Contradictions." andr andrew, thanks for being here. weve been looking at a number of potential legal cases against president, including one by some observers, a former contestant on "the apprentice." a lot of people thought she had a real case. she is accusing him of sexual misconduct. but now you have stormy daniels giving that bombshell interview on "60 minutes" and her lawyer overnight, michael avenatti, trying to get the president to be deposed. do you think theyre going to be if effective?...

Of. but it would probably require some kind of congressional approval. so the military -- the pentagon can move some money around from account to account within the larger d.o.d. budget. but only if it is for the same basic purpose. so theoretically they could take some money from military construction and use it for something like a border wall. but there is a threshold on how much money they can take without congressional approval, over sight and approval. and there is the problem that u.s. mi...

Michael cohen too. good evening. im not sure if you heard alana evans hoeb homes ago. she wants to sue michael koe hen for defamation, does she have a case? >> in this case you va public statement that its false, that theres no privilege attached to it. what she has to establish is what she said about her was false. its not clear to me completely what she said rises to that level. you know, she could file the lawsuit but its not clear to me yet that she has reached the threshold. others can disa...

No privilege attached to it. she has to establish whats with said was injurious. its not clear that it rises to that level. she can file the lawsuit but not clear she reached the threshold but others can disagree for sure. thats a subjective determination for what is injury. >> i want to move onto russia and other things. what do you think? does she have a case? >> yeah. what i would say is she could certainly file a case and then it would give her some leverage. i dont know how strong stormy da...

Thats not going to happen? >> well, thats going to be a whipping boy for years to come. senators have been there long enough, most of them, to have been in the minority, and it is highly unlikely this they will get rid of the 60 vote threshold. president trump also mentioned getting a line item veto over spending. and that is equally unlikely due to a 1999 supreme court decision. so unless theres a constitutional amendment which seems rather unlikely, that is also going nowhere. >> so his frustr...

This issue. >> yeah, i wish we would have known to create a voice like this, to create meaningful change. there was really no frame of reference when columbine happened. this wasnt something that occurred, there was a different level of preparedness from the stoneman douglas students. now there is a voice so loud, it cannot be ignored. >> what about the repetition factor, that this is part of the lives of people who were born at the time of columbine, now its the world they were born into. >> ab...

>> our desire to be able to fully fund the elections within an individual state but its a states responsibility. if theres incentives we can put in place to spur them, its the people of the states going to their state leaders and saying we want our election to be secure and to be able to take care of it in their own state will be the primary piece. >> reporter: aware of the best practices and equipment available. >> one of our recommendations is we figure out how to aud it and what states get th...

Funding bill that will carry us through the rest of the fiscal year. >> democrats demanded to pass the citizenship in exchange for fully funding the wall and talks had a dead end. one of the top center democrats signaled his numbers are not trying a redline on the surgery. >> we are not going to have a shutdown. im urging the leaders to basically come together and understand there is an emergency at hand here. 780,000 young people have their lives hanging in the balance because president trump k...

That can work if you are following the news but not essentially to a judge. the judge is looking at number one, can stormy daniels, not the other six women who havent been fully vetted and two of which may or may not have similar non-disclosure agreements, is there anything that allows stormy daniels to speak. what it seems they are trying to do here is listen, if there is an overall theme where the court is never going to try to enforce a contract that is against public policy that includes whe...

Similar the contracts were to the one that stormy daniels signed, if theyre similar at all? >> its the latter. what he is trying to do is get the claim of stormy daniels to the court of public opinion. that can work if you are following the news but not as much to a judge. if a judge is looking at the central issue here, number one, can stormy daniels, not the other six women who havent been fully vetted and two of which may or may not have similar non-disclosure agreements, is there anything th...
