A recap of the days news. Me late one night, to hit the reset button on his life and liz previous loyalty to such a man that he considered especially after helsinki to be a danger to our country. As president of the united states. So do you know what giuliani has been saying . Hes a liar, this is nothing more than a series of lies, hes a liar, liar, liar, liar. What do you say to that . The man who said truth is not truth. The man who takes away any dispute of fact that donald trump committed a crime when he directed my client, Michael Cohen to pay the money to miss daniels. It was Rudy Giuliani who broke the Attorney Client privilege, contradicted president trumps lie on Air Force One who said,
mr. Trump reimbursed Michael Cohen for the advance money paid to miss daniels to keep her quiet. That is Rudy Giuliani saying that donald trump knew, directed and paid Michael Cohen. There is no allegation of any wrongdoing against the president in the government charges against mr. Cohen. This is giuliani speaking here. It is clear that as the prosecutor noted, mr. Cohens actions reflect a pattern of lies and dishonesty over a significant period of time. Let me repeat. I am talking about a fact not in dispute. Mr. Trumps attorney submitted a letter published to the Special Council, in which they said mr. Trump directed mr. Cohen to make this payment. Whatever giuliani wants to invent, that truth isnt truth or to say whats on the tape
he was trying to cover up and hide his own role in the situation with ms. Daniels by having cohen do the deed rather than himself. There is no dispute, there is no need for proof. His lawyers have admitted that fact. Everyone knew that the president knew. And when he got aboard Air Force One, we know, he knew about this payment. You say Michael Cohen has information that should be of interest to the Special Council, and hes more than happy to tell mueller all that he knows. Does this mean that cohen will say what cnn reported a month ago, that cohen told friend s trump knew of the Trump Tower Meeting ahead of time . Theres certain things that an attorney and client share that i cant divulge, unlike Rudy Giuliani, who waived Attorney Client privilege when he spoke about what donald trump told him. Im not allowed to do that. Russian the conspiracy to included as well as actual knowledge of a crime that most people would call the fbi about, and well see what develops with mr. Muellers investigation, i think he knows a lot more than we think he knows. If michael has all of this stuff as you say, and theres no reason to believe that he doesnt. Why would the president and the president s team, the Administration Work as hard almost every day to throw Michael Cohen under the bus and keep backing up over him . Or as one of our analysts said, you know, on Air Force One, throwing him under Air Force One. Why would he do that . Or they do that . Its impossible to understand Rudy Giulianis conduct. Truth is not truth, throwing a client under the busby admitting essentially we now know a crime
by saying he reimbursed a Campaign Contribution that was above the limits and didnt disclose it in his 2019 2018 report, Rudy Giuliani simply doesnt understand the law or doesnt care about the law. And this particular culture of lying we know, that it was Rudy Giuliani who said that when donald trump lied to the press on Air Force One youve done that clip, ive seen. Its not a crime to lie to the American People. Well, giulianis right about that, but it is an impeachable offense. To use the office of the president to abuse the powers of the presidency and lie to the American People. Im not going to hold you too much longer, but again you say, Michael Cohen has information that does what as it relates to conspiracy and collusion . I think it would be of interest to mr. Mueller, and i
dont want to go any further than that. Mr. Mueller, in a book thats about to come out in Paperback Version that i wrote, i liken mr. Mueller to a silent deadly submarine under the surface, leak proof with the fuel energized by one thing, facts. Facts. Something that Rudy Giuliani doesnt think exists, and that donald trump literally doesnt care when he ignores. And well see what mr. Mueller comes up with, but i do believe that Michael Cohen will tell the truth to Rudy Giuliani and will tell the truth about donald trump. Appreciate your time. Lanny davis, thank you very much. When we come back, Stormy DanielsAttorney Says the president s fingerprints are all over the crime scene in collection with the violation of Campaign Finance laws. You ready for this, junior .

Michael cohen pleading guilty to eight criminal counts today. Cohen admitting then candidate donald trump directed him to make those payments. Here to discuss the attorney representing storm my daniels, Michael Avenatti. You say you believe lanny davis dropped a bombshell in that interview. Lanny davis just made an admission that has never been made before. Its the first ive heard of this, he just stated on your show moments ago. Where are the receipts, visavis Donald Trumps involvement. Lanny davis just stated there was a Wire Transfer directly
into the account that Michael Cohen had established. This was the Essential Consultants account in order to pay my client the 130,000 payment. That is a huge problem for the president. It would be direct conduct by the Trump Organization to reimburse that payment. That would constitute Campaign Finance violation, and would basically make donald trump a coconspirator. That is directly contrary to what Rudy Giuliani told sean hannity a few months ago. What he told sean hannity was, the payment was reimbursed by way of invoices, i think he said laundered or used a similar word when describing how the 130,0 130,000 was uses. Funneled. That was an interesting word. If there was a 130,000 payment that went out to my client which we know there was. And there was a 130,000 wire that came into that account. The president s in a lot of trouble. How so . Explain. Because i think its an open and shut case. Relating to the fact that this 130,000 payment was paid by Michael Cohen with the understanding that he was going to be reimbursed directly by donald trump or the Trump Organization. That would have had to have been disclosed. Another part of the interview. I said, i followed up, and he it would be good for okay, this is not verbatim, it is notes. Some things i cant divulge, Attorney Client privilege, certain complications, we are unable to correct Michael Cohen. Has information that we would be that would be of interest to mr. Mueller. This is paraphrasing here, i
wont call it a smoking gun. Someone will have to characterize it, but he does have information that would be of interest and it pertains to a crime most people would call the fbi about. Don, i think the big Effort Problem right now for donald trump is, that he has lost control. Hes lost control over manafort, hes lost control over cohen. These two individuals now are going to be looking to do whatever they can to cut their own criminal sentences, to protect their families, and theres not a lot that donald trump is going to be able to do about it, and i will just tell you, though, if theres a Wire Transfer receipt for 130,000 payment directly from the Trump Organization. That is nothing short of a bombshell. I want to say one thing, i respect lanny, but i disagree with him about what we just heard, i think its complete nonsense and spin. Michael cohen did not all of a sudden find love of country and did not all of a sudden become a patriot. Did not all of a sudden conclude
after having known donald trump for 12 or 15 years that donald trump would not make a good president. Heres what happened, Michael Cohen realized he was dead to rights, he was in the crosshairs, whatever metaphor you want to use, as it relates to prosecutors from the Southern District of new york. He took the steps hes taken for no other reason than to save himself and his family. Lets be clear about that, lets not try to call it anything other than what it is, just so everyone understands what happened. This season the about love of country or patriotism, Michael Cohen waited until the last possible moment, youve witnessed it over the last five months. Hes been practically begging for donald trump to lead him out of the dark force for months now, it became clear it wasnt going to happen. He was waiting on some help in the president. No question. I think he was waiting for loyalty and it never developed. Its a lengthy sound bite, but this is what you were referring to earlier, when it comes to the alleged wire
transfer if that is what happened. Watch this. Does he have the proof . Does he have the receipts . First of all, yes, the Wire Transfer from the Trump Corporation to the account that Michael Cohen set up, that then went to Stormy Daniels is recognizable and provable. Let me repeat, the proof is president trumps own lawyers, wrote the Special Council and used the word directed. There doesnt need to be proof when the lawyers have acknowledged that the client directed Michael Cohen to make an illegal payment. Making the client as guilty certainly as the lawyer, and in my judgment more guilty, because he was trying to cover up and hide his own role in the situation with miss daniels by having before cohen do the deed rather than himself. There is no dispute, there is no need for proof, his lawyers have
admitted that fact. The first part of that is, you say what . Thats a bombshell. If what lanny davis just stated is true, theres a 130,000 Wire Transfer directly into that bank account that was used to pay my client. And that is a direct reimbursement from donald trump or a Company Controlled by limb, which is what lanny davis just said, it is a stunning piece of evidence and stunning admission. It runs counter to what Rudy Giuliani said and it also runs counter to David Schwartz. He defended cohen. Used to defend Michael Cohen. Youll remember all the things that David Schwartz told the American People that ended up being absolutely false. Youve made a lot of predictions, and a lot of them have come true. Im wondering what this means, ill get to that what does this mean for your case . Does this mean that you will possibly get to depose a sitting
president . What are the chances of that . I think the likelihood of us being able to depose first Michael Cohen and second donald trump, i think those odds went through the roof today as a result of the plea, as a result of the language in the plea, and the facts that Michael Cohen pled to. I think theres little question as to whether were going to get a deposition of Michael Cohen, and im going to be permitted to ask him specific questions about what happened and the level of communications, and im going to get to the details relating to that and then i am guessing. Im not guessing, im speculating, im on solid ground im going to get a deposition of the president of the united states. Zero doubt that Michael Cohen is already cooperating and has been cooperating with investigators, do you mean the Special Council or the Southern District . Im referring to the Southern District. It does not sound to me that he has cooperated with the Special Council. I dont think theyve offered him the queen for a day thing. According to our source that i know that has not been put on the table. The queen for a day, to talk to the Special Council. You also have said that you think this president will resign before his term is what is your proof, whats the indication of that, and how do you feel about that now . I said that a number of months ago, and i feel even more strongly about that Statement Today in light of what lapped with Paul Manafort and with Michael Cohen. I think the walls are closing in on the president , i dont think hes going to serve out his term. I want to be clear about something, theres a lot of things that have to happen. Theres a dynamic situation. We dont know what the Southern District of new york is going to do that is provided by Michael Cohen. I stand on that prediction. Rudy giuliani tweeted, buckle up, buttercup, you and your client completely misplayed this. I tweeted that out, because i meant it. You tweeted that to Rudy Giuliani . Hes an absolute Walking Disaster of an attorney. Hes destroyed liz legacy, hes done a disservice to himself and his client. And hes committed legal malpractice in the way theyve handled this. Donald trump should have brought Michael Cohen into the tent a long time ago. I asked lanny that question, why did he keep him and giuliani they dont understand the sense of loyalty unless youre last name is putin. Then they understand loyalty. Your client tweeted this, how you like me now . Teamstormy. How big of a day is this for your case . Its a huge day. Shes ecstatic, she feels vindicated. There are a lots of legal pundits that took a fair amount of shots at her and me, and our legal strategy, how we use the media. As of today, it looks okay. Yeah, all of that reporting we were doing was fake news, remember . All fake news. All facts are fake news. Thank you, sir, i appreciate it. Well be right back. Hs ] [ screams ] [ laughs ] whoa, whoa, whoa. Your one item would be the name your price tool . It helps people save on car insurance. Why wouldnt it save me . Why . What would you bring . A boat. Huh. Paul manafort spending the rest of his life in prison. The judge declaring a mistrial on 10 other counts, also Michael Cohen pleading guilty to eight other counts today as well. I want to bring in Renata Mariati and arriva martin. You have heard lanny davis. Lanlny davis said he believes that Michael Cohen has information that the Special Council would be interested in. Michael avant atty believes that lani dave dropped a bombshell when he talked about the possibility of a reco
