we will depose madeline cuomo and andrew cuomo and members of this group.us that andrew cuomo had a group of advisers who were doing everything that they could to try to beat back the women who were coming forward, and this was just part of the campaign. no one took action without it being sanctioned and being directed by then governor and former governor and his inner circle. >> i will say, having seen a lot of online activity and mobs going after people, especially women who make accusations against powerful men. it really makes you wonder how much, if any of it is organic versus how much of it is being pushed by these high profile men? >> well, i think that's a really key point here. obviously, in terms of charlotte bennett's case, this is a watershed moment. we now have peeked behind the screen and see what actually happened. but as someone who represents victims of sexual violence and sexual harassment, this is what everyone fears if they come forward. and now we have the most concrete record of exactly what happens. 4,000 texts from madeline and these

a spokesman for andrew cuomo says, quote, the governor does not personally have nor does he follow socialctly or indirectly involved in these efforts saying he's not helback publicly, that's a spokesman for andrew cuomo. and madeline cuomo responded to the extent i invokedis name it was felt appreciated but not in my brother's direction or his knowledge. to be clear, i acted on my own with the people of wdny, that's the organization. and without my brother's involvement anyway. that, of course, is contradicted by the message in the probe. we're going to talk to debra katz, the attorney, about the shocking to "the new york times." with "the lead with jake tapper." >>> could the popular weight loss drug wegovy are more benefits? we'll tell you what they are. >>> plus, talk about a catch, a $1.1 million catch. this is it here. we're going to tell you what the mayor of tampa accidentally reeled in. how white do you think your teeth really are? let's try the tissue test. ooof, still yellow. whitening toothpaste can only do so much. there's toothpaste white, and there's crest 3d whitestrips whi

we saw this in andrew cuomo. we see it in george santos. there are pieces of evidence that suggest that is true. if we look at this collectively, there is a slight effect for modern scandals where they do not have negative impacts on politicians that they used to, so there is a minor effect, but it depends on which level of government you look at. by virtue of being able to look at scandals from the 1970's to the present at every level of government, we can get a clearer sense of this. one thing we find is scandals used to be more problematic before than they are now. in a pre-polarized area -- era during the 1970's following watergate, members of congress were very likely to lose their seats if they were involved in scandals. but that effect dissipates over time. we see a strange effect to where members of the executive branch are more likely to be hit negatively by scandals during the 1990's and the trump era, so there is a sort of change in effect, but it depends on who you are, so those things are meaningful in terms of how we assess wh

concession, the big guy did have some sort of business deals but as one deputy probably quoted, the j andrew cuomodoes not show this, but as you can see, he doesn't have to benefit. he takes action directly benefiting and enriching his family. gregg jarrett will explain. the foreign money went to hunter and other family members and we all need to move along, that is what they are telling us, well, they have not had foreign adversaries send cash. none of that has happened to you? oh, i can't believe it. and often from the top geopolitical foes, while they are addicted to crack cocaine and hookers and having no experience in the areas with which they are working. and at one point his drug use was so bad, he was practically toothless, that happens to crack addicts, we are supposed to believe that unlike most, hunter was a highly functioning crack addict and that he actually earned tens of millions of dollars without any experience, energy, oil and gas, now, remember, he is also reportedly very stupid and well, i didn't say it, but you look at the 1023 form it sides the oil giant calling him dumb and

clear in may in two cases where they threw out convictions against cro cronies former governor andrew cuomo. defraud out of money or property, you know, tangible assets. to the extent that congress has tried to expand that into this idea fraud that creates deceptive practices. statutes on the books now are vague and otherwise congress hasn't criminalized that i think what you have is the case comes down to can he prove that trump believed the things that he was saying notwithstanding all the evidence to the contrary even if you can get over that hurdle which is daunting, he has extravagantly stretched the statutes in order to try to capture this behavior. that's because this is really a proxy for what should have been a political impeachment process. they are leaving to the criminal justice system the failure of congress to carry out a successful impeachment. >> bret: jonathan, you go through this and been reading through the pages here what's not here folks dealing with the january 6th rioters. remember some 1100 people have been charged with that -- in relation to that rig riot on tht day
