And people are exhausted. Trump did respond to Michael Cohens plea today. This morning he wrote if anyone is looking for a good lawyer, i would strongly suggest that you dont retain the services of Michael Cohen and Michael Cohen plead guilty to two counts of Campaign Finance violations that are not a crime. President obama had a big Campaign Finance violation and it was easily settled. Trump also spoke to fox news about his relationship with Michael Cohen. He was a lawyer for me for one of many, you know, there was a lawyer and the fixer. I dont know if he was a fixer. I dont know where that term came from, but hes didnt do big deals. Did small deals. Not somebody that was with me that much. You know, they make it sound like i didnt live without him. I understood Michael Cohen very well. Turned out he wasnt a very good lawyer, frankly. He was somebody that was probably with me for about ten
take this all together this being the president of the United States after all. The Washington Post called out the president for his various explanations about these payments. Tonight calling them lies. Nevertheless, at the white house today, press secretary sara sanders gave a repeated defense of the president. As the president said, weve stated many times he did nothing wrong. There are no charms charges against him. Just because Michael Cohen made a plea deal, doesnt mean it implicates the president on anything. The president does nothing wrong. Im not going to give you a different answer. The president has done nothing wrong. There are no charges against him. Theres no collusion. Thats what i can tell you. The president hasnt forgotten about Paul Manafort, who was convicted yesterday of banking and tax fraud and faces
Brian Williams examines the days top political stories and current politicalcampaign news. Been far more subdued the last day or so. Hes distracted. Angry behind closed doors about what happened. Particularly on the cohen matter. He was able to sort of maintain at the rally. He didnt speak about either man while on stage in west virginia. But today, of course, we saw him start venting. He started on twitter. Including the tweet about if youre looking for a good lawyer, dont go to Michael Cohen. I think its one of his better efforts of late. And then, you know, he continued on ward. We have the moment of sara sanders the repetition of the president didnt do anything wrong. Hes not charged of a crime. The issue is with our reporting theres not much of a Battle Plan There yet. They put together some talking points. They barely circulated them. Rudy is golfing in scotland. Relatively m. I. A. Today compared to what he usually is when hes trying to hit back against something threatening the
president. Theyre still reeling. Peter, your paper was fresh reporting tonight that this was a consequential event yesterday. Two of them, actually, and this is a subdued president adding to the sense the feeling of moment. No question about it. This is a day that sort of put the question of impeachment on the table in a way it hadnt been before. Any white house, of course, would be reeling as jonathan describes given that political reality. Now that the Republican Congress is going to necessarily take up that kind of action against him but it reinforces the consequences and the stakes involved in this fall Midterm Elections that now is on the table. Allegations against the president Go Beyond The Russia Case where there has been, you know, no firm conclusion by prosecutors yet of, you know, allegations the president has done participated in something that is a crime by his
personal lawyer. That changes things. And that now, for the next two months, until the election, youre going to hear a lot of discussion about what the proper remedy is. Sara sanders says the president hasnt been charged with any crimes. This is the same white house that said the president cant be charged with any crimes. Under the constitution, their theory, anyway, and the Justice Department prevailing policy is the president is not capable of being indicted while in office. Thats not telling us anything. The real question, again, comes to congress and the political process and the midterms being held in the next couple of months. Carol, youve covered Law Enforcement and justice for a long time. Perhaps without knowing how exciting the beat might become someday. You have your own reporting for the Washington Post tonight on Michael Cohen specifically. Walk us through the condensed version of what he might know and what might have motivated this decision by him. What he might know is something his attorney has
described in many different ways over the course even of today. So sometimes thats a moving target, brian. But as for what has happened with his Plea Agreement, it came together rather rapidly starting after basically late july. Its not very common for a Plea Agreement to come together in two, three, four weeks. Thats really what happened here. And he was under a lot of pressure. He was facing potentially decades in prison. Based on charges that he lied on Numerous Bank forms. Line of credit. He lied to get, you know, millions of dollars in loans. And he also faced the potential threat that his family was in danger because some of those loans were ones his wife might have actually been a part of or a party to. And what he decided, and a lot of people would say he made the right call, when he decided was to go for the cap on the amount
of time hed spend in prison. Instead of 40 or 50 years, hes limited this to five. Hes agreed to plead to three different categories of charges. And the weakest of the charges is the most explosive. The Campaign Finance violations. Jonathan, theres no other way to ask this except to ask it. And that is what is the level of concern among the folks you talk to that this president ial term does not end at its organic calendar scheduled ending but ends before that . Theres certainly some republicans quietly who are wondering about that. Those closest to the president arent ready to go there yet. They are at their battle stations. This is a big day. This is a big moment. They have a lot of stuff they need to wade through in the weeks and months ahmed. Theres still the president himself, though, frustrated and perhaps a little subdued or
distracted. Hes not one who is going to throw in the towel. Weve seen him hes most unpredictable when his back is against the wall. Remember the access Hollywood Tape it was two days later before the second president ial debate with Hillary Clinton when he surprised the press corps. Including me with a bill clinton attackers and a really dramatic turn around to change the conversation. So a dark moment. Certainly. It would not predict that again but certainly he has stuff that hell find a way to change the conversation to move forward. That said, this is something the impeachment word is sort of resurfacing here in the last couple of days as peter started to say a short time ago. Whether the democrats want to embrace that idea, if they are to capture the house, assuming they dont control the senate as well, which seems unlikely. Steve bannon said to me and others repeatedly lets make it about impeachment. It would make the stakes high enough for republicans. They think it can be a miscalculation for democrats. The worries would be the idea if the democrats control the house and have subpoena power, itll be investigation, investigation, investigation. Anyone mentioned Donald Trumps name will be hauled to the committee. Hey, peter, i want to play a piece of video. It transpired during the 9 00 p. M. Hour tonight on fox news. Ainsley was doing what he called a debrief. She was appearing with sean hannity talking about her big interview with the president today for air tomorrow morning on his favorite morning program, Fox And Friends and this moment happened. He mentioned Pardoning Manafort and you have Michael Cohens attorney. He mentioned that . He did. So that happened. Peter, what are we to make of
that . Well, you know, it would be explosive thing for him to do. You know, every president who has waded into, you know, the investigations of people around him with a pardon ends up paying a political price. They usually do it after their last election when theyre on the way out of office. Thats when george h. W. Bush pardoned casper and bill clinton pardoned rich and others. For President Trump to do it in the middle of the first term and the middle of the Midterm Election season. To pardon the person who was his Campaign Chairman just convicted on a number of serious tax and bank fraud violations, that would be a political fire storm. May not accomplish what he might want it to accomplish. If he doesnt want hes praising Paul Manafort today for not breaking, for not, you know, giving the prosecutors information, in effect. Giving a pardon wouldnt necessarily prevent that
happening. Then Paul Manafort would no longer have the right to avoid testifying because of selfincrimination. Prosecutors would be able to put him on the stand the next day and say you have to tell us everything there is to know about President Trump. Carol, is it fair to assume that donald trump has not done Due Diligence as a client and told his legal Team Everything mr. Cohen might know because in plain english, mr. Cohen handled just about everything. Whatever the president s effort to diminish him tonight that we showed earlier. And a lot of it is unpleasant business. You know im so glad you asked me that, brian. It is something that perplexed me for months. And im just stunned talking to the sources that i talk to or close to the president who say, you know, weve never really asked him. Its kind of uncomfortable. I mean, every lawyer its like
lawyering defense 101. You go to your client and you say tell me everything. Tell it to me now. Lets figure it out. Then we can deal with it. It seems like the people who would most likely be able to really give the president a good defense dont really know every detail. And its odd. Ill also mention one more thing that is odd to me, brian you raised it at the beginning of the program. Did the president know . Didnt the president know . The tape you played where Michael Cohen is talking to the president about purchasing the rights to Playboy Center fold Karen Mac Dougalls story. Theres two women here. Theres a lot of information to suggest and evidence and sources certainly to confirm this. The president knew about the Karen Mac Dougall story. Knew it was out there. Knew that david pecker probably bought it. Knew they wanted to try to maybe consider buying it themselves. But what is interesting is that
the storm y daniels story explodes right in the days before the election. And theres some evidence to suggest that the president may not entirely have known what Michael Cohen was, quote, unquote, fixing at that point. He may not have known all the details. Its a really res intriguing thing. Back to your great question, im just shocked at how few of the defenders, the people who should know what the president knows dont. I cant thank you enough for starting our broadcast off tonight. Our thanks. Coming up for us, how manaforts conviction and cohens plea put the president in a new kind of legal jeopardy. Later, the latest on the Duncan Hunter scandal. One of the president s first supporters now indicted for misusing Campaign Funds.

Just a day after Michael Cohen implicated trump in breaking Campaign Finance laws, the thou lawyer say cohen is not seeking and would not accept a pardon. Paul manaforts conviction hanging over the white house tonight. Our own writes his nightmare is just starting. 69yearold already facing a lengthy Prison Sentence as he prepares for another and perhaps tougher trial in washington, d. C. He, of course, could change his mind and choose to cooperate at any time. With us to talk about all matters legal related a former federal prosecutor. And arianna berg a former assistant u. S. Attorney for the Southern District of new york. A brachblg of the justice
department that has been in the news once or twice this week cynthia, one of the great words in the law is allocution. Its a fancy thing for what happened yesterday. Michael cohen gets up in open court, his attorneys are seated behind him, in front of him is a federal judge. He says allow what is agreeing. What hes admitting to. What hes copping to. Then he said that about being at the direction of his boss. Person one who went on to become the president of the United States. Were you surprised by that . Is it true that nothing happens by accident in allocution . That must mean the feds knew he was going there well, im sure they knew, but usually in an allocution you sort of keep things as simple as possible. He obviously felt the need to burn the bridge behind him and just go a little farther. He seems to need to needle trump and have a relationship that he has to fight back even as hes
pleading guilty. And, arianna, this Legal Development yesterday kind of collided with the pr narrative that the president and his team has been spooling out. Yes, it did. We cannot overstate the magnitude of what happened yesterday. Particularly with respect to Michael Cohens guilty plea in Federal Court under oath implicating President Trump in the commission of a federal crime. Now, the pr and legal strategy in the past 24 hours of the White House Administration and President Trump has been threefold. To say i didnt do it. If i did it, it wasnt a crime. Even if it was a crime, everyone is doing it. And i guess that the implication of everyone is doing it is therefore we shouldnt care that hes potentially committed a
crime. But none of that really distracts from the magnitude of what happened yesterday. Michael cohen said that he committed Campaign Finance violations at the direction of President Trump and for the express purpose of violating of affecting the election results. Cynthia, i want to play for you something that happened On The Air Tonight on cnn. A new york attorney, long time friend of donald trump appeared with chris cuomo tonight. The following took place. Alleging concern the public that the president cant be counted on to tell the truth. I would agree with you. I mean, im a good friend of the president and i dont condone lying to the public. So thats where we are, cynthia. Jay goldberg who known donald trump for a long time, decades, has to go on Television Tonight and say he doesnt condone lying
to the public. The Washington Post estimates he lies about 7. 6 times a day. Theyre going to have to up it after this week. I dont think tlths any question about that. Itll be interesting to see how mueller looks at those lies and what they do to corroborate cohens lies. Because cohen has lied, too. Over the last year or so. There are interesting little nuggets in the indictment about other people in the campaign who knew about the payments to Stormy Daniels and to miss mac dougall and i would predict that now were going to see concentrated effort by this Southern District of new york to interview about everybody to find out exactly who did know and, of course, do some debriefing of cohen to find out, you know, how exactly theyre going to handle his cooperation. And knowing something about mueller in the way he operates, what is your gut on whether hell regard labor day as this
kind of beginning of forced rest period where pencils down, we have to act like nothing is going on until the midterms. Labor day is a day of work in the Department Of Justice. Thats right. Yes. Labor day is a day of work. Theres a difference between not making news and affecting the election and not working. Remember, as people are talking about oh no. Theres no real cooperation. The Southern District of new york is also under the same rules about not effecting election that mueller is under. So they sort of had to get this plea done and quickly before labor day. Right. Yep. Now they can be quiet. Stay off television, make sure nobody is moving around in front of the grand jury. Theyre not indicting anybody. Theyre not doing anything in public. In private theyre dealing with the Cohen Question and whether or not hes going to have a full Cooperation Agreement or not. They can find out the indictment
who supposedly knew about the things with the president and the payoffs to the porn stars. And this Time Beginning in labor day, really, just means more labor for the poor people who work for bob mueller. Arianna, since weve been On The Air Tonight, one of the jurors has broken their silence and granted an interview. She told fox news it was one hold out among them. Thats the reason they didnt knick manafort 180. Instead it was 810. But in your view, arianna, does that change or maintain muellers stance in this case . Is a win a win . Undoubtedly there was a win for the government. Whether its eight counts that he was quitted on or 18 counts. Paul manafort was found guilty of all three categories of crimes from the indictment. Thats a win for the government. I should also end this conversation with something of at Wall Street Journal tonight. Theyre reporting that Michael Cohen is the son of a Haolocaus Survivor and Maurice Paraphrased i did not survive the holocaust for the cohen family name to be sullied. And the point of the really is that Michael Cohen was influenced by his father to fight these charges. Cynthia, ariana, thank you so much.

This is the biggest political scandal since watergate. When we win on november 8th, we are going to drain the swamp. We are going to drain the swamp. Drain that swamp. If she were to win it would create an unprecedented constitutional crisis. Hil hillary is likely to be under investigation for many years. Probably concluding in a criminal trial. The final days of the 2016 Campaign Amid chants of lock her up. Trumps closing is the anticorruption candidate. Remember, returning washington to the rule of law. Theyre still chanting lock her up last night in west virginia. But circumstances have charged for donald trump now. 19 months in the white house, five of his closest associates have been convicted or pleading guilty to crimes. First two supporters in congress are both now under indictment. And the president himself was implicated in a crime yesterday. So there is that. Joining us tonight two men who remember those waning days of
the 2016 campaign. Msnbc National Affairs analyst and White House Reporter for the los angeles times. I was watching you watching the clips wondering for we needed to call in counsellors. I know theres a ptsd factor. What do you make of that looking at it now in the rimpear view mirror. Immediately was thinking to myself sometimes in the moment you dont realize how much hes projecting. You dont realize exactly how ironic it will seem. How surreal it will look. You know, you have to remember that at that time, there was in the news, the fbi had just reopened comey announced they would reopen the investigation into hillarys email server in the closing days of the campaign. We know the history. That gave what he was saying, i think, to voters at the time an
oral believability for people who might have wanted to believe it and certainly wanted to depress some votes who were considering about coming out for clinton. I think it was impactive. Now it looks absurd. I think at that time thinking back to it on the trail, you know, that was the election was hanging in the balance there. And that was his closing argument. John, its often said that on fox news Hillary Clinton is president and Hillary Clinton is president in Donald Trumps mind. What percentage of his base do you think cast a vote for better government . For Good Government . For cleaning up government and who do they see about that now . I think there was probably more when i detected in the period and throughout the entire trump phenomena for me in 2015 through to the election day is not so much about Good Government and about draining the swamp. It was about blowing up everything. Yeah. Burning down the house. Roll a stick of dynamite into washington and blow it up and see which way the rubble falls. I dont think they would think the washington theyre blowing is more swampy than they imagined under donald trump. And the way the blowing up was going to be done under ushim. You watch the clips and the sense of projection that trump is projecting his own problems. You go back a little bit. Play the tape back a couple of weeks before that. What he was running on then was its a rigged deal. Yeah. Its a rigged deal. The system is rigged. Trying to undermine the legitimacy of the election because he was going to lose. Of course, it turns out now especially in light of the Michael Cohen pleading, we know it was a rigged deal but by donald trump and his people. Not just to get to russian collusion. In that way but just on this front, the president , turns out, if cohen is believed
participated in the massive fraud in the last days of the 2016 campaign. What he was saying about drain the swamp. Do we take him literally or seriously or neither . But at the time he was telling us that drain the watch was a slogan to him. He would tell the crowds at the rallies i didnt like draining the swamp. I thought it sounded cheesy but people loved it. He was gauging it on the crowd liked it. Maybe it made sense to people and it was believable because he was wearing the outsiders mantra. He was carrying that im going to d. C. And im going to shake things up. And that certainly turned out to be true. But, you know, the anticorruption people projected that on to what he was saying. And never ever meant that. A time out has been called on the field of play. Both guests agreed to stick around. When we come back, our friend chuck todd, who he says could be a hero in the Republican Party.

Brief reminder here 76 days to go until the Midterm Elections. Chuck todd raised the idea of one person who could help shield republicans from any trump political fallout. I do think paul ryan needs to think long and hard about the future of the Republican Party. This is your last chance off this train. And it looks like manafort and cohen only have more to say. Only may cooperate more. This could get worse. Ryan is retiring. I think he actually could do the party a favor and if you start the procedure in the house judiciary committee, you give some home, you know, some place for republicans getting nervous to say, you know, lets start an investigation and well go from there. Eli and john remain with us. They declined comment on chuck todds notion. John, i heard david tonight
suggest to the republicans at least look like rigor behind your solutions. Pass a law protecting mueller. Put forward a revolution saying mr. President stop waiving pardons around. You can look tough and sound tough but still be trump republicans. I heard you today at 4 00 say the only thing that will turn republicans against trump is the day after the Midterm Elections, if they lose those. Thats right. I had various views about some of these people on the basis of some things paul ryan did during the campaign. I lost all hope. To me, i think the house, in particular, is just a math problem for them. Theyre guided by polls. Its not that different from the nixon era. The nixon era republicans turned against nixon because facts came out. Then the public turned against nixon. They were a lagging indicator. Its the case now it may be worse, in that sense. They lost 40 seats. Exactly. Crucial. So at this point, theyve been doing the math and every day a lot worried about getting primaried and the math is painful to stick with trump but divorce myself from trump would be more painful. The calculus youll do in your head is different. What are the costs of staying with him. Abandoning him . I think after it comes to pass the democrats take control of the house. That calculus will shift doct
dramatically. Eli, the part of this we may not see meaning the three of us is the rich folks who write checks and provide the financial underpinning to the Republican Party across the country. They might get wobbly and pull back. They might. Or they might say we got tax reform. We got conservative justice. Thats when mcconnell is going to say. Thats what trump will try to say. Immigration. Right. I think, you know, there are things for conservatives. Its hard to generalize because there are Different Things that turn out different segments of voters. I think its a Base Election the republicans probably stay republican. The republicans ive talked to still think they have a decent chance of holding the senate. But the house is the problem. The white house talk about sending the president on the Campaign Trail a lot. Not talking about sending him to house race to swing houses. They dont know its going to be helpful in the districts that are going to matter. The suburban districts. And there so many more of them
that are competitive coming into november. And donald trump in those districts is not an asset. Hes a liability. Theres a difficult thing that these candidates face now in having to not just sort of wriggle out a question about trump but questions about trump related to the investigation. Not the fact that manafort and cohen are guilty and it just gets harder and harder to make that calculation. Do you think hes right, though . As a hedge. Just as a hedge they should try to put some law in place to protect mueller. The reality for all the water mueller has taken on, its still a twothirds or onethird proposition in the country. Twothirds of the country wants bob mueller to finish his job. Republicans are worried about 2018. After watergate, the republicans didnt win the house back for 20 years. Right now its november, but for paul ryan its the future of the party. Our thanks. Were back with more news after this. Heres a trip tip when you Search Hotels on tripadvisor.

You california Republican Congressman Duncan Hunter taking a cue from the president he endorsed trying to blame career Public Servants in the Justice Department for the legal trouble he finds himself in tonight. Duncan hunter received Brief Notoriety for vaping during a congressional hearing when he first ran for his fathers old congressional seat, he received notoriety for becoming the first combat veteran from iraq and afghanistan elected to congress. Hunter quit his job after 9 11 and joined the marine corps and served in combat with distinction. The problem is, tonight he is
under criminal investigation. Along with his wife for allegedly misusing a quarter Million Dollars in Campaign Funds on themselves. The federal grand jury indictment is staggering. 60 counts, 47 pages, the hunters are accused of lying to use veterans groups as a charitable cover for Skimming Money for themselves. For example, hunter is said to have bought Hawaii Shorts at a Golf Pro Shop so the purchase could be falsely labeled as some golf balls for the wounded warriors. The indictment also alleged they spent over 14,000 in Campaign Funds on a Family Vacation to italy even though a planned stop at a u. S. Base in italy which was going to be the cover for the trip fell through. The indictment contains purchases large and small, 11,000 at costco, lots of golf, lots of trips including tahoe and vegas and london. Theres cosmetics and video games and tablecloths and pillows all allegedly purchased
with Campaign Money as their own Bank Accounts went dry. Records show the hunt esers is overdrew bear balance. Theyre alleged to have used Campaign Funds as their bank despite warnings not to do so. This has to hurt. His Hometown Paper the San Diego Union tribune writes representative Duncan Hunter, do the honorable thing. We sign. They say hes become corrupt to the point of caricature. Hes disgraced himself and doesnt deserve the privilege of representing californians in congress. Hunter says hell stay and fight. Its a deep red district. Hes on the ballot now for the midte midterms. The local u. S. Attorney bringing these charges, by the way, is a donald trump appointee. Hunter was the second sitting member of congress to endorse donald trump for president. The first member of congress to do so, that would be Chris Collins of upstate new york
under criminal indictment. House Speaker Paul Ryan says Duncan Hunter will be removed from his Committee Assignments pending the resolution of this matter.
