joy, an understanding that has been overdue for many years just how desperately and repeatedly britney spearshis came to be around spears and the fact that now individuals who initially helped to set it up because they thought it was in her interest are pulling back that support. you correctly pointed out the much larger pop -- pop elimination -- pop elimination -- population affected by this. a lot of situations that are ripe for exploitation and abuse. >> that's the thing hard to get our head around. britney spears is young, rich and famous. how on earth could something, you and i talked about this offline, has happened to other people who are maybe elderly or disables which is horrible enough because they don't have her money and clout, how did this happen to her? >> well in some ways britney spears fame and wealth make her a-typical. you know, she was, i think was placed in a state of emotional distress that's very understandable because she was hounded by the paparazzi everywhere. she had very little space in her life to just live. and the fame and the money also meant that her family by

this was the development now britney spears can hire her own attorney. ore do we know about the the development, and what stands out to you about this case? >> yamiche, obviously what we're learning today is this lawyer of spears' own choosing, mathew rosengard, a former federal prosecutor and prominent l.a. attorney, is going to be able to represent her. why that's significant is because, as we've laid out in the recent investigative report, in "the new yorker," britney spears has been trying to secure her own counsel of her own choosing for years. we document how again and again, essentially from the inception to have the conservatorship, she was setting clandestine meetings with contacts who might give her phones she could then use to call lawyers, including sophisticated plans where she would meet a contact in a hotel steam room to get a zip locked bag with a cell phone in it. couple of things from that, one, hiring her own counsel is a significant step and a long-time coming. two, those kinds of plans, that level of sophistication, reminds us this is

there is an element of sincere concern about britney spears' wellbeing.onservatorship was put into place at a time when she appeared to be under distress, behaving erratically, why she was, by her own admission, letting people into her life that might not be a positive influence. that said, what you also see when you g inside of those rooms where this plot to place her in this extremely restrictive legal structure was hatched, is that there was an element of this that was motivated by a family locked in a power struggle and that had been financially dependent on her for a long time and that is in some ways distinctive to britney spears' level of fame and wealth but in other respects, is symptomatic of the wider ways in which this particular kind of legal structure, particularly this variety of conservatorship, which is quite extreme, can be vulnerable to abuse. yamiche: jonathan, ronan talked about this being an extreme case. she testified last month that she also didn't know she could get out of this, didn't know she could petition to get out of the cons

i do want to ask you about the relationship between britney spears and her father jamie spears. >> so by all accounts all the people we spoke to, they have never had a great relationship. the sort of -- britney's mother lynn writes had her memoir that jamie was wrestling with alcoholism for much of their childhood. what we heard from our sources was that jamie came in and took charge of the conservatorship in part because he was not afraid of assuming this control, of having her be extremely mad at him. he was not afraid to use the primary weapon that it seems that they had together to cooperate, which is to say do this or you will not have access to see your children. >> and you detail how devastating that was, how effective that was of a cudgel in a way. if britney spears and her father have this so-called strained relationship, we did reach out for some comment, we didn't receive one, but with this strained relationship, why then was he one of the people appointed to her conser conservatorship? >> well, that's something that a lot of people around the conservatorship's creati

and a major court victory for britney spears. the judge permits her to hire her own lawyer as she battles to end the court-ordered conservatorship. joining me now cnn's senior political analyst john avlon and ron brownstein -- i should say cnn analyst, plural. gentlemen, good evening to you. thank you so much for joining. john, let's talk about this. this is frightening. the country's top military officer reportedly preparing to stop the then president from attempting a coup. carol leonnig, phillip rucker, they write about this. that the chairman of the joint chiefs mark milley, and i quote, "they may try but they're not going to f-ing succeed, he told them. you can't do this without the military. you can't do this without the cia and the fbi. we are the guys with the guns." now, we knew it was chaotic. but according to this, trump would stop at nothing, nothing to stay in power. should we be surprised? i don't know. but this just seems like it was beyond. >> i think we should be surprised because this is objectively shocking. th

but along that line, we're fascinated to hear from britney spears herself.f how is she doing? jeff, this was supposed to be a temporary conservatorship. this was done in 2008. the idea was as with most conservatorships, let's put somebody in place to govern your finances or your own person, literally what goes in her body. she's not allowed to drink coffee or remove an iud. she is not allowed to figure out what she does to her own body. but this is supposed to be a temporary move back in 2008. the fact she is now hired what we know a bulldog of a litigator he is, matthew rosenguard, it bodes well for her. she has somebody that can go to court and now heard yesterday in court from her new lawyer that he's going to move to terminate this conservatorship. he's going go to an evidentiary hearing and going to present evidence to the court that she has been "restored to the capacity to be able to live her own life." >> so what about spears' allegations against her father? i mean, you know, what kind of investigation could could he face? >> you can look at how did

so, britney spears has two conservators of her $60 million estate, bessamer trust, this bank, and herhe also has a conservator of the person that oversees her medical and day-to-day affairs, and that woman's name is jody montgomery. well, bessemer trust, oddly, the judge just signed the order to make bessemer trust official a little over 24 hours ago, then they said, no, no, no, we don't want to be part of this anymore. we thought britney wanted us. we thought the conservatorship was voluntary, which i don't really know how they thought that a court-appointed conservatorship that has a free britney movement was voluntary, but that's what they said. remember, britney said last week during her bombshell testimony in the los angeles county superior court that she was forced on lithium, forced to perform, that she has to change and undress in front of people, that she's not allowed to ride in the car with her boyfriend, has no cash, no credit cards, has to ask someone to get her nails done, her hair done, and she can't take her iud out to start a family. so that is why bessemer trust says

britney spears is one step closer to potentially taking back control of her life. her lawyer wasting no time, matthew was in court on behalf of spears. >> we feel today was a big step in the interest of justice. >> reporter: judge penny acre cement -- accepted the resignation of a wealth management firm and court appointed conserve tore of her $60 million estate. spears was emotional sobbing as she spoke for about 20 minutes saying she wants to get her father jamie spears removed from the arrangement and charged saying quote if this isn't abuse, i don't know what is. she added i thought they were trying to kill me. her new hear echoing some of her sentiments. >> pursuant we will be moving promptly and aaggressively for his removal. the question remains why is he involved. he should step down voluntarily as that is in the best interest of britney spears. >> reporter: the last time spears spoke in court about three weeks ago she railed against the conservatorship calling it abusive, demoralizing and embarrassing. she also claimed she was forced to perform, take medic
