Rudy Giuliani JOINS Trump's Legal Team To Help END Russia Investigation
President Trump is not the target of the investigation of longtime personal
attorney Michael Cohen we're learning tonight the president has received that
assurance from the Deputy Attorney General and the Trump legal team has
grown by one former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani is now on board let's get the
latest from chief White House correspondent John Roberts traveling
with the president in West Palm Beach Florida good evening John
Breck addicted to you some fast-moving developments this afternoon first
sources close to the investigation tell FOX News Dan last week in an oval office
meeting with the number of principals including the president Rod Rosenstein
the Deputy Attorney General told the president that he is not a target of the
Michael Cohen investigation that Cohen is the only target of that investigation
you'll remember a week ago Monday Cohen's office's home in his hotel
wormer rated at the FBI coming in and taking virtually everything that was in
there and in subsequent court documents we find out that Cohen had three clients
the major one of which was the president but rod Rosen Stein telling the
president he is not a target which raises a question if how does he know
that for it to be a fact if prosecutors have not had an opportunity to look at
the materials that were seized in Cohen's home because they have been tied
up in litigation the president and Cohen wanting to have a Special Master look at
those documents to find out which ones are subject to attorney-client privilege
and then there is the revelation this afternoon that Rudy Giuliani is joining
the team in a statement the president saying Rudy is great he has been my
friend for a long time and wants to get this matter quickly resolved for the
good of the country and back just a second again to the
assurance from rod Rosenstein that the president was not a target of the Comey
invested the Cohen investigation should information arise where the president
does become a target of that investigation that could be problematic
for the investigation because here you have the Deputy Attorney General saying
he's not a target and then subtly becomes a target and again there was
some very prominent people in that room all of this on what was yet another busy
day for the White House to began with a trip to the Florida Keys President Trump
had border security on his mind today jetting off to Key West this morning
ground zero in the East Coast battle against drugs and human trafficking
talking about drugs and stopping these drugs and other things human trafficking
some of the other forms of trafficking President Trump also had his sights
trained on America's West Coast with some choice words for California's
governor who agreed to stand National Guard troops to the border but not to
assist in immigration control President Trump tweeting Governor Jerry Brown
announced he will deploy up to 400 National Guard troops to do nothing the
crime rate in California is high enough and the federal government will not be
paying for Governor Brown charade we need border security and action not
words and the president praising San Diego County for joining the federal
lawsuit against sanctuary cities twitting today california's dangerous
policies released violent criminals back into our communities putting all
americans at risk president Trump hopes to address another
critical security issue North Korea's nuclear program in a planned summit with
Kim jong-un in a news conference with japan's Prime Minister the president
said he's prepared to walk if Kim isn't serious about denuclearization if I
think that it's a meeting that is not going to be fruitful we're not going to
go if the meeting when I'm there is not fruitful I will respectfully leave the
meeting today another positive sign South Korea announcing that Kim has
dropped his demands that US troops vacate the Korean Peninsula as a
condition for dismantling his nuclear program and the White House continues to
work on a location for the meeting Fox News is told that among the possible
sites are Singapore Sweden and Switzerland less likely but still under
consideration is Vietnam as president Trump works at a North Korean break
through relations with Russia took another hit Russia today demanding
compensation for tariffs on steel and aluminum Russia claims the tariffs are
guard measures designed to protect us companies and not as president Trump has
claimed a matter of national security and despite a Sunday claim by ambassador
nikki Haley that more sanctions against Russia were imminent president Trump
said at mar-a-lago nothing is planned at least not right now well do sanctions as
soon as they very much deserve it we will have that is a question there has
been nobody tougher on Russia than president Donald Trump the president was
asked about it yesterday but did not respond to what was responsible for the
disconnect between what he was thinking about Russian sanctions and what the
United Nations ambassador said on Sunday morning but the White House felt
compelled on Sunday to put in a call to the Russian ambassador in Washington DC
and say we're not planning any sanctions at least not right now right on that a
bit later John Roberts in West Palm Beach John thanks this is a familiar
face joins the president's legal team former federal prosecutor and New York
City Mayor Rudy Giuliani is now on board all that coming just as deputy AG rod
Rosenstein told the president that he is not a target in the michael cohen
investigation alan dershowitz harvard law professor emeritus with me now and
sir good to have you back with us by way of Skype we'll take you any way we can
get you and I got a long list of things here so let's get let's get after it Ken
Starr last night said that Rudy Giuliani more than any other attorney in America
is perfect for this position do you agree with him and why would that be if
so I think he is a very very good choice because a he's a superb lawyer I went
against him in several high-profile cases and he's a great great lawyer in
addition to being you know a politician than somebody who's deeply loyal to the
president second the focus is now shifting from Washington DC to I think
the Southern District of New York and he's the former US Attorney of the
Southern District he knows how they played this game he knows what to look
for and he also is widely respected in the US Attorney's Office in the Southern
District of New York so he brings to bear all the qualities that the
president needs great lawyer contacts good judgment and political
experience okay so what you're referring to is the case that involves Michael
Cohen here in New York that's the big K and that's the black bear you've got
this report saying that Rosen Stein told the president he wasn't a target of that
is that true what would he know what do you make of that of course he's not a
target because they haven't even gone through the files the risk is that he
could become a target on two possible basis what if they flipped Cohen and
they get him not only to sing but to compose to make up stories to elaborate
when you're facing twenty years you'll do anything to stop the process of
landing you in in federal prison or second they could find material in the
files that are incriminated to the president look we have a presumption of
innocence and I've seen no indication that President did anything wrong
neither before he became president or after he became president but if I were
on his legal team which I am most assuredly not I would be focusing my
attention on the Southern District of New York and the state attorney general
of New York rather than on Muller I think another case is on the way to
being wounded down I want to get to the Comey memos but just just to put a fine
point on the Rosenstein matter here's an apology Anna last night with Bret
he says Rosen Stein would not even know this information this this is how he
explained it quick reaction after this watch rod Rosenstein could not know
what's in those documents first of all the documents and tapes are enough to
fill a small pickup truck secondly they're in an FBI vault a quick answer
on it Z right Rosen Stein doesn't know of course of course he's right that's
why he says he's not a target now now leaves open the possibility you become a
target once the files are looked into either because Cohn flips so because
there's incriminating MMS we should not assume that we should entrust the
judgment the president is presumed innocent and seems likely to me that he
isn't it okay now back to the memos here's from the Republicans in Congress
good Latin Ghouta you Nunez part of their statement reads like this former
director Comey's memo show the president made clear he wanted allegations of
collusion coordination of conspiracy between his campaign
Russia fully investigated the memos also show former director Comey never wrote
that he felt obstructed or threatened end quote
okay that is their take what is yours well I think the memos are not
incriminating there are somewhat ambiguous they're self-serving but in
the end I think they will help not hurt the president if he were to face any
kind of legal charges because you'd expect the head of the FBI to be a lot
firmer about alleged criminal conduct if he was a direct witness to it and of
course Comey has provided the Trump defense with the greatest possible
weapon if he ever takes the stand against Trump and that is manuscripts of
his book earlier drafts ole would subject them to cross-examination plus
the memos which will be unredacted when it comes to trial so I think this is
probably a benefit to the president rather than a detriment okay interesting
on that now when you'll also look at the special counsel and you're no fan of the
special counsel what was there now go ahead and like strain your ability to
argue against your own brain okay is there anything in those 15 pages that
suggests there is a reason why a special counsel should be appointed I don't
think so I don't think a special counsel ever should've been appointed the more
we learn the more we see that what was necessary was an objective nonpartisan
Commission of experts looking into the role of Russia and trying to influence
American elections in the past the president in the future without pointing
fingers of recrimination and people other than the Russians based on the
appointment of a special counsel it was a mistake to appoint special counsel and
it was a mistake not to appoint a bipartisan Commission to do something
that benefits all Americans and that is get the Russians out of our electorate
if you think about that and I don't know if this is so much a legal question
because I know you want to deal in facts here and we're trying to do that does it
bother you that you know portions of the US government allowed the former FBI
director to go public and trash a duly elected president way they voted for him
or not I don't think you did well they like his policies or not I think he
liked some of his policies maybe not some others and and only release the
memos after they were there han was forced by subpoena
on behalf of House Republicans and this was coming three or four days later
does that bother you I'm did does that for those who believe in a deep state
does this smell like that well what I care deeply about transparency and
freedom of speech and so the more that's out there the better look the only case
I remember ever losing is a First Amendment lawyer was the Frank's inept
case where he was a CIA agent tried to write a book wrote a book called decent
indigo and the government took all of his money back because they said
although there was no classified material he breached his contract in his
understanding with the government by revealing secrets in a book for profit
and I'm wondering whether the government isn't looking into that with Comey as
well he revealed secrets stuff he should never have revealed private
conversations with the President and with others for profit so I think under
the snap doctrine he may have a problem well Alan Dershowitz thank you Sarah
hope we get a chance to talk next week who knows we will be then thank you sir
for your time today thank you god bless you and God bless
america
you
