and it was a short— jean carroll.ten minutes for donald trump 0zment— ten minutes for donald trump ozment lawyers to make their arguments in front of this panel— arguments in front of this panel of— arguments in front of this panel of three judges. and then we heard — panel of three judges. and then we heard from e jean carroll's lawyer, — we heard from e jean carroll's lawyer, roberta kaplan. in her argument— lawyer, roberta kaplan. in her argument was essentially that there — argument was essentially that there were no issues at all in bringing _ there were no issues at all in bringing this evidence forward, that the — bringing this evidence forward, that the judge had carefully considered it and that these women _ considered it and that these women were showing a pattern of donald _ women were showing a pattern of donald trump first having pleasant interactions with women, then pouncing on them suddenly — women, then pouncing on them suddenly. and then denying the encounter when the women would come _ encounter whe

jean carroll. he did not have to be at this hearing. he wanted to be there. he wanted to be there to come out and to talk to reporters, which he is doing right now. but he is not just making this about e. jean carroll. he is bringing up unilaterally one-by-one stories of women who allege that he made unwanted sexual advances and more to, towards them let's just give you one example. once snippet of what we have been hearing from the republican candidate for president or former president who wants the job back again, he's been talking about this kind of thing for more than a half an hour. here's an example she said an 18, 79. >> i was in an airplane with her commercial flight and we became very intimate and she said i was making out with her then after 15 minutes and then she changed her story of a couple of times maybe it was quicker than i grabbed her to certain part and that was when she had enough now, so think of the impracticality of this. i'm famous i'm going to play and people are coming int

a jury found him liable of sexually abusing ms carroll of defaming ms carroll, and he's repeating many of the claims over which he was found liable for defamation. today. so he can say it, but a jury of his peers disagreed yeah, that's clear. >> fact liable for sexually abusing her and defaming her will continue to monitor this at trump's continuing his statement day hasn't answered any reporters questions yet. we'll see if he does thanks very much. daniel dale for your analysis. we always appreciate that and to our viewers, thanks very much for joining me i'm wolf blitzer here in washington. i'll be back later tonight. 6:00 p.m. am. eastern in the situation room. stay with us inside politics with dana bash starts right after a short break yeah. >> your worst nightmare, your car broke down. now you're worried if it's going to cost you a fortune and repair bills and less you already called car shield, the logit number one, auto protection company in the country. when you're protected with a plan to car shield the process is smooth, like guys and done in his littlest three steps one. >>

jean carroll. claims today were substantively nearly identical to things he said in the past, for which he has been found libel by a jury. however there wouldn't be additional consequences including e. jean carroll decides to sue him all over again. we've seen instances of former president trump saying these types of things since the latest of the e. jean carroll verdicts in the two trials that have gone on, and she has not brought additional suit. so we'll have to see whether she and her attorneys decide to do so. my guess is, that they believe they secured two investigations against former president trump with a total damages amount exceeding $88.3 million. that for them is likely enough. what they really want to do now is enforce the verdicts that they have and have them sustained by appellate courts. >> let's go to that. the legal questions today inside the courtroom. did donald trump's lawyer make a strong case that judge kaplan made mistakes serious enough to overturn the verdict? >> not only

jean carroll. awarded $5 million after a jury found trump liable for sexually abusing her in 1996. carroll won a separate judgment against trump for more than $83 million for defaming her. trump denies all the allegations against him. next hour we're expecting to hear from trump when he makes remarks at trump tower. with us now msnbc legal correspondent lisa ruben outside the courthouse in lower manhattan and nbc correspondent dasha burns who was at trump tower. also david marcus, a criminal defense attorney and glenn kirshner. lisa, you were inside the courtroom. what did you see? >> reporter: jose, i saw a very -- what i would call a pleasant argument in some ways and three judges on the panel who had a number of questions for both sides but no so many questions that either side was allowed to go over their time. as glenn and david can tell you, when appellate judges are interesting in resolving things it's not atypical for an argument to run over time. here they stuck very, very closely to the 2

jean carroll. e. jean carroll's attorney came back and said, even if all of that were thrown out of the case, the judgment should still stand. it was very interesting that donald trump was here. he did not have to be here. he was not here when this case went to trial last year. he didn't spend any time here, but there was a deposition of him that was used in this case. so with all of that, e. jean carroll's attorney arguing that she had 11 witnesses in this case, donald trump presented none, that the time to make the argument was last year, and not now. they were asking about the judgment that they got in this case should stand. >> thank you very much. let me play a little bit inside the hearing room because we don't often get audio out of these things. this is roberta kaplan, e. jean carroll's lawyer, and john sauer who is donald trump's lawyer, along with the judge in this case, talking about why the judgment should stand. i'm going to warn you, though, there is some coarse language. >> mr. trump is

jean carroll. she said the way to defeat trump is to go after him civilly as often as possible, make his life miserable, sue him all the time, keep him in court, and let him spend a fortune. that is the lawyer i have in the e. jean carroll case. and that is exactly what they have done. the only thing i can say that is good about it is the public understands. and my poll numbers i believe are higher than they would have been without it. because the public, understands it is a hoax, scam, political witch hunt. and some of you should be ashamed of yourselves. thank you very much, everybody. [applause]

jean carroll. they're also multiple e. jean carroll cases. there's a defamation case where he owes are over 83 million dollars. and then today he and his lawyers were in court fighting a $5 $5,000,000 judgment from a trial last year. so yes, it would be expected that most of those would continue, but i'm confident that his lawyers would try to find a unique legal issues to prevent him from having to actually pay that if he is reelected paul reid. >> thank you so much for the breakdown next on cnn news central family members of those killed in the georgia high school shooting come face to face. with both the 14-year-old suspect and his father. why prosecutors for only the second time in our nation's history will try holding a parent partly responsible for what happened with murder charges sanity needs a safe space. you have a show oh, we're right and left. talk to cnn presents an encore presentation of hbo's real time with bill maher tomorrow at 8:00 on cnn morgan stanley is partnering with the women's tennis association to remove boundaries b

jean carroll testifying that he raped her in a dressing room. they put on to other women who describe similar behavior. and the question is going to be whether the judge, judge lewis kaplan, who was the trial judge, whether he abused his discretion in allowing those other those other women to testify in addition to the access hollywood tape where he admitted to essentially forcefully touching women in their private areas and the plaintiff, ms carroll, in her case, argue that that shows that tends to show what he does and his modus operandi, which is his mo, that's kind of what, what the exception is to allow this title evidence and so that's what they're going to argue in this in this, in this appeal is whether the judge abused his discretion and that's a pretty high standard and hard they give a lot of leeway to the trial judge yeah. >> kristen i mean getting to the political dimension of all of this. i mean, i have to think that trump's advisers are going to be on the edge of their seat all day long today because he has gotten himself in troub

if you listen to e jean carroll's lawyers. | to ejean carroll's lawyers.n, he surely knows that. you know, i was in that, it was called a press conference by his team but it wasn't in the sense that there was no opportunity for any of the journalists there to ask questions, but even by donald trump's standards, this was a pretty unconventional event. there was a time in us politics when relitigating in public and every sexual assault allegation made against you, evenif allegation made against you, even if it's to deny those allegations would not have been seen as a winning strategy. but this is the donald trump world of politics and political reality that we live in today. what was a victory for him, of course, was his success in his criminal case. as you say, the judge their ruling, accepting the trump team's request to have that sentencing delayed until after the election. he said he did it despite, all along through this process, being at pains to make sure that politics and justice do not mix, but, he said, their argument that there was a possibility h

jean carroll. today, a panel of appeals court judges appeared skeptical of the arguments by donald trump's lawyer, including the assertion that what donald trump said on the infamous access hollywood tape should not be admissible as evidence. >> the access hollywood tape as judge kaplan noted is better admitted as a confession. per statement, he said this is what i do, i grab women without their consent. >> what about the argument whether it is new or not, that it is not propensity of events but it is a confession. how do you respond to that? >> that is the underlying problem. they don't point to a specific incident that it's a confession of so for them just speculating -- >> confession about a modus operandi. >> a confession of trumps modus operandi. remember that, right after he said when they -- you are a star, they let you do it. that is his modus operandi about everything from bragging about sexually assaulting women to encouraging putin to interfere to hurt his 2016 opponent to attempting to

his attorneys argued the carroll verdict should be thrown out. it's very clear that there was error in the admission of the propensity evidence, saying the judge improperly allowed in evidence, including about two other women's claims, that mr. trump assaulted them, and the infamous access hollywood tape, which carroll's lawyer argued should be viewed as a confession of touching women without their consent. a three judge appeals panel will rule later. former president trump, then heading to north carolina to address the fraternal order of police talking crime as vice president, harris focused on the economy in a univision radio interview, teachers and nurses and firefighters should not be paying more in taxes than the richest people in our country. she's in pennsylvania prepping for next week's critical debate. former president trump's courtroom appearance today for his e! jean carroll appeal came despite his not having attended the original civil trial. a lot has changed, of course, in the race for the white house since then, and it was interest

jean carroll? tell me in that moment what you feared the end game was had that butler not intervened? >> i never thought of him as a predator at that time. and that's why i was fine to be in a room alone with him. but it occurred to me after the incident that that was the first time i was ever in the room alone with him. i had interviewed him several times. but had always been surrounded by publicists, managers, and there was no reason for me to really think anything untoward would happen being in the room alone with him. >> but once it did, and then when you later heard, you know, you go back many years later, and you heard him in that "access hollywood" video, which was recorded, i think the same year that what happened to you happened where he said when i see a beautiful woman, i just kiss, i don't even wait. then he said, you can koo anything when you're famous, you can grab them by the -- which is what he did to e. jean carroll. when you heard that tape, what did you think? >> it's weird. i fe

jean carroll. today a panel of appeals court judges appeared skeptical of the argument by the lawyer including the assertion that would donald trump set on the infamous "access hollywood" tape should not be admissible as evidence. >> i believe i could lose all the propensity evidence and still be harmless error, except that the "access hollywood" tape, as judge kaplan noted in his posttrial motions. >> what about the argument whether it is new or not that is not propensity evidence but it's a confession. how do you respond to that? >> it's hard to see how it's a confession because that is the underlying problem that they do not point to any specific incident it is a confession of. >> it's a confession. >> a confession. remember that right after you said when you are a star they let you do it. that is about everything from bragging about sexual assault and women to encourage input into interfere to hurt his opponent. to attempting to extort ukraine to sabotage his 2020 upon and working to overthrow

jean carroll case. what did you make of him doing that in such a public way it's a way to show dominance. >> it's a way to say what he wants knowing they're not going to say anything back to him because this is a public setting and they're not going to turn to him and argue. and it's a way to humiliate and that is something that we know that he has done with any number of aides and lawyers, and advisers and employees over a number of decades. he is he is constantly complaining about his lawyers. you know, this this has been going on for decades, even even roy cohn, who he has mythologized as the most perfect lawyer in his, in his death has since his death, he was really critical of in real time and he distance himself from when were cone was dying of aids. so this is now i'll just the latest these, these, these people who have defended him pretty aggressively and in the ways he has asked more often than not up to a line that they try not to have cross where it would cause problems with a judge or a jury

ejean carroll, a formerwriter.ggested he had never met her before. the sorts of claims of course that in part led to the very substantial defamation damages against him and the spectacle of him going through in painstaking detail not only those allegations but out the assault allegations against him, all to deny them, of course, my as some observers seem like a somewhat art election campaign strategy with just nine weeks to go until the election. nonetheless, shortly afterwards he was handed what will be seen by many as something of a victory in another case that he faces, his new york criminal trial for the payment of hush money to the former porn star stormy daniels in order to try to influence the 2016 election, to keep the allegations of a sexual encounter with her from the american public. thejudge in that case today has ruled that he will delay sentencing, just as mr trump's lawyers had asked him to because he said he wanted to avoid the impression, however unwarranted, that the case was designed to somehow i

jean carroll's lawyers, that's exactly what they think he's doing.ance they are considering launching another case of defamation. he surely knows that. i was -- it was loosely called a press conference by his team. it was not in the sense there was no opportunity for the journalists to ask questions but even by donald trump's standards, this was a pretty unconventional event. there was a time in u.s. politics when relitigating in public every sexual assault allegation made against you, even if it is to deny those allegations would not have been seen as a winning strategy. but this is the donald trump world of politics and political reality that we live in today. what was a victory for him, of course, was his success in his criminal case. as you say, the judge there ruling, accepting the trump team's request to have that sentencing delayed uil after the election. he said he did it despite all along through this process being at pains to make sure politics and justice do not mix. but he said their argument that there was a possibility here -- at least

i think initially just looking to promote a book. >> carroll's attorney listening in telling abc news all options are on the table. trump mentioning another sexual assault accusation against him from the late 1970s, where a woman says she was molested by trump on a plane. it didn't happen. >> and she would not have been the chosen one. she would not have been the chosen one. >> trump's legal issues front and center with election day less than two months away. today, the judge in trump's felony hush money trial delaying his sentencing until november 26th after election day. yesterday, trump's legal team pleading not guilty on his behalf and his revised election interference case. no trial date has been set. meanwhile, the harris campaign is launching an outreach program in michigan for those who voted for nikki haley during the republican primary there. about 300,000 people voted for haley in michigan. perry, russom abc news, washington. >> in the east bay. budget cuts have alameda county court workers going on furlough. the superior court says starting today, almost every employee wil

director carroll references earlier. the next three plans i will discuss are emergency support function annexes to this plan. esf for short. so, will begin reviewing those. we'll start with efs6, mass care and sheltering. through the revision of this plan, the content development we have augmented the plan to mass care housing and human services. this plan purpose is to provide coordinating guidance primeally at the eoc level. how the eoc coordinates with stakeholders responsible for the tactical activities of mass care housing and human services. how we coordinate with the doers on the ground standing up the shelters, providing emergency food assistance, supporting unaccompanied minors. this includes the department operation centers and community based organizations and non governmental organizations. it also includes guidance for how we coordinate with the state and federal government to provide support. there is also a lot more specifics about emergency food access. how we can transition displaced survivors out of she

despite his insistence, that the case was fabricated and that e jean carroll was lying, he received fulln the matter. her lawyers presented the case to a jury and after hearing arguments and the ex- president's defense, the jury believed e jean carroll and found trump was liable for sexual abuse and defaming her by saying what you just heard him say there. we should note here he didn't need to be in court today, you don't have to show to your own appellate argument he could have let his lawyer handle it but he chose to be in the courtroom to put on a spectacle in front of voters in front of american flags spending an hour disparaging e jean carroll. not just that he also spent time insulting and attacking numerous other women because there are many women who've accused him of sexual assault throughout the years, the kind of sexual assault he once bragged on on tape including one who give testimony in her case. >> there were two witnesses, one is a woman who's followed me for years . she said in 1979 i was in an airplane, we became very intimate. passengers were coming into the plane and

last year they found he defamed carroll. $a 5 million. a second defamation trial cost him $83 million. in court filings trumps lawyers maintain he is innocent and trial politically motivated arguing plaintiff offered and emphasized inadd missible evidence to the jury wrongly admitted by the district court and made other arguments that president trump was prevented from addressing through improperly precluded questioning and evidence. they argue the court limited what they could ask carroll during her pros examination and the judge allowed testimony from other women and the inclusion of the access hollywood tape. it is a busy week in court for the former president. yesterday his lawyers entered a not guilty plea on his behalf for special counsel jack smith's new indictment in the federal election interference case and down the street judge merchan is expected to issue a decision on trump's request to delay his sentencing in his manhattan criminal trial. trump wants that to happen after the november election. as for trump's appeal in this c

jean carroll.t criticized carroll and another woman who claims trump groped her on an airplane in the 1970s, an accusation he's long denied. >> so think of the impracticality of this. i'm famous, i'm in a plane, people are coming into the plane, and i'm looking at a woman and i grab her and i start kissing her and making out with her. what are the chances of that happening? what are the chances? and, frankly, i know you're going to say it's a terrible thing to say, but it couldn't have happened. it didn't happen. and she would not have been the chosen one. she would not have been the chosen one. >> so here we are about 60 days before an election and trump is commenting on an accuser's looks, he's taking time, an hour almost, trying to debunk claims of sexual assault when the court has already ruled against him, and he criticized his legal help with his lawyers standing behind him. >>> and speaking of his legal team, a new york judge has delayed former president trump's sentencing on felony criminal

is trying to overturn as a $5 million jury trial where he was accused of sexually assaulting ejean carrollhat dressing room encounter they had in manhattan from decades ago and of course donald trump posting on truth social calling the claim a hoax. after all of that, jurors awarded her 2.02 million and 2.98 million for her sexual assault and the defamation claims and in a separate case, also having repeated some of what he has just said there on camera, there was another hearing with another award of more money but thatis another award of more money but that is a separate appeal with donald trump today saying he never met ejean carroll in speaking about a hostile judge, judge lewis kaplan, who resided over that case. so a lot of things that donald trump is saying that have been totally discounted he is repeating again but that appeal is being heard and has started on your last few hours. before going to that, we were listening to president zelensky of ukraine, he was there in germany earlier talking about the additional aid that allies have given ukraine but also repeating that plea to be

jean carroll. what can you tell us about what happened today?n that appeals court with e. jean carro ll present as both lawyer teams argued. trump's team wants a new trial. because his team says two of the witnesses had agreed just -- egregious bias against donald trump and their evidence was allowed to be entered improperly, saying it was highly inflammatory, admissible. they said the access hollywood tape where donald trump talks about grabbing women by their generals -- genitals should not have been admitted. panelists seemed skeptical, noting how difficult it is to overturn jury convictions, noting trump's team had the ability to cross-examine those witnesses. e. jean carroll's lawyer said these arguments should not be considered. these women talked about a pattern that existed with donald trump and there were no jurisdictional issues and that trump had every opportunity to take the stand himself in that trial. caitrÍona: thank you. one of the most important guides to the health of the u.s. economy was released friday and provided a mixed pi
