The president s personal attorney, michael cohen, are looking specifically for communications that then candidate donald trump had with cohen regarding the infamous access Hollywood Tape. The tape, in which trump says this. You know, im automatically attracted to beautiful i just start kissing them. Its like a magnet. I just kiss. I dont even wait. And when youre a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Whatever you want. Grab em by the [ bleep ]. You can do anything. This is important, because it is the first known direct mention of the president in a search warrant. And according to a source, the warrant also referenced an investigation into wire fraud and bank fraud. Up a developments tth feel the feels are a violation. The prosecutors were looking for some sort of documentation that might have been connected with the access Hollywood Tape, that as you know came out during the campaign. Would the president consider that to be the Mueller Investigation has strayed outside its initial mandate . The president has certainly been clear that he has a very deep concern about the direction that the special counsel and other investigations have taken. Why the deep concern . After all, when it comes to the access Hollywood Tape, the president dismissed its importance. You may remember the video apology and the statement he released, which read in part, quote, this was locker room banter. B bill clinton has said far worse to me on the golf course, not even close. And when it came down to it, the video didnt matter. People voted for trump and he won. So tonight when we know the fbi wants communications with the president about the tape and about payments to both Stormy Daniels and Karen Mcdougal, why is the president so enraged . Why is he more angry over this cohen raid than anything else thats come from the Mueller Investigation . Why are his aides saying this is a turning point for the president . Why is he threatening to not sit down with mueller, possibly to even fire him and put his own presidency at risk, all over the cohen raid. It doesnt make sense, because the truth is, not only did trump win the election after the access Hollywood Tape came out and we all had heard it, but when it comes to the alleged affairs, the porn star and a playmate, voters still dont seem to care. In fact, the president s favorite barometer of Public Opinion, polls, show this. In a new poll, 73 of voters say the alleged affair with daniels is not an important issue. 59 also say the payments themselves are also not important. Even though when it comes to breaking the law, they could very well may be. The polls are on the president s side right now. And we all know this is a president who loves when polls are good. I love polls. I love polls. You know i love polls. I love polls. Im in love with polls. I love polls. I love polls. Everybody knows i love polls. So right now the polls back you, mr. President. So theres really nothing to hide in Michael Cohens office or his home that could bring your presidency down, why are you so raged . Could it be this part of the timeline . At 4 03 p. M. Eastern standard time, the access Hollywood Tape emerged. Thats when we first heard it. Then, suddenly, half an hour later, not even, at 4 30 p. M. Eastern standard time, wikileaks posted the first set of emails stole orphn from Hillary Clinto campaign chairman, john podesta, a hack blamed on the russian government. So were talking 27 minutes from that tape coming out and the first wikileaks hacked by russia that hurt Hillary Clinton being released. Coincidence . Gloria borger is out front. The development tonight stunning. You have fbi agents raiding trumps Lawyers Office, his home aboinformation regarding t access Hollywood Tape. And this is part of that larger search warrant that weve been reporting all week, that focussed in large part on Stormy Daniels and Karen Mcdougal and Michael Cohens investments. And what we learned today was another part of it was this acceaccess Hollywood Tape, an you pointed out, this is the first time the president s name has been mentioned in this. And what they want to know, were there any communications between the president bho, michael cohe other campaign operatives, for example, about anything that could create some kind of negative publicity, like an access Hollywood Tape, shortly before the election. So its the first indication we have that Law Enforcement may believe or just suspect that there was some effort to suppress the access Hollywood Tape. I mean, we know about mcdougal, we know about Stormy Daniels, but we didnt know about this. And, you know, in this search warrant, not only do you report the president of the United States referred to specifically, explicitly, by name, for the first time, youre also learning some more things about what is in the search warrant tonight . Well, right. There are references to potential wire fraud and bank fraud. And we also know that the warrant included references to Michael Cohens business of taxi medallions. And so youd have to say that this warrant was extraordinary in many ways. First of all, its extraordinary to search a Lawyers Office and cohen is, of course, upset about this, because he believes he has Attorney Client privilege. But also, its extraordinary because of the breadth of it. And the notion that we get from this that the authorities seem to believe that somebody was trying to hide something and may have been paying to hide it before the election. Obviously, that is hugely significant, when you talk about the possible suppression in the payments, is where the law could have been broken. And federal election law. Gloria, thank you so much, with all of those breaking details. I want to go now to the white house and pamela brown whos outfront there. Pamela, the president , as youve been reporting, angry about this raid from the moment he knew about it. More enraged than he has been about anything else. How is he reacting to these new developments tonight . Well, as you can imagine, erin, he continues to see that and is increasingly convinced, erin, that the raid on his personal attorneys home and office was really about Robert Mueller, the special counsel, going after him personally, as in the president personally. That this was an attempt by Robert Mueller to hurt him. And that is what is behind, according to sources, what weve seen spill out on twitter, with the president saying that mueller is conflicted, even though hes a registered republican appointed by the Deputy Attorney general. Behind Sarah Sanders comments from the podium today that the president has deep concern that the Mueller Investigation is going in the wrong direction. And sources ive been speaking with close to the president say the fact that the warrant mentioned the president by name in connection to the access hollywood video, that is further proof that this is about trump in their view. Now, the special counsel declined to comment on the raid at all, but im told by sources the idea that this was just a referral from muellers team is seen as a ruse by the president and those around him. They dont buy that. They see this as one and the same, which is feeding into this anger and this consideration weve reported to fire the Deputy Attorney general, Rod Rosenstein, or even the attorney general, jeff sessions, as sort of retaliation, though those around the president are sort of trying to back him down from that saying, its bad politics. Erin . Thank you very much. All right, now lets go outfront to michael zeldin, bob muellers former special assistant at the department of justice. April ryan, White House Correspondent for american urban radio networks, and chris sweker, former assistant fbi director for the criminal investigative division. Chris, let me start with you. The big development, we now know the fbi is looking specifically for communications involving the president himself. The specific reference in the warrant to trump is the first known direct mention of the president in a search warrant. So, that is a milestone here. Obviously, we know that mention in connection with the access Hollywood Tape. How significant could this be . That he is now in by name . Well, to be clear, i think this investigation is centered on cohen and working outwards from there. So, some of the things that were seeing that are leaking out about this search warrant affidavit, which is a little unusual, in and of itself, are that the access hollywood take place, thats, you know, they wanted to get some information about that. Thats not a violation in and of itself, but it is a it is evidence of some propensity to have a wandering eye. So if youre moving over to, were there payments to silence people who had embarrassing information, it sort of corroborates that. So i would look at that as more corroborating information, as you work outwards from cohen, possibly towards the president. So, you know, weve got a separate investigation here. This is not the special counsel. I think hes showed a lot of discipline in punting this investigation up to the Southern District. Now, when you say, this was referred to the Southern District, michael, let me ask you about the timeline they just shared in part, when theyre looking at suppression of the access Hollywood Tape and what happened and whether there was anything inappropriate involving the president , the timeline is that the tape came, it first broke by the Washington Post at 4 03 p. M. Thats the first time we all heard it. The first of, i dont want know, 1 million times. At 4 30, so 27 minutes later, wikileaks posted the very first emails that had been stolen from the clinton campaign. Is that timeline, perhaps, part of what is at stake here for bob mueller . Its very hard to know, is the honest answer. You wonder, in cases like this, what is really at play here . This is a federal prosecutors office. This is not a states attorneys office. They have jurisdiction over federal crimes and this is the suppression of the access Hollywood Tape to me doesnt rise to the level of that which would warrant a search of a Lawyers Office. Nor do the, you know, sort of causal or coincidental timings of the access hollywood leak and the wikileaks communications. Remember, don jr. Was talking to wikileaks, starting around october 3rd. So also, coincidental to this. I just dont see that yet, as rising to that level. To me, this looks more like a financial crimes investigation. Remember, we have banks filing suspicious activity reports. Remember, you have bank and wire fraud also as part of this, as gloria reported. Thats right. You have bank filings suspicious activity reports on the Stormy Daniels transactions. You have the possibility of additional financial crimes related to Karen Mcdougal. Now you have access hollywood. So the if it fits into a narrative of financial crime, then maybe theres something to it. But right now, im still a little bit, you know, flummoxed by what it is that gave rise to such an aggressive action by federal prosecutors, which leads me to believe that we have some reason to think that we are just seeing the tip of the iceberg of what it is that really underlies this investigation. Interesting. The tip of the iceberg. And chris has told us over the past couple of days, as the head of the fbi investigative unit. Chris, youve been saying, its a noknock type of warrant. Where you think someone is going to destroy information, so you dont give them a second to do that. So its not done the way a normal thing would be done. Its done extremely aggressively. April, the question here is, why . You know, were talking about financial crimes and you know, youve got this timeline of whether its significant or not, who knows . But it is a pretty interesting timeline, i think to say the least about the tape and the wikileaks leaks. Because the president , when he looks at the polls, people dont seem to care about whether he paid off Stormy Daniels or had an affair with her. Obviously, the access hollywood voters already went to the polls and it showed that that did not turn Public Opinion away from him enough for him to lose the election. Right. So could he really, possibly be angrier about this than anything else if hes really just angry about the tape and women . The president is angry that this is continuing and his name is being sullied. His name has now been put in documents, as it relates to these search warrants. And not only that, hes angry because he knows that this investigation is following the trail of money that he does not want to talk about. He has not wanted to release his taxes. Thats something that mueller could possibly go into. Who knows . He might have it now. But its about following the trail of money. Things that the president has held dear, kept to his chest, he does not want to release that. And now his name has been mentioned. And yet, there is a coincidence with the alleged suppression and the releasing of the wikileaks emails. But this is not a winning picture for the president and its getting closer and closer to things that he holds dear, money, and it could even get closer to family, as well. Chris, you know, when april talks about following the money trail, the question i have here is, we know that they took everything from michael cohen, right . They took every file he had, whether it was related to Stormy Daniels, Karen Mcdougal, access hollywood or Something Else, right . Even though we understand that the focus was perhaps these the women and the tapes. If they find Something Else in the other material that is completely unrelated to what they think they looking for, but it is a crime. It is a financial crime, is it fair . Is it now fair game because they have the material . Absolutely. They could find evidence of money laundering. Every time you have if you have wire fraud or bank fraud, now youve got illicit proceeds. And if youre zbidisguising tha and moving it through to another transaction or any type of transaction involving those funds, thats money laundering. Thats a 20year count. Serious stuff. Wow. The ironic thing is you could follow the special prosecutor here or the special counsel, but you would have to fire chris wray, because this is being handled by fbi main out of fbi headquarters. And you know, the Fbi Field Office in new york. So firing the special counsel would do nothing here. You know, erin, one final thing here, this investigation speaks to the need for the president to have good counsel. Because there is no reason why the president should not have already moved for a protective order with respect to those seized documents. If they contain communications between him and his lawyer, they should be seized and quarantined and a special master appointed by the magistrate to look at these and take out that stuff which is privileged, from that which is not privileged. Its unfathomable to me how theyre proceeding in this case, just unfathomable. All right, well, thank you very much. Of course, we know, he has one personal lawyer, jake sekulow representing him. And obviously, many others have refused to do so. So he doesnt have a lot of Legal Counsel on this. Thank you all very much. And next, Republican Leaders having dinner with the president as i speak. One topic apparently deemed inappropriate to raise, the possibility that trump might fire bob mueller. They all look pretty happy. Plus, a republican defender of the president goes rogue. Why one member of congress is reportedly calling trump a bleepi bleeping idiot and saying he would vote to impeach him. And trump warning russia that missiles are coming to syria by tweet. Why did he do it before he even had any plan to do it . I can do more to lower my a1c. Because my body can still make its own insulin. And i take trulicity once a week to activate my body to release it, like its supposed to. Trulicity is not insulin. It comes in a onceweekly, truly easytouse pen. And it works 24 7.

Serious side effects may include pancreatitis. Taking trulicity with a sulfonylurea or insulin increases your low blood sugar risk. Common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and decreased appetite. These can lead to dehydration, which may worsen kidney problems.
