she really has broken open the jeffrey epstein child sex abuse case.. labor secretary alex acosta was the u.s. attorney and federal prosecutor leading the epstein case. a federal judge ruled at acosta and his office broke the law when they gave epstein this non-prosecution agreement without ever telling epstein's victims. one of the things i had a hard time following in this story is the question of why acosta offered this plea deal to jeffrey epstein in the first place. he's defended it vaguely. he's called it a point of pride. he's never answered questions as far as i can tell about why he kept this deal he did with epstein secret from epstein's victims. do you have any insight into that? do you think this is a knowable thing? >> well, he's given a lot of different reasons over the years. none of them which address the key points, the key things that have disturbed the victims, one of which was the confidential agreement that was designed -- you can see it in the e-mails that they -- that he and out prosecutors passed between epstein's lawyers. it's

thank you, jeffrey. it's a lot.frey, before we go, how many more bombshell reports do we need like maggie's? because every week, there's a bombshell report. >> in a curious way, it almost helps the president that there are so many bad stories that come out about him, it's very hard to keep up with them. i do this for a living and i have a hard time keeping up. >> people get lost at how unprecedented this is and how beyond the norms of just not even normal politics. >> that's not to discourage this great reporting by "the new york times," but it is hard to absorb it all. >> yeah. thank you all, appreciate it. >>> matthew whitaker's testimony to the house judiciary committee is under even more scrutiny tonight after the bombshell "new york times" report. a member of that committee is here, congressman eric swalwell is next. because with expedia, i saved when i added a hotel to our flight. ♪ so even when she outgrows her costume, we'll never outgrow the memory of our adventure together. unlock savings when you add sele

the little girls who jeffrey epstein raped were never notified of the deal that allowed jeffrey epsteinsecution. that is the reason that senator dianne feinstein voted against the confirmation of alexander acosta as donald trump's labor secretary. she said, "i oppose the nomination of alexander acosta for labor secretary. his handling of a case involving sex trafficking of underage girls when he was a u.s. attorney suggests he won't put the interests of workers and everyday people ahead of the powerful and well connected." in 2007 billionaire jeffrey epstein was accused of sexually confused of sexually abusing 30 underage girls. acosta cut epstein a favorable deal without consulting or even informing the victims. as a long time advocate for the rights of crime victims, i find this deeply disturbing. and today, a federal judge found that alex acosta did indeed break the law in making that deal with child sex trafficker and child rapist and friend of donald trump, jeffrey epstein. after this break we will consider what happens next for alex acosta and jeffrey epstein and you'll hear what

jeffrey toobin, i want your assessment. she concludes that paul manafort, the former trump campaign chairman, did in fact lie, even though he promised he would not lie as part of a plea agreement, part of his cooperation agreement with mueller and his special counsel team. she says he did lie on several of the points, jeffrey. >> well, it's doom for paul manafort. yes, it's better for him that it was only three out of five. remember, amy jackson also revoked manafort's bail because of his behavior while he was out on bail. this is a judge who has had it with paul manafort. yes, it could have been worse. going into sentencing as a 70-year-old man with this kind of finding is just disastrous. >> office of special counsel according to judge jackson -- reading it together with you -- has established evidence that defendant intentionally made false statements to the fbi, the office of special counsel and the grand jury concerning the payment by firm a to a law firm, another one the office of the special counsel has established b

jeffrey: several things about an arms race.ar as this is a race, the russians are already racing and we are kind of standing on the starting line. i would be cautious, i wouldn't be hyperbolic and overly alarmist about an arms race. it is not as if russia has a giant capacity that it will suddenly bring online and produce millions more missiles. i don't think that is the case. but i think there is thewioncern that w need to take steps, we need to be veta cautious and into consideration our allies' concerns over these weapons if that is the course we pursue. but one thing we need to look at -- not just producing weapon i think you up and -- europe and the u.s. need to spend more tid sources looking at missile-defense capabilities and point defense. protecting critical infrastructure and things like tat. jane: do you thi u.s. is also concerned that iran and china are not bound by any treaty?hi jeffrey: i it is a concern. i think their capabilities are y ncerned. i have not seen idence -- i spoke to others in the administration wh

host: jeffrey rosen, joining us until 9:00 this morning. north carolina, republican line, rob, you are on. caller: hello. in my life i have experienced the effect of illegal mexicans. i think the wall is a good idea. the reason i believe democrats would disagree is they have a conflict of interest. the democrats are trying to stop it. they know that without illegal voters, which will be eliminated because a wall will stop the illegals from coming and we will be rid of them, because people without a state id should not be allowed to vote, yet that is rampant. the drugs need to stop. is going toall handle both of the problems of illegal voting and the drug epidemic and i hope the president can do the executive orders obama loved to do and hurt america. host: thanks. guest: the first is a policy point. if there is a national emergency at the border leading to better results. that is relevant. if the courts decide the president's declaration of a national emergency is a pretext, basically if there is no emergency and he made it up, they might n

jeffrey toobin is with us and susan page. jeffrey, i want to begin on the legal issue here.attorney general says, quote, probably the best evidence is the president's own words. remember in that ceremony on friday the president said, oh, well, i didn't have to do it, i just wanted to do it faster. he waited weeks and months to do this through the government shutdown. from a legal perspective, the public comments and his actions, does it undermine his case legally for an emergency declaration? >> it hurts the case, but i wouldn't say it is a fatal blow. if you look at the national emergencies that have been declared, several of them don't have a lot of urgency about them. there is a national emergency about prohibiting importing diamonds from sierra leone which is not something most people think of as an emergency. the real issue i think here is that congress explicitly did not authorize the expenditure of this money. the president is trying to go around it with the national emergencies act. that's never been done before. >> that's the key thing. this goes back to the truman

jeffrey berman could not protect donald trump. in his book, andrew mccabe writes that what he knows about president trump -- he writes what he knows about president trump asking then fbi director james comey to drop the investigation. donald trump's first national security adviser, michael flynn, who has pleaded guilty of lying to the fbi. he writes this. after comey's conversation with the president, he called me on the phone to tell me what trump said. this was the moment when i realized that the president and his administration were not just inexperienced, not just unfamiliar with the established norms of democratic government, they wished to manipulate the functions of government mainly for their own interests. and joining us now, the author of that passage and the book "the threat: how the fbi protects america in the age of terror and trump." the former deputy director of the fbi who, after the firing of james comey, became the acting director of the fbi, andrew mccabe. thank you very much for joining us tonight. i know you'v

joining us, david gregory, analysts and jeffrey toobin from cnn.'s pull up on the screen what prosecutors believe what crimes may have been committed here. there is a litany of them. conspiracy against the united states, false statements, mail fraud, wire fraud, money laundering, disclosure violations, contributions by foreign nations, straw donors. and did someone make a donation by someone else because they couldn't make it directly. >> this is a broad subpoena, that's the point. really broad. >> there are some crimes not listed there. that's good. >> there are some. >> we're talking about $107 million, a ton of money. there's been criticism raised about where did that all go? there weren't like a record number of super fancy inaugural events. >> in fact, there was twice as  much money raised for fewer events than either obama or george bush conducted. step back. what's under investigation right now? trump's businesses? his campaign, his foundation, his inauguration, his presidency. there has not been anything like the kind of stench of corrupti

jeffrey s. let me just -- all right. jeffrey let me -- they're recessing here to vote for about ten minutes or so. what struck you the most? >> that he's not going to answer questions about, a, his conversations with the president, and b, any substantive interactions he had with the mueller team. he did say action in a press conference a few weeks ago. >> he said yes, eventually, to that. >> we knew that already. he has cited executive privilege for any sort of interactions with the president, so i would say this has been less than illuminating. >> so far. we're only two members in. >> good theater, though. >> evan perez, to you, one of the questions he would not answer is how many times he's been briefed by mueller, and whether he spoke to other members of the administration about the mueller probe, or even third parties who would have told members of the administration or the president here. i just want to remind our viewers, which is someone who is an acting attorney general, who has a very important job right now, to

and our chief analyst jeffrey toobin. good morning, everyone. >> good morning. >> what did you say red line down? >> red line down. >> that's berman's take. toobin's take is the red line is obliterated. but there's a key point here. that is what did the president say, remind us if the red line were crossed he with do what? >> remember, this whole issue came up early in the mueller investigation where the president, in effect said, not in so many words, that if mueller starts investigating his personal finances beyond russia, that would cross a red line. the implicit threat being if that happens, he would fire mueller. the people and institutions now investigating his personal finances include the house of representatives, adam schiff's intelligence committee. the president is powerless to stop that investigation. it doesn't matter if he thinks a red line has been crossed. >> right. >> because he can't stop that investigation. it's a huge difference from where we were. >> sure. >> a year plus ago where the president did an

>> jeffrey toobin, you just pipe down over there, okay? not asking for your legal -- we're not asking for your legal interpretation. we're asking for your human reaction. >> oh, human. i don't have any human reaction. >> david, i just think you're wrong. i think there's a lot more there. there's acting and there's acting. >> i think this is a case, and this is the beauty of hollywood, that people are projecting on to this couple things that may or may not be there. no question they're great together. >> there's no difference in david gregory. the tone of his answer there, than the entire discussion about michael cohen's testimony. that was like deadly earnest. that was shocking. >> i waited for the house intel committee to figure this out. >> lady gaga. >> thank you all very much. >>> we have a programming note. cnn will hold a presidential town hall tonight with senator bernie sanders. >> hi. >> moderated by wolf blitzer. >> gets me every time. >> 8:00 p.m. eastern on cnn. >> bernie sanders video he released, his announcement, the first t

jeffrey raised the issue. maybe it was unjustified. maybe they were wrong that this was necessary, but they thought it was necessary at the time, including rod rosenstein who is still the deputy attorney general. >> was rod rosenstein forced to write the memo that was the basis for firing jim comey? if that was the case, why didn't he resign? there are questions about that. at the same time he's someone who pushed hard to maintain the integrity of the investigation. it was jeff sessions who put him in the position to oversee it. despite some of his comments and the white house had a chance when some of the revelations came out to push him out and declined to do so at the time. >> there was a lot of distrust around there either way. even on the campaign trail if you think about it, the fbi was a point of contention there. there was no trust there. anybody who is claiming or wanting to put a wire to see if they can get incriminating evidence, there is no joking around there. there is serious mistrust on both sides there from the start, t

jeffrey. two things emerge from me.ndia is now seeing really echo what we see here in the uk and in the us. this is the overriding geopolitical theme of our time, that if we pit people against each other, we can, specific factions can come out victoriously. the other ironic historical note about india and pakistan that has a straight line to what we were just talking about in brexit is, the mess in kashmir is a direct legacy of 1947 and partition, and india's, the independence of india after the war, done by bureaucrats and technocrats in westminster, and you can see the legacy of previous so—called brexits, in india, in ireland in the 19205. the uk has a terrible record of dividing and leaving, so there is this kind of ironic theme that recurs in contemporary british history that leaves a terrible mess when countries are divided and divisions happen. it may be a salutary tale. it sounds like a stretch, but i don't think it is. so history is never over. david, the thing is, that might be the case, but these are nuclear

joining us now, dana bash and chief political correspondent jeffrey toobin, former federal prosecutor analyst and david gregorly would say name political analyst. dana, i want to start with you. when you look at that week, the way it lays out, this is a major hurdle for president trump and the trump president -- i don't want to say make or break, but michael cohen testifying in public telling his story is something the president has to survive. how is the white house looking at this? >> well, you know, in some ways it could be a negative, one would think, for the president to be in vietnam around this time and certainly this week having a major event on the world stage. the other hand is if the president can keep his hand off his twitter feed and focus there, you could have a potential split screen that might not be the worst thing, even though it will detract, obviously, from what the president is doing on the world stage, at least is he being presidential and doing something whether or not there's going to be success or not with the north korean summit. at leave he's trying, which i

think jeffrey laid out the two possibilities. if it was just about him trying to get business, it's not about him lying, it's about lying a second time after he'd had a deal, after the special counsel had said, i'll give you some consideration, you may not have to spend the rest of your life in jail if you now tell the truth. if it was just about enriching himself, why wouldn't he then say, okay, i was trying to get more business, why wouldn't it be open? so it comes down to why he would lie a second time about this? and it goes to the more provocative theory, which is he's holding something back that implicates the president or maybe the campaign, and he's going to continue to hold that back because ultimately what he wants is a pardon. that's the only way he gets out of jail. and the really interesting part for me is once they went into court, we now know mueller had to know he was lying because he had to know what he was lying about. >> and it's worth remembering that also present in that august 2nd meeting was rick gates who
