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. 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 then months later you see the buzzfeed article say something that clearly sounds like the mueller team should have known, it was under the direction of the president. they didn't bother to say it. when their sister office did say it. when you see that discrepancy, that's the thing that...

As you pointed out, they almost never comment. last year they wouldn't tell "the new york times" what one of their prosecutors was having for lunch. that's how little they want to comment. >> appreciate it. i want to go to pamela brown. you heard sarah sanders deny the report this afternoon, quoting rudy giuliani. has there been any reaction since the special counsel's office weighed in? >> not publicly. but i think it is safe to say that the president will likely tweet about this very soon, anderson, because this is vindication from what officials have been saying since this morning that they...
