brynn gingras, thanks so much. >> joining us, former u.s. attorney harry lipman and cnn political analyst mark preston. harry, i want to start with the news of the day which is the president of the united states again alleging this grand criminal conspiracy. he's not just giving it a funny nickname, spy gate, which they will recognize from the past. he's suggesting that there were criminals in the government trying to undermine his campaign and that's an extraordinary charge, harry. >> stunning and it's not just some. he's basically called the fbi and doj a criminal enterprise. on this spy claim, it fails for two really fundamental reasons. the first is that professor helper is not an fbi agent who has somehow been embedded. he's a confidential informant that they've gone to over the years and no different -- no different, john, than if there's a bank robbery and a cop goes to the people on the street who he's used to working with, what do you know? what's going on? >> second, of course, there is no evidence whatsoever of any kind of politic

our brynn gingras is live outside the courthouse in new york.significant hearing for this case? >> reporter: it's just like you said, poppy. it's a status hearing. this is so all parties involved can give an update to the judge on all of those documents and other items that were taken during that fbi raid of michael cohen's home and his office and his hotel room last month. so basically, you said there a million items are going to be handed over to the government according to the special, who is responsible for sifting through those to determine if there is something between michael cohen. the paperwork filed prior to the hearing that there are other documents and found more than 250 of those items are considered rather attorney-client privilege. the government will not be able to look at those however there are hundreds of thousands of other items that the government will be able to look at and it's just the beginning. the special master noted had her documents and her filings that she is going to be receiving more production of items taken fro

our brynn gingras has more. >> reporter: harvey weinstein in handcuffs walking in to court today facingcharges. they stem from the accounts of two women including an aspiring actress who first spoke out in a new yorker article alleging weinstein forced theory perform oral sex on him at his office in 2004. tonight weinstein is out of jail after posting a $1 million cash bail. but not before surrendering his passport, being forced to wear a monitoring device 24/7 and traveling only between new york and connecticut. the criminal charges are the first to be filed against weinstein after dozens of women including several a-list actresses made various sexual misconduct accusations. among them, gwyneth paltrow. >> we had one instance in a hotel room where he made a pass at me and then i really kind of stood up to him. >> reporter: angelina jolie, selma hayek, lupita nyong'o, ashley judd. >> i fought and he ignored. >> reporter: rose mcgowan, one of the first to publicly accuse weinstein of rape. >> we got you. yeah. to see him in cuffs on the way out, whether he smiled or not, that is a very g

let's go straight to brynn gingras who has all the details and is outside of the court.ell us? >> reporter: yeah, we actually had harvey weinstein walk right past us in handcuffs heading into court. from the people we have inside the courtroom right now, we know the proceedings have not started as of yet. his lawyer has walked in and he's holding harvey weinstein's passport. that's likely part of the package that weinstein will receive when these court proceedings will continue, meaning he'll likely have to turn that passport in. we also are expecting to hear from ben bratman after these proceedings. harvey weinstein has denied allegations against him from the very beginning and we'll see what he has to say after the proceedings. but yes, he is going to be charged with several charges, including rape. this involves two separate women who filed complaints with the nypd. again, we are expecting more charges in the future. as we know, the grand jury has convened and continues to hear testimony from at least four women in this case, poppy. >> okay, thank you very much as we

brynn lays it out. the hypocrisy of this moment is impossible to miss.ould take a long time to list out all of the ways that eric schneiderman was championing throughout his career women's causes and was chief among those going after harvey weinstein. >> i remember sitting in his office when he was holding a press conference about this a couple of months ago, filing a lawsuit against harvey and bob weinstein and the weinstein company, trying to ensure there would be a victims fund so some of his victims are compensated. trying to make sure the executives involved would not be in the future of the company. all of that work continues. this is obviously a blow for that effort and the hypocrisy is absolutely suffocating. i think he knows that. maybe that's one of the reasons why it took three hours from the story to the resignation. when do you see that in politics? >> never or maybe not often enough if i look on capitol hill at this very moment. chris, the president's family and his allies, they didn't -- speaking of quick response, didn't wait a moment to

. >> brynn, thank you.din, if there are phone conversations recorded between michael cohen and donald trump, and you saw his tweet michael avenatti said, nixon 2.0. seems to be suggesting that there may be these kinds of taped conversations potentially that could be explosive. >> it depends on what's on the tapes and what they relate to, of course. so there are two lawsuits going on here. one is avenatti's stormy daniels i want deposition testimony of the president because it relates to my achievement's nondisclosure agreement. if those tapes bear on that, and when the freeze on that case is lifted, presumably michael avenatti will get to ask the president what is on those tapes. so there's a forum for which those can be released. then there's the southern district of new york case, which if there is evidence of criminal where wrongdoing, the judge is not going to release those to michael avenatti. that's when they will come out in the course of that, you know, either indictment or trial. so michael avenatt

brynn gingras is here with the reporting. stunning. >> stunning on so many levels. the hypocrisy, the political angle, so much going on here. it is really a tremendous fall from grace for a rising politician. and a man who really was a champion for women during the me too movement. this is a man who filed an enormous lawsuit against harvey weinstein and then separately reached a $25 million settlement for students of the now defunct trump university. here's the story. two of the women spoke on the record to "the new yorker." two other women wanted to remain anonymous. according to "the new yorker," three of the women had romantic relations with the attorney general but none consented to physical abuse in their relationships. manning barish describes the abuse like this. all of a sudden, he slapped me, open handed and with great force across the face, landing the blow on to my ear. he then used his body weight to hold me down, and he began to choke me. the choking was very hard, it was really bad, i kicked, and every fiber i felt i was being beaten by a man. now bari
