[Bolduan:] The Russia investigation back in the spotlight because of a lunch date. "The New York Times" reporting members of President Trump's legal team debating just how much to cooperate with Special Prosecutor Robert Mueller's investigation. How does "The New York Times" know this? Because of a lunch. A "Times" reporter snapped this photo of White House Attorney Ty Cobb and one of Trump's personal attorneys, John Dowd, casually and loudly according to the reporting discussing the Russia investigation at a popular D.C. restaurant. Outside nonetheless. CNN's justice correspondent, Jessica Schneider is here with more details on this. Jessica, what exactly were these two talking about?
[Jessica Schneider, Cnn Justice Correspondent:] Well, Kate, as you saw it can be a small town and two of the president's top lawyers discussed at that lunch very sensitive strategy about the Russia investigation, all at that sidewalk table at BLT Steak here in Washington, just a few blocks from the White House. As you said it was overheard by a "New York Times" reporter and the "New York Times" is reporting that White House counsel, Don McGahn, erupted at Ty Cobb for discussing the matter in public and saying Chief of Staff John Kelly reprimanded Cobb for the carelessness. So, the question, what exactly did White House lawyers, Cobb and John Dowd, talk about? Well, Kate, they aired their suspicion with the president's legal team and talked about a White House lawyer who they didn't name calling that person a, quote, "McGahn spy." Now it seems that Ty Cobb and Don McGahn, the White House counsel, are a bit at odds and Ty Cobb apparently says he wants to be transparent and turn over documents for the Russian probe but McGahn might not be of the same mindset. Saying that McGahn, quote, "has a couple of documents locked in a safe" and then Cobb blamed a colleague for some of the earlier leaks that we've seen throughout the past summer pointing to that same colleague trying to push Jared Kushner out. So, really, Kate, a lot said in open in public on a sidewalk and that's where you're seeing questions about what kind of executive or attorney client privilege the president might try to assert in this investigation. And Kate, what's key here is that the question was this public discussion on this sidewalk any sort of waiver of that attorney-client privilege because the White House attorneys discussing it all right there in clear earshot of that "New York Times" reporter Kate.
[Bolduan:] It might be a small town but that's right by where "The New York Times" Washington bureau is. It's not like it's
[Schneider:] Exactly. It's right underneath and just a few blocks from the White House.
[Bolduan:] It's not like some obscure restaurant that no one goes to. I mean, seriously. There's also this, I want to ask you about, President Trump's long-time personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, set to appear before the Senate Intelligence Committee tomorrow for an interview. What are you hearing ahead of this?
[Schneider:] Right. So, Michael Cohen, long-time Trump associate and attorney will go behind closed doors tomorrow in a voluntary interview, sort of the same setup we saw with Donald Trump, Jr. just a few weeks ago when he went before a Senate Judiciary. So, what Senate investigators might want to talk to Michael Cohen about, well, his own disclosure he reached out to the Russian government at the height of the campaign all to discuss or maybe pitch a potential deal to build a Trump Tower in Moscow. Cohen did admit that he had three conversations with then Candidate Trump about the proposal, but then eventually abandoned the idea. But of course, Kate, you know, President Trump repeatedly stated out on the campaign trail, that he had no deals in Russia throughout the campaign. So, this could be a major point of inquiry for congressional investigators when they do talk face to face with Michael Cohen tomorrow Kate.
[Bolduan:] Absolutely. Great to see you, Jessica. Thank you so much. Be careful where you do lunch. So, there is that but also this, a search warrant issued and Facebook forced to respond, a spokesperson for the social media giant now confirming yesterday they handed over Russia linked ads and television about the accounts associated with them to Special Prosecutor Robert Mueller. What does this exactly mean for the Russia investigation right now? CNN senior reporter for media and politics, Dylan Byers, has all the details and also joining us Michael Zeldin, CNN legal analyst and former federal prosecutor who worked with Bob Mueller at the Department of Justice. So, Dylan, what exactly do we know about what Facebook turned over and I guess even how much?
[Dylan Byers, Cnn Senior Reporter For Media And Politics:] Well, we know that Facebook turned over everything
