaction to that? >> first, it has been uncontradicted by the president or anyone else. closing down the foundation suggests theres a lot of truth there, and it is a stunning attack really and rebuke of the president. if he was using a charitable foundation for his self-interest, it is contrary to the law and contrary to what we expect of charitable...

Unconditional acceptance of responsibility for his crime, which is what a plea of guilty is. so what the judge is saying is, if youre really serious about this, then i may not be able to accept this guilty plea. and that would be a big problem for flynn, because then he may be in jeopardy of being charged with other things that he presumably pled guilty to avoid. i just want to also make clear that as a legal matter, when someone is not in custody, when they are free to leave, when it is a volun...

Really, calling into question this potential sentence of no time that michael flynn was supposed to get. he issued a very strong rebuke, not only of his own lies, but the fact that he got vice president mike pence to live to the american public. the judge saying that, "in a way, you sold out your country." a very stiff rebuke, they are. now you are looking at the lower part of your screen as the court remains in recess until 12:30. we will bring you that breaking news just as soon as we get more...
