trump jr in front of him in fact told donald trump about a forthcoming meeting with russian nationals. that was a bid to get. dirt on hillary clinton so that is the main headlines but also tax fraud stuff about the trump foundation and about all of trump just generally not being a terribly nice person but those are the main headlines that we're getting from the michael cohen testimony and that congressional hearing continues she has for the time being thank you we'll speak to you once again in a couple of minutes so you're looking at live pictures right now from capitol hill washington d.c. that is michael cohen he's been testifying to the house committee house oversight and reform can maybe we'll be back in just a moments right here on al-jazeera with all the latest news coming out from washington in just a moment do stay with us. when they cast arrive at a country club and the playground. and. troops. share the week with good. source cubans so far in this magnificent. a chronicle of the revolution and its aspirations through the prism of its architecture cuba's unfinished space on a

if donald trump jr. and jared kushner took this meeting innocently, in ignorantly and sort of stepped into it -- it's possible. but mr. manafort? he would have clearly known what the russians were up to. >> two nights before the meeting on june 7th, trump greeted supporters with what now sounds like a curious promise. >> we're going to be discussing all of the things that have taken place with the clintons. i think you're going to find it very informative and very, very interesting. >> we just don't know if the speech that donald trump made is a coincidence or not. and so the timing seems awfully strange. >> for all the attention the trump tower meeting would later get, goldstone says at the time he hardly gave it a second thought. >> i didn't care about the meeting. it sounds bad, but it's true. i didn't care. i wanted my client to be happy. that's always my ultimate goal. >> coming up -- >> so tell us what happened. was the dirt on the democratic party and hillary clinton forthcoming? for powerful clar

this is donald trump's personal bank account. this is what proves to the public cohen was telling the truth at least about this. and how he wanted to cover up alleged contact with women in 2016. again, we'll put it up. you have the signature of then-candidate trump and the date. examine, then-president trump. cohen also supplied a second check, $35,000 also signed by donald trump jr. in the trump org chief financial officer allen weisselberg. >> i was involved in several of these catch and kill episodes. he asked me to pay off an adult film star with whom he had an affair. he was concerned with the effect that it had had on the campaign. he had told me that he had spoken to a couple of friends and it's 130,000. it's not a lot of money. and we should just do it. everything had to go through mr. trump. he knew about everything, yes. >> what did the president ask or suggest that you say about the payments? >> he was not knowledgeable of these reimbursements and he wasn't knowledgeable of my actions to keep him far away from it as po

of donald trump. it's to make directives like that and i think we will probably find that that may be what motivated michael cohen to lie to congress. >> harry litman, let me ask you about that. this pattern of lying is something that in donald trump's mind, he described in an interview sunday to cbs. even with the definition of a crime is seems to be lost on the chief executive of the country, the person who sits atop the federal law enforcement bureaucracy. >> yeah, i mean, from a policy standpoint, in some ways, it's the most abiding and really troubling aspect of the whole presidency. he wakes up lying and lies all day and seems to think nothing of it. but as a federal criminal matter, a matter for congress to investigate, it's serious stuff. the same thing that we had in iran contra or watergate, et cetera. it's throwing sand in the gears of vital investigations and keeping people from knowing the truth. usually to serve yourself. and it often involves conspiracy, for instance, the hope hicks sto

to report back to donald trump. he said donald trump knew everything going on in the trump organization. how much trouble could the trump organization be in after this testimony. >> sure, it is a fascinating point. when you do an investigation in a racketeering case, you'll have to find links between people because they're not necessarily in the same place at the same time. you try to prove how the boss runs the operation. his testimony is important here. can i go back to one thing, casy, there is cas katie. i want to talk about the phone call that stone placed to donald trump that michael cohen overheard. what prosecutors do is drill in on details. members of congress don't seem to do that quite as much. so was the door open such that they could hear the conversation. is there phone calls to donald trump. did roger stone send any e-mails to friends after his conversation with trump. did donald trump or cohen mention that conversation to other people. did other people walk into the room at the end of the conversatio

cohen was an extension of donald trump's id, an enabler of donald trump's most primal demands. cohen's resume with trump included covering up sex with porn stars, rigging political polls and inflating trump's wealth. only the truly unscrupulous will be quick to dismiss cohen's testimony this week as lies while he did lie to congress, it's an open question whether he's the architect of those lies, or whether he was acting at the direction of others. and as to whether he's to be believed now. today, the only tool cohen has at his disposal to lessen his sentence is telling the truth, and it's worth noting that federal prosecutors now agree with and have somehow corroborated cohen's assertion that it was donald trump who directed that illegal hush money operation. and we don't know what we don't know in terms of what else they've been able to corroborate on the other threads of the multiple investigations into the president that cohen has assisted with. and that is where we start today with some of our favorite reporters and friends. at the table, donny deutsch, "washington post" c

donald trump says border wall negotiations are a waste of time. he is vowing he will get the wall finished and he said wait and see whether he will declare a national emergency. trace gallagher following the latest news from the president. good evening. >> the oval office interview with the new york times, the president said he has given up on negotiations with congress over the border wall indicating when talks officially end in two weeks he could take action on his own meaning and executive order. the president also took a swipe at the house speaker who said today there would be no money for the wall. use the president. >> nancy pelosi is hurting our country badly by doing what she is doing and ultimately i think i have set the table. >> the president is highlighting the need for more border security in the wake of news about the biggest sentinel trust in us history that happened saturday at the point of entry. a tractor-trailer filled with produce also had a hidden print apartment containing 254 pounds of fentanyl with a street value of 31/$2 m

and donald trump knows what's happening. no one needed to tell theucter party >> and he placed donald trump at the center of the most important discussions happening in the campaign and after the campaign. when you think about the trump tower meeting, he says don trump jr.fe effectively told him abou that meeting. and he said stick to the story. no russia collusion and michael cohen took the hint there. when it comes to wikileaks, he was involved there too. what he did was he put trump at the center of the conspiracy in a way that we cannot deny any longer that trump knew about the collusion aspect of this. >> it's not just collusion. the fact that donald trump, a presidential nominee spent months denying that ruggau was attacking united states when he knew or at least the people knew and maybe ea he did too and even after he was briefed in midaugust that russians were behind these attacks. he went throughout and echoed, bolstered, amplified the russian disinformation that they weren't doing anything. that's the profound act

right. >> it's donald trump. i think when you take the facts and stand behind them, the sort of consensus opinion of the entire community, it's a stunning, stunning rebuke of his sort of fact devoid governing style. >> i find it mind numbing, we're actually comparing the numbers of donald trump with somebody like bob mueller. bob mueller whose integrity, ethics, principles, and honesty, far, far surpass donald trump's. donald trump would have to climb a very, very tall ladder to shine the bottom of bob mueller's shoes. >> i don't know if we can top that. i'm going to let you try. >> i think it's important not to overlook the significance of dan coats and gina haspel being the two people who are very visible in the intelligence community right now. even though coats, of course, has a long background in politics. lifetime republican. my understanding is senior leadership at odni is very comfortable and happy with the role that he's doing there, with the way he's protected the institution from the white house, has b

donald trump right now. donald trump is hanoi and can't do anything about it. i imagine he's crawling up the walls. this is the power of television right now. we've had two years of print reports and legal filings and chatter among folks like us what all this means and we follow it in a very granular level. but i think the larger points of some of this gets lost on a lot of people. i think what you're seeing now with michael cohen testifying on television under oath before well informed people is the first sort of coming home of the trump scandals into people's living rooms. i think that's a big sea change in all of this. >> eddie, we keep hearing from the president and his allies. they going after cohen, his character, calling him a rat. even some of his congressional allies are suggesting that michael cohen's wife is going to step out on him while he's in prison. what do you make of all this that's going on? i'm not sure why that's a relevant subject. >> it's not surprising they would go after his character, after all cohen did lie before congress. this is wh

this is not a vote whether you're for or against donald trump or even donald trump's policies. this really is a matter of upholding your oath of office. this is about protecting the article i powers, the concept of checks and balances. the constitution's explicit granting of the power of the purse to the house of representatives, which is fundamental to congressional power. so i'm hoping that there is more than a handful of republicans who are going to stand up and say, look, this is about the constitution. this is about the prerogatives of this institution, the people's house, now just simply blue and red. so i do think this is going to be a define vote, maybe one of the defining votes of this congress for republicans, and this is a red line and we're going to see whether or not, you know, they're willing to stand up for their oath of office and against donald trump. >> you know, jennifer rubin, i saw you smiling. i'm not going to interpret your smile for you, but, you know, there's a lot of doubt out there that republicans are going to do that. adam schiff wrote a letter sort

michael cohen said that donald trump was aware of it and donald trump was aware of it and donald trump was aware of it and donald trump himself wrote a cheque in connection with this. so it's very clear he was part of it. the prosecutors thus far have only indicted, obtained a guilty plea, from michael cohen but this was a conspiracy involving several people including almost certainly the president of the united states. richard painter, thank you. thank you. cannabis has become a multi—million dollar industry in canada, following the country's decision to legalise the sale of the drug for recreational use last year. marijuana—infused food and drink are currently prohibited but their ban could soon be lifted. so, as caroline rigby has been finding out, some within the industry have turned their attention to developing cannabis—cuisine. at first glance it may look like nothing out of the ordinary, but look closer — from sweets that get you stoned to marijuana meals, cannabis queue seen looks set to be big business in canada. experts at this food industry event in toronto suggest

if you like donald trump maybe it won't change the dial on what you think about donald trump. if you hate donald trump it will probably add to your ire but of course the reason is there is that we now have a democratic control house and this is just the start. what cph did yesterday in a very explosive way as you said is an pack his view about the man that he worked alongside —— what cohen said. the democrats are going to take this ina the democrats are going to take this in a whole variety of different directions now. what it was interesting, he was pushed on the issue of pollution and whether there was collusion between the donald trump campaign in russia during the election campaign. he stopped short, didn't he, he said he had no evidence of that. that's interesting because at the moment the robert mueller investigation is beginning to wrap up. so he went quite far, but not perhaps as far as some democrats would want. that is right. imean, he democrats would want. that is right. i mean, he has pointed to the character of donald trump. it was a character of donald trump.

everyone not named donald trump. and just about nrch who's never attended a trump rally knows we have for decades had medicines that work wonders with aids. in one of his biggest swerves off the rails last night, donald trump became the first president ever to come out in opposition to dogs. >> by the way, there is nothing better than a good old-fashioned german shepherd. it's hard to believe. >> no, it's not hard to believe. for the 60 million american households who have a dog. almost half of america has a dog and a big majority of america, 68% have some kind of household pet, but donald trump doesn't understand why anyone would ever share a home with a dog. judging by his tweets, dogs are the worst things in the world. he compares people to dogs in the worst way. in tweets he has said, people have choked like a dog. then dumped like a dog. and been fired like a dog. and so, i guess we shouldn't have been surprised when the president went off the rails about dogs last night. >> german shepherd. certain types of dog

he claims she had an affair with donald trump. he said the self—proclaimed political dirty tricks to roger stone had told donald trump ahead of time of wikileaks's plans to release had democratic party e—mails and he claims that the president had encouraged into lighter congress about mr trump's business dealings with russia. republicans did everything they could to undermine michael cohen, even producing posters to underline the point that he isa posters to underline the point that he is a convicted liar. right in front of this committee, you came up with conflicting testimony, sir. you are pathological liar. you do not know truth and falsehood. sir, i am sorry, you're referring to me or the president? is my time. i ask you a question, i will ask you for an answer. “— question, i will ask you for an answer. —— it is. question, i will ask you for an answer. -- it is. michael cohen was accused of using this appearance as pa rt accused of using this appearance as part of attempts to secure lucrative book will tv deals, b

donald trump and congressman adam schiff going to do as democrats open a new russia probe. schiff, chairman of the house intelligence committee, announcing he will lead a wide-ranging investigation into the president's foreign business relationship and russian election meddling. >> we will not be intimidated or threatened by the president, the american people have a right to know and need to know the president is acting on their behalf and not for another reason. >> the committee voted to hand over several transcripts to robert mueller, donald trump reacting going after shift. >> he is just a political hack who is trying to build a name for himself. that is fine for that is what they do but there's no reason to do this. no other politician has to go through that. it is called residential harassment. >> robert mueller's investigation is thought to be winding down and maybe. and senators expect a report in a month and we expect more with tom fitton of judicial watch. tensions rising on the southern border as a once sleepy texas town faces an influx of thousands of migrants, b

donald trump should resign from that -- for that. there may be democrats who say, well, that's a double standard. if donald trump can get away with it, if steve king can get away with it, why can't ralph northam? well, you have to take the moral high ground. ralph northam and the democratic party can take the moral high ground by him resigning. true contrition for blackface, it also goes to competency. let me say this quickly. he knew this was in his yearbook. why would you put yourself up for office without dealing with that directly on the front end? that goes to competence. i'd love to know other people involved in helping him convince him or convince themselves this would never be found. he was vulnerable. you're talking about kompromat, his enemies in virginia, let's be honest, the people who found this were invirtuous. they are inviting against him because he has been a progressive since he's been governor. he was fighting to defend the reproductive rights for women. >> that's right. >> we got you, we'll show you as a racist. y

. >> and jeff bezos is by donald trump a declared enemy of donald trump. there is always a political agenda with the "national enquirer." the entire newspaper, yeah. >> to go back to the washington post coverage of this, jeff bezos makes the point tonight in his statement that there is a saudi connection to this story. he says the post's essential and unrelated coverage of the murder of its journalist jamal khashoggi is unpopular in person circles. the "national enquirer," the company, has been trying to obtain saudi finance. and, so, that they have an interest in making life difficult for jeff bezos and hoping they can possibly also influence saudi coverage in "the washington post." >> well, it's quite plain from looking at jeff bezos's letter that he published tonight that he's interested in what would be described as the saudi angle, whether that ends up developing and becoming a major part of the story i think it remains to be seen. but at this point it is still in the formative stages as far as this trajectory of this scandal. >> jerry george, knowing

donald trump jr. is at the top of his list. there have been public reporting that indicates he may have contradicted himself. but there's no telling how deep into this list he could be looking. >> go ahead. >> i just want to follow up dropt j donald trump jr. point, people around him have been setting up signals they feel like he's in the clear, after the reporting last week that the phone calls before and after the trump tower meeting to the block numbers weren't his father, weren't the now president but allies of his. i was in washington for the state of the union, at the trump hotel lobby, which we came through a watch party and donald trump was there walking around the lobby, taking pictures and signing autographs. very much feeling confident. >> and roger stone does that as well. >> he does it every day. but projecting the sense of it, but here's the reality, he's not in the clear. >> jared kushner too, when you bring jared kushner into it, it moves beyond russia. you also have china and saudi ar

us president donald trump is used to the limelight. vietnam's leaders less so but trump's summit with north korea's leader kim jong il has changed all that before his first meeting with kim on wednesday he met the host of this summit the country's prime minister and president on behalf of the united states i want to thank you very much for hosting and hopefully great things will happen later on with our meeting like north korea vietnam was once an enemy of the united states yet in spite of the history the relationship is now good with vietnam regarded as a strategic partner of the u.s. in asia. but it's trump's relationship with kim that's now the priority the hanoi summit to build on a historic meeting in singapore in june where they made of a commitment to rid the korean peninsula of some of the most powerful weapons created this time they need to agree a framework for how that'll happen vietnam was an acceptable choice to kim for this summit it's one of the few countries with the north korean embassy which came visited on tuesday ni

today we saw donald trump go off the rails. donald trump undermining his own case for declaring a national emergency to fund his border wall in one of the most bizarre speeches to date from this president. listen. >> you know, i never did politics before. now i do politics. there's rarely been a problem. they sign it. nobody cares. i guess they weren't very exciting. i use many stats. >> can you share those stats with us. >> let me tell you, you have stats that are far worse than the ones that i use. we would make up for the cost of the wall just in the cost of the fact that i would be able to have fewer people -- i want to wish our new attorney general great luck and speed and enjoy your life. we have all the records. we have every record. my button is bigger than yours and my button works, remember that? people said trump is crazy. >> his puzzling stream of consciousness speech declaring a national emergency led many to one conclusion, that trump is the national emergency. congress at historian norm ornstein tweeted, quote, t

it may not fit as much pore donald tru -- for donald trump. i know a lot of trump supporters have amnesia but donald trump was a huge fan of hillary clinton. not only did they go to weddings together, they went to donald and melania's wedding. he was a big contributor to hillary clinton, he was a big contributor to the dnc. he said she was a great secretary of state, she'd make a great president of the united states. donald trump loved hillary clinton but more than that he really loved hillary clinton. he started talking about birtherism, he could win the republican nomination and thought he could run, it would be really good for his brand. of course the worst thing happened and he ended up winning and it's been devastating for his brand. who knows, maybe all of his properties will be seized by the time robert mueller's done with him. it been a hell of a ride, though, hasn't it? if you were looking at donald trump's speech last night, it had all the worst elements there, donald trump attacking press freedoms, donald trump whipping his crowd in

and ivanka trump for questioning? >> i think certainly donald trump jr. based on michael cohen's testimony. it seems obvious at this point given the admission that he's executive to that donald trump jr. is under the investigation by the southern district of new york. and there are open questions of when that investigation is going to conclude. i think someone needs to ask the president if he's trying to pardon donald trump jr., if he is convicted of a crime. and some of those crimes he may get convicted of may be state crimes which you can't pardon. so we need to hear from donald trump jr. >> based on -- you see suspicion of varies crimes. three specific crimes committed by the president of the united states. is it time to begin impeachment proceedings in the house of representatives? >> i think this raises very serious questions. i still believe we need to finish the investigation. wait for mueller's report, and we need to see what the southern district of new york concludes. it seems there's a lot more in the southern district of new york than we knew

vote for donald trump. keep that 57% in mind every day of the presidential campaign and ask yourself, what did donald trump do today to change the minds of about 20% of those people who have decided to vote against him? because that's what donald trump has to do to win reelection. he has to change the minds of people who have already made up their minds that he does not deserve reelection and that they definitely are not going to vote for him. donald trump did nothing today to change any of those minds. and these leaks from inside the trump administration this weekend will do nothing to change those minds. one of those leaks reinforces the image of donald trump as a reckless man in a job where recklessness presents a danger not just to americans but to the world. john walcott of "time" magazine who will join us in just a moment obtained accounts of president trump's approach to intelligence issues. in his report john walcott said, senior intelligence briefers are breaking two years of silence to warn that t

with donald trump. also, we learnt that he said that he believes donald trump implicitly told him to lie to congress about president's business dealings in russia, as relating to the building of this project that was at one time proposed, this trump tower in moscow. then there was the big issue, the one about wikileaks. this suggestion that donald trump knew that wikileaks were planning to release details of democratic that had been hacked by russian hackers, at suggestions that he was told beforehand by roger stone, a this long—time political ally and one—time political strategist for donald trump, that the e—mails were going to be released. that contradicts some of what donald trump zoe said on record, it gives you sense that that is something that robert mueller himself would be interested in. —— has already said on record. truthfully, this was incredible political theatre, this was republicans and democrats at times making speeches rather than questioning michael cohen, and at the middle o

is not saying that donald trump directed him to lie in front of congress he did say that donald trump spoke a kind of code and we understood that code. and he took that to mean i should lie to congress. >> that is right. i reached out to abbie lowell, and look, you're absolutely right in your assessment. i would add that when you look at the plea documents and the southern district prosecutor, they don't quite describe this episode in the same way. there is no mention of the means to donald trump, so he went further today in a damming way and raising questions about whether or not there was perform or witness tampering. i think there is more based on what he said than didn't said. there was no collusion that i'm aware of. if he was lying, wouldn't that have been the easiest and most daming lie to make up? we we look to see that a cop ra -- coop ray tor is says things, and he didn't say go in and lie to congress, donald trump would reinforce over and over again we're not doing any business in russia. >> u why would these details not have shown up in any charging or filing that we have

fernando: el presidente donald trump dio su discurso anual al congreso. el presidente de trump finalmente dio el discurso sobre el estado de la uniÓn llamando a romper el estancamiento polÍtico. citando el caso de una familia de nevada que fue asesinada por un indocumentado, pidiÓ asegurar la frontera a lo que llamÓ un tema moral. >>incluye asistencia monetaria, masa gente, detecciÓn de drogas, cerrando puertos que permiten el trÁfico de niÑos, una barrera fÍsica, un muro, para asegurar Áreas de nuestro puesto de entrada. hernando: el fiscal general de california, javier becerra, indicÓ que la administración de donald trump intenta realizar muchos muros. >>la idea de proclamar emergencia la frontera cuando no existe para justificar robar fondos que le pertenecen a los desamparados, a los huracanes, e inundaciones, para pagar por el muro no sÓlo es inmoral sino ilegal. fernando: victoria morales y otros, despedido recientemente de los campos de golf de donald trump fueron invitadas. >>basta ya de que somos violadores, que somos ladrones, querem

where donald trump jr. was asked in his congressional testimony were these numbers of your father. he said he did not know. donald trump has a blocked number at his primary residence, so that fed a lot of suspicion that, in fact, donald trump was the person who had this conversation, but now we have learned that the senate intelligence committee has been told that it was not his father but two of donald trump jr.'s business asocie business associate. >> there's other calls that weren't blocked. they will have known who those were to and from. the question that matters the most is whether trump senior knew about the meeting or not. now, we know these blocked calls were not to or from him. does that do anything to answering the fundamental question which is did he know about it. >> we still don't know. donald trump has denied. donald trump junior has denied his father knew about it before and after. they've said that pretty clearly. but that's all we're really going off of, their denials. the question is did

trump and defender of donald trump. this is not some stranger that donald trump did not know who this guy was from the beginning. it does speak to the old donald trump, the question is i hire the best people. well, michael cohen, is the best kind of person you hire. emerson says the institution is a length of a shadow of a man. i am curious if donald trump agrees with that. >> okay, last word. thank you. i appreciate it. thanks don. >> rats, mobster, some of the words used at cohen's hearing today. sounds like a mob movie than a congressional hearing, does it? and a dedicated advisor to help you grow and protect your wealth. fidelity wealth management. to help you grow and protect your wealth. hey, who are you? oh, hey jeff, i'm a car thief... what?! i'm here to steal your car because, well, that's my job. what? what?? what?! (laughing) what?? what?! what?! [crash] what?! haha, it happens. and if you've got cut-rate car insurance, paying for this could feel like getting robbed twice. so get allstate... and be better pro

trump is asking question donald trump is asking himself. the concern he has about who can beat him in 2020. ics say is number one in the nation? sure, they probably know what they're talking about. or the one that j.d. power says is highest in network quality by people who use it every day? this is a tough one. well, not really, because verizon won both. so you don't even have to choose. why didn't you just lead with that? it's like a fun thing. (vo) chosen by experts. chosen by you. and now get apple music included, on us. it's the unlimited plan you need on the network you deserve. switch now and get $300 off our best phones. each day justin at work... walk. and after work. he does it all with dr. scholl's. only dr. scholl's has massaging gel insoles that provide all-day comfort. to keep him feeling more energized. dr. scholl's. born to move. we all make excuses for the things we don't want to do. but when it comes to colon cancer screening... i'm not doin' that. i eat plenty of kale. ahem, as i was saying... ...with cologuard, you don't

process for donald trump couldn't get any worse for donald trump and mr cohen is a very very important building block in making the case about or against donald trump and how bad he is for the country for the united states for the world and as a president if you ask republicans and his supporters of course not only in the comedy but in the senate or. in the house as well as in the country don't forget thirty percent. of americans are his core base so they are supporting the president and they will support the president beyond what mr cohen now said they will wipe this away and say it doesn't really matter mr cowen himself is a bad character and a crook that's why he will go to present a prison after all and the president can don't do no bad adults so the country remains along those fault lines political fallout it's divided. that was a stefan see correspondent in washington let me now bring you up to date with some other stories making news around the world thousands of supporters of the invited venezuelan president nicolas maduro have taken to the streets of the capital caracas they w

that donald trump wasn't -- that donald trump was a racist. and congressman meadows was trying to make the claim he wasn't, simply by pointing to black people. that's just -- we're at a point in 2019 that can't be -- can't stand any longer. >> then chairman cummings is put in the middle of it. he's trying to tamp down the tension. surprised a lot of people, frankly, who don't work on capitol hill, talking about his friendship with mark meadows. they spent time back and forth talking about that. i wonder what your take is on what happened yesterday? >> well, look, eddie's right. pointing out that you have a black friend or black relatives does not prove you're not a racist or have racial bias. but i thought elijah cummings did himself a big favor yesterday. he came between the two members. he de-escalated the situation very skillfully. he didn't seem to take a side. casting aspersions on another member in the committee is against the rules. that could have been the fight. he managed today get her to say no, i'm not directly calling him a racist

donald trump mentioned moving on to something new. the reality is a lot of things, until we get this wall accomplished and finished, that is going to be a fight he will not give up easily. he campaigned about it, still talks about it on a daily basis. we want to build this wall, have to build this wall, need to build this wall to secure the borders. heather: chuck schumer supported it in the past. let's listen to the democratic rebuttal and i want you to respond to this as well. >> making livelihood of our federal workers a pond for political gain is a disgrace. the shutdown was a stunt engineered by the president of the united states. >> our government belongs to each and every one of us, not just a few. heather: your response. >> democrats are going to build the momentum we had three or four months ago in the midterm election when a historic amount of democrats wept into office running on what donald trump was talking about. he is saying these things but not doing the other. instead of me talking about a poll the best poll that was

, as donald trump said. no, listen, he's always, as we've said, he's always encouraged this, he's always celebrated this. he is not shocked by this. apparently his silence shows this is exactly what he wants. >> yeah. and kristin, i think it used to be easier to poll people's beliefs, what they support and don't support, but this president has put the truth on the line. and i wonder at this point what we would see if we took a look at exactly what people believed to be when it comes to the press or this presidency. >> well, we know that voters and not just conservative voters do have serious reservations about whether they think they can trust the media, that those numbers have been declining over the course of the last decade, but there's a really big difference between saying, you know, i don't know that i can trust everything i see in the news and i'm going to go google search to try to figure out how i can cause physical harm to reporters. there's a huge leap there. there are always crazy individuals out

trump and donald trump jr. some of those issues we are just getting into. >> so the roger stone's conversation and don jr.'s consideration. it raised concerns that donald trump jr. went behind donald trump's desk and whispered something to him. he speculated they were talking about the trump tower meeting with the russian lawyer who's offering dirt on hillary clinton. is he giving you anymore examples of moments where he became suspicious or conversations he had? >> again, we are just getting into that line of questioning. we'll cover a lot of ground today, it has been a little slow going. he's also giving us a very good sense of the working relationship within the trump organization and president trump's relationships with other people in the relation we are trying to get a general sense of how culpable and how much knowledge he had. >> how much would donald trump know or how much did he stand to know according to cohen? >> my question is that he basically ran that thing like a key. he knew everything that was

is, is that you didn't do this for donald trump, to protect donald trump. you did it for you. this is all about you. this is all about this twitter feed and great -- let me read one of those, another one. women who love and support michael cohen, strong, pitbull, sex symbol, no nonsense, business oriented and -- >> 1,000 followers? >> ready to make a difference against the law. that's pretty sad. you know, over and over again, you know, we wanted to have trust. it's built on the premise that we're truthful, that we come forward. but there's no truth with you whatsoever. that's why i -- that's important to you, to look up here and look at the old adage that our moms told us, liar, liar, pants on fire. no one should ever listen to you and give you credibility. it's sad. it's sad that we have come -- in fact i want to quote the chairman's very words. this is a real -- hold on. >> the gentleman's time has expired. >> sad state. >> several times in your testimony you state the bad things you did for mr. trump. at some point you apparently changed your course of action. there is a r

trump the businessman and donald trump the president. >> one last thing. is it going to change anything? is his testimony going to change anything? >> i think it will. i actually think, without trying to be overly dramatic, the extent to which he can give us a bird's-eye view of what went on in trump towers, in the trump organization, has documents to back it up, could be very compelling. >> california congresswoman jackie speier, we appreciate it. >>> and the president is about to meet with kim jong-un. we have reporting on what could be on the table. but right after this break, russia will be the focus of tomorrow's testimony, but the men who wrote the book on donald trump's relationship with russia have some suggested questions for lawmakers, and they run the gamut from beyond russia as well. they join me next. well they join me next. "four on four" with a barbershop quartet? [quartet singing] bum bum bum bum... pass the ball... pass the rock.. ...we're open just pass the ball! no, i can't believe how easy it was to save hundreds of dollars on my car in

donald trump has not done that at all. we just concluded a six-week shutdown that is essentially a temper tantrum on his part inflicting damage on the country and 800,000 federal employees. he has been in a very public argument with his own security officials, disputing what they said on television and in transcripts. the man is untethered from the truth and i think this ritual that he's a part of, regardless of what's on the teleprompter, he has demeaned the presidency and i'm not going to dignify it with my presence. >> what would you like to see given constitution statement that there is a state of the union, it need not be given in person, would you think it would be fitting if the entire hall was effectively empty and he had to address an empty hall, if you convince your colleagues to go along with you? >> well, it would be i think fitting. look at the manufactured crisis, if he was being honest, he would admit the crisis at the boarder is one he created, that we could just treat people according to l law, not separat

trump or on behalf donald trump might have been the one to hand them over to the national enquirer? >> yes. in the investigation conducted by the jeff bezos security team, one of the theories discussed between the security consultant andic mooal sanchez who is the brother of lauren sanchez who is roam antically linked with jeff bezos was they could have been acquired by musaud or british intelligence, mi 6. that is their theory. we're not saying that's true and we're not even saying they're certain that happened that way. but they discussed it and we have reviewed electronic communications between parties in which that is discussed. i would add one other important thing. gavin debecker has said he's reached the conclusion that jeff bezos' phone was not hacked and that's why he think as government entity could possibly have been the one to acquire thetects messages. >> and are there direct links between david picker the ami company that owns the national enquirer and foreign government? >> we havant uncovered that and haven't reported that. what we reported is that theory has beenxpl
