joining me right now is gloria allred, the attorney who is representing several of epstein's allegedch for being here. >> thank you. i know that you spoke with several of the alleged victims. what was their gut reaction to this news? >> well, shock, devastation, feeling sick. they have many, many questions. how could this have happened, and what's going to happen to me in my fight for justice? it was a pretty emotional response? >> very, very emotional. i tried to get ahold of them so that i could share that with them before they saw it on the news. i will say i saw jeffrey epstein recently in court when i was in new york about ten days ago when he was brought in for a hearing, and afterwards i said it's never too late. still it's not too late to seek justice, if you are a victim of mr. epstein and i will say today, again, it is not too late to seek justice. obviously he cannot be prosecuted anymore because he's no longer alive. however, there is still options in the civil justice system for persons who are victims of jeffrey epstein, and there is -- and we are going to continue our

this is attorney gloria allred speaking outside the courthouse. >> it took a lot of courage for them to write thee statements in a have their voice heard. i really commend the for being here because jeffrey epstein's death, whether was it suicide or murder, does not and their fight for j justice. it doeoes not end ththere feelig that they were manipulated and victimized and that they were child victims. they spoke truth to powewer. they spoke truth to what happened to them. amy: "the washington post" is reporting attorney general william barr is planning a $30,000 holiday party at the trump international hotel in washington, d.c. the event is reportedly not an official justice department party and will be paid for directly by barr. critics say that although the event would not be a legal violation, it skirts an ethical line. maryland and the district of columbia previously argued in a lawsuit foreign governments and other entities patronize the trump hotel in order to curry favor with the president,, putting other businesses at a disadvantage -- a violation of the emoluments clause.

attorney gloria allred, who represents a number of the accusers, applauded th resolve. >> jeffrey etein's death, whether it was a suicide or murder, does not end the case, does not end their fight for justice. it does not end their feeling that they were manipulated, victimized and that they were child victims of mr. epstein. so today, they spoke truth to power, they spoke truth to what happened to them. >> nawaz: renae merle has been covering the story for the washington post and joins us from new york. >> welcome to the news hour, rene. afteyou monitored the court room precedings all day to dayde ribe what you saw and heard from the women today. >> well, what i really saw was a lot of emotion. yes, the victims were angthat epstein has evaded justice, in their eyes, bygommitt suicide. there was also a lot of tears as people explained how they were affected by his abuse.ms this slike a turning point for them. yes, he wasn't, epstein wasn't in the room but they were there w gether and really talking about hois impacted them. it was very personal and emotional scene. >> give me a sense of t

here's the lawyer representing some of them, gloria allred. whether it was suicide or murder, does not end the case. does not end their fight forjustice. it does not end their feeling that they were manipulated and victimised. and that they were child victims. we're joined now from outside the court by our correspondent chris buckler. difficult for some of these women to speak in public givenjeffrey epstein is dead what they hope to get from this court process now?m some ways they came here to be heard and that was the most important thing for them today. they wanted to be seen and to be heard and to really face jeffrey epstein polymer crimes and say that they were victims of them. even if they could not face an inside court. the judge made a point of saying this is relatively unusual, the fact that a trial cannot go ahead now but the criminal case should be wrapped up but that he wanted to hear from the victims and give them that opportunity and when he invited them to speak a number of them stood up inside the courtroom. there was a long lin

they're doing -- we also heard today from the attorneys for some of these victims, who said -- gloria allred specifically said i'm getting calls every single day at night, on weekends, on holidays, that they are pursuing this vigorously. david boyes, who's another one of the attorneys for some of these alleged victims, he said he thinks there's a very good case against ghislaine maxwell. a lot of pressure being put on prosecutors in the southern district of new york to move that process forward in terms of charging some of these co-conspirators. >> so the interesting part about this is these stories are all different. they're all individual people's stories. is there new material fundamentally that we learned from this testimony today and does it carry weight? in other words, we sort of tried to decide, is this testimony or not because it was in a court. there's no case against anybody at the moment. >> sure. in terms of that, the judge did say to lawyers and accusers be careful what you say here because this is going into a court record, this is something that could then be used in some kin

i think joe biden is still going to be the front runner when allr of the polls shake out. >> tucker:iden's performance though, last night, really did raise, i think, questions about his competence as a candidate. >> well, he did better -- if you're a democratic voter, okay, he did better in this debate than he did the previous debate. and the fact that he is the front runner and was able to survive relatively well on stage, no one is goingat to write any big celebration for joe biden yet but i think he was able to right the ship a little bit and i think the top tier is still the top tier. >> tucker: the hostility toward biden from the left, and biden is a member of the left, i mean, biden, the issues, really isn't different from any of the other candidate standing up there, but they don't trust him and they don't like him and they are sniping at him pretty relentlessly. i don't think i'm imagining that, am i? >> you are not. in fact, even mayor de blasio had the gall to basically go. after joe biden the entire time but why did he do with that? if you are in a debate, tactically, you

and gloria allred, an attorney for several of the victims says she spoke about this with geoffrey bermanistrict of new york. >> very concerned that obviously there was mention of the co-conspirators in the original indictment of mr. epstein. what was going to happen to that? and are they really going to continue the investigation. he assured me that this is a serious investigation. it's going to continue, and, you know, it is always possible -- it is possible that there will be another indictment. >> some of the women cited for helping especially steam like former girlfriend and long time associate ghislaine maxwell have not made any public comments since his arrest two months ago. maxwell has denied any wrongdoing and has not been criminally charged. however, the times is also reporting some of these women's may have been victims themselves. investigations into epstein's death remain ongoing as well. "the beat" will stay on this story. that's going to do it for me. i'm chris jansing. "hardball" will chris matthews is up next. >>> heading into the back stretch. let's play "hardball." goo

gloria allred represents the accusers. >> epstein's death, whether it was a suicide or murder, does not end the case. it does not end their fight for justice. >> epstein's attorneys say they also want answers after questioning the medical examiner's finding that epstein died by hanging himself. they say the report is inadequate. they believe the broken bones in epstein's neck are more consistent with assault and homicide. adriana? >> in the next hour we will talk with epstein accuser shawntae davies about the claims she made in court and what it was like hearing the other women's stories. >>> the ceo of juul, the top-selling e-cigarette company, is responding to the growing number of breathing cases of people who vape. they're looking into 200 possible cases of severe lung diseases that may be tied to the use of e-cigarettes. the cases are reported now in at least 22 states. in his first broadcast interview as juul lab ceo, kevin burns talks to us about his concerns. >> it seems like every day we get a new report from some health department around the country saying that someone has dis

gloria allred calling for even more accusers to come forward. >> it is not too late to help in the processrter: law enforcement sources say several accusers have come forward in new mexico where epstein owns a sprawling ranch. according to a new report published in the "new york times," not verified by nbc news, epstein wanted to use the ranch for controlled breeding, using his dna to improve humanity citing two award winning scientists and an adviser to large companies and wealthy individuals the article reports epstein surrounded himself with leading scientists and would tell them he wanted to have 20 women impregnated at a time on the ranch. there's no evidence epstein ever set his plan into motion and his attorneys did not respond to our request for comment. this morning we also now know epstein was served with legal documents in connection to an anticipated civil lawsuit by makeup artist jennifer aroez, a day or two before he was injured in jail. she told savannah that epstein assaulted her when she was 15. >> what would you say to those who say a civil suit, lawyers, this is about ge
