s office wanted you to stop. you couldn't help yourself. >> it's true, correct. he's the kind of witness you don't want as a prosecutorthe other hand, the d.a.'s office didn't pick him as a witness. donald trump did. donald trump surrounded himself with people like michael cohen and that's something prosecutors are going to remind the jury of. they're going to say michael cohen is a liar. he's been convicted and stands in front of you. you don't have to believe everything you heard him say, but a will the of what he says, particularly on the important things, are corroborated. and that's what they're going to say. >> between want to kind of build some sort of momentum and i would say looking at this objection, objection, objection, objection in just the first few minutes, that maybe the prosecution wants to interrupt the flow except that they're getting a lot of sustained. >> they're getting overruled. >> that is a risk. of doing that. but i do think the strategy of separating the witness from the d.a.'s office and trying to show that this witness not only violated his oath of office, but wouldn't even take the direct

office. in the 1930's, the district attorney ushered in the era of the modern independent professional prosecutor. for now nearly 90 years, dedicated professionals in this office have built upon that fine tradition. a major part of our practice during that nearly 90 years has been public integrity work, including cases involving local and state elected's, public servants, and others. i want to thank this phenomenal prosecution team, the finest traditions of this office , professionalism, integrity, dedication, and service. they are model public servants, and i am proud and humbled to serve side-by-side with them. the 12 everyday jurors vowed to make a decision based on the evidence and the law and the evidence and the law alone. their deliberations led them to a unanimous conclusion beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant, donald j. trump, is guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records in degree, to conceal a scheme to corrupt the 2016 election. while this defendant may be unlike any other in american history, we arrived at this trial and ultimatat this verdict in the same manner as a

he is a former prosecutor in the d.a.'s office in new york who left his job and then wrote a book about trump's real estate history. the judge writes that the requests are, quote, far too broad and amount to an improper fishing expedition into general discovery. they seek information on topics that are not relevant, end quote. i think trump's attorneys have been arguing that for a week now, have they not, with stormy daniels? >> yeah. we just spent two days with them trawling the entire ocean of lurid details with stormy daniels. for this judge to express concern that maybe this is a bit too broad really, i'm sure, produced a couple of muffled chuckles in the room. pomerantz is an interesting character because he was brought in to make this case. he and another prosecutor resigned after bragg decided to throw a flag on the case. remember, bragg's predecessor declined the theory. pomerantz and his colleague pushed it and bragg also had misgivings. pomerantz did a public campaign to pressure bragg to bring the charges. his own offic

evening, the enemy hit the industrial district of the city beforehand with a s-300 missile. the regional prosecutor's office said, there was a severe fire at the enterprise due to the connection, the production facilities were destroyed, at 4:20 p.m. the russians launched a missile attack on the city of kharkiv, the exact type of missile is currently being established, the attack was made on a civilian enterprise producing food, on the fact of this war crime , criminal proceedings have been opened under the first part of article 438, of ukraine, this is a violation of the laws and customs of war. also, the russians attacked dnipropetrovsk region with rockets at night, due to the fall of fragments of downed drones , fires broke out in the dnipro, and infrastructure was destroyed. this was reported by the head of the region, serhii lysak. damaged high-rise building. two cars were gutted in the slobozhansk community. affected her shop. air defense forces shot down 12 drones in the region. on easter night, all but one of the ukrainian defenders shot down 23 enemy shahedis. in total, the occupiers launched 24 st

a former state prosecutor work in manhattan d.a.'s officens us now camellia, forget everything, everything in this case until this moment. did the exchange with what he said on the stand, did they create the reasonable doubt necessary to equip? >> there were already so many different looks a jury could have found reasonable doubt, but yes, this was very affected. they already elicited history, perjury, status as a felon, deep-seated hatred of donald trump. all of that is very, very helpful stuff on cross-examination. but yes, a specific piece of evidence only piece of evidence that connects donald trump, the defendant to the met plan to stormy daniels. now you have tremendous doubt whether the content of the phone call is what michael cohen said it was initially. backed away, even michael cohen when said what i believe, that is what the topic of the conversation was. i believe is not much to get beyond reasonable doubt. >> carley: so trump's played podcast clips on cohen i truly [bleep] hope this man ends up in prison. you better believe thi

you're trained as a prosecutor in manhattan, the d.a.'s office. you can expect the defense is not going to consent. it's a very different world. >> we're going to get an answer on whether he's going to allow this video to be admitted. he's asking -- he's still reading from the testimony from the c-span. >> while we're waiting for that, can i ask a quick question, and you can certainly weigh in. there was thought this morning as the journalists were waiting in line for hours and having the conversation about what judge merchan would decide in terps of a schedule. they could do closings on thursday, begin deliberation. he would have let them do that. they would be off friday, saturday, sunday, and monday. >> friday is a holiday too. >> so four full days. maybe started a little bit of deliberation, and had to wait four days to come back. was there any way any judge would think -- >> judge merchan thought about it over the weekend, and i believe a juror said he can't come on thursday in the afternoon. >> that's right. >> it really would not be a good

we're joined by a former prosecutor in that same manhattan d.a.'s office. back. >> thank you. >> what jumped out most to you about the jury instructions, which seem dry but can matter to what the jury understands its job to be. >> there are two lawyers on the jury and they'll be paying attention to it. it's not as sexy as hush money payments to porn stars. >> it's not as sexy as sex. >> true enough. this is the way the jury will interact with the evidence ft while judge merchan has not ruled one way or the other, he tipped his hand as to what he was going to do. the prosecution won some and the defense won some. what the defense won, i think, could have an outcome on the way the jurors think about the case. there's the misdemeanor part of it and there's the bump up part of it. the prosecutors won some minor wins on the jury instructions for the bump up part. the judge said you don't need two different intents. where the defense won a meaningful victory is with regard to the word cause. the statute doesn't define the cause, but the defense's argument for an

with of the most coveted positions for any attorney in the country to be a line prosecutor in the manhattan d.a.'s office to work on a case that was passed up by the special counsel robert mueller, the federal elections committee, the state of new york and alvin bragg's predecessor, cy vance, only to drum up these charges because donald trump not only i think he will be found guilty a pause this is not a fair place for him to have a trial. you have a judge whose daughter is raising all sorts of money off this trial, completely and totally conflicted. just to keep him off the political trail and to give the talking point that donald trump is a convicted felon of fraud in new york. the problem is, is with all of these once you peel back the on onand you peel back the lay yours -- onion, you can see the emperor has no clothes, and it's having a boomerang effect. not even the most skeptical democrat could have predicted it. maria: yeah, it's true. and that's why you're getting everyone to come out so adamant if about this. we're going to keep a spotlight on it and today we'll watch that cross-examination. th

s office? i don't know. i haven't done it. but duncan has, a former prosecutor with the manhattan d.a.'s office. did they decide to go that way and is that bearing out as a smart order? . >> you can rely see the architecture of their case coming together. they started this case with the conspiracy itself, taking a step back. this case is a falsifying business records case. and to get it to not be a misdemeanor, they had to show it was done with the intent to deceive, in this case deceived the voters, and that it was done with the intent to commit some other crime or conceal some other crime. and here what they've done is they've chosen to charge that this was a conspiracy to violate the nation's campaign finance laws. >> can i slow you down? >> please. >> you're such a good lawyer. it sounds like you're saying he lied in business, that makes it business fraud. >> right. >> it was too old, this happened too long ago to charge as a misdemeanor. these things wipe away in the law. but because it was part of this larger plot, they can charge it as a campaign felony? >> and that's correct. and so the

s office need jurors to agree that prosecutors have proven each link in this chain. >> pretty much everyas to have the intent piece, all right? what is called a culpable mental state. did you do it intentionally, recklessly. in this case it's intentionally. the introduction of daylight between michael cohen and donald trump is so important. nobody believes donald trump wrote the entries in a ledger which there was a ledger. allen weisselberg is absent. he is in ryker's. he is the accountant. >> bill: that controller three weeks ago, i think, testified that when the receipts came to him he wrote them down as legal expenses because they were payments to a lawyer. >> exactly. here is donald trump essentially being by proxy having imputed to him you caused these entries to be made. and yet we're seeing again that daylight between donald trump at the top of the organization and who is actually doing the inscribing here. irrespectsive of the fact that donald trump is talking about they were legal expenses from his perspective. who advises donald trump on how to do this? who was his lawyer for

s office, daniel horowitz, and former federal prosecutor and criminal defense attorney, duncan levin. when i was in the overflow room, i could donald trump, the prosecution, the defense, the judge, the woman playing the michael cohen and david pecker roles, reading back the testimony. i could not see the jury. what insight do we have about the jury and what they were doing this morning as they were getting back the jury instructions but also getting back that key testimony? >> the ever important jury, right, that's what everyone is focused on right now when it comes to what's happening inside that courtroom or as we should say at this point, what's happening inside that deliberation room, if any of us could be a fly on the wall, what we would hear. as these jury instructions were being read back to the jury, as parts of this testimony from both david pecker and michael cohen were being read back to the jury, i am being told from those reporters that were inside the courtroom, the jurors were taking notes. they were taking lots of notes. they were turning over pages as well. we know no

prosecutore text knew thatt, was that information was coming out, was the prosecutors t suborning perjury? was the manhattan d.a.'s office subornin g perjury, allowinge michael cohen to get on the stand and say durin stane those 96 seconds that he was speaking to the president about stormy daniels, when, in truth, all of the evidence that you interlacf the, the text messages show he was talking to keithages schiller about this 14-year-old. >> so does it mean that the >> jecutioold. n maybe thought that this wasn't going to come out? yeahs no. hun and they just hung this guy out to dry, hoping on cross it wouldn't come up well, and then bang, he just perjured himself . i wouldn't go so far as to say that were hanging out to dry. they were prop>> i wou t they were probably they were pushing him, right? yeah. you know, go out there. let's let's make sure that we convict donald. and that speaks to the corruption of the prosecutioump. >> jesn. y look, do i have to say more?? they have a case that is beyond the statute of limitations. they have come to the endth of their case. they have noo thent proved a pra facie case. any d

larry, they have is the kind of case that the federal prosecutors at my old office scout ern district of new york would not take in first place and that s would not take. and after letitia james good ought that from civil fraud case this is what you end up with, let me be first prosecutor to indict a former president. larry: still now identification of a federal crime? >> there is nothing explicit. it is clear that what he is relying on is federal campaign finance violations and there has been a lot of testimony about, that i think this worst part of the case worse than allowing graphic sex testimony from stormy daniels because what he has let in the judge that is, is that cohen pled guilty to two campaign finance charges and i think he did it because he was trying to sell himself as a cooperating conditions to southern different -- cooperating witness. the jury heard that, they may think that the question of whether there is auley a federal violation or not has been settled. and in fact, that evidence is not admissible against trump it should not have come to the case. larry: federal election commission looked at this case and did not

s office, katherine christian. welcome back. >> thank you. so, when i was a prosecutor, i was very superstitious.ood for me, i was cautiously optimistic. so, i think this prosecution team is cautiously optimistic because these notes of note, the questions, are dead on to right where josh steinglass wanted them to be, that trump tower meeting, where the prosecution says the conspiracy was hatched, where there was, you know, the don, donald trump, and his con cig yair, michael cohen, dealing with mr. pecker, who was going to be the one to catch and kill. if you remember, the defense in their summation, mr. blanche said there wasn't a catch and kill. and josh steinglass, the prosecution in his summation said, just because they didn't use the words, that doesn't mean that's what it was. it was a catch and y that that and kill. so, i would be cautiously optimistic if i was a prosecutor, be very, you know, looking to thank goodness they are focusing in on what i want to. now, stepping back, it could be two jurors who want that. you know, a note doesn't have to be all 12. one juror can say, i want that

but is, rather, the construction of multiple sessions upon prep sessions with prosecutors from the manhattan d.a.'s office who have constructed a memory in michael cohen that didn't organically exist about a conversation that never happened and others, as well. >> danny, i have expressed at times skepticism about this case even being brought. i will say, though, yesterday, when commentaors were talking about how this was a perry mason moment, i was like, no, it's not. a juror isn't going to go, eight years ago, a minute and a half conversation, da, da. it seems to me, the bigger problem is the podcast where he says he wants the guy to go down. the prosecution can clean this up on redirect, can't they? >> i agree, but you and i are in the minority. the vibe i've been getting is folks feel that was the perry mason moment. to that, i say, when it comes to cooperating witness types like cohen -- and cohen, if we step back, isn't even close to the worst kind of cooperating witness you normally have on the stand. >> right. >> these are hardened criminals normally. >> right. >> this is not cohen. so the prosecut

s office? >> i've never heard of a move like that. it's normally from state to federal prosecutors. i'd love to know, is he doing any other cases other than that? and i think another interesting thing is they're trying to say, the government, that these cases are not political, but they are fighting like dogs to get them tried before the november election. if they weren't politics, why would they care? normally these cases, you know, the typical life cycle of a case, there are continuances and there's nothing unusual, and they are fighting so hard. all of this really stinks, and it e seems like the only one that's going to go to trial is the current one with, and it seems like everything else is getting pushed beyond the election, at least the way things are shaping up now. maria: they sat on all the charges or, you know, these expectations of charges for hunter biden for years, right in.

the prosecutor's office has already begun an investigation into how the events unfolded last night. vlada koplovskaya. it was right away it’s clear that a raging storm wind with gusts over 30 m/sill bring a lot of problems when in the city and on the march. up, and accordingly, thanks to this , it was possible to quickly localize and eliminate fires at two points, at the third point we are now here, we are working on the fourth number, there are enough resources, to evacuate people, the authorities set up a temporary accommodation center on the basis of a sports school, however, people are fleeing there were in no hurry, dropped everything they were doing to help firefighters cope with the fire, rushed from other districts, we took the car right away and came here to help, we were from above at first, we helped two houses, because now here... yes, we immediately jumped out, took shovels and ran here, we’ve already extinguished two areas there, well, these fences were knocked down, and the pillars were knocked down, two landscape fires in vonakhoye and upper berezovka were extinguished quite quickly in the burvot microrane; the flames destroyed the outbuildings. the most diffic

s office in 1986. one of eliot's early success stories was when he was working as a junior prosecutor, and he was taskedith trying to get the mob out of the garment district. the gambino crime family dominated manhattan's garment district, where they forced clothing manufacturers to use their trucking company to transport goods to retailers. most prosecutors went after the mob by following a paper trail from behind a desk, but spitzer had a novel idea to start his own factory, hiring 30 workers and an undercover state trooper to run it and simply waiting for the mafia to come to them. it took several months, but eventually a salesman stopped by, threatening to break bones, literally. a very quick and swift message from the gambinos-- "either use our trucker, or somebody will be injured."

s office, duncan levin. thanks for being here. welcome to the table. michael cohen ended on a high note with the prosecutors.hink they're going to go next? >> what they're doing right now is corroborating every piece of evidence that's come into the trial. what we're seeing is we have seen the architecture of the case. they have really started off with this conspiracy, then they moved into the falsifying business records, and now they're bringing forth their sort of more problematic witnesses, stormy daniels and michael cohen. they have laid the ground work for the testimony. christy has it right. when michael cohen testifies, he was trying to delay the payment, that tracks on to the testimony that we heard from keith davidson, stormy daniels' attorney who was saying they were trying to do everything they could to delay the payment until this access hollywood tape came out, and then the trump campaign heard there were two women out there, stormy daniels, karen mcdougal who were selling the story, and that led to this feverish, crazy pace of trying to pay them very quickly, knocks on to the testimony of micha

s office, kim. >> yeah. i think what we are seeing here is a little glimpse into panic that the prosecutors have been feelingr to it because not only is this guy there main witness, not only does he have that track record that we were just talking about convictions and other incidences where it is clear he has been laying, but this is a guy who clearly was a witness they cannot control. he is out there doing all of these publicity hits, really making himself and issue this has become a larger issue because it is looked again as if there are double-sided standards here and he has been allowed to go on ad nauseam him on the media and do his parade and talked and slammed trump and make all these accusations that donald trump has been slapped with a gag order and not allowed to defend himself against any of these accusations. i understand the prosecution could not drop him as a witness because, again, he is absolutely all they have brought in these main claims but i can imagine there's been a lot of hand-wringing and that they are up on the cross-examination we are seeing some of his vulnerabilities. >> john: we

you never know what ’s written there, everything, everything at 22:00 evening reconciliation, that’s it, end of communication, lieutenant colonel shilov, military prosecutor’s officeied tonight, i have already sent the documents to the headquarters division, will there be any more questions? why are you silent, prosecutor's office? well, only your fighters went on the attack? yes, only mine, i would like to interrogate them, do you think one of my own? no, the guys blew me up, only after that the battle started. "išeikit iš čia neždinkitės, aš nenoriu apie jį kalbėti apie šitą durnį apie jo kekšią žmoną, martą su..." tell us why? you see, your son's killer hated him too. help us. where is he? i have to organize a funeral. your son's body will be given to his wife martha. she is not his wife. where is my son? i already told you. you have to give it to me. to me, to this whore, martha. “do you hear? i don’t owe anyone anything, but if you answer my questions, i can help, help us, what questions, how can i help, i rarely leave the house, i can’t look at this friend, ask this two-year-old women, what 's going on here, thomas, what are you doing here, are you getting w

prosecutor and federal law enforcement officer. if you tell me someone may have violated the law, i tend to pay attention. what is going on here with biden 'smony and your judgment? >> thanks for having me. hunter came in earlier this year for deposition. we reviewed that deposition. when that was released, the two whistleblowers that initially came forth with information, identifying three statements that were made during that deposition that we now know based on the information provided are criminally false. one pertaining to what that message that hunter had sent to a chinese national, the head of one of the energy companies there or pertaining to his position as secretary at rosemont. one of the 20 entities that hunter had created. the third about consistency given to the ceo pertaining to the application pertaining of a visa. those are three perfectly false statements. just like if you like to an fbi agent, like to a prosecutor, lie in a proceeding it is a violation of section 1001 of title 18. that is a felony. trey: all right. in your old job you could do the arresting yourself, but the process is a little bit different here. i think

and if the prosecutor is a black woman, ther isn attackinge the rule of law is also racist. >> s also 14 minorities were eld to office to serve as district attorney, and now all of a sudden they need an oversight committe e to look aftertorney district attorneys because they want to tels e thl us howun to prosecute and who to prosecute and where we should put our resources. >> apparently, we now need t daddy to tell us how to do our job. >> 14 days don't need oversight, just one. we're talking about willised. d >> fannie doesn't need a daddy. she hay,s one. a >> did sheny say anything to yo about having a large savings of cash? oh, no, she. oh, no., let's see. maybe. excuse me. and yo hand your honor, i'm not to be racist. okay, but it's a black claim. >> okay, well, michael cohen must be black because he paid contractors 20 grand in cash and brown paper bags. menendez, too. so in cash, in windbreakers must be a black thing. pe all the people charging trump with crimes but m. mitting the but you're not allowed to say that because we have to protect the rule to sa of lawfare. >> i mean, the rule of law. fannie and bra

prosecutors are wasting the jury's time. there is nothing that you want to avoid more than the backsides. that is what they have done. >> this just in. the d.a.'s officemably one of those witnesses is michael cohen. set to take a stand on monday. "it is entirely possible we will rest next week. and you would go to the defense if they have any witnesses to call. this can wrap up before memorial day. >> that is sooner than expected and was projected by the prosecution's office. i want to point out to where it was just sad. the strength component. there is a component that president trump continue showing. you contrast that with our current president and call the lead at 10:00 a.m. and can't beyond two hours. this president since in a criminal trial all day long and still campaigns and goes out. this guy as an infinite reserve of energy. the american people see that. that is showing that he has all this energy that he will use to fight for them. >> as a new yorker, i can understand why he would go to wildwood new jersey. >> it was actually great. it was a great rally with a lot of energy. one thing i want to say to you. you have on one side hope hicks wh

s office. let's start with this, after much anticipation, trump's former fixer, his former attorney michael cohen, took the stand this week and helped prosecutors further corroborate their case. how do you think cohen's testimony helped the prosecution's case? >> if the goal of the defense attorneys were to destroy him, he hasn't been destroyed. he -- the jury already knew, because the prosecutors told them in jury selection, told them throughout their witnesses that this was a floored person, this was a person who has lied in the past and just for the fact that he worked for donald trump would make him a flawed person anyway. so they were prepared for that. the only inroads that maybe the defense made was the last day that they were -- mr. cohen was on cross examination when he either was untruthful or he was mistaken about when he had a conversation with donald trump about stormy daniels, and we will find out from the prosecutors when they redirect whether that was a mistake, which jurors will understand, or was he untruthful with them. >> cohen faced a tough cross examination. almost immediately he was asked whether he had recently gone on t

s office did do witness prep with michael cohen, leading up to this trial, but you're saying, kristen, that that is different than the prosecutorng cohesively with michael cohen during the trial. >> you got it. you got it. at the end of the day, michael cohen is the witness they need to call, and so having that witness prepared and, like, being cool, calm and collected when answering questions both to the prosecutor as well as to the defense, particularly for someone like michael cohen who we know from podcasts and prior testimony, he goes on and on and on. he meanders with answering simple questions. we saw him testify in prior trials and coming off somewhat incredible at times. he hasn't really shown that. we haven't seen that about his demeanor. i think there's a major difference between preparing and witness and making sure that even though that's the witness you have to call, he's not part of the team. he is just someone that the prosecution must call. >> once again, the defense trying to build a certain image of michael cohen and what his interests are and what they aren't. and blanche just started when the trial resumed,

prosecutor that s been a biden donor and the other one has worked for the dnc. then you have fani willis and nathan wade and what happened to jack smith to delay that court because that officeevidence in the ordee r of evidence they founthd and then e. jean carroll, you get theyt impression none of this had anything to do with anything exc with the law and subverted appeared it was all about campaign interference in the same manner as getting him off at the ballot were impeaching him twice. it is a long story. it is really wrecked theic reputation internationally and domestically of american lawan . i can't believe i'm watching this. >> laura: victor, they aremeri forever bemoaning the reputation of america as it was under trump. oh, the world had no respect for us. what does -- imagine president xi amp vladimir putin talking onese the phone here these people are the democracy people over there? can you imagine what they thinki >> i can tell yongu what theyth think. wow, they are just like us. ved.they talk when way but we as relieved they have theh same ida of law that we do. you punish you lier enemies andp your friends and then lie about it. that is what we are doing. we

s office, did you ever see a defendant act like this? >> i never saw a defendant act like this. i mostly worked in white collar crime. i think some of the prosecutoret crime might have found something remotely similar, but i really didn't. >> you didn't have defendants slamming everyone, talking about everyone's corrupt, and -- >> you know, there are allegations of prosecutorial misconduct that defendants make all the time -- >> sure. >> -- but this level, this repeated level, this, you know, refrain throughout the trial is unusual, unprecedented. >> yeah, so you say -- you had this to say in this piece, which i thought was interesting, because we've been going back and forth about how to talk about this case. hush money, election interference. you say, boring as it may sound, is a case about business integrity. is an important and straight forward case, albeit workman-like and unglam warehouse, in time, after the smoke has cleared, it will be easy to see why the prosecution is solid and legitimate. what's your snarth. >> my argument is people have been distracted by the crime that he is alleged to be helping -- seeking to commit or conceal by fal

office. in the 1930's, district attorney thomas dewey ushered in the era of the modern independent professional prosecutorur practice has been public integrity work, including cases involving jurors, local and state elections, public servants, and others. i want to thank this phenomenal prosecution team embodying the finest traditions of this office . professionalism, integrity, dedication, and service. they are modeled public servants, and ihumbled to servee with the 12 everyday jurors about to make a decision based on the evidence and the law, and the evidence and the law alone. their deliberations led them to a unanimous conclusion beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant, donald j. trump, is guilty of 34 trumps of -- 34 counts of falsifying business recordto conceal a scheme to corrupt 2016 elections. while this defendant may be unlike any other in american history, we arrived at this trial and ultimately today at this verdict in the same manner as every other case that comes to the courtroom doors, by following the facts and the law and doing so without fear or favor. i want to conclude by expres

s office. i think that any jury would be wondering what is this case about? and i've had enough trouble myself in talking to former colleagues trying to understand it. when i was a prosecutor robert morgan was the well-respected longtime district attorney of new york. i can't conceive of a situation in which he would've ever approved a case like this. and as you know i have not been willing to -- i'm sorry. you go. >> john: i was going to say you know kerri kupec very well appear she was over at the department of justice when you are at the white house peered she said in a case like this which is precedent-setting, the first time a president of the united states has been hauled into court for you want to make sure that the case is rock-solid and very tight. everyone should understand why the trial is happening and the facts are understandable. the law is clear in the witnesses are credible. it doesn't seem to meet that bar in any way, shape, or form eric. >> it's not even close. i will tell you i hate to bring up a peer of mine who worked with me in the d.a.'s office, but eliot spitzer and i were contemporaries. if this were as a legal theory that people dream was humanly

prosecutor be appointed to review whether these charges are even appropriate. the appeal will be decided by a panel of three judges, randomly assigned to the case. >> and we reached out to the fulton county d.a.'s office for comment. they have yet to respond. bret? >> bret: jonathan, another issue here. fulton county, where you are standing there, faces criticism for its handling of recounts in the 2020 presidential election, looking into it again. what's happening there? >> yeah. just yesterday, the georgia election board voted to send an official letter of reprimand to fulton county and, also, to appoint an independent auditor for elections there. this comes after an investigation by the georgia secretary of state's office determined that the county used some improper procedures during ballot recounts, bret. >> bret: so, could that have affected the outcome of the election in georgia? >> well, both the county and state elections officials say no. a voter complaint is what prompted them to investigate whether double scanned ballots had made it into the recounts. while they could not determine how many, if any duplicate made the tally, they say that any way it plays out, the number would be well below
