Different people and companies and five guilty please. Today marks one year since the Mueller Probe began. Lets go straight to our abby fill lipz. She joins us live from the white house. The president marking the anniversary. Reporter thats right. Today on the one Year Anniversary of this Mueller Probe we were supposed to have an opportunity to question President Trump at the white house. There was a press conference scheduled between him and the nato secretary general for this afternoon around 3 00, but instead the white house has scrapped those plans. Sources say its in part to keep the president on script when it comes to the Mueller Probe but meanwhile, the president has taken an opportunity to weigh in himself on twitter and he tweeted this morning multiple times but this one specifically calling out the anniversary of the probe saying, congratulations, america, we are now into the second year of the greatest witch hunt in american history. Theres still no collusion and no obstruction. The only collusion was that done by democrats who were unable to win an election despite the spending of far more money. Now the president has not been sort is not planning to be in the public eye today and under the scrutiny of reporters for questioning, however his aides have been on television this morning reiterating the same message the president wants the American People wants to know today that he believes this is still a witch hundred. They believe the Mueller Probe is not justified at the same time President Trump also has a lot of other things on his plate including north korea and that same source tells cnn that the white house is also trying to keep a wraps on his comments about that brewing issue under the surface here, john and poppy. Thank you for the reporting. Lets go to jessica schneider. The president s newest attorney, Rudy Giuliani back on television, fox news, claiming President Trump cannot be indicted in the russia probe. It seems like his focus on indicting the president or not is a diversion from the other i word, impeachment. Rudy giuliani is really saying impeachment could be possible. The special counsel here could write a report. Rudy giuliani is attempting to draw really clear lines in the legal landscape here. He says that the special counsels team has concluded that they cannot indict a sitting president and theyve informed the president s legal team of that legal conclusion. Giuliani says that really only means one option for the special counsel if this moves forward, it would be to write a report that could then be referred to congress for any possible impeachment proceedings. Interestingly, giuliani is going even farther than that. Hes saying not only can the special counsel not indict but he argues they also have no Legal Authority to even subpoena the president. Take a listen to this. Were going to see what kind of legal remedies are available to us including if they subpoena us, challenge the subpoena. The same reason they cant indict him, they cant issue a subpoena to him. So if you follow the logic there from Rudy Giuliani, its that under the legal teams view of the law, the only way the special counsel could force the president s testimony is to show that they need to investigate a crime of great significance. So the logic is if you cant indict a president for any crime, maybe like obstruction of justice, then theres no crime to justify a subpoena. Thats the logic giulianis using there but it doesnt square, of course, because subpoenas are issued all the time for witness testimony. Its not only this tool used for the target potentially of a crime. Jessica, thanks so much. Joining us now errol lus and jackie cue sin niche. Lets try to navigate the legal and political logic here of Rudy Giuliani. The debate over whether or not a sitting president can be indicted is a fascinating discussion. I dont think thats what Rudy Giuliani is doing here. I think hes trying to make a political case. What does he get out of this . Hes trying to make sure his client, the president , doesnt go anywhere near a grand jury, doesnt put himself under oath or doesnt put himself in danger of perjury or obstruction of justice. Hes doing what a good lawyer should do. On the other hand, its not as cut and dry as he makes it seem. Weve come close to this point before in the clinton impeachment case, in the nixon watergate case but we never worked through this and the point is we have principals and we have institutions and we have traditions that enable us to walk through these. Whats important is not whether theres a report, whether theres an indictment or impeachment. Thats what the president is worried about understandably, for the rest of us we should be concerned about, do we have a way to respond do we have a way of finding out the actual truth, do we have a way of responding to it with all of the different mechanisms and it includes impeachment but it includes elections and includes laws that could be passed to make sure that whatever went wrong here doesnt happen again. Jackie, the use of the word report, sure mueller can write a report is what Rudy Giuliani said, like this is a fifth grade social studies essay. This would be a report recommending or laying out all the facts to congress and talking about potentially impeachable offenses, not innocuous. Especially when you consider the ears it might be hitting. He will not have the same congress he has now. Whether more democrats or republicans, we dont know. This does have repercussions. What those will be is a big question mark. If democrats dont want to talk about impeachment right now. Ill say that. They dont want to run on it. They want to talk about a whole plethora of other things. That said, the idea that this would not land in their lap is not farfetched. A lot of it could be scathing and to the legal point, which maybe the biggest jump that Rudy Giuliani makes here, if you think a president cant be indicted, that means hes not subject to any subpoena. Exactly. The fact is its like giulianis coming out, hes coming out with the statement saying believe me, this is the way this is going to be. There wont be an indictment and they can write a report like what i it on my summer vacation. Subpoenas can issue and a subpoena can be issue the in this case. He cant set the stage for this for mueller but hes setting stage publicly for his client. I think hes doing a good job right now in framing those issues but at the end of the day a subpoena will be issued and it could be scathing. It doesnt have any history on his side. And Rudy Giuliani himself, then attorney still attorney but with a very different view of the law i suppose, heres giuliani in 98 on this issue. If the president is asked to testify, subpoenaed to testify before a grand jury and says no, not going to do it. You got to do it. You dont have a choice. Change of opinion to be political political politically skpeeient. That Rudy Giuliani didnt have a client that was facing this sticky proposition. What well find is that what ends up happening for they dance around it in exchange for not subpoenaing the president , he agreed to sit down clinton . Yeah and give information under oath. Only after a subpoena came, only after his hand was forced. The notion of whether or not he has to respond to it, obviously the president President Trump can fight against this. It can go to the Supreme Court and bounce around. Theres no particular reason to prejudge where its going to end up. I think we all agree that wed be in a crisis if that were to happen and Rudy Giuliani should be trying to steer his client away from that. To simply announce that it cant happen, absolutely wrong. Does the president want to tie this up in the courts and make himself the center of attention and have this legal battle, maybe, but theres also the idea of him giving a statement or having an interview with mueller, hes a uniquely flawed individual in that case because he has trouble staying on task, telling the truth and when youre talking to the special counsel that can be a really big problem and put him in potential legal jeopardy. Stay with us. We have a lot more to get to. Also this story breaking this this morning, the anonymous source that leaked Michael Cohens bank records to the press is now coming forward claiming they did this because they were worried that important financial documents which may contain suspicious Financial Transactions were being purposefully, possibly hidden from investigators. M. J. Lee joins us with this story. What are they saying . Poppy, these documents are called suspicious activity reports and they are exactly as they sound. These are reports that banks are required to file with the Treasury Department if they suspect that there is something suspicious going on at their bank. One of the banks that filed such a report is First Republic bank. This is the blank that Michael Cohen used to set up a bank account for thinks company essential consultants. This is a bank account he used to pay Stormy Daniels and we now know he used to also receive a lot of money from companies that he was trying to do Business Consulting deals with. Now one Law Enforcement official now tells the ronan farrow that he notice thats two of these sar reports were missing and he found this to be alarming that he decided to leak the rest of the sar reports to the press. Now heres ronan narrow on new day this morning taking stock of what he thinks all of this means. Its possible that the Southern District of new york or special counsel mueller went in and said please kwarnen teen these, restrict these in some way. Every expert we spoke to said that almost never happens, they didnt know of a procedure for doing that. If indeed thats the case, it suggests that there is something very, very sensitive in these remaining reports. Now this Law Enforcement official is emphatic that for these sars reports should go missing that is troubling. Heres a part of what he told ronan. I have never seen something pulled off the system. That system is a safeguard for the bank. Stockpile of information and when something not there that should be somethings not there that should be i immediately became concerned. Thats why i came forward. Why just those two missing . Thats what alarms me the most. In terms of how he is personally doing right now, he simply says hes terrified. He told ronan to say im terrified right now would be an understatement and this is a terrifying time to be an american to be in this situation and to watch all of this unfold. Making it clear that he knows that he has taken a big personal risk but he felt that it was important to do it any way. Thank you for the important reporting. Lets go back to our panel and ann, let me begin with you from a legal perspective, given what she just said and even the most benign explanation that ronan laid out there this morning still is a world of trouble for Michael Cohen that there were these suspicious activity reports, multiple ones about 3 million worth of transactions. If youre investigating this and the prosecutor looking at this, what are you looking at most . Im looking for a coverup. To go to this level to get rid of evidence and obviously talking about being terrified maybe thats where he is right now in terms of his legal position. Desperate men do desperate things. As a prosecutor, my antenna is up and ready. If ronan the other possibility is that maybe Robert Mueller or the Southern District of new york tried to quarantine those records and it did happen it would mean theyre so important that theres another world of hurt for Michael Cohen. Exactly. Theres just no good end to this right now for him i think. Of course, on the end of a lot of other troubling things were seeing. Errol, i want to ask you about the Washington Post reporting also about Michael Cohen that Michael Cohen solicited 1 million from the government of qatar for access and basically advice on the trump administration. Now we know he went after a drug manufacturer, he went after a Tell Communication giant but now were talking about a foreign country here. He provided nothing of any real value to any of these clients. That raises the question of what was this all about . Were you trying to rip them off . Which is itself not quite legal depending on how its done. It can end up being something akin to extortion or were you trying to funnel money to some where else . Were you soliciting a bribe . What was this . If theres no tangible service that you can reasonably be expected to offer or was there . Or was there some implied connection . Im the president s lawyer right now. I handle his personal business. Pay me a lot of money and what i do for you down the road will figure that out later. This is all very unsavory and can easily cross legal lines. Michael cohen has made more problems for himself. Perhaps out of simple greed or perhaps of not really understanding how the law works or more likely out of some combination or some environment in which somebody wanted to profit off of this presidency. Qatar said no which makes it even more interesting that he aggressively went after this and they said were good. The office of government ethics came out with the president s disclosure forms for 2017 which he has to detail any liabilities he has, any debts he oweses and the payment and debt to Michael Cohen for the Stormy Daniels payoff was included but the oje wants to make it clear that this was not disclosed in the previous filing, in the 2016 numbers and they laid that out in their explanation. Do you feel like the white house or the president or Anyone Around him has yet given a very clear explanation of the payment to Stormy Daniels, jackie . They seem to think that that didnt have to be disclosed. Oge disagrees with that and now we know why Rudy Giuliani decided to just spit this forth during an interview his numbers are double what the numbers are on this report. Which is why we have some explaining to do. They have not explained why the numbers are doubled. They have not explained why this wasnt on the initial disclosure forms because, i guess, because we didnt want to tell anyone isnt that great of an explanation. That may not hold up in a court of law. The president writing on things and i dont know if we have the tweet to throw up, hes complaining about this the New York Times article that charts the russia investigation to its genesis. What was remarkable is how closed and tight the fbi and federal Law Enforcement kept this investigation, but the president and some of his allies are picking up on this notion, well, there was a government informant who was involved in speaking to papadopoulos and also carter page. This shows there was something insidious going on. Showing what . What was insidious and wheres the proof . Wheres anything that we know its interesting. Its curiouser and curiouser talking about the rabbit hole. Thanks so much. The Senate Intelligence committee braise with the house on russian meddling.
