there have been some new developments, as you know, alan weisselberg, the cfo for the trump organizationved in facilitating the payment for mr. cohen, he has pled guilty. while he agreed to testify against the trump organization, he has not agreed to cooperate against mr. trump himself. after the trial -- there was a trial against the organization and it was found to have been involved in tax violations. mr. weisselberg testified about that. it may be mr. weisselberg, who now sits in jail, may have had different thoughts. sometimes people who are incarcerated may change their minds about their willingness to cooperate. we don't know. it's something to look about and look forward to as to whether or not this grand jury comes forward with charges because there is sufficient evidence and what that new evidence may be. >> what are you looking for in that election interference case in georgia? >> what interests me the very most and what very few people have paid attention to, that is when miss willis, the d.a. in atlanta, appeared to the court and asked the findings of her special grand jury
