should watch for breathing problems and red infected eyes for ten days after exposure. and while the east deals with the snow, it is the wind creating a particularly dangerous situation in southern california this morning. 18 million people are under a red flag warning as forecasters prepare for a potentially life threatening wind storm, with gusts up to 100mph and exceptionally strong santa ana wind event is expected to develop this afternoon and blow through wednesday. officials are warning that the extremely dry air could easily fan the flames of a fire and spread dangerously fast, so you're on your way to the airport. you have chosen the cool new tech on the roads, a driverless car, and then things go alarmingly wrong. chances are you have probably seen these cars out there. an arizona man got into one of those and got stuck. take a look.

>> yeah, i got a flight to catch. >> why is this thing going in a circle? >> i'm getting dizzy. it's. look at what it's doing. >> i understand, i'm really, really sorry, mike. >> we're currently working with the situation on the vehicle. is it circling around a parking lot? >> it's circling around a parking lot. >> that is no bueno. frustrated. and as you heard there, dizzy passenger mark johns says he ordered the waymo rideshare to catch a flight out of scottsdale. the waymo representative told johns they could not control the car, and that he had to resolve the issue in his app. eventually, he was able to catch his flight. waymo says the incident caused a five minute disruption. a new hour of cnn news central starts right now on time. >> all right. just moments ago, donald trump jr. landed in greenland as president-elect trump says he wants to annex

the island. breaking news, fact checkers be gone a major policy shift for facebook. why they are ditching this safeguard against disinformation. and an awful discovery on a jetblue flight landing in florida. two bodies found in the wheel. well. i'm john berman with sara sidner and kate bolduan. this is cnn news central. >> it is now 13 days until donald trump moves into the white house once again. and to pile on the sports metaphors for you this morning, donald trump seems to be on offense and defense at the same time, and possibly throwing a hail mary pass today for greenland. we'll get to it all. first, the defense the president elect is facing a new legal fight, and we have new details on it this morning, trying to stop special counsel jack smith from publicly releasing his final report on his investigations

into donald trump and the two federal cases that were dismissed. so why is donald trump fighting this now? his lawyers read we've learned a draft of that report and are arguing in a new court filing that it contains baseless attacks, which they call an obvious effort to interfere with upcoming confirmation hearings. now to the offense. donald trump is now attacking president biden, accusing biden of basically sabotaging his transition into the white house. this happened in an interview. and then also on truth social. he laid into him saying that biden is doing everything possible to make the transition as difficult as possible. cnn's jeff zeleny is with us now. he's got much more on this. let's start with this attack on biden and the transition, because what we're hearing from trump is not the same message we're hearing from those who are coming in to be on his staff. what's going on? >> hey, kate. good morning. you're right. in 13 days, donald trump will not have joe biden to kick around anymore.

or will he? that is the question here, because in that series of posts yesterday, as you were saying, as the congress was certifying the victory of donald trump, he was still talking about joe biden, saying he's making the transition difficult. kate, you're getting the sense here that as the entire government becomes a republican one from the house to the senate, soon to be the white house, if donald trump is looking for a foil for someone, perhaps to still hold the blame if things do not go his way, and he is starting with these executive orders that joe biden that president biden is doing on his the waning days of his presidency, he was talking specifically about some of the environmental regulations he is putting in for a drilling off the the coast. but the bigger picture also is that the president elect is saying that president biden and his team are making things more complicated. well, that is exactly at odds with what the incoming white house chief of staff, siouxsie wiles, has told reporters and other advisers that the biden administration jeff zients, the biden white house chief of

staff in particular, has rolled out the red carpet for the trump team has been extraordinarily helpful with preparing them. so the reality here is donald trump knows a lot more about what the white house and the the duties and the challenges entail. this time around than eight years ago, as we stood here in the the early days of his his administration, as he began to take power. so we are going to hear more, though, from the president elect later today. he'll be holding his first news conference here in a couple of hours, really laying out his agenda. but for now at least, we'll see how much he talks there about president biden. but he certainly had him on the mind yesterday, kate. >> and then donald trump is about to will soon be heading to washington. i think it's tomorrow. what's on the schedule? >> we do know that the president elect will be going to washington tomorrow. he'll be attending the funeral. the state funeral of jimmy carter on thursday. but tomorrow we are told that he is going to be meeting with senate republicans. now, this is really the beginning of an

effort to lay out his own agenda. of course, we saw during the presidential campaign so many things from immigration to the economy to other matters that the trump administration wants to do. the question is, how can they get that through a narrowly divided congress? so the first meetings will start tomorrow. we're told the president elect is going to meet senate republican leaders, likely on capitol hill or nearby, to talk about the agenda. and if they're going to try and do everything in one piece or perhaps break it up. it's looking now like a one piece that's extending his tax cuts. for example, the immigration bills as well. but kate, as you well know from covering congress all those years, it is a difficult legislative task to do anything. and certainly as much as he's talking about in the campaign. >> yeah, especially when that potential one bill is being described as possibly the biggest piece of legislation in american history. that doesn't sound like something quick and easy. yeah, exactly. thank you. jeff, it's great to see you. reconciliation, right. >> moments ago, president-elect

donald trump's son trump jr.. arrived in greenland as his dad has been ramping up his rhetoric about the u.s. taking control of the danish territory. annexing greenland has been on president-elect trump's agenda since. you'll remember the first term when he talked about buying greenland. but last hour, his former national security adviser, john bolton, told our kate bolduan there is a real security issue. yes, but donald trump may be making things worse with his rhetoric. >> but for all those who chuckle and say, oh, greenland. ha ha ha. let me just say you're wrong. to the security of greenland is directly related to the security of the united states. i tell you this. the one way to screw this up is to keep talking about it publicly. officials in greenland are elected by the people. officials in denmark are elected by the people. you keep talking about buying them as if it's a real estate deal. you're hardening their

positions. you're pushing them into a corner. that will make it very difficult to achieve. >> cnn chief national security analyst jim sciutto is joining us now. jim, you heard bolton's comments there where he basically is saying, the more you push this publicly, the worse you're making things. what do you make of this? >> i think two reality checks. one is that a lot of this talk in trump's first term annexing greenland. et cetera. we would dismiss as just bluster. we should not. trump is serious. his team is serious about somehow getting at least a greater role there. and you know that's true. he's sending his son there. he's talking about visiting himself. but also to bolton's point about the way they're talking about it. they're talking about this as a national security issue. and it was notable. i saw this a few days ago that trump's former national security advisor, robert o'brien, he tweeted, if our great ally denmark can't commit to

defending the island, the u.s. will have to step in as potus, 47 said, referring to president elect donald trump. they are calling this a security issue and therefore laying the groundwork to say this is central to u.s. national security, and we're prepared to do whatever we need to do to get greater control there. so what does that mean? trump talks about buying. it doesn't seem like a realistic option, but would they put pressure on a u.s. treaty ally to allow a greater u.s. presence there? perhaps. but here's the other reality check, sarah. and that is that, as john bolton said, denmark has elected leaders, greenland has elected leaders, and the prime ministers of both greenland, which is a territory of denmark and denmark itself, have both said we're not interested in being bought by the united states, regardless of social media posts that trump has been sharing of 1 or 2 people in greenland with maga hats on, and neither is canada, for that matter, which he has also said should be part of the united states. >> so we will see how this all plays out. there are some serious issues here, though. as

you point out. >> and to that point, sarah, i'll just note this. the canada piece about making canada a 51st state, that one. when i speak to folks in trump's world, not particularly serious. the panama canal, when trump talks about that, they're serious about the panama canal. and again, they're framing it as a security issue that china is involved there. they're citing treaties from 100 years ago about what would allow the u.s. to take it over again. and it all falls under their kind of new sense of a monroe doctrine that this is our hemisphere, america's hemisphere, and we will operate here however we like. and we might even push close allies, whether that be denmark, canada, mexico, to do what president elect trump wants, regardless of what those close allies want. it's a brave new world, sarah. we should prepare for it. >> certainly a confusing one from someone who has said he doesn't want to get involved in, for example, international issues. and here we are talking about annexing other countries. jim sciutto it is always,

always a pleasure. thank you for coming on this morning. thanks, john. >> with me now is the governor of new hampshire, republican chris sununu, in his second to last full day in office, 48 hours to go. we're honored that you chose to spend it with us here all day. i'll be here. i'll be here. did you ever imagine that on your second to last day in office, you'd be talking about greenland? >> uh, no, i didn't, i don't know, maybe it's a big tourist destination as well as a strategic place for the united states and the north atlantic. so we'll see what comes of it. i don't think anyone in america is really worried about greenland. if something comes of it, it comes of it. but there's a lot more pressing issues right now. >> well, if no one is worried about greenland, why is the president elect of the united states focusing on it, talking about annexing a sovereign territory? >> look, i firmly believe trump is focusing on a bigger international strategy, and there's reasons for that. obviously, israel and ukraine getting those things settled. and i think you will see a lot of progress in the next six months. he's going to throw the greenland thing in there. he's throwing the canada thing in there. you know, it's a bit tongue in cheek, obviously, but

he's making a point that there is changes and there is a place for the united states as being that world leader. and the reason, again, is then to provide leverage for the tariffs. the tariffs are the big challenge next. so if he can find that that piece if you will in israel and ukraine leverage some of the the other opportunities internationally reestablish america as really being the world power that ensures peace, then he can go after the terrorists and, you know, subsequently build some strength within the u.s. economy. >> i want to ask you a meta question, no pun intended here. maybe pun intended. how do you feel about facts? >> how do i i'm pro facts? i mean, yeah, look, i'm an engineer. i'm a numbers guy. i'm a spreadsheet guy. i'm a firm believer that you look at the data, you make decisions, you be super transparent, especially for those who hold public office. explain to folks why you're making the decisions. you are based on data and you move forward. >> so some things are objectively true. other things are objectively not true. >> last time i checked, yes. >> okay, so the reason i'm asking is because meta, the parent company to facebook, announced this morning that

it's getting rid of its fact checkers. great. >> good. nobody believes them. no. they're in their own words. there was severe political bias there. if there was a conservative group that had fast checkers, fact checkers, i'd say there's political bias. if there's a liberal group, if there's social media groups, if there's there's always going to be a bias in what you do. i think in the social media world, the political bias got very, very heavy. they acknowledge it. they're going to make a change. >> can you get better fact checkers then, rather than getting rid of them altogether? >> how about not worry about fact checking? >> how about, well, you just told me that there are things that are objectively true and objectively not true. >> they are. but is that the role is social media's role to prove to you what is true and what is not, or is its role to be an open, an open platform for discussion and debate? opinion. you know, whether folks believe something or not believe something. i would say that's really where social communication, that's the more of the role of social media not to be the police of what's true without using words like police. >> and i'm glad we're having this discussion because it's an important one here. whose responsibility is it, then to to talk about what's true and not true? yours, mine?

>> my kids, our communities. we all have that personal responsibility. it's not the government's. there's a freedom of speech aspect to this, of course, but it's not the government's role to to necessarily tell you absolutely what is true and what is not true, what you should believe, judge you on what you believe and how you're voting. >> yeah, we're not talking about the government. we're talking about facebook. >> right? it's private business. right? is that is that is it is it in their business model that we are going to be the police of truth in america? and when people say something that isn't true, we're going to immediately correct it or ban them. no, of course not. that's i'm going to guess i haven't seen the business plan for facebook, but i'm guessing that meta doesn't have it in there. >> how do you know when you go on facebook whether what you're reading is true? >> you don't, you don't. and that's why you shouldn't use facebook or just truth, or just social media or just cnn or just abc. you you use your experiences to understand that what you're getting. and i'll say this, i think the next generation, i think we have this tough debate on it because social media is new for us, right? our generation invented social media. we didn't have the maturity and the responsibility to handle it appropriately. i think the next generation does.

i think they know the vast majority of what they're seeing online isn't necessarily truthful. there is bias on both sides. so my hope is that the next generation is a little more responsible with the tools they're giving very quickly. >> donald trump is trying to fight the release of special counsel jack smith's report in the classified documents. case doesn't want it to come out. special counsel is always releasing reports at the. it's actually part of the special counsel code. you're supposed to release report. the attorney general decides whether it goes public. you bet. liz cheney wrote a note just a few minutes ago saying that trump is already doing what despots do. he's trying to conceal the truth. and then in this post, liz cheney says garland now has a duty to release the justice department report and prevent its evidence from being destroyed. the truth must prevail. >> what do you think? i'm a big transparency guy. let it all out on everybody. i don't think liz cheney is the is the arbiter of necessarily should be the arbiter of what's going on here. i appreciate everyone's going to have an opinion, but i'm a big transparency guy, whether it's on a report or whether it's internal or external, unless there's real, clear reasons where personal information is, you know, truly harmful or, you

know, medical information, things of that nature. i'm from the live free or live free or die state. we're all about openness, transparency. and you know that that freedom of speech, if you will, and the freedom of access to information and no sales tax. >> but so you want income tax, you want the special, you want the special congestion going on in the city. you want the special. i'm sure you didn't have to pay it. you want the special counsel report released? sure. >> why not? >> okay. last question. like i said, second to last day in office. what's next? i know you've been asked. you can't tell me. you're not looking at the senate seat in new hampshire, which i think is up in 2026. no, not at all. >> no, look, i'm not no, i'm truly not. i will not be running for the u.s. senate anytime soon. i'm not looking at public office. it is public service, not public career. i've done four terms. i've done my eight years. i'm excited to get back into the private sector, back into business and engineering, and helping businesses understand regulatory processes so they can be more profitable, maybe spend more time in new york. >> good. we would welcome you. look, i've been at this a little while. when someone says, i'm not looking at it, that's different than saying i'm not running. you're not going to run for senate in new hampshire? no. >> in 2026, i'll have no family left. i mean, my family is so excited about me getting

out of the public sphere for a while. i mean, really, you got to take a break now. i'm 50 years old. i kind of feel like i probably have two more lifetimes to go. who knows what happens way down the road, but nothing in the immediate future. all right. >> new hampshire governor chris sununu, which we can still say for another two days. very nice to see. maybe we'll be seeing more of you. >> would love to. all right. >> thanks so much, sarah. >> john, did did you just offer him a job? >> i'm just saying maybe we'll see more of him. >> i dropped my resume off up front. >> he's got time on his hands. >> so there you are. all right. cool. thank you. john. all right. breaking overnight, the two bodies found in the landing gear of a jetblue flight in florida. plus, mcdonnell's becomes the latest company to roll back its diversity goals. but the company says it is still committed to inclusion. and as a deadly winter storm moves out, a wave of frigid cold temperatures moving in more than 250 million people are feeling below freezing temperatures. now. we will talk about all of this. yikes. when we come back.

before brutally cold temperatures set in. cnn's derek van dam tracking all of this for us. you told us this storm was going to be bad. it was. and now you've got something else. they've got everyone's got something else to contend with. how cold are we talking? yeah. >> that's right. so. so the cold air is going to stick around for a while, and it's actually going to set the stage for what could potentially be another significant snow and ice event. i'll highlight that in just one moment. but right now we've got over the next week, roughly 75% of the american public under freezing temperatures. so that is really saying something. and this morning, with wind chill values at negative one, you are really feeling it in kansas city, especially with that fresh snow pack on the ground. in boston, the actual temperature was roughly 18 degrees this morning, but the wind chill value was at one degree. so you've got to dress like it's one degree fahrenheit outside, because that's what it feels like on your exposed skin. and it's all thanks to this snow

pack. there was a 1000 mile plus wide swath of six inches or more from this most recent snowfall, so that's locking in the cold, not to mention the direction of the wind, just funneling the cold air from the arctic. and of course, with all the wind and energy behind this and all the snow and ice that accumulated, we have knocked out power for nearly 200,000 customers across the mid-atlantic and into the southern portions of the midwest. so the cold air, it's not going anywhere. neither is the snow. so like i said before, this is going to lay the groundwork. the cold air for the potential for another snowstorm that is actually picking up steam come thursday into friday and potentially into the weekend. look how it evolves. dallas, little rock, oklahoma city you have the potential for some significant snow and icing depending on where that freezing line sets up. atlanta. birmingham. you also have the potential for some wintry weather. and then on the east coast where it goes from there, that's still to be

determined for the weekend. kate. >> all right. stand by to potentially get more bad news on the weather front. stand by. thank you so much, derek. thanks for tracking it all. that's exactly right. thanks, buddy. >> john. all right. breaking this morning, jetblue says the bodies of two people were found in the wheel. well, of one of its planes after it landed in fort lauderdale from new york. let's get right to cnn's carlos suarez, who is at the airport in fort lauderdale for the latest on this. carlos, great to have you there on scene. what are you learning? >> john, good morning. >> so we know that the medical examiner has taken the bodies and that the broward sheriff's office here in fort lauderdale are the ones that are handling this investigation, as you noted, that jetblue flight landed here at fort lauderdale hollywood international airport from new york city a little after 11:00 last night. now, according to the airline, sometime after that, during a post-flight inspection of that aircraft, the two bodies were found in the wheel. well of

this aircraft. now, the details surrounding just how the victims were able to access the aircraft out of new york city is still unclear at this hour. we're told that no one that was on this flight apparently knew what happened. the identities of these two victims have not been released. and this discovery comes just two weeks after a body was found on a united airlines flight from chicago to maui. now, the details surrounding that incident is still being investigated. again, john, this morning, the broward medical examiner has taken these two bodies. they are in the process of trying to identify them. the faa is also investigating the incident. and of course, jetblue is still trying to sort out the details. just how these two victims were able to access the wheel well of this aircraft. john. all right. carlos suarez just arriving on the scene in fort lauderdale. great to have you there. obviously, a lot of questions still in this story. sarah. >> all right. look out for this. there are some changes coming to meta and their major.

>> the recent elections also feel like a cultural tipping point towards once again prioritizing speech. so we're going to get back to our roots and focus on reducing mistakes, simplifying our policies, and restoring free expression on our platforms. more specifically, here's what we're going to do. first, we're going to get rid of fact checkers and replace them with community notes similar to x starting in the u.s. we tried in good faith to address those concerns without becoming the arbiters of truth, but the fact checkers have just been too politically biased and have destroyed more trust than they've created, especially in the u.s. >> all right. cnn's clare duffy is here with us now. you heard it right there. we are getting rid of the fact checkers. >> yeah, john, and i think it's important to remember that meta initially formed these partnerships with third party fact checkers in response to concerns that its platforms had been utilized by foreign actors to spread misinformation and create discord among american voters. now, the company says it is walking that back. it is getting rid of those third party fact

checkers, and it will rely on these user generated context labels that will be added to posts called community notes. this is something that elon musk has also done on x, and it was announced by joel kaplan, who is one of the company's most prominent republicans. we talked last week. he was just elevated to the company's top policy job. he told fox news about how this is going to work this morning. let's listen. >> so somebody can write a note. >> and then the way it works is different. different people on the platform can sort of vote on that note. and if you get people who usually disagree who all say, yeah, that sounds right, then that note gets put on the on the post and people see it. x has been doing it for a while. we think it's working really well and we're going to adopt that system. >> so we're going to see a number of other changes to the company is pulling back on some of its automated content removal. so that will be focused on only the most extreme violations like terrorism, child sexual exploitation. and as you heard there, mark zuckerberg says this isn't a move to increase free expression, but i think it is pretty clearly also a play

to appeal to some of the republicans, including trump himself, who have accused the company of censoring right wing voices. >> i just don't think there's any question about that right now. and i'm sure they would sort of almost admit to that at this point. they made this announcement on fox news this morning, and overnight they announced a new board appointment, which is interesting. >> yeah, it is interesting. the company announced three new board members, including ufc ceo dana white, who we know is a trump supporter. he stumped for trump on the campaign trail, and meta has acknowledged, you know, acknowledged today that some of these changes are a result of the incoming new administration. they talked about the fact that over the past four years, they feel like there's been more pressure to crack down on certain kinds of content, and that this new administration is a new opportunity to sort of free up some of the conversation that's happening there. but mark zuckerberg did also acknowledge that these changes are going to mean more harmful content on the platforms. >> all right. i mean, a lot of changes. i wonder if they are done or if there's still more to come. claire duffy, thank you very much. kate. sara.

discrimination and deadly police misconduct. joining me now is minneapolis mayor jacob frey. thank you so much for being here this morning, bright and early. your time in minneapolis. i was there for every twist and turn of this case and saw the despair that unfolded in the neighborhood and in the city where all of this happened. i know this hasn't been made public yet, but can you give me at least one concrete example of what the city has agreed to in this consent decree that you think will make a difference to the citizens, particularly the black and brown residents, when it comes to how police treat them. >> yeah, we are the city where george floyd was murdered. >> that's part of our history. but the arc of the story is not over yet. and we're also going to be the city that gets this right. we're going to be an example for so many others to follow. and what this consent decree offers in concrete form is a structure that we're all going to be working

towards. everybody knows what the goals are. everybody knows that we've got to be waking up in the morning and going to bed at night, trying to get that necessary reform in place. and the fact that it's in a consent decree right now means that it's in permanent fashion. there's 170 some odd pages in this consent decree worth of of changes and improvements and reforms, many of which most of which, in fact are already underway. we haven't been sitting on our hands these last several years. in fact, we've been doing the work to set up an implementation team to establish a 24 hour a day, seven day a week mental health response. that's, by the way, part of the consent decree. and make sure that pieces like supervision are in place so that officers have both the kind of positive mentorship that they need, but also the accountability metrics in place so that we're making the change so that people on the street feel the difference. and that's the end goal here. the end goal is that we want every interaction with the police officer, even ones that are hard and difficult and even dangerous. we want people to feel that they were treated

fairly and with justice, and that's the goal we're pushing towards. >> i want to just remind the audience about this doj report, and the gist of the report was that the minneapolis police department had for years used dangerous techniques and weapons against people who had committed a petty offense or no offense at all, including unjustified deadly force. that is one of the quotes there. and then it says in a review of the 19 police shootings that took place between 2016 and the summer of 2022, the investigation found that a significant portion of them were unconstitutional. uses of deadly force, including officers shooting at individuals without determining any immediate threat. so i do want to talk to you about this report, because the report talks about the years after two years after george floyd was murdered. so why should citizens there believe that this consent decree is going to change anything? >> well, we'll be really

honest with people. there's not one panacea here. the circumstances that officers confront on a daily basis are often very hard. and at the same time, we all recognize that's part of the trajectory here, that we need to do better. and so what this consent decree allows for is very concrete steps that we're all signing on to. there's no debate. it doesn't change with political winds or new administration taking office at the federal or city level. it means that we're signing up to make the change. and i'll tell you, our officers are committed to this work. our chief is committed to this work. our commissioner, our attorneys, we're all committed to getting the job done here. and you know, what we're telling people is, is we're going to make sure that every hour of every day that we're doing this work is going to be devoted to meeting these standards and making these changes. and i do believe that we're on a positive trajectory right now. if you talk to people in

minneapolis, they'll tell you we're on a positive trajectory. the work is never going to be over. um, you know, we don't just want to complete the federal consent decree and call it a day. um, the idea is that is that it's long lasting and permanent change. and, yes, i am confident we'll meet the mark. >> i used to live and work in oakland, california, while their police department has changed and made improvements over the many years their department has been under a consent decree for more than 20 years. and the judge that's overseeing it says they are still dealing with what he termed cultural rot. do you trust that the minneapolis police department and the police chief and the officers as a whole will obey this decree and take this very seriously? or do you feel like there's some resistance? >> i do feel that they're going to take it seriously. uh, success here is not guaranteed.

it's going to require buy in. it will require buy in from our our chief and our commissioner. and they are bought in. it will require buy in from our officers. and right now we have officers that are coming into this department that are recognizing that change is afoot. they want to be part of that change. recruiting numbers are up right now. we're. people often talk about wanting more officers from the city and wanting officers that look like the rest of the community. in other words, diverse they are. it's happening. and so change is afoot right now. it's not something that we're waiting for. it's something that's taking place every day. and so am i confident that we're going to be able to meet this mark? yes. am i confident that they're not just going to obey, that they're obey? it's not about obeying. it's about buying in and believing in the change. and yes, i do believe we're moving in that direction right now. >> i know that police have a very hard job to do, but the public also, of course, deserves fairness. and certainly when it comes to deadly use of force, that's unconstitutional. that should

never, ever happen. let us hope that this, you know, this works, that this consent decree really is a moment of change. mayor jacob frey, thank you so much. i really appreciate you coming on and talking this through with me early this morning. kate. >> also new this morning. at least 95 people are dead after a powerful earthquake hit a remote region of tibet today. the 7.1 magnitude quake also wounded at least 130 people. more than a thousand homes were reportedly destroyed. there have been multiple aftershocks. chinese president xi called on officials to make an all out effort to find and rescue the survivors. and rudy giuliani, pushing back after a federal judge held him in contempt monday. according to this judge, the former new york mayor and trump ally has failed to turn over. really, a single dollar of the $148 million judgment he must pay to two former georgia election workers who he defamed. on monday, giuliani testified that he could not find some of the property he was. he was told to
