Laid out in january when, remember, he met with reporters in john kellys office in a stop by, and he -- were still in the same place all these months later, he calls what he did fighting back. and he thinks thats what investigators are calling obstruction of justice and he still seems committed to a strategy that that is the case hes going to make, that is simply just fighting back. >> we have seen so much shake-up is an understatement on the legal team. so emmet flood is coming into the team an...

Ukrainians now are stopping or withholding from cooperating with mueller in the ukrainians are depending upon this administration for -- for some resources, et cetera. when i start seeing things like that, it gives me question marks. when our allies cant trust what the president of the united states says, that gives me pause. so you dont know when hes doing something or what hes saying or is it accurate or not? he has been known to be a con man. all of his career just about when you see the tele...

That were leaked in the "the new york times" and a lot of those were focused on the presidents intent related to not just firing of comey and michael flynn but also his ties to russia and his business ventures out into russia. its very notable that you tie this with a former aide coming basically out of a hearing with mueller and saying, whoa, they are really focused on collusion with a legal shake-up among trumps team to have a team thats more adversarial toward mueller and it suggests that the...

Among his legal team and clearly with cobbs departure there went the last person who was really advocating for this and feeling like some of the advice that he had been getting previously was, we cooperate as much as we can. we give them as much of what theyre asking for as we can and in the process of doing that we will basically help to wrap this up quickly, the special counsel will get what he needs and this will be over. clearly that has not panned out and what youve seen is the last week in...

Antonio for governor. former new york city mayor rudy giuliani just joined the presidents legal team a few weeks ago and a lot has happened. a lot has happened since then. to name a few key things, a list of 40 plus questions that the special counsel wants to ask the president was leaked. there was a major legal shake-up at the white house last night, attorney ty cobb leaving, sources tell us because he was unhappy with the approach to the mueller probe and last night giuliani claimed the pres...

See when hillary clinton had been president, but our researchers are still working on that. what do you make of that? >> well, again, its first of all, everyone here loses credibility, both trump and giuliani because they cant even keep their story internally consistent. and, you know, weve said this before about trump. he cant keep his story straight. its hard to keep your story straight when youre not telling the truth. thats one problem. their stories are inherently contradictory. doesnt look...

That. by saying -- a campaign finance violation is defined as to whether the payment is to influence the election, to put it in its simplest terms. nothing giuliani said changes that. so, hes still in campaign finance violation territory and hes done further damage because he has now proven or stated, rather, that trump knew about the payment because to pay it back you had to know about it. we dont know what else is going to come out in cohens criminal case, michael cohens criminal case. and dep...

>> he fired comey because comey would not, among other things, say that he wasnt a target of the investigation. hes entitled to that. hillary clinton got that, and he couldnt get that. so he fired him and he said, im free of this guy. and he went on lester holt, lester holts interview was as good as anybody could do, better than anything any of the people around mueller could have done. lester holt asked him, why did you do it? he said, i did it because i felt that i had to explain to the americ...
