Secrets. The latest accusation, President Trump knew his son was going to meet with a kremlinlinked lawyer offering dirt on Hillary Clinton. Cnn broke the story, nbc news and our corporate cousins at the wall street journal say they report the same thing. The president s form attorney and fixer Michael Cohen claims he was in the room when President Trump found out about the trump tower meeting. Cohen is willing to give that information to the special counsel, robert mueller. Thats the report. The meeting happened in june of 2016. Donald trump jr. , President Trumps soninlaw, Jared Kushner and former Trump Campaign chairman, paul manafort, all met with a russian lawyer. Trump jr. s own emails show that he knew the lawyer was offering damaging intelligence on Hillary Clinton and responded i love it. Muellers team is looking to the sit down as part of the investigation into Russian Election interference and whether members of the trump team colluded with moscow. President trump said there was no collusion. He denied knowing about the trump tower meeting ahead of time. Today he tweeted i didnt know of the meeting with any son, don jr. Sounds like someone is trying to make up stories to get himself out of an unrelated jam. Taxi cab money, maybe i should say. He said he retailed crooked hillarys lawyer. Gee, i wonder if they helped him make the choice. Taxi cabs is a reference to one of cohens business that the feds are apparently investigating. Cohens attorney released a secret recording of cohen and President Trump discussing a possible payment involving a playmates claim of an affair with the president. The president denies there was an affair and the lawyer said the payment never happened. Again. The headline today, the former fixing could be selling out his former boss to the feds. Rick leventhal has more. The message from the white house is Michael Cohen cant be trusted. He taped people without their knowledge. Hes a liar and hes incredible. The New York Post is that candidate trump was aware of the trump tower meeting before it happened claiming he was in the room when donald trump jr. Told his father about it and says the future president approved it. Trump jr. Has repeatedly denied this on television and congressional hearings and his lawyer backed him up in a state writing trump jr. Has been professional throughout the investigations. Were confident of the accuracy and reliability of the information that has been provided by mr. Trump jr. And on his behalf. On cnn last night, rudy guliani said cohen is the kind of witness who could destroy muellers whole case. I expected Something Like this from cohen. Hes been lying all week, for years. The tapes that we have demonstrate any number of very serious lies by him back 1 1 2 years ago, including his fooling people, hiding tape recordings, telling them they werent recorded. Breaking face with them. Taping his client, which is a disbarable offense. I dont see how he has any credibility. If you had a trail and there wont be a trial, youd say which lie do you want to pick . Of course, the president trusted cohen for years. Now shep, he says he was dooped. Shepard rick, were learning more about the russian operative that met with donald trump jr. Yes, shes denied working closely with moscow telling congress she operated independently of any government bodies. The Associated Press said they reviewed scores of emails and documents and discovered that she worked as a ghost writer for the government and admitted to nbc that she worked as an informant for the kremlin. The a. P. Found almost no documents about that trump tower meeting to lead up or aftermath. She told congress the meeting didnt amount to much and she wanted it to go away as soon as possible. Shepard Rick Leventhal live in new york. Thank you. The lawyer representing the porn stare that says she has president with President Trump says he has three other clients who claim they had affairs with the president as well. So far youll have to take his word for it. Stormy daniels Attorney Michael Avenatti tweeted last night three additional women, all paid hush money through various means. Time for Michael Cohen and donald trump to come 100 clean with the american people. All the documents, all the tapes now. No more lies or lip service. Enough. Michael avenatti has not given the names of his new clients. He says he has evidence to back up the claims but not at liberty to share it. President trump has denied the affair with stormy daniels. The president said he was unaware of the 130,000 in hush money that his former fixer Michael Cohen said he paid stormy daniels. Cohens current later lanny davis replied to the claims of three more affairs saying mr. Avenatti is an aggressive attorney doing his job in the middle of litigation. Take that heat. Take from that what you will. We could see two more summits between President Trump and Vladimir Putin. The russian president has extended an invitation. Mr. President , President Trump come to moscow. The white house says the president is open to going if he gets a formal invitation. President trump has i should say president putin says hes ready to visit washington under appropriate conditions. The white house said a meeting in the fall and then it should happen when the investigation is done, the Russian Investigation or as President Trump called it the witch hunts sometime next year. Chris wallace interviewed president putin in helsinl sisi has a lot coming up with President Trumps lawyer, rudy guliani this month. Off to moscow. What do you say . [speaking russian]. Im up for another trip. Id love to go back. Maybe sit down with president putin. I will tell you, one of the things ive learned is that originally President Trump wanted the first meeting with president putin to be in washington. Putin pushed back and said look, you guyed have sanctioned my country and me up to my eyeballs. We cant have the first summit in your background. Thats why they head it in helsinki. After that, it was anticipated there would be reciprocal summits, one in washington, one next spring and a followone in moscow. That isnt so unusual. Thats the way reagan and gorbachev did it in the 80s. Shepard what sort of reaction is this getting around town there . Look, you know, theres a conflict about this. Nobody is upset with the idea that President Trump and president putin are meeting. A lot of issues to discussion. A lot of differences to resolve. So in that sense, theres no distress about it at all. Obviously there was a lot of distress about the way President Trump handled the News Conference after his summit with president putin. So that adds to a little concern about what would happen in future summits. Shepard there was a lot of concern after that summit. We heard people saying there would be resignations. People will care about the country, stand up to him. I didnt see a thing happen. No. Look, you can argue a lot of aspects of this. On the other hand, i have talked to one official that was very deeply involved in the summit and was getting a lot of calls to resign. He said look, im doing good work for the country. I think im helping to protect the country. Why would i resign . How would that help . Either in terms of the conduct of Foreign Policy or our relations with russia. I will tell you, there is a sense among some american officials that the meeting between President Trump and president putin went off very much as planned and was a productive meeting, the oneonone meeting and the bilateral meeting. It was the News Conference that this particular official said went off the tracks when President Trump in effect equated the claims of the u. S. Intelligence community that putin had meddled in the 2016 election. He said up till that point and obviously that was a Public Relations disaster. He said the actual substance of the summit was very productive. Shepard guliani this weekend. What is the plan there . Well shepard its been a roller coaster. Shepard well have a exclusive interview that we just locked down with steven mnuchin, the treasury secretary. A lot to talk to him about. First of all, these very strong gdp numbers. 4. 1 . The big question there, is it sustainable . Is it a oneoff, a blip or a sign of Better Things to come . Obviously the trade war and the deal, how big a deal with it with the european union. As far as guliani is concerned, you put your finger on it at the top of the show. You have this extraordinary face off with donald trump and the man that used to be his personal lawyer, his personal fixer that appears as the federal government squeezed him over a separate investigation to have decided to flip to try to save his own skin by providing whatever information he can about donald trump. One assumes that as his personal lawyer and fixer potentially he could have damaging information. On the other hand, this disclosure that he says that President Trump knew about the russia trump tower meeting in 2016 when it took place, one, were told that he doesnt have any proof of it. Its his word against the president. You can say that is worth what its worth. In addition, im not sure if the president did know about it that its damaging to him politically. Could be damaging to donald jr. He testified under oath before the Senate Judiciary committee. Im not sure its damaging to donald trump. Did he potentially lie to the New York Times . Yeah. But the last time i checked, thats not something to be praised or admired. Its not illegal. Shepard no, not a crime to lie to the times. Hope you have a great weekend. Well be watching. Thank you, shep. Shepard up next, the Trump Organizationist finance sheets. Heard about this one . A man the feds called to testify before the grand jury. Details on his decades with the trumps and what he could have to share with the special counsel. Thats coming up from the fox news deck on this friday afternoon. Great to have you in.

Shepard were learning more about the Trump Organizations top money man after the feds called him to testify before a grand jury. His name, alan wieselberg. Our corporate cousins broke the story. They quote a source that describes him, im quoting here the most senior person in the organization that is not a trump. His connection to the trumps the date back decades. He worked for the Real Estate Firm trumps father owned. He over saw many of the personal dealings, household expenses, boats, planes, mostly everything. Now hes linked to the hush money payment for a porn star and talk about a possible payment to a play made. What is clear is how close he is to the trump family. Theres no disputing that. President trump wrote way back in 2004, alan has been with me for 30 years. He knows how to get things done. Now its more than 40 years. Lets turn to Nicholas Johnson from axios. Hes live from d. C. Good to see you. How are you . Shepard what is the thinking on mr. Weisselberg and what he might contribute . I thought the way Chris Wallace led us is great with Michael Cohen. He was subpoenaed and became entrapped in this investigation, that was a big deal because he knew so much, this is the next level of that. The president this is the president s personal financier. This is a momentous change to the investigation as far as what kind of access what kind of information the federal investigators will have access to. The one thing we have never seen from President Trump, his tax returns. This is a guy that may filled them out. He knows a lot about what is unknown. Shepard and theres no attorneyaccountant privilege. Whatever he knows i presume theyll get from him. I mean, if he wants to tell them. Hes been subpoenaed. Hes compelled to testify. Theres no fifth amendment protections if youre talking about other peoples wrong doings. Only protects yourself. So if the federal prosecutors are following the money, this is the guy theyll have to talk to to keep track of it. Shepard 12 or 13 people alleging some sort of something with the man that would be president. Now we have a porn start a playmate and three more who were told are claiming that they got some sort of hush money. Yeah. This is the way that investigators go. You star on the outside and peel back the layers. You get the people very far away from the far get and you flip them. They may have been accused of purge any and theyll start telling you things. This happened with cohen. Remember, he used to say he would take a bullet for the president. Now he says hes only looking out for himself, his family and his country. As these rings get closer, theyre at the person that is the most senior in the Trump Organization that doesnt have the last name trump. Shepard has the concern level based on your organization changed at pennsylvania avenue . We havent gotten any in the last 24 hours. They were starting to get worried about cohen. Were on the lookout to see if brings up a red alert level in the white house. Shepard good to talk to you. Thank you. A pleasure. Shepard Nicholas Johnson from axios. Ahead as President Trump and Vladimir Putin talk about getting to in moscow, democrats and republicans in the house are joining together to push back against russia. Ive just gotten notice from our friends at the New York Post, which is owned by the Parent Company of this network, which is our corporate cousin, there has been an Enormous Development in the state of new york. The former head of the new York State Assembly has just gotten very bad news. Stay with us. Come away with me barnabas but i am a simple farmer. My life is here. [telephone ring] ahoyhoy. Alexander graham bell here. No, no, my number is one, you must want two two, i say like my father before. [telephone ring] like my father before.

Great to have epix . Open this. Youd laugh. Youd cry. Dont you think i had dreams and hopes. What about my life . What about me . Maybe even laugh while crying. So you know, even if youre a psychopath, it touches your heart. Sounds pretty great, right . Were on to something. Come on. And the best part is its easy to upgrade. Just say, add epix. Epix has a whole lot more. Whoa shepard as the president takes steps to improve the United States relationship with russia, house lawmakers are sending a strong message to moscow. Jennifer griffin has that from the pentagon. Hello, jen. What is interesting about the bill, which the senate votes on next week, republicans and democrats agree the provisions targeting russia and china are large enough to send a strong message the u. S. Military means business. Theres literally dozens of provisions that deal with russia. Whether its increasing the credibility of our nuclear deterrent, which russian has openly threatened to use in a conventional war. We also strengthen the Global Engagement center at the state department, which is in charge of pushing back against the propaganda that is coming from russia. Some of the provisions may tie the hands of the president in the wake of the helsinki summit. The top democrat adam schiff praised the bill for pushing back against president putins alliance. The bill prohibits military to military cooperation with russia to include syria, prohibits u. S. Government recognition of the absorption of crimea and increases the number of u. S. Troops in europe to deter russian aggression, shepard. Shepard theres a china component to, right . Thats right. Theres long in the bill prohibiting the government from doing bit with chinas state telecom, dte. Perhaps most important, however, the increased focus on crucial readiness issues, a 716 billion authorizes upgrades to the nuclear triad, buys a new aircraft carrier, 65 million for low yield submarine launc
