"attorney general letitia 'peekaboo' james." no idea. looked all over the internet, there is no explanation for why he's calling her "peekaboo." maybe he meant "pikachu?" i don't know. [ laughter ] "peekaboo james is a total crime fighting disaster in new york, is spending all of her time fighting for very powerful and well-represented banks and insurance companies who were fully paid, made a lot of money, and never had a complaint about me, instead of fighting murder and violent crime, which is killing new york state. she is a failed a.g. whose lack of talent in the fight against crime is causing record numbers of people and companies to flee new york. bye, bye!" [ laughter ] peekaboo and "bye bye." oh, you know what, he must be spending time with his granddaughter before he goes to jail. [ laughter ] how sweet.

you have to understand right now, look at letitia james who is weaponized in office? my office has limitations as well, but we have to make sure we get the big county attorneys elected all across the state and country. i'm honored to have the endorsement of every single law enforcement organization in arizona and i think what you see right now is the police backing candidates but we recognize all of us in every democrat elected with county attorney positions or district attorney positions are george soros funded and have an agenda. even san francisco had to get rid of george soros prosecutor a few months ago. i'm optimistic for the future but as attorney general, what i have been calling for here in arizona is to give the authority to the attorney general's office to take over the felony cases, that the county needs to prosecute. >> todd: thank you for coming on the program, we will be watching. >> carley: so signs to trump abe hamadeh. >> todd: a cafe destroyed with smashed in, spray paint over the walls and furniture inside. >> carley: the owner said it is retaliati

yesterday, the new york attorney general, letitia james, held a press conference to announce a massiveident's business. ( cheers and applause ) for repeatedly lying about the value of his assets, in order to defraud the banks who were giving him loans. but on "hannity," the former president trotted out a water-tight defense: "the banks should have known i'm a liar." >> we have a disclaimer right on the front, and it basically says, you know, get your own people. you're at your own risk. this was done by management. it wasn't done by-- it was done by management, so don't rely on the statement that you're getting. ( laughter ) >> stephen: then why have a statement? what kind of excuse is that? "we put on the standard disclaimer: i am lying." i would love to see him close a business deal. "shall we shake on it? psych!" now, what's this? what's-- is this happening right now? this is happening right now. i am being told there's breaking squirrel news. take a look at this footage that went viral this week, of a pennsylvania man at home, trying to conduct a work zoom call. >> let's just get i

to evade responsibility in the $250 million lawsuit since days before letitia james' office filed. trump org representatives created a new company with the very same name in delaware. the same day the civil lawsuit was announced they filed paperwork to register trump organization 2 llc in new york. it's a question we ask again and again, is that legal? we'll have our top legal friends ready to answer that. of all the areas of grave legal concern for donald trump, no story is more explosive for him right now than the developments in the investigation surrounding the classified documents seized by the fbi at mar-a-lago in august. shortly after the supreme court rejected 9-0 yesterday donald trump's emergency request to allow a special master to review the documents, we learned of a key witness in the probe. quote, a 39-year-old navy veteran who went with trump from the oval office to mar-a-lago after his presidency told fbi agents he moved boxes of documents at trump's request. even just one of these scandals might have been the end of donald trump's political prospects. taken togeth

he invoked the fifth many times when he appeared before letitia james.that road, he is willing to continue. it seems more likely to me he will use whatever tactics he can to stall, at least run out the clock until after the midterm elections and after the new congress is seated in january in hopes they will disband. he doesn't want to be under the glaring lights. >> peter, trump was not without controversy just this weekend facing backlash after he posted the attack of american jews on his social media site. no president has done more for israel than i have. our wonderful evangelicals are far more appreciative of this than the jews. they have to get their act together and appreciate what they have in israel before it's too late. i mean, his argument in the past has been that his son-in-law, daughter and grandchildren are jewish. you can put it in the context of everything he says and does could potentially have an impact on the midterms. >> well, it speaks for himself. use people need to be grateful to him in large categories defined by religion, ethnici

before letitia james, he pleaded the fifth 400 times. he didn't font -- if he's talking, they may let him talk. i think the bottom line is, having him in the room under any condition is a win for them. he may want to use it for his purposes if it ever got that far. i think that would be part of the deal. >> we know the doj's investigation is ongoing is happening right now when it comes to the documents that were seized at mar-a-lago. i do want to talk about the reporting that you have when it comes to a special master. trump's brief to the appeals court is june a temper time, a court panel could hear arguments in late november december. of course referring specifically to those 11,000 or so unclassified documents, that the special master is currently reviewing. we know the doj wants the special master to be dropped altogether. that aside the, what is the real timeline for when those documents could be returned to the doj, to further their investigation? >> this is the big question. if the special master goes to completion. he probably we

amendment right, more than 400 times and he was deposed but the new york state attorney general letitia james and our investigation and handed his business. that is just one of a half a dozen civil or criminal cases involving trump at the moment, and things are not looking great for him. this week, the supreme court rejects the trump team's emergency repeal regarding the special master at the mar-a-lago case. and yesterday, the department justice seize on its latest legal victory and filed a new appeal to look at the special master in toss-up trump's lawsuit all the other. then trump has evaded responsibility for his actions for most of his life and career, but his inexcusable hoarding of government records in the segment of the january 6th insurrection has left him vulnerable. while trump privately acknowledges last in the 2020 presidential election, he continued to publicly found the flames by falsely claiming that he had one. repeating baseless election fraud claims, and as the january 6th committee has laid out with plenty of evidence in a series of hearings, those false claims led to the

>> well, remember that letitia james has a large, large civil lawsuit, not criminal but civil lawsuitrump organization. and the trump individuals as well. and so she could take a lot of the testimony under oath here and use that potentially in her civil case. now, she knows a lot about what is going on because she has prosecutors working with the d.a. on this very case. again, what happens under oath at trial is sometimes a little bit different from what you've heard before. yes, there are ramifications. and there are also ramifications for other jurisdictions. they will hear many for the first time, testimony under oath, that is going to be testimony that they could potentially use in their own cases against the trump organization or potentially the former president. >> so, carol, stay with me because i want to talk about another high profile trial in los angeles where one of hollywood's most were powerful players is facing a sentence that could put him in jail for the rest of his life. opening arguments have begun in the second sexual assault trial of harvey weinstein who faces 11 c

you have the new york attorney general, letitia james, and governor kathy hochul releasing this reportadicalizing the buffalo shooter who shot up a supermarket earlier this year in that hate crime. your reaction to that? >> yeah, so, the whole first half of my book is how the confederates never stopped fighting, starting with assassinated lincoln five days after supposedly surrendering, and all the way up to january 6th. and i talk about how there is a consistent confederate battle plan with multiple dimensions to it. and one of the elements of it, in addition to distorting public opinion and never giving an inch, is silently sanctioning terrorism. and at every level, they have been silently sanctioning terrorism, sometimes not-so-silently, as when donald trump told the proud boys stand back and stand by in a national presidential debate. as i was saying that at the top, that the two, four years ago, trump began the beating, fanning the flames that led to the white domestic terrorism that took place at tree of life synagogue. so, it's a long-standing core part of their battle plan to i

that federal civil case, which is an sdny, that's being handled by the new york attorney general, letitia jamesas two years ago. that with how conservative activists were handling the run up to the vote in 2020. and these are the consequences, that as of today, are just now starting to face, for the fact that what they decided would be their game plan back in 2020 happened to be as fantastically illegal as it was disgusting. their first felony guilty plea today in ohio. we will find out about the prison time for them next month. that was 2020. that's how long it took to resolve that. now, here we are in 2022. and this time, it looks more like this. >> i have been so pleased to hear of all you vigilantes out there that want to cap out at these trump boxes, right?

amendment right nearly 40 and 50 times when he was deposed by new york state attorney general letitia james and her investigation of him and his business. that's just one of half a dozen civil or criminal cases involving trump at the moment. things aren't looking great for him. just this week, supreme court rejected the trump team's emergency appeal to have a special master view the classified government documents at the fbi retreat from mar-a-lago in august. just yesterday, the justice department seized on its latest legal history of the supreme court, and filed a new appeal to get rid of the special master and trot out trump's lawsuit altogether. that's no secret that donald trump and the law don't get along all that well. he plays fast and loose with the facts every time he opens his mouth or every time you put something online. his reckless disregard for the truth led to the violence on january six, underscored buys almost complete silence and absence that afternoon, as the capital was under siege. thursday, the committee shared incredible never before seen footage of congressional lead

exactly like he did more than 400 times when he finally landed in the witness chair of the new york letitia james civil investigation. >> given how unlikely it is that trump will as glenn put it put his butt in the chair to answer questions, why carole was it important for the committee to make this move? liz cheney went on tonight to say that there was no disagreement within the committee about getting trump to testify. >> we'll, if you have spent this many months investigating the actions of donald trump and if you have turned your lens as the committee did over and over again to trump's actions, trump's role in inciting a group of people, and lighting the match that brought people to the capital and a violent way with weapons, if you are focusing so much on that person it is not only fair and appropriate to then let them have their say, and given that opportunity, and also ask as many of the lawmakers told here that the washington report, ask donald trump to correct that which he believes is an accurate about the presentation the committee is made. that's just good old fashioned fairness and a
