happier users over the long haul coming at a time when social media is under pressure. parents are on capitol hill this week lobbying congress to pass tougher regulations like the kids online act restricting social media company's interaction with minors. i talked about the timing of the roll-out. they said in part this is just a response to what parents have been asking them and they are hoping that they are pleased with the changes. all of this starts today. dana. >> dana: good to see you. thank you for the update. >> bill: important stuff. before we go, let's squeeze this in. we have 18 seconds. dazzling display. i can do this, right? this is realtime. it's not sped up. northern lights alaska. they have been amazing this year for many. so that's it. >> dana: i would like to see that one day in person, live and in color. harris faulkner is next. >> harris: breaking news, donald trump is right back on the

campaign trail. today he is in the swing state of michigan. i'm harris faulkner and you are in "the faulkner focus." we have learned so much more now about the suspected would be assassin in sunday's assassination attempt on trump's life. ryan routh echoed talking points from the democrats' political attacks on former president trump. republicans quick to call that out. they say words do matter. >> if you are constantly telling them that american democracy is going to end if this guy gets elected president, well -- so i do think the a pock lip i can rhetoric has increased threats to donald trump. >> the guy was completely unhinged. if you layer on top of that this constant narrative from the left that trump wants to sell ukraine out to the dictator putin. he wants to become a dictator

himself, and that no matter by any means necessary trump has to be stopped. >> harris: look at what people at the very top of the democratic party have been saying about trump this election cycle. >> he is a genuine danger to american security. >> don't give them the power. are they a threat to democracy yes? will they take away our rights? yes. >> in this moment our fundamental freedoms are on the ballot and so is our democracy. let me say something. we're fighting for democracy. donald trump is an existential threat to our democracy and most fundamental freedoms. >> harris: the trump campaign is posting longer lists of similar claims from other democrats and critics are calling out a "washington post" column in reaction to that. another chance for trump to frame democrats as dangerous has eme emerged. it adds trump world is easy

blame his opponents and to cast trump as a victim. look, they can say that but here are the facts. fewer than 120 minutes later, after the attempt to kill trump a second time, the powerful house democratic leader hakeem jeffries posted this. extreme maga republicans, we must stop them. a former cnn host appeared on his old network so he could say trump wants democrats to stop saying that he is a threat to democracy, then he should stop threatening democracy. democratic congressman mickey cheryl also on cnn quote, the rhetoric is getting amped up to very volatile lead levels on one side of the aisle. she was talking about republicans, of course.

and blaming the victim when the man who was the target is a republican. gop vice presidential nominee jd vance points out one very big contrast between these two political parties. >> i'm not going to say we're always perfect or i won't say conservatives always get things exactly right. you know the big difference between conservatives and liberals is that no one has tried to kill kamala harris in the last couple of months and two people now have tried to kill donald trump in the last couple of months. i would say that's pretty strong evidence that the left needs to tone down the rhetoric and needs to cut this crap out. >> harris: peter doocy live outside the white house now, peter. >> there is no reason to think the harris campaign thinks they need to change the text in her teleprompter after the second apparent assassination attempt because they didn't think they needed to after the first one. >> how is the rhetoric changed

in light of the assassination attempt with being here at the rnc and representing the dnc? >> it hasn't changed. >> he said they are just focused on the issues. over the last two campaigns it hasn't all just been focused on the issues. >> if you had to be stuck in an elevator with either president trump, mike pence or jeff sessions who would it be? >> does one of us have to come out alive? [laughter] >> and the trump team is pointing to clips like that one several years old to back up their claims that biden and harris are inspiring assassins. >> this is the one that weaponizeed, not me. she weaponizeed. i probably took a bullet to the head because of the things that they say about me. they talk about democracy. i'm a threat to democracy. they are the threat to democracy. with a fake russia, russia, russia, investigation. >> recent history president

biden has pumped the brakes on his own rhetoric before dropping out for telling donors to put trump in a bull's-eye. >> it was a mistake to word. i didn't say crosshairs. i meant focus on him. focus on what he is doing. focus on his policies, focus on the number of lies he told in the debate. >> that's as much walking back as anybody around here has done over the last several months. if president biden will talk about this today, it will be any minute at an oval office briefing about the wildfires out west. >> harris: of course, our team is monitoring that as well as you if there is any breaking news we'll bring it to everybody. thank you for getting us started. jason chaffetz, fox news contributor and former republican congressman of utah. i can only imagine on the hill and for those of you who served the nation as its leaders off the hill now are talking about the mission to keep donald trump alive. what's that conversation like?

>> well, it shouldn't even be a topic. the reality is we have a secret service that is failing us, they are not living up to the job, duty and responsibility. but at the same time the rhetoric -- we have to be really careful. not everybody has the ability to process information and put it into context. so when you keep saying russia, russia, he is an agent after russia and keep saying he is threat to democracy, a threat to democracy is a threat to the country. and if you are having that kind of language out there in a regular drumbeat from the leaders of the democratic side of the aisle, there is just one or two that it takes to act on it and unfortunately we've seen a couple of instances on that. there is lessons to be learned on both sides but the balance right now from the hillary clintons of the world and the others, it is so out of control. it is fundamentally totally wrong.

>> harris: theirs will get so much more coverage. the negative coverage against trump is bakeed into the liberal playbook at this point. so whatever they say gets amplified. a new op-ed to that point says the left's apocalyptic rhetoric only increased over the first assassination attempt. for democrats to denounce political violence while leading supporters to think freedom is finished if trump winds, it is culpable. you've heard me say many times it is complicit. >> it is complicit. at the same time, i think -- to continue no matter the rhetoric or no matter what's happening out there, to just stay on message, talk about america, talk about its future, talk about what he did as president, talk about what he wants to do for the country. don't take the bait. any day that democrats cannot talk about their policies is a

good day for democrats. i think they are willing to take this hit for the next few days and weeks on end because if they don't talk about policy, they think they can win. that's hard. superman and yoda, do you think they ever said did you hear what they said about me? did you hear what taylor swift said? don't take that bait. just go out and be the strong leader and save the world. save this country. talk about what you are going to do. that's the powerful message that i think america wants to hear. >> harris: you are asking trump to stay on it. all right. we've got to go. this may be about the attempted assassination on donald trump. we've been monitoring this. the nation's attorney general merrick garland. let's watch. >> attorney's office for the southern district of florida, national security division all coordinating closely with our local, state law enforcement partners on the ground. we will all work together to

tirelessly determine accountability in this matter. we will spare no resource in this investigation. it's an honor to be here today as we celebrate 30 years of the office of community oriented policing service. it's fitting the department is celebrating the cops office with our community partners because it is these community partnerships that have made the work of the cops office possible. whether you are a current or former cops office employee, community member, advocate, law enforcement professional, city, state. >> harris: we knew this event was coming up and it wasn't specifically about any investigation into the now second attempt to kill donald trump by a would be assassin suspect. so the minute he brought that up we wanted to bring it to you. he didn't hit it for very long. now that he has moved on with his previously planned comments on a different topic we'll move on, too. i want to bring back jason chaffetz now.

talking about your words for donald trump not to take the bait from the left and digging in even deeper on that left side of the aisle with toxic rhetoric potentially dangerous rhetoric. but in any regard, it is toxic. i want to know what are the next steps do you think politically in all of this? they can't spend too much time on that. when you hear hakeem jeffries. a friend of yours. i know him because you introduced me to hakim before i interviewed him. how far can they stay in this vat of hate and toxicity against trump and not seem like they really don't have any other ideas? >> well, they don't have any other ideas. remember, the core of their thesis in electing joe biden and now kamala harris is unity. they were going to be joyful and so i think america figures out that these joyful warriors are mean and vile. they don't mean what they are

actually saying. they will do whatever they need to do to get elected but it has nothing to do with being joyful and uniting the country. and one other totally side point. i have to point this out. where is alejandro mayorkas, the secretary of homeland security. the one importing people by the hundreds of thousands and millions of people. he is the one in charge of the united states secret service. how come we don't hear from him? how come he is not answering questions? instead we have the department of justice out there talking not in charge of the secret service. >> harris: not to mention the fact they're down 1500 people in staff. we don't know how high up those positions go. maybe some of them could be assets to protect this former president and other leaders, too. but having his voice and his presence in this is necessary. it is tied into texas, as you know, different topic designated

that gang from venezuela that is so dangerous now on our soil as a terrorist organization. do you think he would come out and speak on that. that just happened. so much going on on his watch to watch the homeland. it is embarrassing for him. they tried to impeach him and kick him out. it didn't work. jason chaffetz, thank you. new information now on just how the suspect got so close to president trump on that golf course in florida. and how long he was hanging out in the area. we know he had enough food and he was out there for 12 hours. what is happening with that suspect? criticism for the us secret service is red hot. you heard some there from jason chaffetz and it is getting hotter. the venezuelan gang is expanding inside the united states. texas governor greg abbott is taking matters into his own hands now. >> we know that if we don't stop this now, it could spread

rapidly across our state endangering people across our state. we have one goal and that is to arrest them. >> harris: all right. that gang is bringing violence to our cities far from the border, new york, miami, new information and frightening fresh video. republican senator marsha blackburn of tennessee in "focus" next. out of control. get a newday 100 va cash out loan at lower mortgage rates to pay off those high rate car loans. have you tried these new febreze car vent clips? the new intensity dial gives you total control. i can turn it up... that smells good! or turn it down... hmm. nice and light. enjoy 40 days of freshness, your way. ♪ lalalalala ♪

>> harris: new numbers from customs and border protection show the truth. more than 1.3 million people have been let into the united states through controversial biden-harris administration programs. the truth, they slowed down the border a bit in the hottest

months this summer and quietly let in high numbers of people in other ways. the administration, the biden-harris administration and white house, are creating or using lawful alternatives to illegal entry so they are swapping it out. more than a half million people have flown into the united states on flights from cuba, haiti, nicaragua and venezuela. another 800,000 scheduled were admitted through ports of entry using the cbp1 app. remember how the migrants at the border crossers were saying the app was overloaded and couldn't get it to work? that's the app. some of these people have committed violent crimes since being allowed into america. which includes incidents involving the violent venezuelan gang tren de aragua, or tda, reports of their brutality continuing to rise. this as new video now of more

than 100 suspected tda gang members. they were part of the massive group of people that rushed the southern border earlier this year. this is them. they are here now. yesterday texas governor greg abbott had had enough. he announced a major crackdown on those gang members that you see in the middle of your screen. >> i am officially declaring tda a foreign terrorist organization. make sure tda understands when they go to the state of texas they'll face the heavy hand of law enforcement with a robust hundreds if you count all the local law enforcement, thousands of law enforcement officers focused on tda. they have a target on their back and we are going after them. >> harris: marsha blackburn of the great state of tennessee member of the senate judiciary committee and veteran affairs committee. i want to top in what's

happening on the hill. i can't imagine there wouldn't be a lot of pressure for leadership across the country to put the easy, low hanging fruit of this organization designated as a terror organization. >> and indeed there should be. this organization, they are violent, they are criminal and yes, harris, this organization should be labeled a foreign terrorist organization. and i appreciate that governor abbott has stepped up and taken the lead on this. tda is across the country. and what you are seeing is crimes across the country where they are going, all of this criminal activity. look, as we've said many times, every town is a border town, every state is a border state. you have this administration working overtime to try to make illegal entry legal so they can say they've gotten the numbers

down. whether it's the app, whether it's flying them in, the point is this. these are criminal illegal aliens. it is why i have the clear act, which allows local law enforcement to apprehend these people to hold them, requires ice to deport them within 48 hours, and then pay back the local law enforcement agency for what they spend apprehending and detaining these individuals. here is another thing to look at. under the biden-harris administration, 382 known terrorists have come into this country. 382. under president donald trump, it was a total of 11. this is a 3,000% increase. harris, these people have to be apprehended and they have to be locked up, they have to be

removed from our country. >> harris: look, i know you are on the senate judiciary committee and you are not handling court cases time and again but there have to be a few that you keep your eye on. when tda hits our court system, is it flagged? do you get a flag on capitol hill in your email that says we have a really, really bad guy now? i'm just wondering are we keeping up with them? you know i'm asking this question. they leave, they come back. >> that's right. that's exactly right. no, why don't we send these known terrorists to gitmo and keep them locked up there? we don't get a flag. we don't know where they are in the court system. we find out about it through news reporting just like everybody else does. >> harris: that's dangerous for all of us. if anybody should have it, it should be the judiciary committee. i mean -- >> absolutely.

absolutely. as i said, 382 terrorists. that's not our number, that is dhs, mayorkas, of course, i thought he should have been fired long ago. but he doesn't have a handle on this. he doesn't have a handle on the number of children that have been lost. he doesn't have a handle on the secret service. the list of failures continue to grow. it makes our country less safe. it makes our communities less safe. it makes our families less safe because these gangs are committing robberies in every state across this country. they are endangering people. people are being harmed. it is time for dhs, it is time for this administration, to actually do something about securing the border. the border czar didn't want to do it. somebody needs to do this.

>> harris: they couldn't fire -- she haven't fired mayorkas and harris hasn't talked about doing that either. they are supposed to be together. no daylight between them. it came out of biden's mouth. they are close on all the big decisions that affect our lives. get rid of mayorkas, republicans tried it on the hill. now it's time for the president to do his job and fire this man and replace him with somebody that can do the job. >> right. >> harris: senator blackburn, thank you for being with me. speaking of people who are having some problems with and what the senator was getting to there with all the children were the sex trafficking cases that we know of, this does not necessarily involve children but it does involve charges of sex trafficking. sean diddy combs now facing charges including racketeering, sex trafficking, kidnapping and forced label. we expect to hear from federal officials soon. we'll bring it to you.

the second assassination attempt on former president donald trump is raising big questions about obvious things that were missed by authorities. >> an agent that was paying attention noticed something out of the ordinary. but this should be detected much earlier and prevented and disrupted. >> harris: even people on the liberal side of the aisle, the liberal media saying it's essential to step up security around the former president. former f.b.i. agent nichole parker in "focus" with me next. d unintentional movements in his face, hands, and feet called tardive dyskinesia, or td. so his doctor prescribed austedo xr— a once-daily, extended-release td treatment for adults. ♪ as you go with austedo ♪ austedo xr significantly reduced dan's td movements. some people saw a response as early as 2 weeks. with austedo xr, dan can stay on his mental health meds—

unsealed charges are now. we know some of the topics that the charges fall under, sex trafficking, racketeering, but now we'll learn with more specificity of what is in that indictment against him. remember, he was arrested hours ago at a hotel in manhattan and i believe this is the attorney for the southern district, the u.s. attorney. let's watch. >> district of new york. today i'm announcing the unsealing of a three-count indictment charging sean combs with racketeering, conspiracy, sex trafficking, interstate transportation for prostitution. the indictment alleges that between at least 2008 and the present combs abused, threatened and coerced victims to fulfill his sexual desires. protect his reputation and eal . as alleged in the indictment to carry out this conduct sean combs led and participated in a racketeering conspiracy that

used the business empire he controlled to carry out criminal activity including sex trafficking, forced labor, kidnapping, arson, bribery, and the obstruction of justice. let me say a little more about the charges. the indictment alleges that combs abused and exploited women and other people for years and in a variety of ways. as alleged, combs used force, threats of force, coercion to cause victims to engage in extended sexual performances with male commercial sex workers. some of whom he transported or caused to be transported overstate lines. combs allegedly planned and controlled the sex performances which he called freakoffs. he often electronically recorded them. the freakoffs sometimes lasted days at a time, involved multiple commercial sex workers and often involved a variety of

narcotics which combs distributed to the victims to keep them obedient and compliant. when combs didn't get his way, he was violent. and he subjected victims to physical, emotional and verbal abuse so they would participate in the freakoffs. and that combs hit, kicked, threw objects at and dragged victims, at times by their hair. on one occasion in march of 2016, that conduct was captured on video and later reported in the media. specifically combs kicked, dragged and threw a vase as a victim in a los angeles hotel when the victim was attempting to flee. as alleged, these assaults often resulted in injuries to the victims which took days or weeks to heal. in addition to the violence, the indictment alleges combs threatened and coerced victims to get them to participate in the freakoffs. he used the embarrassing and

sensitive recordings as collateral against the victims. that he made. the indittyment alleges he maintained control over the victims in several ways including by giving them drugs, by giving and threatening to take away financial support, or housing, by promising them career opportunities, by monitoring their whereabouts, and even by dictating their physical appearance. because of all of this, the indictment alleges the victims did not believe they could refuse combs without risking their security or facing more abuse. the indictment alleges other acts of violence by combs and others including violence against witnesses to his abuse, kidnapping and arson. indictment alleges on more than one occasion combs carried or brandished firearms to intimidate and threaten victims and witnesses. now combs did not do this all on his own.

as i mentioned, combs has been charged with rico conspiracy. he used his business and employees of that business and other close associates to get his way. those individuals allegedly included high ranking supervisors in the business, personal assistants, security staff, and household staff. the indictment alleges that those individuals facilitated the freakoffs, booked the hotel rooms and stocked them with the supplies, including drugs, baby oil, personal lubricant, extra linens and lighting. when the hotel rooms got damaged, they helped clean it up. they arranged for victims and sex workers to travel for freakoffs and delivered large quantities of tax to combs to pay for the commercial sex workers and alleges they helped combs cover up his crimes. during the march 2016 incident at the l.a. hotel i mentioned

earlier, a member of the hotel security staff intervened and combs attempted to bribe the staff member with a stack of cash to make sure that what happened was kept quiet. as the indictment alleges in late 2023 after public allegations were made about combs's crimes he and others pressured witnesses and victims to stay silent, including by making phone calls to witnesses and victims and giving them a false narrative of what they had experienced. as alleged, combs used others to help conceal his abuse by monitoring and preventing victims from leaving a location in order to hide their injuries or by locating and contacting a victim who had attempted to flee. as part of this investigation, in march of this year, special agents from hsi executed search warrants at combs' residence in miami and los angeles and executed a warrant for combs's electronic devices. during those searches, agent

seized evidence of the crimes charged in this indictment. they seized firearms and ammunition including three defaced ar-15s and large capacity drum magazine. they also seized evidence of the freakoffs. electronic devices that contained images and videos of the freakoffs with multiple victims. they seized cases and cases of the kinds of personal lubricant and baby oil that his staff used to stock hotel rooms for the freakoffs. more than 1,000 bottles all together. here are some of the items that we recovered during the searches. as you can see here, this is a drum magazine large capacity. it contains 59 rounds. i mentioned what we recovered three ar-15s, this is a close-up shot of one of the ar-15s and

you can see right here the serial number has been thoroughly defaced. another picture of more ammunition and parts of two ar-15s right there. now i want to be clear about two things. first, this office is determined to investigate and prosecute anyone who engages in sex trafficking no matter how powerful or wealthy or famous you may be. no one should doubt our commitment on that. a year ago, sean combs stood in times square and was handed a key to new york city. today he has been indicted and will face justice in the southern district of new york. second, we are not done. this investigation is ongoing and i encourage anyone with information about this case to come forward and to do it quickly. anyone with information can call

1-877-4hsi-tip. i want to express my deep appreciation for the victims and with it used their voices and brought the criminal conduct to light. we wouldn't be here without them. i also want to thank the dedicated case agents on the hsi trafficking and person squad in new york with us since day one and worked tirelessly on this investigation and continue to be invaluable partners to us. i also want to thank the incredible agents and analysts who have provided tremendous assistance on this case. i'm deeply grateful for their continued work. finally i want to thank the outstanding career prosecutors from sgny who are handling case. and their supervisors. they are members of the civil

rights unite in our criminal division. we created the civil rights unit when i became u.s. attorney. i'm deeply proud of their work on this and so many other cases. i'll now take some questions. >> abc, thanks. the indictment describes aggressive open, violent abuse that was widely known. why did it take law enforcement so long to intervene? how many women were victimized and how many others were involved? >> our investigation is ongoing and committed to bringing justice to everyone who has been victimized by the defendant. i can't tell you why it took so long. the better focus is on the fact we're here today and we are committed to making sure that justice is done.

next question. >> nbc. >> you said we're not done and that combs did not do this alone. do you foresee there could be other charges related to this case? >> i'm not taking anything off the table. >> news day. >> what's the difference between the sex trafficking and promoting travel for the purpose of prostitution? >> they are different crimes with different elements. i don't think we should get into the nitty-gritty of the legal discussion right now. but the sex trafficking we believe -- they are all serious offenses. the sex trafficking conduct carries some significant penalties and we are gratified we were able to bring that charge. >> one more coercive than the other? >> i won't be able to get into that. you can look it up and sex trafficking when it involves coercion or force is a very serious crime and carries significant penalties. >> good afternoon.

abc7 new york. thank you for this press conference and for the details. two questions. in context of this indictment and the information that was presented to the grand jury, are you able to clarify the number of victims? it is mentioned plural in the indictment but can you specify the number of victims for this particular indictment? secondly, can you provide details about the alleged arson? >> unfortunately i'm unable to provide either. the number of victims you are correct, we are intentional in saying multiple. the details of the arson incident are limited to what we have in the indictment and also the detention letter that we filed which contains more details than the indictment does at various points. we don't have anything more beyond that. >> cnn. >> are any of his accomplices or associates under investigation?

additionally, could he face any more charges? >> the investigation is ongoing. that means both as to him and to anyone else who we believe committed the crime with him. >> good morning. any indication that some of the women or victims here were imprisoned in his residences and did he have locations where he kept them? and did they -- were not allowed the leave? also, he is indicted here, although there were searches and raids in miami. why in new york? >> i'm bias, i think we have an outstanding track record of bringing some of the most impactful, sprawling, complex, difficult sex trafficking human trafficking, labor trafficking, you name it. the southern district of new york can do it and we're proud of that.

the scope and complicity is what we embrace. we'll continue to do that. whether he imprisoned anyone. all i can say i mentioned this march 2016 incident where something was caught on video where a victim was attempting the flee and there was violence associated with it. >> was that at the residence or hotel? >> it was at a hotel. >> does your office intend to seek remand? are you reaching a bail package? how would you contrast this with the kelly case in terms of the elements? >> so we'll be seeking detention. we have filed a letter laying out our reasoning for seeking pre-trial detention. i'm not going to be able to expand what's in the letter. it contains all the reasoning and contains the law as well. there is a presumption of detention in a case like this and we think it is warranted. >> "new york daily news." >> thank you. i was hoping to get some more

detail about the searches of his residents. the guns, the cases of lubricant and the videos. where were they found amongst his residents. scattered around the house, in one place? wanted to get a better picture of how that stuff was found. >> look, i think some of the details that you are seeking are in the detention letter. for instance, some of the ar-15s, two of the three defaced ar-15s were found in his bedroom closet in miami. broken down into parts. along with magazines with ammunition loaded in them. so some of that detail is in the detention letter. beyond that i won't be able to get into where other items were stored. >> post. >> thanks for doing this. your office was the office that had been prosecuting jeffrey epstein before he died in

custody. i have not read your detention memo yet. that's the first thing i will do after this ends. but does the memo address or is your office concerned with combs's safety in custody given what happened with epstein? >> we're concerned with anyone's safety whenever they are detained prior to trial. it is part of our obligation to keep people safe as well. part of the criminal justice system. but i do not draw any sort of connection between jeffrey epstein's suicide and what may or may not happen to any other defendant while they are detained pre-trial. of course, the decision whether to detain the defendant will be up to a judge. our position is that pre-trial detention is warranted under the law and based on the facts of this case and i will leave it at that.

>> are some of the prosecutors on this case some of the same prosecutors that have been hand, inc. that or worked on the maxwell case? >> so i'm not going to get into the staffing. i will say that this team, this group of ausas, incredible group has been working on this case around the clock and have had their hands full. next question. >> nbc news. >> combs' attorney said his client has been cooperative with investigators. i wonder if you would have a reaction to that. >> let me say this. i think that generally with increasing frequency the word cooperative or cooperating has taken on tremendous elasticity and it no longer bears any relation to what the word means when we use it in a very specific context. so responding to lawful process

and the like does not qualify as cooperation when we use that term here. >> a.p. >> to that end, was there any discussion of mr. combs' surr surrendering. he was taken into custody in a hotel last night and maybe that wasn't the plan. can you elaborate why was that? >> i won't be able to get in operational details how he was taken into custody and when. he is in custody right now and appearing in court later today. >> any discussion of him surrendering they claim he is cooperating? >> i won't be able to get into law enforcement tactics or operations. >> [inaudible question] >> i can't get into the charging decision. it is very meaningful to us that weapons were possessed as we allege in the indictment. part of the reason why this

conduct was so pervasive and harmful is because victims and others didn't necessarily feel comfortable denying him his wishes as we allege because of the presence of firearms. i should leave it there. >> last question. >> given that he is the sole defendant in this case and that you allege he is part of a conspiracy that involves members of his companies do you anticipate a superseding indictment to bring allegations against other members of his companies or others as well? >> i can't take anything off the table. anything is possible. our investigation is active and ongoing. i think a lot of you who cover this office know when we say such things that developments are certainly foreseeable but i cannot predict them sitting here today. thank you, everyone. >> thank you.

>> harris: all right. there was a lot to get through there and had we known how graphic the detail was going to be from the u.s. attorney of the southern district new york, damian williams, i certainly would have given you some sort of warning of that. i know that there are people watching right now who might be at home with young children in the room. but we had no way of knowing and because this was a sealed indictment until now, we had no way of knowing just what the topics in total were going to be. we knew sex trafficking. you heard me say that. but when this u.s. attorney drilled down, we heard some things that were brought into focus in different ways. from 2008 to the present, they have been looking at claims against sean diddy combs that

encompass those things. sex trafficking, racketeering, violence and more. some of what we didn't learn and now i've given you an idea of where we're going to go next. so if this is graphic for anybody in the room, i will just give a moment. in fact, let me invite my guest to join me while you take care of your business at home. nichole parker, fox news contributor and former f.b.i. agent. look, nichole, this is a lot. the use of coercion, force, exploiting and abusing women to perform multiple acts of sex with male sex workers called freakoffs. the details were unmissable in all of this. your first reaction, and legally what does this expose combs to? >> first of all, these investigations in my opinion are

the most serious and the darkest that you will conduct as a law enforcement officer. that is exactly what you heard. this is a 14-page indictment with three counts. the abuse, the harm, the danger that these victims were placed in for years. this is an ongoing pattern of diddy's behavior. it didn't start yesterday. it has been going on since 2008. his attorney has come out and said this is an unjust prosecution. i've seen an unjust prosecution. we all have in this country. this is anything but an unjust prosecution. i would say that this is a rock solid indictment and it is time that this individual, diddy, takes it seriously. he has been in a position of power for so many years and runs this huge empire. a lot of people believe that when they have that much power, they are untouchable. they do not have to answer to the laws and you know what? the gig is up. this is a solid indictment out of the southern district of new

york. they're the best and after what happened with epstein, nothing is going to go unnoticed. >> harris: that's part of where i was thinking this was perhaps a little bit like. but this just gets so much more violent with the accusations against combs himself, violently assaulting people and the idea he would tape record all of this and use the recordings against the people to basically buy their complicity in his crimes. we don't have a lot of time with all the breaking news. your last quick thought. >> that's exactly what he did. videotaped them so he could use it against them in the future and they control their victims and they use it against them and say if you do this i'll harm you or hurt you or embarrass you. he physically and mentally abused them and emotionally abused them and must be held accountable. >> harris: nichole parker, thank you for your expertise.
