To do the job the way the president wants him to. michael cohen, you know him. he is taking the fifth in the stormy daniels case. i spoke with jay goldberg who represented trump in his divorce cases. and he says he thinks cohen will lie to tell prosecutors what they want to hear, to get himself out of trouble. and he says cohen will do it because he has a weak character. he is of a type that i recognize in the past as one not suited to stand up to the rigors of jail life. you think he is of weak character? i do think so. and i think that is unfair. and to characterize what i did say about michael, i don t think there is anything for him to be
Them. all right. it has been about a week. more than a week, actually, since you and daniels unveiled the sketch. the infamous sketch. of a man she claims threatened her in las vegas while she was there with her young daughter at the time in a parking lot talking about her alleged affair with the president. you told me a day after that that you had some good ideas about the suspect s identity. you ve gotten a lot of tips. are you ready to say who it is? we ve gotten a lot of tips. over 3,000 at this point. i would describe six or seven were crede b bable. 6 or 700. as credible. it takes a lot of time to run these. look at what just happened today in connection with the golden state killer and how long that took to come to fruition. we are spending a lot of time on this. we re going to make sure that we identify the proper person if we identify them publicly because this, the stakes very, very high and we want to be very careful in how we proceed and be diligent and smart about
I believe it s by resignation. item going to stand by that. so you believe he s doing this because he s afraid of what s in it. not as a tactic to say well, we couldn t review the documents. the president s time s too valuable. he couldn t look at them. there s two different theorys here. this is critically important for him personally to devote whatever time is necessary as it relates to reviewing this material because it is in his best interest to try to shield as much evidence and information as possible from government prosecutors. of course, i don t think that he could spend enough time to ultimately accomplish the task because i think the dye is alrea already. why do you think it would lead to his resignation? people don t care. right? it s not about that. what s the point? it hasn t been that for some time. t not about the sex. not about what happened in lake tahoe. it s about the kickoff up cover
To sink the nomination. i can tell you tonight that republicans on this committee and on capitol hill little manufacture broadly are very skeptical this nomination will get confirmed and if it s worth putting this fight to push him through to deal with these messy allegations that are coming from 23 individuals right now and whether it s worth fighting to get him ultimately confirmed, particularly if these are true, unlikely at this point. some republicans believe he gets the job even if it continues to hang out there for several more weeks. thank you very much and now u straight to the white house and the principal deputy secretary who is on to talk about this. so, we re learning that ronny jackson did meet with the president this afternoon for about an hour u. can you tell us anything about meeting? that they re going to push ahead with this? well, erin, thanks for having me on this evening. we are pushing ahead with this
there s been a thorough vetting process done by the fbi as well as three other independent investigations, but that s part of what the nomination process of congress should do and what it s supposed to look like and why they should move forward with a hearing. so congress is to blame. it s a pretty amazing thing to say given the allegations and given the fact that members of the president s own party are calling out the white house for r poor vetting. what do you think this says about the white house s vetting process? it needs to be b more robust. this does raise questions about the white house vetting. there s been a history here of people coming to the hill not very well vetted. manu is outfront with the breaking details. what are they doing to verify these accusations they say are
