For in this case. >> yeah. defense attorneys are trying to find exculpatory evidence that could tend to help their client. so theyre -- although mr. clark is right, youre not allowed to give some information like personal information, theres a fine line that is between the discovery process and a persons privacy rights. a defense attorney under the sixth amendment has a right to a compulsory process. so that basically means the judge needs to assess whether or not the rights of the victim outwei...

He represented himself in his murder trial so he gets access to all the evidence. if the evidence is all these pictures, isnt there something creepy about letting a serial killer go back and look at all of these photographs of his victims again? >> well, i mean, if hes acting as his own defense attorney and there is a discovery process, obviously this is going to come out, the product of search warrants that were served in california and washington state. so obviously all of this is going to com...

Is it just coincidence tthe decision to change counsel at the end of this kind of lay term, discovery process, where cohen now realizes everything that was seized in the raid. his client, the president, has a pretty darn good idea of what was sitting in his lawyers of and now the feds know everything that was seized. >> well, dont forget, the president and all of the trump organization members also know what they did. forget about what the documents were. but if michael cohen were to cooperate, ...

Informant in question as a, quote, spy, its the kind of thing that donald trump is good at. its a lie, but hes good at it. >> jill, i want to go through the procedural element of this because there will come a time, if there were charges, for example, brought against the president or any other criminal defendant, the criminal defendant will be -- once a criminal defendant -- entitled to all of this kind of information, theres a very similar discovery process on the criminal side that exists on t...

Peace treaty with the north koreans, the south koreans, the chinese and us. >> it makes it sound like its easy, like drop a bomb on north korea and -- >> its not easy but thats the end of them. >> are we closer to a war with north korea? >> no, i dont think so. i think for all the talk about un, hes fairly predictable. it takes some dispalestinian to get a nuclear weapon in the first place and develop an intercontinental ballistic missile. this whole process, its just a different process. i thin...

Visitations with our client. 2:two 30-minute visitations. he hasnt been able to answer the questions. >> has he been responsive? are you engaging in conversation with him? >> we have had conversations, but were telling him what he needs to do right now to get through the next few days. were not asking him probing questions at this point. >> at this point we dont have the information with which to even start asking those questions. this happening on a friday and then a weekend where the informati...

He has to do all these steps? >> south koreans are saying that kim jung-un is willing to talk about denuclearization. but we didnt really know what that means. and in the past north korea has talked about denuclearization of the entire korean peninsula. if their security is guaranteed and what they essentially have meant in the sppast is that if e u.s. cuts alliance with south korea and pulls out all the u.s. troops from south korea, then they will begin a process of getting rid of their nuclear...
