i want to start with you, ken. you wrote an extensive story on this firm and a report that they prepared that's part of this investigation into paul manafort that in some ways breaks new ground. can you walk through what, you know, based on the deep reporting you had done on this and what we're seeing unfold today, what you think mueller's team is getting from van der zwaan? >> sure. there's a couple things going on here. one is sort of the surface issue. and that deals with this report that paul manafort commissioned on behalf of his client the former president of ukraine, victor yanokovich, the russia-aligned president of ukraine. that this lawyer that was indicted today was involved in. that essentially sought to whitewash the role of yanukovych and yanukovych's government in prosecuting a former rival, at that point current rival, who was convicted of corruption charges, yulia timonchenkovich, the former president of ukraine. so manafort got this report, saying no, essentially, there were no political motivatio

let me go to our friend ken. underlying crime. it's often said in conspiracies, it's the cover-up, not the crime. in this case, we have a crime. >> right, and that's important for two reasons, chris. one, mueller has established a complex conspiracy at the heart of this russian interference campaign and he's laid out a road map how that happened on the russian side. but now, what that means is that anybody in the trump team or any manor helped that conspiracy by what's called an overt act can be charged as parts of it, even if that overt act wasn't technically illegal. chuck can correct me if i'm wrong, that's my undering it of conspiracy law. as long as they agreed and knew about the agreement to interfere in the election and violate american law, the actual act whatever they did does not necessarily have to be a crime. number two, a lot of people say how can trump obstruct justice if there's no underlying crime. mueller laid out the offenses which is a conspiracy to defraud the united states and to violate u.s. election law, chr

starr landed in little rock. >> can you talk to us, ken? >> no, i won't be making any statements. >> starr began filling out his staff, including maryland prosecutor bob bittman. in little rock, he brought in hickman ewing jr. a former u.s. attorney from tennessee. >> there was the washington office and the little rock office. i was on the washington team. >> i got a call from someone, and they said that ken starr's looking for somebody experienced in white-collar crime and corruption cases who can speak southern. well, that would be me. >> as the new team assembled and the investigations ramped up once again, media attention intensified. >> we really tried to concentrate and focus and to steal ourselves and to shield ourselves as much as possible to what was going on in the public square, so to speak. >> by late summer of 1994, it was unclear if anyone yet realized just how hard that would become. by august, the whitewater headaches had damaged the white house's messaging. not only had a new independent counsel begun digging around, but re

ken dilanian for a moment. ken, i know you read a bit more on these new charges. tell us what you know. >> yes, stephanie, we have some more context here. as pete williams pointed out, this is a criminal information, which often suggests that the defendant is poised to plead guilty. and secondly, the context here is that this person -- apparently has allegedly lied about his communications with rick gates, paul manafort partner who has been in the news lately amid speculation he's about to cut a deal with mueller. it has to do with text messages with gates about a ukrainian politician named yulia yaminshenko. they were working for ukrainian prime minister, accusing them of corruption. this document suggests this lawyer who has been charged with making false statements to the fbi did not tell the truth about his text messages with gates and tried to destroy an e-mail and keep it from the special counsel's office. the question here is how did they find out about this e-mail? one possibility is gates, if gates is indeed cooperating. that's trying to read into potenti

let me go to ken dilanian to start this. the sque how much can they squeeze out of gates to use on manafort to use man for the against trump? >> i think a lot, chris. i mean, look. gates, while he's only pled guilty to two charges, criminal information filed in the case shows that he's admitting to this much larger conduct, criminal conduct with paul manafort, basically illegal lobbying, bank fraud, money laundering. he looks like he's prepared to go into court and testify against manafort, his long-time mentor. he was with him for years. and gates remained in the trump campaign well after manafort left so we don't know exactly what he may be tell about the trump campaign. but this is a horrible day for paul manafort. he is under now enormous pressure to plead guilty. you know, before this had been essentially a paper case, a document case, a very strong case, now he's got his former friend who seems willing to testify against him, it's just got to be a devastating day for him. >> ken vogel, how much does rick gates now? >>

ken, you get the long wind-up question, the first thoughtful person we have here tonight. what did we learn today? it's another way of asking what was proven? that was disproven? and what still dangles out there. >> i'm struck by some of the most significant things we learned do not prove the republican thee citisis shows corruption. it's the things you mentioned, the memo is clear, the investigation began as a result of the information about george papadopoulos. nothing to do with carter page. we also learn, and this was not known previously, or at least confirmed, that the surveillance of carter page began many months later in october of 2016. so what does that tell us? the investigation that became the mueller investigation was already well under way. whatever mistakes were made, and this is hotly disputed in the application for surveillance of carter page could not corruptly infect the mueller investigation. it foils this pruitt of the poisonous tree argument. robert mueller should be fired, you heard that on fox news. >> this guy, carter page, who can come across as g

and it's my job to do that. >> for ken allen, the weinberger case felt personal. this was his backyard. and though he may not look like a working class hero in his tailored suits, ken allen says his father was a steel worker, like many of weinberger's former patients. in fact, allen says he worked in the mills himself as a teenager. that's him behind the wedding mask. >> a lot of my colleagues as lawyers somehow think they morph into something different once they get a law degree and all of that. and i know who i am. i knew where i came from, and i don't forget that. >> though hard to prove, ken allen believes his lawsuit on behalf of phyllis barnes and her subsequent death are what caused mark weinberger to flee. >> weinberger realized at that juncture that his gig was up. he knew, having killed someone, that it was not something he could easily sweep under the rug. >> and so, with prosecutorial zeal, this personal injury attorney hired private investigators to chase down rumored sightings of mark weinberger. in china. israel. and france. >> it was almost like si

john mcdonnell and ken livingstone. a total of 15 mps. they see that this is ridiculous will stop ken livingstone calls it a tissue of lies. labour is describing the allegations as absurd, which is what they have been saying all week. the point about this is that we are going back to the 1980s. we are going back to the 1980s. we are going back to a different time. gorbachev was then that changing the whole nature of russia and eastern europe... perestroika and glasnost. those great was we had at the time. mps were meeting a lot of eastern europeans at the time. the only thing you could actually say that they were guilty of was not to imagine that some of them might have been spies. we don't know what on earth they could have passed to these agents. ken livingstone was not an mp. he was coming to the end of this time of leading the dlc. john mcdonnell probably was an mp then, or was he at the dlc? jeremy corbyn was in the same constituency. and the czechoslovakian diplomat or spy and the czechoslovakian diplomat or spy talks about three me

do we still have ken or chuck? >> i'm here. >> ken, let me get you just to reset us a little bit. we're focusing in like a laser, appropriately sew on these 13 indictments. if you pull back just a little bit, there was also news today that paul manafort's partner mr. gates may not be cooperating with the special counsel investigation. it was described to me with nbc news confirming yesterday that steve bannon, the president's former top strategist spending 20 hours with bob mueller, that bob mueller isn't just getting closer and closer and closer to the president, but that he must want something if he's still willing to do a deal. if he's still willing to let someone flip and say for leniency or sentencing or to drop some of the charges, i will take your cooperation. what kinds of things, what kinds of other people might bob mueller be closing in on that those two developments would coincide with these indictments? >> right, and i should point out nbc news has not confirmed that rick gates is close to cutting a deal, but he certainly has hired a lawyer with a long history of negot

he used to be ken carlson small but he didn't like that so he's now ken carlson handsome and i'm ken carlson large and it works out fine. he became a fbi agent. >> as long as you are good with if, i'm fine with it. >> i'm happy with that. >> tell me about your background chblt where you are from and where you grew up. >> i'm an army brat. i was born in detroit. my father deployed to world war ii just after my birth. he went to the pacific as an army officer. he was going to be part of the invasion of japan from philippines. he was an ordinance officer which is why we were in detroit. he came back. no, i'm sorry, he did not come back. my mother and brother and i went to japan after the war was over and we were part of mcarthur pioneers. we lived in ouk. and he went to school mail order program. and i was two years old at the time. i learned to speak japanese before i learned to speak english because i had an alma who taught me japanese. and he went around speaking japanese. so, anyway, when we came back, i was three years old. and, let's see, where did we go? we went to the naval war

ken, i want to bring you in. this, obviously, comes after the breaking news that we reported on yesterday. those new indictments. 32-count indictment, along with his business partner paul manafort. so talk a little bit about how this plays into the broader calculation for paul manafort. pick up where pete left off. what could this mean for paul manafort? >> it's very bad news for paul manafort because as pete was saying, there's this massive indictment against paul manafort. it's mainly a document case, though. now what the prosecutors have is a witness who worked with paul manafort for years who was involved in this conduct and is admitting it. even though he's only pleasing guilty to two charges, the criminal information the mueller team filed lays out this vast scheme with a $75 million paid by this russian-backed ukrainian oligarch and alleged money laundering, bank fraud, tax fraud. you have gates prepared to testify against paul manafort. paul manafort already was facing 15 years in prison under federal sen

carlson large and he was ken carlson small but me didn't like that so now he is ken carlson hand some and i'm ken carlson large. >> tell me about your background where you are from and where you grew up. >> i'm an army brat, born in detroit. my father went to the pacific as an army officer. was going to be part of the invasion in the philippines. he was an ordnance officer. that's why we were in detroit. he came back, i'm sorry he didn't. my brother and i went to japan after the war was over and part of mcarthur's pioneers. >> wow. >> lived in yolk what ma. and they were about the same age and he went to school through some sort of a mail order program and i was two years old at the time and i learned to speak japanese before i learned to speak english. i had someone who taught me. a little boy speaking japanese. so anyway. when we came back, i was three years old and let's see -- where did we go? we went to the naval war college. they didn't send him to the army war college, they wanted him to transfer into the brand new air force. my father wanted nothing to do with the air force. s

let's discuss with cnn legal analyst michael zeldon and ken. michael to you, there are three questions here, right, let's try to address them one at a time, why won't the president testify or talk to robert mueller's team? can he be forced to? and what does this fight look like? first to the why he won't testify, michael. newt gingrich and his allies call it a perjury trap. that's a loaded phrase, michael. >> well, a perjury trap actually is a term that has a definition. it is a form of entrapment. it is impermissible and implies that the prosecutor is bringing the witness into the grand jury for the sole purpose of getting him to lie so he can charge him with that lie. that is not what is going on here. and newt gingrich is just flat out incorrect about that. what is going on here is a dually constituted special counsel is investigating a matter and he wants testimony with respect to that matter. that witness is subpoenaed or called under a voluntary process and the witness is asked to answer questions. if the witness is truthful in his answer

ken, you get the wind up question. you get to be the first thoughtful person we have here tonight. what did we learn today? that's another way of asking what was proven, what was disproven and what still dangles out there? >> well, i'm struck by some of the most significant things we learn, do not actually prove this memo shows corruption at the heart of the mueller investigation. and first of all it's the thing you mentioned, which is that the memo is very clear the investigation began as a result of the information about george papadopoulos, which came from a australian diplomat. nothing to do with carter page. and the surveillance of carter page began many months later in october of 2016. so what does that tell us? that the investigation that became the mueller investigation was already well under way. so whatever mistakes that were made, and this is hotly disputed in the application for surveillance of carter page, could not, you know, sort of corruptly effect the mueller investigation. it really kind of foils this fruit of the poisonous true argument. and you heard it today on

so i would, i would largely agree with what ken just said. i think there is for a company like facebook which is diversifying and is actually building infrastructure facilities, so for example, we just announced a, an unsea cable to deliver internet at faster speeds between virginia and spain. this is something we're clearly investing heavily in. so because we have a lot of experience in, this is area we feel strongly that we're in tpp now, the new successor is agreement to the tpp, the comprehensive and progressive trans-pacific partnership. . . >> different regions, you can start sort of spinning out a balkanization of the internet which i think defeats the very purpose of its strength and its power and its reach. so from our perspective, i think we think decisions that, on where to store data, where to host data should be made on technical considerations and user needs. and i think that allows hen, you know, opportunities -- then, you know, opportunities to unsure that you are serving your customers, your user, our user base across the wor
