Coverage of national and international news, including breaking stories. Question, will any of these claims stick without providing tangible evidence . I think thats the question everyone is asking. Its interesting because shes kind of going back and forth. She says well, i heard the tape, but i dont have the tape and i think thats the issue. I mean, shes going back to, you know, president trumps days working on the aparen tigs and you know, we remember his days when he was on the apprentice, that infamous access Hollywood Tape that had such a huge impact on the campaign. This probably wont stick unless something is released but i think something i want to really stress is omarosa is not the First White House aide to turn on a president. We had Scott Mcclellan with bush and i think the difference here is how, you know, how people have how sources have said that she was treated so poorly when she left the white house and even during her time at the white house. Her role was considered nebulous. We didnt really know exactly what she was doing or really
could pinpoint her, i guess how she was carrying out the agenda in the white house and i think a lot of other people who have worked in trumps orbit, who worked in the campaign but were really pushed aside before going into the white house have really expressed the frustration with how they were treetsated. So i dont know how this would have all played out if omarosa wasnt treated as badly when she left or maybe when she was working at the white house. Im sure it would have been a different book by then. Well, kevin, theres also reports about omarosa secretly recording private conversations with the president. The Washington Post say they have listened which match the books excerpts. Heres what Anthony Scaramucci had to say. My guess is probably nothing on those tapes and certainly even though shes writing a book which i think shes really trying to be objective in the book i think shes very loyal to
the president. I talked to omarosa yesterday. She loves the the president and the president s family. And i dont think theres anything in those tapes that are going to be explosive or nefarious but i dont like the notion if it is true i didnt ask her if it is or it isnt. I dont like the notion that people are taping him. Kevin, first is scaramucci right saying theres probably nothing explosive on those recordings because we would have heard about it by now . Well, i mean people have been recording him now for quite some time. Look, with regards to omarosa i think this is someone who has proven over the course of her career to have a political reality, Television Show type of personality in which shes been able to stay relevant but i want to speak to what julia mentioned in terms of the tension within the administration previously from the campaign to when it became the administration and now into the first term and that is there is this inherent tension between folks who were outside of the political
establishment, people like omarosa, people who were around people like Michael Cohen who were around the Trump Organization and when he was launching into that Reality Television career versus the more Establishment Type of washingtonians. That was on full display and what you saw was lewandowski out, Michael Cohen flipped and youve seen some of those original folks completely remove them now and the Establishment Types won here inside of the beltway. I want to turn to this real quick. The president s attorneys Rudy Giuliani and jay sekulow hosted an entire broadcast talking about the mueller investigation. How unusual is that and what stood out to you most from their conversation . Well, its certainly unusual but i think it fits with president trump, like his pr and
how he works with sean hannity. Hes a huge outlet to conservatives but to Trump Supporters and putting jay sekulow and Rudy Giuliani was a way of trying to communicate to them their view on the investigation, try to, i guess dismiss the legitimacy of it, try to put their view out there, try to reassure a lot of Trump Supporters ahead of the midterms, you know, ahead of 2020 saying, to dismiss it, to make them feel better essentially. Some of the points that stood out to me were the points about comey and clinton. I think its interesting because these two individuals suck low and giuliani dont work in i guess a political capacity you could say in the white house. Theyre representing the president from a legal perspective so interesting to see them kind of delve into this other realm. Its not the first time giuliani has done it. Hes been going on Cable News Circuit for weeks now saying this type of stuff. Thanks so much. Thank you. Why the Manafort Trial was delayed four hours on friday. That story up next.

Were following Breaking News this morning from the seattle area where an Airline Ground agent stole an empty commuter Turbo Prop Plane and flew it about an hour before it crashed on a small island and exploded into flames. At this point it appears that no one on the ground was hurt. Joining me now is our aviation analyst john cox and what are your thoughts about what occurred here . Well, first i was very, very surprised to read about this this morning. This is a really unusual set of circumstances. And this individual that was reportedly a Ground Service agent, for him to be able to get
the airplane started and to taxi it and take it off and fly it, that takes a lot of Specialized Knowledge and i was very surprised that this occurred. So john, tell me, what do you make of the fact that he wasnt a pilot but that he was able to fly that plane . Well, he indicates when hes talking to air Traffic Control that he has quote, played a lot of video or flown a lot of video games and i guess that gave him the basic knowledge, but it surprised me because the q 400 turbo prop, its a pretty complex airplane and it requires a lot of things to be done in a specific sequence to get the engine started and you know, to take off and to get the controls unlocked and all of those sorts of things. I was surprised that he was actually able to do that. Its rather amazing if you say you can corelate a video game to being inside the cockpit of a q 400. So what would it take for him to get it off the ground . One of the big things is getting the engines started. They require a specific sequence of events, levers to be moved to get the Airplane Engines both running and capable of producing thrust for takeoff. And he did that. And then in addition and we dont know whether he had the flaps configured or takeoff and all of the other things, we dont know that yet. We will when the Flight Data Recorder is read out so he taxied out on to a runway, he found that runway, air Traffic Control is calling repeat edly trying to figure out who that is and trying to get it air born so its a lot of i guess the video games he was pretty careful about and i think he had probably preplanned this to be able to look and say okay, where is there an airplane that i can get access to where somebody
else another employee wont challenge me. So i think there were some planning that went into it in advance. And john, as a Ground Control employee, would he have been able to be watching pilots or have any exposure to pilots to know how to turn on this plane and get it moving . I guess thats possible. If he was looking very carefully, but he would not be authorized to ride on the jump seat or anything like that, so he may have been able to watch if he knew somebody that was a private pilot fly a smaller aircraft but that wouldnt have given him the specific knowledge of how to start a q 400. And john, i do want to ask you, is there anything that could have prevented this . Well, we dont know yet. The investigation is just Getting Started and theyre going to look very carefully at if there was a breach of any of the Security Processes and procedures, but as an employee of the airline he has been
background checked. Hes been vetted. He is known to people and an Airline Employees walk back and forth and get on and off of planes quite frequently. This is when the maintenance is done and the cleaning is done so having a valid airline id would allow him access to the airplane which is appropriate, but the investigation is going to look into all of those things to see if there was a way that this could have been prevented, but as i say, the investigation is just Getting Started so we ned to let that process unfold. Right. And john, we heard earlier him speaking with the tower and he complained after light headedness. Would that be something happening possibly with the plane if he had done something wrong with the instruments . I if he was light headed i think it was probably more from adrenaline. He was down low enough where the Pressurization System would not have mattered. The q 400 is pressurized because it flies up to 25,000 feet but hes not that high so i think its a higher likelihood that just the sensory overload and the adrenaline that he would have been experiencing, that may have accounted for his comment about the light headedness. Quite an amazing night there. Thank you so much for joining us this morning. An hours long delay in the Paul Manafort trial. What was behind it and whether this is unusual. Sfx [cell phone dialing]
get ready to switch. Protected by flo. Should say, protected by alan and jamie. Right . Should it . When you bundle home and auto. Run, alan . You get more than just savings. You get roundtheclock protection. What does it signify . They can be typical and if youre an outsider or somebody watching you may never find out what exactly happened but it may have happened to do with Something Like jurors. Even the tiniest thing with jurors can blow up into a multihour ordeal. Anything that tends to show the jurors bias, information from outside sources, concealment of information during voir dire, these are all things that can potentially launch a Multihour Investigation and many conferences with each side, the attorneys, who will then decide whether or not this juror should be bounced or whether its safe to keep them. And this week the New York Times reported that the Special Counsel rejected the latest terms for an interview with the russia investigation. Is the president entitled to a narrow path for answering
questions . No other defendant in the federal system has been entitled to anything when it comes to an interview and any assistant u. S. Attorney will tell you that that theyve never considered negotiating the terms of an interview and They Wouldnt Dream of running it up the Chain Of Command to ask whether or not hey, instead of sitting down with this person, can we submit written questions. Someones career would be over in the u. S. Attorneys office if they did Something Like that. So but with the president , we are on totally new ground. Were in new territory, maybe he is the one person who can negotiate the terms of an interview or even questions be they written or oral. But based on the 99. 9 of all other defendants who have come before the doj in my experience i would say the likelihood of being able to limit an interview is 0. 0. An op ed written for theWashington Post in which he writes enough is enough. Its time to subpoena the president. Is that the only option left . It may be the only option but mueller may not take that option because it may cause too much especially if mueller believes that the president cannot be subpoenaed and cannot be held in contempt for failure to comply which the weight of the law appears to tend to show that he can be subpoenaed although its been untested but it may ultimately be a judgment call by mueller. He may decide that hey, i cant take this Addition Step or i dont need to because i have all the other information that i need and i dont necessarily want to wade into the hornets nest that would be trying to subpoena the president. But i want to make very clear that in terms of negotiating power, mueller holds most, if not all of the cards here. Danny, great to have you here, im sure well be watching this trial go on for a while. Thanks for joining me on this saturday morning. And that will do it for me. Thank you for watching. Stay with us.
