arrived in new york for the opening of the civil full trial. against him is 2 sons and the trump organization. trump and his company are accused of using false financial statements and then slicing is net was by billions of dollars, was speaking shortly before entering the court room form of us president vista. se a decent people with the most corrupt people. we have a great company. i built a great company. it's got to got some of the greatest real estate assets in the world. and now i have to go before a roll as a continuation of russia, russia, russia, as a continuation of the greatest of all time. and i don't think the people of this country are going to stand for. if i weren't leading and all the calls were by weren't running, i wouldn't have any of these cases. i wouldn't be seeing you this morning. let's go live now together, let us on though he's joining us from outside that cold house in new york. so he's already been found to have acted fraudulently in this case. why is it going to try what's happening? well, the attorney general of the state of new york who was investigating this f

, and he testified against the trump organization in alvin bragg's criminal prosecution of trump org.m looking forward to what happens when these adverse witnesses are called to testify by letitia james. >> how does it normally work -- how does this work? is this like a daily situation going forward? you talk about some of these witnesses, et cetera, that clearly they're not going to be pro-prosecution, but how is this going to work? is this going to be a daily thing, glenn? >> so jose, i will say having tried cases for 30 years, when we project how long a trial will last, we are almost always wrong, and that goes for the judges as well. you know, we try to give the parties and if it's a jury trial, which this isn't, the jurors a real, you know, estimate of how long everybody can expect to be in that courtroom. now, here is what i think is most likely to impact the length of the trial. tish james announced as many as 53 potential witnesses. trump's attorneys announced as much as 123 or 127 potential witnesses. here's what i can tell you, the defense teams almost always over estimate h

executive will be testifying in this case and this person will say that the trump organization -- that they knew that he was told by allen weisselberg the chief financial officer that donald trump wanted his net worth high. and that is the heart of 9 the case because attorney general is alleging that they inflated his properties all to increase his net worth on these financial statements and it was that net worth at the high level is what caused the banks to issue these loans, what caused the insurers to give them better rates. this is where the sparring will take place as the trial unfolds the next several weeks, the battle what have did the banks rely organization what statements were they told and something that the trump's attorneys are pushing back at. they spent some time focused on the value of mar-a-lago which tax assessment said it was $18 million and judge last week said that they inflated the value of mar-a-lago by a lot. and they are saying here that it is worth more than 9 adjustment. and so those things are at issue. >> and enormous implications for donald trump's busines

g, the trump organization, and his adult children who all play a role within the trump organization could face hundreds of millions of dollars in fines. but beyond that could potentially lose any sort of right to work in commercial real estate in new york state and or potentially relinquish their rights and holdings to the trump organization properties here in new york. so while this is not a criminal case, it is civil. it has the potential we shoot ramifications for the trump organization and his business empire, which is really at stake on this trap. this trial, right little want a lot to watch out. full thanks so much. deborah is on the a huge fire was engulfed. the security directorate building in the city of a smiley and ne, in egypt, the area is on the west bank of the sewer is, can now official side. the flames is now being contained calls not yet known. the health ministries reporting at least 38 people have been injured. the comedian are reporting nearby hospitals have been put on a lux. society is one of the cities that overlooks egypt. so is canal a volume 4 volts away between

so there is a lot at stake for the uh, the trump business, and the trump organization. and that is why probably you see trump here on the 1st day of this trial. he does not have to be here. he's not obligated to be here. he's chosen to be here because he feels these charges are politically motivated, as you heard him say there, and it's important point out as well that trump himself is expected to take the stand at some point in this trial to defend himself or leave with that. thanks so much gabriel. as on the of the 0 has gained exclusive access to the largest city of no, no, no kind of boss of to it was read captured by us or by john from s the call medians . this is what all team witnessed in hon. kennedy, the empty streets, the seed homes and closed businesses. more than a 100000 people living in the region a flight to neighboring army. and he was only a small fraction staying. as despite as a by john's assurances they will be integrated as equal citizens. but it's smith has more from the armenian capital yet on we understand that just him full of ethnic all medians.

so, we will hear from more people from the trump organization. , potentially donald trump and his two sons are on the witness list, so we will see if they do testify. certainly, it will be a lot of experts giving their opinion on these types of valuations because what we heard from donald trump's team is this is just business as it is done in new york. we will hear from experts about what they think of that. caitriona: the former president is facing four separate court proceedings. how significant is this one? >> yeah, at first glance, people might say this is a simple fraud case -- a civil fraud case, not a criminal case. he is facing four other criminal trials that could amount to jail time for mr. trump. but remember, donald trump billed his entire brand, his career on being a successful businessman. he always wanted to make it in newark. -- new york. with this case, everything he has built in this city is at stake. in fact, his ability to ever do business again in new york. while we have seen him move to florida and give up his residency in ne

make the claims publicly and under oath in front of congress that he while working for the trump organization and at the direction of donald trump inflated the estimations and value of their assets. it was michael cohen who has cooperated repeatedly with new york attorney general leticia james to provide evidence that ultimately led to the lawsuit against him. the other big name to pay attention to is allan weisselberg who first began working with donald trump's dad, fred trump, back in 1973. you eelecall just over last who part of a federal case for tax fraud brought by the southern district of new york, district attorney alvin bragg, he agreed to a plea agreement on 15 counts ranging from grand lars see, tax fraud, to falsifying business records. he served several months at rikers jail on those charges. now, as part of his testimony and part of his plea agreement related to the charges against him, he did testify against him against the trump organization, but he refused to directly testify against donald trump himself. ultimately prosecutors went forward with the plea agreement under those

manhattan courtroom today in that civil fraud trial against him and his adult sons and the trump organization. trump keeps up attacking the new york state attorney general letitia james for bringing the case. >> this case should be dismissed. this is not a case. she should probably be dismissed also. >>> president biden's son hunter pleading not guilty at his arraignment in delaware on gun charges. he faces a trial ten weeks after his plea deal with the federal government collapsed. ♪♪ >>> good day. i'm andrea mitchell in new york. the speaker of the house of representatives could be ejected from his leadership post with the house coming back into session right now. speaker kevin mccarthy is in a political fight for his life as a member of his own party, representative matt gaetz, is pushing to oust him and has enough republicans lined up against the speaker to bring him down unless democrats come to the rescue. >> i have enough republicans where at this point next week, one of two things will happen. kevin mccarthy won't be the speaker of the house or he will be the speaker of the house work

found trump liable for fraud, a ruling that could be destabilizing, to say the least, for the trump organization. >> trump has gone on the offensive, ramping up his smear campaign against the judge and prosecutors just a few steps from where he's sitting for trial. >> we have a racist attorney general who is a horror show. >> we'll go in and see a rogue judge and listen to this man. this is a disgrace, and you're to go after this attorney general. >> cnn's brynn gingras is outside the courthouse. also with us, cnn chief law enforcement and intelligence analyst john miller and cnn legal analyst jennifer rogers. great to have all of you. brynn, let's start first with you. we've heard some well worn trump rhetoric going back to his playbook again and again. but how are things shaping up inside that courtroom? >> reporter: jessica, pretty much any time there's a break, he comes out and talks to the cameras, very much political moves by the former president. i'm getting realtime updates from my colleagues in the courtroom. they say right now the first witness is on the stand, that's donald bender, he

and at the core it alleges that trump and the trump organization intentionally inflated the value of umps real estate assets. everything from golf courses to hotels, to apartments, to the tune of $3.5 billion in order to gain more favorable loan terms. this is very much a crime, and that is why these allegations were brought forth by the attorney general. last week the judge in this case already made a ruling that trump was liable for falsifying or lying about his wealth on financial documents. so why is this trial going forward? because there are six other allegations related to this case and the potential of fraudulent as this records and business dealings -- fraudulent business records and business dealings. there is no jury, it is just a judge that will make a ruling. it is excited to last several weeks and could go into december. so far it has had no effect on his popularity within the republican party, he is still leading the polls and republican primary for the presidency. for inside story i am gabriel elizondo. emily: the new york trial is the latest in the series that he face

james filed suit against trump last year along with his family and the trump organization itself. she is seeking a $250 million fine and severe restrictions preventing trump and his family from doing business in new york. the state has a long list of witnesses they intend to call, that includes former president trump and his children. this trial is expected to last through most of december. again today a day one. send it back to you. >> bill: good work there. nate foye back to you as we get developments from downtown. let's go around the horn. >> gillian: let's welcome to the program john yu, former justice department official. turley teased out there are two strategies here on the part of the defense. political strategy and also the legal strategy for lack of a better word to define both of those things. what do you make about what you just heard from the president? that seems surelyly to anger the judge presiding over the case. do you think it's a smart move? >> well, he can look at it in two ways as jonathan does. a political strategy and a legal strategy. i actually think they

the fraud trial against the former president, his family, and the trump organization started today. rump and his company of inflating the value of his assets and net worth on financial documents. before entering the courtroom, trump called the trial a sham and verbally attacked the judge and new york's attorney general letitia james. last week the same judge found trump, his sons don junior and eric, and the trump organization had inflated his value by billions of dollars for a decade. this isn't a criminal case, so no jail time. but trump could be forced to give up his famous new york properties like trump tower. cbs's robert costa is going to start us off tonight from outside the courthouse in manhattan. good evening, robert. >> reporter: good evening, norah. former president trump did not need to show up here today, but he decided to anyway because sources tell me for him, this was deeply personal, and he wanted to defend the company and reputation he built over decades, so intertwined with his life and with his political career. former president donald trump sat stone-faced in co

, essentially a letter that stipulates that he takes the trump organization at their word for being bindingfor accurate. that is going to the heart of the prosecution's effort to place it on the defendants along with donald trump and his children that were aware of the financial documents that were be being turned over to the banks and lenders. >> what is the significance of bender being the first witness? >> when you are a prosecutor or government attorney, you want to start with somebody safe and persuasive. bender has an interesting role in that he helped facilitate the overstatements of assets and did so unwittingly, as least according to the attorney general's theory, that h given the information by the members of the trump organization and used them put them into financi documents. in some way, he was a victim in all of this as the conduit that believed the representations he received and reported them inaccurately. he's a witness that is likely to testify truthfully. he has no axe to grind. he was once an ally of the trump organization and is likely to be unbiased. he's probably a sa

the judge had given the trump organization as you put it cleverly, the corporate death penalty. n't know how much you've had time to watch what donald trump has been doing this morning, but he's spoken as vividly as i've heard him, as angrily as i have seen him, what do you think as someone who has covered him so closely for so long is going on? >> well, your correspondent got it exactly correct. donald is absolutely livid because donald is his money. that's the most important thing to understand. and it's the reason he inflates the size of his money. when he announced he was running for president in 2015, he said he was worth more than $10 million. when he became president, he had to file his ethics form. he first asked if he could sign it, submit it without signing it under penalty of perjury, his net worth fell by 70%, and even those were pretty inflated values. donald just makes these things up. he creates his own reality. >> i guess, then, that leads us to, doesn't it, david, the question of the courts, and reality is reality. you don't get to -- you can make your argument,

. and the trump organization itself for falsifying documents so that they could get more favorable loansa 300 square meter house, instead i say it's a 600 square meter house, then i would get more uh better loans, because my 600 square meter house would be worth more. well, what the new york attorney general is saying is that trump has done this for number of years for number of his residences and businesses, over inflating the value of these businesses so he could get bigger loans, also inflating his own. worth, he says he's worth billions, however when you look at his assets, he may not actually be worth as much as he says he is, and that's what the evidence is lodged against the former president, this of course is huge, why? because this could change profoundly the way that the former president does business in the state of new york, where again he built his name and his empire, the state is looking for $250 million dollars in damages, this of course is something that trump and the trump organization does not want to pay, hundreds of millions of dollars, not only that, he would be dis

forced to admit today that he learned the trump organization didn't provide the firm with all of the necessary records. as for that gag order on mr. trump, the judge saying he is

has lost his licenses to conduct business in new york, that is an existential threat to the trump organizationrump family enterprise. and more importantly to him. that is why he is so angry. his personal identity, everything he says about himself since he was a young man, but that he built a massive empire entirely on his own, that is not true either but it is important to him to hang onto that. it is the argument he makes over and over to his supporters in the political realm as to why he has the expertise and experience to be president. geoff: we have been looking at court sketches from the hearing. this case as i understand is expected to last three months. there are 200 names on the witness list. what comes next? >> right now, starting today the accountant who filled out all of donald trump's tax returns for the last 15 or 20 years that we obtained a couple years ago, going back 20 years, some years there were 500 returns for each entity and the accountant's name was on everyone. it seems he will testify. i put on those returns information i was given. they didn't tell me they had an appra

so they asked the trump organization and donald trump is asking this appeals court to stop the trialhat has been under way this week and also to pause the judge's order, and that judge's order had argued -- this found that trump was liable for fraud and ordered the dissolution and cancellation of business certificates for the trump organization and certain of its entities. trump is saying that this should be put on pause until they can appeal the merits of that lower court decision saying that the judge does not pre hend the scope of chaos also decision has wrote. the attorney general's office is saying we are in day five, this is too late to make this ask and also saying that a delay would create a cascade of delays in not only this case but also other litigation involving am trump. if the trial is delayed this is significant -- based on the deadlines in these other cases and that that would have an impact on some of the other cases and they say that they're trying to use one court against another in their bigger litigation strategy. the issue here is will this be delayed. out at th

nominally speaking, his son eric was placed in charge of the trump organization. clear trump himself was still a personally engaged with his own business. by the testimony of numerous people who followed trump's career throughout, he cared most of all about the trump organization, not only did it have his name on it, but money has always been an animating factor for him. he was still working on deals, remember, even throughout the 2016 campaign when he was running for president. and so i don't think it's going to be very plausible to suggest, as a defense in this case, that the family organization, that the family didn't know with the family was doing. that's going to be tough thing to prove, i would imagine. >> important reminder. the one thing that put juice in those deals was the fact that donald trump stood to potentially become the president of the united states. that's what there was no way he was going to loosen the reins on his business. joyce, let's talk testimony. what stood out to you from these two former accountants? >> the testimony is slow and perhap

so it is very unclear as to what the future of the trump organization and the wealth of the trumps will look like after this trial gets finished. remember, it is very significant trial, and like you said, the attorney general is asking for $250 million, which doesn't seem much to the trump trumps, but t judge is going to make the discretion for penalizing on which ever way he is going to find in these trials, but it is significant and interesting to find the beginning this before the opening statements started of how trump made the comments attacking james of which he is not shy of doing, and attacking judge which he is not shy of doing, and not addressing letitia james walking into the courtroom today, and the judge is going to make those decisions, and not a jury. so we will be certainly seeing how that lays out. and another thing testifying, we could hear from his sons as well, and also, bringing people to the stand who are going to show that the way they filled out all of the financial statements that they are just everyday things that happen in the state of new york, and they were

years long investigation where she and her investigators claim that trump and his allies, the trump organization, intentionally inflated the value of his real estate assets in order to get more favorable loans, essentially defrauding banks. now that's something that trump strongly denies. and after sitting in on the 1st 2 and a half days, if this trial, trump says he's seen enough. this is what he had to say as he left the court. ringback trump is not expected back in court. the rest of the, in this trial is expected to go on several weeks, if not months into perhaps even december. there are more than a 100 people on the potential witness list. the next time we could see trump here in court, could be when he testifies gabriel's on do out. just need your, your and staying in the us. a slow moving crisis is unfolding in the state of louisiana for weeks. now a mass flow of salt water from the gulf of mexico has been creeping up the mississippi river, which is experiencing low water levels because of a drought. it's a threat to those who use a river as a source for safe drinking water, and to farmer

lose their right to conduct a business in new york, potentially raising the specter of the trump organization. completely dissolving here in the city that trumpet built his career on. so there's certainly a lot at stake here for donald trump and his business assets that he so proud of for many years. i mean, in terms of the notes and sounds of very angry and those comments that he made to report as, as he went back into forth what impact is this likely to have if any, on his race for re election next year as well so far, there's nothing, quite frankly, again, it's a civil case. so he does not potentially face any jail time if people see been found liable. so this case will, in the only way it will affect his run for the presidency. and the republican nomination is it's going to be taking away his time and resources right now. he's not in iowa, he's not in new hampshire, he's not anywhere else. trying to jump drum up boats. he's spending his day here, and then new york city court room. so it takes time away from him on the campaign trail so far, though. uh it has not affected his standings wit

years long investigation where she and her investigators claimed that trump and his allies, the trump organization, intentionally inflated the value of his real estate assets in order to get more favorable loans, essentially defrauding banks. now that's something that trump strongly denies. and after sitting in on the 1st 2 and a half days at this trial, trump says he's seen enough. this is what he had to say as he left the court. trump is not expected back in court. the rest of the week this trial is expected to go on several weeks, if not months into perhaps even december. there are more than a 100 people on the potential witness with the next time we could see trump. here in court could be when he testifies gabriel hassan though, i'll just see that your, your staying in new york and opening arguments have begun in the full trial of full crypto currency. may go some vitamin fried his cryptic currency, exchange company f t x collapse last year. it accused of stealing $8000000000.00 from his customers. also here's and say it's one of the largest 4 cases in us history. the media has criticized as a

james filed the $250 million lawsuit last year against trump, his adult sons and the trump organizationtrump says he's being targeted for political reasons. >> attorney general, like letitia james, who is a disgrace to our country. who got elected on the fact that she's going to take down president trump. we're going to take him down. she knew nothing about me. she got elected on that basis. >> neil, trump also calls james corrupt, racist and a terrible person. he says she's driving people out of new york by ignoring murders and going after him instead. james argues that trump filed false networks and lied about his net worth. here she is this morning. >> donald trump and the other defendants have committed persistent and repeated fraud. justice will prevail. thank you. >> trump's lawyer argued that all financial records were accurate. take a look at this video in the courtroom. trump is seen looking serious while the justice is seen smiling and slugging. this is a no-jury trial, which means the judge has sole discretion in punishing trump for fraud. the trial, neil, is expected to last

and how it really threatens to potentially bring down a good trump organization in organization that he's spent decades building up here in new york and elsewhere. it's important to remember that this case boils down to the attorney general of new york. and i years long investigation where she and her investigators claim that trump and his allies, the trump organization, intentionally inflated the value of his real estate assets in order to get more favorable loans, essentially defrauding the banks. now that's something that trusts strongly denies . and after sitting in on the 1st 2 and a half days, if this trial, trump says he's seen enough, this is what he had to say as he left the court. trump is not expected back in the court. the rest of the week. this trial is expected to go on several weeks, if not months into perhaps even december. there are more than a 100 people on the potential witness with the next time we could see trump. here in court could be when he testifies gabriel's on do out just need your, your and they to of the trying to form a crypto. karen see mobile sam bank

one family, trump family, one organization, the trump organization.ge wants to take away control of this company, fine them $250 million and most absurd part of the valuation is the property down in florida, mar-a-lago. judge is saying it is valued between 18 and 26 million. i study these properties down in mar-a-lago, ken griffith bought five homes in a row for $100 million each. there is not a single property that is under $400 million that has both inter-coastal and ocean way, as mar-a-lago. the judge is as more guilty than trump at having a phony valuation of that property. it is really sad what is happening here. you see a deck stacked against him and they are going after the one family for fulfilling the campaign promise. great tragedy and injustice. this can't keep happening, this is stuff of banana republic. you ask any appraiser in balm beach to put a value on mar-a-lago and should come out with valuations and there is not one under $400 million, that is on low side and for the judge to say that is valued at 18 million is obscene. >> brian: w

he could be complicit because the trump organization paid him $2 million a year.plicit in looking the other way. >> that's a lot. >> and simultaneously being a victim. both things can be true and either one alleviates the responsibility of the trump organization to tell the truth, not only to their accountant but to their banks and lenders, which they didn't do and which the attorney general is saying, disrupted the integrity of the financial markets in new york. >> all right, lisa rubin, that was great. still to come, we have reached absurd levels of republicans reaching for a new speaker. if you don't believe me, he is here is congresswoman reggie taylor greene. >> we only have one choice to save america, alex, and it's president trump. i'm going into this next speaker's race and the only candidate i am supporting is donald john trump. >> yeah! >> you don't watch mad max worldview hosted by alex jones for hours every day? a real push to make this man, speaker of the house. next. meet the portable blender we can barely keep in stock. blendjet 2 gives you ice-crus

trump along with two of his sons and the trump organization are accused of inflating their net worth illions of dollars. trump faces hundreds of millions of dollars in fines and the loss of his business licenses. >> donald trump again in a courtroom for the first time on trial. trump, his adult sons and the trump organization are facing allegations of intentionally inflating the value of trump's real estate holdings by nearly $3 billion in order to gain more favorable loans. that is a crime. one that could deal a major blow to trump's new york business empire. trump is not obliged to attend the trial but on the first day he did so voluntarily. >> this trial was railroaded and fast tracked. this trial could have been brought years ago but they waited until i was right in the middle of my campaign. >> the investigation was years in the making by new york's attorneys general -- attorney general's office which brought the charges last year. >> donald trump and the other defendants have committed persistent and repeated fraud. last week we proved that in our motion for summary judgment. to

it means trump could lose control of the key properties that have defined the trump organization for cades. here's the thing, not a surprise, he's fraud. we've known that for a while. about 12 years ago, trump gave himself, gave a sworn deposition that should have raised a glaring red flag, trump claimed this. he said, quote, my net worth fluctuates. it goes up and down with the markets and with attitudes and with feelings, even my own feelings. you heard that right. he claimed that his wealth was based on his feelings. wouldn't that be nice? when asked how he'd put a number on his net worth. trump said, quote, it's based on my general attitude at the time that the question may be asked. as i say, it varies. so he admitted under oath that his numbers are a complete invention. but nobody in authority actually did anything about it until trump's former lawyer michael cohen delivered this explosive testimony in 2019. >> to your knowledge, did the president or his company ever inflate assets or revenues? >> yes. >> to your knowledge did the president ever provide inflated assets to an ins

both of them had testified and to the trump organization being engaged in that. her of these two men, however, though implicated directly donald trump. that is why when the take the stand here, it is going to be a unique moment and if donald trump is in the courtroom at that point that he will be looking at both of those men who he has worked with for decades now and both of those men who were at the forefront of actually putting together the financial statements that were signed off by donald trump and his sons. >> dave, as we showed, trump is there in person again today. he's been doing a lot of talking, attacking the judge, attacking the attorney general, just this morning calling her a monster. how could these public attacks impact the case? >> ana, donald trump and his allies have been saying there is a two-tiered system of justice and maybe they're right because if any other defendant said the things that donald trump has been saying, they would have been sanctioned a while ago. so, i expect that at some point a judge, whether judge anagoron will slap them w

and the trump organization itself, for falsifying documents so that they could get more favorable loansbe worth more than a 200 square foot house, and that's a raff for latest here on press tv, everyone, thanks for tuning in and goodbye for now. and not only here to participate in the millennial anniversary, but also to present and describe many different places to you, it's a very nice place here, this city is really interesting. well, i am suheil assad, and we are here to celebrate the millennial birthday of imam riza, we are from different parts of the world, around 60 countries. there are 20 million people who visit the tomb of imam riza, the holy shrine during the year. the holy shrin of imam razzalam is considered one of the largest places in the islamic world. pamene warns against any attempts by regional countries to normalize ties with israel, likeikening it to betting a losing horse. he had israel resembles cancerous tumor that until ultimately be eradicated by the palestinian people and resistance. different units of iran's army kick off large-scale drone drill across the cou

and at the core it alleges the trump and the trump organization, intentionally inflated the value of trumps real estate assets. everything from golf courses to hotels, to apartments, to the tune of $3500000000.00 in order to gain more favorable loan terms. now this isn't very much a crime, and that is why these allegations were brought forth by the attorney general's office. now last week, the judge in this case already made a ruling that trump was liable for falsifying or lying about his wealth on financial documents. so wires this trial going forward because they're still 6 other locations by the attorney general's office related to this case. and the potential of fraudulent business records and business dealings. how this is a civil not criminal case. and so there is no jury, it's just a judge that will make a ruling. this trial is expected to last several weeks and could go into december. so far it has had no effect on trump's popularity within the republican party. he is still leading the poles and the republican primary for the presidency, the united states, for inside story gab

and the trump organization itself for falsifying documents so that they could get more favorable loanspresentatives has been carjacked outside his residence in washington. henry couler was robed by three armed attackers on monday night. the assailts also stole the democrat congressman's phone and ipad at gunpoint. the incident happened in a neighborhood less than mile from capital hill. this amit the surgeon carjackings in the capital. a recent report has revealed that the number of armed carjackings in the... us capital has more than dobled in 2023 with some 750 offenses reported this year alone. many residents of washington avoid going to gas stations at night as they are worried about car jackings. the european union has pledged more military aid for ukraine and called on us law-makers to reconsider the decision to drop financial support for the country. now news review program will took a closer look at the... western support for ukraine in the war with russia, let's see what our guests had to say. the secretary general of the cp foundation joining us from brussels and we also have

and so for the trump organization back in 1927 is when the family first founded it, nearly 96 years later they are in peril that has far reaching implications that go much greater beyond donald trump himself but an entire corporation here that goes down to his children, others in the family and of course a workforce that could be looking at the trumps no longer at the helm. >> so, michael, this is civil trial, not a criminal trial unlike the four others that trump is facing, but it's really striking a chord with trump. it's getting him where he lives, his finances, his businesses. >> this case cuts to the heart of perhaps the most important thing to him, and that is what he thinks his worth is. this is something that has come under question for many decades. it was the subject of a book that was written, you know, about how much he actually had. donald trump sued the author of the book at the time trying to refute that, to prove that he was worth more. and i think that this also cuts to probably what he -- what struck so many americans across the country when he was running in 2016. if yo

this is a pattern of practice that the trump organization would overinflate their assets. what you want to see is can michael cohen pinpoint specific transactions thats he was part of and exs plain they were overinflated and done specifically at donald trump's direction. as you say, michael cohen is a fraught witness. he does have those convictions for perjury and fraud. but i also think michael cohen has had a pretty sharp record since he turned on trump of telling the truth and being support ed in the things he's alleged. >> elie honig, good to see you. thank you. >>> president biden wants congress to sign off on billions in more aid to israel. but he's getting some pushback from progressives in his own party. we'll have more on that, next. >>> the biden administration is asking congress for $105 billion in security funding for ukraine can and israel. some of the money would be for thaiwan and the u.s. southern border. >> but the president has some work to do. first, the house is on day 18 with no speaker, so it can't even pass legislation. second, dwindling support amon

. $250 million lawsuit against donald trump, his eldest sons, their companies and other trump organizationcutives. in the lawsuit the attorney general accuses trump of falsely inflating his wealth by as much as $3.6 billion. she says that he engaged in decades-long fraud, essentially to pump up the value of his businesses to get better interest rates and secure better loans. inflating values when it suited him and also deflating values when it helped him as well. >> the judge, by the way, has already ruled trump and his adult sons committed fraud, now it's about damages the trumps may be forced to pay. trump's future as a businessman, his real net worth and his real money is on the line. trump says he is, quote, going to court this morning to quite for his name and reputation, but will he take the stand? he is on the witness list, as well as three of his children. his former fixer there, michael cohen, his former cfo, allen weisselberg and former accountant. there is intense scrutiny in manhattan right now. we begin with cnn's brynn gingras who is outside the courthouse in downtown new yor

while they're appealing the judge's summary judgment from last week, in which they found the trump organizationof fraud. and we also know that the judge in this case now is giving both sides an october 26th deadline, which they must identify potential receivers for the dissolution of the trump organization llcs, and this is something that the judge has said in his statement from last week is going to happen. he also made note that there is now an independent monitor who's going to keep watch over anything, any assets or any movement of assets that the trump organization might attempt to do. meanwhile, in court, letitia james, the attorney general who filed these charges against the trump organization, she's back in court. as you know, former president donald trump, he is not here. there are fewer people here, but what's happening now is the -- trump's former comptroller is back on the stand testifying, and what we know or what we expect to happen next week is that michael cohen, the former president's personal attorney who went to jail on tax evasion charges in connection with money paid to a p

so now they're clearly trying to set a pattern here of showing what the trump organization handed overcountants to illustrate what their actually assets are. of course, the other thing we're going to be watching for is trump's demeanor in court after this gag order has silenced him in a way and he's not going to be happy about it. >> no. >> no. not used to being told exactly what to do. bloomberg's eric larson and former u.s. attorney barbara mcquaid, thank you both very much for your reporting and insight this morning. >>> still ahead on "morning joe," russian president vladimir putin has his eyes set on a new target. we'll explain what officials are worried he'll do next to end u.s. support for ukraine. >>> plus, we'll get reaction from former new jersey governor chris christie about kevin mccarthy's ouster and more. >>> and congressman jim clyburn will weigh in, did democrats make a smart move by not rescuing mccarthy?

they're being called because of their roles in the trump organization. ask ivanka trump questions about some of the financial dealings she was involved in. there's reporting that says she was involved in negotiating and obtaining financing for some of the trump properties. those will be some of the questions that the attorney general will want to ask. and then, yes, the trump lawyers will cross examine her. it will be a friendly -- it won't be the kind of heated thing you'll see where somebody tries to undermine the witness credibility. instead i imagine they will use leading questions to try to bolster trump's position or suggest that she lacks knowledge or some other aspect of that. so they'll talk with her with kid gloves but they'll no doubt get an opportunity to examine her testimony. >> i love first of all neil katyal saying poppycock always has me smile on a friday afternoon. and i think about tolsociety and happy families are alike and every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way. every unhappy thamfully that's been dragged into court testifies

and the trump organization itself, for falsifying document. so that they could get more favorable loanstwo years old, what have both sides achieved, that depends on how you look at it, russia believes that its special military operation is justified due to nato and us aggression, but as it turns out with many... if not all wars, the stated goals of the western participants of this war, in particular the us is to make money. it's just the kind of thing arms manufacturers want to hear. ukrainian president zelenski saying we are creating such defense.

>> remember that the trump organization is really a glorified mom and pop type company.state branding company it's very similar to the mafia there's a code of silence so to speak. at the trump organization with, a privately held company, it's incredibly difficult to understand how they value assets and how they handle the business unless you have an insider there that's willing to give up that information. that's something that i did in seven congressional hearings. the one that you showed 23 occasions to the dea and to the new york attorney general. look, let me be clear about something. there is no recovery for donald as a result of the civil case being brought tomorrow by attorney general to history ms.. >> this ruling is called a corporate death sentence by a number of people. we were playing a key role in this. you're also a lawyer what will it mean for trump to lose control over several of his real estate holdings in new york. what does it look like? >> well, first of, all i believe that it's more than just several. once he loses the license within which to operate

i think the big thing will be the gap between what the trump organization new to be true because they an appraisal, or the property had a restriction on it, and what they told the bank to seek their loans. when they had an appraisal of $200 million, they would put the property was worth $600 million. there were times where properties they could not build on much but they created a value for the purpose of getting these loans and suggested they could put whatever they wanted on it. that is the gap where the fraud lies and where the damages will rest, when they try to compute what were the gains that came out of this. geoff: russ buettner, thank you for sharing your reporting with us this evening. russ: thanks for having me. amna: in the day's other headlines, european union leaders gathered in ukraine's capital and insisted they're still united over supporting ukraine's war effort. the meeting in kyiv came a day after the u.s. congress removed aid for ukraine from a bill to avert a government shutdown. but in washington, the white house said the consensus on ukraine is still strong. >>

at the trump organization. with a privately held company, it is incredibly difficult to understand how the value assets, how they handle the business, unless you have an insider there that is willing to give up that information, which is something that i did in seven congressional hearings, the one that you showed, 23 occasions to the d.a., to the new york attorney general. i mean, look, let me be very clear about something. there is no recovery for donald as a result of the civil case being brought tomorrow by attorney general tish james. attorney>> this ruling is callea corporate death sentence by a number of people. you obviously are playing a key role in this, but you also are a lawyer. what will it mean for trump to lose control over several of his real estate holdings in new york? what is that actually look like? >> well, first of, all i believe that it is more than just several. once he loses the license within which to operate the good standing of the certificates of incorporation that make up what is c

he will determine the extent to which the trump organization and the trump children can continue doing business in the state of new york. so i just think it's day after day, we're getting continued evidence of him as someone who feels cornered, and i think, you know, the video at the top of the show where he goes on and on about how miserable he feels that people are flipping against him, it's worth remembering, you know, over 40 years ago, when donald trump first went into business in atlantic city, he voluntarily approached the fbi and told them he would be willing to flip on other casino orders who may have mob ties in part because donald trump when he first entered atlantic city entered in partnerships with mob partners on his own properties, but it's also because he has no problem flipping himself when it serves him well. he's aligned with rudy giuliani who made a clear as a u.s. attorney by getting mobsters to flip on one another. he's been around this his whole life. he's upset now that all of these wheels are turning against him, he doesn't have the maturity, the temperament to
