>> reporter: for hunter biden this has to be one of the most frustrating parts of this experience, obviously. he was minutes, minutes away from having this entire ordeal put behind him. and instead, he's now facing these charges. all because a judge asked him very frankly, appropriate questions. she simply asked whether hunter biden's lawyers understood what the terms of these deal, of this deal entailed. and everything sort of fell apart after his lawyer said, essentially, we don't have a deal anymore, your honor. so that's how we are here. this is going to be put to bed with a simple misdemeanor deal, right? it was going to plead guilty to a misdemeanor. and if you remember, he was also being investigated for buying a gun during a time he was prohibited, according to the federal government, he's facing, kaitlan, those separate charges still invested of delaware. again, federal charges for owning a gun in that time period. >> two remarkable indictments here. evan, as you read through this lengthy document, i know it just came out, we just got this after you broke the story. is there anything, to be clear, in here, because i know this is the next question that's going to be asked on capitol hill. is there anything in here at the ties back to the behaviour of president biden himself? >> reporter: there is nothing and these 56 pages that relate to the president of the united states. all of this has to do with hunter biden, who was struggling with substance abuse. he has said himself that he was addicted to drugs during this period. he was not paying attention to his personal affairs. obviously had a very messy personal life, as detailed and these documents. and none of this, though, goes to any allegations -- allegations that republicans have been making, that there was some kind of deal between hunter biden paying money that he was getting from his business deals overseas to the president, or that then vice president, now the president of united states the, his father. there is nothing in here on that. of course, kaitlan, you and i know this is not going to satisfy republicans who have the lot of questions. and of course, as you know, they have subpoenaed hunter biden to appear next week, here in washington. hunter biden has said he will appear, but only if he gets to testify publicly. they are asking for a behind the scenes deposition. so there is a bit of a standoff over how that might go forward in the next few days, kaitlan. >> we'll continue to track that. evan perez, great reporting, thank you for that. now, for more on breakig this down, senior legal analyst elie honig is here. elie, this is just remarkable to think that the president's son could be on trial next year for two separate matters, as his dad's run for reelection. >> and the stakes are much higher now than that were before on the tax counts out of california. the original near deal they had, that fell apart, only would have charged hunter biden with failure to pay his taxes, which is a misdemeanor. now we are into felonies. because of evasion and fraud. and the differences, if you owe taxes but you intentionally don't, just a misdemeanor, not going to chill in all likelihood. if you are convicted of a felony, because as this indictment alleges, there was specific fraud -- hunter biden took steps to fool tax collectors. now you're into felony territory. it's much more serious. if it gets convicted here, the guidelines would recommend a prison sentence of some nature. >> you are looking through this, they break down on the one page summary of the expenses, they look at his bank account. one of them if it was referencing, it's his payments to various women. it says from 2016 two 2019, it says $683,000 on adult entertainment over that time period. $188,000. why is that something they're looking at when it comes to how he paid his taxes? >> definitely going to gather some attention, because of his legislature. here is why it's legally relevant. the allegation is, he made these payments that had nothing to do with his business and try to clean as business expenses. which is a fairly common way that people commit tax fraud. so the allegation here is he did that to determine one point $4 million or so, and as a result, he's looking at vastly more serious charges now in california than he almost was a couple of months ago. >> remarkable. elie, stick around. we have a lot of legal developments here cannot. speaking of pilgrims, it was appearance number nine for trump in his civil fraud trial, here in new york today. all of this is what's leading up to what we believe will be his tenth appearance on monday. that is what the former president is expected to take that with the stand, once again. his lawyer says she's advising him not to testify given that gag order that has since been reinstated. >> he still want to take the stand, even though my advice is at this point you should never take the stand with my gag order. but he's so firmly against what's happening in this court. >> but donald trump is donald trump, which means he often just pages of the legal advice he's given. his own former lawyers will tell you that. this comes especially now as he's on what he sees as a mission to save his company and really has been her brand. we are told he will take the stand, again, in his own defense on monday, as the civil trial is getting close to its. and trump watch today as his legal team questioned its for someone who watched all of that app and -- happen, cnn's kara scannell is at the courtroom. kara, i want to see what trump was obviously not on the stand, not talking to it, but he did a lot of poking outside of court. for everyone who wasn't watching the courthouse closely, this is what he said. >> this whole case is a fraud. its election interference. it's keeping me here, instead of iowa and new hampshire. i should be right now and iowa and new hampshire, south carolina. it shouldn't be sitting in a courthouse. and i don not have to sit here. i could just do what, whatever i want to do. but i want to make sure you get the true story. >> to be clear, he did not have to be there. he was a spectator today. what happened in the courtroom? >> it's interesting. he's attended nine days of this whole front row. but it was the first day he attended any of the defenses case. so his own case he's putting on. and he chose to come when they put on their final expert witness, professor of accounting at new york university. his testimony was probably the most unequivocal of any of the witness, trump has put on, his strongest witness, and a saint. he testified -- he reviewed all these documents, reviewed so many. he said there was no evidence whatsoever of accountants road. he said there were no material or important misstatements on the financial statements. these are the ones the judge has already found to be fraudulent. the judge interrupted the questioning and said to him, you know, is your testimony that the attorney general's case is without merit? and he said, absolutely, that's what my opinion is. so, really favorable testimony to the former president. but as you know, the judge has already found that these financial statements are fraudulent. and what trump is doing in this case, he's been open about it, they're working towards laying the grounds for an appeal. because they expect that judge will against him on the remaining six claims, and they're appealing his original finding. a good day of testimony for trump to sit there and listen to and to come out and be able to talk about, because it was squarely in his favor. this person will be on the witness stand again tomorrow. >> does that judge by that? how does the judge judge say that? >> that testimony -- it's technically improper. that's the ultimate as. that's up to the judge or in some cases, not this, when the jury. what is proper for an expert like this really is, well, i followed established by counting particulars. but what do you do if you are the judge and you have conflicting experts -- some experts from the a. g.'s office said there is mass fraud. some say, there is no fraud, this is whatfact finders do you have to -- based on comments and, based on the underlying support for it. so authentic it's much of a mystery health list is going to come out. because it's corset, he's already found. there it was repetitive, pervasive fraud. so i don't think he's going, maybe he was so persuaded by this witness it will completely change his mind. but sems unlikely. >> that witness has also totally dismissed judge, what the funding was, the size of the trump apartment. we could all see, vastly, inflated. >> when trump testified, he even admitted on the stand, that was a mistake in their financial payments. because for several years, it said it was three times the size, meaning three times that value it actually was. trump admitted that was a mistake. that witness say it was an error, he said it wasn't fraudulent because he did errors like that have been because these are personal financial statements, not audited financial statements. trying to draw a distinction, saying there are different accountant rules that govern those. and they all said the disclamerrs. a lot of arguments a judge has already rejected. >> kara scannell, elie honig, legal drama tonight. thank you both for being here. also tonight, keep watching, because on laura coates live, former attorney general eric culver is joining heard us all these big legal stories. that will be at 11 pm eastern. in the meantime, there was a historic ruling and a fight that has one of the strictest abortion laws inclination, texas. a pregnant women forced to sue for an emergency abortion at 20 weeks. she won the case, but tonight the texas attorney general is offering a new warning to her doctor. plus, israeli soldiers detaining dozens of men who were stripped to their underwear in gaza. more of what we are learning about this dramatic scene, right after this. fresh off a 500,000 dollar fund-raiser, pulling in some powerful endorsements, it's clear who the 2024 republican candidates say is a major threat, at least at this point in the race. other than donald trump of course. former south carolina governor nikki haley found herself at the center of attacks she was fending off or ignorant in vivek ramaswamy's case, last not during the debate. >> i don't have a woman problem, you have a corruption problem. and i think that's what people need to know. nikki is corrupt. >> it's not worth my time to respond to him. >> her donors, these wall street liberal donors, they make money in china. they are not going to let her be tough on china and she will cave to the donors. she will not stand up for you. >> he is mad because those wall street donors used to support him, and now they support me. >> here tonight to park on that far debate, to political veterans. van jones, a former obama administration official and david corbin, republican strategist and former trump competitor. both our cnn political commentators. david, let me start with you. this is very clearly a big moment for nikki haley. we are watching this. i think the question is, even though she's having a good performance at the debates, her numbers are obviously going up. she's still a distant second for donald trump. we are guys that leave her? >> it leaves her a distant second from donald trump, unfortunately, right? i was just reviewing the kind of, the past history. my good friend rick santorum in 12 digits and headed into iowa and surprised everyone with his opposite win over mitt romney. maybe she's hoping for some of that mojo to rub off and move forward, come from behind victory. but short of something miraculous like that, donald trump's going to be the victor here. and the iowa caucus -- is it appears that way at this point. and he's going to head into new hampshire first run and head to south carolina are strong. so i think her performance last night was, you know, exemplary. she should thank vivek ramaswamy and ron desantis. they make her look tough. her standing will continue to increase, and if trump stumbles along the way she'll be ready to go. but short of a big stumble, kaitlan, i'm not sure how she gets in front of him. >> i think we are watching to see what happens in her home state. van, at one point in this debate when we were watching this, you saw chris christie, standing to her left, we saw this divide. ron desantis and vivek ramaswamy on the side, nikki haley and chris christie. he stepped in to defend her at this point. he said this. >> while we disagree about some issues, and we disagree about who should be president of the united states, what we don't disagree on is this as a smart accomplished woman, you should stop insulting her. >> you saw the crowd reacting, because vivek ramaswamy is like kindergarten during covid, no class. no class. >> i was wondering where you were going with that. >> i thought chris christie was at his best because he was standing up to the bully and saying leave her alone. she didn't need to be rescued, she was holding her own. but i do not think people like to see somebody like vivek who's never done anything, never voted for anybody, being personally insulted by someone like her. she took it in a classy way, and i thought chris christie was world-class. >> the question was, was a decency, was it political strategy? but the other thing we saw last night, david, which was the attacks on donald trump. obviously that's chris christie's style. his modus operandi when he got on the debate stage. the question is for the others who are not willing to go after trump as directly. i think the furthest nikki haley and ron desantis got was talking about the deficit. how do you defeat that number one in the race if you don't talk about that number one in the race? >> that was christie's exact point, right? so desantis and nikki haley and ramaswamy, to the extent he's going to be a contender, they can't afford to alienate that base. so they're very concerned about how far they can push, because obviously donald trump's favorables in the state of iowa are very high, and if you speak ill of him you risk getting blowback on yourself. so it's really tough tight rope to walk. chris christie's alleging they're not even bothering to get on the touch for, let alone won't across it. he's the only one swing and swing hard. he's at 3%, so i'm not sure it's an effective strategy for him or anyone else. again, it's a tough thing to see, how somebody gets ahead of donald trump at this point. at least in iowa, in the early states. >>van, do you think before we get to the nomination, and there is regret among those republican candidates who we saw in the 2016 field, they thought trump would take care of himself so they didn't worry about attacking him, and he got that nomination. >> listen, the democratic party -- when they were facing bernie sanders, they cleared the field. once biden won, everybody else got out. republicans don't seem capable of doing that. this is more narrow field that we saw 2016 in. if they have learned something, they haven't learned much. we see this rally around nikki by the donor class, which they're trying to problematize this as the last gasp for the establishment, trying to figure out some way of trying to hold this guy off. and nikki, she's got to appeal to the grassroots but she's also got to appeal to them. her fate is the fate of the establishment. >> and donald trump has been using that against her as well. van jones, david urban, thanks for being here. next up, an investigation -- presidents under oath and on the mics failed to condemn college -- antisemitism on college campuses. the backlashsh mounting g tonig. you're probably not easily persuaded to switch mobile providers for your business. but what if we told you it's possible that comcast business mobile can save you up to 75% a year on your wireless bill versus the big three carriers?
