they tried today at your core.com tonight on three 60 breaking news, no trial date, but already hi between prosecutors and defense attorneys in the classified documents case four fbi director james comey joins us ahead, also breaking news tonight in new york times report on a second controversial flag flown at the home owned by justice samuel alito. >> the reporter on both stories is here and nikki haley, she called trump unhinged, but now it says she will vote for him well, the republicans who voted for her do the same. good evening. thanks for joining us. a shouting match or up to today in a federal court in florida during the first of a series of pretrial motions in the long-delayed case against the former president for mishandling classified documents. there were two pretrial hearings today, bids by the former president and a codefendant to throw the case out. the classified documents case no longer has a trial date as you probably know, the judge in the case, aileen cannon has allowed a number of pretrial motions to stack up and delayed proceedings, just last night we reported on these photos, which we've not seen before. there

are the co-defendant, walt nauta, trump's former valley from the white house, who still works closely with him. the photos show nauta moving boxes around mar-a-lago on june 1, 2022, just before for a trump attorney was supposed to search for those boxes at mar-a-lago for classified documents, something he had to do under subpoena prosecutors say that not move the boxes is part of an alleged conspiracy to conceal classified material from federal investigators now the photos were part of a federal judge's opinion saying that investigators had strong evidence that the former president intended to hide classified documents. she also noted that an empty folder marked classified evening summary was discovered in this bedroom months after the fbi's search that same filing from last night also included the standard operating procedure for when the fbi conducts a search. agents is they are always are in such a search. were armed, which has led trump in some of his supporters that suggests that the agency was out to kill him trump actually

posted on his social media site wow, i just came out of the biden, which on trial manhattan, the icebox and was shown reports that cricket joe biden's doj and they're illegal and unconstitutional rate of mar-a-lago authorized the fbi to use deadly lethal force. congresswoman marjorie taylor greene's said the fbi were planning to assassinate president trump. they weren't. again, the agency was following protocol and secret service was made aware of the surgery and advance and trump was not there there are still no trial date in the classified documents case. and based on today's hearing, no indication of when a date will be set. evan perez joins us from florida outside the courthouse. what was the shouting match about? >> what addison this was a hearing in part to hear these arguments by walt nauta and his attorney to stand woodward. they were arguing that walt nauta is the subject of selective and indicative of prosecution. and one of the

things that stand woodward, his attorney was arguing today was that he recounted an episode where he said prosecutors reset war, essentially trying to pressure him to try to get walt nauta to cooperate with this investigation. he said there was this meeting where prosecutors mentioned the fact that he had applied for a judgeship, and the chances of getting that judgeship now that prompted a very sharp reply from prosecutors david harb stood up and said that his interpretation of those events were fantasy. the judge, at one point had to tell everybody to calm down because things had gotten so heated during this hearing. these were two hearings anderson that took took over five hours for the judge to hear again. she didn't rule from the bench as she usually doesn't but she did seem skeptical of these efforts by the defendants to try to dismiss these charges. anderson. so what is the latest on when the trial might actually happen? we still

don't know. i mean, every time we come down here, we show up thinking that perhaps this is the de, we're going to hear of a neutral trial date that did not happen today. and look, today's hearing was an example and sort of exemplified why this case is moving so slowly. so plotting only the judge allowed and in sort of indulge the defense to go down a number of rabbit holes. there was one point where the defendants were arguing that there there's a discussion to delete video, if you recall, as part of this case is it's part of the obstruction charges. they said that just having a discussion about deleting survey helens video, including that surveillance video that you showed there. the clips of walt nauta moving boxes that that does not indicate a crime. again, the judge indulging a lot of these things over the course of five hours. again, she did not rule from the bench on any of the motions and a reminder that we have probably

at least another eight motions that the judge is planning to go through with hearings like this one evan perez. thanks very much. want to get some perspective now from former federal prosecutor elie honig, former us district court judge shira scheindlin, former trump white house communications director anthony scaramucci he's also the author from wall street to the white house and back the scaramucci guide to unbreakable resilience, also with his karen friedman agnifilo or former and hadn't chief assistant da, who is now a criminal defense attorney, anthony, i mean, even for president trump, the idea that he's claiming the fbi was out to assassinate him or shoot him is bananas. >> well, it's been anna's everything was handled appropriately in standard operating procedure, but there's a little projection in that you see if he says that about the other side, he thinks it takes a little bit of heat off of him and the unified reich rap and all the other things that he's doing on his side to try to galvanize as base. so that's a typical classic trump projection

manipulation move. i can tell you everything is in the playbook. if you have time karen, what do you think there's the judge? >> what are the chances this is going to happen the trial, you mean it doesn't seem like she is poised to have a trial anytime soon. >> there's critical hearings that need to happen. today's hearings were just two of many that have to happen and the fact that she won't even set a trial date. i don't think she has any plans or any intentions of seeing this case go to trial anytime soon. >> judge, on the search warrants that you've signed off on, plenty of search warrants i have. >> and it's not that hard. you look for probable cause that a crime has been committed. you look for probable cause that material or evidence of that crime will be found in that location, is presented to you by an agent. if you find it, you signed it. and if you're wrong, there's still a good faith exception. it's called so there's no way that this this search warrants gotta get suppressed but that's that's the way trump's handling it. they make motions of every kind repeatedly, don't really expect to win them, but they want to

tie her up. that's how i look at it. they make 30 motions, then that means 30 more reasons to delay. and of course, she should be ruling from the bench on some of these. they're just frivolous and there's no reason to hold back on them. just say denied. what does that mean? ruling from the bint, she should be able to just make the ruling yep salute. >> they present the arguments. it's probably letters or briefs just decide there's no reason to hold off and reserve on every single motion. i say it again, denied denied exactly. right. i mean, she should know some of these at their frivolous just frivolous. >> what, why why would she not be ruling from the bench? i mean, is it just my answer she's insecure. absolutely. she's in secure a secure judge who knows what they're doing, like judge kaplan, like judge marsha, and there are two judges who were able to control trump. they know what they're doing, they're very experienced, and they're confident. so they rule. we call it rule enroll. >> we did. she doesn't rule and roles. she rules on reserves or to reserve person doesn't rule.

>> and that's not the way to move a case along. let me just vouch, having been ruled enrolled via your honor, judge, finland does know how to move a case quickly. i think it's important that we call out again this lai that is spreading now alarmingly quickly that there was some effort to hesitate, give insight, but to assassinate donald trump. it's so ridiculous, but i think the most important way to understand it is if we see where the light comes from. so in the search warrant documents in a federal search warrant, and i think we have this that we can put up on the screen. there is a standard piece of paper that basically says here at law enforcement officers of the department of justice may use deadly force only when necessary. that is when the officer has a reasonable belief that the subject of such force is threatening imminent bodily harm or imminent death to another person. in other words, it is limiting. it says, do not use your gun cops, fbi agents, unless it is absolutely necessary to save a life. and then that document goes on to say, and here were all the circ*mstances this is you cannot use your weapon if someone's fleeing, if someone's in a car. so this is

a standard form. it correctly states the law. and if anything, it is narrowing to a very tiny sliver where you can use your and it doesn't happen search warrants go down all the time without bio and its boiler plate language. >> and they made sure trump wouldn't be at mar-a-lago at the time they execute the search warrant, and they went in wearing shirts instead of uniform forums to try to keep it because the calm. i mean, they did the coordinated with secret service and advance a word talking about it, she and the fact that we're talking about at trump is winning because he has a trigger braunton and he says, what can i do today on truth social, that's going to trigger people to talk about this and it galvanized this is bayes. it may upset the people that want to vote for job biden, but it absolutely galvanize. this is based if l is basis, if people for these are, what, about a year and this is fixed. what about those voters who are not yet decided? >> i don't think this plays well to the independence that biden is trying to assassinate trump. that's ridiculous. it's

over the top. nobody is going to believe that whose undecided. >> but it is one of those drums and you know, again, i just forget. but he needs money right now, your honor. and so what's happening to him? he's flying around the country is landing in places like texas. and he's projecting, he said think all the things that he's going to do if he were to win, he's not going to win by the way, but he will do. and the galvanizes is based and they opened up their checkbook. they start writing checks because he's way money what do we knows he can't win we definitely not going to win in or so. maybe you gotta, we gotta snap out of the fever that he may when he's not gonna win there's he doesn't firmly 11 of money number two is not going to have the operations that are properly in the swing states number three, i want you to identify the people that are going to now vote for trump. maybe there's a few on the margin but there is just not enough to bring him to the electoral college. victory. >> and the last thing i know the guy he's kinda implode himself as we get closer and closer. >> and we also know that president biden is way more

together than the right-wing media suggesting or even the trump campaign is reinforcing what donald trump and i think he gets his clock cleaned in these two debates by president biden. so now he's not going to win, but he needs money. and that's why he's pressing the trigger buttons right now that the president was trying to assassinate me, even though i wasn't in mar-a-lago, there was a threat to my life and karen, just in terms of the the documents case i mean, how have you seen judges like this before? is it because the judge judge gentleman was saying it's it's inexperience essentially. i mean, there is also the other option which is that its intention she she has made a lot of rulings that have caused a lot of people question her fitness to sit in this particular case. >> i mean, she is really even from the beginning at the time of the search warrant that was that was signed, she appointed a special master, which is totally inappropriate to do. she got reversed by the 11th

circuit so it's hard to know. i've not seen a judge, frankly, this ill-equipped to handle a case such as this it's really highly unusual. >> you should comes off as a rookie in security, as well as insignia experience you have to be secure to rural promptly and to rule from the bench, you have to believe in your ruling. she doesn't show had a confidence to do it. she's really the wrong judge for this case. >> you as a viewer calling me insecure, i'd be going in for life coaching. i mean, the way you say it that's very powerful, your honor. >> judge, didn't know. thank you very much, everybody. thank you. appreciate it. more. breaking it was the new york times is reporting on a second controversial flag that's become a symbol of the stop the steal movement that flew above the home of justice samuel alito, plus the three 60 exclusive or harb iwan accusers speaking out for the very first time about what she says happened to her and why she says her story was silenced the ups store is not just the ship and store where the shipping store the leave the packing

last week about an upside-down american flag flown at the alito home in virginia in 2021 justice alito said it was raised by his wife during a clash with the neighbor who had cursed stood her. both stories come as alito and the supreme court are due to rule on cases related to the january 6 riot, including the question of presidential immunity. joy and joined by jodi kantor, who reported on both storage with the times and by norm eisen, former council house democrats during trump's first impeachment, joedae, can you just walk us through your reporting? about this flag at the beach house, this appeal to heaven flight sure. >> so actually it's similar to the virginia story in terms of i think it's helpful to start with the neighbors. >> this is a popular beach destination. >> there are a lot of voters. the alito house does it have pretty prominent place. and last summer, neighbors and voters are just going by and they're saying heck, is this flag, and they're googling it. >> and it turns out at

something called the appeal to happen flag, which as you say, date stamp back to the revolution revolutionary war. >> but in the last decade has taken on a really freighted meaning and became very associated with the stop the steal campaign at popped up a lot in the crowd at the riot. >> now anderson, as you know, it's just a baseline bedrock rule that judges are not supposed to have political displays so the question becomes, what is justice samuel alito doing disk playing this flag which has so politically sensitive, which appears to connote an opinion, although we don't know that much about the particulars exactly who raised it and why he didn't want to answer questions but he's doing this. >> first of all, last summer as be obstruction case. that is so key to the prosecution of january 6 is arriving at the court. and now we're finding out about it just as these

opinions are going to come out in a few weeks i mean clearly, somebody in the alito household knows enough about flag flying. an american flag upside down. they would know the meaning of this flag and the the sort of the current incarnation of this flag. i mean, norm with necessarily know now facing to flag controversies, how much of an ethics problem is this forum in more broadly for the court? >> anderson, i think the court is in an absolute ethics crisis this latest expression of a parent opinion siding with the far-right activist including those who flew this flag on january 6 comes on top of on top of undisclosed luxury

vacations by justice alito, also just as thomas justice thomas, his wife, a witness in the january 6 cases and now these two flag photographs expressing that opinion under federal law if there's a reasonable basis to question just the question anderson, the impartiality of a justice. the law expressly mentioned justices of the supreme court. they are supposed to step aside and given the situation that we're in, it's not just the coming decisions the january 6 case was set for trial at the beginning of march. we know from the questioning that justice alito and justice thomas our entertaining this absurd idea that seal team six is allowed under presidential immunity to commit political assassinations were already in crisis because of the delay of

that case. and the chief justice and congress must act joedae. >> what i don't understand is the first flag, the upside down flag outside the alito home in he said that was in response to a neighbor using a nasty word to his wife in an argument was that argument about an anti-trump sign on the neighbor's lawn i think we just lost her norm. there are a lot of people who viewed the supreme court from a different lens in recent years because of ethics issues like this keep happening has the court faced anything like this before just as aid for us during the 1960s, johnson administration, he was at johnson. >> johnson confident onto was put on the supreme court stepped off the supreme court because he had accepted a

retainer about $20,000 from an individual who had been accused of securities wrongdoing. he afford us was not actually accused of wrongdoing himself, but he had a sense of shame. anderson this is the fordist scandal on steroids and the combination of undisclosed substantial luxury vacations from those with interests, ideological, or business before the court. and the spouses. alito is pointed, does spouse on that upside down flag ginni thomas, we know was a witness and now a second expression of a political opinion constituting apparent bias. >> we don't have to find bias. >> the chief judge has the power to investigate. congress, has the power to investigate. it is an ethnic crisis joedae, can you hear me i just want to

ask you i'm sorry. >> we lost you ever sorted for the problem the the upside down flag alito home that will basically you're reporting that was in response to a neighbor who had put an anti-trump sign on their lawn. is that correct? and words were exchanged between that neighbor and alito's wife that's what justice alito test. >> but part of what's so interesting about new flag story is that we have pictures of the slag up in july, in august and september timber of last year was up the whole time, but it appears to be a sustained period so even after taking down this upside down flag, this other flag, then there was there already or then popped up. >> jodi kantor. appreciate the reporting. norm eisen still ahead after suspending her presidential campaign in margin, nikki haley's announced she'll vote for former president trump in november 1 of my upcoming guests as he's not surprised, i'll ask him why next?

>> if you are shopping for a whole realtor realtor.com, real commute tool lets you find homes close to work school. >> even grandma's house don't want all apps do that. >> not really trust the number one app, real estate professionals trust water would help with this dry spots. that's wrong disease but scott's healthy plus will curates lung disease going around. >> so like other people have it and it's not recover bag of the newscaster field to help plus lawn through today luma phi. it's kind of amazing. >> wow, luma phi drops dramatically, reduce redness in one minute look at the difference my eyes, the brighter and wider for up to eight hours, lumo, if i really works, see for yourself trains trains that use the our of del ai and intel clearing the way

home serve.com. >> the nba playoffs. i always get emotional. you more concerned about what's going on inside the nba and what's going on inside a you, you know, doc, right? and that's all the time we have thanks for watching. are you cutting to a commercial western conference finals presented by at&t begin tonight on tnt into first public speech since leaving the republican presidential primary race more than two months ago today, former south carolina governor nikki haley finally announced who she will be supporting in the the election trump has not been perfect on these policies. >> i've made that clear many, many times but biden has been a catastrophe so i will be voting for trump. i stand by what i said in my suspension speech trump would be smart to reach out to the millions of people who voted for me and continued to support me since leaving the race, haley, who served as

trump's us ambassador to the un, has avoided endorsing him are directly telling her voters to oppose him she didn't hold back and went after him drink the primary campaign he is on hand. t is more diminished and then he was the reason that america keeps losing is because of donald trump and the mode let's farm, he's ever possibly had is getting hit by golf ball when he's sitting in a golf cart, chaos follows him. and we can't have a country in disarray in a world on fire and go through four more years of chaos we won't survive it america needs a captain who will steady the ship, not capsize it. that's the chaos that comes with donald trump. that's the offensiveness that's going to happen every day between now and the general elections. which is why i continue to say donald chalk can not win a general election. he won't with me now, cnn senior data reporter harry engine and cnn senior political commentator, former republican congressman adam kensington. >> i mean, congressman kinsey i saw you tweeted after haley now

she's going to vote for trump. he said, not surprising, but pathetic i certainly get the pathetic part. why not surprising to you well, let me first off say she said in the thing you played that we won't survive for more hears of trump's. >> she said, we will not survive for more for years of trump and just endorsed it. well, technically should endorse him. i'll give her credit for that. >> she just said she was going to vote for him. it's not surprising anderson because we've seen this playbook over and over again with very few exceptions that been somebody like chris christie where people will go after donald trump, look at bill barr all of these terrible things that trump is going to do to the country. but when it comes down to it party over country. and so that's why i'm not surprised about nikki haley. it's disappointing. >> she said in another one of those soundbites that trump needs to reach out to her voters. >> i'll also say it biden needs to reach out to her voters. i don't know what the biden administration or the biden campaign has been doing, but they're not reaching out to

those voters. >> congressman, i mean, it clearly seems she wants a future, some sort of political future, or some sort of future on the lecture circuit in front of republican audiences and knows if she's going to do that, she has to at this stage, continue to bend the knee to trump i mean, it you see it's not purely a political calculus it is, it is. >> and that's 100% true if she wants a future in the gop on this trajectory, i happen to believe the gop will be fix someday, but she will have to the superpower of donald trump and frankly the maga coal is they walk them anybody back, just like any good church that says if you repent, you can come back. she will be walking back even if there are some tweets against her for now. and that's the superpower of donald trump and she knows that if she wants a position in the administration, maybe if she wants to continue to be seen as

a republican and good standing but as she said, in the very clip, you played four more years of donald trump will destroy this country. so she is putting her career and her interests over the country. i know it sounds dramatic i'm just so passionate about the fact that donald trump would be nothing but terrible for the united states of america harry, she's haley's continued to do relatively well in races. even though she's not in the race anymore. however, number has been yeah. >> i think it depends on the context. right. if you go to kentucky last night, she didn't do so wow, she got in the single digits. you go to a place like maryland. she's getting 2020, 5% of the vote. but i like to look across the republican contest and at this point, and the average republican contest since she's gotten out of the race, she's got about 14% of the vote. that's not bad, right? 14% of folks voting for someone who's not even in the race anymore is something that obviously both campaigns, both the biden and trump campaign should be interested in going after, but here's the thing i've heard over and over again. people

sort of saying, oh, nikki, haley is getting these large shares of the votes even though she's not in the race, i should point out that four years ago, bernie sanders was getting about the exact same vote in the democratic primaries after he dropped out of the race. so this isn't something to me that's terrible. really unusual. the thing that would have been unusual was if nikki haley decided not to throw their support behind donald trump, then it would've been very interesting to see what happened to that 14% of voters. but at this particular point, this isn't something that's a historical anomaly. it's something well in line with history encouragement. >> do you think hayley gives now permission to republicans who may have been on the fence about voting for trump. >> i mean, the people who were voting for her and maryland yeah she does. >> yeah. i mean, there's gonna be a lot that still either the third party don't vote or vote for biden, but she does because if you think of it, if you're a republican and you hold strong to your values, like i do. but you're sitting around saying cash. i just can't bring myself to vote for biden, but maybe i will because trump so bad. i really respect nikki haley when. she comes out and says, i'm gonna vote for

donald trump, despite everything she has said on the campaign trail, it does give you permission to say, oh, good, i got to tell you anderson, that's an ease that would be a relief like if all the sudden a i could say, for instance, i'm in i'm on the trump train now. i'm a good republican again, it would be a personal leaf because it takes that pressure off. so i think she gives a lot of people license to go for donald trump. this is again, the biden campaign has got to be doing a lot more to go after these kinds of folks. there are so many republicans that are ready to endorse biden it, haven't heard a thing from the campaign and it's not, it's political malpractice, honestly adam kinsey. thank you. harry enten as well. coming up next one-on-one with former fbi director james comey on the breaking news about the company and first we'll flags or floated supreme court justice alito's homes in new jersey and virginia also was taken the form president falsely claiming present biden tried to have him assassinated during the mar-a-lago search and details and mr. combs is new novel coming up kinda riva support

fbi director james comey, who's the author for new fictional crime novel called westport i want to start with justice alito. there's reporting that he flew or his family flu two different flags that are associated with january 6 over his homes at different times is that at all acceptable know it's deeply concerning. >> i don't understand enough about this second flag. i'm no expert in extremist flag waving. but they're both very concerning for someone in his position because public trust and confidence is everything in the institutions of justice, as you know, merger, taylor greene, and others are now accusing federal agents of seeking to assassinate former president trump. journey search at mar-a-lago. they cite this document that was unsealed. buy judge cannon the classified documents case. it's entitled policy statement, use of deadly force. we're putting it up there. >> do you know what this can you talk about? >> what this document is i'm

smiling because it's so crazy if you put this in a novel, it would get rejected by your editor. they would not write this in one of you would say i would not this is the standard fbi protocol that applies to every search and is simply reminds the participants in the search of what the rules are around the use of deadly force. it's not specific to mar-a-lago is not specific to any would be in any search any search, and every search with the criminal trial in new york where do you think this is headed? >> i think it's highly likely to result in a conviction. you do. oh, yeah. >> some a small possibility i think of a hung jury. i think there's almost no possibility of a acquittal. again, you can't i've tried a lot of cases. you can't know a case fully unless you've tried it or been in the courtroom for every second, hung juries are rare. they're rare, but only requires one juror to say, i'm not quite there and to hold out. so that's why i say a small possibility, but not a real possibility given my experience over when i was 80% chance of conviction, given the case, they've put together,

you think they did their job even with all the weaknesses and some there witnesses? >> yeah. i think they built a case that was not subject to cross-examination, really, it's based on documents and texts and emails in the words of the defendant. and then they presented their most controversial width that's the cooperating bag man. but the case, i bet they even talked about whether to call him given the strength of their case before they put him on. i could see why they decided they had to put them on and look to me like it the evidence crossed over, which is a term used by one a meeting they might not have even needed to call michael cohen. and i think they probably discussed it, whether that they'd gotten the case in so smoothly and so many bricks to build conviction building that they might have hesitated to call them do you think if the former president is found guilty, i mean, do you worry about what the response to that might be? >> no. now i think it's i continue to worry about threats against individual poll workers

and counsel people and that sort of thing. >> i'm not worried about an uprising of violence on donald trump's behalf. i don't i don't think you've seen the crowds anywhere. he's gone. i think a mess message was sent after january 6, that your life will be ruined. if you engage in that kind of behavior and his crowd are not jihadis looking to die for the orange god they are people who are attached to him as a cult leader in a way and entertainment figure. but they're not going to lay themselves down for him. nikki haley now says she will vote for donald trump what do you think the what if there is a, another trump term? >> what does that mean for the department of justice, for the rule of law? on this country, dire threat to the department of justice's autonomy and independence and to the rule of law generally. >> and that's why i keep saying to people, i don't know what your concerns are from left are right about joe biden, but a vote for anybody but him is a vote for a threat to the rule of law. that's how serious it is or isn't, is the institution not strong enough are the pillars of the foundation of justice in this

country. i mean, are they strong enough to withstand a trump term? >> i guess it depends on what you mean by withstand yeah, the institution would exist four years if he if he left after four years, would still be there, but it would be severely damaged and maybe a cultural change that we'll have been worked that will be very difficult to undo. >> that would be by what? by filling it with people who are doing his bidding, woo hoo or not? following the rule of law above, loyalty to the president yeah, people he'll have to scrape the bottom of the barrel to staff the political positions, but there's plenty of scrapie is at the bottom of our national barrel. >> and so who put people in position who are willing to use the power, the investigative and prosecutor power, to go after the president's enemies do after people they don't like. and that's a very dangerous place to be. >> i want to talk about your new novel. you and i spoke, i think there's about a year ago, you were already writing or had written this book. it's called west board, what i liked about it is that it's i mean,

it's a blend of both finance financial crimes, but also are a murder mystery. >> yeah. you're right. i had written it the way fiction works. i didn't know this before i started doing this is you right? well ahead. i'm writing the third book. >> it's the same protagonist. yes. >> in the book, you don't need to have read the first it's book in order to enjoy this one, that's right. >> nora carlton, it was a federal prosecutor in the first book and now she's working enough financial industry. and it's a murder who done it that i think that puts nor at the center in the crosshairs that i think it'd be a pretty good summer read for people you're the protagonist, the main character nor carlton how did you create her what what what was the inspiration? >> inspiration is my oldest daughter who's a tall federal prosecutor currently federal prosecutor in manhattan. and i put in other elements of my four daughters so i can if they don't like it, i can say that's your sister, but i can close my eyes and picture my oldest girl when i write nora, and that makes it easy in a labor of love and is there

already a third in the works? yeah, the third is out for loving but brutal feedback from my family right now. so it'll be out this time next year jim's coming. thank you so much. great to be with you as always kind of next to three, 60 exclusively, you'll hear from a woman who says movie mogul harvey weinstein assaulted her nearly a decade ago part of. >> an investigation into that alleged assault shoe, or a wire and got one seen on tape, giving an apparent admission to groping her. but prosecutors never brought charges. now, she's sharing details about the parallels she sees to the trump hush money trial saying she was also targeted by a catch and kill operations in the national enquirer it's the summer of 1999 at bombs. and this memorial day weekend, we're celebrating and all of my 176 doors, you will not believe what 9909 gets you at bob's. so come party like it's 9909. this memorial day weekend. oh, my priceline. most families have 60% on family-friendly hotels. so many

president's hush money trial. now she's talking exclusively with cnn's elizabeth wagmeister almost like a gut punch. why is that happening? >> ombre botswana gutierrez, stunned after when new york appeals court overturned the sex crimes conviction against disgrace movie mogul harvey weinstein, the italian model, giving cnn a wide-ranging interview and new details on previous efforts to keep her silent after she worked with the nypd on a sting operation in 2015, wore a wire and caught this on tape touchline come on. i'm used to i know you're coming but i'm not despite an apparent admission of groping her new york prosecutors never move forward. >> with the case a decision that raise questions which we'll get to adding to her

suspicions, someone was leaking her allegations to the press, leading to tabloid headlines like ghraieb gal asked for movie part and secret life of harvey shy accuser. i was 22 years old and i was put under accusation of not being for fall and to be a prostitute or not perfect victim because i am a model botswana tr is believed then and now the weinstein machine was behind it. all because it wasn't just him. >> i know there is more people behind him that have additions of power that he was using as well. >> but who bought to lana gutierrez believes part of the answer can be found here at former president donald trump's hush money trial that's where former national enquirer boss, david pecker testified to paying off sources to protect trump's reputation by preventing negative stories from ever going public. while

weinstein's named didn't come up on the stand. >> this tabloid news organization became a protection racket for the rich and powerful laughlin cartwright, a former editor for the enquirer, who now writes for the hollywood reporter, claims the enquirer protected weinstein two cartwright claims. he was instructed by an editor who worked under pecker to buy bought to lana gutierrez, a store great. later learning. it was to keep it from being told in to protect weinstein, who had a business relationship with the enquirer's parent company, initially amara about alon, i was offered $20,000 follows by the national enquirer. >> they were trying to say, like, how much you want and i kept just answering nothing i wanted to tell my story, but i wanted to trust someone. cartwright says he was told to raise the stakes to 100 $150,000 for a story that the tabloid could have had for free, bought to lana gutierrez's, go between texted

back. >> she says no, don't ask. again. cartwright alleges he later learned that a top lawyer for the enquirer spoke to the manhattan da's office in an attempt to disparage bought to lana gutierrez's credibility and telling them that adverb atalanta was trying to sell her story was the complete opposite of what was actually going on. because we were inducing adverb atalanta. she wasn't trying to sell her story i felt sick to my stomach. the decision not to prosecute came from previous da cy vance, no longer in office. >> he told cnn i have no info formation that i recall presently that the national enquirer or anyone representing it spoke with our office about selling a story to the enquirer. weinstein told cnn through a spokesperson, the da's office, new all all the facts and passed on this case, had they felt they could pursue it, they would have neither pecker nor the enquirer's new parent company responded to requests for comment botswana

gutierrez says she also turned down hush money from weinstein's lawyers. >> they went up to 300 700 mammalian. and i still turn down every time and then gutierrez, as her brother back in italy, was approached by someone asking about her. >> i got so scared. >> i remember that i the cold my lawyer right away and i just said whatever they said, just do it. >> just do it. >> she finally gave in and signed a non-disclosure agreement receiving money and agreeing not to talk. weinstein told cnn of the nda, ms gutierrez, his lawyers control those meetings and set the terms for it, adding his legal team later, raise reasonable doubts about various aspects of her story during cross-examination and his los angeles sex crimes trial, he never faced charges and botswana gutierrez case, but she did tell her story to a jury in 2022 as a supporting

witness in los angeles, where weinstein was convicted on three of seven charges. in sentenced to 16 years in prison. and at the end of the trial, i spoke to one of the jurors and i remember he said to me, if ombre was tied to charges i would have felt that harvey weinstein was guilty 100%. i see you getting emotional and if you want to take a moment, i know knowing that if maybe i could have just find the right person to release those recordings i wouldn't lose everything. >> i lost and many people would have not been in the position that they are in right now because could have just finished it everything in 2015 elizabeth wagmeister joins us now. >> so the current manhattan da has vowed to re-try weinstein will embrace gutierrez, be involved in that trial. well it's a great question,

anderson and no, she won't. >> ombre told me that she is thrilled that they will retry this case, but ombre testified in los angeles as a supporting witness, and these are the exact type of witnesses that are at the crux of why this conviction was overturned. the new york court of appeals says that there was too much evidence to many women who testified because their testimony did not directly tie into these charges. so ombre is actually part of a network of accusers and survivors of sexual assault who are working towards changing these laws because they feel it is important for a jury to hear a pattern of alleged behavior. now, by the way, anderson, i do want to let you know that ombre is still under that non-disclosure agreement, but she broke that million dollar nda to speak to us in this interview. >> elizabeth, thanks so much. next it's been nearly two years since 19 children and two teachers were murdered in the uvalde school shooting. now the families, the victims have reached a settlement with the city over the shooting response details ahead we're trying to
