there is now a new york nexus. in the office behind me, they will have a press conference at 11:00 a.m. they are able to bring this case. as they say, epstein had a network here in new york city of underage girls as well as underage girls in florida. and we have known about that for some period of time. another thing that's interesting to me, hallie, looking over these pages in the indictment, about 14 pages here is that they very closely follow the palm beach police department's request for a state attorney to bring charges in florida dating back to 2006. so it raises even more questions about what the former u.s. attorney, now secretary of labor acosta was doing when he signed this nonprosecution agreement back in the mid-2000s. we expect him to be brought in front of a judge later today. the bail hearing will be key. epstein has a significant amount of wealth. access to his own planes, plural. we will see whether or not there's an early challenge to whether this indictment could be brought at all based on that n

we know that some of these crimes happened in new york, so the new york federal prosecutors have jurisdiction. we know that they were not bound by this nonprosecution agreement that was entered into between the federal prosecutors in florida. so i think the new york case is on very solid ground and in addition, as we just heard from the reporter, there is an ongoing investigation. there was already evidence seized from his mansion that suggests there may be additional charges based on what was taken out of that mansion much and victims are finding their voices. they are coming forward and they are telling their stories, so there may be charges outside of those that were revealed today. so i think this is a great day for justice for those victims that have had the courage to come forward to talk about this horrific sex trafficking case. >> yes. maybe to shimon's point, james, they feel more comfortable or better knowing he is behind bars and they feel like they can use their voices. but listen to the fbi today. they made a plea to anyone who may have been victimized by this man or any sort of

say they were victimized here in new york. so you wonder why that didn't sort of ring the alarm bells a decade ago. thank you both. stay with us. meantime, this morning tension is growing still between the u.s. and one of our closest allies as the president lashes out as the u.k. ambassador to the united states. the president calling him whacky and, quote, a very stupid guy. recently leaked memo showed the ambassador described the president as inept and someone who radiates insecurity. a top ranking u.k. security source says, quote, there's nothing to suggest a hostile state is involved with those leaked cables. the president says he's no longer willing to deal with derek at all. last night he disinvited derek to this white house dinner. david sanger is with us, our political and national security analyst and national security correspondent for "the times." good morning. so derek didn't get invited to dinner. the president doesn't like being insulted, you can't come to dinner. but i should note robert kraft was invited to the

from the new york police department received a query from interpol about -- surfacing on new york streets, they investigated and determined that they were stolen by wall street employee who had been blackmailed because of his homosexuality. further investigation pointed to the area around the stonewall as a likely origin of the blackmailing operation. at a time of extensive investigation into police corruption in new york city, seymour pine, a police officer with a reputation for being honest, had been transferred against his wishes to had the first division of the public mall squad. soon thereafter, he was summoned to a meeting with his captain, and ordered to put the stonewall out of business because of its connection with the mafia black male operation. after some more routine rates on the stonewall, pine organized a large raid early in the morning of june 28, 1969. but the real reason for the raid was not made public. by this time, pine had gathered from previous rates he had conducted on the stonewall, that the local sixth precinct was informing the club when a raid was planned. so,

we are standing by right now for a news conference out of new york. power, money, sex, and potentially dozens of underage victims is what this is all about. new charges have just been filed against a billionaire with extensive political connections. his name is jeffrey epstein. he's right now sitting behind bars in new york as he was picked up over the weekend when he landed back in the states on his private jet. federal prosecutors are any moment expected to lay out the case they say they have against him. but the indictment that's been released already gives us an idea. victims as young as 14 years old, abused for years and even paid to recruit earth underage victims. the indictment detailing, quote, that epstein created a vast network of underage victims for him to sexually exploit in locations including new york and palm beach. that is from the indictment. epstein evaded similar charges a decade ago that focused only in florida. he avoided serious jail time, thanks to a secret plea deal then that he secured with federal prosecutors. here is the ki

york post" and had a lot off great resources in the new york state gop. he told me about the run in 2014, and i've lived back and forth between new york and la. i didn't realize how serious he took that and almost how serious that was. i handed him a copy of this oral history, which i am a fan of that format, and it turns out that he had a great resources. he brought his political sources in iraand i've got a lot of meda sources and in the end we produced a book that has 114 on the recor record and on now on s sources telling the story of how trump was deliberate and methodical in his political strategy, but this wasn't something that he just decided a few days before the famous escalator ride into this wasn't a joke. he wasn't trying to get a tv channel at the end, and that surprised look he might have had on election night was a surprise that he actually won, not surprise that now i'm really president. he's wanted to be president for a long time. he's talked about it and thought about it since an interview he did it come with the entertainment reporter.

of new york, is on this case. how do you interpret that? >> i don't know. i have to leave it to preet. i have great respect for him. i remember when he was a staffer to then senator schumer. a very sharp fellow. i don't know about the corruption side of it. where it might delve. it would be pure speculation. >> because he's suggesting that perhaps there were some public figures who may emerge. no evidence of that but a lot of experts who know something about the southern district in northern are suggesting that. do you want more details on the nature of president trump's relationship with epstein? and bill clinton's relationship with epstein, for that matter. >> well, i don't know that that has been associated with any of the charges in florida or now in new york. his association with either of those presidents. so i wouldn't necessarily say that is relevant evidence at that point. we're talking about the human scale of this. there is plenty of evidence to lead to this indictment. >> let's turn to the upcoming tes

i think anything "the new york times" writes nowadays, they use the word unhinged, "the new york times," when me write a story like that, i went to my people and they said, sir, it's not true. we told them about a crisis. they said it was manufactured. they laughed, but "the new york times" story is a fabrication. i had people there that told me the job they are doing is incredible. >> okay. so i know you're shaking your head and i have a minute left with you. briefly, what were you writing about and what is your response to the president? >> my colleagues and i for that story talked to border patrol agents and they were our primary sources, agents who worked at the facility in clint, texas, and told us what they saw. the idea that is a fabrication is completely ridiculous. these are people who have firsthand knowledge of the conditions. but if you don't believe them, you can look at inspector general reports that the department of homeland security has created and they corroborate the conditions that we wrote about in the facilities and so when you have the agency that runs the facili

attorney for the southern district of new york. so, preet, what does this mean for the president's quest to include a citizenship question on the census? >> well, it doesn't help that effort. we all sat around the television and the newspapers last week under the impression that that fight was over because the supreme court made a ruling saying that you can't add a citizenship question on the basis of a pretext. and now you have a series of lawyers who decided for whatever reason that they don't want to be on the case anymore and that's what people have suspected about this. and judge fuhrman, who is a very good judge, i know him, he's a smart guy and he doesn't take any nonsense. he's not going to let the case proceed unless he understands under oath the reasons why these lawyers have decided to remove themselves from the case or if they were removed by other folks. so it slows things down. it also, i think, sends a signal to other lawyers in the department who are career officials who care about their reputations that they can't
