Switch to Philips Sonicare today. Philips sonicare. Save when you buy now. Good afternoon to you. Im Jacob Soboroff in los angeles. We continue to follow breaking news out of suburban philadelphia. The judge in the bill cosby criminal trial declaring a mistrial earlier today after 52 hours of deliberations, the jury came back deadlocked on all counts. Cosby was charged with three felony counts of aggravated indecent assault. He and his team have repeatedly denied these and all allegations of Sexual Misconduct. The District Attorney says theyre not giving up. We will evaluate and review our case, we will take a hard look at everything involved and then we will retry it. Bill cosbys wife camille released a statement blasting the d. A. The statement was read by a member of cosbys team. How do i describe the District Attorney . Heinously and exploitively ambitious. How do i describe the judge . Overtly arrogant in collaborating with the District Attorney. How do i describe the counsels for the accusers. Totally unethical lets bring in nbcs ron allen. Im curious, what was the mood after the mistrial was declared . Reporter well, you heard the cosby spokesperson and others who were not declaring victory so much as venting their frustration, their anger, i should say, about the fact this case was even brought. They have been saying all along that it should have been dismissed, that this happened long ago, that it was consensual and they accused the District Attorney, kevin steele, of being politically motivated. He did make going after bill cosby part of his recent Election Campaign and that is something the cosby thats what mrs. Cosby was referring to in that statement. Also here outside the courthouse, there were a number of other women who have accused bill cosby of various Sexual Misconduct ranging from groping to touching to rape, charges that of course cosby has denied. They were disappointed, upset, but resilient to say they are going to continue to fight for justice, they will continue to try and have other women who have been victims to speak out and to support them. There is also a statement i can read you from Andrea Constand, the accusers lawyer, that was just released. One important line in it says she thanks all the prosecutors and so forth, but she says also that she hopes that this has given a voice to the voiceless, that this was an opportunity to show people who are victims of sexual abuse that they can have a voice in a court of law. You heard the District Attorney saying hes going to continue this fight, hes going to take bill cosby to trial again and the judge has said that could happen in as soon as 120 days. What will be different next time . In this case it was Andrea Constand against bill cosby and one other accuser was allowed to testify. Many more would have been prejudicial to cosby, the judge ruled. This time, the prosecutors are going to press harder, im sure, to have more women who are alleged victims of bill cosby, accusers of him, speaking out in court in a trial where he can be found either guilty or innocent. Nbcs ron allen, appreciate it. Lets bring in legal analyst deborah turkhiemer and ted williams. Good to see you both. Gloria allred, attorney to some of the accusers in this extended bill cosby Sexual Assault allegations, had this reaction. We can never underestimate the blinding power of celebrity. But justice will come. I hope that the prosecution will try this case again and that the next time, the court will permit more prior bad act witnesses to testify as the prosecution had requested. Deborah, what do you think . Would the outcome have been different here if more accusers were allowed to step up and testify . I suspect it would have been. There would have been even more corroboration of Andrea Constands testimony. As it was, there was corroboration and yet it was clearly not enough for this jury to reach a unanimous verdict. Were several more of these 60 accusers to come into court, tell the story of what happened to them, i suspect it would have made a difference. I believe we have some additional statements from some of those accusers after the mistrial was declared today. I would like to play some of those for you and get your reaction. It is time for rape and violence to stop so the healing can start. He thought he could bury us. He didnt know we were seeds. We are sprouting up, we are looking for reform, uncovering the rape culture in this country where victims are blamed and shamed. Ted, same question to you. If more voices like those were heard on the stand at the trial, how would it have changed the outcome . Its debatable because i think to bring more of these victims in, that it would be substantially more prejudicial than probative. Lets be clear here. These are 60 women who i believe are victims. They are all over the country. Nobody can say that all of these people lived in one neighborhood where they got together on bill cosby. So its more reasonable that these individuals were victims of bill cosby. But when we look at the constand case, hes on trial for sexually molesting Andrea Constand. Not these other 60 victims. To bring them in, i dont know how much it really is going to help and it would be more prejudicial i believe than probative. Im curious to get your take, deborah, on whats going to take in terms of getting a retrial up and running. We heard from nbcs ron allen it could take up to 120 days. What comes into play here . Well, obviously both sides are going to want to look back very carefully over these transcripts, look at the testimony that each of the witnesses gave, maybe rethink some of the arguments made in Opening Statements and on closing statements. But you know, at the end of the day, i think the trial that we are going to see next will look much like this trial and the difficulty here, i believe, was that the prosecution has to prove beyond a reasonable doubt what cosbys state of mind was. We dont yet know what this juror thought or what this jury thought or how it got hung up, but it seems likely to me that those additional accusers coming into court might help the prosecution satisfy its burden of proving, for instance, that he, cosby, administered these drugs for the purpose of preventing resistance. Thats the kind of pattern of conduct that can be helpful to a jury grappling with these kind of charges. But hes admitted, hes already admitted vis a vis a transcript that he did, in fact, give women quaaludes in order to have sex with them. Thats in the record already. This jury had that. But what this jury also had was that constand waited one year, she then got paid. After she got paid she testified that she was in and out of consciousness at a certain time. They found or the defense presented phone records showing that she was on the telephone at the time she said she was in and out of consciousness. She also called him 53 times after this. She, meaning constand, did this. So then there was a concert in canada where cosby was performing. She was there with her mother and father. That is the evidence. That evidence will not change in a new trial. What about, ted, if bill cosby were to take the stand . You said in the depositions we already know bill cosby admitted to giving quaaludes to women. We heard that from him up on the stand, would we have had a different outcome . I think you absolutely would have had a different outcome. Hell, no. You want to keep if you are a lawyer, you want to keep bill cosby far away from the stand. The problem is the prosecution and the jury heard from bill cosby because they used his transcribed testimony. That was their way, meaning the prosecution, of getting bill cosby on the stand. But the problem with that is there was no chance to cross examine him. I believe that in and of itself would have been an appellate issue. We have to run but i want your take. Do you agree with ted there, that had bill cosby taken the stand we would have seen a different outcome today . Well, of course, its difficult to know. I suspect that cosby would not have made a particularly good witness. The crossexamination that the prosecution could do would likely have helped the case substantially. We really dont know. The prosecution has to educate the jury and next time around will certainly aim to do this, about why an accuser might delay in reporting, why there might be inconsistencies in an account that have nothing to do with what actually happened in the case. I think this trial represents a Public Education in some of those issues and thats for the good, but on the next goround, you can be sure the prosecution is going to do everything in its power to explain to the jury that these efforts to undermine her credibility really should come to naught. All right. Thank you both so much for joining us. Now to breaking news off the coast of japan. A search is under way for seven missing u. S. Sailors. They were lost after the u. S. Missile destroyer they were on collided with a container ship friday night. The collision caused significant flooding and damage near and on the bridge of the uss fitzgerald. Three more u. S. Sailors were injured. We have been monitoring the situation from japan and have more details. What more do we know about these missing sailors . Reporter well, the uss fitzgerald has been towed back to the u. S. Navy port which is tucked in a cove behind the harbor here, 16 hours after the incident had happened, suffering significant damage as you see from the pictures on the forward starboard side. The ship has limited propulsion and it suffered some flooding in two berthing spaces, a machinery space as well as the radio room. The main concern right now, though, is the whereabouts and wellbeing of seven sailors who are still unaccounted for. It just isnt clear what had happened. Its not known whether they are trapped in those damaged spaces or whether they fell overboard there. Are several u. S. And japanese boats and aircraft that are searching the area in order to find them. The captain of the ship was evacuated to the u. S. Navy hospital here. There were two other crew members that suffered cuts and bruises. U. S. President trump of course issued that message on twitter hours after people were criticizing him for saying nothing about the incident, he sent his best wishes to the uss fitzgerald families and thanks to the government of japan for help. But the president still coming ur under criticism for the number of key diplomatic positions in the region that are still unfilled, including the ambassador of japan. So the focus right now very much on trying to find these seven sailors and we are expecting an update here later in the day. Terrifying pictures. We of course hope for the safe return of those sailors. Thank you. Much more ahead on that breaking news we have been following, a mistrial in bill cosbys assault case. Next, we turn to politics and President Trumps growing legal team. The new high profile attorney the president s hired and what that means for the investigation he and his associates are under.

Advisers to President Donald Trump say hes growing increasingly agitated with the ongoing russia probe into his administration. In an Associated Press report they describe the president as increasingly angry, going as far as yelling at Television Sets in the white house carrying coverage. The president then insists hes the target of a conspiracy to discredit and potentially end his presidency. Theres also word the commander in chief has hired attorney john dowd. He is expected to assist the president s personal legal team in its handling of questions related to russian interference in the 2016 election. President trump continues to tweet about the russia investigation, saying i am being investigated for firing the fbi director by the man who told me to fire the fbi director. Witch hunt. Joining us with the latest from the white house is nbcs kelly odonnell. A lot of conflicting reports on what the president s next moves going to be when it comes to the russia investigation. What are you hearing today . Reporter sources say he has not been informed officially by the office of the special counsel that he is under investigation so the tweet you referred to there, they say he was simply sort of echoing the published reports, news accounts, that say the probe will be staring at President Trump and his own actions with respect to the firing of james comey and other things that may be tied to this investigation that has gone on now for quite some time as it takes some new turns. In terms of the irritation or the frustration from the president , it seems evident in some of the ways that he speaks to the public using his social media which he says that despite advice not to do so, its his way of communicating directly to 100 million followers. The president not always taking the advice of lawyers but as you point out, he has expanded his legal team and in naming john dowd, who is a veteran of washington, d. C. Legal scandals and these kinds of issues where he has done cases that deal with areas of ethics and has been in some high profile situations related to the iran contrainvestigation during the reagan administration, the keating 5 which had to do with the savings and loan crisis in the 80s. But for sports fans he may be better known for being the person who led the Major League Baseball investigation into gambling over pete rose, the superstar from the Cincinnati Reds who was ultimately banned from the sport. So President Trump has brought on someone who has the kind of criminal defense attorney background adding to his team. We dont have any expectations that theres something imminent with the president. Obviously the work of the special counsel goes on quietly, methodically, and this weekend, fathers day, happy fathers day to you, the president is spending this time with his family at camp david and thats the first time they have visited the retreat in maryland since the president took office. My little man cant talk yet. I appreciate you saying that. Eventually he will be able to say it to me. Interesting to hear that tweets may be official statements according to the white house but they still need interpretation from president ial aides. Kelly odonnell, thanks a lot. Joining us now are politico reporter Daniel Lipman along with opinion writer for the Washington PostJennifer Ruben and former senior cia officer and writer, john cipher. Why would the president bring on additional counsel, john dowd, regarding russia . So with the initial hire of marc kasowitz, he doesnt have any washington investigative experience. He really is a real estate lawyer and trump was getting flack from his allies saying you need someone with d. C. Experience to handle mueller and his 13 attorneys and the whole fbi which is looking at you. So thats kind of his he needs more people in his corner. Jennifer, the president s tweets, kelly and i were just talking about this, they are official president ial statements but you still need the white house to interpret them for you. Are they going to come back to haunt the president . I think they are. I think this is the problem with President Trump which is hes his own worst enemy. The tweets are going to be evidence if they pursue an obstruction of justice decision. I think his statements show that hes really at this point losing control of himself and i think thats why his family and his existing legal team has been pleading with him to stop, to no avail. John, we were talking about this last hour. At this point, what are the odds the president would attempt to fire Deputy Attorney general Rod Rosenstein or bob mueller . I dont know about the odds of it but it would be a tremendous problem. In fact, when he fired the fbi director, i remember talking to the person i was with, this could be the beginning of the end because now hes starting to do things to attack institutions. I certainly understand the president wants to protect himself but by doing it, by attacking the very institutions that support our constitution, it erodes the trust if the public believes these institutions are partisan institutions rather than supporting the constitution, supporting the president and the white house. As we have been talking about, obstruction of justice is quite a technical term and the actual act of bringing charges for it is something thats been debated ove
