This is real life. This is stranger than fiction. Im going to hand it off to my friend chris jansing. Wow its a deluge of news. I am chris jansing. We have more on that bombshell news in the Mueller Investigation. Right now in manhattan federal court, President Trumps former personal attorney and self proclaimed fixer, Michael Cohen, entering a new plea deal with special counsel Robert Mueller. He is Pleading Guilty to lying to congress in closed door testimony about his contacts with the russians during the president ial campaign. Remember, this is a man who was once who once said he would take a bullet for donald trump. And now hes given more than 70 hours of testimony to the mueller team. It would be ....
He knew about it, was written about it in newspapers. it was a well-known project during the early part of 16 and i guess even before that. it lasted a short period of time. i didn t do the project. i decided not to do the project. so, i didn t do it. so, we re not talking about doing a project. we re talking about not doing a project. michael cohen, what he s doing, he was convicted, i guess you have to put it into legal terms, but he was convicted with a fairly long-term sentence on things totally unrelated to the trump organization, having to do with mortgages and having to do with cheating the irs, perhaps. a lot of different things. i don t know exactly. but he was convicted of various things unrelated to us. he was given a fairly long jail sentence and he s a weak person and by being weak, unlike other people that you watch, he is a weak person and he s trying to get a reduced sentence. ....

Cohen was involved in that. he has denied that and continues to deny that. but they suggest he lied about a very important matter involving an effort that was not disclosed to the voters to build a trump tower project in ms. cow and then he engaged the russian government about it and that they were willing to help donald trump run for president. that s huge, chris. i want to go back to hans nichols. we don t have that tape yet but you have information about what the president has to say as he heads to marine one. that s right, chris. reporters are tweeting about what the president is saying. he is changing his story on russia, at least as it relates to any business dealings he has. when i m running for president, that doesn t mean i m not allowed to do business. that is a direct contradiction from what he said during the campaign, where he said he seems to be suggesting that he had no business dealings with russia. after this cohen testimony and plea, the president s changing, appa ....
Vladimir putin. and we re going to have new emphasis as if there wasn t enough emphasis already of this meeting between the president and vladimir putin, but i also want to go to ari melber who joins us from washington, d.c. she flagged hallie just did, this critical part of what we ve seen in these documents. it s from the cohen court document noting that trump family members were briefed by cohen about the moscow project. i just want to read it and have you put it into legal context for us. the moscow project was discus d multiple times within the company and did not end in january 2016. instead as late as approximately june 2016 cohen and individual 2 discussed efforts to obtain russian governmental approval. cohen discussed the status and progress of the moscow project with individual 1, president trump on more than the three occasions cohen claimed to the committee, and he briefed family ....
