Community to figure out what the hell happened . Sunday, april 7 at nine, cnn good, morning you are live in the cnn newsroom. Im jim acosta in washington at this hour. E jean carroll as just 60 minutes to challenge former president Donald Trumps most recent legal move last week, trump hosted a nearly 92 bond to appeal a federal judge. Juries judgment in which they ordered him to pay more more than 83 million to care for repeatedly making defamatory statements about her. But despite the multimillion dollar fines for defamation just moments ago, trump once again made comments about carroll on cnbc calling her names, claiming he never met her and insisting her accusations are false despite a federal jury ruling that hes liable for sexual abuse Marshall Cohen is following this developing story for us. Marshall, What Happens Next . Well, one hour from now, E Jean Carroll has a deadline to tell a judge if she has any issues with this bond arrangement. As you mentioned, donald trump on friday posted that 90 the 1 million bond, the judgment against him was 83 million, but he had to include some interests. So if she has any issues, the judge said that hell hold a hearing later this afternoon if she doesnt have any objections than the digital still need to give his formal stamp of approval so that this bond can be posted in the appeal, can move forward. Remember, jim were here because of something that a jury concluded, donald trump did in the mid 1990s, according to a jury in new york, they found that donald trump was liable for sexually abusing ms carroll in a Department Store dressing room in the mid1990s and that he defamed her when he repeatedly said that she made it all up. But if you are watching the Campaign Trail over the weekend, you would have seen donald trump in georgia repeating some of those same claims. Listen to this i just posted a 91 bond, 91 million on a fake story, totally madeup. Sorry, 91 million based on false accusations made about me by a woman that i knew nothing about, didnt know, never heard of. I know nothing about her. And when i denied it, i said its so crazy right so were waiting for this decision on the appeal that could take awhile, but maybe some additional fodder there for ms carroll on her attorneys . Absolutely not just from the rally, but from cnbc this morning, he keeps talking about her could add to his legal troubles. Marshall cohen. Thank you very much. Joining me now to talk about those defense attorney, former federal prosecutor, shan wu i mean, shan, despite these multimillion dollar fines, the former president just cant stop talking about e. Jean carroll, not only at this rally over the weekend, but just this morning on cnbc. I mean, according to this transcript that we have, we could put it up on screen to our viewers. I mean, this is what donald trump was just saying a few moments ago. On scene cnbc, he said, if i if i didnt win on appeal on these ridiculous decisions, if i didnt win on appeal, is the most ridiculous decisions. And putting this ms Bergdorf Goodman a person i never ever met. I have no idea who she is. I mean, thats except one point. It says he says said one thing continuing her, i got sued and from that point on, i said, wow, thats crazy. What this is. I got charged, i was given a false accusation, had to post a 91 million bond on a false accusation. I mean, shan, he he keeps talking about her despite all these fines its almost like he he really cant help himself. He seems to think if he doesnt actually say her name, maybe thats somehow protects him from the defamation. It done. Its perfectly clear who hes talking about which case he is talking about. And it just does not make any sense. I mean, to call her ms Bergdorf Goodman. Thats allegedly where this took place. Thats exactly where the jury found that took place. Yeah. And it just this idea that theres no amount of money that will make him stop. That sort of the common sense take on it. And i mean, there is grounds for pursuing him again on this basis, but i dont think its a question of money. I mean, theres something off with the way he thinks about this. Once he starts something something that i mentioned this, he just keeps repeating it. You just cant stop. And might this affect his desire to appeal this . I mean, if he if he tries to appeal this, and a judge says, hang on a second. I dont wanna do this all over again. You keep talking about this. Youre obviously doing it. I mean, might that impact his chances for appeal . I dont think it impacts the substance of the appeal because its confined to the record. They had i think has almost no basis to win an appeal. But from an optic standpoint, that cant help but hurt him on the appeal that he keeps repeating this conduct over and over again, and hes been hes been found liable for sexual abuse. I mean, that that has happened. Absolutely. Yeah. I mean, the idea he keeps trying to relitigate this litigated by saying it didnt happen. He just lost on them. I mean, it has happened. Then the jury found that happens not that the judge made it up. The jury found out and another development this week, theres a hearing to throw out the classified docs documents case on thursday. What are the chances there . I think the chances are very low substantively, but the problem is that judge cannon has shown herself open to fully hearing all the issues, and that tends to delay things and whether or not she has that intention her track record is shes allowing this delay to happen. So would this whole multitude of issues, its going to take a while again for her to go through those and there could be appeals. In the meantime. All right. Shan wu. Thank you very much, really appreciate in moments from now, embattled new jersey senator Robert Menendez will head back to Federal Court facing charges of trying to obstruct trucked an investigation in Bribery Allegations in new jersey democrat and his wife will be arraigned on those charges. The senator remains defiant, calling a quote flagrant abuse of power. Cnns Jason Carroll is outside the courthouse for us. Jason. What are we going to see this morning . Are we expecting any please at this hearing . Well, jim, if history serves as as any guide, as you know, this senator and his wife have already pleaded not guilty to previous Bribery Charges in the superseding indictment, they now face 18 additional counts, including conspiracy, acting as a Foreign Agent bribery, extortion and wire fraud. Again, they already had been facing Bribery Charges. These new allegations prosecutors say they tried to cover up their crimes, if you will, after they learned that they were under investigation, basically trying to say that these bribes that they had received this money, that they had received, for example for a mortgage for a new home to buy a brand new state, numerous 80s wasnt a bribe. They say it was alone. Prosecutors say not true. In addition to that, in this superseding indictment, prosecutors also allege that Nadine Menendez and the senator gave false information to their attorneys and their attorneys in turn, gave that misleading information to us attorneys when they held meetings with them last year. Now, that senator and his wife, again, have pleaded not guilty in the past two Bribery Charges. And as you say, the senator has remained defiant throughout all of this. He really please do statement about these new allegations which says in part, it says that the prosecutors are afraid of the facts, scared to subject their charges to the fairminded scrutiny of a jury. It says once and for all that they will stop at nothing in their zeal to get me. And thats what this senator has been saying about these allegations. All along that this is just the governments efforts to try to get at him, as you say, he has remained defiant throughout all of this, the arraignment scheduled to get underway at 11 00 a. M. Jim.

Im Jeremy Diamond didnt tel aviv and this is cnn alabama republican senator katie britt is trying to defend some misleading comments you made in response to President Biden, the state of the Union Address in her speech, brit described the experience of a woman who has sex trafficked, vi cartels and it happened in the us as a result of bidens border policies, brit, however, failed to note the womans story she was citing actually happened in mexico during George W Bushs presidency to be clear, the story that you relate is not something thats happened under the biden administration. That particular person but i very, very clearly set i spoke to a woman who told me about when she was trafficked, when she was 12. So i didnt say a teenager. I didnt say a young woman, a grown woman, a woman when she was trafficked, when she was 12 lets, discuss more now and cnn political commentator and host of pbs firing line, Margaret Hoover and the director of the university of virginias center for politics, larry sabato margaret, let me go to you first. How do you think katie britt is handling all this . I think the major mistake was that she wasnt clear when shes set it up front because jim, we all understand that the cartels are the major terrible, miserable force behind the crisis at the border. And i was delighted that a republican woman of all people said Sex Trafficking and told this horrific story. But the fact that she wasnt clear about the details from the beginning and led led to this which led to this implication and confusion that this was that the experience of that individual was joe bidens fault . Has completely undermined. A really important conversation and reality that we all ought to be grappling with as we think about the role of the cartels are playing and Sexual Violence is being perpetrated on innocent victims all over on both sides of the border. As we mess it, as we try to grapple with this problem. Yeah. And then the woman at the center of it talk to cnn and said it just wasnt right for katie britt to use that story. And larry, i mean, on top of Everything Else i mean, shes had to deal with katie britt has had to deal with Saturday Night Live. It came up at the oscars last night. Everybody was sort of poking, funded her sort of a breath i see over crank performance. Lets listen to scarlet johanson. She was doing it over the weekend. Lets lets watch worried about the future of our children and this is why ive invited you into this strange md kitchen because republicans want it took me to appeal to women voters. And women love Kitchen Larry is never good when you get the republican response, and it immediately becomes a Saturday Night Live segment. And it was it was anticipated. I mean, had snl not done it this weekend, it would have been sort of an epic fail on their part. It was just sort of like served up on a, On A Silver Platter in a kitchen, i guess you could say yes. Katie britt deserved an oscar for most misleading performance ever. Ive watched almost all the responses to the state of the Union Address since they started in 1966. This is absolutely the worst, not just in terms of that awful anecdote, but also her presentation. I dont know who trained turn to speak that way or to vary her emotions and in such extremes, most people cite poor old senator marco rubio is having the worst state of the Union Response a few years back because he reached for a water bottle off off camera because he was parched. Thats nothing compared to what she did. These people, katie, britt, and all her colleagues have dozens of aids and staffers, plus the Party Researchers and you meet i put her out there knowing that this is not right yeah. No and larry, i mean, kudos to there was a guy on tiktok. I think john cats, jonathan katz, who discovered this and sort of blew the whistle on it. And then the media pounds so good for him. I mean, it just goes to show you there folks out there paying attention to this stuff. And margaret, it also highlights how immigration is just going to be this hotbutton issue all the way until the election. And donald trump, just over the weekend was hurling more super heated rhetoric on the subject. Lets listen to this talk about on the other side i will seal the border im going to do it. And i was stopped this invasion. I will end the agony of our people the plunder of our cities, the sacking of our towns, the violation of our citizens, and the conquest of our country. Theyre conquering our country these people are conquering our country theyre horrible people margaret, nobody is disputing that theres a problem at the border. Obviously, they need to crack down on whats taking place at the border. But i mean, who believes this that there are people conquering our cities. And so, i mean it just seems so farfetched that i guess about a loss as to who whos buying this stuff. Well well, actually, jim, im really glad you raised this because this is really important. The language that donald trump was using, there was very explicitly the language of war the plundering of our cities, right . The combatting at the border. All of those verbs are verbs that imply that there is a war at stake. And why is he using the language of bellicosity and of war because he is laying the groundwork for being able to use our military. If he is elected president on the border, he is trying to justify have you use our militaries troops in what will essentially be using war powers of the presidency in order to tackle the crisis at the border. And so its not a mistake that hes using that word. Those words. I just want to say about katie britt yes. Larry, im with you. It was a bad performance, but when it comes to these kinds of issues of future potential president returning to the presidency and using war powers on the border. Katie britt is one of the, one of the rare republicans. There are too few of these days who Behind Closed Doors is deliberately reasoned and sensible and so it just speaks to the tragedy of the Republican Party and its ownership by donald trump. That theyre painted into a box and can even be intellectually honest abo
