Federally. they had the draft indictment. he did say that the cases are hard. i will reiterate. they are hard. they had more than 30 minor child victims. even if a bunch didnt want to testify and i completely understand that, some number would. and oh, by the way, if some number would not and didnt feel like they had the quantum of proof they needed, they could continue the investigation until they did. there was no time stamp on this. there was no urgency to negotiate an agreement. it doesnt ad...

Let me ask you about the impression i had as a nonlawyer looking at the materials thinking the nonlegal case acosta is making to justify his position, his actions in the epstein case dont seem to be helped by the material he distributed. >> here said a couple of things that made sense. thats much shorter and a bunch of things that made no sense at all. the things that made sense is these are hard cases and you want to be sensitive to the victims. thats where the logic ended. right? the states at...

Indictment, but epstein was never indicted. then there is a quote, quote, this agreement, the agreement you describe, will not be made part of any public record. >> it is pretty typical in a prosecution for an indictment, a draft indictment, to be written. that doesnt necessarily mean that that draft indictment is filed because that draft indictment does not consider often the strength of the underlying case. >> the draft indictment, 53-page draft indictment may not have considered the strength ...

Youve called a draft indictment in the book and one of the things thats odd about it, heres the michael flynn indictment. im showing it to you and im going to put it up on the screen. in the book, you describe the indictment as being the countries of america against donald j. trump defendant. that v we see on this indictment is the standard form. i mean i in a lifetime of looking at indictments ive never seen the word against appear in a state or federal indictment. what do you make of just that...

The xfinity store is here. and its simple, easy, awesome. michael wolffs first book about trump "fire and fury" was a sensation. but the sequel is called "siege" has been met with a shrug so far. journalists are being very cautious, very skeptical about the claims that he makes in the book. it comes out on tuesday, but journalists have advanced copies. the biggest news item is an allegations that the mueller team drafted an indictment of trump on obstruction of justice charges. muellers spokes...

Biggest news mueller had drawn up a draft indictment of president trump which seems even more ludicrous. no legal authority to indict a sitting president. last book as you said got raked over the coals he wrote counted counseling sources boldly untrue or do that dick tore. i dont know what business is he. in sometimes he digs up interesting or salacious facts. when i profiled him nearly 20 years ago people were complaining then that michael wolff had misquoted them. >> martha: "new york times" d...

Allege that the investigation was perhaps short circuited by barr or anything of that nature. we dont know why he is doing this. we do know that there is no, at least public new triggering event that caused this to happen today. >> ken, please remind our audience yesterday new news reporting out of "the guardian" citing michael wolffs book around an indictment that was potentially coming. walk us through that one more time because thats not what robert mueller is going to be discussing today. >>...
