Update: Donald Trump approved a plan to repay hush money for Stormy Daniels to his lawyer Michael Cohen in a meeting at Trump Tower days before his inauguration as president, Cohen told jurors today.
As part of the package, Trump raised Cohen’s holiday bonus after Cohen complained bitterly that he’d been shorted, the lawyer testified.
Trump then said, “This is going to be one heck of a ride in D.C.,” Cohen recalled. The so-called “fixer” for Trump took the stand this morning as the prosecution’s key witness in their case against the former president.
The meeting was also attended by Allen Weisselberg, the Trump Organization’s chief financial officer, who brought with him a bank statement that had the financial arrangement scrawled on it in Weisselberg’s handwriting, Cohen testified, saying, “He showed the document to Mr. Trump.”
Cohen couldn’t give an exact date for the meeting,...

As Donald Trump’s third indictment dominated the airwaves on the Sunday morning shows, ABC’s George Stephanopolous asked former Republican National Committee chairman and former Trump chief of staff (for six months) Reince Priebus why more Republican leaders don’t speak out to correct Trump’s claims, and Priebus candidly said it’s all to do with appealing to the base.
In response to being told that the Republican base is unbothered by the latest indictment on “This Week,” Stephanopolous asked Priebus, “Isn’t part of the reason that the Republican base continues to hold onto these views because Republican leaders like Kevin McCarthy, like other leaders, instead of calling out what they believe about what happened, reinforce what the base already thinks?”
Priebus replied, “The governor you just interviewed from North Dakota, he didn’t wanna touch it with a 10-foot pole. Why? Because he knows that over half,...

It was January of 2017, and a newly inaugurated President Donald Trump held a reception at the White House to meet with top congressional leaders. Hors d’oeuvres were on the menu. And the new president turned to a row of racially diverse Democratic staffers and asked them to retrieve the canapes, according to a new book.
“Why don’t you get” the food, Trump told staffers for Sen. Chuck Schumer, Rep. Nancy Pelosi and others, according to New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman’s new book, Confidence Man.

The technology was complicated, but the plan was simple: Scan mail-in and absentee ballots in populous Maricopa County, remove the “invalid votes,” and recertify the state’s 2020 election count, surely declaring then-President Donald Trump the rightful winner.
This scheme to subvert the election outcome in Arizona is laid out in newly released emails obtained by Rolling Stone.

Randy Pullen was in dire need of a lawyer. A former chairman of the state’s Republican Party, Pullen was helping run the sham election “audit” underway in Arizona’s largest county. The state Democratic Party had just filed a lawsuit to block the self-styled audit, and so Pullen contacted Reince Priebus, the former Republican National Committee chairman who was Trump’s first White House chief of staff. If anyone knew the best lawyer to hire, surely it was Priebus.
“Please call when you can,” Pullen texted Priebus on April 22nd.

Sharon Bialy and Gohar Gazazyan both knew that they had an incredible task in casting someone to play Donald Trump in the Showtime limited series “The Comey Rule.” “His mannerisms and the way that he carries himself has been done so much in comedy. We were really leaning towards a sort of authentic portrayal of him, but there’s still that part of him that is almost like a sketch version of a person,” Gazazyan remembers in our recent interview (watch the exclusive video above). They would eventually land on Brendan Gleeson, but there was one small problem: he turned it down. This forced Bialy to exercise her powers of persuasion to help change his mind. “I wrote a beautiful letter to him. And then I just kept calling and saying, he really should talk to Billy. You really should talk to Billy or, or read it again. And the manager was really helpful,...

CBS News will base its election night coverage from Times Square for the first time, in ViacomCBS’s headquarters at 1515 Broadway.
The network on Thursday announced its plans for coverage of Nov. 3, with a heavy emphasis on its reporting team, visual graphics and exit and polling data.
The biggest scrutiny, though, will be on how the networks characterize the state of the race and at what point they will declare a winner. One of the biggest concerns has been of candidates declaring victory based on election night totals, even though big chunks of mail-in votes remain to be counted.
The network’s decision desk, led by Anthony Salvanto, will feature an Election Night Tracker that combines exit poll data and vote tallies along with the network’s polling. CBS News’ Battleground Tracker will have polled 100,000 people by election day. The network said that Salvanto will explain its methodology and how it makes projections.

The broadcast network plans to go live from 10 Pm to 11 Pm Et each evening are in line with previous cycles, as NBC, ABC and CBS devoted an hour of primetime to major speeches and commentary.

Updated with schedules for Week 2 hearings: The House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence will continue public hearings in the impeachment inquiry of President Donald Trump for a second week beginning Tuesday. Last week’s three witnesses marked the first such hearings to take place since President Bill Clinton was impeached in 1998 and only the fourth time against a sitting president in U.S. history.

Like last week, cable networks are planning full-court coverage for scheduled hearings this Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday (see the breakdown below). Most broadcast networks plan to break in to regularly scheduled programming, while offering uninterrupted coverage via their digital outlets.
Deadline will also live-stream all the hearings this week.

Updated with video: Last Week Tonight host John Oliver dove directly into the headline-grabbing details of the long-awaited Mueller report in which the special counsel detailed Russian election meddling, and alleged Trump campaign Russia contacts, and Trump efforts to thwart special counsel Robert Mueller as he investigated.
To begin, Mueller’s statement “if we had confidence…that the President clearly did not commit obstruction of justice, we would so state” is a “pretty conspicuous non-exoneration,” Oliver noted, adding “some of the details in this report were incredible.”
Like other late-night stars before him, Oliver also highlighted the passage where Mueller described Trump finding out Mueller had been appointed special counsel, slumping in his chair and saying, “Oh, my god. This is terrible. This is the end of my presidency. I’m f*cked.”

Like other late-night stars before him, Oliver also highlighted the passage where Mueller described Trump finding out Mueller had been appointed special counsel, slumping in his chair and saying, “Oh, my god. This is terrible. This is the end of my presidency. I’m f*cked.”

Washington — Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee teed up a set of subpoenas Wednesday morning with an eye toward obtaining a full, unredacted copy of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s final report on 2016 election interference and any conspiracy between Russia and the Trump campaign. The subpoenas would also cover any supporting evidence — including grand jury testimony.
The committee voted along party lines, 24 to 17, to authorize subpoenas for the full report and documents from five former Trump White House employees, including former chief of staff Reince Priebus, adviser Steve Bannon and communications director Hope Hicks.

Last month, the New York Times reported that after President Trump fired FBI Director James Comey in May 2017, the bureau opened a counterintelligence investigation to determine if the president was working on behalf of Russia. It was quite the bombshell.
The man who would have launched such an investigation was Andrew McCabe, who took the reins of the FBI following Comey’s ouster only to have Trump replace him with Christopher Wray three months later. McCabe has mostly stayed silent since he left the bureay, but on Sunday he will...

Julie Chen returned for another edition of Celebrity Big Brother for the first time since more allegations were made about her husband, former CBS CEO Leslie Moonves.
“Good evening, I’m Julie Chen Moonves. Welcome to the Celebrity Big Brother two-night premiere event,” she said smoothly, five days after the network held a town hall during which employees wanted to make sure her husband won’t see a nickel of that $120M severance pay he thought he had coming, among other questions.
In December, the CBS board declared Les Moonves would get none of that whopping severance payment after the network completed its investigation of the former Chairman and CEO, CBS News, and cultural issues at CBS. The decision seemed all but inevitable, given the disclosures from a draft of an internal report which revealed that he had destroyed evidence and misled investigators in an effort to protect his reputation and payout.

Trump administration officials who leave the White House never truly go away. If they’re not in jail (or about to be, ahem, Michael Cohen), they’re on reality TV. Former communications chief Anthony Scaramucci is no exception.
Scaramucci aka “The Mooch” was announced as one of the cast members of the second season of Big Brother: Celebrity Edition, Entertainment Weekly reported Sunday. He follows fellow former White House staffer Omarosa Manigault Newman, who appeared on the first season. Scaramucci lasted a brief 10 days in the White House in 2017 and...

Season 1 of “Celebrity Big Brother” was a wild success, with such names as Ross Mathews, Metta World Peace and James Maslow among the eclectic group of contestants. With Season 2 just around the corner, hosted once again by Julie Chen Moonves, it’s time for Gold Derby to make our predictions for who might be entering the house next. Click through our photo gallery above to see our complete “Celebrity Big Brother” 2 dream cast. Below, see our wish list of the 10 men we want to see battling for charity:
Mike Tyson — One of the most fierce and controversial athletes in history is this former heavyweight champion of the world. Mike has been hated by millions following a domestic dispute with his ex-wife Robin Givens and beloved for his return to fame in “The Hangover.” You never know what you’re going to get with Mike and that makes him a perfect choice.

President Donald Trump took to Twitter on Friday night to drag TV news pundits away from the Michael Cohen Gma interview story by announcing Mick Mulvaney, director of the Office of Management & Budget, would become “acting” Chief of Staff, replacing John Kelly:
….I look forward to working with him in this new capacity as we continue to Make America Great Again! John will be staying until the end of the year. He is a Great Patriot and I want to personally thank him for his service!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 14, 2018
Mulvaney was on a long list of men who had signaled to the White House that they were not interested in the job.
Trump, however, stoutly insisted that he had “10-12” chief of staff wannabes pounding down his door, telling Reuters, “Everybody wants it…Who doesn’t want to be one of the top few people in Washington, D.

Continuing the ongoing shakeups in the Trump administration, President Donald Trump said today that chief of staff John Kelly will leave his job at the end of the year.
Kelly was long-rumored to be at-odds with the president, with some reports indicating the two were not even speaking.
Trump made the reveal while speaking with reporters on the White House lawn before heading to today’s Army-Navy football game in Philadelphia.
“John Kelly will be leaving — I don’t know if I can say ‘retiring,’” Trump said. “But he’s a great guy. John Kelly will be leaving at the end of the year.”
No replacement has been named, but some reports suggest Mike Pence’s chief of staff, Nick Ayers, is a prime candidate for the job. Trump said he would announce a replacement – maybe on an interim basis – in the next day or two.

Last week, President Trump’s ex-lawyer Michael Cohen admitted he lied to Congress more than a year ago when he claimed discussions about a possible Trump Tower in Moscow ceased in January 2016. (The talks continued through the Republican primary season, which ended in June 2016.) Cohen made the claims in a two-page letter he drafted while in communication with the White House, and delivered it to the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence in August 2017 as it was conducting an investigation into Russia’s attempts to interfere in the 2016 election.

October 7th, 2016 was the day that Hillary Clinton appeared to win the presidential election. She was ahead in the polls in every contested state, with twice the field offices as Donald Trump and twice the cash on hand. She had been blanketing the airwaves with ads and was on her way to being endorsed by 95 percent of all newspaper editorial boards. And then, at 4:05 P.M. Est, the Access Hollywood tape dropped.

Day 1 of Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court confirmation hearings before the Senate Judiciary Committee began with Dem on Gop brawling, and ended with President Donald Trump tweeting about how “mean, angry, and despicable” is the “other side.”
Democrats have made clear they plan to vote against the politically connected darling of the conservative Washington legal circle, citing his positions against gun control and women’s reproductive rights.
“The Brett Kavanaugh hearings for the future Justice of the Supreme Court are truly a display of how mean, angry, and despicable the other side is,” Trump tweet-scoffed.
“They will say anything, and are only looking to inflict pain and embarrassment to one of the most highly renowned jurists to ever appear before Congress. So sad to see!”
“Judge Brett Kavanaugh is an Exceptionally Qualified and Deserving Nominee for the Supreme Court,” he added, to clear up any confusion.

Fire and Fury, the New York Times bestseller chronicling the first year of the Trump White House, provided a shockingly intimate look into the machinations of a chaotic presidential administration. Its allegations were detailed and damming, but its author, Michael Wolff, carried an unsavory reputation as a journalist known to bend the rules of conventional reporting. The book’s veracity was called into question by the White House, Trump and critics on both the left and right. The same will not be said for Fear, the forthcoming book from Bob Woodward...

The Senate Judiciary Committee’s hearings on the confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh to the U.S. Supreme Court got underway Tuesday, with Democrats protesting the process and at least one of the Republicans serving on the committee already having made up his mind.
“Judge Kavanaugh, I’m proud of you,” Sen. Orrin Hatch (R.-Utah) said during his opening remarks Tuesday,. “ I know how good you are. I know you deserve this position. I’m proud of the president for nominating you. And frankly, I wish you the best, because we’re going to confirm you.”
Hatch’s prepared statement was frequently interrupted by shouting protesters, who were dragged out of the hearing room. He also accused some of his Democratic colleagues on the committee of grandstanding to the TV cameras in the early going Tuesday. “We have folks who want to run for president, who want their moment in the spotlight,...

Updated with Pruitt’s letter of resignation: Epa chief Scott Pruitt’s list of scandals finally got long enough that President Donald Trump has accepted his “resignation.”
“t is hard for me to advise you I am stepping down as Administrator of the Epa effective as of July 6,” Pruitt emoted in an impressively glutinous letter of resignation, adding that it’s also “extremely difficult for me to cease serving you in this role first because I count it a blessing to be serving you in any capacity, but also, because of the transformative work that is occurring.”
“However, the unrelenting attacks on me personally, my family, are unprecedented and have taken a sizable toll on all of us.”

It’s been quite a week for Donald Trump. He had his summit with Kim Jong Un and keeps saying nice things about him to everyone’s horror. His old lawyer Michael Cohen may be about to flip on him. The attorney general of New York is suing the Trump Foundation for breaking laws governing charities. And it’s rumored that more high profile members of his staff may be about to make their exits. Having dealt with the other stuff already this week, Stephen Colbert took aim at that last item in his monologue on “The Late Show” Friday night.
“It’s the end of a rough week. But don’t worry, if you’re demoralized by this White House, you’re not alone. So is the White House,” Colbert said. “According to The New York Times, ‘burned-out aides are eyeing the exits, as the mood in the White...

Washington — This year’s White House Correspondents’ Association dinner was more subdued than in years past, but stirring in its own way for its demonstration of media solidarity in the face of presidential push-back.
This year, Donald Trump skipped the event that annually mixes media, politics and celebrity.
Michelle Wolf, soon-to-be host of her own weekly Netflix series, was the featured entertainer, but she was a contrast to previous talent in that she isn’t known as a purely political humorist. Netflix even debuted a new promo for the show, called “The Break.” Prior to the dinner, she told CBS News it was “cowardly” of Trump not to attend.
After a Stephen Colbert satiric cartoon, Margaret Talev, president of the Whca, welcomed the attendees, and paid respect to President George H.W. Bush. The next attraction was a video of Paul Ryan that started out light-hearted, but ended with a...

Embattled Epa chief Scott Pruitt is the latest Cabinet member spotted in the Trump Tumbril, after Deputy White House Press Secretary Hogan Gidley told Fox News Channel’s Sandra Smith on Thursday, “I cannot speak to the future of Scott Pruitt.”
And that was before CBS News began reporting this afternoon that a security agent was removed from Pruitt’s detail after telling Pruitt he could not turn on his vehicles light and sirens to circumvent a Washington traffic jam because it was not an emergency situation. CBS News reports the 16-year agency veteran got yanked and re-assigned days later.
Pruitt has been on tumbril watch since reports surfaced about his having given two Epa pals huge pay raises and a sweetheart deal in which he pays the wife of a Washington lobbyist 50 bucks a night for his housing while in town. Pruitt made it worse when he ignored White...

In his conversation with Tapper, Kessler said that his book had “juicy tidbits” from the White House and mentioned that during one interview with Conway, she forgot she was on the record and blasted her colleagues including former chief of staff Reince Priebus as well as Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner. He added, “If you wonder why there are so many leaks out of the White House, one reason is Kellyanne Conway is the number one leaker.”

And yet another Fire and Fury revelation: Donald Trump thinks he’s really funny, was really proud of his 2015 appearance on NBC’s Saturday Night Live and was really stoked to appear at last year’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner.
Cooler – or perhaps just terrified – heads in the White House prevailed, and the president, as depicted by Wolff, reluctantly agreed to skip the event for rival gigs with more sympathetic audiences.
In an exclusive excerpt of Michael Wolff’s Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House, published today in British GQ, the author provides a behind-the-scenes look at the Executive decision to skip last April’s Beltway nerd prom for visits and a rally in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
“He wanted to do it,” writes Woolf. “He was certain that the power of his charm was greater than the rancour that he bore this audience – or that they bore him.” Trump’s 2015 SNL appearance had been,...

That didn't sit well with the show's producers, who'd like to think that they're ideologically polar opposites of Bannon.
