And his decision as he said to me late one night, to hit the reset button on his life and his previous loyalty to such a man that he considered especially after Helsinki to be a danger to our country as President of the United States. His lack of suitability to be President of the United States. Caused him to recognize the danger of this particular President. We talked very intensely about what caused him to change his mind about Donald Trump and the only way to put it, it may sound a little bit (inaudible) was patriotism and love of country. DAVIS: When I first spoke to Michael Cohen and took several weeks for the two of us to get to know each other on the phone before we ever met.
I would never hurt him and now we've come to this. LEMON: How far is he willing to go? Because I just want to ask you, because, you know, for years, he is been saying, you know, I will protect this President, I'm very loyal to Donald Trump, I'm not going to flip. Well, now, he is - stepped up to the line and he can now speak again. And has been unable to speak, because of this cloud after the massive search warrant was executed including even his children's telephones. This is a man with a very big heart, who loves his family, loves his country. That there is also a liberation in Michael's voice. Suffering for his family, his children, the life he is been forced to lead with the cloud of doubt facing criminal prosecution. CLINTON SPECIAL COUNSEL: Yes, a combination of relief. First off, have you spoken to Michael? What is he doing? What does he say? LANNY DAVIS, ATTORNEY FOR MICHAEL COHEN, FORMER PRES. Lanny, thank you so much for joining us this evening. So let's bring in now, Michael Cohen's attorney, Lanny Davis. A White House source telling CNN that - this was not a good day for the home team. A man who once said he would take a bullet for Donald Trump now says he broke a federal law with the same man, Donald Trump, with the president. Saying he broke campaign finance laws, quote, in coordination and at the direction of a candidate for federal office. Michael Cohen, not the only copped to his part in coordinating hush money payments one month before the election, but directly implicated the President as well. And then there's the other huge legal story tonight, President Trump's one time personal attorney admitting in federal court today, his role in paying for the silence of an ex-playboy model and an adult film actress who alleged affairs with the President. Prosecutors laid out reams of evidence highlighting, how Manafort made millions at advising Ukrainian politicians, pushing pro-Russian policies. Plus, any matters that arose or may arise directly from the investigation.
Mueller, is authorized to investigate any links and/or coordination between the Russian government and individuals associated with the campaign of President Donald Trump. While the President continues to push the lie that the case against Manafort wasn't part of the Special Counsel's original mission, I want you to look at what the Trump appointed acting Attorney General wrote. Victory for Robert Mueller, in the first trial, to come out of his investigation. Former trump campaign chairman, Paul Manafort guilty of eight financial crime charges. The man who led the President's campaign for five critical months leading up to the election, found guilty in federal court. A source tells CNN that White House staffers are stunned by today's news.
