Closer look at that loan document, stevens fathers signature didnt match. classic sign of a con job said the prosecutor. even the idea that there had been any sort of relationship between morrow and steven williams father was nonsense, right? bogus, couldnt have possibly been? >> couldnt have possibly been and wasnt corroborated by any evidence whatsoever. >> reporter: now he was ready for the new trial. he showed the jury check by check how harvey drained stevens accounts, all 1.7 million in ju...

2006 doug johnson was walking on the beach thinking about his friend of 30 years, the murdered one-time d.j., steven b. williams. >> and i see this light on the beach, and i thought, now what can that be? i dropped my cell phone, and it had landed face up, and the panel was lighting up, and i walked over to it, and i picked it up, and it was ken clark, detective clark calling to telling me they had arrested. >>. >> reporter: real life is not quite like that. for all the suspicion of stevens frie...

Was, i think, a compelling witness. i think brett kavanaugh was also an incredibly compelling witness. but i think it is important to not go on the attack against accusers even if you dont believe them. instead, we should just focus on the facts of the case and i think the reason thats important is we dont ever want to discourage women who are attacked from coming forward for fear that they might face ridicule. >> thank you for your candor. i have to say that some people will come on and you don...

Addressed, and we dont know the answer to how, if they were audited at all, so i think steven is assuming facts not in evidence, and until we see those tax returns, we can assume only that the times -- i think mostly has it right, until proven otherwise. >> no one likes to have a taxman in their life. but one thing that has to be pointed out. when you and i were going at it at the commercial, jennifer came in to speak truth to power. all audits are not equal. well, he was audited, everything mus...

>> it was adjudicated during the election. im going to make a deal with you, this is the heart of the matter, lets find out from the irs how many times donald trump is audited. >> ill give you that, its not the heart of the matter, if hes been audited hundreds of times, how could the new york times come up, youre saying that the new york times is better at auditing these tax returns than the people who -- >> it doesnt mean they have the access. >> it doesnt make any sense. >> people get around t...

Code all the time, legally, kind of legally, and otherwise. >> its not that easy. >> steven is zee fledeflecting rather effectively. >> the president says i did it all myself, my father gave me a million dollars, he was good at business, he wasnt great. i had to pay him back with interest. the rest on me. demonstrably false, yes or no? >> according to the new york times, false. going back to the point that we are addressing with steven moore. it is the valuations that prove the truth of the prop...

That grossly defies estimates of buildings in the same area, it looks suspicious. obviously you need more. we have a president that doesnt want to disclose anything. thats why i wanted to have the discussion. steven, michael, jennifer. you were the best in the whole panel. thank you for all three for making sense of this. were going to look at it a different way. when we come back, who would you say is the democrats best chance to beat president trump if anyone? eric holder is going to be on e...
