it s 4:00 in new york on a monday. an empire built on lies. that is how one veteran prosecutor describes the twice impeached disgraced ex-president s family business. the trump organization. it is the linchpin of the image of a successful businessman that donald trump sold to his voters for years. but those are the words of mark pomerantz. you re going the hear a lot about him in the coming days. he is a former prosecutor for the manhattan district attorney s office, a man who spent a year poring over financial statements from the ex-president s businesses and interviewing potential witnesses about them. he came to one inescapable conclusion, that donald trump committed financial crimes. here is what he said to cbs news about his boss, manhattan d.a. alvin bragg s decision to halt the grand jury probe that was looking into trump s finances, a decision that led pomerantz to resign in protest. if you take the exact same conduct and make it not about donald trump and not about
so this afternoon, i am offering this resolution that the committee direct the chairman to issue a subpoena for relevant documents and testimony under oath from donald john trump. if trump lost, he would declare victory anyway. and do literally anything to stay in power. while trump ultimately failed, the threat is ongoing. republicans who stoked the insurrection are running for re-election. while a new crop of far right candidates will gladly overturn the next one if they don t like the results. and we begin tonight with the house january 6th committee closing out what s likely to be its final investigative hearing, public hearing, at least, with a remarkable step. one of three major developments as it seeks to wrap up its work. the first, voting unanimously to subpoena the former president and making it very clear why. he s required to answer to those police officers who put their lives and bodies on the line to defend our democracy. he s required to answer to those m
coy, nice to see you. have a great day. thanks for joining me. i m christine romans. new day starts right now. way in south korea, i m john berman with brianna keilar. it s one of the deadliest disasters to ever hit that country at least 154 people killed in a crush of halloween party goers in seoul. pictures shared on social media show the crowd crammed into an alley. 26 foreign nationals including two u.s. citizens are among the dead. witnesses saying the narrow streets were jammed with people trying to enjoy the first halloween weekend without covid restrictions. ivan watson is live for us on the scene in seoul. do investigators have any idea what triggered this surge? reporter: just sheer mass humanity in the alley ways just steps from where i m standing right now. this is an impromptu memorial that has cropped up in the 24, 48 hours since the disaster. as you can see, people paying their respects, flowers, handwritten notes, candles, photos of some of the victi
And i think bill barr believes i m sure in his heart of hearts that the january 6th select committee helped launder his reputation, that he said bullshit at times in his taped deposition of donald trump that we forget he corrupted at least the reputation of a once highly regarded career prosecutor in mr. durham. i don t know mr. durham. i don t know if what congressman lieu and congressman goldman want looked at is real, i don t know if they ll find evidence of prosecutorial misconduct or illegality. but i know whatever durham did it was so bad that his lifelong prosecutorial partner left. she high-tailed it back to connecticut, said no thank you. and then once he was bringing these two ill-fated cases that resulted in acquittals, another highly regarded prosecutor left. so durham s record is right up there with barr s record when he was putting his fingers on the scales of justice with the trump crony cases. do you think merrick garland
Picked candidate by more than 50 points we didn t see that coming. and we didn t see this coming that brian kemp who was caricatured in 2018, by all democrats, especially stacey abrams, as being a tool of donald trump s. through his own actions and no political gain anyone saw in the moment of 2020, that has inoculated him against that charge he s a trump crony. obviously he s not. we ve seen cross over appeal from some democrats who said that brian kemp did the only thing i wanted him to do in 2020 and that was stand up for the state of georgia. so we know that helped him a lot. will it help on election day? it s helping so far. we ll see what happens, though. it seems in the governor s race it s advantage kemp. in the senate race maybe small advantage raphael warnock. i wonder if you re hearing from voters do you see any situation where people may split
