paul: yeah. this question of independence that the justice department has from the president, of course, it's not under the constitution an independent body. it reports to the president. the president is the chief law enforcement officer of the united states. and yet you certainly don't want, as you suggested, cases, investigations to be seen or to be politicized in any way. how do you as an attorney general walk that line? >> it's a delicate line to walk because you are a member of the administration, and you carry out administration policy in setting priorities at the justice department. but that is entirely different from whether you bring a case or stop a case at the behest of the white house for political reasons that serve the interests of the white house. that is something that is simply not done. and, you know, interestingly, you say that it's not a constitutional issue. the justice department isn't provided for in the constitution. it's entirely a creation of statute. and the relationshi

he had a chat with senator paul before and after the meeting, wolf. >> senator paul, defended the president's sort of cozy relationship with putin. suggesting that russia may not necessarily be an adversary. what was his message? rand paul's message today on the scene. you were there. >> reporter: yeah. you know, it was interesting because the russians are happy with rand paul's visit. a part of the trip that he has here that we didn't have full access to but according to the official russian news agency he said that there was sanctions hysteria in the united states. i want to read you another quote, as well. according to him. the trump's hands are tied he says behind his back. he can't advocate for greater cooperation between the countries because all this will look like, oh, you love russia. i'm in favor of relationship. i'm not here to justify the behavior or anyone else's. there you have him saying a lot of things that the russians certainly quite happy to hear. in fact, looking at russian state-run television they seem to be quite happy about the visit and this seems curious to us. appar

liberty ♪ >>> today after the prosecution of paul manafort put 27 witnesses on the witness stand paul manafort's criminal defense lawyers rolled the dice on silence. the manafort defense is silence. not one word of testimony from the manafort defense. paul manafort is facing the risk of a sentence that could put him in prison for the rest of his life, and he did not take the stand in his own defense. and his lawyers called no witnesses in paul manafort's defense. instead the defense immediately asked the judge for a directed verdict of not guilty because they said the prosecution did not present evidence that paul manafort committed the crimes he is charged with. the judge, t.s. ellis, immediately denied the defense's motion for a directed verdict, as is customary in these cases. the judge indicated that he was satisfied that the prosecution did indeed present evidence that paul manafort was possibly guilty of all 18 counts that he is charged with. it will now be up to the jury to decide if the prosecution proved that paul manafort is guilty of those counts beyond a reasonable doubt.

dashwood it only pertain to paul manafort?> >> -- what it only pertain to opponent this cooperator wile stronger evidence and presumably some evidence pertaining to paul manafort and could have an impact on whether paul manafort decides to corporate. it is still a possibility, based on filings we saw this week, that palm in fort has not closed -- paul manafort has not close the door to corporate with robert mueller. vonnie: if you does that, no possibility of a pardon, it is a tossup. >> if he cooperates with the robert mueller investigation, it removes the possibility of a pardon. it is part of the calculus paul manafort is going through every day. cooperators doy we have now in this washington, d.c. trial? >> the most important was his his former partner rick gates who testified in the first palm in a court trial -- paul manafort trial. we have not heard from general michael flynn who pleaded guilty and has been incorporating with special counsel. there are probably others we are not aware of because they have not been publi

and i would be stunned if paul manafort took the stand in this case. particularly because of the mountain of evidence, paper, document evidence that the government has against him. you said it could come down to sort of a contest of who do you believe, paul manafort or rick gates. but the government does not see it that way. he made a point of saying today this case doesn't rest on any one witness. this is a case where we have two dozen witnesses, many of whom don't know one another, some of whom worked for manafort, some didn't, and we have more than 100 documents that we're going to show you and some of those were introduced into evidence today. and the prosecution really painted an astonishing portrait of greed and deceit, lawrence. you went through some of it. but there are really two parts to this fraud that they're alleging. manafort was working for this ukrainian politician backed by russia, and he was paid a fortune. some $60 million over many years. but it wasn't enough according to the prosecution. he had to get paid in a way that allowed him

no witnesses, no testimony from paul manafort. we will -- the jury will have this case tomorrow night. >> it seems like the defense was pretty restful before they rested. you know what i mean? like not only did they not put the defendant on the stand, which of course would have been amazing blockbuster drama, but they didn't put any other witnesses on the stand, nor did they introduce evidence, substantial evidence. so it's -- i mean, this is a legitimate and mainstream legal theory about how you defend your client, you try to create the impression in the jury that the prosecution doesn't even bear responding to their case was so weak. but those closing arguments tomorrow are going to be a big deal. it's going to be fascinating. >> there's one line of evidence in this case that stands completely unrefuted by the defense. there was no cross-examination on this. and that was a treasury official getting on the stand and saying paul manafort did not report the existence of the following foreign bank accounts. that's the description of

where is paul? paul manafort. >> reporter: but soon, manafort was pushed out. amid a swirl of stories about his work for ukrainian officials with ties to moscow. >> i've always found paul to be a very decent man. it was pretty tough stuff. >> reporter: last week, even as the jury deliberated, president trump still rooting for his former campaign chairman. >> i think it's a very sad day for our country. he worked for me for a very short period of time. butns to be a very good person. and i think it's very sad, what they've done to paul manafort. >> reporter: mr. trump refused to rule out a pardon. and today, sounding dismayed about the verdict. >> it's very sad this happened. this started as russian collusion, it has absolutely nothing to do. it's a witch hunt and a disgrace. >> pierre with us here. and manafort faces significant time in federal prison, perhaps the rest of his life. and he faces yet another trial on separate charges from the special counsel in just a few weeks? >> reporter: that's right. he faces another trial in washington, d.c., beginning sept

paul manafort has done an amazing job be. he's here someplace. where is paul? paul plan for tmanafort. haven't spoken to him in a long time, but i know him. he was with the campaign for a short period of time. i feel badly about it, they went back 12 years to get things that he did 12 years ago. paul manafort worked for me for a short period of time. what, 49 days or something? very short period of time. >> conversations with himself, president trump talking to president trump there at one point praising paul manafort and then distancing himself from his former campaign chairman. man fort now in manafort now in a virginia jail as his case heads into its second week in alexandria. my panel is back with me and eric tucker, reporter, is joining us. he has been inside that courtroom. we'll get into the high end real estate in a second, but i want to ask you about the prosecution's case regarding the books. what did we learn from the accountants? >> i would say the biggest revelation yesterday was from a tax keeper, an accountant for paul manafort who said that she

a big development in the paul manafort trial. just moments ago the defense resting without presenting a case, without calling any witnesses. also, the judge throwing out a motion by manafort's lawyers. they hope to dismiss bank fraud and other charges against the former trump campaign chairman. let's get straight to shimon prokupecz. this is a big risk taken by the defense team here, deciding no witnesses, no case. >> yeah, it's a huge risk. this just happening moments ago. so we're sort of digesting it. certainly we were not sure if paul manafort was going to put on a defense. attorneys had not indicated to us they would. we did not expect manafort, of course, to take the stand. nonetheless, there is overwhelming evidence here by the prosecutors, the special counsel team, and the evidence and testimony they put forth. it is a little surprising there's no case here, that they're not putting on any kind of defense. it is a risky move. we'll see what they argue in closing arguments. of course, as you know, they've been making a big

paul: it is mainly oil prices. they are shot up part because of the situation in venezuela and the middle east. then there is the iran deal, and with trump pulling out of it and slapping sanctions on the global supply of oil will be tightened furthe driving up prices at the pump and check out. pres. trump: we have had record numbers come we have had numbers nobody believed poss paul: the best numbers -- i guess it depends ons which o you are looking at. rajini: even the world's best athletes need a new challenge from time to time. he has already broken world records and woa haul of metals as a runner, but now usain bolt is ready for something new. the 8-time olympic jacket has -- champion has begun training with an australian football team. critics say it is little more than a publicity stunt. reporter: he may be the fastest man in the world, but usain bolt has a lot of catching up to do if he really he is to become a professional footballer. today is his 32nd birthday, a age when some players start to ink about re

paul manafort did. and of course he committed crimes. that's what paul manafort was doing. and gates took responsibility for it, and that's why he's here today. >> and, ken, to mimi's point that prosecution is never relying on any one witness, the gates testimony follows one of the shortest witnesses in the case so far, federal official simply pointing out the fact that they never reported any of the, what, 15, 14 or so foreign bank accounts that they were legally required to report, gates and manafort. that's just fact at this point. >> yes, lawrence. absolutely right. that's why i have been saying tonight that even if gates totally collapsed under cross-examination and the jury discounts everything he says, there is still a pretty strong case against paul manafort on exactly the point that you just made. there was a treasury agent who testified about the requirements to report foreign bank accounts. paul manafort didn't report any of him. and his tax preparer said the reason is because she never disclosed them to her. she was totally unaware of them and that is a felony i

prosecutors say paul manafort lied about stashing money offshore. accountants say the former trump campaign chairman was cooking the books, and the government's star witness still hasn't taken the stand. >>> and pompeo versus the president. even as president trump lavishes praise on kim jong-un, secretary of state mike pompeo now says the north korean leader is not living up to his commitment to denuclearize. are they on the same page? i'm wolf blitzer, and you're in "the situation room." >> this is cnn breaking news. >> breaking news. special counsel robert mueller's team met this week with a woman named kristen davis, better known as the manhattan madam following a notorious new york prosecution scandal. davis is a friend of roger stone, a long-time donald trump confidante, and sources say investigators are interested in having her go before a grand jury which adds to the growing likelihood that mueller is building a case against stone. possibly even congress swalwell of the intelligence and judiciary committees. our correspondents and specialists
