>> HELLO. THIS IS “OUTNUMBERED.” I’M EMILY COMPAGNO HERE WITH MY CO HOST, KAYLEIGH McENANY AND HARRIS FAULKNER AND ALSO JOINING US TODAY, THE HOST OF KENNEDY ON FOX BUSINESS, KENNEDY AND GUY BENSON. WE BEGIN WITH NEW DEVELOPMENTS AGAINST THE CASE AGAINST FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP.

ALVIN BRAGG’S OFFICE ATTEMPTING TO PUNCH BACK AND HAS ISSUED A TOP RESPONSE TO REPUBLICANS DEMANDING THAT HE TESTIFY BEFORE CONGRESS AND TURN OVER DOCUMENTS RELATED TO HIS INVESTIGATION INTO THE FORMER PRESIDENT. HIS SPOKESMAN TELLING FOX NEWS DIGITAL, WE WILL NOT BE INTIMIDATED BY ATTEMPTS TO

UNDERMINE THE JUSTICE PROCESS. FOR WILL WE LET BASELESS ACCUSATIONS DETER US FROM FAIRLY APPLYING THE LAW. AND EVERY PROSECUTION, WE FOLLOW THE LAW WITHOUT FEAR OR FAVOR TO UNCOMFORTABLE THE TRUTH. OUR SKILLED AND HONEST LAWYERS REMAIN HARD AT WORK. FOX NEWS IS LEARNING THAT GRAND

JURY WILL HEAR FROM ANOTHER WITNESS TOMORROW AS PART OF THE INVESTIGATION INTO A HUSH MONEY PAYMENT MADE TO PRESIDENT TRUMP’S FORMER ATTORNEY, MICHAEL COHEN, TO ADULT FILM STAR STORMY DANIELS IN 2016. SO MUCH TO UNPACK HERE. FOR THOSE OF US THAT HAVEN’T

BEEN LISTING UNDER A ROCK, THE RESPONSE BY BRAGG’S OFFICE THAT THEY CONSIDER THIS A COMMITMENT TO JUSTICE AS EVERY ONE ELSE AROUND THEM BLEEDS UNDER THEIR WATCH. >> AND BRAGG SAID HE’S BY THE BOOK AND POLITICS AVERSE. THAT’S A DIFFERENT UNIVERSE AS

WELL, THIS IS SOMEONE THAT DOES NOT APPLY THE LAW THE WAY YOU JUST DESCRIBED OR THE WAY THAT STATEMENT DESCRIBES. EVERYBODY UNDERSTANDS THAT. I WAS THINKING ABOUT THIS. THERE’S A WHOLE ARRAY OF LEGAL TROUBLE FOR FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP AND THERE’S VARYING DEGREES OF SERIOUSNESS ONLY

SOLVE OF THESE POTENTIAL CHARGES COMING DOWN THE PIKE IN NEW YORK, GEORGIA, THE FEDERAL INVESTIGATIONS. IF THIS COMES FIRST AS AN INDICTMENT AND SEEMS LIKELY, COULD THAT HAVE FROM THE TRUMP PERSPECTIVE OF LEGITIMACY? THIS IS CLEARLY POLITICAL AND I ARGUE AN ABUSE OF OFFICE GIVEN

BRAGG’S MO. THE FIRST DOMINO TO FALL IS NOT LEGITIMATE AND COULD BE POLITICS. IN GEORGIA YOU HAD THE WEIRD FOREPERSON ON THE GRAND JURY THAT WAS OBVIOUSLY PARTISAN. IN THE FEDERAL INVESTIGATION, ONE ASPECT OF THAT IS CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS. WHERE THE CURRENT PRESIDENT HAS HIS OWN PROBLEMS.

YOU CAN ALMOST SEE HOW THE TRUMP PEOPLE WOULD RESPOND TO ANY NUMBER OF FUTURE INDICTMENTS. I THINK THEIR TASK IN TERMS OF PUSHING BACK WOULD BE MADE EASIER IF ALVIN BRAGG MOVES FIRST WITH THIS GARBAGE. >> THAT’S THE POINT THAT WE

SPOKE ABOUT YESTERDAY, IS IT AN ONION HEADLINE. THANKS FOR PUTTING TRUMP IN OFFICE, D.A. BRAGG. IT’S SO LAUGHABLE AND UNSERIOUS THAT IT’S DIFFICULT TO TAKE IT AS AGAIN THIS PURSUIT OF TRUE JUSTICE AS HE SAYS. KAYLEIGH, IN TERMS OF THE LAUGHABILITY OF THE DOMINOES AS

THEY PLAY OUT IS THE LACK OF OBJECTIVITY COMING OUT OF THAT OFFICE, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU BRING IN MARK POMERANCE IN TO PLAY HERE. HE’S ONE OF TWO INVESTIGATORS THAT RESIGNED IN PROTEST AFTER WHEN ALVIN BRAGG JOINED OFFICE OR APPOINTED IN OFFICE IN 2022.

HE RESIGNED IN PROTEST. HE SAID THERE’S NOTHING MORE TO INVESTIGATE. EVERYBODY HAS DECLINED TO PROS CUTE. AND POMERANCE WAS BROUGHT FROM A LAW FIRM, HE’S NOT A PROSECUTOR. A LAW FIRM THAT CHUCK SCHUMER’S BROTHER PRACTICES AT AND A HEAVY DONOR TO HILLARY CLINTON.

SO IN TERMS OF THE DECK BEING STACKED, IT’S NOT AN OBJECTIVE PROSECUTOR PURSUING JUSTICE TO BEGIN WITH. >> NO DOUBT. THEY CALLED THIS CASE A ZOMBIE CASE IN THE DA’S OFFICE. WHY? AS YOU POINT OUT, SDNY DIDN’T BRING THE CASE. AND THE SEC COMMISSIONER SHED

DOUBT ON THE CASE. THE PRIOR D.A. DID NOT BRING THE CASE. POMERANCE HAD INTEREST IN IT. WHAT WOULD THE INTEREST BE OF ALVIN BRAGG TO BRING FORWARD A CASE THAT WAS NOT ON FIRM FOOT SOMETHING WHY WOULD YOU BRING A CASE THAT YOU’RE GOING TO LOSE?

I CAN’T GET IN ALVIN BRAGG’S HEAD BUT I CAN POSTULATE TWO MOTIVES. ONE IS THIS POMERANCE INDIVIDUAL, WHAT HAPPENED TO POMERANCE? WHEN HE RESIGNED IN PROTEST. I WANT TO TAKE DOWN TRUMP AND YOU WOULDN’T LET ME. AND JONATHAN TURLEY SAID THAT HE

WAS AN INSTANT SUCCESS IN THE MEDIA THAT SPENT YEARS HIGHLIGHTING CRIMINAL THEORIES THAT WERE NEVER CHARGED AGAINST TRUMP. POMERANCE FOLLOW LINKED TRUMP TO ANY CRIME. IT WAS LIKE A HEROIN HIT FOR AN AUDIENCE AND THE CAMPAIGN WORKED. HE CAVED. SO IF ALVIN BRAGG BRINGS THIS

CASE, HE’S A NATIONAL POLITICAL FIGURE. HE WANTS TO RUN FOR GOVERNOR OF NEW YORK. MAN, HE’S POSTURING HIMSELF WELL TO DO THAT IN BLUE NEW YORK. WE’RE TOLDPY “THE NEW YORK TIMES” THAT HE’S NOT INTERESTED IN POLITICAL CALCULATIONS. HE WOULD BE THE FIRST POLITICIAN

THAT IS NOT INTERESTED IN THAT. POSSIBLE MOTIVE NUMBER 2, KATHY HOCHUL GETS TIRED OF CRIME IN NEW YORK AND SAYS ALVIN BRAGG, YOU’RE OUT THE DOOR. THIS INSULATES HIM FROM BEING FIRED BY THE GOVERNOR OF NEW YORK. YOU CAN’T FIRE THE GUY THAT INDICTED TRUMP.

>> IT’S SO IRONIC. GOVERNOR HOCHUL SENT A LETTER TO THE D.A. >> WHEN LEE ZELDIN WAS RUNNING FOR GOVERNOR, A LOT OF US WERE HOPING THAT HE WOULD WIN BECAUSE HE WOULD REMOVE ALVIN BRAGG TO THE OFFICE. HE’S A DANGER TO THE CITY. HE DOESN’T CARE ABOUT CRIMINAL

JUSTICE REFORM. IT’S THE RADICAL D.A. ORTHODOXY THAT HAS INFECTED THE COUNTRY. I THINK THIS CASE, A MISDEMEANOR LIKE A CUT AND DRY MISDEMEANOR THAT HE’S UPGRADED TO A FELONY IS JUST A DISTRACTION FROM HOW HORRIBLY HE’S DOING. EVERYBODY HAS A PHONE AND A

CAMERA ON THEM AT ALL TIMES. PEOPLE ARE SAVAGELY BEATEN IN BROAD DAY LIGHTS BY MULTIPLE SUSPECTS THAT KNOW THEY’RE NOT GOING TO GET CHARGED IN BRAGG’S NEW YORK. YOU CAN TRY TO DISTRACT. I WISH HE HAD THE SAME URGENCY PROSECUTING VIOLENT CRIMES, CRIMES AGAINST ASIAN AMERICANS,

CRIMES AGAINST JEWISH PEOPLE THAT HE DOES PROSECUTING A FORMER PRESIDENT. >> THAT’S RIGHT. IT’S DIFFICULT TO STOMACH IN LIGHT OF THAT, IN LIGHT OF WHAT YOU WERE SAYING, THE FOUR ARENAS THAT THE FORMER PRESIDENT IS BEING INVESTIGATED UNDER. EACH ONE LESSENS THE VIRTUE OF

THE OTHER WHEN TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT ALL OF THESE FACTORS EVERYBODY HAS BEEN MENTIONING. >> SO IT BEGS THE QUESTION, IF YOU’RE GOING TO POSTURE A CASE AGAINST TRUMP, WHY WOULD YOU START WITH THE BIGGEST LOSER? WHY WOULD YOU START WITH A CASE

THAT TECHNICALLY ISN’T A CRIME IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK? MAYBE HUSH MONEY IS IN OTHER PLACES BUT IT’S NOT HERE. MAYBE AN NDA WOULDN’T STAND ANYWHERE ELSE, BUT IT STANDS HERE. YOU KNOW, JUST IN TERMS OF THE WITNESS — I KNOW WE SAW WHAT

ATTORNEYS WILL CALL AN IMPEACHMENT WITNESS WITH THE FORMER ATTORNEY, ROBERT COSTELLO GOING BEFORE THE GRAND JURY YESTERDAY AND SAYING MICHAEL COHEN, A KEY WITNESS IS A LIAR. HE IS THAT. HE CAN’T BE TRUSTED. HE CAN’T BE. HE’S STATING THE OBVIOUS. I DON’T KNOW IF THAT HELPED IN

THE TRUMP CASE OR NOT. SORT OF BROUGHT UP AGAIN HOW WEAK THIS CASE IS IF IT’S BASED ON A LIAR. IF ALL OF IT IS BASED ON SOMEBODY THAT IN ANY OTHER CIRCUMSTANCE MIGHT NOT TRUST THEIR EVIDENCE. SO WHY WOULD YOU START WITH THIS PARTICULAR CASE?

IS IT BECAUSE IT REALLY ISN’T THE WORST OF THEM AND THIS IS THE BEST THAT YOU GOT? YEAH, MAY PUT ALVIN BRAG — I DON’T THINK TRUMP WILL GET INDICTED. THE CASE IS TOO WEAK AND MAKES ALVIN BRAGG LOOKS LIKE HE’S GOT BAD JUDGMENT.

HE’S NOT CONCENTRATING ON CRIME. IT’S A SHINY OBJECT AWAY FROM WHERE HE’S FAILING. ALL OF THAT. LET’S PRETEND THAT IT GOES FORTH AND THE CAME GOES NOWHERE. WHERE TOES THAT LEAVE? TRUMP CAN FUND RAISE OFF OF IT. MAKE HIM EVEN BIGGER. I DON’T KNOW THAT YOU GET THE

SPECTACLE THAT YOU’RE HOPING FOR THAT IS POSITIVE AS ALVIN BRAGG. IT’S A POWDER KEG. WHAT IF KATHY HOCHUL SAYS IF THAT’S HOW YOU’RE DOING TO SPEND THE MONEY, IS SHE TOO AFRAID BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, MAYBE DEMOCRATS WILL LIKE HIM BECAUSE HE WENT AGAINST TRUMP.

I DON’T KNOW HOW STRONG THOSE TIES ARE. THEY’RE YOLK TO THE WRONG THING. CONCENTRATE ON YOUR CITIZENS. >> HE’S APOLITICAL. POLITCO AND “THE NEW YORK TIMES” SAY IT. >> IT’S AMAZING HOW THEY DON’T SEE HIM. THEY SEE SOMEONE ELSE. >> IT REMINDS ME OF THE BRIGHTEST STARS OF
