Mueller's team informed Trump's team orally, not in a written form, that they have concluded that the Justice Department can't indict a sitting president.

the special counsel is going to adhere to historical justice department guidelines. And what the guidelines say is basically that a sitting U.S. president can't be indicted.

The President denied the merger.

Well, we don't have to. He's the president of the United States.

He's got to do it. I mean, you don't have a choice.

I believe Attorney General Sessions, my good friend and Rosenstein, who I don't know, I believe they should, in the interest of justice, end this investigation.

Well, we don't have to, he's the president of the United States. We can assert the same privilege as other presidents have.

Oh, how could I ever be confident of that? When I'm facing a situation with the president and all the other lawyers are, in which every lawyer in America thinks he'd be a fool to testify.

the President when he is bastardizing Mueller, when he is talking about Democrats -- prosecuting and when he is going down this list of things, he's actually, you know, playing the game the right way.

If I'm not up to it, I don't know who is, I know the Justice Department better than just about anyone.

He made payment for the President or he conducted business for the President which means he had legal fees.

If I'm not up to it, I don't know who is. I know the Justice Department better than just about anyone.

Imagine if that came out on October 15th, 2016 in the middle of the, you know, last debate. Cohen didn't even ask. Cohen made it go away, he did his job.

He didn't know the details of this until we knew the details of it, which is a couple of weeks ago. Maybe not even a couple, maybe 10 days ago.

It's not campaign money. No campaign finance violation.

the President repaid Michael Cohen, and that Cohen acted to fix the Daniels problem just days before the election

Cohen made it go away. He did his job.

the President didn't need a reason

And we got Kim Jong-un impressed enough to release three prisoners today.

If they do to Ivanka, which I doubt they will. The whole country will turn on. They are going after his daughter?

He didn't know about the specifics of it, as far as I know. But he did know about the general arrangement that Michael would take care of things like this.

That money was not campaign money. Sorry, I'm giving you a fact now that you don't know. It's not campaign money. No campaign finance violation.

You won't see daylight between me and the President.

The only possible violation there would be, was it a campaign finance violation? Which usually results in a fine, by the way, not this big storm troopers coming in and breaking down his apartment and breaking down his office.
