Our politics roundtable looks at the week’s news, including the claim from Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani that Trump used his own money to reimburse his personal lawyer Michael Cohen for payments Cohen made right before the 2016 election to the adult film actress known as Stormy Daniels. Also, we look at the case of Miami drug kingpin Willie Falcon, who is facing deportation back to his native Cuba. His lawyers argue that deportation would result in his death, because in the 1990s, Falcon funded a CIA plot to assassinate Fidel Castro. And, we get the latest from the NRA convention in Dallas, where President Trump and Vice President Mike Pence are scheduled to speak today. That and more, in hour one of Here & Now’s May 4, 2018 full broadcast.
