Katy Tur hosts coverage of national and international news, including breaking stories. Counsel. How much specificity would we get here in seeing a plea deal . Would there be things that are sort of kept from public view or would it be pretty clear what the guts are here . I dont think the first filing i dont think will reveal everything. In other words, i think the first filing, announcing the plea deal and that sort of thing is probably not going to spell out in great detail exactly what Information Cohen has to provide. We may have to await several weeks, several months down the road to find out the full scope of his cooperation and the full breadth of his information. Kristen welker, i think we have you standing by as well. The other aspect of this, we set this up at the top, Michael Cohen so close to donald trump for so long, that famous line where he said he would tak ....
There is nothing there. you can t make this into a campaign finance deal. and then bragg wants the mug shot. you are right. he just wants a mug shot. because you get a mug shot, it is the most vital image of politics. it is like sonny liston with muhammad ali like that. it is going to go viral and they will use it in different campaigns for the next two ye years. are they going to throw money, fingerprinted, a lot of these corporate guys, don t want to throw money at a guy like trump. they are trying to criminalize the president, criminalize his movement, and make him look so dangerous that he is leading this dark army of insurrectionist, and that is how the fbi can get to you, those anti-terror tools against movement. greg: what you are getting at is so true. it wasn t us, it wasn t fox thar ....
Credible account of the events as they transpired. cynthia, as a prosecutor, what questions would you want to have michael cohen answer before congress? i think about it, there are six major areas that i m interested in. first of all, i would say the fact that he s testifying leads me to believe mueller has said it s okay, he can testify. to recognize mueller is the puppeteer at the top of this arrangement. there s, of course, what you have been talking about, the campaign finance deal, in addition to the violations, in addition to the violations themselves that s all of the conversations with trump he had that he can recall, particularly in jill is right and there are some tapes. the campaign finance would be one, the trump tower deal, apparently he had conversations with trump, and other family members about and keeping family members apprised as he was negotiating that deal. that s very important to know ....
This is going forward and we re still hunting around for the specifics. we have daniel goldman, a former u.s. attorney for the southern district of new york joining us as well. this was your jurisdiction and that piece of news we just got here from jonathan, how do you interpret what you re hearing now? a campaign finance violation may apparently be a part of this plea deal. right. i was just on with jonathan over on nbc and he wasn t sure at that point about the campaign finance deal. this makes more sense to me because if michael cohen is cooperating in the southern district of new york, he would have to plead guilty to every crime that he committed. it is possible that we know for example that he was under investigation for bank fraud, tax fraud and campaign finance fraud or at least that was reported. so the fact that he is pleading guilty to that is consistent with him pleading guilty pursuant to a cooperation agreement. as tom winter correctly pointed ....
Requirements of the united states senate. i should point out that the nrsc. that organization, pulled its campaign finance deal, its fund-raising agreement with the roy moore campaign two days ago. and there is no qualification in that, garrett. unlike what we ve heard from a number of senators, there isn t an, if then in that statement. cory gardner is saying he should not run and the senate should not seat him? reporter: yeah. in that statement earlier, it s striking because of that one extra step it takes. right? not only saying roy moore is not qualified to serve and should not run but takes the extra step, says if roy moore were to run and were to win, the senate should expel him, and it s important to note the difference here, ali. the senate would seat him and have to vote. get a two-thirds majority vote to expel him. that s obviously a difficult thing to get. two-thirds of the senate agree on anything. you have to assume in a case li ....
