a pr stunt wrapped in a lawsuit we've seen this before from the former president he went after letitia james herself suing her. he went after hillary clinton suing her. when he went after hillary clinton the judge there was judge middlebrooks down in my neck of the woods in west palm beach. he was so angered by that lawsuit he threw it out and imposed serious sanctions against the lawyers, so that made trump dismiss the lawsuit against letitia james because he got the same judge, judge middlebrooks he could pull the same judge who will not have any patience for this on the other hand, he could also get judge canon, the federal judge down in south florida who got involved in the mar-a-lago documents matter and then was repudiated by the 11th circuit look, this lawsuit is going nowhere. i liken this to a bee. after it stings, it dies >> that's an interesting analogy. let me ask you about two sort of other legal mattersmism how could the criminal case against trump in manhattan that letitia james is pursuing, how could that in any way impact the civil lawsuit filed by the new york attorney gene

the attorney general, letitia james, said trump exaggerated his net worth by over $1 billion.kes are still high. she is seeking a quarter of $1 billion in restitution and wants to buy the family from running a business in new york or buying commercial real estate here for five years. well, as donald trump's motorcade arrived at the ag's officers it was greeted with shouts of new york hates you buy a small number of people gathered. his lawyer, lena hubbard, that he was eager to testify and remains resolute and he says that he has nothing to conceal. the last time tom was deposed in august he invoked his fifth amendment right against self—incrimination more than 440 times in response to questions. and, as usual, trump took to social media to lash out, he attacked the ag, letitia james, slamming her as racist and the case is ridiculous. he also said he would show her what a great, profitable, and valuable company he had built. the trial indicator scheduled to begin in october. nada tawfik reporting there in new york. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. ukrainia

[applause] hopefully don't have that problem. letitia james about to use every area of the law to investigate president trump and his business transactions. those transactions are going

but letitia james, who is the attorney general in new york brought a very detailed civil case, not a criminal case, but a civil case against donald trump, the trump organization, various family members alleging fraud and it was an incredibly detailed scheme about essentially inflating your assets when you're going to banks and seeking, wanting to get loans because the the banks like to see that you have lots of assets but when it came time to deal with the tax authorities where you don't wanna pay taxes suddenly there's assets are devalued and you have a lot of debt on your books. and so that is basically the, you know, the sort of nutshell of what the scheme is and then letitia james in her complaint details it in all sorts of ways. - so you think his business practices are on the table? - i think they could very well be something that is still under investigation. - in new york, falsifying a business record is a misdemeanor but it can be raised to a felony charge if the falsified records are intended to further or conceal another crime. now, trump was charged with 34 felony counts,

he called letitia james a racist and said that he has built some of the finest companies in the world. he looks forward to talking about it once he got into the building, chris, his attorney issued a statement and i should read it for you. i think we've got a full screen of it. it says president trump is not only willing but also eager to testify before the attorney general today. he remains resolute in his stance that he has nothing to conceal, and he looks forward to educating the attorney general about the immense success of his multibillion dollar company. maybe he is talking about some of the questions that she's interested in. we'll find out at some point >> yeah, barbara, i mean, after taking the fifth 400 times back in august, i think, you know, the natural thought would be, well, how much is he going to talk about today, but his own statement, his lawyer's statement seemed to indicate maybe he is answering some questions. what do you think is going on in there? >> well, it's hard to say. what donald trump says publicly is likely to bear very little resemblance to what he says

>> reporter: well, we know that will letitia james, the new york state attorney general wants to ask him questions about this civil lawsuit that she's filed against him claiming that he engaged in a habitual routine habit of filing false claims about the value of his properties in order to get good bank loans, and that would be on hotels, high-rises and golf courses. it also names trump, his three oldest children and the trump organization, and as she's found that there's merit on this, she's seeking $250 million in damage as well as something like a five-year ban on trump doing any sort of real estate deals in the state of new york. now, whether he will answer questions about that or not, as he did not answer questions when he was deposed back in august, he took the fifth amendment, which is his legal right to do so, but he was talking last night and this morning on social media. he called letitia james the attorney general here, he said that she is racracist he said this and all the investigations against him are ridiculous he said that this is also a part of an effort to engage in

letiti letitia james apparently getsie. royalties up next, we got pictures of the left's latest political darling duringest poli the twenty twenty blm riots. you're not going to believe this. leo 2.0, terrellm rients, david. they weigh in when we comeith us back . stay with us. stay with us. there are some things that go better together. hey, conside like your workplacb benefits and retirement benefits and retirement savings,e all your financial choices together and help you be bettere prepared for unexpected events for brightertzt combo. financia. thanks. >> oh, pretzel and mustard. another great combo boya well planned. well invested. well protected. >> my name is dr. roger bond. i've been in practice for around thirty years now. one of the products that i recommend to my patients i highly recommend is getting balance of nature into their diet and getting more fruits vegetables. back in the early 2000s, i began to have some respiratory issues that affected my practice and i had to cut back on a lot of things that i enjoy,

this is a civil case and so the record as it stands is all of the proof that is alluded to in letitia jamesive civil complaint is something that can be presented to the judge in addition, she could use the former president's assertion of the fifth amendment. because it's a civil case, that gives her sort of a leg up it's an added inconference that the judge can make because he is asserted the fifth amendment with respect to these questions. that's allowed in a civil case not allowed in a criminal case so for donald trump to prevail, he has to come up with something to counter that. and so he is now testifying in the discovery phase of the case is a way to take away at least that added inference of the assertion of the fifth because now it would be very hard for letitia james to argue that to a judge because he has now answered the questions to which he previously refused to the problem is, did he say anything that could help, for instance, alvin bragg in his pending financial fraud case, because, remember, he said that is still pending and we should also remember we were all, at least i was

the benefit of a lot of fact finding that had been done by the new york state attorney general, letitia james, and the facts that she ultimately found their way into a civil complaint that she filed, which is over 200 pages long and chock full of evidence to these financial statements. but what we discovered was that trump had prepared an annual financial statement because they had to be supplied to banks under loan covenants and for some loans. the banks were willing to make loans based on personal guarantees. but if they were going to get trump's personal guarantee, they wanted a personal financial statement, then that's common banking practice. in the private wealth management industry and section of the bank where he did primarily with deutsche bank. i'm talking about in the years in question. so trump had to provide annual financial under bank policy. they were not the way to include any value attached to brand value. trump did get a letter from a branding company that he would wave around, and i guess at one point he waived it in front of you that indicated his personal brand, the value

. >> bill: former president donald trump appearing before a new york attorney general letitia james, the deposition on whether trump and his three children misrepresented real estate values for tax benefits and favorable loans. bryan, do we know if the president or former president will testify today or plead the fifth? >> well, bill, look, we are getting indication former president trump was prepared to testify in his deposition to new york's attorney general, letitia james. his attorney saying president trump is not only willing but eager to testify before the attorney general today. he remains resolute in his stance he has nothing to conceal and looks forward to educating the attorney general about the immense success of his multi-billion dollars company. the former president left trump tower this morning, put his fist up in the air and waved before his motorcade headed to the a.g. office in downtown manhattan. the deposition is ongoing. a lunch break is expected this hour. the second time trump is sitting for a deposition in this case. last august trump pleaded the fifth, some 40

but also in that social media post, he called letitia james, the attorney general, a racist, he saidolutely ridiculous. and he also said that he thought this was election interference with disparaging remarks that he made out of those who were sitting in the white house saying that they are in some part seemingly responsible for this so, that was his social media posting before he went into the attorney general's office and then this statement was released about him saying the attorneys saying that mr. trump is eager to have a conversation or maybe not so much a conversation, but answer questions it will be interesting to see if he says some of the things that he said about her on his social media platform jose >> and, danny, meanwhile, the former president filed a lawsuit in federal court against his former attorney michael cohen alleging he violated his attorney client relationship by spreading what he called falsehoods about trump what do you make about this? >> everyone should read this complaint. it is publicly available because it really gives us an outline and preview what the

in other words, the criminal component to what letitia james did. if donald trump said something that is any way false and alvin bragg can prove it, his case gets much, much stronger, and many defendants go down because they have a lot of hubris, and they think okay, i can bs my way through this if you get caught with one or two false statements that the d.a. can prove, that case gets much, much stronger. >> have you ever sent arrogant people to jail >> i used to prosecute basically a bunch of rich, white executives, and many of them, almost because of the nature of their work, are sort of type "a" people who sort of feel like they can control everything, and that is a really hard client to have, as danny knows when you are a defense lawyer you really need to control those people and reign them in from their world impulses so here, if that is going to be the issue -- there's one really really dangerous third rail, which is, is he going to say something that the d.a. can show is false and because of his hubris he thinks he's not going to get caught >

it is what letitia james and the da promised their base in their election campaigns. get trump.ruth is the ruling class in this country, make no mistake, the leftist politics, they are the class in america today. the ruling class has been trying to get trump since day one. you saw it with the russia collusion hoax. you saw it with impeachment. you saw it in 2020 bearing evidence of biden corruption. it was non-stop from the moment trump showed himself. in politics, the media, corporate america. the durbin to crush and humiliate you anyone in its orbit or anyone that supports him. they say it is because he was a threat to democracy. they are the ones that silenced and abused the fbi and the justice system to pursue political rivals. they say it's because they have extreme policies. they are the ones parenting trump now on china manufacturing. now even the border. for good goodness sakes they call trump a bigot yet he was a first that supported yay marriage. as though those in power today embarrassingly superficial. the real reason they are sold to mentally determine to get trump

before his deposition, his little thumb took a trip, letitia james, accused of fraud and he wrote, il be heading downtown to meet with a racist who leaked that i would be there at 9:30 a.m. trump is upset because usually when he meets racists, they do it at home at mar-a-lago. but this case is one of many trump is facing. trump now has more active cases in new york than covid does. [laughter] we also got insight into what is going on with the special counsel. they are set to be looking at trump's attempts to fundraise of his false election fraud claims and they are asking witnesses about trump's handling of a map that had classified information on -- he was reportedly showing a classified map around people who do not have security clearance like a big orange dora the explorer or something. and that is specifically mentioned as a violation of laws against espionage, which is punishable by up to 10 years in prison. i really think at this point the only crime trump has not been charged with is aiming a laser pointer at an aircraft because he has covered everything. yesterday, trump file

others and if they can't find a black person to demonize or threaten whether it be alvin bragg, o letitia jamese two young lawmakers in tennessee they will absolutely do so are you seeing that same thing i'm seeing, congresswoman? >> oh, my god, reveren sharpton you know, the only thing that' so incredible about it is that they're not even trying to b sneaky about it anymore, o hide it, just straight-up whit supremacy, because they're desperate. i mean, they are so desperat to retain power, you know, you hear their chants about we wil not be replaced. they see that more black and brown people are gaining i population, and electoral power, and political power. and we need to do the righ thing. they think it's more important to just buoy those who are - about campaign finance law, on of the things that has stumble me to death is to hear peopl like pence, and talking abou donald trump ought not to be fined or charged with campaign finance laws in 1988, before i even too office, i got to campaig finance violations for not reporting to the nations withi 24 hours, the week leading u to the state asse

time talking about the civil case against his company headed by new york state attorney general letitia jamesw, that case does not involve jail time. he talked about the investigation into the mar-a-lago documents investigated by federal prosecutor and independent counsel jack smith as well. >> we have this jack smith lunatic threatening people every single day through his representatives, they're threatening jail terms. talk about trump and you'll go free. this is where we are as a nation. who would have thought? >> there are four major criminal investigations, two major civil lawsuits that trump has to worry about. the documents and whether he obstructed justice by denying he had them even after the government knew he had them is the major case, so, too, is the georgia election interference case. trump campaign is selling t-shirts with the former president's mug shot, they're $36, 100% cotton. there is no mug shot. there never was a mug shot taken. trump, according to medical records, is 6'3", they've got him at 6'5". >> thank you very much, scott. >>> it is 5:37. happening nod, house speak

eight hours -- eight hours sitting for a deposition the latest update in new york attorney general letitia james' $250 million lawsuit alleging fraud in term trump's real estate business. james has said trump and three of his children overvalued assets by billions of dollars to secure loans trump arrive at the manhattan office just after 9:30 a.m. and was seen leaving after 6:00 p.m. a spokesperson for the attorney general's office said trump spoke a lot during the deposition, but it's unclear what he was asked.

for the second time in the new york state attorney general's sweeping fraud lawsuit in september letitia james formed a massive 2$250 million civil fraud lawsuit accusing trump, his adult children, and his organization of staggering fraud for overvaluing their assets by billions trump before that deposition he made sure this morning to call a.g. james a racist because that appears to be his main line of defense here once he arrived at the a.g.'s office he was greeted with chants of new york hates you and then he spent nearly the entire day behind doors. the spokesperson for the new york a.g.'s office said trump spoke a lot, which is quite different from the last time he was deposed. just two days after the fbi searched trump's florida home for classified documents, trump sat for a deposition where he invoked the fifth amendment nearly 450 times >> i respectfully decline to answer the questions under the rights and privileges afforded to every citizen under the united states constitution this will be my answer to any further questions. >> you're currently the president of the trump organization

worried about is he's dealin with pincers closing in on him he's got the deposition toda have letitia jamesproject some strength by saying, i'm not going to go in there and take the fifth amendment or at least his lawyer sai that we don't know really happene there today. and trying to project some sor of image that he is not faze by this, he's going to tell it like it is but the fact is that he is fazed by it. that's why his lawyers are asking the judge in the e. jea carroll case to delay it and much of what they ar relying on suggests -- needs to be delayed is a valid trump's own doing. in addition to the cases against him he's daily, almost hourly, still putting ou social media posts criticizing prosecutors for being fake prosecutors, for engaging in election interference by bringing lawsuits. and he himself is bringing new lawsuits, just the other day suing michael cohen to try t prevent his testimony -- i say prevent it that's not the cause of action is but i think he's hoping that i will intimidate michael cohe into not testifying. and i think he's hoping to get his narrative out by fi
