Turn to our next guest, attorney lisa bloom who has been handling some of the civil lawsuits against jeffrey epstein. lisa, thank you very much for joining us tonight. what happens to your cases now? >> well, we are filing this week on behalf of two jeffrey epstein victims. ive heard from about five more over the weekend. our clients for the last few weeks before his death, we decided it was more important to cooperate with the criminal investigation. and so thats what we were doing. we thought ...

Weeks before his death, we decided it was more important to cooperate with the criminal investigation. and so thats what we were doing. we thought that should have priority. now that hes passed away theres no reason why we shouldnt go forward with the civil case. i want everybody to know that civil cases can go forward even after the defendant dies. you simply proceed against the estate of the person who died. and theres a wonderful coincidence which is that in the state of new york this week a ...

Victims lawyers have already come out and said they will be bringing charges under this new law. >> does the fact that hes already dead impact it at all? >> no. i mean, the way it could impact it is in any civil litigation you then dont have the ability to for example take his deposition so you may lose some information on that front. however, i think there is so much information that is going to be coming out in other forms from discovery in this case that theyll have strong cases. >> what is t...

Investigators in florida. >> well, id expect cooperation. i mean, why not? weve seen been cooperating with them now that mr. epstein is deceased. i dont see any reason why we shouldnt cooperate. i also think its possible, call me maybe overly optimistic, its possible that mr. epsteins estate might decide to do the right thing by the victims and waive legal technicalities like statutes of limitations for victims who are over the age of 18 and actually just dot right thing, set up a fund for victi...

To come and paint these works. i know we have to think about how were going to coordinate the year and choose what were able to take on and realize and finish. that. in addition to the meals they paint to get the 2 artistic projects on their own as well here its all about the relationship between humans and technology the finished canvases look a bit like miniature versions of the murals but you do want to accept any artistic limitations. these works could indeed become a mural. there canvas as ...

This is his death came one day after these new court documents were unsealed. a lot of people named in those court documents, a lot of very high profile people named in those court documents. what happens to them, and also what happens to the victims? >> any of the evidence that came out yesterday during the weekend or that has been unearthed and not publicly revealed can cause real problems for anybody named just as in the documents the other day because investigations can and will continue, an...

Mcconnell and says okay were going to do this >> yes, what is required here is prejudice leadership. republicans hoping to represent suburban districts in states with large suburban areas in the future understand that sensible limited effective gun safety changes are necessary to win those votes, but its going to take discipline and consistency from the president of the united states. hes going to have to outline those changes he will support, perhaps expanded background checks, perhaps limitati...

Civil cases to go forward. i would ask anybody who is a beneficiary in jeffrey epsteins estate to waive any of the legal technicalities like the statutes of limitations or jurisdictional issues. lets just do the right thing now going forward and help these victims. >> how difficult will it be now to even in pursuit of your civil cases, to prove these civil cases since the defendant is dead? there are possibly co-conspirators, just based on all the reporting. there were a lot of people in his net...

It doesnt come any fresher. thank you both so much on a friday night for coming on and telling us what you know and coming up for us, as the debate over gun reform intensifies, a closer look at the rights and limitations of our second amendment and why one former chief justice said if he had to do it over again, hed leave it out of the bill of rights. can my side be firm?

Increase in lawsuits being filed against now his estate, which will replace him as the defendant in this case. i say this because as the reporter from the "miami herald" mentioned earlier, the fear factor is always important in a case like this. a lot of his alleged victims have claimed that they were fearful, that he being such a rich individual had the means to go after them and destroy them if they brought complaints against him. thats gone now. and in new york, for instance, theres recently ...
