Other aides here at the white house said, we are bringing up the credibility of buzzfeed, talking about michael cohen saying he's a proven liar, saying this is another egreenlous exampegreengious example of leakers. that's the attitude here at the white house. we should note -- you did point out in the lead to me that buzzfeed has come out basically asking the special counsel to identify what exactly it is disputing. ben smith, the editor in chief said in response to the statement from the special counsel's spokesman, he is saying we stand by our reporting and the sources who informed it and w...

With respect to the southern district case, the prosecutors took the position in their own document that the payoff was done in coordination with and at the direction of individual one the president. at the same time, you had special counsel mueller's document that came in with respect to michael cohen's guilt plea in which they said they made it clear the deal in moscow concluded before the iowa caucuses. for the benefit of the president. they did not take the step of saying what the southern district prosecutor said, which was he did at that time the direction of the president, which is why ...
