me, i wasn't there but reading at trupt like a prepared statement. it's very hard for me to believe that he made that prepared statement without his lawyers having shown it to the prosecutors so that they weren't surprised by it. so my guess is they knew that was coming, too. >> a rackable set of charges today. who the only for mr. cohen but obviously because of what it means for the president what, it literally means for the president we have yet to find out. >> i don't think the fact that the special counsel wasn't around doesn't mean he's not talked to them. there's plenty of time for that. if it turns out later he does cooperate, the special counsel can let the sentencing court know about the extent of that cop of cooperation. >> a few minutes ago his lawyer offered he would like to talk to the special counsel some important stuff. more ahead tonight. stay with us.
