laura coates, alyssa farah griffin and bomani jones back with us now to talk about this, laura coates actually spoke with jim jordan this morning on your show. tell us about that. what did he say? i did speak to this morning on sirius. xm and i questioned that very notion about the idea of why manhattan. why now? why at this time, and there was a more than a coincidence people were obviously viewing, given that it's alvin bragg and given what you mentioned the idea of crime and other places, including in his home state, listen to what he had to say, and explaining why he felt this was appropriate. there seems to be a particular focus on alvin bragg because of the indictment of trump. is that what you take issue with? and why are you involved in that particular space? well, we take issue with all of it. of course, we take issue with the idea that he is federal funds to indict a former president for no crime, and then when we want to talk to someone who doesn't even work in his office hasn't worked there for a year. he takes his support. of course, we take issue with that. in a way that

laura coates from the prosecutor, saying that there was a racial component in this shooting. why wasn't he also charged with a hate crime? well, it seems that in missouri, which is where this is based in hate crime is actually a lesser felony than the two that he was charged with the latter one. the idea of the armed criminal conduct is really an enhancement based on what you're actually using to commit a felony, so i think they're thought there is charged the highest crime possible, even though there's a racial component, because that would put you in a lower rung. but you're absolutely right, pam. i mean, as a mother i cannot imagine the idea of sending my son to pick up his younger siblings and he just gets one part of the address wrong. just one part. there's no words that are exchanged. it seems and he has shot at in the arm and in the head and to have even the person who was the suspect now temporarily released while they were pending charges . that's part of the shockwaves here in this country. it's just that visceral reaction, right? it's just absolutely awful. i want

unquote let's bring back cnn legal analysts laura coates and elie honig. wow so laura 787,000,500. i can only assume that fox is cutting this check because they feared that after a jury trial, not only would they have to pay more, but it would become even more obvious. that they. are not a journalistic organization that their organization that is just chasing ratings and viewers and it doesn't really matter what they say. whether it's true or not. that's what their business model is, as my father would say, that's not chump change. you're not going to go ahead and pay that amount of money because you believe that you were ultimately truthful and that you were going to prevail. this is a huge amount of money. they probably already endured quite a bit of attorneys fees. this is about half of the $1.6 billion that they had asked for from the dominion side, saying that money is accountability. but let me tell you the part that made me lean in and that's when they said we're not done yet. there are others who still need accounting. this is not the end of the road, because, remember, it'

laura coates. i think you have a question here. i do. you know, it seemed to me that the whole dynamic of this really changed the second of the judge. i said, look. they can't make any of the first amendment claims. you've got essentially a leg up. you only have to prove actual malice . did you at that point in time ? thank this is really the biggest hurdle we had to overcome to fast track towards settlement. well. our goal was to take this to trial. we do not have a goal of settlement. we had a goal of winning a trial. it was only when there is an offer here. that really was showed was effectively a victory that my client decided to take it. i do think that the summary judgment order of the court was really helpful. we obviously thought the facts were on our side. um, and to be clear. we embrace the first amendment. the actual malice standard is absolutely critical for journalists. and i think, actually what? this settlement today shows is that the actual malice standard isn't just on paper. that it journalists and you know, this journa

laura coates, dr conti appreciate it. thank you very much.gain because he's going to the supreme court will join the legendary reporter on an analyst of the court, npr legal affairs correspondent nina totenberg. thanks so much for being with us you said earlier this week that the judge's ruling in texas was a quote radical decision. i'm wondering what you make of the fact that the appeals court frozen lee parts of his ruling and seemed to kind of go out of their way to echo some of his language and rebuked the fda. oh, i would say that the fifth circuit cited as much with him as it could, and what it couldn't do was do uphold where he the decision he made, uh, saying that the original. ah! fda approval. could still be challenged 23 years later, there's a statute of limitations in the law. and you you can't get around a statute of limitations. so they said, okay, for seven weeks, it's a you can. you can have this drug available where it can possibly be available. what the fifth circuit did was mainly side with the texas judge and also some see

joining us to discuss cnn senior legal analyst and former federal prosecutor laura coates and laura do you just to start off? do you think the high profile nature of the shooting might have caused initially prosecutors to charge alec baldwin even if they didn't have a solid case because it works both ways, right? sometimes people are so powerful , they avoid charges, and sometimes they're so powerful. prosecutors want to be sure that they're not seeing as bending over the power and they might get over excited this celebrity status put the huge spotlight on this case and amps the pressure to be very, very comprehensive in your investigation. i will also say that there was certainly a little bit of that feeling when the d a wrote something about his big fancy lawyers and tried to point to celebrity as a way of why his defense was as it was, so it could be a little bit of that, but at the end of the day you're still talking about a case involves the loss of a human life on a movie set, so whether it was alec baldwin and who was the one who did it or somebody else? it was the idea here tha

headline the white house correspondents' dinner, there's my colleague wolf blitzer and laura coates.uned. it

we have cnn legal analyst laura coates joining us now. she's a former federal prosecutor.lly interesting case because so much time has passed. how tough is it to win a case like this after so much time? >> well, remember this is a case that was kind of revived with the new york legislation that said cases that are way past the limitations period can still now bring some sort of suit. this is based on battery and defamation. the defamation cases notoriously are difficult because you have to prove that there was some reason that you know the person was lying or they had some knowledge of the truth and acted against it. if you're actually the person who's alleged to have engaged in this behavior, she alleges rape, then defamation is a little bit easier to prove if you can show maybe you told someone close in time. one reason so interesting, briana, the people who will testify in this trial who by the way might not be trump is she told two women allegedly contemporaneously what happened. that's important because all the time that went by you're going to have to corroborate her

all right, paula, i want you to stay with us as we bring in our senior legal analyst laura coates and senior medical correspondent elizabeth cohen. thank you both for joining us. laura i want to go to you first. as we just noted this deadline now, just 48 hours later going from tonight at midnight to friday at midnight. so what do you think will change between now and friday? unlikely to have a lot changed. it seems now. of course, there seems to be some dispute about what to do. ultimately, this is not going to resolve the case in full. it's not as if by friday night, alex. we're going to have a full resolution as to what exactly what happened in lieu of a full, litigious process. what this essentially says, though, is hey , we want to decide what the new normal and what the status quo is gonna be. is it going to be that mifid kristen remains as accessible as it's been since at least 2016, or are we going to impose those newer restrictions right now, kylie fitts circuit said to say, look, we're going to have these restrictions that were previously in place. excuse me in 2016 no longe

cnn's paula reid still with me, also joining us in studio cnn anchor and senior legal analyst laura coates and former trump white house deputy press secretary sarah mathews to talk about all of this, laura so the voting machine plot was being coordinated by rudy giuliani, sidney powell and other members of trump's legal team. could this part of the criminal investigation reached trump as well? do you think it very well could remember this is all about who knew what and who is directing the operation. if it's something where it was understood, as we've often heard, and catching with donald trump is understood. this is what he wanted to rest to do. that's not going to hold a lot of carry a lot of water. if it's a matter of directives, though, and here is an actual lot articulated in a way to conspired to commit some nefarious act. that's a whole different ballgame. we've already seen, of course, how text messages have been damaging and other cases involving voting machines as of this week alone, and so this plot continues to thicken and the more information they have. remember the special gr

laura coates. how strong is braggs case? case here. oh, right from sound in this indictment and a lot of a second. hold on a second. i don't know if i wasn't hearing you, laura, are you hearing me? okay i am hearing your now. here you go ahead. start again. how strong is braggs case here? it is quite strong, given the fact that of course, it's never been happening before where you've got a member of congress in the federal government trying to usurp the role of a state level prosecutor. it's about staying in one's lane and remember, it was a grand jury. hey that indicted this particular individual, a grand jury, not a politically motivated or elected official, as he is accused of being that makes a world of difference here. and so what you have now is an intention to try to undermine the process that needs to play out in any criminal proceeding and instead use congressional wait to try to influence perhaps what might take place here. we'll see. adam kinzinger congressman jordan's your former colleague. how hard will he and other house r

joining me now is cnn anchor and former federal prosecutor laura coates. we're waiting to hear more jury selection, wrapping up opening statements to be to becoming, there's been some interesting moves in terms of legal strategy as we're heading into trial first, in terms of dominion. i wanted to get your take this number of 1.6 billion that they're asking in damages. they are. they've now made a shift now arguing that this is all has to do with damage to the company's reputation, whereas before it was kind of divided into damages, reputational damage and also a loss in contracts. what do you make of this? kind of last minute shift . in terms of that strategy, they have to prove in some respect that there was a lessening of reputation in the actual community. that's part of what defamation requires initiative, the actual malice standard that says look, you either knew what you were doing was wrong. are you acting and recklessness cigar, but they have to ultimately come up with a number in the civil suit and say here is how we were harmed and hang their hoo

perspective now from two former federal prosecutors, cnn anchor and see and a senior legal analyst laura coates and cnn legal analyst jennifer rogers. or what message do you think the supreme court sent with this ruling tonight? but this is more than just about abortion and abortion related to medication. this is a broader discussion about the fda and authorization. they're not making any showing of the hand or the cards of how they will ultimately rule. remember this is premature to consider how they will ultimately rule if this were to come before the supreme court, but they're essentially saying, we acknowledge and some small part that a decision like this might in fact, create the kind of chaos that a premature or a out of line in terms of the order of how things should go. ruling would actually happen. let's let this entire thing play out because that's in ever since essence what we should be doing in the long run. but remember, this case is far more than about the one drug of a two drug regimen. it's about what the fda authorization can have. it's about all the different drugs that could

join us now cnn anchor and cnn and senior legal analyst laura coates also back with his doctor, jennifer conte, who teachers obstetrics and kind ecology at stanford university school of medicine, dr conte. obviously a lot depends on what the supreme court does or does not do. but what are the possible implications that you're focused on tonight. thank you, anderson. so there are three really big things to sort of. keep in mind when you consider mythic kristen how it was originally improved, approved in 2000 and how we use it in this current day, and one of them is how far along and pregnancy you can use it. so originally, the fda approved method christian through seven weeks of pregnancy. the fda has approved it more recently through 10 weeks, and evidence based medicine has actually shown us that we can use it up till 11 weeks of pregnancy. so that's really will set back by at least 34 weeks, the number or the amount of time that people can access abortion care if you think about it. a lot of the estates where surgical abortion is limited, this is essentially one of the only options lef

laura coates. let me ask you, though, if trump can make the case that he would have done it anyway. but then brad can say, but in this case, part of your motivation was the election even though you would have done it anyway. is that enough to sustain 34 felony counts of falsifying business documents in the case they're making depending on the strength and what they actually ultimately present. remember erin right now we do have this very bare bones indictment, which i should add it is not required for a prosecutor to give the entire entirety of their entire argument their entire trial. that's really what we want to consume as part of the court of public opinion, but they have no requirement to give everything has given notice an opportunity to be heard a kind of due process, and there's been a lot said today, erin about the fact that well, this obviously is for the federal government will listen. they're talking about a thing called preemption. which means that listen, the federal government they have their role. there are federal laws and you have state courts and state laws and on

also standing by laura coates. john dean are joining us. laura coates. we haven't heard from you today that the former president now leaving the court building. um they're heading back to other johnny. think trump tower, or do you think the airport? they're going out there sticking to the schedule. they're going straight to laguardia airport straight to his private jet and straight back to palm beach coach. what do you make of the lengthy arraignment? well, listen, there has only been 46 presidents in the history of our country and millions of criminal defendants . and look what we have now, one who is now a criminal defendant on his way out of the courtroom and extraordinary amount of time to have him there are likely trying to argue a point about the relevance of this particular case. i assume his lawyers were the ones to do so, but note who was behind him in that courtroom . you didn't have secret service you had to presumable marshals, one with handcuffs dangling on her own waste. span and appeared to wear gloves. you're seeing the conduct of what wo
