we took a screen shot of it, and it said, my fantasy, i would like to see letitia james and judge engoron placed under citizens arrest for blatant

maria: we heard from ag letitia james she talks a lot and trump is not allowed. >> we have a gag order to and we've seen this on many cases of his you know jack smith moved for the same thing. and it's really, you know, it's a first amendment right he's also leading candidate, he has a right to speak he should speak about anybody and anything that he sees that's corrupt. but we do even i have a limited gag order. maria: you have been complaining about judge's clerk and you say that the judge is compromised in the clerk appears compromised. tell me why. >> i actually tell you why because i'm gagged -- i can tell you that, you know, we'll be filing papers to address all of the those issues, and the fact that frankly maria i can't discuss it with you and i'm his spokeswoman i'm his attorney says a lot what about judicial system state of our judicial system right now. maria: i did see there were donations that could see supportive to the democrat that is one issue are you going to file to get a mistrial? >> yes. maria: when will you today? >> very soon. maria: and change things from day on

in spite of the fact we heard letitia james say again, going into court today, she was very involvedall of this in the family business. we saw in the paperwork that was presented today that she was involved in these deals, but are there really no legal ramifications for her even in the way trump valued his properties including her own apartment. is this really more about her personal life and the brand that is trump that has been very good to her, frankly? >> absolutely. so she's no longer a defendant in this case based on the statute of limitations. so she's not going to have any money coming out of her own checking account or savings account, but to the extent that this litigation has the potential to crush the trump organization in new york and letitia james is trying to prevent the defendants, donald trump senior and his adult sons from ever doing business in the city again, in the state again, and that clearly would have a devastating impact on ivanka's financial situation. >> peter, for the former president and his two sons, the ramifications obviously are huge. they still rely

>> we are expecting to hear from the attorney general herself, letitia james, who has been seated in front row of that courtroom for the last several hours, listening to this testimony, at times laughing at some of the answers that trump had that were directed toward her, saying that she didn't know where one of the properties he was being questioned about was located here in new york. obviously she's the attorney general for new york. she is about to come down the steps and it's notable to hear what she is going to say. i can see her staffing line up at the microphones. they have indicated she will be coming over to speak to reporters once she's outside of the courthouse. she spoke briefly on her way in and predicted what the former president was going to say before he walked into the courtroom, including an attack on her. he called her a racist attorney general, something he has said repeatedly on social media. she noted that was likely to come. it will be interesting to see what she says once he comes out, because so much of the focus today has been on the back and forth, understa

attorney general letitia james took note of ivanka trump's responses. >> ivanka trump was cordial. she was disciplined. she was controlled. and she was very courteous. but her testimony raises some questions with regards to its credibility. >> ivanka trump was key in the loop, a central player, something that her father loved to brag about. >> ivanka is really in charge of that one. and she's done an amazing job. and it's going to be one of the most beautiful -- >> one of the reasons i think ivanka can tell you this is that we had a better concept because that was a highly sought-after project. ivanka, don, eric, they are very, very ensconced in the company. >> ensconced. in a 2013 interview with "forbes," trump went on to say of ivanka, quote, she was always a natural-born dealmaker, but she's become a very good builder and manager. ivanka trump's role, in fact, did expand, in part, because she built a brand on knowing small but important details about the project she was working on over many years i would hear this about people who interacted with her, specifics about room rates

he accuses letitia james and the judge either he accuses letitia james and thejudge either anger he accusesof a broader political witch—hunt. james who trump has caught up in a mess and racist sued the former president under a new york law that gives her office power to investigate and prosecute corporate fraud. trump is the front runner in the republican race for the 2024 presidential elections. it is a scam, political interference, it is a fight against a political opponent that's leading the polls. this is a scam — that's leading the polls. this is a scam case. _ that's leading the polls. this is a scam case. the - that's leading the polls. this is a scam case. the judge had is a scam case. thejudge had already ruled the former president and his sons and the wider trump organization lied about the values of properties such as trump towers. the case will determine the penalties if any. donald trump is facing multiple cases on both criminal and civil fronts including multiple cases on both criminal and civilfronts including for trying to overturn a 2020 us presidential election. but israel

when it comes to the numbers as letitia james was talking about.e are inconsistent of what a detailed accounting would reflect. that's something that has to be explained. his degree of knowledge about those numbers and what was being submitted all have to be vasheously defended here. >> harris: would the accountants hold culpability as one of his sons said in court. >> don junior made a strong case for the fact he relied upon the accountants and lawyers. i have to agree with him. i think absolutely these are business people who have professionals that they rely on and very normal. at the end of the day it is the executives in the companies signing these documents and there is responsibility that comes along with that. that line in the sand is something that is a very nuanced legal issue. again donald trump i think has a strong case where there are no victims here and there are no losses as a result of the numbers or the fraud that letitia james says occurred here. >> harris: thank you very much for your expertise on that always. this is a breaking

what do you have to say about letitia james? this is personal.t, harold? >> i follow this in the press. i read some of the motions because i was curious. three takeaways. i don't think most people know that the facts of this case -- the judge gave -- the attorney general argument wins. there has been fraud. they appealed. they lost the appeal. this is about the penalty phase. the only person who is going to decide has any say so and what the penalty for president trump is the judge. i would probably come out that's a little differently. i might be criticizing letitia james for bringing the case. he has every right to do that. i don't understand why you would go after the judge as viciously as he is. finally, people are criticizing letitia james for being political and campaigning on the back that she was going to go after president trump. i am like dana on two things. i'm old-fashioned about the courtroom. i'm old-fashioned. i don't think judges and top prosecutors out to be elected. i think we ought to have a different way of doing it. they run

fraud in the case as part of a $250 million lawsuit brought forward by new york attorney general letitia james. she accused trump of inflating his assets, including mar-a-lago, trump tower, and his seven springs family estate by over $2 billion in order to gain better financial terms. >> that by overvaluing his properties, that he was going to get a better deal from the banks or a better deal from the insurance companies. that is illegal. the normal person cannot inflate value of properties in order to get a benefit. >> reporter: trump and his sons have blamed their accounting firm mazars for any errors. >> it's a case that should've never been brought. >> reporter: when asked about the charges today, trump erupted, calling valuations of mar-a-lago disgraceful. "she should be ashamed of herself" trump said of james, who spoke outside the court. >> the numbers don't lie. and mr. trump obviously can engage in all of these distractions, and that is exactly what he did. >> reporter: but amid the clashes, trump notably knowledge that he has a hand in his properties evaluations, saying "i would look

maria: it's pretty incredible that trump is facing the constitutional gag order letitia james can say whatever she wants. she said trump rambled and the judge said i'm not here to hear from him. they can say whatever they want but trump can't say anything he has a gag order. >> letitia james goes to the microphone every day after. talking about the legal side but the business side and this is why it looks like a politically motivated trial in a case. both don jr. and eric were on the stand last week and they said this is about accounting that we inflated the value of the business and inflated the value of the buildings et cetera but we hired accountants, that's not our job were not accountants there the accountants. as a strong business defense being overshadowed by the fact that it is the former president and it is letitia james it appears like this is very politically motivated and she is enjoying her time in the spotlight right now. maria: for sure. >> this is unprecedented election interference buyer leading candidate in the gop and the judge showed the american people who he is h

said "i think this is a political witch hunt" and she should be ashamed of herself, talking about letitia james, the fraud is here, apparently james, as john mentioned, has been in the courtroom every day, stared straight at the former president as he spoke and said those words. andy, if you could, stand by with us as our coverage continues here. >> john: kerri kupec urbahn, you've been inside the courtroom all morning, you can bring us some color at some points, looked more like a wwe event than a courtroom proceeding. >> you know, in the last hour the former president was pretty composed, restrained from him but toward the end getting angry and on what nate foy reported and andy mccarthy, he says the fraud is not his end but the court's end. and i was sitting watching him and thinking imagine a small town where the speed limit is 55 miles an hour and everyone goes 65 miles an hour and it's always been that way and no one has been pulled over or arrested. a new sheriff comes to town and says you know what, i don't like that john doe guy and i'm going to start enforcing the law specifically aga

i think letitia james is deserving of some criticism here. two things can be true. donald trump was involved in a massive fraud and letitia james politicized this case. she ran -- that's not an opinion. that's a fact. she ran, vote for me, i'll nail trump. she fund raised on it. she was tweeting throughout the testimony saying in her tweets, she's lying. you cannot do that. as an attorney general, she's not acting as a prosecutor here, but she's enforcing the law. you can't tweet to the public while someone is testifying, that's a lie. i don't think that would be tolerated under normal circumstances. >> social media is a problem. it really is a problem. i didn't know she was tweeting throughout. i thought the statements she made at the end of the case, i thought that was entirely appropriate. she didn't get into any details. she said, we have a strong case. the numbers are what they are. i did not know that. social media, just so, i think, is such a problem when it comes to handling these trials. >> yeah. we tried to ask her questions. she did not take the bait on t

>> i'm going to go with new york attorney general, letitia james. huge settlement that she just won four left and uber drivers. 300 and $28 million in a wage theft case against the companies. just a massive -- another victory for american workers. i think. but these drivers are now going to be back at the wages that they deserve. letitia james is just hailing the business of new yorkers every day. >> i'm going to do mclaughlin group. wrong, i won the week. i want to wake, i got to interview the amazing leslie jones on my podcast. a word this week on slate. please check it out. she's fantastic, amazing, her brand-new book leslie effing jones is out now. by it, it's as funny as she is in person. fernand amandi and adrianne shropshire, thank you so much. that's tonight's read out. all in with chris hayes starts right now. right now. >> tonight on all in. but >> israel has not only the right, but the obligation to defend itself. america's

if you have followed the history of letitia james. when she was running to be the a.g.e microphone numerous times saying she would get trump and the basis for her campaign. she said democrats in new york were tired of him and have the justice she felt he deserved. it was a part of her campaign as she heads into the courtroom today to meet her moment. she will have him on the stand in minutes. >> dana: she will be in the courtroom and been there every day. as i mentioned before she came to the microphone it is unusual. often you'll have your office that you can delegate to, right? so i could say bill, you will handle this case for me, charlie do this one for me. she has been there every single day and led some to say she is being very political here but also put her name on the line and trying to see if she can bring this to fruition. ivanka trump will testify on wednesday. apparently reports are president trump is very frustrated his children have been brought into this. eric and donald trump junior testified last week. >> bill: with the poll came out donald trump beati

cs >>> when donald trump sat for his first deposition last year in new york attorney general letitia james' probe into the trump business's practices he invoked the fifth amendment a lot, nearly 450 times. a smart move however, because it seems any time trump speaks under oath, he can't help bum incriminate himself. it is who he is. yesterday, trump did not invoke his fifth amendment right against self incrimination. and considering that it is a civil triem, it would have been seen negatively by the judge, but perhaps he should have considered it because beyond the theatrics of the day from trump, including attacking both letitia james and judge arthur engoron from the witness stand, trump made a critical admission that is at the tart of the case. trump admitted that the intent in providing the false financial statements with trump's personal guarantee was to induce banks to loan him money. as the new republic puts it, while it might not sound like much, the admission is key to the new york attorney general's case which hopes to prove trump deceived banks and insurers by overvaluing his ne

but, also, letitia james, i think it's important we focus on what happens when you have somebody who is an elected officer who is bringing charges. one reason people will oftentimes villainize and criticize elected prosecutors is because, during the campaign trail, they will select a target. they want a villain. the one of her choosing was donald trump. and for that reason, the attorneys with trump have the requisite amount of evidence and ammunition to suggest that she is biased and that is feeding into the bias of the base. >> everyone stand by. we have a lot more going on. we've just learned, by the way, that the court is in recess for lunch until 2:15 p.m., about 45 minutes or so from now. we're following all of these late, breaking developments. stay with us. our special coverage will continue. you're probably not easily persuaded to switch mobile providers for your business. but what if we told you it's possible that comcast business mobile can save you up to 75% a year on your wireless bill versus the big three carriers? have we piqued your interest? you can get two unlimited

after that attorney general letitia james says they will rest their case. that's when the defense will take their turn. cries kise, one of trump's attorneys, says he expects it to go until about december 15th or so. that's what the timeline is looking like right now. one more thing on trump's attorneys. chris kise has been the lead attorney on this case. he was commenting on trump's answers today calling them brilliant. he referred to trump as the next president of the united states. he just came outside the court today, even in spite of the brutal back and forth, he said in his 30 years practicing law, he claimed that trump was the best witness he had ever represented. >> kaitlan collins, thanks so much. >>> let's bring in cnn chief legal analyst laura coates. let's start with what we just saw, donald trump left the stand and his team chose not to cross-examine. why? >> it's odd to do so. the purpose is to rehabilitate your client. it's to say, here are things you maybe got wrong or i want to buttress your credibility. that they did not suggests that eithe

all the letitia james startedcia the political rally when she campaigned againmehe on our campaign on going against trump. that was her whole thing. so she reallt s her why started that.is she opened the door for this. so why is it okay for the attorney general of nework t york state to do that, but notar the former president who is ability to make a livingo and do business in new york, not just his own, but for his family. and that's for his o on the line.his >> and i take offense to when she says to male and to pal i take offense to that for all pale males in america. carrie, thank you very much. tell it she said i said hello next time you are here. >> okay. e the transgender school shooter's manifesto right back. pilots are married all around. they're laser focused and determined to perform without excuses. this is their top gun school. those who rise to the occasion prove they are hands down the top combat pilots anywhere. these guys are hard hitting dudes. we're more lethal we've ever been. not everyone makes it through here. this is reputation of not an easy place. you go throug

and so i think he's -- >> that's letitia james, the new york attorney general, who just walked in. >> i think he's conflicted. i think he's conflicted. he said, for example, i made suggestions to the people who worked for him, because he didn't want to appear to be somebody who ran a company and knew nothing about it. that's not part of the image. the image is, i made this company into something great. but by saying he made suggestions, he hurts himself legally in the trial. so it's very difficult, and clearly they are all coming down on the side of, what have you got to lose. >> this whole idea of this being part of business and this is how we do things is sort of the argument that certainly the former president, but for to the point, his sons have made. number one, we're experts here. >> here comes the former president. >> that's what he did the last time, a thumbs up. didn't say anything. >> we're all experts here, and valuing buildings is subjective. so it's a little fuzzy. that's debunked by a lot of evidence presented in the court filings, which is that they're over-valuing buil

letitia james is here in person. whether she asks any questions to donald trump directly is outstanding. so far she's left it up to other prosecutors in her office to ask the questions of witnesses on the stand. i want you to listen to letitia james before she headed into the courtroom. >> before he takes the stand, i am certain that he will engage in name calling and taunts and race-baiting and call this a witch hunt. at the end of the day, the only thing that matters are the facts and the numbers. >> reporter: for donald trump, this follows testimony from his two adult sons, don jr. and eric just this last week. his daughter, ivanka trump, who is not a defendant like her two brothers is set to testify here on wednesday. upon the conclusion of ivanka trump's testimony, we then expect the defense team for donald trump to call its witnesses to the stand for questioning. but for donald trump, he has sat for two depositions already with the new york attorney general's office in 2022. he pleaded the fifth more than 400 t

that was the attorney general letitia james talking about ivanka trump and her testimony.er comments there were actually longer than the comments she made about donald trump before he testified and letitia james the attorney general made clear that she thinks ivanka trump has benefited from the scheme which the trump organization and donald trump have already been found liable for. not letting her off the hook and not differentiating between her and her family. >> but she is not in this case she is not part of this case, but she does have to testify in this case. >> important point. she is not a defendant. >> yes. all right. thank you, john. >>> all right. the five-hour window set up by the israeli military for people in northern gaza to evacuate to southern gaza is now closed. thousands of people took to the streets as the israeli military says its troops are now in the heart of gaza. secretary of state antony blinken seeming to respond to prime minister benjamin netanyahu's remarks about israel having overall security responsibility for gaza when this conflict ends. >> o

i think that the performance that we saw in terms of him attacking letitia james, attacking the judge, describing it all in very political terms, that was all very planned. there's no question about that. and he is, to be clear. he is very very angry about this case. that is real. that i was not surprised by. but i was surprised by some of what he said that he will be used against him as damages are being assessed in this case. now, look, engoron, the judge, clearly has an opinion of trump already. i don't think there's any real question about that. has been questioning his credibility repeatedly. questioned his behavior yesterday. but this will all factor in to what happens next, and then the hope from the trump team is did engoron do things that they can argue on appeal means it should be overturned? they feel pretty good about that. we have to see how that plays out. >> that's a good question, on appeal, if he doesn't prevail, and found civilly liable, do you think engoron and letitia james, the statements prior to the trial, tweeting yesterday calling trump a liar before his testi

testimony that veered off-topic and for lashing out against the court and new york attorney general letitia james. he called her a political hack. james is seeking $250 million after accusing trump, his two oldest sons, the trump organization, and company executives of inflating the value of assets. the judge has already ruled trump is liable for fraud. the trial will determine how much the trump's will pay and damages. we'll have more on the trump civil trial in new york later in the broadcast. in colorado, another police officer has been acquitted in the 2019 killing of elijah mcclain. mcclain's mother sheneen mcclain wept as the jury declared aurora officer nathan woodyard not guilty of homicide and manslaughter. elijah mcclain, a 23-year-old black young man, was walking home from the store when he was tackled by police, placed in a carotid hold, and later injected with the powerful sedative ketamine. woodyard was the officer who put mcclain in a neck hold. just one of the three officers involved in mcclain's killing is facing prison time after being convicted of criminally negligent homicide

letitia james from now to the end of time.is andy weissman's reaction learning that the gag order had been lifted in new york. >> a state court gag order is so limited. this is, you know what? here's how i'm free speech. do not threaten the law clerk. that seems like it shouldn't have to be said. so, that's the only part that's a little surprising. buck threat not concerned about threat to speech. >> donald trump threatening nobody. talking about the political nature of the prosecution. important to him to talk about that to the american people. by the way that, motivates and energizes americans to go, you know what? this is not the system by which we want to live. and if donald trump can't talk about it how do you ever address it. to shut him down is outrageous and, again, good that we have a court that will stand up and go actually, that's too far. that's too much donald trump a's free speech matters in america. is he an american. support it, endorse it and protect it. >> laura: this is why they like president xi. you don't

now the former president is on the witness stand attacking the attorney general, letitia james who brought this case and is seated in that very courtroom. he is calling the investigation disgraceful, he is attacking her as a political hack. at one point, the judge was letting trump essentially continue with these answers because the lawyer for the ag's office was saying, i'm not going to strike that from the record, i'm going to let that stay in because they believe it could potentially be helpful to them. the judge laughed and said okay, and then he continued going on, launching this attack on the attorney general for even prosecuting him in the first place. so essentially it was just a few moments where there had been no attacks, per se, directly from the former president, he was just exaggerating about his properties, talking about why the values were what they were. now it has gotten back to where he is going after the judge and he is going after the attorney general. i think the question is how the judge is going to respond to that because he was quite frustrated with it earlier today

example, look no further than trump's civil trial in new york brought by trump hating activist letitia jamesarthur engram who looks like any random legal panelist on msnbc. he went so far as to mock trump's phrase about the perfect phone call. even using air quotes as he said it. now a conversation with the president. let me get this right. a conversation that the president had with zelenskyy is somehow fair game for a fraud trial that deals with actions years ago? look, i saw this and thought nobody will be surprised by. this this guy is a lefty going back to his days an anti vietnam war protester. we all know what is going on here. no case like this has ever been brought in new york overvaluing assets and they are bringing it now only to try to break trump financially. we know it trump never ran for president they never would have targeted him. never would is happened, prim that fascia pork here. the media has made it very clear to any democrat in the doj or the d.a.'s office around the country. joe biden's political opponents by any means a lot application of the law. that's why they ther

i mentioned that just yesterday, trump called the new york attorney general, letitia james, to be prosecuted. how are all these threats reshaping the political climate in this country, and pushing the boundaries of what we once thought was the limit, what we thought was the appropriate and polite conduct in which we conducted our democracy? >> well, it's still the limit. it just is that donald trump is violating that very very bright line. one of the things that this highlights for me, is the fact that we have elections offices all across the country, that are really starving for cash, ayman. they really need to make sure that they have people on staff who either screen their mail, or that they have appropriate security precautions in place, so that they can do their job. congress actually needs to step up, because in order for our democracy to exist in the most robust way, it also requires a robust level of funding at the state, local, and federal level. right, now we are just not there at all. that, in itself, is actually putting our democracy at risk. because we have so few people now who

. >> new yorkarys ires new yorkers that are paying letitia james.ed hundreds of millions in payroll taxes and employees thousands of employees. today of we had multiple deutsche bank witnesses, testify that it didn't matter his value was so high, even if you cut it in half, he still would have been fine, and touch deutsche bank would have gotten same terms, there is no need to waste taxpayers dollars on this witch-hunt, we have proven the case, there was no fraud, the banks money, the president is more than his statements of financial condition. david: has any bank suggested they lost money because of their dealings with donald trump. >> every bank has made money, there has never been a default, when there were holidays trump organization played early. david: attorney general letitia james brought the case claims that there was probable loss because of the fact that the banks could have made more money on interest, to which you say? >> i say, they all go the paid early -- got paid with interest and early ahead of the loans, assets were worth more th

donald trump made repeated attacks against the attorney general letitia james, as well as the drug directly. one of the two lawyers representing him here inside the courtroom came and spoke from the courtroom steps in which she blasted the judge and james, but i asked her specifically about the judge's suggestion that he would make negative inferences from donald trump's long-winded, quasi tangential answers, instead of concise answers, and she told me when i asked her whether she was urging her client, donald trump, to keep his answers concise, knowing the judge in this case will determine whether the trump organization can exist in new york, and whether they will have to pay the $250 million fine. i asked whether she was urging her client, donald trump, during the lunch break to keep his answers concise this afternoon, and she defiantly told me, no, she would not have signed on to be donald trump's lawyer just to turn around and go and limit his free speech right and his ability to defend himself how he sees fit. those were the words of donald trump's lawyers. the question here in the nex

i should note that we did hear from letitia james, and i wanted to play a few moments of what she said before she went inside of the courthouse. >> this morning, mr. trump will take the stand in our trial against him, the trump organization and other defendants. mr. trump has repeatedly and consistently misrepresented and inflated the value of his assets. and before he takes the stand, i am certain that he will engage in name calling and taunts and race-baiting and call this is a witch hunt. but at the end of the day, the only thing that matters are the facts and the numbers. and numbers, my friends, don't lie. thank you. >> of course, kate and john, about ten minutes after she was before the cameras, he came before the cameras, and called her a racist attorney, and also, the district attorney who is also black, and essentially predicting exactly what he was going to say, and wed will see what happens when he is under oath on the stand. >> and paula reid, the colleagues are saying that donald trump is now on the stand being sworn in. donald trump is now sitting down for this huge -- >>

letitia james in front of the camera. >> mr. can engage in front of you engaging in distractions. that's what he did today. engaging in name calling. i won't be bullied or harassed. this case will go on. we look forward to hearing the testimony of ivanka trump on wednesday and plan on closing our case and then they'll be some motions on thursday and then the defense will present their case in chief. justice will prevail. it's important that all of you understand that we have already been victorious in our motion for summary judgment. now we look forward to discouragement and to the remaining counts in our action against donald trump and his repeated and consistent fraud against the citizens of the great state of new york. >> there's letitia james. she said there's been a fraud against the citizens of new york. they haven't harmed who was in the case of what they claim was inflation of the real estate values by the trump corporation. she said i will not be bullied, i will not be harassed. we remember the video we look at earlier

as letitia james said donald trump will come out and say this is a witch-hunt, judicial prosecution, overreach by political adversaries and his base and viewers conservative television in a conservative media, that is all they're going to say time after time after time, and his folks believe that and they believe he is being unjustly charged. they believe he is taking one for the team because if they would go after him, they will go after them. they believe that. and that really solidifies his support with the base. the problem is that's not true and independent voters and rational republicans realize that's not true. they are going to unfold a very serious case of fraud in this case and people are going to take notice and say, we can turn the page. we have other options. we have a strong republican primary field that is out there campaigning, which should be our nominee moving forward and certainly to take on joe biden. look, i think what david axelrod is saying about biden is accurate. there should be some red flags and concerns about his electability in the general election. we he

but at least for now, letitia james team saying do not take him up on this motion for mistrial. it has no actual standing. if he said in her own words, it has a total lack of merit, and so for now, we're looking to see here what the judge will determine when that hearing will take place. >> vaughn hillyard, thank you so much. >>> we've got another big take away from president biden's meeting from chinese president xi jinping, possible return of pandas to the u.s. we've got more on that when we come back in 60 seconds. at humana, we believe your healthcare should evolve with you, and part of that evolution means choosing the right medicare plan for you. humana can help. with original medicare you're covered for hospital stays and doctor office visits, but you'll have to pay a deductible for each. a medicare supplement plan pays for some or all of your original medicare deductibles, but they may have higher monthly premiums and no prescription drug coverage. humana medicare advantage prescription drug plans include medical coverage, plus prescription drug coverage. and coverage fo

letitia james addressed the cameras before going into court this morning. this is what she said. >> ivanka trump secured, negotiated loans to obtain favorable terms based on fraudulent statements of financial condition. and she will attempt today to distance herself from the company, but unfortunately the facts will reveal that, in fact, she was very much involved. you cannot hide from the truth, and the facts will belie the truth and the evidence. >> reporter: the former president for his part, posting on truth social last night, tomorrow my wonderful and beautiful daughter ivanka is going to the lower manhattan courthouse. he repeated a derogatory term that he has used to refer to attorney general james that we will not repeat here, and says it is letitia james and the judge who are fraudulent for setting such low valuations nrd in order to undermine and discredit my financial statements thereby making me look bad. he went on to say now they are trying to bring ivanka into the case despite the court of appeals ruling she cannot be charged. now, we could e

new york attorney general letitia james said ivanka will not be age to hide from the truth. >> at the end of the day, this case is about fraudulent statements of financial condition that she benefitted from. she was enriched. and clearly, you cannot distance yourself from that fact. >> reporter: sitting in the courtroom, the tone and tenor was so different than when donald trump testified and had flashes of anger. ivanka spoke so softly and quietly, the judge frequently urged her to speak louder and into the microphone. and norah, whereas trump had seething efforts towards the judge, ivanka trump smiled at the judge and laughed at some of his jokes. >> scott macfarlane, thank you. >>> the "cbs overnight news" will be right back. do you shop for vitamins at walmart? force factor products powerfully improve your health, but they're also delicious, easy to use and affordable. that's why force factor is now the number one best selling superfoods brand in america. unleash your potential with force factor at walmart. i'm jonathan lawson suphere to tell you aboutca. life insurance through th

new york attorney general letitia james addressing those claims head on before the cameras today. >> he continued to persistently engage in fraud, the numbers do not lie. and mr. trump obviously can engage in all of these distractions. that is exactly what he did when he committed on the stand today and engaged in distractions. and engaging in name calling. i will not be bullied, i will not be harassed. >> the courthouse closed tuesday before election day, ivanka trump is the states next witness. she is expected to take this down on wednesday. that could carry into thursday, then a new york attorney generals office will rest their case. chancellor say they will begin presenting their evidence on monday and said that could go as long as december 15th. cnn, new york. >> joining me now from los angeles is jessica levinson, a professor of law at loyola law school and host of the podcast passing judgment. welcome back, good to see you. >> good to be here. >> so the four times indicted twice impeached former president spoke to reporters outside the courtroom monday, repeating much of what

no questions taken by the attorney general letitia james there.rine, that the trump team makes is that she's politically targeted them. i wonder, if donald trump didn't become president, and he didn't get the outside attention that he did during his first campaign, and then during his presidency, and for all the statements he made exaggerating or promoting himself, would this case have been filed? >> no, it's a legitimate question, and i'm a native new yorker, and donald trump has been here for years and there's always been, you know, rumors about his business practices. and, you know, the manhattan d.a., the united states attorney for the southern district, the ag, never went after him for these business practices. so i can't say they did it because he became president. it is, you know, shame shame shame for prosecutors never looking at him before, but perhaps they couldn't find proof before. and this case is a civil case, it's preponderance of the evidence. for a criminal case, it's proof beyond a reasonable doubt. >> maybe it was michael cohen

r letitia james, well beyond fair comment or faiber to some of the things that former president trumpas forms said d anybody who knows the legalain,t system and is looking at thishe knows how ridiculous this again, these are sophisticated banks that are the supposeddybo. here that never complained to anybody. thould havthey could have set ay interest rate they wanted. that's one of her big theories that he got a better interest rate because of supposedly falsements.e statements. e they these people are an idiot. they could have charged him any interesttoagain, rate they want. >> again, it's -- it's a farce. my question about what we learned today that judge hÉlene cannon in another trump case iedenied his request to move that classified docs trial until after 2024 election, but she did say she woulduess the case schedule early nexte mi year. so i guess they can make what, another motion or she's just going to reconsider the samer? early next year. >> well i think it's going to depend on how the biden justice department can get president trump the records that any any defendant's entit

tell you to leave and have a negative inference, you can't do, that he is an elected official, letitia james is elected official. you can't have an an elected official on the with the left side, we can't put our case up. >> you know. i know, there are a lot of left wing judgings in new york but there are also good judges, a court of appeals in this state, appellate. you have the new york bar association, i know it leans left but they are not crazy people, there are a lot of great law firms, law firms, whose chief officers are republicans believe it or not. so i am waiting for people to start to speak out regarding the injustice of the way that this judge is treats the 45th period. someone has to stop the circus, and say, this guy what is his name. >> judge engoron. >> he is a bad apple. we don't want to stand behind him he is making us in new york look bad. >> that is truth. larry: just step up step up say it, democrat, republican does not matter that is ruining legal establishment of new york, the guy is a clown, and everyone knows it, he has a clerk, a law clerk who is you know you have a

i will note about letitia james' comments there.is unusual for an attorney general, for some prosecutor overseeing a case to come out and preemptively comment on testimony from witnesses. she did that last week before former president trump testified, as well. she also live tweeted her reaction over the course of the day. that is unusual, but here we expect people from the attorney general's office and the prosecutors will be asking ivanka specific questions about her role in securing financing for certain properties as well as her role? valuation and reporting how much certain assets are worth. in her previous deposition in this case, she tried to distance herself from that process. her brothers and her father have all done the same thing. what i also think we'll see here today is a pretty disciplined witness. this is not someone that i expect will set the proceedings into chaos like we saw earlier this wreak with former president trump or her brothers who had testy exchanges while on the stand. the questioning just getting on the

new york and attorney general note until letitia james is smirking throughout donald trump civil trialrk city, gregg jarrett is here, do you think gets a fair trial in the city. >> absolutely not, the fix is in. her smirking throughout truly demonstrates her bias that has infected the case and it's a politically driven case. she campaigned on the promise of getting trauma she literally said those words is an egregious violation of the canons of ethics that govern prosecutor she committed to a pre-drained outcome in advance of even taking office she had not open the file or seen the documents or had access to any evidence and then she condemned it and said she would nail him. that's the kind of thing that lawyers should get disbarred but it is new york it won't happen. stuart: is it that grounds for appeal. >> it absolutely is. they have been making a motion for mistrial, it'll be denied by an equally biased judge arthur ait was cited with prosecutors and undermine more than a century of established common-law on civil fraud in this cockamamie statute that they're using also violates th

michael cohen you are not above the law and letitia james you are not above the law.and the world is not being fooled. >> todd: one thing not being talked about enough when you listen to people on the other networks your team and the president looks to me like they're baiting both the a.g. and this judge to say really stupid, stupid things that on appeal, if you end up losing, are going to get this case reversed. is that the strategy? >> i can't answer that question. i will say i don't think you have to bait these people. i just don't think they're making intellectually wise decisions. and there's a record. and the record already speaks for itself. >> carley: really quickly before we move on because i want to talk to you about something else. what's going to happen in court today and when does this all wrap up? >> today today is a really important day. we are going to move for a directed verdict saying that they have rested yesterday. you didn't prove the elements of the cases. certain -- this case should be dismissed. it should never have been brought. now, would thi
