ignored, experts say. because what it holds may be the truth. >> i think the big problem this country has is being politically correct. >> reporter: jean casarez, cnn, new york. >> i don't know what to do with my hands now. thanks for joining us everybody. "ac 360" starts right now. good evening. thanks for joining us. we begin tonight keeping them honest with the debate donald trump and the controversy over questions he was asked about his past comments about some women. a record 24 million people watched him and nine other republicans on that stage last night in cleveland. eight times more viewers than the first debate of the 2012 campaign. and there's no denying a lot of that viewership was because donald trump was on that stage. here's the exchange between meghan kelly and trump that continues to reverberate today. >> you've called women you don't like fat pigs dogs slobs and disgusting animals. your twitter account -- >> only rosie o'donnell.

>> no it wasn't. your twitter account -- [ cheers and applause ] >> thank you. >> for the record it was well beyond rosie o'donnell. >> yes, i'm sure it was. >> your twitter account has several desparjing comments about women's looks. you once told a contestant on celebrity apprentice it would be a pretty picture to see her on her knees. does that sound to you like the temperament of a man that should be elected president. and how are you to handle hillary clinton who is likely to be the democratic nominee that you are part of the war on women? >> i think the big problem this country has is being politically correct. i've been -- [ applause ] >> i've been challenged by so many people and i don't frankly have time for total political correctness. frankly, what i say and oftentimes it's fun, it's

kidding, we have a good time. what i say is what i say. and honestly, megyn if you don't like it -- >> just minutes after the debate ended, donlds trump began criticizing that question and megyn kelly, many of his supporters found her question unfair and trump continuing critiquing the issue on msnbc today. >> i didn't say many of those things. they said something and they were getting out some words and i don't remember that on the apprentice. i don't know where they got some of these words, to be honest with you. >> he went onto say that he'd have to check them out. keeping them honest we did as well. >> she came to my wedding. she ate like a pig. seriously, the wedding cake was like missing in action. >> the rosie o'donnell insults which he admits to are pretty well known by now. that said when it comes to making disparaging remarks about

other women other than rosie o'donnell, there are many to choose from. when asked why necessary to comment on publisher ariana huffington's looks, because she's a dog who wrongfully comments on me. he once sent her a picture of himself with the words face of a dog written on it. about bette mid ler, i refuse to say that because i always insist on being politically correct. and about ariana huffington unattractive both inside and out. i fully understand why her former husband left her for a man. he made a good decision. as for a moment on "the apprentice apprentice" megyn kelly was referring to last night. >> came in here got down on my knees and said i passionately want to do this. i'm at this point the team chooser -- >> excuse me. you dropped to your knees? >> yes. >> must be a pretty picture you dropping to your knees. >> donald trump on "the

apprentice." the woman she was speaking to said the thought trump was kidding and didn't even remember it. as for calling a woman a disgust disgusting animal we could not remember that particular reference. trump's attorney said he did call a female attorney during a deposition disgusting because she says she wanted to pump her breast for milk in front of him for her child. but the word animal was apparently not used. mr. trump himself told cnn's dana bash he might have said disgust or might have said something else. as i mentioned trump supporters took to twitter to criticize the way they felt the moderators treated donald trump. earlier this morning he retweeted, quote, fox give low marks to bimbo megyn kelly. so while the question was largely accurate in substance, the trump campaign clearly feels it was unfair and not similar to any questions asked of other candidates on that stage. joining us tonight, michael

cohen, executive vice president for the trump organization and special counsel to donald trump. michael, it's clear donald trump was not happy with certain parts of the debate particularly megyn kelly asking him about past comments on women. why did he think that was unfair? >> you know look as of yesterday my understanding now that the fox debate ended up showing up something like 24 million people watching that as opposed to 5 million the year before they really all came or i should say they viewed the segment yesterday in order to see what donald trump was going to say. and i think that the moderators really lost a great opportunity in order to allow mr. trump to show exactly what he wanted to talk about, which is the economy, jobs immigration, reform et cetera. the things that people really wanted to hear from mr. trump. they didn't really get that opportunity. mostly because they decided to

distract by talking about really what amounts to nonsense. >> but isn't the moderator's job to press the candidates on a whole variety of topics not to just kind of tee up for what the candidates want to talk about? >> well the answer is yes. but we should really be -- this is a gop presidential debate. this isn't talking about an old story about a feud that goes back years which has, you know a long history to it. it's just not presidential. and it didn't make any sense to at least the many many viewers that sent out tweets and e-mails and so on. it just didn't make any sense. >> in the past there have been questions raised about language that donald trump has used even during this race against other candidates. i'm not talking about feuds with rosie o'donnell and stuff like that but even in his response to last night he retweeted

somebody who had tweeted calling megyn kelly a bimbo. is that something that a presidential candidate should really be retweeting? it sounds like he's advocating that kind of language. >> you know i don't know if he read the full tweet. i don't know what his position was on it. look president obama while sitting with putin made a comment using improper language. nobody says anything. you know he's human. he's not a politico. you know he's donald trump. >> but it does i mean for a president of the united states -- as president of the united states donald trump would be getting tough questions all the time. is he going to be referencing, you know female reporters as bimbos or retweeting other people's comments? >> i don't know. anderson listen i don't know whether he tweeted it or somebody from the campaign retweeted it it's irrelevant to be very honest with you. what's really important here is

that 24 million people got a chance to see mr. trump. they see that he's not taking any nonsense. and that's the type of things that we need in this country. we don't need to talk about individual whether it was rosie or megyn, it makes no difference. what's important is how are we going to do immigration reform? how are we going to handle the economy? how are we going to create jobs? this is what 24 million people viewed. the reason they went to view it is in order to hear how donald trump is going to with his tag line make america great again. and they did not get that opportunity because there were questions asked to him that really were not for this debate. >> michael cohen, good to have you on. >> anderson always great to see you. thank you. bring in our chief political analyst, gloria borger national tea party leader and trump supporter amanda pierson.

amanda what do you make of what michael cohen said? i mean should a comment that donald trump made about rosie o'donnell years ago, and others you know comments he made on twitter or on "the apprentice," should that be raised in a republican primary debate? >> of course it should. i stood up and cheered when megyn kelly asked that question. mr. cohen can come on and say he'd rather talk about the issues. well the purpose of a campaign is to prove that you have the character to become president of the united states. and when you demean a woman for asking a necessary question that voters want to hear about, that shows that you don't have the character to take that office. >> katrina, i mean i know you're a trump supporter. do you have any concerns that he just has a really thin skin? i mean we've had many presidents and many folks in the white house who have had thin skins and often that over time causes real issues certainly for reporters and for many people. do you have any concerns about that? do you think those questions were appropriate? >> i don't have any concerns. i mean this was mr. trump's

very first national debate on that stage in that element. so i'm going to give him a pass for this first one and see how things develop. and i do i agree, i think the question was relevant. however, mr. trump is an entertainer. "the apprentice" is a television show. most of what goes on there is scripted and for ratings. everybody that does television knows that. you didn't hear anybody calling ronald reagan a wife beater just because he appeared in a movie where he was beating up a woman. so i think it was pulled out of context, and maybe shouldn't have been in this particular debate which i believe should have been a debate about policy. so these individuals could introduce themselves to 24 million people. >> when trump retweets someone calling megyn kelly a bimbo, as a supporter of his, do you think that's acceptable of someone who wants to be president? >> well i give no weight to twitter. and most of the time when you're out there going through those feeds, tweeting and retweeting might see something you like and maybe it was an accident. who knows at this point. he didn't say he did it on purpose. i've done it before myself.

so i don't really give too much credence to twitter at this point. >> gloria -- >> can i just jump in here? >> yeah. they said retweet happened hours ago and the fact cohen came on the show and said he didn't know how it happened you have to suspend belief in order to think that's true. he has to figure out, frankly the fact that this may be the first statement trump hasn't owned and hasn't defended may tell you even he knows he's in trouble. >> gloria -- >> it's twitter. we should be talking about moving forward and policies that are going to effect the country, not twitter. >> but it's his tweets. >> gloria one of the things you pointed out is that none of the candidates spoke out last night to condemn trump's comments. do you think carly fiorina, who we're going to talk to in a moment on this show had been on that stage that things might have been different? >> i do. i think it was notable for example that rand paul was kind of itching to go after donald trump on surveillance issues. but when it came to this

question nobody sort of stepped in and said you know i think those comments are not things that you would think would come from a president of the united states. nobody did that. i would argue and be interesting to see what carly fiorina says to you, anderson but i would argue that if she had been on that stage that she would have found that pretty hard to resist. that you know those words coming from somebody who you are voting for who will be the person to decide whether you send your children to war, it's the most personal vote you make for president of the united states. i guarantee you that a woman standing there would have felt the need to actually say something about it. >> amanda what about that? do you think he has the temperament to be president of the united states? >> absolutely not. and his actions in the past 24 hours have prove that to be true. i mean we have to be able to win the womens vote. and just think, cnn did a poll last month before this debate

even happened that showed hillary clinton was beating him with the female vote by 28 points. that is only going to improve in her favor if he keeps this up. >> katrina -- >> the numbers also show this. they don't need women to vote. they need the base to vote. mitt romney lost because republicans didn't vote. what we really saw last night 24 million people saw mr. trump go after a woman, meaning he's probably the only one that's going to have the guts to go after hillary clinton. >> one of the reasons mitt romney lost is because barack obama won women by 11 points. republicans need to convince more suburban married women who can vote republican convince more of them that they ought to vote republican. and i would argue if you're sitting at home on the couch and you're a woman and you're watching donald trump and you watch the question from megyn kelly and then you heard him say

to megyn kelly, you know maybe i shouldn't be so nice to you, or something to that effect that a lot of women are going to kind of say, whoa that offends me. >> and a lot of women went on facebook and defended him as well. there's a viral video right now with two black women on his side. so it goes both ways. >> i'm sure there are. and people who like donald trump will probably say this was okay this was just donald trump. but people who are deciding you know we're at the beginning of this campaign a lot of people are deciding. and they look at that and makes women in particular sort of scratch their heads. >> well there's certainly a long way to go in this campaign. it's as everyone says it's a marathon not a sprint. we'll see where things go especially to your point of the next debate. gloria katrina, great to have you on. amanda as well. quick note if you want to hear more from donald trump himself, stay with cnn. he's calling in with don lemon 9:00 p.m. eastern time. much more on the debate ahead

including how well the other candidates made use of their time on the stage. and a look at what their body language was saying as they talked and as they listened. plus my conversation with carly fiorina who is getting a lot of good reviews for her non-primetime performance in cleveland that a lot of viewers even watched that. that's next. technology empowers us to achieve

welcome back. it goes without saying that last night's primetime debate got the lion's share of viewers, huge numbers. donald trump made the most headlines of the ten men on stage. turns out though the earlier debate for the other seven candidates also spotlighted a candidate who is getting a lot of bounce today, or a lot of notice i should say at least from her performance. carly fiorina. >> on day one in the oval office i would make two phone calls. the first one would be to my good friend b.b. netanyahu to reassure him we'll stand with israel. we have to undo a whole set of things that president obama has done to get at the heart of his disrespect and disregard for too many americans. here's the thing that i would ask donald trump in all seriousness. he is the party's front runner right now and good for him. since he has changed his mind on amnesty, on health care and on abortion i would just ask what are the principles by which he will govern. hillary clinton lies about

benghazi she lies about e-mails, she is still defending planned parenthood, and she is still her party's front runner. we need a nominee who is going to throw every punch, not pull punches. and someone who cannot stumble before he even gets into the ring. only someone who will challenge the status quo of washington, d.c. can lead the resurgence of this great nation. i will do that. >> carly fiorina is the former ceo of hewlett packard. i spoke to her earlier tonight. carly, first of all, congratulations on basically what everybody considers to be a stellar performance in the early debate. do you think it's going to be enough to vault you into the top tier for the next debate? >> well we'll see. you know national polls measure name id. in state polls i have been in the top ten for some time but national polls measure among other things name id. i'm not a professional

politician. i'm not a celebrity. and so i started out with the lowest name id in the field. that may be changing after last night. but, you know a campaign isn't going to get won or lost by who's in which debate. i think it will get won or lost by doing the hard work of campaigning day after day after day, which is what i'm doing. >> donald trump has been saying that in the debate last night megyn kelly was unfair nasty, unprofessional. he's continued to say this on twitter and elsewhere. even retweeted somebody else's tweet saying she was a bimbo. i'm wondering what you make of how he was treated, in particular him going after her and his response to her question about comments on women? >> you know i think that megyn kelly and all the other moderators actually did a really good job in both debates. i think they were asking each candidate what they considered to be tough but fair questions. and i think megyn kelly's

questions were tough but fair. >> certainly in your debate even a lot of the moderators were asking tough questions of all the candidates basically many of the questions were sort of along the lines of do you even deserve to be here. >> well look i think what moderators are trying to do -- look i've not moderated a debate but if i were in that position what i would want to do is put a little pressure on candidates because i think character is revealed when people are under pressure. and in the end what a campaign is designed to do i think, as crazy as this process is american voters get to see people over time and under pressure. and so in that debate i think the moderators were trying to put everyone under a little pressure to see how they would respond. >> trump's refusal to rule out a third-party run or support the eventual nominee, should republican voters think twice about supporting him because of that? and was that a fair question to start off the debate with? >> i think it was a fair

question. i was disappointed by his answer. and other republican voters are going to have to decide what they think about that. >> does it bother you when you hear people say carly fiorina did a great job last night. maybe she'd be a good running mate for one of the other candidates? i heard greta push back on that idea saying look you're running for president, not vice president. it's not fair to downplay you in that way. do you think people would be talking about you in a vice president context if you were a man? >> well you know anderson i started out as a secretary. in a nine-person real estate firm. i've been called a bimbo, and i've been called another b word as well. i've been underestimated all my life. and i've competed with men all my life as well. so i don't mind being underestimate underestimated. and i don't mind what other people think. what i know is that i'm running for president. what i know is that i can win this job. what i know is that i can do this job. and now my job is to talk with

as many voters as i can so that they can see that i can win this job and do this job. >> carly fiorina, i appreciate you being on tonight. thank you very much. >> thanks anderson. a lot more to talk about just ahead. ten candidates stood on that same stage last night in cleveland. they did not share in the strictest sense of the word. one of them got a lot more air time than the others. you may be able to guess who that was. tom foreman breaks down what was said minute by minute. the signs are everywhere. the lincoln summer invitation is on. get exceptional offers on the mkz sedan... the luxury small utility mkc ...the iconic navigator. and get a first look at the entirely new 2016 mid-size utility lincoln mkx. your choice of mkc mkz gas or hybrid for $369 a month with zero due at signing.

i know how hard our crews work for our customers. i want them to know that they do have a safe and reliable system. together, we're building a better california. donald trump has made it clear he's not happy about some of the questions he was asked about last night, but there are a couple things he can't complain about. as the front runner he had the best position on the stage, the center spot. he was hard to miss in many of the shots. he also got the lion's share of the spotlight because he talked the most. tom foreman tonight breaks it down for us. tom. >> hey, anderson. a lot of republicans were worried donald trump would suck all the oxygen out of the room in this debate. and he sure did chew up some minutes. look at this analysis by "the washington post." ten and a half minutes of talking time for trump during the course of this debate. the nearest competitor bush with 8:47. most of the others only got six

to zefb seven minutes of talking time except for rand paul who barely managed to squeeze in five minutes of talking time. name recognition too saw trump trumping everyone else. they all need to hear their name said on stage there, but trump's was said more than anyone else 28 times. most of the others were about half that much at best. another name you heard a lot out there almost as much as trump's, hillary clinton's. and the one name you heard more than anybody else barack obama. so obama, trump and clinton loomed very large over the republican debate. and what were the people on stage talking about? you might expect the word freedom or free a lot, free was said only four times. rights came up only seven times. women really count in this election and yet we heard the word women only eight times. security was said a lot, 22 times we heard them talking about security although sometimes that was a reference to social security. but the one word we heard over

and over and over again 62 times, america. yeah. it was so big in this debate we had to knock down the wall just to get it into the studio. anderson. >> tom, thanks. let's dig deeper with our panel, jeffrey lord served as white house political director for ronlds reagan and contributing or american spectator. also ari fleischer. unfair moderators were the toughest on him, the fact he did get more air time than anyone else his name mentioned more than anyone else do you think it's fair for him to complain? >> well, you know, anderson i'll be honest with you here i'm not sure it matters what he thinks. i think it matters what america thinks. and i'll just give you some an anecdote anecdote. i don't have enough data that i feel i need to sort of make a call here but i was on a radio show a conservative radio show in birmingham alabama this

morning. and i asked the host what's up what's the reaction. and he said that he's being overwhelmed with one, they love donald trump, two was ted cruz, three was marco rubio. and the interesting fourth was they were really angry at fox news which i found startling. >> yeah. >> i then went to rush limbaugh limbaugh's site here late this afternoon and he apparently said more or less the same thing. and i read you know a caller had called in and was furious with fox news. so how this you know plays out i know there's a drudge poll out there that shows ted cruz first and donald trump second and a poll that shows donald trump first, you know i personally need to see more than that. but i think anecdotally this is very interesting here. >> it sure is. ari, what do you make of that? do you think he was treated fairly? what do you think of the response? >> well anderson first i really do have to say that when

donlds trump says he's the toughest best negotiator in america, and he says he can take on and go toe-to-toe with vladimir putin, the first thing he did was complain about megyn kelly was unfair. i think that's out of touch with international realities he says he's so ready for. >> you think he's too thin skinned? >> absolutely. here's donald trump's opportunity and problem. one, the people who are for him i don't think are ever going to be shaken off of him. he is going to capture the antiestablishment mood of this country, the antiestablishment wing of the republican party, which traditionally is between 20% and 25%. i think that's going to stay pretty much like that. here's his vulnerability though. the more people see him, and the longer he talks, the more he's going to wear thin on everybody else. and therefore he has a sealant. he can do well in a multicandidate field when he has the biggest plurality. when he's going to struggle is february and march where the field shrinks and whittled down

he can't get above 20 or 25 because he's not good at building new bridges or convincing to be for him. >> ari, does a candidate at this stage -- if you read every trump interview, which i've done for the last couple months as i've been following him and preparing to talk to him, that's how you prepare for an interview. >> sure. >> you see patterns of what he talks about and what he says. he repeats over and over again. which a lot of candidates do. does he have to though as this campaign evolves, evolve as well in terms of having a greater repertoire of things he can talk about? or is it enough to continue along the messages he's been hitting which clearly have been resonating. >> every candidate has to do that not just donlds trump. donald trump starts in a very different position but every candidate learns and gets better as the campaign gets hotter. one thing about campaigns is tests you and american people make the judgment about who is the best. but donald trump's problem is he might come across so hot every single debate that those who want the heat are going to stay for him, but nobody else.

he does have to show an ability to evolve to be more nuanced, to make subtle points and to convince people that he's right as opposed to yell at them to say that he's right. >> it was interesting, jeffrey, because again, chris wallace last night was trying to press him on you know specific evidence that the mexican government is forcing rapists and others across the border something i tried to get him to give the prior week or two weeks before that. he doesn't really have it other than to say i've talked to some border patrol people and this is what they tell me. is that over the long haul you know is that going to continue to play okay? >> yeah. i think it will play okay in you know parts of america that are not, you know new york washington and maybe the west coast establishment type places. i do think that. i mean people are seeing these television pictures of people streaming across the border from mexico. and, you know the obvious

thought is why isn't -- and we've discussed this before why is it mexico stopping them? why is it up to us? we should obviously be doing something, but why are they just letting this happen? so clearly the mexican government by default is doing something here by not doing something. so i really think that you know he's made this point with people. and i think it does resonate. >> ari, just briefly, how do you think jeb bush did? he's raising an awful lot of money and don't hear a lot of talk about him today. >> he didn't do that well. i think for jeb and scott walker they said their goal is to be senior and seen as presidential and let donald trump get into a fight and not a bad long-term strategy because i think ultimately it will be walker and bush the two left standing but they're both going to have to show more heat more passion, more emotion in these debates because tv does send a very powerful signal about who you are. >> sure does.

ari fleischer, thank you. jeffrey, always good to have you on. >> thanks anderson. it's not just words that count in a presidential debate. ahead, which candidate had the body language or won the body language last night, who may have lost points without ever saying a word. talk about that ahead. imagine - she won't have to remember passwords. or obsess about security. she'll log in with her smile. he'll have his very own personal assistant. and this guy won't just surf the web. he'll touch it. scribble on it. and share it. because these kids will grow up with windows 10. get started today. windows 10. a more human way to do. caring for someone with alzheimer's means i am a lot of things. i am his guardian. i am his voice. so i asked about adding once-daily namenda xr to his current treatment for moderate to severe alzheimer's.

s nchtsz we've been talking a lot about what the candidates said during last night's republican presidential debate. but it's not just words that matter or how a candidate speaks. in some cases body language experts say can be even more crucial than what comes out of somebody's mouth. gary tuchman watched the debate with an expert in body language. nick morgan works with people to try to improve communications skills. gary asked him what stood out last night. >> we look to the body to let us know what your emotion is your true feeling is underlying the content. >> raise your hand now if you won't make that pledge tonight. >> so he raises his hands, moves his hands to the side he smiles nods his head. what does that tell you? >> he's opening up there. which means he's saying in effect trust me i'm open i'm not trying to put one over on

you. that's who i am. >> he's already hedging his bet on the clintons. >> donald trump, his face is so unusual compared to those other candidates. he's got the squint going, frowning most of the time. it's a face that would normally be offputting for the average person but somehow trump makes it work. >> the bar is even higher for me. that's fine. >> watching jeb bush in the beginning of the debate what was your major take on him? >> fascinating because he comes out saying i'm my own man, but what he does is he tilts his head when he talks about his dad. >> i'm proud of my dad and my brother. >> he's tilting his head to one side that gives up authority. that says you're in charge not me. >> if you think it's bad now, you should have seen it when i got there. >> so as christie leans in to the podium he's both saying i'm getting comfortable here and i'm creating more of a connection between me and the audience. and so i like those moves on his part. >> and i believe that that is an unborn child that's in need of protection out there. >> that was interesting that governor walker's holding his hands like he's holding a baby.

>> what happened was he started talking first and then he gestured. if we're doing it naturally what we do is we gesture first and then we speak. >> talk to him directly and say how you respond to that. >> jeb bush smiling, trump with his arms out like this what is this telling you? this must tell you a lot of things. >> this is trump at his most typical. he's saying i don't care so sue me. he's wide open. he's i'm not defensive about this. >> i don't trust president obama with our records. i know you gave him a big hug, and if you want to give him a big hug again, go right ahead. >> what's happening there with rand paul is once again he looks borderline out of control. his voice is gone way up. gestures have gotten huge. he's almost pounding the podium there. he's waving his hands about whereas christie is leaning on the podium once again. he looks a little more in control. >> based on body language alone, who won the debate? >> i'd have to say donald trump. he came out strong from the beginning and stayed strong throughout. >> and runner-up?

>> runner-up surprising to me was chris christie. i think he connected better than anybody else except trump with the audience. it felt like a conversation. it felt like he was being honest and open and talking to us the audience. >> and that was based on his body language. >> that was based on body language. >> certainly gives us a lot more to think about and watch for in the next debate. cnn will be hosting that debate on september 16th at the ronlds reagan presidential library in seemy valley california. coming up next breaking news explosive new allegations in the death of bobby chrisi kristina brown. u had some blocks and you had major thoroughfares and corridors that were just totally pitch black. those things had to change. we wanted to restore our lighting system in the city. you can have the greatest dreams in the world, but unless you can finance those dreams, it doesn't happen. at the time that the bankruptcy filing was done, the public lighting authority had a hard time of finding a bank.

lawsuit alleges that her boyfriend, nick gordon gave her a toxic cocktail that knocked her unconscious and then he put her facedown in a bathtub. brown the only daughter of the late whitney houston and bobbi brown died 12 days ago months after being found unresponsive in her home. randi kaye joins us with the breaking news. what exactly does this lawsuit claim? >> anderson the lawsuit claims that nick gordon who had been living with bobbi kristina took part in this violent attack on her claiming that he made her this toxic cocktail that caused her to sustain a profound brain injury. and that brain injury caused her death. now, the lawsuit also says that nick gordon was physically abusive to bobbi kristina. it describes an incident just days before she died saying this the defendant lunged onto bobbi kristina while she sat on the living room couch hitting her so hard in the face that the couch actually broke knocking her to the floor and continuing to beat her in the face, anderson until she was bloody.

>> and what does it claim happened the day that she was found? >> well the lawsuit claims that that morning, which was january 31st 2015 nick gordon came home from this all-night cocaine and drinking binge and then watched this camera footage of bobbi kristina where apparently he heard a conversation that she had with a friend saying nick gordon wasn't the man that she thought he was. and that's when the lawsuit says that they got into this loud argument. the lawsuit claims that nick gordon screamed at bobbi kristina accusing her of cheating going so far as to call her names. the argument lasted for 30 minutes and then everything got quiet. now, the lawsuit claims that gordon gave bobbi kristina this toxic cocktail rendering her unconscious and then put her facedown in a tub of cold water causing her to suffer brain damage. the lawsuit goes onto say, anderson that the defendant then came out of the master bedroom wearing a different set

of clothing than he was wearing prior to his argument with bobbi kristina, got in bed and laid his head on some female guest's ankle, another woman in the house, and stated now i want a pretty little white girl like you. that is a direct quote, anderson from the lawsuit. >> and what exactly was gordon's relationship with bobbi kristina? has anyone ever figured that one out? >> a lot of people have been trying to figure that out. nick gordon was taken in by whitney houston when he was 12 years old. he was raised as a brother to bobbi kristina they began dating somewhere around 2012. he claimed to be her boyfriend. at one poibt e point then even her husband but never offered any proof about that. the lawsuit alleges that nick gordon falsely presented them as a married couple so he could gain access to her money. and the lawsuit also then goes onto say that he was very controlling of bobbi kristina that he would answer her personal cell phone, wanted to know who she was talking to even installed cameras so he

could watch and hear her in her home whenever he wasn't there. >> has nick gordon commented on this suit? >> well bobbi kristina died on july 26th. after that we heard from his mom on his behalf. she put out the statement saying that the passing of bobbi kristina is devastating to nick and eard anything back. >> randi, thank you very much. troubling allegations. a lot to discuss. joined by criminal defense attorney mark geragos, and on the phone, former prosecutor sunny hostin. mark what do you make of the lawsuit? clearly it is very specific. i've don't kno if it is based on comments or an affidavit, or anybody in the house, this woman allegedly in the house. what do you make of this?

>> well arguably the only person who could have given the information was the "pretty little white girl." who he laid his head on or her ankle. what's happening here from a legal standpoint there is an estate and it is a substantial estate. and if he has proof that he was married, he would inherit that estate except if he was responsible for her death. so the estate is taking the position that he caused her death if they prevail on that then he is not entitled to anything. >> that's what is that the core of this? >> yeah that's clearly what's at the core. the estate does not care arguably who caused the death or anything else except if it affects or has some problem or has some ramification if you will as to who gets part of the,

part and parcel of the estate. >> dewey ao you agree, this is essentially accusing nick gordon of murdering her. there are no criminal charges filed at this point. do you think this is at the core about the inheritance? >> no i completely disagree with mark. as you know anderson i have been in contact with the houston family. they have made it very clear to me since january that they felt that nick gordon was response bum for bobby christina's -- bobbi kristina's condition. they made it clear that when she arrived at the hospital she had missing teeth, injuries consistent end with a struggle. this is something that they have held steadfast to every single time tie speaki speak to them. so i don't think this has anything to do with the estate trying to counter punch a potential marriage.

they also made it very clear to mae that they were not married. i actually spoke to someone very close to the family that spoke to bobbi kristina that person was clearly told that no they were not married. if she were to get married, this person would have been the first person to know. and so i think it is very much so about the family wanting nick gordon to be found accountable and to be accountable for what they believe is his role in her death. we know that there is a criminal investigation ongoing. i reached out to the family just today. >> that's exactly why -- >> this morning. >> that's exactly. >> mark, mark, mark. what i don't get, if there is all this evidence mark and all of these eyewitness testimony, or ear witness testimony, and this toxic cocktail if all that is true why haven't some sort of charges already been filed? >> that's exactly, exactly,

anderson. if there is all of this if all of their concerned about is getting to the truth, then you do it through the criminal process. you don't bring in the estate to file a lawsuit which is going to frankly muck up the criminal process. if you are a prosecutor. the last thing you want is a bunch of civil lawyers getting in the mix. so that's why i say, i think it is a preemptive strike by the estate ultimately there is legal peril for him. that's why he has got a criminal lawyer. that's whey he is going to need to address this. if they have a witness who, who has even one tenth of the information that is contained in the complaint, that is the beginnings of a criminal investigation. >> got to leave it there. mark thank you very much. sunny hostin. >> the search intensifying for remains of mh370.
