President trump s legal troubles in new york are not over. in an exclusive interview with nbc news, letittia james, the incoming state attorney general explains her plans to launch more investigations into president trump, his family and anyone in his inner circle. among the schemes she intends to pursue are trump s real estate holdings in new york. that infamous june 2016 trump tower meeting with a russian official. any government subsidies trump received, also the subject of that time s investigation and whether his new york businesses violate the emollient clause. back with my, mimi, what do you make of this? what s this is this what s the implication and import of the ....
Well about the international work the trump organization does, there was extensive explanations of fraudulent activity that ivanka and don jr. engaged in, related to a hotel development here in new york city called the trump soho. they ended up settling that. it was investigated. they settled it civilly the investors were essentially made whole. but this is ripe for official investigation now that what the da didn t know is this may be a pattern and practice by this organization, by this company in many places. that would influence whether or not you bring criminal charges or settle it civilly. mimi is right. i don t know whether these investigations will be criminal or civil. it s a little more difficult for the ag s office, they could team up and do a joint investigation as well. so mimi, to the extent that we think of lawyers as prosecutors, there is a lot of ....
Pardonable. that s correct. a pardon from the president is to federal crimes. as mimi points out, this happens a lot of times, a lot is predicated on the extensive report of the new york times . that s how we would open investigations all the time. we would read about a company doing something wrong, an accounting fraud. so in response to those criticisms it s a witch hunt, et cetera, this is how it is often done. it happens to be they re in the glare. i think the people that need to worry if this is the case. if she goes after this, are trump s children, two are involved in the foundation. who are very involved in trump organizations. that s a good point. the foundation and the trump organization are not major companies. they are tightly held with very few people involved, including the family. in that new york times report and the wwc reporting as ....
she s a fact witness, but she s also her own built-in expert witness. and you can see how she must have compensated for the stress that this incident imposed upon her by becoming the consummate professional. i think it makes her oeven more believable. you see how she dealt with these events. how she became the strong woman who is ultimately able to come forward. lindsey graham s big complaint about her is she can t tell you when and where it happened so you can t believe her. and perhaps he ll find some folks who will agree without those details she s not credible. but her explanation and the explanation that mimi give, which is what every prosecutor knows, about how memory functions, says when she tells you what s indelibly imprinted on her memory is their laughter, and their laughter at her expense, it s really hard to believe there won t be a couple of republican senators in that room who cannot bring themselves to vote for kavanaugh. and mimi, you do law and not politics, but i ....
Believe her. mimi, are there unasked questions of dr. ford in your mind? no. if i were one of the democrats, i would say enough, we ve put her through enough. i know they re not going to do that. i know that there s a bit of a show going on here at this point. i understand it. there is public opinion to be won over here. she s been through enough. she s put forth her story so credibly. she s been asked numerous times, is there anything else you remember? the prosecutor is trying to ask her that in a way to box her in. so in case she remembers something later, it can t possibly be true. i think dr. ford was careful, as she should be, to say basically this is what i remember now. if you ask me other questions, things might come to mind. we were saying, you know, we re counting something tomorrow about what happened here. well, remember the important parts. remember that andrea was wearing a black dress and she was sitting to my left but i won t necessarily remember what time it was w ....
