attorney here, jeffrey berman is going to take the podium. by his side will be the fbi, the head of the fbi new york field office and the prosecutors that have been investigating this for quite some time. and really what we learned today in this 14-page indictment was this network that epstein had set up, a network of underage girls that he recruited, that he used other girls to recruit. some as young as 14. we learned in this indictment that he had employees, associates, at least three employees, who would help him arrange these meetings, these encounters with some of these underage girls in florida and here at his upper east side mansion. all of this alleged in this 14-page indictment took place between 2002 and 2005. a lot of questions are going to be asked as to why finally now did this southern district of new york decide to go ahead and pursue this case. other questions are going to be asked as to why he was arrested on saturday. we know that he wasn't supposed to be arrest until this morning. something changed, and for some reason when

attorney jeffrey berman said. i think i asked them specifically what they found at that search warrant hit they did saturday night after jeffrey epstein was arrested. he is arrested at 5:30. shortly thereafter they break into his mansion in manhattan and found photographs of nude underaged girls according to the u.s. attorney, he telling us that at the press conference a few moments ago. i think that's an important development so it depose further to something we've been talking about here on msnbc which is whether or not we have seen the last of charges involving jeffrey epstein and perhaps others. as far as court, craig, what we anticipate to happen first is an initial presentment to a magistrate judge then we will have a bail hour in front of judge berman, that's going to be happening at a 00 pearl straight which is 500 or so yards off to this side and basically what's going to happen there the government is going to say, your honor, he shouldn't get bail, this person poses too much of a danger to the community

there's berman's face.a reaction smile. >> no yankees pitcher has given up that much. missed his first home run because they got to the game late. so he hits another one. sox win 19-3. but john, what do you think? new york still ahead of them in the standings. >> what does that matter? who cares about the standings? who pays attention to that? >> that's the attitude that bogaerts had after the game. listen to his reaction to this win. >> it was good. you know, we know where we're at. we know what's needed to be done. i think we're all satisfied with the result today. >> just cool. calm, collected. no big deal. we got this, right berman? >> it's what a $120 million contract does for you also. >> is this what elation looks like on berman? >> yes, before 7:00 a.m. this is as good as it gets. >>> next to this story, panda-monium breaks out in china. there was a birthday party for 18 panda cubs. nine male, nine female cubs including three pairs of twins. >> just like us. >> just like our children. they celebrate

attorney jeff berman rebuked it in his public statement today! yeah, nicole, i supervised one of the squads in the history of the fbi in the san francisco division. i served as the number two official in fbi miami division prior to this case coming out and i have to tell you something, as try as i might to think of any analogous plea deal where you would allow a defendant's case to go to the state, yes, maybe, that you would allow the state sentence to let you out on, during the week to go to your office, maybe. that you would let all of the accomplices off the hook and then coconspirators, maybe, maybe not, but that you would hide, then, the plea deal from the victims in a sex trafficking case, no. so all of those totality of components to this deal, i have never seen before, particularly in a sex trafficking of minors case, so it smells very very badly, and the reason why i think the public corruption section of the southern district of new york, u.s. attorney's office is engaged in this case, is because it smells badly to them too. >> mimi rok

berman said part of the reason he denied bail was the testimony of two women who said epstein abused them and said they would be afraid if he was released. one, courtney wild said epstein abused her in florida when she was 16 years old. >> if you are a victim of jeffrey epstein, then you know what i know. he will never stop sexually abusing children until he is in jail. >> reporter: prosecutors argue if granted bail, the 66-year-old was a significant flight risk, pointing to what they found in a safe in his manhattan town house, $70,000 in cash, dozens of diamonds, and a fake foreign passport that had expired. an attorney representing several of epstein's accusers in a civil case said they're pleased that epstein will remain behind bars. >> the first reaction was relief and a sense that maybe there was some justice here at last. >> reporter: epstein, seen in this 1992 nbc video partying with a young donald trump once called the world's rich and powerful his friends. many, including mr. trump, have now distanced themselves from the multimillionaire. now epstein is being held here at a

they'll have a hearing on this on monday. >> i never want to make predictions, but again, i know judge bermanng to weigh this very carefully. a defendant has a right for all of this to be considered. with these charges where there is a presumption of detention and given the incentive to flee because of the time he is facing and given the past behavior towards potential victim witnesses and the potential for them to be deterred now, i think he will be and should be detained. the southern district of new york is well prepared for the arguments and like you said, he is doing his job, but this is not one victim. even if it was, i'm not saying she should believe this is not one person. they corroborate each other. there is a pattern of coercion, fraud, and violence. manipulation of girls. this is a manipulative man and i think the judge will do the right thing and detain him. >> how would jennifer feel if the judge allows jeffrey epstein to go home under house arrest conditions? >> i think she would be nervous. her face is out there. he knows what he did. i think she would feel like she has to loo

i think judge berman is going to keep him in for sure. >> you have, jennifer, the details of the casepears to be a serial molester, abuser of young women. then you have the behavior on the legal tied of things. as you mentioned and poppy mentioned, millions of dollars offered to witnesses in the case, suspicious payments there. also the way the defense team went after prosecutors in the midst of this as well, their families, et cetera. how should folks at home following this case see that. does that pose concerns how the wealthy, most have, can fight very substantial charges like these? >> i think it does. it's not so much an issue of bail, most tampering done not by epstein himself but by investigators, but people who work for him. not on the bail side, but people should be concerned when you have the kind of resources jeffrey epstein has, you can influence your treatment in the justice system as happened in 2007 and 2008. we have to hope the prosecutors now in the southern district of new york and judge berman won't allow that to happen. >> good he's seeing the light of day. that's

>> berman for congress. >> what will democrats hear when they go home over the next six weeks? they won't be fully off. they'll have town meetings. what will the democratic voters say? >> you know, i think they'll hear from a lot of activists which is who they hear from when they go home. that it's time to impeach. and the numbers will grow within the caucus. but they're not going to get it to a majority in their caucus. and i don't think the conversation back at home will be dominated by mueller and russia. and i think nancy pelosi's willing to let this play out in the courts. and i think only until -- the decision point she's going to have is the courts indicate without impeachment inkwquiryin we're not going to give you swift justice here. i can't predict which way she'll go. >> president trump said yesterday democrats have hurt themselves very badly for 2020. of course unknowable at this point. but do you sense that democrats stop talking about this? if they even were talking about this on the campaign trail, that it goes away? >> i think there weren't a ton talking about i

he said based on the good evidence, good for you, geoffrey berman, and the southern district of new york. if you were the u.s. attorney in florida at the time, why didn't he pursue that evidence? these are the same victims. >> right. i don't think that tweet goes nearly far enough in trying to answer that question and the others that surround him. i think abby is right, you know, trump will be the one who ultimately decides whether acosta can weather this. trump tends to have this impulse when somebody around him is under -- is facing criticism to try to surround them except when it reaches the point that he thinks it reflects badly on him. >> i just want -- as we continue the conversation, here's the president greeting the emir of qatar who's coming into the white house for a meeting. that is an important meeting, amid tensions with iran, amid questions about why to give another leader whose human rights record is quite deplorable an oval office visit. but it's an important military relationship. they have visited prior presidents as well. there's an oval office spray in just a few minu

. >> this is "new day" with alisyn camerota and john berman. >>> good morning, everyone. welcome to your new day, this tuesday, july 23rd, it's 6:00 in new york. john berman is off today. david gregory joins me. it's a big day. >> it's the eve of a big day. this has been highly anticipated even in the middle of the summer. they get robert mueller to finally testify. >> and things keep changing as they did last night. we're just 24 hours away from special counsel robert mueller testifying before congress about his investigation into president trump of course and russian interference in the 2016 election and then last night there was a development. on the eve of this high stakes testimony, the justice department sent a letter warning robert mueller to "remain within the boundaries of his report" end quote. the latetter warned him not to talk publicly. >> there's always some kind of red line. this is the question. could it significantly affect how democrat and republican lawmakers try to get information, new information, really, for much of the public about why the special p

and john berman is not the only who is fired up with lots of witticisms about this. >> i have lots of late night laughs. >> there are a lot of democratic candidates and cnn will air the debates over two nights. they had to split it into two. >> cnn democratic presidential debates. sanders, warren, buttigieg, o'rourke, klobuchar, ryan, delaney, williamson, bullock, biden, harris, booker, yang, this white guy, your uncle, rodriguez, de blasio, loopen hicker, some kid, this woman, your neighbor, this guy, this gal, that guy you always see at the grocery store, sanders, and 88 candidates, a nine part mini series, the cnn democratic presidential debates, live from detroit, july 30th and 31st, august 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th. >> loopenhicker that's not nice. >> i would watch the heck out of those debates. that's all i can say right now. >> nine part series, why didn't we think of that. >>> we have some breaking news for you. italian prosecutors have just revealed the evidence they have in the case of two americans accused of murdering a police officer. we have a live report for you next. you

i know judge berman. he's very fair and tough on bail.m out. >> eli honig, thank you. you can submit your questions by heading to cnn.com/opinion. >>> conditions inside migrant detention centers remain under scrutiny. just ahead, a new independent investigator who will be allowed inside to see how children are being treated at the border. you're live in the "cnn newsroom." don't go anywhere. in this clifs brown rice syrup? which is just another name for sugar. this kind bar's first ingredient is almonds. which is just another name for... almonds. look inside this kind wrapper and you'll see wholesome ingredients like heart healthy nuts. with the taste of delicious dark chocolate. and only 5 grams of sugar... that's 75% less sugar than the leading clif bar. so you can be kinder to yourself... and others. be kind to yourself. on a john deere x300 series mower. run with us. because seasons may change but true character doesn't. wow, you've outdone yourself this time. hey, what're neighbors for? it's beautiful. nothing runs like a deere™. run

attorney geoffrey berman mentioned this case and he said the victims deserve their day in court and the u.s. attorney's office said in the last 36 hours they feel that even more calls from potential victims and attorneys. >> brynn gingras thank you. >>> and joining me is elliott williams. you heard the attorneys calling this indictment a do-over of the, quote, very stuff investigated by the feds in florida. so explain, is there a double jeopardy issue here and how can the south district of new york charge epstein if he reached a non-prosecution deal with different federal prosecutors in florida? >> well, the new york prosecutors were very -- if you read the indictment carefully, they were very careful in the facts they allege. they laid out conduct that happened in new york, and they charge sex trafficking there and a conspiracy that touched conduct in florida which will pull in evidence of the past conduct. so they were very careful in trying to insolate themselves against this very charge. you could have anticipated they would have made this do-over argument but it is quite a weak one

that earned him a strict gag order from the judge, judge amy berman jackson, banning mr. stone from making any public statements about his case or about the broader russia investigation from which his case has sprung. then last month roger stone had another bright idea. this time he would go on instagram and call for former cia director john brennan to be "hung for treason." which, again, would seem to fly in the face of that gag order, and that was one of many recent roger stone posts and reposts related to his case on the russia investigation more broadly. well, eventually, when there's a federal judge overseeing your case and you've been ordered not to do stuff like that, you do someday have to answer for it. today at a federal court hearing in washington it was abundantly clear that judge amy berman jackson was done with roger stone's shenanigans. judge jackson started by reading back to him stone's own words, begging in her courtroom for a second chance. judge jackson said today, "my first question for you is was there anything unclear about my order?" her gag order.

attorney geoffrey berman also made an appeal to other women abused by epstein to come forward and seek justice. several accusers were present in federal court in manhattan on monday. lawyer sigrid mccawley read statements from two of epstein's victims. >> this is a great day for victims and i am humbled and inspired brother voices and i'm gratified to get to read a statement on behalf of of virginia and sarahah ransome, ,h ofof whom are victims and clien. this is virginia's statement. after years and years of trying my best to shine light in the dark place of sex crimes, that jeffrey epstein and maxwell and their circle of powerful people committed against me and girls just like me, finding the words adequate enough now to express how i feel is a tall task. but i can say without hesitation that i am deeply plpleased that the federal prosecutors in new york have arrested jeffrey intein and our case is taken a serious way. it is time for jeffrey epstein and the super dissipated in these sex crimes to be brought to justice. and this one is from sarah ransome. news of my abusers arrested a

once i think he settles the word with berman i think you're going to see a tremendous player that's going out with unbelievable career. but according to him the u.s. team talent didn't settle in easily. my 1st 2 months here was probably the most difficult time in my life to be honest. when you're there by yourself as a 17 year old. you know you know a lot of courage to me i don't speak the language and it was really hard for me actually so i was a little bit of 2nd guessing myself like was this the right decision but his perseverance paid off it wasn't long before he went from watching the professional us to preach chanting with them and then playing alongside true bring this thing to legends like. he's a very good frank i think he's going to be a good one every time you come in the it's very dangerous he. is sick it is the prettiest thing it came on match day 70 making it to from 2 attempts. he's very fast right away and bremen like to use young players the next highlight came on match day 23 he's starting again stuttgart swiftly followed by a contract extension. club people are very hap
