BREAKING: Trump Just Took Down Mueller's WITCH HUNT Team
what promises to be another busy week of confrontation and controversy at the
White House began today with new presidential attacks on the Russia
collusion probe and more damage control from presidential lawyer and recent
legal spokesman Rudy Giuliani correspondent Kevin cork starts us off
tonight with a bevy of topics from the North Lawn good even Kevin evening my
friend plenty to talk about now on a day that saw the first lady unveil her
b-best platform the president frankly Brett tried to take a back seat even
though he had sit in the front row at the Rose Garden still it was an early
morning tweet storm by the commander-in-chief that once again
managed to steal today's spotlight let us teach our children the difference
between right and wrong and encourage them to be best in their individual
paths in life a rarity at the White House today as first lady Melania Trump
not her husband took center stage rolling out her be best anti-bullying
campaign an effort which drew words of encouragement from the president Melania
your care and compassion for our nation's children and I have to say this
and I say to you all the time inspires us all but while the president
took second billing in the Rose Garden an early morning tweet star kept his
opinion about the ongoing Russia probe front and center again calling it a
witch-hunt writing about thirteen so-called angry Democrats adding just
wait till the courts get to see your unrevealed conflicts of interest that
likely a reference to the fact that more than a dozen members of the Muller team
have donated almost exclusively to Democratic candidates including to the
Hillary Clinton campaign and that according to Federal Election Commission
records it kind of gives the American people a glimpse of what we have to deal
with day in and day out with the abuses not so much of Bob Muller but of the
people that work for him I mean they're way over the top just how the White
House proceeds with the probe including questions about whether or not the
president would comply with a potential subpoena from Bob Muller is one that
outside counsel like Giuliani would have to consider
but over the weekend the former New York City Mayor was absolutely defiant in his
assessment of the president's right to do so
or not what happens if Robert Muller subpoenas the president will you comply
well we don't have to ease the present United States we can assert the same
privilege as other presidents have while legal experts can debate the merits of
the mayor's argument what remains clear is his roll out as a Trump team
surrogate handling the numerous legal entanglements has been less than smooth
something even Giuliani seemed to acknowledge when again trying to explain
his previous comments about whether or not the president knew Michael Cohen
paid stormy Daniels in the run-up to the 2016 election the facts I I'm still
learning this is you know 1.2 million documents I've been in the case for two
weeks virtually one day in comparison to other people so I I'm not an expert on
the facts yet I'm getting there Giuliani by the way Brett repeated his claim that
the payment to daniels wasn't a campaign expenditure it was not alone it was
simply a business expense I should also point this out press secretary Sarah
Sanders today called him an added value member of the president's outside legal
team one that continues to garner a great deal of the spotlight right Warren
all that with the panel Kevin thank you a federal judge dealing that second blow
to Robert mullahs case last weekend this time the judge in Paul manna Ford's case
demanding to know the scope of the probe accusing it of gunning for Trump's
impeachment or prosecution one or the other maybe both
but our next guest argues legally this may not be relevant at all here to
explain is Fox News senior judicial analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano know the
government for years has been prosecuting people just to squeeze them
to get information out of them to testify against somebody who's a bigger
target as reprehensible as this is because the form of bribery say what we
want to hear and we'll go easy on you it's a form of as I said bribery but the
courts have accepted that and there's no question but that's why they're after
Paul metaphor it they seem to think if it can put as much pressure on him as
possible he'll tell them something that they want to know
against their real target the President of the United States gates folded
blinfolded but mana Ford has not I honestly don't think mana fort will
judge Ellis is the first time to say we all know why you're here
show me the authority you have to do this because you are investigating bank
fraud that goes back a long time long before Donald Trump was running if a
president long before your office existed the thing is they'll get that
authority rod Rosenstein can write a letter today gonna make the authority
retroactive so they're going to be back to square one
but judge Ellis has done a good thing by pointing out to us that this is the way
the government works it's nothing new to people who used to be on the bench like
me or or watch these things for less nothing new you've heard a judge tear
into a prosecutor like this you're looking at a judge to a prosecutor
because the government is heavy-handed it is the duty of the judge to keep them
in place judge Ellis believes that that in this
case going after poor man afford for bank fraud that allegedly happened a
long time ago is heavy-handed and beyond his authority he'll get that authority
from rod roses that's moving the goalposts the judge made a good case and
that is explain to me why something that happened in 2005 pertains to something
that happened in 2016 tell you what what manna forts defenses to fascinating
defense all this bank fraud and tax fraud that Muller is indicted him for
he's already been investigated by the Justice Department and he was exonerated
by the Justice Department and guess who the lawyer was that signed the
exoneration a young Rod Rosenstein so guess who the first defense witness will
be rod Rosenstein who's the who's not force Michael Cohen is they don't like
what they see with Michael Cohen's background so they refer to Southern
District in New York you look at poor man afford they don't like what they see
they're nothing to do with the case why is it still mowers probe why does he
hand off Cohen but he doesn't hand off metaphor they think it's because of
geography Brian because he does have a grand jury in Alexandria Virginia and
one of these he doesn't have one up here I know it's not his case but Michael
Cohen will probably be prosecuted by scooters here in Manhattan but when he
negotiates for a guilty plea Gessle he'll be who he will be negotiating with
Bob Muller the whole thing all of it is tied to Muller's efforts to extract
information about the president he's turned you mentioned gates gates as his
star witness against the president because he knows everything that
happened good or bad whether it really happened or not in the campaign all
right let's talk about Snyderman the Attorney General and it's he a heap of
trouble right now but you have an interesting tie yes yeah well I was
stunned when I saw this obviously this has been going he resigned last night
correct but if you read the Peter struck Lisa page emails about the gaggle of FBI
agents that hated Trump that used to meet and find ways to to stifle him
there was one non-federal official there was Attorney General Schneiderman what
was he doing going from New York down to DC unless he was part of some effort to
prosecute the president and his people for state crimes in the state of New
York where the president's pardon power would
not work and now he's gone would that be relating to Trump University it would
either be related to Trump University where the president shortly after he got
elected signed a 25 million-dollar settlement or would be related to some
financial dealings here in New York City in his development days done yes no I
don't know who's gonna replace him and where that's going to go but it's a
setback for that effort I think it's up to the legislature now all right thank
you guys we all know if you write a negative story about fusion GPS you
never hear from Glenn Simpson again so I think reporters should consider their
sources and also report on their sources if their sources for example well and
Glenn Simpson and Dan Jones are still working with Russians to try to confirm
the unconfirmed ball that so that's Michael Caputo former campaign adviser
for the Trump team accusing the media of ignoring facts in favor of staying on
Glenn Simpson's good side Michael Caputo is here to explain the case he was
making yesterday how you doing Michael good morning to you and while you're in
the middle of all this right now you're making a case that reporters will
not report on fusion GPS because it will cost them information what kind of
information Michael well Dan Jones who's used to be a Senate Intelligence
Committee investigator on the Democrat side left Congress has started a company
called Penn Quarter group this group now according to his testimony as we read in
the House Intelligence report he's raised fifty billion dollars from about
ten Democratic donors out of California in New York which narrows it down some
to continue coordinating additional research by fusion GPS with Christopher
Steele the British spy that the Hillary Clinton campaign hired and also by the
way Christopher Steele as we know gets all of his information from present and
former KGB officers so we have a Democrat who says he's briefing all the
Intelligence Committee Democrat investigators also his former boss
senator Feinstein is is that is the Democratic leader of the Senate
Judiciary Committee which has turned their hearings into absolute perjury
traps so he also says he's briefing the FBI which he tries to intimated includes
the what you're trying to explain is how this thing goes round and round I'm how
are the American people supposed to understand this do you think Michael
based on your experience well you know I worked in Congress for a while and then
I worked with the media very closely when I ran the House of Representatives
radio and television gallery it took me a little while to figure out this little
you know two-step they that they do but the reporters work very closely with the
left on the hill on the left and like for example in the Obama administration
and these groups are organized and funded by high-dollar Democratic donors
the problem that reporters have is once they get addicted to these regular
briefings that they're getting from fusion GPS if they write a story about
how for example Dan Jones is now funding fusion GPS to work with spies for 50
million bucks nobody's writing that except for the federal
because nobody wants to if you write a bad story about Glenn Simpson that you
know it's like somebody cut off your drugs so if you want to be involved in
the continuing Russia collusion delusion you can't do anything bad well I heard
your statement on CNN yesterday that reporters are leaving facts and ethics
behind but I I just want to try and figure out what they're not reporting so
that we can get a better embrace of of what's happening behind the scenes and I
think all these movements within court and what this judge said last Friday is
very interesting on it all needs to be considered so we can understand the
context you however have been in the news for a very different reason you
were interviewed by mothers team for three hours last week you did a series
of interviews I saw you in every network and what you laid out Michael was how
your family's been exposed to what what you say is financial ruin and you make
the case that you're not the only one now since you've gotten public have you
have you had any blowback from them have you heard from the mother team or not no
I haven't but you know III don't I'm not in any legal peril I'm a witness not a
target or a subject and they know that and and they say they watch me on till
they told me they watch me on TV which to me means be really careful what you
say but if they bring me back it's only really to punish me with more legal fees
and now that the Trump supporters across the country have gone to my GoFundMe
pages and been so generous I'm not afraid of them anymore
and I'll tell you the worst thing bill is that I'm just the only person out
there talking about this there are another dozen or more people
middle-class families whose dad or mom has been dragged into this and they're
they're racking up legal fees and they're afraid to talk to because they
don't know how they're gonna pay for it and they think if they talk on in the
media that they're going to be hauled in again and punished with more legal fees
because if you're not going to be investigated if you're not going to be
indicted if you're not going to jail they're gonna break you financially
because that's about ruining every single one I did to be clear you were on
TV making a point last week that if you think Russian collusion
the questioning of it is dead you're wrong because all the questions directed
at you centered on that is that correct and were those questions about the
president or were they about other people well first of all I still have to
be careful because I don't want to be get myself in a legal Jam up they may
accuse me of obstruction myself but I'll tell you they wouldn't be asking me
about you know about obstruction then the whole Flynn and Comey thing they
wouldn't be asking me about financial crimes which I had nothing to do with
they'd be focused on me for Russian collusion because I was there in the
Trump campaign from November 15 to June 16 which they think is the window when
it started of course that's just simply not true
I got a lot of questions all on collusion none of about the president
none of them about anybody with the last name Trump some people inside and
outside the campaign of course we're discussed and I'll tell you they don't
have anything new and what they thought might be new is not not even factual
there is no Russian collusion on the Trump campaign there never was and I
don't think the Muller team has anything Michael Caputo reacting again today
thank you sir for coming back thank you very much thank you you bet thank you
thank you god bless you and God bless america
you
