President trumps attorneyRudy Giuliani coming out with a major claim that the tape that we heard of trump last week, the one secretly recorded by the president s friend and lawyer Michael Cohen is doctored. The tape that i am talking about is the one with trump and cohen heard talking about a possible payment to silence Karen Mcdougal that the president had a monthlong affair with around the time that his son baron was born. And in that tape, they will discuss whether they should pay in cash or check, and the tape abruptly cuts off. Here it is. So i am all over that, and i spoke the allan about it, and when it is time for the financing which is alan. No, no sh, no. The check no. And this is what giuliani is saying about the tape now. He abruptly ended that recording when the president said the word check, and what we
are investigating is how did that happen, and what did actually happen, and what was eliminated and then, he is going to have to raise that question with every one of these tapes, and how many of them did he play around with . We have determined the fact that he tampered with the tape in the sense that he abruptly mid conversation turned it off. Now we know that he did not do that for a good reason. Cnn white house Boris Sanchez is live in new jersey near the president s golf club where he is spending the weekend. And giuliani is claiming that the one tape is dock toornd we know that fbi has more tape, and does he believe they are doctored, too . We dont know quite yet, ana. Rudy giuliani has gone through the spectrum when it comes to talking about the president s former attorney Michael Cohen from calling him an honorable man to the flat out now calling him a liar, and taking to the Sunday Morning Talk Shows to dispute exactly what the president said in his conversation that recorded conversation with his former attorney, and the president and
his legal team clearly on the defensive here following the explosive claims made by Michael Cohen and namely the idea that President Trump approved the meeting of june 16th with don jr. And other campaign officials, and russians, and to get dirt on hillary clinton, but something that the president has denied knowing anything about. This is Rudy Giuliani. We know something about 183 unique conversations on tape. One of them with the president of the United States, and after three oneminute involving the mcdougal payment. There are 12 others, maybe 11, 12 others out of the 183 in which the president is discussed at any length by cohen, and mostly with clearly corroborate
what the president has said in the tweets that he did not know about the payments to either one when it happened and only found out later, and these are the tapes that i want you to read them and hear them. Giuliani is a long time prosecutors and making the case that as the president s Defense Attorney that Michael Cohen would not help the prosecution and he points to previous statements that essentially as you is sort of heard there c corroborated positions that the president has held in the past. It is going be interesting to see exactly what Michael Cohen says to the federal prosecutors the and how it plays out in court, ana. And giuliani talking to the press this morning, and the president speaking for himself on twitter on the attack. And what is he saying . Yeah, the president launching some fresh attacks on the Special Counsel, and the most direct attacks yet naming Robert Mueller, and these are the tweets coming in under an hour
ago and the president is writing quote, is Robert Mueller ever going to release his Conflicts Of Interest with President Trump including the fact that he we had a nasty an contentious business relationship, and i had the fbi one day before he was appointed before the Special Counsel, and comey is his close friend. And also, why is mueller only appointing Ainngry Democrats an some working for Crooked Hillary and others have worked for obama, obama, and why Isnt He Looking at the criminal activity and the inclusion on the other side, and podesta and the dossier, and plenty to factcheck in the tweet, ana, and for the sake of brevity, the president s own departme Department Of Justice has been looking into the claims of the conflict of interest for Robert Mueller, and Ethics Lawyers have been looking into this, and a spokesperson for the Department Of Justice put out a statement writing, the Ethics Lawyers determined that the participation for him is appropriate, and in private at least, sources have been talking
about the alleged conflict of interests before, and golf fees disputed between him and the virginia golf club, and ro Robert Mueller, and spokesperson for the Special Counsel says that it was not an issue at all, and it was not part of the reason that Robert Mueller decided to leave that golf club, but as i said, that the Department Of Justice has reached the conclusion that Robert Mueller is appropriate, and the president is calling the investigation illegal, ana. Thank you, Boris Sanchez. I want to bring in cnn Law Enforcement analyst and former fbi supervisor agent josh campbe campbell, and also, opinion columnist catherine. And now, start with you, josh. You know comey and mueller was mention ed ed in the tweet, andt are you making of the president s claims . Well, Sit By Czar Behavior a it is bizarre statement, and one way to move the attention away from the investigation is to continue to perpetuate this lie that Robert Moouler who is a decorated vietnam veteran who is with a long decorated career would all of the sudden change is a lie. But the problem is that the more you repeat a lie, more people remember it. And he is peddling the Conspiracy Theories and nobody knows if he actually believe its it, but in regard to the beliefs, they distract, and deflect and trying to undermine mueller. So you are saying zero credence to the tweets about conflict of interest . Right. We know that the Department Of Justice went through, you know, if you are going line by line and not only the Ethics Lawyers looking at this, but who
appointed robert mooul nor the office and it is someone that the president , himself, had appointed, and he mentioned that mueller served undert president obama, and long term which is true, but also served under george bush, so it is not squaring with reality. And we know that mooul ser a republican, and rosenstein who appointed him is a republican, and Jeff Sessions is also a republican, and we could go on and on, but catherine, seven tweets attack iing mueller and e investigation, and are you sensing that something is perhaps going to be that the president doesnt like . Possibly. I dont know what could give you that impression. I mean, this is reeking of odesperation, and trump is trotting out all of The Greatest Hits of how the world is out to get him, and everybody is biased, and the golf fees thing seems pretty desperate as well. But look, he is in an escalating feud with Michael Cohen and maybe Something Else is coming out from that trump is not
looking forward to, and we dont know what that is, but cohen has floated some test balloon s ts he has more incriminating evidence, and you have mentioned that giuliani is arguing that the tape released by Michael Cohens tape was doctored. And so, it seem s ths that trum worried about what the next shoe is going to be to drop. I want to ask you about the tapes, josh, and how reliable are the recordings that cohen made, and abruptly, no way to tell if they were take n out of context, so what do the investigators do with it . Determining the authenticity of the evidence is crucial aspect of the case. We have to remember that this is not investigative evidence. What we are seeing is one party unilaterally releasing a recording they made via the press and not a curt of law. So you have to keep that in
mind, that you dont have investigators who have weighed in on this, but i am assuming that down the road this does make its way into the court of law, it will be scrutinized by a team of fbi down in quantity, and i have used them on my case, a and they can look in to see if it is doctored or altered or simply incomplete, and that all part of it. But looking through the investigative lens, and obviously, concerned about what is on the tape, but aim curious and concerned about why the tape exist exists in and of itself. You know, the lawyer taping the client is not something that is, ethically they are trained to do. But the fact that cohen had to capture the moment that his client would respond to something that is a serious Allegation Lead nose believe that he didnt think that the response would be innocent, and he needed some evidence or cooperation or something to blackmail or cover himself down the road, and the whole thing smacks of malfeasance. I have to leave it there, catherine and i owe you a
question first next time. Thank you, catherine and josh. Up next, moves of a threat of a Government Shutdown by the president if his border wall is not funded.
