women that was involved in that series, and she says she feels relieved, but she really wants to see the details of what this is. but again, we should mention that there has been an indictment, according to two sources with knowledge of this case, that r. kelly has been indicted. we are trying to get the charges he has been indicted on, brianna. sara sidner, stand by for us. thank you for bringing us all that information on the story that has just broken. r. kelly indicted. i want to bring in reba martin, analyst, and michael kane. we are working to obtain this indictment and see what the charges are. what do you think about what we know so far? this is blockbusting kind of news, brianna. women for the last two decades have been talking either privately, publicly and definitely on the documentary that sara mentioned about being abused by r. kelly as teenagers.
i florida man in federal custody accused of groping a woman on an airplane and believe it or not telling an fbi agent president trump said it s okay to touch women in their private parts. an reba martin is the author of make it rain. good evening, everyone. areva, you just heard about bruce alexander accused of groping a woman on an airplane who argued that the president said it s okay. is the president an aaccuse or an example or i don t know, what is it? well, i can tell you, don, this man is going to need a really good lawyer because at president made me do it or donald trump says it s okay, is not a legal defense. it s not going to help him out of the very serious trouble that he s in. your former guest said it right when she said flight attendants and people traveling on planes are not going to tolerate this kind of unacceptable behavior. this is what happens when you
much do you think that has empowered other men and women? i hope it s empowered women. i hope they know now that this is proof that they don t have to stay silent any more. what do you think is going to happen in terms of sentencing? does it matter to you? it doesn t matter to me. i had no control over this outcome, so my purpose from the beginning has been to tell the truth and to let andrea constand know that she was not alone and none of that has been easy for any of us. we have been vilified and called horrible names by many members of the public and some members of the media, but today, in this moment, it has been worth all of that. patricia, appreciate you taking the time for us today. thank you. thank you for asking. i also want to bring in cnn legal analyst areba martin. you and i have talked a lot about the impact of these
what they were going to find and where they were going to find it. so all of that information is already out there. my guess is that mueller has already had this stuff, he knows about it. you talk about the e-mails and i will say this. one thing of interest to me is his use of the phone. we know there have been people caught up on wires in this investigation. we don t know what s out there and what people have heard and what s been documented, things he s said. to that point, don, cnn is even reporting that cohen had a habit of recording his phone calls and that the fbi then raided his office and his home, it s pretty certain that they were able to collect perhaps recordings that he made of conversations. and we don t know if those conversations were the conversations he was having with donald trump. so though he didn t e-mail we do know he used the telephone. reba, you said that david pecker is becoming the next michael cohen. talk to me about that. we know that the federal
claim. the so-called hush payments, do you think we re going to see more of these coming out connected to the president? you know, i m not going to speculate beyond what we ve reported, but we certainly now have seen three instances of what appears to be and legal experts say, in fact, is now a pattern of efforts to bury stories. and certainly it is consistent with other matters i ve reported on where you see a certain echelon of power and influential person that is able to kill dialogue about them. i think the source that has allowed us to report this say that has national security implications when it is the president at the heart of it. now i want to bring in cnn legal analyst reba martin, the author of make it rain and former u.s. attorney michael moore. what do you think of this new report? does this appear to be part of a larger pattern to catch and kill what federal investigators are looking into? if something happens once, you can say it s an isolated
