ellis and ms. powell were purveyors of the falsehoods of him winning, and they have backed down and plead guilty, and mr. chesebro was a architect of the legal theory, and he has backed down, and so it is pulling the rug out from under donald trump's defense, and this is very, very ominous for him as a state and federal criminal defendant and the same for giuliani. >> norm eisen, thank you so much for jumping on, and jessica schneider, and nick valencia for the great reporting, and what this means and where it is going, but it is looking like dominos for sure. and we go to capitol hill with more news >>> now we are down to seven people, seven candidates in the speaker race, and the house republicans are voting behind closed doors trying to pick a new speaker, and now, looking at the latest to drop out is alabama's gary palmer withdrawing his name from consideration moments ago. manu raju spoke to him moments ago. >> reporter: how is this whole episode reflecting on the house gop? >> poorly. very, v

we can speak to ellie price. what have we been hearing today?— ellie price.ellie price. what have we been hearin: toda ? , ., ., hearing today? this morning, we have been hearing — hearing today? this morning, we have been hearing from _ hearing today? this morning, we have been hearing from gus _ hearing today? this morning, we have been hearing from gus o'donnell, - hearing today? this morning, we have been hearing from gus o'donnell, the| been hearing from gus o'donnell, the former top civil servant, if you like. it is important to say he was not the top civil servant during the pandemic, but i think his expertise is being called on this morning. a bit of context on how cabinet here, during a major crisis, how decisions should be made. it was interesting he was referring to his time when he was basically at the top table, helping politicians make decisions. bearing in mind he was there during the tony blair and gordon brown era, in the 2010s, and well into the david cameron time. he said there were obviously disagreements at that time during senior politic

jenna ellis' plea deal came out of nowhere. what types of conversations do you think are happening behind the scenes? >> part of what you're seeing here is that the defendants are being advised about their lawyers if they want to cooperate, they need do it sooner rather than later or you lose your bargaining chip with the prosecutors. because if you wait until the end, they sort of have everything they need. as of right now, the prosecutors might be more willing to engage with you on making those types of deals if you can offer them something they don't already know or you can testify at trial, that might be something that they're worth willing to milwaukee a deal. if you wait a lot down the line at this -- many more months, you'll see fewer and fewer of those deals. for someone like mark meadows, he's trying to fight this case, get kicked to federal court, that's waiting in the wings, the appellate court won't hear that until december. you might see a stop and start with a few people rushing in now, getting their deals with pr

jenna ellis, sidney powell, and rudy giuliani.he presented herself as a constitutional scholar, which is how she would get booked on fox and other right-wing media, presenting herself as an expert. can she now claim to be essentially someone who was duped? >> well, i suppose anyone can claim that. my guess is in the recorded proffer that she provided to prosecutors, she provided a more fulsome admission of her own guilt and information that she can share with the prosecution team and to testify to at a trial. she got a good deal. she's pleading guilty to a felony, but no prison time, and so i imagine that prosecutors first listened to that proffered testimony and then assessed its value before allowing her to plead guilty to this deal. so i imagine that she has information about rudy giuliani, maybe others on the team. and one thing that make her a little different from sidney powell, who trump himself referred to as, quote, crazy, you know, jenna ellis doesn't have that same baggage. she might be a more perhaps less well known, b

jenna ellis is now saying she was merely relying on other attorneys to give her advice. but she was a grown woman, and these election lies were very obvious. and we were stating this as fact at the time on the air. these election lies were obvious to anyone with a functioning brain stem. what do you make of this? >> this may be her defense now, but let's remember, she did just plead guilty to a felony and the bottom line of all of this is, this is a bad day for donald trump. as you said, she was in the room. she is a firsthand witness. this is someone who had direct links to donald trump. we don't know yet exactly what testimony she's given the prosecutors. what evidence and communication and mails and texts me shave had. but she was in the room. so even though you think this is a day late for her to be contrite, she did plead guilty. >> so she's the fourth to flip in the georgia case. >> right. >> how does this -- how does that change the case for donald trump? >> so, i think that every time someone flips, the prosecutors, you have that chart of there going down the roa

ellis is one of the convicted in georgia. on the upper part of the chart you see others who are both convicted in dpa and doj coconspiratorteres. that puts a lot more heat on a lot more people including mark meadow tuesday cooperate in both cases and strengthens jack smith's hands in the doj trial of donald trump in march. renato, we'll bring that back up because when i say it's a lot to process i think that would be true for anyone especially if you haven't followed all these characters. but how has this worked out to now put more heat on trump in the first upcoming trial? >> well, one thing for sure he can't count on someone like jenna ellis or kenneth chesebro coming in and potentially letting him off the hook by saying they gave him legal advice, that, you know, said this was okay hoar had conversations with them that may have given comfort. instead there's a real prospect they're going to be coming in and testifying for the prosecution and painting a different picture and potentially revealing things about donald trump's

what more can you tell us about jenna ellis' guilty plea?d she plead guilty to, and what are the conditions? >> we know he's the fourth defendant to plead guilty here in fulton county. most notably the third trump attorney or former trump attorney to do so. so, the terms of her plea deal were similar to what we have seen before. we're talking about five years probation, $5,000 restitution, community service, has to write a letter of apology and most notably she has to cooperate with the prosecution and testify truthfully in all future proceedings. what was notable, though, chris, what we saw today in the courtroom that we haven't seen in any of these previous plea deals is that jenna ellis made a statement. she said she wanted to get up, wanted to address the court. the judge reminded her she is under no obligation to do so. in the emotional statement, she said that she was relying on more experienced attorneys. she said she wishes she had done her due diligence in trying to make sure the claims were true, and most notably she says if she ha

you see with jenna ellis and the agreement there. she has pled guilty. that's what cooperation means. accepting responsibilities. not merely coming in and talking, not merely admitting to certain things. it's saying what you ask. frankly, i think he is benefiting from jack smith's approach which is just to charge donald trump now and put all this later on. in a typical federal investigation you would charge the lower level people earlier on to force them to flim. because that case is focuseden on just the former president, they get the benefit of that. >> you know trump world better than just about anyone. this doesn't come in a vacuum. we have seen three others flip in the georgia case. any sense that the walls are closing in? or no? >> i think it's publicly they will say no, it's just, you know, none of this means anything, sidney powell wasn't really my attorney, neither was jenna ellis. jenna ellis was so close to trump world. you can't really even overstate how close she was. she was having direct conversations with trump, out on tv. he loved her tv

i think ellis can certainly speak to the rudy giuliani aspect of this.r, for people at home, she was the one going state to state with giuliani trying to get state electors to go for trump and to flip, and she was also standing up before people in the georgia state senate making a host of wild, baseless claims about dead voters in georgia, none of which was true and she all, but admitted today in court and that's a problem for giuliani. a query about how much of a problem it is for trump, powell and chesebro all people in the legal circle, but they all have different stories to tell and it's just a question of which one has the one that's most problematic. >> other than the three lawyer, another person, another co-conspirator has also flipped. that brings the number of defendants down to 15. could we be seeing more flip in the coming days and weeks? and could that potentially speed up a trial date? >> perhaps, but i think the issue is that chesebro and powell sort of had -- >> a speedy trial thing already. >> to start on monday. >> they had a timing issu

. >>> and a live report from ellie reed about book bans. >>> we begin tonight keeping him honest, by taking a step back, a step back from what seems like a flood of words lately that the former president has said, followed by a flood of stories about those words and subsequent outrage that one side or another has about those stories. before the whole cycle repeats itself and the latest outrage is forgotten because it's old news by then. his former strategist steve bannon had a phrase for this. he called it flooding the zone with exdecrement, though he used a different for for excrement. it never gave anyone time to take stock of what just happened. tonight we want to stop for just a moment and give something the former president said the consideration it deserves, to cut it out, if you will, of the flow or flood of daily utter ranss. i'm talking about what the former president said, the words he used, during a recent interview with a right wing outlet talking about migrants coming into america. >> nobody has any idea where these people are coming from. we know they come from prisons.

in georgia jenna ellis becoming the latest trump attorney to flip in the georgia election sub version case. she tearfully pleaded guilty to one count of aiding and abetting false statements. in new york former trump lawyer and so-called fixer michael coen took the stand in the former president's civil fraud trial, testifying against his former boss. so much to discuss. let's do that now with former federal prosecutor. so trump was there in person as coen was directly implicating him in the inflation of asset valuations. how crucial was this testimony from cohen? >> really important. the judge already found there was fraud here. ultimately part of the core of the case the ag is bringing, the attorney general is bringing to new york, it comes down to michael cohen and others testifying that the valuations were inflated, that essentially trump was giving two separate valuations. he would have them low for example when needed for tax purposes and high to lenders. and that is the core of the case for the new york ag. i don't expect that case to end up very well for trump and the trump orga

. >> reporter: in a tearful turnaround, former trump campaign lawyer jenna ellis admitted to making false statements that the 2020 presidential election was fraudulent. >> if i knew then what i know now, i would have declined to represent donald trump in these post-election challenges. >> reporter: ellis became the third attorney associated with trump to accept a plea deal and could testify against him in the future. she blamed rudy giuliani and others for pulling her into a conspiracy. >> what i did not do but should have done, your honor, was to make sure that the facts the other lawyers alleged to be true were in fact true. >> reporter: meanwhile, trump was part of a drama standoff today in a new york courtroom as michael cohen, his former fixer, sat across from him and accused trump of fraud. >> how does it feel to see donald trump again? >> heck of a reunion. >> reporter: cohen said trump directed him to balloon his net worth and inflate the value of his properties, including trump park avenue and trump world tower, testifying that he was tasked by mr. trump to increase the total ass

trump attorney jenna ellis now cooperating with prosecutors. what could this mean for the former president's legal case when we come back. >>> the battle for house speaker is moving back into overdrive. overdrive, neutral. it's hard to tell. it sort of switches at times like we're grinding gears. can though the republicans' latest pick get to the finish line? congressman tom emmer of minnesota won the party's nomination this afternoon but the gop whip now has to nail down the 217 votes needed to win on the house floor. emmer, of course, is the republicans' third nominee. >> this as the house marks three weeks with no leader following the ouster of former speaker, kevin mccarthy. manu, some members are outright opposed to emmer saying that he's not conservative enough. >> there are major concerns that his bid will collapse. he is behind closed doors trying to alleviate concerns. they had a vote behind closed doors where republicans had to say where they would come down. 26 republicans indicated they are not in favor of them. he can only afford t

ellis is the fourth co-defendant of mr. trump to plead guilty. she tearfully told the judge she felt deep remorse for her actions. >> what i did not do but should have done, your honor, was to make sure that the facts the other lawyers alleged to be true were in fact true. in the frenetic pace of attempting to raise challenges to the election in several states, including georgia, i failed to do my due diligence. >> ellis will have to serve five years of probation, pay $5,000 in fines and do 100 hours of community service. she'll also have to write an apology letter to the people of georgia and testify in other trials related to her case. >>> another setback for mr. trump, his former lawyer testified against him in a new york courtroom today. michael cohen was trump's personal lawyer and longtime ally. he's a key witness in the fraud trial surrounding trump's businesses. cohen told the court that mr. trump asked him -- tasked him with inflating trump's assets to make his net worth seem higher than it was. mr. trump was visibly angry, and at times

ellie joins me now. ellie, i'm so glad you're here today.ou can take a step closer since we're in front of the camera. when i saw you in the room today, you were in the room with president biden, our viewers know you. what did it mean to you to have the u.s. president here speaking with you? >> well, i felt like any other israeli in the country. we had the worst two weeks of our lifetimes. i've been living here my whole life more or less, seeing the worst disaster as a first responder, as a medic in united hatzalah, which is an all volunteer organization. if you put all 35 years, it's nothing compared to what we saw in one day. and all of a sudden, the most powerful person in the world, the president of the united states, comes into israel just to show his love and support. i felt i couldn't feel better. unfortunately, the stuff that i saw and everything we saw was so bad we will never forget it. but he uplifted -- literally he uplifted the spirits in this country. >> yeah. >> and it meant a lot to me and to all the first responders and of c

next up, ellie.

in august, ellis didn't appear to show any regret for her behavior.ng from ear to ear as she posed for her mugshot. but she is singing a very different tune. >> i think my responsibilities as a lawyer very seriously and i am a person of sound moral individual -- and all of my dealings. in the wake of the 2020 presidential election, i believe that challenging the results on behalf of president trump should be pursued in a just way. if i knew what i know now, i would've declined to represent donald trump in these postelection challenges. i look back on this whole experience with deep remorse. >> wow. as part of their deals, powell, chesbrough, and a list of all promise not to testify in future trials against their codefendants and that means trouble for, yes, donald trump, the alleged ringmaster of this entire election scheme circus. to witnesses who actually plotted and carried out key aspects of the ex presidents legal strategies -- -- in his desperate attempts to cling on to power. from another defendant last month, this guy, and a number of cooperat

. >> for weeks, attorney jenna ellis furiously defended then president donald trump, as he falsely claimed the 2020 election was rigged. today, she sobbed as she told a judge she was wrong. >> if i need what i know now, i would have to climb to represent donald trump and these postcolonial adjusts. >> in a georgia courtroom, she pleaded guilty to a felony for helping fuel lies about thousands of dead people casting votes in 2020. >> i failed to do mount hood village. and >> smiling for her mugshot just two months ago, now the fourth codefendant to flip and fulton county's sprawling election interference case against the former president and more than a dozen others. mr. trump has pleaded not guilty, arguing he's been targeted by democratic prosecutors because he's that republican front runner. he was back in a manhattan courtroom today, facing the states star witness, his former fixer attorney, michael cohen. >> this is about accountability, plain and simple. >> raise your right hand? >> it was cohen's congressional testimony that jump-started that new york case, were his former boss now s

i think jenna ellis is a prime target, but there may be others. there's other stuff in the background. mark meadows and his removal to federal court, whether that will be successful. but it does seem like, as david kelly says, the dominos are approximately falling. there's a lot of wind in the prosecution's sails. >> yeah, and there's many analogies people make. we've seen them. they have legal details in the ballpark, some that are fictionalized. i think the scenes that many people remember from films is the so-called loyalty, omerta. when it starts to break, it's one part self-interest, rational, legal. how does this affect me? people can make decisions in their lives. part of it is often emotional. people are shocked, hurt, even angry that the group that they thought they were all sharing loyalty with has had people start to turn. i know you're a law professor and not necessarily a deep student of human psychology and therapy, but it's relevant, i would argue. i'm curious if you could give us any of your view of how someone like ms. ellis, who

and jenna ellis, unlike sydney powell and kenneth chesebro, jenna ellis's plea, she specifically promisedion to the dea. that includes, it's stated on the record, more interviews, providing documents. she will continue to meet with prosecutors, so, you know, if she's providing emails and continuing to help the dea as they build their case, that could be very damning for rudy giuliani. i think as to donald trump, it's a bit of a mixed bag. on the one hand, it is significant that you have one of donald trump's lawyers acknowledging now that the voter fraud claims that they made are false, that they were false. so, having one of them do that -- is significant. that said, i think the same story that she is telling about, well, i just believed rudy on the evidence of election fraud and i relied on his experience. well, that's what donald trump is going to say, right? he's going to sing that same tune. so, i think this story doesn't necessarily help advance the ball against donald trump. but again, he's fully promising to cooperate, so expect fani willis and her prosecutors to really work with

ellie, we canjust it's a bit left this afternoon.is resuming, so let us have a listen and see what is happening. a... which was something i agreed with. you mr cummings, were the person who denigrated women, you denigrated helen mcnamara and you sent that misogynistic message about her. did you not? her. did ou not? ., ., , her. did ounot? ., ., , ., did you not? no, that is not correct- _ did you not? no, that is not correct- i — did you not? no, that is not correct. i was _ did you not? no, that is not correct. i was not _ did you not? no, that is not i correct. i was not misogynistic i was much rude rear about men than i was much rude rear about men than i was about helen, i agree that my language is deplorable, but as you see for yourself i diblowed the same or worse language about the prime minister, secretary of state and other people. —— deployed. if you want to look at how we ran thing, unlike whitehall, i had two young women at my deputy, i hired young women at my deputy, i hired young women in the sign team, for vote leave
