potential-legal problems. just days after the state attorney general s office found that he sexually harassed 11 women, one of his accusers has filed a criminal complaint. just a short time ago, i had an extensive interview with the governor s personal attorney, rita glavin. let s bring back our cnn legal analyst. joey jackson. and paul callan is former new york city prosecutor. paul, i know you wanted to talk before we went to break and i wanted to hear what you had to say and follow up on something that you said before that, you know, it it may have been that he sexually that governor cuomo sexually harassed um one or more of the women, according to this report, 11 women. but didn t realize it. didn t have the intent. so, legally speaking, would that give him any cover, if it wasn t his intention? i think it gives him political cover. but i don t think, from a legal standpoint, for instance, if a sex harassment lawsuit was brought, his unintentional harassment would not be
that it s okay. let s bring in two cnn legal analysts, joey jackson is a criminal defense attorney. and paul callen is a former new york city prosecutor. great to see you, gentlemen. so we just heard from governor cuomo s personal attorney. and, paul, a big focus of hers is undermining the credibility of this report. what did you make of what rita glavin said? she was very impressive, pamela. and i mean, you questioned her very carefully and on factual issues, throughout the case. and rita glavin was very impressive, i thought, in her performance tonight. matter of fact, i was thinking if the governor was as articulate as rita, he wouldn t be in the hot water that he is in now. but what she s really put on the table here is that the governor kind of sounds like he s admitting to sexual harassment in the workplace. but he is saying i didn t intend
test. sexual harassment is serious. it shouldn t happen. there is no place for it. it should not occur, ever. but if you are alleging that it occurred, then, obviously, there has to be specific facts and corroboration to those facts. and the governor s entitled to challenge that and that s what his attorney was doing with your excellent interview, tonight. thank you. joey jackson, paul callen, stay right there. we barely even scratched the surface. we have got more. paul, hang tight. i have got more questions for you. um, also, tonight, california s largest wildfire eviscerating more than 700-square-miles and it s only 21% contained and we are going to take you there. and allyson felix becomes most decorated american track and field athlete in olympics history. will it be enough to help the u.s. close the gap with china for most gold medals in tokyo? a live report from the games, up next. welcome to allstate. where everything just seems to go your way. you re in good hands w
believe that when it comes to don mcghan that then-attorney general jeff sessions and then-deputy attorney general rod rosenstein wouldn t have known about a request for the white house counsel s records. but in talking with sources, there are some concerns that perhaps his information was swept up. that they didn t actually know who it was, whose information they had, and that wasn t actually disclosed until apple revealed it to their customer. i talked to a lot of former justice officials and said that s scary, that s going to be scary to a lot of americans. the fact that the white house counsel doesn t have much protection when it comes to his records being swept up. now of course we re also investigating reporting on the requests for records from several journalists including our colleague, barbara starr, here at cnn. later today, several several top officials from various news organizations will be meeting with the attorney general to discuss efforts to obtain reporters records
i ve seen this happen before. and now they re getting surveillance video and it s raising all kinds of questions about the depravity going on in this city, the rising crime rates that are across this country, and what makes kids do something like this? let s dig in. we have paul callen and chris. paul was involved in the central park five, he represented a couple of the officers. he remembers that period very well. paul, you re a mentor of mine. feel free to back me off it. we know the rates are going up around the country. in this city we re seeing it. homicide is even ticking up but a crime like this, when is the last time you heard of 13 and 14-year-olds knifing somebody this way when the 13-year-old described it, people in the court couldn t even take it. well, it s a horrible, horrible crime and it sends shivers across new york city. and you re right, it brings back the memory of the central park five case, which i represented
