Tonight on The Last Word: Donald Trump is charged with 34 felonies in the hush-money case. Dan Horwitz, Jeremy Saland, Catherine Christian, Andrew Weissmann and Lanny Davis join Lawrence O'Donnell.

First, as Donald Trump prepares for his day in court, what do we know about the evidence against the former president and how will his attorneys handle the case? Dana Bash speaks with Trump's personal lawyer Joe Tacopina, who describes Trump's upcoming arraignment as "a day the rule of law in the United States has died."  Next, lawyer Lanny Davis, who now represents Trump's former personal lawyer/"fixer" Michael Cohen, provides his (very different) take on the Trump indictment.   Then, Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) weighs in on the indictment, as well as where he sees the economy going.  And, Dana interviews House Intel Committee Chair Mike Turner (R-OH) about Russia's arrest of Wall Street Journal journalist Evan Gershkovich.  Finally, regarding the Trump indictment, Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) tells Dana, "You don't have to be a lawyer to look at this case and think it's on very weak grounds." To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy

He is the first former President to face criminal charges. The Manhattan Grand Jury was looking into hush money payments made to adult film star Stormy Daniels during Trump's 2016 campaign for President. Carol Leonnig, Michael Schmidt, Glenn Kirschner, Neal Katyal, Sen. Claire McCaskill, Lanny Davis, and Michael Beschloss join.

President Donald Trump's indictment by the Manhattan District Attorney became a rallying cry among Republican lawmakers and potential 2024 presidential rivals. Michael Cohen's attorney Lanny Davis discusses his client's testimony in the investigation into the former president.

Lanny Davis long ago established himself as the go-to operative in Washington when you're in the middle of a PR crisis.  He was famously the public face defending Bill Clinton during the Monica Lewinsky scandal in 1998. But today, 25 years later, he's on the other side of a presidential sex scandal representing Michael Cohen, Trump's longtime lawyer and self-described “fixer,” who went to jail for a number of offenses, including his role in paying Stormy Daniels $130,000 in exchange for her not telling the media her account of an alleged affair with Donald Trump.  Cohen is now a central witness in the Manhattan DA's case against Trump, one that could send the former president to jail. It's a case that has died and been resurrected so many times that prosecutors have nicknamed it the “zombie” case. And a major obstacle that prosecutors face is whether or not jurors will believe that Cohen, who lied for Trump for over a decade, is telling the truth.  On this episode of Deep Dive, host and Playbook co-author Ryan Lizza catches up with Davis at his office in Washington, D.C., to hear the story of how the Trump “zombie” case came back from the dead and why he insists jurors should believe his client. Ryan Lizza is a Playbook co-author for POLITICO. Lanny Davis is the lawyer and spokesperson for former Trump fixer Michael Cohen. Afra Abdullah is an associate producer for POLITICO audio. Kara Tabor is a producer for POLITICO audio. Alex Keeney is a senior producer for POLITICO audio. Jenny Ament is the executive producer for POLITICO audio.

Michael talks to crisis management expert and attorney Lanny Davis, who is representing former Trump advisor Michael Cohen, ahead of the Manhattan District Attorney possibly indicting former President Trump in connection with hush money payments paid to Stormy Daniels. Original air date 22 March 2023.

Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut with the news of Donald Trump facing possible indictment in the Manhattan DA hush money case. Michael Cohen's attorney, Lanny Davis, joins us for his first TV interview regarding this case. Also in this episode, in a major development in the criminal investigation of Donald Trump's mishandling of classified documents, a judge has ordered Trump lawyer Evan Corcoran to testify, ruling that he cannot invoke attorney-client privilege. Our legal expert has more. Plus, Ron DeSantis allegedly chooses his fingers as the spoon of choice for his chocolate pudding--just one of the strange, reported tales of the would-be presidential candidate. Our politics experts weigh in. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.

The Definitive Debunking of the Cohen-In-Prague Canard. For some weird reason, the Deep State cannot let go of Prague, and thus we smell desperation at the dark heart of SpyGate. We recap the claim from the bogus Steele Dossier that Trump advisor Michael Cohen visited Prague in 2016 to conspire with the Russians to defeat Hillary Clinton. It just so happens that Fusion GPS, Christopher Steele, Nellie Ohr and Glenn Simpson got The Wrong Cohen in their illicit searches of the NSA database. Whoops! But they used the information anyways, to bamboozle FISA judges and surveil the Trump Campaign. Later on, the fraudulent claims were used to initiate the Mueller Investigation and cause harm to President Trump in the arena of public opinion. As a case study in the construction and dissemination of Propaganda, we dismantle the latest recrudescence of Cohen-In-Prague as served up this week by Greg Gordon and Peter Stone of the McClatchy DC Bureau. Their anonymous sources who heard it from anonymous sources. We review the ongoing string of outright denials from Cohen's attorney Lanny Davis, and also from Michael Cohen himself. We survey the reporting of Greg Miller of The Washington Post, who has found zero evidence of Cohen-In-Prague. Further, we sample the MSNBC interview of McClatchy's Greg Gordon with a surprisingly skeptical Joy Reid. A total embarrassment to the journalistic profession. The mistakes made in and around the Prague linchpin reveal the methods, motives and wholesale corruption of America's Deep State.

Six weeks ago, CNN broke a blockbuster story: According to several anonymous sources, President Trump had advance knowledge of the infamous Trump Tower meeting. It was a potential smoking gun, until one of those sources — Lanny Davis, attorney for Michael Cohen — recanted. Beyond that headache for CNN, there was another. The original article had claimed, "Contacted by CNN, one of Cohen's attorneys, Lanny Davis, declined to comment." Depending on how you understand the word "comment," and depending your general disposition, that claim could be technically true or woefully, mendaciously disingenuous. Bob spoke with Washington Post media reporter Paul Farhi about the implications — and dangers — of this latest media mishap.  On the Media is supported by listeners like you.

Townhall Review -- September 1, 2018 Hugh Hewitt speaks with author Rod Dreher about the latest bombshell in the Catholic church; this time from a report written by a high-ranking Church official implicating the Vatican. Mike Gallagher tells the shocking details of a Cardinal downplaying the importance of this disturbing news. Michael Medved remembers former Vietnam war hero and P.O.W, Senator John McCain. Mike Gallagher exposes the media's faulty news coverage of the Michael Cohen case, especially now that Lanny Davis, a former advisor to the Clintons during the 90s, admits that he misled the media. Dennis Prager looks at the Left's desire to replace "toxic masculinity" with "Mr. Sensitive," leaving nobody to fight evil. Hugh Hewitt turns to Chad Pecknold, a theologian and professor at Catholic University in Washington D.C., to discuss the deep corruption inside the Catholic church, and how Pope Francis, who is implicated, has not yet given a public response. Dennis Prager and Andrew McCarthy, Senior Editor at National Review, simplify the complex aspects of the Michael Cohen trial. Larry Elder and Los Angeles attorney Reeve Chudd give tribute to Aretha Franklin and her contribution to music, but also how important it is to have a last will and testament.

Following all kinds of high-decibel Sturm and Drang, the MSM finds itself already in retreat, as Lanny Davis has pulled the rug out from under several layers of Bogus Narrative. Were they bluffing all along? Meanwhile, we discuss the tragic fate of Mollie Tibbetts, the missing University of Iowa student now found to have been murdered by an illegal immigrant. More "collateral damage" from Open Borders zealots. MSM suddenly loses interest, dismisses as just "a girl in Iowa." We sample the tone-deaf commentary of Sen. Elizabeth Warren. Also, we remark on the passing of Senator John McCain. Plus, a caller describes her experiences at "Denver GoTopless Day." Pedal steel vignettes on the passage of time.

The media is in a frenzy louder than feeding time at the zoo over the guilty pleas by Paul Manafort, the former Trump campaign manager, and Michael Cohen, Trump's (former) personal lawyer. Manafort's plea was unrelated to Trump.  Cohen pleaded to tax evasion (also unrelated to Trump), but also two counts of working with Trump to violate campaign finance laws. Attorney for Michael Cohen, Lanny Davis, discusses Cohen's pleading guilty to eight counts of tax evasion, bank fraud and campaign finance violations. Davis also says there is no dispute President Trump committed a crime.

MSNBC guest Yamiche Alicindor says armed would shoot black students, Lanny Davis, Cohen's Lawyer, says they have no proof of anything and Trump grades his work.

The James Comey Freakshow. Lessons in Unethical Leadership from a bitter, disgruntled former FBI director. Chris Wallace of Fox News describes Comey's new book as surprisingly "bitchy." Democratic operative Lanny Davis calls Comey a "renegade narcissist." Trump calls him a "slimeball." We sample the Comey-Stephanopolous Interview, which oddly and obsessively rehashes the "Golden Showers" scam. Meanwhile, catfights erupt between Comey and former AG Loretta Lynch and the FBI's disgraced Andrew McCabe. Fireworks forthcoming. Also, we review Mueller's face-saving exit strategy, in which he maneuvers to get himself fired by President Trump. How many red lines will he cross towards that end? Is Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein part and parcel of a surreptitious tag-team? Ann Coulter advises Trump to "let Mueller twist." We salute Trump for not taking the bait -- for not firing Mueller -- and for mastering the art of unpredictable responses to Establishment-Manufactured Stimuli. Plus, we consider Daniel Greenfield's thoughtful essay: "Using the FBI to Suppress a Political Revolution." There are two Americas. One is your country, the other consists of the people who run it. The Romans broke their republic. Are political mercenaries like Mueller breaking ours? With Listener Calls & Music via Train, Eric Church and Louane.
