Must be talking to don jr. So he erased them. The expert is going through them trying to figure out a few things like is is a recording of a recording . That he cut it off at the time the . Did to go back to laboratory whatever he had and cut it off . Harris it didnt stop there, also went after cohen reclaim the president knew about that 2016 trump tower meeting between Trump Campaign officials and a russian attorney. Giuliani says its flatout not true. Is wild, crazy, and are out of their minds. He did not participate in any meeting of the russian transaction. The other meeting said he was never there. At least four separate witnesses who say that against a guy who has been proven to be one of the biggest liars in america. Harris one top democrat is not dismissing Michael Cohens
allegations. Senator Patrick Leahy says its time for donald trump jr. To come back before the Senate Judiciary committee to answer them, but this time in public under oath. What do you think . Where are we . Is the story moving forward where we mired in an angry x attorney . Guy i can tell you this. A place at the president does not want to be is having his current Attorney Firing back at his longtime attorney. Its not a healthy spot for team trump because Michael Cullen was a trusted fixer and attorney and confidant for many years for President Trump prior to him being president and if he has decided it is in his interest to flip on trump whether hes telling the new truths or inventing new stories to help his own self, save his own skin, and that is a war of words that is not particularly helpful to trump. For example, watching Rudy Giuliani go on tv and pursing whether certain recordings cut off at a certain time and asking why thats the case, not a
A news show featuring the top headlines of the day from pop culture to politics, which are discussed by a rotating panel of four women and one man. He is constantly contradicting himself on television. A couple months ago, he called Michael Cohen an honest man. Harris he did not know about this tape and thats what hes been saying. Adrienne now hes disparaging the credibility of the tape. I think the last person who donald trump and his current attorney would want to criticize is Michael Cullen. Michael cohen knows a lot. Its been his attorney for years. Kennedy they were so terrified and obviously the president and his associates know the content of the meetings that they have with Michael Cohen in his office and some of the phone conversations, if they were so worried, thats where you would come up with radio silence. Not necessarily from democrats. Harris whatever is gettable, he wants it. Speaking whenever i hear the clinton cleaner out there defending the trump, my ears, i just feel like i want to watch them out with something because its also tawdry. Lindsey graham said earlier over the weekend when he said ive been a lawyer for a long time and ive never seen a lawyer behave this way talking about cohen and the fact that he recorded all of these conversations with clients and now hes saying the reason why he did this is because he like to record things rather than taking notes. I dont buy that, thats not what lawyers do. Harris our senior judicial analyst here at fox news said. He has said that it is actually not rare that people would do this because of the phone devices that people might record to help take notes. It makes it easier contemporaneously. You can get an assistant to help you transcribe. They said it wasnt uncommon. Guy is an interesting conversation to have about the tape because of the president s voice on one of them. Harris wouldnt you tell the president that you were recording him if he were his
confidant . Guy you assume trump would be understandably upset to learn that he was surreptitiously recorded by his own attorney and that tape is now leaking to cnn. As a nightmare scenario. I just want to make one point, rudy now has gone on tv twice today on our network and another one saying that collusion is not a crime. Was is a change or a pivot from there is no collusion. And im sitting here watching rudy and im wondering is this rudy being the pundit or is this a new legal strategy . They have insisted and sworn top to bottom there was no collusion, and if the president top lawyer now is out there ceding this messaging on television that collusion wouldnt be a crime, that seems like a bit of a change and on fox friends, rudy said President Trump was not at that meeting. Donald trump was not at that meeting. That was never the allegation. Not that he was there, thats an odd denial of something that no one is alleging. Adrienne you bring up such a great point because it is
sit down for an interview with a Special Counsel. Here is giuliani earlier. Are you still having negotiations with his team . Not yet. Those are yet not . We havent heard anything, i dont know why. They can write a report without him, they do not need President Trumps they have two aspects of this. Collusion, they have his side of the story. Even as russian meeting, im happy to tell them he wasnt there. Harris all this is new polling from cbs news shows many of the president s supporters have his back in the Russian Investigation was about 70 calling the Russian Investigation now the witch hunts. And this comes as the president goes on the attack on the Special Counsel again, it happened yesterday, he tweeted this. There is no collusion. The Robert Mueller rigged witch hunts headed now by 17 angry democrats was started by a fraudulent dossier paid for by
cricket hillary and the dnc. Therefore, the witch hunt is an illegal scam. Just real quickly, that number increased from 13 angry democrats including one Obama White House attorney to now 17, just clarifying that. Is Robert Mueller ever going to release his conflicts of interest with respect to President Trump including the fact that we had a very nasty and contentious Business Relationship . I turned him down to head the fbi. One day before the appointment as Special Counsel. In our own chief White House Correspondent john roberts says while there are still discussions on going, the president s legal team is now leaning toward not having the president sit down for an interview. I dont know that changes much. The facts are fresh. Guy will her wand has been the ongoing saga now for months. I feel like ive been sitting on his Couch Debating whether he will earn will not. Harris the president said it politically. I havent heard in attorney say its a great idea to sit down. Guy will go out there and say id love to talk to him. Every attorney has said do not do that so i would be very surprised of this interview were to happen. Theres a lot to unpack there in the president s tweets, im confused about what this nasty conflict that he is alleging no now. At a golf club is something that we are hearing about. If the idea was that Robert Mueller was too biased to preside over this investigation because of golf club fees disputes from years ago, its odd to bring that up now, the highlight that. Melissa weve heard that before but im really stuck on what you said before because now i heard really giuliani, it sticks out like a sore thumb. When he said it again, he wasnt at the meeting. So hes now saying that intentionally like that was a mistake, he sang it intentionally to different places, probably means he knew about the meeting other change changing the wording now. Kennedy is also talking about the parameters of collusion. That has been the basis of his
negotiation with muellers team. We will talk about collusion, we will not talk about obstruction. If you remember, the 50 questions that were leaked to the potential he came from federal counsel, it was how did you feel when Jeff Sessions offered his resignation . How did you feel when you heard that George Papadopoulos was drunk and very chatty with London Business executives . Harris i just love to hear kennedy do this. Kennedy it seems like an amateur therapist talking you about your fees and not the president of the United States. Guy it was like a paraphrase. Adrienne it was not leaked from mueller, exactly. Kennedy it also wasnt refuted from muellers team. Harris absolutely fair and true. We talk about his team not having any leaks. Kennedy he has come out. Harris she cant do the other 47 questions. I just kind of want to get an idea because we saw a lot of twitter activity from the
president , and weve heard from his attorneys, you pointed out twice on a monday already, so what does that tell us about what we know . Melissa it is very aggressive, mix if you like something is coming. Harris thats a Rudy Giuliani homework, that aggressive legal appetite. Speak your thinking maybe this is a result of doing too many interviews too early in the morning or a little bit all over the place but its consistently different now. Adrienne i think were looking at two things here, number one looking at a president who feels like the laws of back are closing in. Harris thats from a democrat perspective. You seem to link this investigation is just going to end. Adrienne we will see. Harris he is also looking at the president s tweets which ive had Legal Professionals tell me that that length of the investigation but by all means, go right ahead. Adrienne im just saying
what i think could be happening, who knows . To the point you just made, muellers team has not leaked anything and they have been radio silent. So first of all, from a democratic perspective, the president feel like the walls are closing in. Secondly, he is also delivering red meat to his base to try to solidify their support has a go into the midterms. Guy there is a chance that this is a frantic effort from the president s team. The walls are closing in, they really scared. Over this president loves brawling, getting out there defending himself, throwing punches or muddying the waters and getting walking over here and having exactly this conversation. Adrienne i dont think thats a smart move. Harris like i wouldve been just a few hours ago but theres no evidence of collusion. Rudy giuliani and his comments have now gotten all of us to talk about even if there is, is not a crime which is completely different and that would be a shift if he wasnt just a thing. The president and Congressional Republicans or does this simply fire up the base . Joe manchin said to be the first democrat senator to sit down with the president Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. This is this is Senate Minority leader Chuck Schumer works to block that nomination. How this could affect vulnerable democrats. Harris Breaking News is happening, italys Prime Minister arriving at the white house. Italys Prime MinisterGiuseppe Conte said to be perhaps the closest of allies in europe to support this president , but he is facing an interesting political ground where he is in italy, antiestablishment forces wanting things like closing the door to migrants and questioning the ground rules of italys relationship with the European Union and in favor of closer ties to russia. Those two men now meeting inside the white house, will bring you the news on it as it goes. Melissa in the meantime, senator joe manchin from West Virginia is scheduled to meet with Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh a short time from now, this will make him the First Senate Democrat to do so. Joe manchin is facing a tough
election battle in a state that president won by a huge margin. The meeting comes a Senate Minority leader Chuck Schumer is reportedly pushing red state democrats to hold back any support for Brett Kavanaugh as long as possible. Schumer is also calling for the release of cavanaughs time in the white house where he worked his Legal Counsel and Staff Secretary. This morning, Senate Majority number said he will try to delay the process until that demand is met. Watch. The question is what theyre hiding, what are they concealin concealing. I will meet this with mark nominee and will certainly urge my colleagues to vote against him if we are denied those documents. Melissa in the meantime, Senate Republican is warning against an expedition saying they should request documents only relevant to who to who is potential Supreme Court service. I want to ask you about this. If so a bunch of these documents have to do with the time when he was Staff Secretary at the
white house. They say that job is somewhat called it a paper pusher, thats not quite what that is but theyre saying that his job was to not about providing advice, that what it was about is making sure all the documents that were coming from different parts of the Executive Branch that were supposed to get in front of the president got in front of the president and he saw them and then it has nothing to do with his legal thinking. He didnt have any say over how the documents were constructed or what was in them, he was just responsible for getting them to the president. Guy they should strike an agreement about a reasonable document request from the Bush Administration era days but keep in mind, judge kavanaugh has sat on the d. C. Circuit now for 12 years. That is the body of work that is most relevant to his nomination to the u. S. Supreme court. I think its interesting to see him as the first democrat to come in this guy has been a nominee for a month, the democrats are finally getting around to actually meet with him and he is in a very tough spot because there was a poll that came out that polled four red states that democrats currently
hold one senate seat in. Three of them are up for reelection this year, in West Virginia, his state by 25point margin. The people of that state want to see him confirmed. In north dakota, which is where Heidi Heitkamp is running for reelection, it is plus 38 in favor of kavanaughs confirmation and also a big Double Digit Number in alabama and indiana as well. There was going to be immense pressure brought to bear on these red state democrats from the republican party, from their opponents, and meanwhile Chuck Schumer is over here saying please give us time for a fishing expedition, they have nothing, lets be honest. And if they want to find something to hang their hat on and theyre asking these red state democrats to march along with schumer and company to give them that the lang. Harris are not just asking them, look at dick durbin, look at some of the other democrats. They are saying will fall on your sword for the cause. What is the cause exactly when you have opportunity, youre looking at a nominee that has
300 opinions that you could read through. Lets say you do get all those documents, i dont know if you can read it all by october 1st bill is not protest too much because i dont think anybody read all of that health care legislation. But you look at these things and democrats have an opportunity to get on the record and meet with him and ask all the questions. Its money, its dirty. In adrienne first of all, i think everything a United States senator regardless of Party Affiliation said meet with him. But of course, democrats and the public and should be doing the same thing. We want as much information as we can get on him, that includes his emails and documents from his time in the Bush Administration. When elena kagan was going through her Supreme Court nomination, the tables were turned and republicans sought as much information on her. Harris they met with her, was of the situation where a month and we are waiting for one im a guy her position was Solicitor General which is popular for the u. S. Government
who argues for the supreme cour. The job was specifically related to working the Supreme Court. Adrienne you should certainly make the argument that his time is very applicable. Harris i think others are making that argument which is directly why they went to george w. Bush to find out if he would release the paperwork that they are looking for. Melissa it seems like a ridiculous question with the Staff Secretary. That stuff has nothing to do with his legal perspective. It was a
