however they paid him for the month for a year for a total of $$1.2 million. for one meeting. has mienl cohen or the white house responded to this story at all. michael cohen stayed silent about this. the white house doesn t want to touch it either. we saw white house press secretary sarah sanders asked about the payments to cohen multiple times today. and she said repeatedly that reporters should relay the questions to trump s outside counsel. she was asked specifically about whether cohen is qualified to advise corporations on the president. i thought her response was telling. she said i m not ge into anybody els qualifications. essentially this is for the companies to decide not her. the white house is definitely not going out of its way to defend cohen. even though this is a man who has said he would take a bullet for donald trump and of course the huge question now is whether
the president has from the beginning seemed very compromised by mr. putin. why is he. he slapped sanctions, the very on the very oligarch who supposedly bought him. i let you filibuster aim not letting you lie. did not slap sanctions on the very oligarch no he didn t. he was forced to by congress. congress made him do it. did he send cruise mitchells. would you stop. did hearm the kraine. does he once criticize vladimir put zbloon i don t know. i do. never. i care more about the axes. he attacked his own attorney general more than he attacked putin he is in putin s pocket. they wasted the rubles immensely. kristen going. don t start yelling me when i start talking. there s been no investigation into the hacking of american election. that is a major thing that has not happened.
them, not so much. we let you keep an eye on your business from anywhere. the others? nope! get internet on our gig-speed network and add voice and tv for $34.90 more per month. call or go on line today. we are talking process the money trail involving the president s lawyer michael cohen and the sweet sales pitch he is said to have used after the election according to one republican strategist. he courted companies saying i don t know who has been representing you but you should fire them, i m the guy you should hire. i m closest to the president. i m miss herman lawyer. now it may have worked with at least several companies. who we learned paid cohen after the election. one of the companies was at&t. at least $200,000 for what it called insight into the new administration. at&t is trying to acquire cnn s parent company time warner. the justice department sued to prevent the merger in november
they got us arming the ukraine. so these were rubles terribly they had to go to court to sue the federal government in terms of novartis big pharma didn t get anything it wanted. i have no doubt that michael cohen was really terribly trying to influence peddle. that s a terrible thing and acting swampy. but the reality and the great reality for donald trump is it didn t matter. he was selling a false bill of goods because swamp tactics are done in this white house. we now have a citizen president, someone sow o with no government experience before. a mogul who can t be bought and wasn t bought even though perhaps his personal attorney tried to sell him. he can be rented. no. yes. no. why did russia why would sanctions against. you gave your commercial let me give some facts. that s not a commercial. the russian connected company gave a $500,000. it s american. it s russian connected
so i don t think it s fair to say that he has been tough on the russians. i ll answer paul s question. he never ever criticizes vladimir putin. and you know that. you can point to a couple of things. the sanctions are not fair because congress made him. a couple of things raining cruise missiles on the air base for the a couple of things. first of all, steve you re saying he is a whole step further which is saying the russians didn t get anything out of the investment into michael cohen. we don t know that a hundred%. but that doesn t change the fact that they went after him and maybe michael cohen solicited we know he solicited novartis. did the president sanction in dunn the president didn t sanction that. i can t prove the negative. i don t know either. we dope know that tonight which is why these questions are so interesting and hang on hang on. i ll bring you in the conversation runt. another thing he no is that the special counsel has been asking we questions about this
