laura coates joins me now to talk about all of this.o laura, one of the interesting things about the acquisitions that she pled guilty involved working a now sitting congressman on a fraud against united states government. so what does this mean for george santos? >> it's not good news for him abby and here's why. not only in your allocation which is a fancy way of saying the things are gonna tell the judge you did wrong when you plead guilty. here are the facts here is what we agreed upon here's what we're meeting to, it's all under the allocution. talks about a coconspirators somebody she's working with specifically who also happens to be a sitting member of congress. his lawyer i understand was in the courtroom over hearing all of this and did not object in any way which singles to you that his knees maybe shaking a little bit. if she has direct knowledge of his behavior as alleged, and she may very well end up being a witness against him. there is not currently a cooperation we are being told, but the fact that she has insider knowl

let's bring in laura coates and former prosecutor elie honig. laura, let's start with the key legal argument for the legal team. the banks go the repaid with interest, so really this is a victimless crime. there are no victims. everybody got paid back. even if -- and i don't know that they're granted the idea that they're assets were over infla inflated, even if they were, where is the victim. >> alls is well that ends well does not bode well in a courtroom of law when you have a number of things on the books that are victimless. imagine if you will somebody who is soliciting to take drugs. they want the drugs and somebody sold it to them. who is the victim here. you might have a john and a prostitute, where is the victim. a society is built by a number of laws because society is offended and even though shun was not been a victim, it is still nonetheless against the law and that is the core of the prosecutions argument. is it doesn't matter if there wasn't an insurance issue or a tax benefit, but they claim there was. that you engaged in fraudul

laura coates live starts right now. he laura. >> hey, good to see you. >> looking good there. >> you noticed, thank you, you look at yourself. so informative. we'll see right back here tomorrow. a high stakes presidential trip, a hostage video, and the tragic effects of the war being felt right here at home. that is tonight on laura coates live. now, if you thought for a moment that what was happening in israel and with gaza would not affect what is happening here at home, you are sadly mistaken. as the sun rises on yet another day of war in the middle east an american president is now preparing to head that way. we've already had a secretary of state, secretary of defense, they've already gone to the region. let's add word to that, they've now gone to the now dangerous region and we're in the middle of -- airstrikes and bombings above civilians trying to get away from the ground, perhaps 200 hostages might be below and president biden has had to undertake a very risky trip on wednesday that will be a huge so of support

and that's it for me and our special coverage does continue now with laura coates. she's up next live. >>> breaking news, a terrifying manhunt is now over, but there are so many questions that remain. tonight i'm laura coates live. there's been now a stunning end to the manhunt in maine. the suspect in the mass shooting that killed 18 people have now been found dead in the woods near lisbon, maine, with an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. law enforcement telling cnn's john miller robert card was found in an area from a recycling center at which he'd been recently fired. we have no idea how long he'd been found or what was found on his body. we don't know if he was found in an area law enforcement already searched and just missed it or he recently was found there anew. had he been on the run? did he have any help evading police for so long? we have a lot of questions, but there will be a press conference again tomorrow that may shed additional light. there was a press conference, and we're going to unpack that with you here on the program. but two d

thanks for watching laura coates is back in her hour starts right now. that was a quick turnaround i was just here, is a dÉjÀ vu. >> it's like you never left. >> look at this our airings match. >> okay that's called alignment. a smooth handover is what we are doing right now. >> it's like air traffic control. thank you very much abby philips everyone i'm laura coates good evening everyone. we talk about the news for a second. the former president donald trump's expected to endorse ohio congressman jim jordan to be the next speaker of the house. i want you to think about that for a second. it is an extremely important point and an extremely important position. think about the role of the speaker of the house. the speaker is the second in line to the presidency right after the vice president of the united states. and the duties, while a included ministry oath of office to members, giving members permission to even speak on the house floor. counting and declaring all votes. appointing members to committees, sending bills to committees, signing bills and res

tonight, on laura coates live. >> this is cnn breaking news. >> there is truly stunning news tonight out of maine. 22 people are dead in multiple shootings in lewiston, maine, sources telling cnn that 50 to 60 people are reported injured in the incidents, though it's unclear how many are injured due to gunfire. central maine medical center has confirmed that they are reacting to a mass casualty, mass shooter event. a suspect is still at large as we speak, and you are looking at a photo of him, armed with an assault style rifle. and do look closely to that photograph. because the police, they want anyone they say may recognize him to please call 9-1-1, and they are warning everybody in that area to stay inside of your home with the doors locked. police releasing this photo of a vehicle they believe to be the suspect's car with a front bumper that is painted black. the lewiston police department identified the businesses were two active shooting incidents took place. there was a bar and a grill called schemengees -- schemengees, excuse me, and a bowling ally alley called sparetime recr

i'm laura coates, here with abby philip, and this is a special edition of cnn tonight. mccarthy, i listed as house speaker, he says he's not don't even run again. now, the house will be in recess for a week. they're not even planning to return till next tuesday night for cough -- conference meetings, before then, a potential vote later that week on electing a new speaker. so that means the house will be closed for business, maybe we'll get another speaker. me while, because he lost that speakership gavel today, police said this tonight. >> these are the same people that never voted for me, they thought it was big they went to present. after we went through 15 rounds. i'm not quite sure those individuals are looking to be productive. >> well, this is certainly a moment in american history. and a series of a number of moments that we've never seen anything like before. never before has a speaker lost the job in a vote on the house floor. and it happened with the pounding of the gavel. >> the office of speaker of the house of the united states house of representatives is h

for more on all this, i want to bring in our chief legal analyst, laura coates and norm. laura, how egregious is it for trump to reup these attacks a day after this gag order was imposed on him? >> he's not only trying to poke the bear, he's showing you how little respect he has in regard for judicial order. the orders weren't just put there as a happenstance. there was a threat, a sense of saying derogatory and disparaging comments against the person who's job it is to help prepare the judge, to research the case law. to ensure fact checking and to provide the court the security it has in making objective decisions. so to attack that person is just biz bizarre. because there's not a jury in the courtroom, he's turning to the jury of the court of public opinion. normally if you had a jury trial, you'd be worried about having the jury pool really poisoned and having no longer the ability to be impartial towards either defendant because either their antics or their witness on the stand. >> norm, what options does the judge have to put a stop to what trump is doing? his remar

news night, with laura coats, starts right now. hi, laura. >> i have been

. >> laura coates interviewed a man who shared his concerns about his missing cousin after the attack on his family near the gaza strip. >> i'm terrified because for example, the last time his phone was located was in southern gaza. so maybe he was moved to the north and then they're going to find them. maybe he's going to be the first guy to be found in the first house they go into, but maybe as his captives see the army is coming, they're going to execute him and run away. that's also very appplausible. >> this must be just the thought of that and having to think about those possibilities, it's unimaginable to so many people. to think that that has to be anticipated. there must have been such an emotional evolution and toll this is taking on you and your family. what has this been like? >> i -- i can only describe it as sitting on the edge of an abis full of sorrow and grief. that's really what it feels like for most of the time. >> your mother's whole family i understand was living in the kibbutz and you were texting with them as the attack unfolded. can you describe what that mome

the mayor of auburn spoke to laura coates overnight about what he was seeing there.ten. >> you can give me a sense of the ages of the people present at that bowling alley? >> anywhere from probably 12 to 90. and everywhere in between. >> back with us, andy mccabe and also charles ramsey. andy, we actually know quite a bit wabout this this person of interest. we know he is a certified arms instructor, a member of the army reserves. and we also know that he was committed for about two weeks at a mental health facility just about a year ago. with all that information, how does that guide this hunt for him? >> well, i think that all those facts, poppy, put together these are things directing the search and we also those conducting the search, law enforcement and agents on the ground, they are thinking about each one of these factors as they are out there looking for this person. you know, knowing that he has recently gone through -- i say presley. sounds like it was probably in the last few months or sometime this summer that he spent time in a facility. but recently gon

this is laura coates live. it has been 24 hours since that stark warning from israel's military. the warning for more than a million people living in northern gaza to leave their homes. essentially get out or else. well, we don't actually know how the people can really get out and we don't actually exactly know what the what else or or else will really mean but that means 24 hours now of desperation, of terror, of fear. people who are caught in the middle with nowhere else to go and then to complicate and confuse this even further, hamas is telling the people to stay where they are, so how do the people in the region even know who to listen to? well, here's what we do know right now, gaza is bracing for a potential large-scale ground operation against hamas in the wake of the deadly terror attacks in israel just last week. now, it's not clear, sitting here today, how many hostages may be held captive in gaza. president joe biden said this about the missing american hostages. >> we're going to do everything in our power to find them, i'm not going to go into the detail of that, bu

. >> i am laura coates, everyone. and listen, right now you are looking at capitol hill. that's the home of the united states house of representatives, call the people's house, the place where you would expect the people that you elected to legislate your actual priorities. you are number one is supposed to be their number one. let me ask how many of you out there, at a party, as your top priority or even on your bingo card today, nancy pelosi getting kicked out of her office in the capital building. anyone? anyone? i did not think so. but tonight, sources tell cnn that the now former speaker mccarthy, who is behind the interim speaker patrick mchenry's move to kick former speaker nancy pelosi out of office space. it's things like this that drive voters crazy. you are telling me that, within hours of throwing out the speaker, with no clear succession plan, 44 days away from yet another manufactured -- government shutdown with concerns over the economy looming, border, national security, funding for ukraine, that all of that -- that was the priority? so, this is what we ca

laura coates spoke with a feature writer for "the washington post" about perry's role on screen and struggle with askiks off screen. >> almost feels odd. i'm sitting here thinking about a life that's lost and so many people are remembering him with a smile. we are seeing him on the screen. the photographs with his co-stars. we are seeing that, you know, the closed mouth, witty, mischievous, smug and fun smile he had and characterized him and there is something about a person like him who was on air for as long as he was, such an conviction role, people can't help but smile reminiscing about what he meant to their childhood, their teenage years, young adulthood, their adulthood and what his role meant to them. >> right. yeah, i mean, this show was really pure joy and what i think -- thinking about "friends," for many years not a lot happened on "friends." if you think about it, remember what shock it was when they finally put chandler and monica together because, you know, you love the sort of routines and the little, you know, they got themselves into fixes, they got themselves out of fixes.

>> i'm laura coates, tragic breaking news tonight at least 22 people have been killed. multiple shootings in lewiston mean dozens injured at this very moment. a manhunt is on the way for a person of interest seen on the screen. please identify him tonight as 40 year old robert card. and they say that he should be considered armed and dangerous. >> approximately 6:56 this evening, shooting incident occurred here with multiple casualties. in the city lewiston. police are currently searching for a robert our car. four for 1983. he's considered armed and dangerous. he's a person of interest however and that is what we will label at moving forward. until that changes. if people see him they should not approach or make contact with him in any way. >> let's talk now with cnn security correspondent josh campbell. i will lean in early to your fbi shops as well because your experience is so vital right now is an ongoing manhunt. we do not know where this suspect is. we've been told where he is. this is a very fluid situation and everybody is trying to assess people injured. tell

laura coats is with us as well. what does this tell you about the kind of evidence that jack smith's team has amassed in this case, at least so far? >> we've all been wondering about the role mark meadows was going to play in the overall evidence to a grand jury and ultimately at a trial. in fact, it's one of the reasons people sort of scratched their head quizicly for a second when they heard about the fulton county charges against mark meadows because everyone assumed meadows was a cooperator in the january 6th investigation and probe by jack smith, assumed there might have been some sort of discussion between fani willis and jack smith. we know there was no requirement that they had to communicate, but one wondered about that very aspect of it. but this tells you that they are looking to have direct evidence of what donald trump said, what he thought, and what he intended to do based on information in realtime. we can often talk about how difficult it is to try to prove somebody's state of mind. trying to get ins

laura coates spoke with someone in the community as it unfolded last night. >> what did you tell your daughter who was with you? i can't imagine as a mother how to make sense of it and to relay that to a child. >> i mean, we have open dialogue. so we talked about it. she started crying and saying this is a scary world we live in, mom. and i'm like i know. and my older kids were talking about getting backpacks, the bulletproof backpacks because it seems like there is always some sort of threat at the school. just starting to be -- stuff like that gets real when something so big happens. like okay, that really could be our school next. >> every mother's who nightmare including mine. there is a press conference set for 10:30 this morning where we expect to get more details. but let's -- we're joined now by law enforcement analyst andrew mccabe who is up early with us to try to help us understand a little bit more of what is unfolding right now. we're just getting this information in, but law enforcement in maine has put out a remarkable amount of information about the person of interest.

tonight on laura coates live. well, he is still out there. somewhere. and he is armed, dangerous. the gunman who killed 18 people in lewiston, maine. law enforcement is urgently searching for robert card, the person you see on the screen there at this very moment. and we are more than 24 hours after those fateful shots rang out in a bowling alley and also at a bar and grill. it left at least 18 people dead and another 13 injured. earlier tonight investigators said they detected something inside or near the home. they don't know what or who they may have been detecting. they warned on a loudspeaker at one point, come out with your hands up. there was no response. and now card is still on the loose. imagine what it would be like to be in the area of lewiston tonight. fearing that the suspect in the killing of your neighbors, your friends, loved ones, is out there. somewhere under the cover of, now, darkness. the police do not know for sure where this man is right now, but they do know he is a trained fire arms instructor, a member of the united states army reserves, and he's one of
