rookie, casey, it was a wild weekend for the nfl. thank you very much. i appreciate your time this morning. thank you all for joining us. don t go anywhere. cnn this morning starts right now. good morning, everyone. we re glad you re with us to start your week. here are five things to know for monday, november 6th. donald trump set to take the stand this morning. the former president and currently republican front runner will be questioned in the civil fraud trial that could cost him hundreds of millions of dollars and bar him from doing business in new york. trump s legal troubles are not weighing him down, at least not at the moment. the former president is beating president biden is five critical states, nevada, georgia, arizona, michigan, and pennsylvania, and it s not just the states, the top line, it s the types of voters that president biden is losing. trump making gains with young voters, black voters, and hispanic voters. pushing towards gaza city after cut
arises from a culture that allows it. are we surprised that in 2014 that this happened and now we re in 2022 with all of this racial and gender discrimination? essentially, what the ag s office has the power to do is really investigate this. and we really saw this type of investigation with cuomo, where letitia james came out with recommendations and findings. and that is really important, because that investigation will allow any person to kind of take those findings, and sue civilly or administratively. in this particular case, the eeoc is no doubt going to be involved to ensure that the workplace is safe for these young women, or if any of these women were constructively terminated where they had to leave their employment, because they were subjected to that hostility, they re entitled to back pay, they re entitled to front pay, and any promotional money or bonuses that they would have been entitled to, but for their gender, that they were
division of department of justice. he is now at the law firm of wiggin and dana. you were involved in the russian probe at the doj before it became the mueller investigation, before special counsel was appointed. the president and his supporters have said this never should have even begun. they ve impuned the origins of this investigation. you know about them. were they appropriate? there is nothing that we didn t do to seek out the department of justice. the government is making a very view and we ll see what the ag has to say. so he s taking these overseas trips to ask allies to
sigh commit policy committee. lots of criticism now aimed at the attorney general. why did the doj apparently deep six the complaint, why did they not pass it to congress, as required by law, why did the doj decide not to investigate poll campaign finance violations in the call. do you think the attorney general has done anything wrong. it s hard to know here. i don t think there s any offed to suggest the ag did anything wrong here. the question, whether he has to recuse, that s the question of how involved he was in the underlying matter, whether he was materially participating in it. all we know is the president s had a phone call to date we haven t heard anything that barr did anything, that he called or did any actions at all. it s not clear what the ag would have done in terms of asking the ukrainian president to investigate joe biden or his son. so obviously an odd thing raised by the president, with the president of the ukraine, but
legal debates and there sable discussions about it, not necessarily a coverup where a judgment is made. once the ag made the decision, it was the folks in the office of lee l ga legal counsel, so ie idea that the ag runs the justice department but it may go too far to say there was a coverup and to say there was a coverup of a coverup. we don t have evidence of that. there s an investigation to be done. it s concerning that we rush to judgment ahead of time. if there was a coverup, it should be gone after. eric: how about the non-referral of a possible campaign violation? clearly in the president s words he s asking zalinski to investigate joe biden. his spouter supporters would sas because he was concerned about corruption. critics would say, no, he wanted it to affect the political campaign. obviously, a very concerning situation about what the president was asking the president of ukraine to do, obviously very troubling.
