those are questions the judge, only the judge it answer at this point. sarra, i know you want to get back into the courtroom but before i let you go, for the girls whose families don t know where they are, would r. kelly s properties be searched? would that be part of this? maybe not the bond hearing, but more broadly, this court case, these charges against him? it s a great question. there was no search warrant that we saw when these warrants came down. that is something that remains to be seen. what we can tell you, though, is that these girls, they said went in, when they were, and met them when they were around 16 or 17 years old, and now they are of age, so they are of age of consent and they can do as they please. there is nothing illegal about that. and so the families though, very concerned about their mental and physical well-being. this will be an interesting time to see if they are able to reconnect with their daughters at this point in time. this has been a very, very t
interviewed again by investigators. the empire star now opening up about what happened that night he was on his phone, talking to his manager. as i was crossing the intersection, i heard, empire. i don t answer to empire. my name ain t empire. and i didn t answer. i kept walking. and then i heard [ bleep ] empire [ bleep ], so, i turned around, and i said, [ bleep ] did you just say to me? and i see the attacker, masked, and he said, this maga country [ bleep ], punches me right in the face. so i punched his ass back. and then we started tussling. there was a second person involved who was kicking me in my back, and then it just stopped. and they ran off and the phone was in my pocket but it had fallen out and it was sitting there and my manager was still on the phone and he s like, what s going on? and i said, i was just jumped.
that s already happened and we re only two questioners in. ellie, kind of on the main point that he was asked if he had been briefed on the special counsel s investigation, he says yes. then asked multiple times, multiple times he says yes, he s been briefed. dodds that as sensitive information? i m trying to get at the application of i will answer or i won t answer. theoretically it could be sensitive, but practically who cares? i think what will be interesting to watch for is when is he going to invoke executive privilege? that s when the rubber hits the road. when lawyer roa jaret talk about before, when he gets asked about the conversation with the president about the southern district s investigation. lawyera had reported that the president lashed out.
here. harry, executive privilege, does that mean we re getting nothing? short answer is yes. sorry about that. if he s going to step a baby step away from invoking it and this is what the chess match was about yesterday and he s essentially pinned nadler. anything that could be executive privilege, my conversations with trump, i won t answer. that s not the same as a formal invocation, but i think they ve in terms of getting the answers, what does it matter if it s right next to a formal or it is a formal? is he answering or not? no. and the difference is for court terms. if he says, executive privilege, they say, here s your subpoena. he says, see you in court. and maybe a few years pass. what they re going to want now is as much information as they can and there will be he will want to keep this dull, talk
but if he says i have respect for the institution would say i won t answer. eric: he had a doj lawyer there. he didn t know the genesis of the investigation. he wasn t clear on that. here is the back and forth with congressman gowdy. when did you learn much gps and per kin coie? that seems to be a slam dunk to know christopher steele was being used by the fbi then fired for apparently talking to the media. he s the fbi director and he didn t know it? somebody who is a figurehead maybe wouldn t know it. but jim comey had a re reputatin
