In excess of 400 million in cash, which is a lot for a developer. Developers usually dont have cash. They have assets. Not cash. We have, i believe, 400 plus and going up very substantially every month. That was donald trump less than a year ago during a Closed Door Deposition in his new york civil fraud case, but today, he says he does not have that money. That m coing up with the 464 million bond is a quote practical impossibility. That it would require a fire sale of his assets. His legal team is making an appeal to the judge but instead of helping his case, donald trump is now lashing out on social media saying quote, engoron wants me to put up the ridiculous fine, i did nothing wrong, before i get a chance to appeal his crazed ruling. But first, any business dealing about moving into new york is crazy. James is politically corrupt and ran on i will get trump. So, is this panic or politics . Or is it a little bit of both . Joining us now to nail down what exactly we know about trum
committee, and while the subpoena was expected, it is the committee s most aggressive step yet. it could result in an epic legal battle which frankly is also anticipated. the panel is asking for phone calls, texts, videos from the former president relating to the attack on the u.s. capitol and efforts to overturn the 2020 election. it s also demanding trump testify under oath on november 14th. in a letter accompanying the subpoena, the panel said this. as demonstrated in our hearing, we have assembled overwhelming evidence including from dozens of your former appointees and staff that you personally orchestrated and oversaw a multipart effort to overturn the 2020 presidential election and to obstruct the peaceful transition of power. cnn s senior crime and justice reporter joins us now. the january 6th committee making it clear that they see trump as the central figure of this effort. reporter: exactly, victor. the center of everything. that is what this cover letter and
get hurt. we begin tonight with a simple rule of legal professionals. in most cases whenever possible, keep your clients off tv and avoid letting them do interviews, which usually do more harm than good. unfortunately, donald trump s lawyers are needy, attention craving client could only hold out for so long, so last night on one of his favorite shows in an interview with his friend, sean hannity, he seemed to make a losing argument even worse. in his latest throw spaghetti at the wall defense or is it throw ketchup at the wall? trump made this outrageous claim about his magical powers to declassify documents. if you re the president of the united states, you can declassify just by saying it s declassified. even by thinking about it. because you re sending it to mar-a-lago or to wherever you re sending it. and it doesn t have to be a process. there can be a process, but there doesn t have to be. you re the president. you make that decision, so when you send it, it s decla
Other properties to city if he s got more? well, i think that s potentially in play here because even in the mar-a-lago case, if folks remember, beyond what was recovered, there were apparently other blank folders labeled classified, whether they had cover sheets on them, it s not clear to me, but there may have been additional classified information, and again, probably intelligence assessments in those folders, and where are those? and who had access to them? and what do they contain? these are all questions we don t know on the missing, potentially missing material. absolutely, and barbara, given the fact we now have sort of two kind of types of judges. one judge who was very solicitous, we ll say that, solicitous of donald trump s claims that he could go back to if bedminster was searched, but you also have the 11th circuit saying no, no, these belong to the government and they have the interest in them. what do you think would be the hurdles that theoretically if
To strike down laws like in california that are very solicitous to abortion, shouldn t get involved in that but nor should it strike down laws like those in texas and alabama and mississippi the more solicitous of fetal his position is going to be ultimately this does have to be a decision made by the people. justice roberts is on the record many times, he s a minimalist, he wants to find the narrowest possible grounds he seemed to focus on this 15 week timeline and mississippi. watch. i like to focus on the 15 week been because that is not a dramatic departure from viability. it is the standard for the vast majority of other countries have, not a prohibition, it is a 15 week line. he even cited north korea and china. wears here on this? i think he s looking for a way to uphold the mississippi
