let's go to jessica schneider and our legal analyst laura coates. jessica, why did this judge deny the justice department's request to switch its legal team in the census case? >> wolf, this is a biting order from this new york federal judge, jesse fuhrman. in his three-page order, he goes into detail, really slamming the justice department for making this request to withdraw certain attorneys that have been representing them in this census case up until this point and asking to substitute these lawyers. this judge saying that the department of justice did not give any satisfactory reasons for changing these attorneys and, in fact, gave no reason at all for changing these attorneys and that's why the judge in this case has denied this request to change these attorneys. and, wolf, this is a big procedural setback for the department of justice. their plan has been multi-fasciated. they're attacking this census case to put this citizenship question on the 2020 census on multiple levels. they are fighting this in courts across the country. federal court

laura coates, how unusual is this ruling?it's not unusual for a client to change counsel, but it's unusual for someone to be the counsel thefmselves and say i'm not going to offer any reason for why i want to leave, especially because the supreme court took this case and said there is a contrived reason here. so give us some basis to say it's satisfactory. they didn't do that. they treated it as a rhetorical question, why do you want to leave? oh, well -- more needs to be said to a federal court on an issue this important. >> this judge, federal judge in new york is a very serious guy. you just heard preet tell us. david swerdlick, even if the trump administration is defeated when all is said and done, can't get that question on the citizenship census forms, will this whole fight so scare the immigrant community they won't want to participate in this census? >> i mean potentially, yes, wolf because now this idea is out there in the ether. whether or not it ends up on the census as a question, this idea that the administration

let's bring in laura coates. there's so much about this story that i love.ed hearing her talk about what it was like to take on her hero. >> can you imagine that you took on your hero. you were able to beat her on the wimbledon court. think about that. this is somebody who said she idolized this woman. >> and i misspoke calling her venus wimbledon. but in truth, she owned that stage. we were just checking on this. i marvel at the age that she's 15 and able to put it together like that. but her role model, venus went pro at 14. i think she won the australian open at, like, 18. it's amazing to achieve huge things like that on that stage at that age. >> i mean, i got to recheck my life choices. when i was 15 years old, chris, i wasn't winning wimbledon. i wasn't on the stage with my heros. what i loved about her is she actually said, you know what, looking at the court, and said, the lines are the same and having to calm herself down every single time, she's adorable. bout you know what? i don't want to, like, pat her on the head. she needs to be reckoned with.

. >> because laura coates, he is a reluctant witness. he made it clear a couple months ago he didn't want to do this. >> he did. he has a deputy with him as well who may suggest he wants to be comprehensive. wan wants to get this done right now. i'm looking for two things. why he made decisions, why he was inclined to make decisions and also credibility. the whole point of this is the same reason you don't hand to a jury police reports. you want to actually have some legs and some teeth. he can provide the credibility to say, look, here's why i meant what i said. it's making it plain. >> preet, what are you going to be looking for? >> same thing everyone else is looking for. see what explanations bob mueller gives about the decisions he made and why he didn't make some decisions particularly on obstruction. i agree with jeffrey that there's potential but also chance for disappointment. bob mul ser oeller is pretty forthcoming but didn't evade questions, doesn't filibuster. in this instance bun one of the things the democrats keep saying,

and laura coates, what do you make of this request?a last-minute request by mueller to bring his top deputy in to sit alongside him. >> it tells me he wants to give comprehensive answers and give one bite at the testimony apple. and doesn't want to go back and say let me check it out and figure it out and come back and he turns to the person and said you know the answers and let me get back to them now and he's hoping to not have evasive answers but forthcoming and give them the information they are seeking to nudge and remind him, we're not talking about that. we may have 12 other investigations to report on, sir, let's tamp it down. >> what do you think of the justice department warning to him in this letter that they sent him last night saying he should stay within the constraints of the official 448-page report. >> thanks for that opinion, people at doj. but in reality, he can stay in the four corners of the report and still be comprehensive. the questions are not asking to go beyond that but it is behind the scenes and behind the

joining us now, joe lockhart, kaitlan collins, and elie honig and laura coates. joe, i want to start with the politics and the now. so my question to you is after what we saw yesterday, what now? >> well, i think nancy pelosi took a baby step towards impeachment yesterday in her press conference with her chairman saying that they're going to continue to use the courts to try to compel further fact-based witnesses. but she made the point that i think was a gift to the pro-impeachment people saying if we continue to be stone walled, we will go forward if we have to. she's not going to be rushed into this. the point i think she was trying to make is we get one bite at this. and we're going to go in with the strongest possible case. so she didn't take it off the table. i don't think it moved significantly forward yesterday on impeachment. you know, she's listening to her caucus. you know, it is moving ever so slowly. >> laura, here are the things we learned yesterday from robert mueller's testimony. learned definitively. obviously it had been in the report. but here'

joining us now are laura coats and jennifer rogers. both are former federal prosecutors and cnn legal analysts. great to have both of you. laura let me start with you with that question. these charges have already come up a decade ago. you know. prosecutors have already alleged all of this against him. how is this not double jeopardy. >> in order to have double jeopardy, you have to a complete overlap of crimes alleged. you have information perhaps about new crimes since the other case was actually brought forward. there may have been information about having brought young girls across state lines from say florida to new york, there's information he may have been engaged in recent activity. if all of that is true, it's not double jeopardy. you're talking about new york versus florida. new york is not beholden to what happens in florida. >> jen, you worked at the sdny, that's who's bringing these new charges. as laura says, there must be new victims who have come forward because otherwise, if it were exactly the same thing florida knew,

. >> joining us, two federal prosecutors and cnn legal analyst laura coats. can you explain why this isn't a case of double jeopardy because essentially his attorneys are saying look, they are just kind of trying to take another shot at, you know, at the same crimes. >> i mean, it's not taking a second bite at the apple when it involves new victims and new allegations and by the way, it's a new jurisdiction talking about crossing over state lines to florida to new york. new victims, new under aged people and information and a new fbi investigation. if there is not an exact over lap that involves new things, no double jeopardy. >> have you ever seen a deal like epstein originally received back in 2008? i mean, being able to keep any co-conspirators, they get immunity, their names aren't mentioned, you know, and he registers as a sex offender ask does a little time. >> this is a sweet heart deal made of fiction. i've prols cusecuted sex crimes the idea of having a sweet heart deal, i'm not going to notify the victims. i'm not going to give them a voice in court

i want to bring in our cnn legal analyst laura coates and shimon prokupecz and evan perez. first of all, what do you think what we heard from the president? >> i think the president said that mueller didn't have anything to work with and i think that is not correct. i think it is clear, as you read this -- the two volumes of the mueller report, there is a lot here and mueller today chose essentially not to use all of that. i think -- i understand that mueller wants to sort of abide by this idea of staying within the four corners of what is the work product, but there is a lot of room there and he chose not to do it. and i think obviously he was an unwilling witness and warned the democrats essentially that he didn't want to be there. and he made that abundantly clear. but on a couple of occasions, especially at the beginning, he made it clear this is not an exoneration of the president. he also in answer to a series of questions said that once the president leaves office it is possible that he could be indicted for some of his conduct. again those were some of the moments t

we have susan glasser with us, legal analyst and former federal prosecutor laura coates, a.b. stoddard is with us and abby philip is here. quick little fact check on a few things. on puerto rico, he attacked the government. of course the governor is embattled. he attacked the mayor of san juan who has been critical of him in particular. he got the number wrong on the aid. 42 allocated, 14 given of the on robert mueller, he recycled his criticisms that ruobert mueller is conflicted. he's not. and he said these four congresswomen hate the country, which is the line he's been using against them. let's talk about afghanistan and pakistan because he's next to the prime minister of pakistan. susan, you first. he raised the specter of nuking or demolishing or bombing to a considerable degree afghanistan. wiping it off the face of the earth he said, but he said he didn't want to do that because it would kill millions of people. >> over and over again, it was kind of unnerving i thought to watch this performance where the president suggests essentially that the choice is either between
