they only like to write about the bad things. and there aren't too many of them.

we had other good news yesterday but i can't talk to you about that. frankly you call that one

totally wrong. mr. president -- >> some say it was disrespectful for macron to invite zarif. >> he has my approval. we have a very good relationship. that's another thing you get wrong. this was the best meeting we've had with president macron. we're not finished yet. there's a day left. we have a lot of meetings including with the president of egypt, which i'm looking forward to. i'm meeting with angela merkel and a few others. we have some sessions. and then we'll have a nervous if

you so choose. on macron, no, no, he spoke to me, he asked me. i said if you want to do that, that's okay. i don't consider that disrespectful at all. >> president al-sisi is very important. >> ask mike pompeo, secretary of state and he's working very, very hard on that situation and very competently. if you look and see what's going on with the palestinians, we'd like to see if we can make a deal. it's very tough. it got complicated by the israel elections. but we're going to know who the prime minister will be fairly soon. i think the palestinians would like to make a deal. as you know, i cut off most funding to the palestinians, a

lot of funding. i think they'd like to make a deal. we'll see what happens. they pay, pay, pay. this went on for years. so i don't believe in that. we cut off their funding a lot of it. we'll see what happens. i think they want to make a deal, the palestinians. after so many years and decades i think they're a little tired of fighting. >> you're confident that it's going to be released right after -- >> the deal? no of course not. >> no. after. >> i think you may see what the deal is before the election. everybody says that's the deal that can't be made. israel and the palestinians,

tremendous hatred for many many decades. everybody says it is a deal that cannot be made so we'll see if we can make it. i knew he was coming in. i respected the fact that he was coming in. he met with president macron. iran has a very difficult situation. they're in a position that's not a very good position from the standpoint of economics. that's okay. we can clear that up very quickly. we're not looking for regime change. we're looking to make iran rich again. let them be rich. let them do well if they want. or they can be poor as can be. i'll tell you why. i don't think it's acceptable the way they're being forced to

live in iran. it's got to be nonnuclear. we're going to talk about ballistic missiles, we're going to talk about timing, we're going to talk about the length of the agreement which expires in a very short period of time. the agreement president obama made expires in a very short period of time. he paid $150 billion for a short-term agreement. plus he gave him 1.8 billion in cash. finance minister, which one? explain to him 1.8 billion in cash. >> what's the next step for iran? >> we'll see what happens. it's all very new. they're under a lot of financial stress. the secretary of the treasury is

here now. he's really an expert at what he does. he's done a very effective job. we are the largest economy by far in the world. when i became president we were heading to be the second largest. china was going to overtake us. not going to happen. when i'm here, can't happen. we've picked up $23 trillion in worth and china has lost 20-30 trillion in worth. if i hadn't won, our country would be taken of by china. all these clowns are all sitting there saying, quell, i don't think the president is negotiating properly. they don't know what they're talking about. i have great respect for the fact that china called. they want to make a deal.

i have great respect and i have great respect for president xi. now we're dealing on proper terms. they understand and we understand. but that's a great thing that happened and they want to get something done. maybe it won't get done but this is the first time i've seen them where they really do want to make a deal. i think that's a very pods step. as far as iran was concerned, that was with great respect. i spoke to president macron yesterday. i knew everything he was doing and i approved. i think it's too soon to meet. i didn't want to meet. i said i don't want to meet right now. it's going to be a great thing for iran. they have great potential. iran has great potential. you know who else has great potential? north korea, kim jong-un. under his leadership north korea has great potential. i don't think north korea wants to blow it, but if they blow it,

it won't be good. >> you didn't want to meet with zarif. did you send him a message? >> i don't want to comment. [ inaudible question ] >> am i going to tariff french wine? >> yes. >> it depends the deal we work out on the digital tax. >> what's the status of that? >> we're negotiating right now. >> i'm not going to tell you what i'm willing to do but iran has a chance to build themselves up and be a very great nation, greater than before. but they have to stop terrorism. that is your number one nation of terror. not in the last year and a half two years because they can't spend like they used to spend. they took president obama's $150 billion and they doled it out to terroris terrorists. i think they're going to change, i really do. i think they have a chance to be

a very special nation. i hope that's true. >> he's one of my closest friends. they send us millions and millions of cars. they have for many years. they're essentially not taxed. they send them in for japan. they're essentially not taxed. my first step to japan was to say you have to move car company into the united states, and they did, many car companies and now operating militants in te ining states. the ultimate card is they sent us millions and millions of

cars. essentially it's 2.5% but there's ways of getting around it. essentially non-tariff, free. he's going to make the deal. i feel pretty certain about that. that's what i do. that's the thing people didn't understand. we have the cards. we're the big piggy bank that everybody's been robbing for 35 years. we have all the cards but we never played it because we never had a president that understood this and we never had an administration that understood it. [ inaudible question ] >> nobody's ever asked me that question but you. tell me why would i do that? why? thank you very much.

>> thank you. >> we have been listening to president trump with the president of the arab republic of egypt. they're going to be a bilateral meeting. president trump talking about iran's visit to the g7 summit, which was a bit of a surprise and saying how macron had actually asked him for permission. also talking about a trade deal with china, saying china had made two phone calls and they were going to be talking with them about a trade deal and bringing them back to the table. also talking about his meeting with abe of japan about tariffs coming through there.

kelly, you've been traveling with the president. what is the latest? we got a lot out of that meeting. were there any surprises? >> reporter: definitely. this was one of those opportunity where is the president uses the backdrop of a meeting with egypt's president, he used that platform of having the press pool there and the international media to make news on a number of fronts. this was the president harnessing the cameras for a moment to go beyond the conversation with egypt to talk about what he says is a major development number u.in the u.s trade war. china reaching out is a major development and it would have a

big impact on the economy. we don't have a lot of details yet on what that will look like, but we have seen the president has been using a couple of different levers over the last week or so to raise tariffs, to talk about the possibility of setting into motion a very rare and obscure legal tactic to try to get u.s. companies to remove china from their supply chain, something that seemed very farfetched but he put that into the discussion. and now it appears that china wants to talk again on trade. so we'll have to see where that goes. at the same time, other big news. he is giving us more detail on the unexpected arrival that we saw here at the g7 of iran's foreign minister. the first reports came out yesterday when an iranian official plane was spotted landing here at the setting for

the g7 summit. we're learning that emanuel m macrmac macron spoke with president trump. of course remember the u.s. pulled out of the iran nuclear deal. france has wanted to stay in it. has want eed to keep the international partnership to keep iran from getting a nuclear weapon and trying to keep the negotiations going. japan's shinzo abe has also been trying to communicate with iran. this is the mysterious diplomacy that president trump shed some height on. he did not want to have any involvementably he would not an questions about whether he sent

a meblg himself to iran. when this president does not comment that is notable. a no comment tends to be in areas that are very sensitive. is it an area where there is an answer and he just feels unwilling to share it at this point because of whatever since r sensitive matters might be at play. the president has a very close relationship with israel and israel's prime minister. a lot more to come today. the formal meeting between president trump and france's emanuel macron will allow for a broader set of questions and will be kind of the summary of this international gathering. coming into the g7 people wondered how would it be

different. they have not typically gone well. there have been a lot of koef controversies. this one has taken on a different character. the injection of the iran piece is something that was unexpected and certainly critically important. there is more to develop as the day unfolds. >> kelly, you talked about iran being interjected here. president trump also brought up north korea saying they have great potential. how is north korea playing into the g7 summit? >> certainly when you talk about internal security, there is a conversation among these leaders about the concerns. when you talk about the president's close friendship with shinzo abe and the president was asked about the

continued testing of missiling from north korea. he did say he was not happy about it. there was a little bit of separation between he and japan. the plt sresident saying it did go quite that far. >> kelly has been traveling with president trump, who is now in a bilateral meeting with the president of egypt. we'll have more updates throughout the night and breaking news when it happens.

and they say he made a startling admission. >> he said, "i'm sorry, andrea. and i'm sorry mom." >> reporter: gianna wasn't having it.m >> i was yelling and saying to him, "you're sick. you're a sick man and that," he -- he agreed. he said that he was a sick man. and -- >> he agreed? >> yes. and he felt very embarrassed.

>> reporter: andrea decided to make her own call to the local police.ry canadian detectives interviewed her, then contacted the authorities in pennsylvania where cosby lived. they opened an investigation. and that made news... >> bill cosby is the focus of a police investigation near is philadelphia. it stems from an allegation... >> did you understand, andrea, how public this all might get at that point?st >> yes. i -- >> were you scared? >> i was. yes. and it sunk in more and more as the days passed. >> reporter: andrea's mom was worried, too. and wanted to protect her daughter. so she did something unusual. she bought a phone recording device and used it the next time she talked to the comedian. >> why did you record it? >> because i was hoping to have his admission of what he had told me on the first call. >> i wanted to get back to you because -- >> reporter: but right away, it seemed cosby wasn't willing to talk about what happened to

andrea. >> i -- i don't wanna talk about anything except a mute, a mutual feeling for uh, a friendship. >> reporter: and just as fast, gianna's plan started to unravel. cosby seemed to realize she was recording the call. so gianna tried to make an excuse for a sound he heard. blaming it on her pet. >> you -- do you have a beeping going on in your phone. >> no, no, not at all. i have a parrot. >> i know this is a beep. >> no, no, i have a parrot, i mean i don't have a -- no. >> a parrot? >> reporter: cosby changed the subject. and offered to financially help andrea if she wanted to pursue a graduate degree. >> yeah, i'll lay out what i think is the best. pay for the schooling. i >> uh-huh. >> and a whatever, as long as she maintains a three point zero average, she'll be fine. >> reporter: gianna says she

wasn't interested in cosby's money. but she did want the name of the drug he'd given andrea. she'd asked him for that in their previous phone call. >> are you really gonna send me on that piece of paper the name of that stuff or not. or were you joking? >> oh, no, no, no, no. we can, we can talk about what you asked for later. >> okay. >> okay. >> okay, just because i'm concerned. i, i don't know how it affected her and i wanna know. >> i don't think so, d -- ho wouldn't even worry about it if i were, i'm serious about this. let's get with the other thing. okay. >> reporter: the conversation ended. days later, andrea was interviewed by police in pennsylvania. she hoped cosby would be charged. but that didn't happen. in a dramatic development, the

montgomery county district attorney said he would not file criminal charges, citing a lack of "credible and admissible evidence." yet, andrea's story was far from over. if the d.a. wouldn't go after cosby, she would. >> you start hearing from a lot of women.s >> reporter: the attorneys who would turn everything around. >> you have a two-women office basically up against a multi-milloinaire superstar, intimidated? >> underestimated. o-d? ornend >> underestimated. great presentation, tim. could you email me the part about geico making it easy to switch and save hundreds? oh yeah, sure. um. you don't know my name, do you? (laughs nervously) of course i know your name. i just get you mixed up with the other guy.

>> i just needed to just make

>> i just needed to just make the first step. after that, it was in god's hands. >> reporter: it was early 2005 after the d.a. decided not to press charges against bill cosby, andrea decided to hire two suburban philadelphia lawyers.

>> when andrea called me in 2005, little could i imagine that we'd still be on this journey in 2018. >> reporter: bebe kivitz and dolores troiani had years of experience helping survivors of sexual assault. after andrea's story made news, other women privately reached out with similar accusations. >> you start hearing from a lot of women. >> right. thirteen.// >> all of whom tell -- tell you what? >> well, some of them were consensual relationships, but everyone had the same story, which is, "i'm with bill cosby, and the next thing i know, i drank something or i take a pill and i'm out." >> reporter: in march 2005, andrea sued cosby in a civil lawsuit. >> dolores, bebe, you have a two-women office basically up against a multi-millionaire, superstar, world-renowned comedian. >> we hadn't noticed that. >> intimidated? >> never. >> never. n -- really, never. >> never.

>> underestimated. >> you were underestimated. >> absolutely. >> reporter: andrea's lawyers had lots of questions for cosby. and because thiswas a civil case, the comedian was forced to sit for a deposition. >> can you describe what happened when you walked in the room? >> well, it was four days, and each day, he had at least four male lawyers there. >> was he confident? >> well, he was arrogant. there was one part, that he uses to explain how, in his mind, women don't need to verbalize their consent because, you know, he just knows. and -- and it was -- very -- it -- it was disgusting. >> reporter: andrea was there to look him in the eye and hear what he had to say. >> having to sit in the same room as mr. cosby and his attorneys, i -- didn't feel as scared. >> reporter: cosby was now on the record, at times ignoring the advice of hisown lawyers and freely offering crucial details. >> he admitted, he had given andrea three blue pills, three round, blue pills that were

friends. >> reporter: and there was more. dolores specifically asked him about quaaludes, a prescription sedative popular in the 70's "when you got the quaaludes was it in your mind that you were going to use these quaaludes for young women that you wanted to have sex with?" cosby answered 'yes.'" >> and he never takes them himself. he said he had seven prescriptions of quaaludes for young women to have sex with. >> reporter: in november 2006, cosby settled the lawsuit and admitted no wrongdoing. andrea signed a non-disclosure agreement, and cosby paid her $3.38 million dollars. the depositions sealed from the public. >> now what was it you wanted to say? >> reporter: and while a few other women made accusations against the comedian, the story essentially died out.

until 2014, eight years later, when another comedian took the stage. >> i had a successful sitcom, but yeah, you rape women bill cosby so turn the carzy down a couple notches. >> reporter: hannibal buress added a bit about cosby to his routine. >> i've done this bit on stage and people don't believe, people think i'm making it up. i'm like bill cosby has a lot of rape allegations. >> reporter: for whatever reason, the comments spread like wild-fire on social media. more and more women whose stories went back years started coming forward. >> how many of you believe you were drugged by bill cosby? >> how many of you believe bill cosby raped you? >> reporter: women accused the comedian of everything from harassment, to sexual assault to rape. back in 2015, i interviewed 27 of them. lili bernard. >> and the next memory, i'm on the floor, on the carpet. and i remember the -- the sensation of the carpet -- against the flesh of my back like velcro, like this.

and it hurt and i couldn't move because of the drugs. and i remember him on top of me. >> reporter: many of these women said they had something in common: cosby took advantage of them when they were young and vulnerable. it was too late for most of them to have their day in court the statute of limitations had run out. some expressed frustration cosby had never been prosecuted. heidi thomas. >> and see if we can maybe start to address&-- an epidemic crime. >> my name's kevin steele... >> reporter: a few months after that interview, a new d.a. was elected in montgomery county, pennsylvania. armed with another investigation, the d.a.'s office charged cosby in the constand case. >> today, after examination of all the evidence we are able to seek justice on behalf of the victim..." >> reporter: in december of 2015, bill cosby was arraigned on three counts of aggravated indecent assault. >> mr. cosby you want to say anything? >> reporter: cosby pleaded not guilty. >> mr. cosby how do you feel,

sir? >> reporter: with a trial looming, andrea would have to take the witness stand and relive her nightmare. >> mr. cosby, are you confident >> the defense argued that you wanted money. were you in it for money? >> reporter: when "dateline" continues. stop dancing around the pain that keeps you up again, and again. advil pm silences pain, and you sleep the whole night. advil pm

>> reporter: in june 2017, bill cosby went on trial in a courthouse outside philadelphia for sexually assaulting andrea constand 13 years earlier. >> mr. cosby, are you confident today, sir?

>> reporter: finally, it was time for andrea to tell her story to a jury. >> as well as i held myself, a part of me was nervous that i would have to, again, go through this traumatic incident that happened to me all over again. >> live through it again. >> yes. >> reporter: on the stand she recounted that night back in 2004 at cosby's home. when she finished, his defense team challenged her story, zeroing in on inconsistenices. on the sixth day of deliberating, the jury announced it was hopelessly deadlocked. >> today a pennsylania judge declared a mistrial..." >> when you heard it was a hung jury, was that devastating? >> it didn't feel complete. it didn't feel like justice. it just felt empty. >> reporter: it could have ended right there. but the d.a. had a message for

andrea and her attorneys. >> he looked at me and he said, "i'm doin' this again." >> that day? >> that day. that minute. >> reporter: andrea was determined to testify again. this wasn't just about her. it was also about cosby's other accusers. >> women came out into the public, into the media in droves saying that they had, too, been drugged and sexually assaulted. and i believe the women. i believe the women. >> reporter: and for trial number two she would have more support. the judge ruled that five women, with stories of drugging and assault similar to andrea's, could also testify. it was a big win for the prosecution. four of those women spoke to us: janice baker-kinney, lise-lotte lublin, heidi thomas and chelan lasha. >> i was like, "thank you, somebody's listening." >> and we will take this opportunity and run with it. thank you for letting us speak. >> reporter: lise-lotte lublin teaches sixth grade at a las vegas school.

she didn't tell students she'd be part of bill cosby's retrial. but then, one of them approached her. >> she wrote me a note. and she gives me the notes before i went to philadelphia. and she told me to be strong. and i never talked to her about it. she hands it over to me and i open it up. and just reading the note, i know she knows. >> reporter: on monday april 9th, trial number 2 began. >> mr. cosby how are you feeling today? >> reporter: one by one, the accusers took the stand. >> i'll tell you right now, shaking like a leaf when i first got there. i was sitting on my hands for the first part of my testimony. >> reporter: but for each woman, fear gave way to confidence. even defiance. chalan lasha locked eyes with bill cosby. >> he looked at me in that courtroom and he smiled and ch -- chuckled at me. and that's when i made the comment that i made. >> what did you say? >> now you remember me, mr. cosby, don't you? 'cause i knew he did. it's like, i'm looking at you in your eyes.

i know he remembered the day he drugged me. >> you saw -- you saw -- >> i knew it. i saw it in -- >> recognition in his eyes? >> yes. >> reporter: on the stand, heidi thomas blurted out her reason for testifying. >> and i said, "i'm here to see a serial rapist convicted." and then the courtroom was silent. and i thought, "oh, man, i'm waiting for somebody to stand up and object to this." you could hear a pin drop. >> reporter: she was right to worry. for the second trial, cosby hired a new defense team, headed by famed l.a. attorney thomas mesereau. >> i felt their strategy was one of something, if this trial took place in 1970 or '80, it would have worked. >> what was the strategy? >> victim blaming. >> smear tactics. >> complete victim blaming. >> and smear techniques. >> and it was so misogynistic. it was so victim blaming, it was so two decades ago. >> reporter: through his lawyers, cosby has denied he gave drugs or had sexual

interaction with anyone without consent. he has not been charged in connection with any allegation other than andrea's. after the accusers testified in april, it's was andrea's turn. a friend was there for support. angela rose founded a survivor advocacy group called 'pave.' >> we had to wait in a small little hallway before we went into the court and i remember being in that hallway and us just holding hands and just saying a prayer for justice. and i just told her, "you can do this." >> reporter: for the second time in less than a year, andrea constand took the stand and described that night at cosby's home. as she spoke, she focused on the 12 people who most needed to hear her. >> i connected with the jury. i let them feel what i had gone through. and i tried to be as authentic as possible, as relaxed as possible. >> reporter: when she finished telling her story, cosby's

lawyers went after her. >> the defense painted a picture, andrea, of you giving inconsistent statements to different police agencies, saying different things at different times. >> well, that's fair. and understandably so. going through that kind of traumatic situation is very difficult. and the one thing that i've remained consistent of is what he did to me that night. it will never go away. it's stuck in my brain for the rest of my life. >> your story on that has never changed. >> no. >> reporter: the defense argued that andrea was a con artist who preyed on a lonely man. >> that was despicable. that's not true. i'm not a con artist. bill cosby is a con artist. for years and years and decades, he preyed upon young women. and he's a true con artist himself.

>> the defense argued that you wanted money, were you in it for money?" >> no. this has never been about money. this has been about justice i wasn't talking money. i was talking police and justice. >> reporter: but it was also about a hollywood icon. twelve men and women were now being asked to throw that image away and redefine the man, as a criminal. >> i had my fist clenched and i >> i had my fist clenched and i was holding my breath. >> reporter: after all these years a judgment at last. >> there was a gasp in the audience. >> i think i was shaking. >> i was just overcome. how do you keep feeling your best all summer long? start with supporting your gut health. only activia has billions of our live and active probiotics. so, let's make this the summer of loving your gut.

>> reporter: 13 years after she came forward, andrea constand was still waiting for justice. but as the jury in bill cosby's retrial deliberated, she made

>> reporter: 13 years after she came forward, andrea constand was still waiting for justice. but as the jury in bill cosby's retrial deliberated, she made her peace. >> i tried to just keep my expectations -- to just not be affected either way. that, regardless, the jury was going to deliver a verdict and to just be okay with that. >> reporter: the other women who testified were more tense. >> i didn't realize for how long i was -- had my fist clenched, and i was holding my breath. >> you all feel that way? >> holding our breath, absolutely -- >> oh, my. yeah. >> reporter: midway through the second day of deliberations, this jury had what the first did not: a verdict. for andrea constand, the long wait was over. >> guilty. guilty. guilty. i -- i was just overcome. >> reporter: the jury found bill cosby guilty of three counts of aggravated indecent assault. america's dad was now a convicted felon. >> i was so happy for her. and for the other women. just for -- you know, because i thought not only was she doing

this for herself, i knew all along that it was bigger than just her. >> reporter: the enormity of the verdict played out inside the courthouse, as accusers who'd attended the trial broke down. as for these four, they'd all returned home by that time their phones blowing up with the news. >> i said, "he's guilty, he's gui -- we did it, we did it!" >> and i walked in the door and my husband just walked out to me, i looked at him and i said, "we did it." >> we did it -- >> we beat goliath. >> we did it. we beat goliath. >> reporter: but the drama inside the courtroom wasn't over. immediately after the verdict, prosecutor kevin steele told the judge that cosby was a flight risk with his own airplane. andrea's attorney watched as cosby shot up from his chair in a flash of anger.

and he yelled -- you know, "he doesn't have an airplane, you a-hole. i'm sick of you." and, i mean, there was a gasp in the audience. everybody was like, "oh, my god." i thought, "there he is. now, everybody sees what this man is." >> bill cosby. >> bill cosby. >> reporter: cosby is free on bail until his sentencing this september. the 80-year-old faces up to 30 years in prison. his defense team declined comment for this report. but right after the verdict, attorney thomas mesereau spoke to reporters. >> we don't think mr. cosby is guilty of anything. and the fight is not over. thank you. >> are you going to appeal? >> yes, yes very strongly. >> reporter: cosby's wife, camille, issued her own statement. she condemned the trial as ..".mob justice, not real justice." but these four witnesses say camille cosby's voice can't drown out the jury's verdict.
