Transcripts For CNNW The 20240704

Jake tapper and we start today with Breaking News and a cnn exclusive for the first time the man and only previously known as Employee Number five. In the Trump Federal classified documents case, is publicly going on the record about what he saw Behind The Scenes at maralago and how he ended up handling boxes of classified documents without even knowing it or having the clearance to do so trump Employee Number five is a man named brian butler he has worked at maralago for 20 years. He wasnt just any regular employee. We should note he handled the car service at trumps florida resort. Often directly making sure that donald trump and all of his belongings were moved from place to place, meaning he saw moments and movements and heard conversations that are now part of special counsel jack smiths indictment of Donald Trumps cnns Kaitlan Collins, Katelyn Polantz, our breaking the story for us and joining us now, Kaitlan Collins, it start with you, so you sat down with butler earlier today. What did he tell you . Yeah. Jake brian butler may not be a household name, but he is someone who is a central figure in the maralago classified documents case because he worked for donald trump for the last 20 years since he was 19 years old. And now he finds himself at the center of jack smiths indictment of the former president in the classified documents case. And is privy to key parts of that testimony that we read through in those indictments, he provided a lot of that testimony to the special counsels team about key moments that now will likely potentially go on trial as soon as this summer in this case, one of those jake that youre about to listen to, it moment that we spoke about where main butler told us about how he was on this day in june 2022, not knowing what exactly he was doing, but he was asked to help load boxes. Banker boxes, on to trumps plane at an airport in palm beach, florida as the former president was set to go to new jersey now what he did not realize that the time that was happening, then was trumps team, his legal team was meeting with members of the fbi at maralago after they had just performed a search of that storage room looking for classified documents, which we now know based on the indictment. Of course, that Evan Corcoran trumps attorney, who was looking through those documents walt nauta and others had moved many boxes out of that room. Now, brian butler, who is known and reference six times as trump Employee Number five in the superseding indictment was asked to help walt nauta, who is trumps body man, turned codefendant, load those documents onto the plane. Heres what he told us about that moment and then what happened is walt left before me and he never goes directly to the plane. Hes either in the motorcade when he goes there with the boss, which the former president. And i remember telling him he left the club with i didnt know what he had in his vehicle, but he waited for me nearby business. And i told him i would tell him when i was leaving maralago. So i left maralago. I texted him, hey, im on my way. He followed me. He pulled out and got behind me. We got to the airport. I ended up loading all the luggage i had and he had a bunch of foxxs. You noticed that he had thought they were the boxes that were in the indictment, the white bankers boxes. Thats what i remember loading. And did you have any time any idea at the time that there was potentially Us National Security secrets in his box and no clue no i had no clue. I mean, we were just taking them out of the escalate piling them up. I remember they were all stacked on top of each other and then were lifting them up to the pilots. How many boxes was it . They. Asked me in the interview and i believe it was i tend to 15 is what i remember. I know the investigators, correct . And when you look back on that, now, what i had no clue until probably the end of june, theres a few Different Things that happen that kind of opened my eyes to you know, somethings going on here so you get that unusual request. Did you ever think to yourself why were there so many boxes at maralago . For me. Im just thinking out of the former president and he has a lot of stuff he likes to lug around with them. I never wouldve thought it was anything like what we see testify jake it is just a remarkable moment. Kaitlan collins and ive been reporting on this story along with the rest of our team, but reporting on this story for, for so long in this moment it is so remarkable to hear from someone who has not spoken publicly before, but clearly just by his proximity and his longstanding time hi, guys at the former president s club was able to provide such valuable information to investigators about what was happening here while heal, he himself, jake was still piecing this all together Behind The Scenes Katelyn Polantz, mother quit his job at maralago in about a yearandahalf ago in late 2022. Y come forward to share his story now he says that he just wants to tell the truth. Jake, that was one of them messages that came across loud and clear from brian butler when he was speaking to Kaitlan Collins earlier today, one of the things that makes him so unique in this situation as a witness is that not only this witness not only is he trump employee five in that indictment, but he also is someone who is using a different layer to represent him in this case, hes refused to take any possible boiler that the trump team could provide him and used somewhat he knew separately as his way of setting him apart. And now his reflection upon this, a pad in the past last year, the fbi approached him in his driveway about a year ago, just this day, he saying that trump is dividing the nation. Its divided relationships. Hes had with others and just now hes putting the Puzzle Pieces together here. And Kaitlan Collins, did mr. Butlers say he felt any pressure at all from trump or maralago or anyone affiliated with the former president to not cooperate with special counsel jack smiths team it maybe not have been may not was explicit. Is that j but what he felt pressure on was the attorney and the reason this is so critical eggs, theres a very clear divide when you look at this case of who has an attorney that is being paid by trump world and who is paying for their own and the divergent paths that they have taken on this misley, carlos de oliveira, who was his very close friend that kaitlan mentioned there. He has an attorney who is being paid for by trumps world. He is someone who was indicted in that superseding indictment. And i should note that these two have not spoken since then he was indicted in that for lying to federal investigators about what he knew and what he saw brian butler on the other hand, said that he faced repeated requests and attempts to try to keep him in that trump fold when it came to having a trump attorney itself. And so i think that is a critical distinction here, jake, as weve seen, how people who leave this orbit and what happens to them. And one thing that i think is really important is this is just a regular person who who was working at maralago for 20 years by happenstance of what he saw, what he witnessed, and what he was asked to do. He has become a witness in this investigation and had fbi investigators approach him and seek him out. And now he has spoken to them on multiple occasions, as he told me today during this remarkable sit down found that Kaitlyn Polantz and i have with him, he said that, yes, he is willing to testify if this goes to trial this summer. All right. Kaitlan collins and Katelyn Polantz. Thanks so much and look for much more on this exclusive interview from Kaitlan Collins in just a few hours on her show. The source thats tonight at nine eastern here on cnn. I want to bring in cnn senior legal analyst former federal prosecutor elie honig to discuss elie, how important is this news . How important is brian butlers testimony for the special counsels Team Building a case against trump and his codefendants. And was there any significant and what you heard him say, just them . Yeah, jake so this type of witness is gold for prosecutors and theres a few reasons for that. First of all, this person has insider access. He is literally inside the room as kaitlan just laid out. Hes there when boxes are being loaded onto the plane and one of the challenges for prosecutors here is explaining exactly where these documents were moved and when and by i whom in this person can give us exactly why second of all, hes a person who appears to be unbiased. He doesnt seem to have any reason to have an ax to grind with donald trump as kaitlan said, hes a longtime two decades long employee of donald trump and the trump organization, just based on the snippet that we just saw, he does not appear to be angry or resentful towards donald trump. Finally, if you look at his testimony and you look at the indictment, he appears to be well corroborated by documents by certain text chains that are referenced in the indictment and by testimony of some of the defendants themselves, walt nauta and carlos de oliviera. So this is really the kind of witness that you want to build around as a prosecutor so whats the basic worth of his testimony . He can establish the boxes came in. He was not told that they were valuable, had important State Secrets in them and he just treated them like anything else. And they were stored in common areas and not stored with any potential security . Yeah. I think thats part of it. I think its also very damning in particular to walt nauta and mr. De olivera, who are both defendants in this case because theyre directing him what to do with the boxes. And if you look at the indictment, jake, this guy, mr. Whose referenced in the indictment as employee five, hes in the middle of others thanks to hes a witness primarily, but for example, when it comes time to try to check out the Surveillance Video, remember part of this case is that at one point trump and the other defendants were trying to figure out what do we have on the Surveillance Video . Can we delete it . He overhears and hes part of conversations about that as well. So i think hes a multifaceted witness for prosecutors and butler describes multiple times was offered attorneys paid for by trump or the trump organization. He says he was repeatedly told he could always go back and work for trump as well as offered things such as free golf tickets. Could any of that be seen as attempts of Witness Tampering . So there is no independent charge of Witness Tampering in the indictment however, that could still be very valuable information for prosecutors to use because the pattern is unmistakable. Weve seen it again and again in this case, in other Trump Investigations that he and his organizations offer to pick up the legal bills that they sort of dangle other potential rewards for people if they stay loyal. Now its hard to connect that directly in a way where it can charge and weve not seen a charge here, but you can absolutely use that as a prosecutor to say, look, this is their motive. Theyre trying to keep people in the fold. Theyre trying to keep people from flipping against them. Elie honig, thanks so much also this afternoon, donald trump is trying to claim president ial immunity in a different case. Plus his attempt to delay proceedings. All this is brand new.

Today, Attorneys For Trump filed a motion asking a New York State Supreme Court court judge to delay the start of the case until the us Supreme Court finishes reviewing his claim of president ial immunity in the federal election subversion case. Lets bring in a special guest, barbara mcquade, a former us attorney and author of a New York Times bestseller called attack from within. How disinformation is sabotaging america barbara, thanks so much for joining us. Trumps delay strategy does appear to be working for him of the four criminal cases against trump, which you see as the biggest threat. And do you think that one that you think is the biggest threat . We will hear before the election. Well, jake, i think the biggest threat really is the federal election interference case. Thats the one that really goes to the heart of his efforts to steal an election yet opposite of what he alleged to be true and his big lie. I dont know whether it will go to trial before the election. I think there is a 25 chance if i were to put a number on it and that all depends on how quickly the Supreme Court makes its decision. This one, the alvin bragg case, i think its an interesting strategy in an effort clearly to delay things, to say we need to hear from the Supreme Court first before this case can be decided because of president ial immunity. But i think alvin bragg has a countermove here, which is only a very thin slice of this case, involves acts occurring while donald trump was president. So if he were to simply remove that evidence from the case, he could indeed go forward on march 25th. What is your reaction to what cnns Kaitlan Collins and Katelyn Polantz just reported a few minutes ago from brian butler, former maralago employee previously known as Employee Number five, and the Trump Classified documents case well, as a former prosecutor, i went a little bit whenever a witness goes public, but as elie said, this is a very powerful witness because he somebody on the inside, i think oftentimes a defendant and including donald trump will try to portray the and jack smith and the prosecutors as out to get him and biased against him in some way. But when youve got someone like this witness, mr. Butler is a longtime confidant of donald trump, a longtime employee alongside loyalist, who simply says, i want to tell the truth. I think that can be a very powerful witness and also provides that sort of insider perspective. Its very difficult to crossexamine. Were also expecting a major decision this week on a different case, whether the judge in trumps georgia case will disqualify the district attorney. The prosecutor, fani willis, for the romantic relationships she had with a prosecutor leading the case, nathan wade, the argument from trumps attorneys is that perhaps they even are prosecuting donald trump because of these trips they took together and they also say an appearance of impropriety is enough to remove her from the case do you think that her actions have created a Conflict Of Interest and do you think shell be disqualified . Yeah. This freeze Conflict Of Interest is one that people are using a little too loosely, i think. And so does she have a Conflict Of Interests with regard to the management of her office by by hiring and then having a relationship with nathan wade absolutely. As she may have an ethics issue on her hands for an undisclosed relationship. But the important question that the judge will be deciding is, does she have a Conflict Of Interests with regard to the defendants in this case . Can she be fair . And theres nothing that weve seen in this evidence that has anything to do with the guilt or innocence of these defendants or in any way suggest that there was a financial motive for her in indicting them. So i think that unless theres some facts that are published the unknown at this phase, i dont see the judge removing her from this. Lets talk about your new book attack from within about disinformation. You write something really interesting. You describe as tribe over truth, as the phenomenon. You argue that americans are so aligned with their political tribes both on the right and the left that theyre willing to sacrifice facts and truth. Do you think we could see this dynamic play out in the juries in these cases, not to mention, of course, the ballot box well, you know, Jury Selection is designed to weed out people who have biases, who have an alignment with one party or the other and cant be fair. And so therell be asked a number of questions to try to ensure that its a fair jury, but sure. Its a possibility. I mean, someone could come in and not reveal some of their biases and theres strong attitudes about things. And it only takes one juror to hang a jury at which results in a mistrial. The prosecution can bring the case again, but of course, that wouldnt happen until well after the election, but i remain confident that jury system is the best system on earth. And that through a rigorous word, your process, we can find 12 people people who can be fair in this cases. Your book has certainly timely efforts to mislead americans and voters are a top concern for state Election Officials as they prepare for the election this november just last month, pennsylvania governor josh shapiro launched a task force to combat misinformation in pennsylvania. Trumps repeatedly attacked the results of the 2020 election despite quite exhaustive frack checks, court cases finding no evidence of widespread voter fraud and yet just last month, a Washington Post poll finds that 62 of republicans believe inaccurately that there is solid evidence of widespread voter fraud from 2020 what solutions do you suggest to combat that given that this tribe over truth seems very baked in . Yes. So i think there are a number of things we can do. Some of them are related to online solutions. And so for example, we know that some of these social Media Companies are deliberately promoting content designed to outrageous. I think that we could put some controls in place, not to regulate content online, but to regulate the algorithms that are driving us apart and pitting us against each other. I think we could do some work in the area of Campaign Finance laws to get some of the dark money out of our politics is Citizens United case said that corporations and other organizations have First Amendment and it writes to unlimited spending in elections. But what we can do is require the disclosure of whos behind these ads. So we know when its special interests whose lying to us about certain kinds of things. But then i also think that im hoping my book will spark a National Conversation about truth. As liz cheney said in her book, we cannot have democracy without true and i think that there are people who are choosing, as you said, tribe over truth, that is, i care more about winning than i care about facts. And thats got to change. Barbara mcquade. Thank you. Her book is called attack from within. And it is available now, coming up next the public riff, the world is witnessing with Benjamin Netanyahu on a warpath, ready to head the into rafah, Where Hundreds Of Thousands of Palestinian Civilians are taking shelter.

Pride that every day, millions say, i use splenda im paula reid in washington, and this is cnn in our world, lead President Joe Biden on saturday said that an israeli invasion of rafah in gaza would be in his view, a red line, a red line that israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu might be willing to Cross Netanyahu says he is going to push ahead with a Military Offensive in rafah, where nearly 100 million palestinians are currently taking in shelter after already being displaced from their homes in israels war against hamas. This threat of a new invasion comes at the beginning of ramadan, a holy month for muslim cnns Jeremy Diamond takes a look now at the competing claims about whether an offensive during ramadan is imminent. He has a right to defend israel, a right to continue to pursue hamas. But he must, he must, he must pay more attention to the innocent lives being lost as a consequence of the actions taken President Bidens mounting frustrations with israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu now bursting into full view. Hes hurting in my view. Hes hurting israel more than helping israel and israeli Prime Minister firing back well, i dont know exactly what the president meant. But if he meant by that, that im pursuing private policies against the majority. The wish of the majority of israelis and that this is hurting the interests of israel. Then hes wrong on both counts. The time its vowing a rafah offensive, which biden has cautioned against. Well come well go there. Were not going to leave i have a red line. You know what the red line is . That october 7 doesnt happen. Again, israeli officials tell cnn that offensive is not imminent. More forces must still pour into gaza and a plan to evacuate civilians has yet to be finalized. And holy month of ramadan is now a key part of that backdrop. Ramadan begins tensions in jerusalems old city are all betty flaring, wielding the tomans Israeli Police, forcefully pushing back palestinians at a gate to the alaqsa mosque compound its not clear how this scene began but on the first night of ramadan cnn witnessed Israeli Police refusing to allow at least two dozen, mostly young palestinians men to enter the mosque. Sometimes before even checking their ideas and disturbing Public Security is the official reason given over and over for again, without explanation on how am i disturbing Public Security . What did i do wrong . This man asked the officer, im not going back i want to pray, but the answer is the same. This is the fifth was six gate are trying to enter from and they didnt say anything but disturbance of Public Security and they simply sent us back. My soul is connected to alaqsa, depriving me from alaqsa as if they deprive me of what its very difficult for me to a level i cant even describe i will go home. May god give you health and we dont get it Israeli Police said in a statement, increased inspections were carried out and that they are acting to allow Freedom Of Worship while balancing security and safety needs hes really government said last week, it wouldnt impose new restrictions on entry to the mosque during at least the first week of ramadan, allowing access to a similar number of worshiper as last year. But these first denials raised questions about how israeli officials will handle the Tens Of Thousands of worshippers expected for friday at a prayers, especially amid tensions over the war in gaza and kalamata, when you decide who to enter and who not to, you are creating problems, everyone should be free to pray inside the us, elderly woman and children, everyone and tonight jake, the old city of jerusalem remains quiet as Israeli Police allowed all worshippers to enter the alaqsa mosque compound without incident, but all eyes are now fixed on this friday, the first friday prayers of ramadan, which has been a flashpoint in previous years, questions about what kinds of restrictions the israeli the government will enforce some of those questions being answered tonight as the Israeli Government signals that some palestinians from the west bank men over age 55, women over age 50 will be able to go to jerusalem and pray at the alaqsa mosque. Jake Jeremy Diamond live for us in jerusalem. Thank you so much. On october 7 more than 1,200 israelis, most of them civilians, were killed by hamas is Terrorist Attack on israel more than 200 people were kidnapped and taken back to gaza as hostages today israeli officials estimate that 99 people are still alive and being held in gaza so along with the bodies of 31 hostages who were killed, joining us now, or six Family Members who have loved ones being held hostage. Thank you so much for being here. Its an awful circumstance and were going to continue to cover it motion. Let me start with you your brotherinlaw, omri miran, weve told the story before. Hes being held hostage in gaza. He has a wife, your sister lishay, and two daughters. Youre all in washington, dc today. What are you hoping to hear from american lawmakers . I think this is a critical week for the war, for israel, for the hostages. And of course as well for the palestinian noncombatants. We hoping to hear this week that negotiations are still in full force, that there is an approach to pressure cammas through qatar, through egypt, through other stakeholders, possibly russia or turkey, in order to ensure that hamas agrees to the framework, as we know now, and President Biden said last week, i met the secretary general, the un also echoed those sentiments. There is an agreement on the table. Hamas refuses to agree to it, and we have to use all levers. And i hope american lawmakers will do the effort to pressure wherever they can, especially qatar, to allow hamas to free the palestines from there. Theyre also captives of hamas. And of course free or loved ones. My brotherinlaw, mri, and the rest, 133 hostages daniel, your grandfather, oded is still being held hostage. Your grandmother, yafa, that was released, President Biden is pledging to stand by israel. He says he is quote, never going to leave israel. He doesnt sound as committed to netanyahu. I have to say, how what are your feelings about americas response . Ons to this crisis so my feeling is that i think for the last month i see real big progress of the push of biden for the release of the hostages. And that is very positive for us. As my family, as you said, my grandma is back, my grandfather is still a hostage is a Grand Grandfather of my daughter imagined at fouryearsold Grand Grandfather held hostage in gaza now 457 days with the family that from one side, the joy of my grandma coming back. Who was, you know, just amazing. But the feelings, the mixed feeling is so overwhelming of one side, my grandma back, my grandfather is still there. Yeah. The family is really ripped apart and its not only my family is a familys as the true panel family which the mother and the grandmother came back. And the only child and only grandchild is still there. Cunio family, katzir family. Those families or just ripped. We have to close this hostages case to bring back those Families Together sharon you had two brothers that were kidnapped shneaqua clean. There were Kidnapped Yossi and elie, your brother, yossi, was being held by hamas in gaza when he was killed. De you know first of all, im so sorry. Do you know how he died . Probably because the attack of idf dilatory we know hes killed. But he drugged to every are fighting for the family. Yossi was murdered by hamas because he had been dragged there. So even if he was killed by idf, he shouldnt have been there to begin with. So you hold it, you hold hamas responsible yes. No matter for us, if its from volatile hamas well, idf, he was taken to area of fighting. Its very complicated situation. And actually he wasnt murdered. My deepest condolences may his memory be a blessing to your family . Boas, your cousin, aviv, was previously thought to be held hostage. His wife was held hostage, but later released. It, then came out that your cousin of iv was killed on october 7, seventh, but his body is still being held in gaza. Can you explain to our viewers why it is so important for the bodies of your loved ones to be released back to israel as well. Because for the families, theres really no closure you can you can really realize that that its over until, until the bodies or are there and get buried but really to me, its its as important even more important that the people who are still alive that will come the young women, the grandmothers, grandfathers the young man thats even more important really to me personally, because they are still alive and we can still we can still help them. Where as for my my cousin, unfortunately, we can tell him anymore im so sorry. May his memory be a blessing . Gilad your son tall, was being held captive separately from his wife, audie and their two children. Now, then yahel six of his extended Family Members, including his wife and kids, were released on november 25th, have you heard anything about your son since then . Well, yes.

Every day they raped they held taken by Tail Terrorist this is a hostage daniel lifshitz. Your grandfather, oded, is still being held. Your grandmother, yafa, that was released. What do you want people to know . About what youre going through and tell us something about your grandfather. Tell us something about oded so first of all, what im going through is that every day in the last hundred and 57 days, this swirl of course, there is not ending were on it and im going everywhere. And trying to pull up every stone i can from doha to new york mets. Ambassadors does everything for that and my grandfather would expect me to do that because he would do the same for any person that need that for an i want to say now the thing thats my best friend, the levee would in which she celebrate his birthday tomorrow now were diverse day here. Hes right. How old is it turning . 36, tomorrow, his wife, segall. She were in the safe from for 67 hours with three little kids and 39 weeks of pregnancy lucky. She survived it and heard son, yotam is asking every night mommy. Did they were finish here . Is daddy coming home . And the way to end this war is keeping pressure from the us on all the parties bringing together to a table to end this war in two things, pressing qatar, the israel is pressing hamas doing that. Speaking on the day after and talking about whats going to happen in gaza. Show that there is some sort of future for the Palestinian People, that people can look at boas. What do you want people to know . That, the Hostage Release dealing iliac came back in november 29, since then they are almost three months and two hostages were released by force. Only 134 are still there so the only way to bring the hostages back is through a deal. And a deal basically, if you want to bring everybody back, that means also the end of the war, ceasefire, end of war some political arrangement in gaza that will not mean hamas continuing to rule, right . And thats, thats essential for bringing the hostages home, but thats also essential for ending the horrific situation in gaza in the hungry and everything. So an end to war is essential and happen to have to happen now. And thats what you were saying. Also, gilad, your son, is a hostage, but you dont want the Palestinian People to suffer. You want this war to end. You want the hostages home . Yes, i want my their stages home. I want my son soon as possible home. We tried to recover the family that came back from gaza. Its impossible to do it without the father or they will not be any recovery for any families without their lovers will not be any quiet and israel without, the hostages. And we really, really believed the after, after the hostages will come back, everything were relaxed again, not loving in hugging and anymore maybe years. But all the area will relax and i say i asked President Biden and united sates force all the parties force or the parties included qatar, egypt, and israel, to sit in negotiation table. Dont leave it until its end. There is madonna one months and then pesa and now everybody is invocations and we dont let forget the hostages musher your final word my word is is for the wider public with her hand, us and worldwide, we cannot normalize hostagetaking. We cannot normalize Terrorist Action is coming committed by hamas on october 7. Yesterday, we saw the oscar. The oscars were people wearing a pin, the Floss Israelis remind The Lynch In Ramallah in the second intifada, red hand pen. I dont know that they all knew where the man i dont think they did at the same time, i want them to where this Yellow Ribbon support a ceasefire. You need to support the return of the hostages. If you support a humanitarian clause, cause off the palestinian you need to support humanitarian cause of the hostages. You cannot simply call for a ceasefire without reminding them reminding often, mic off to the American Public. Unite behind us if unite behind the families of hostages, i can promise you that we can start seeing an end to this node, a focus, focus on the hostages and negotiating solely on that. After that, we have so many decades to finish its conflict and finally, live in coexisting with our neighbors. But we will not be able to live with them in coexistence as long as hostages. So still there, and as long as radical elements like hamas, War Emboldened by people like those were wearing those pins yesterday are still in power in gaza.

Call us and take the hearing life 30day riskfree challenge king charles wednesday at ten on cnn in our Law And Justice lead now hundreds of cases involving dna evidence from the Colorado Bureau of investigation have been called into question. And investigation alleges a former Forensic Scientists repeatedly tampering with dna test results. Cnns Josh Campbell joins us now. Josh, how did this come to light yeah. So this was launched back in late last year, an Internal Affairs review after authorities determined that this Forensic Scientists, missy woods, had tested dna in a way that a dvt he aided from standard operating procedure. Now in order to circumvent any possible Conflict Of Interests, the Colorado Bureau of investigation brought into Kansas Bureau of investigation. Theyve been going through all of these cases that she had worked on. Ill show you some of their key findings. They found that she had omitted material facts in Certain Records that she had tampered with dna testing by omitting some results she had violated data retention, Quality Control policies, and then allegedly deleted data to try to cover up that failure. Now about 652 cases have been impacted thus far, authorities are still going back in order to do or fulsome review. We did get an a statement in from her attorney. Ill read you part of that. The attorney says, woods has never created or reported any false inculpatory dna matches or exclusions, nor has she testified falsely in any hearing or trial resulting in a false conviction or unjust imprisonment. Its worth pointing out that as its Internal Affairs review goes on, there was also a separate Criminal Investigation also going on according to authorities, jake, you understand this is the Nightmare Scenario for investigators, for prosecutors curators, when youre talking about potential convictions that now have to be reviewed. Of course, The Big Question is there anyone who was wrongfully convicted by her alleged shoddy analysis here will still have to wait and see and then finally, a significant cost to taxpayers the Colorado Department of Public Safety has now requested over 7 million in order to go back and do this test testing.
