WHITFIELD: Harvey Weinstein's legal team calls its first witnesses in the disgraced Hollywood mogul's sexual assault trial. CNN's Jean Casarez has more on the defense's case.</s>JEAN CASAREZ, CNN CORRESPONDENT: This week the prosecution rested there with 28 witnesses and six accusers all alleging that Harvey Weinstein sexual assaulted them. Now, the charges that will go to the jury including rape in the first degree are only for two of the accusers. But all of them alleged a pattern.</s>CASAREZ: They wanted to be in show business. They met Harvey Weinstein. He took them to meetings, dinners, Hollywood premieres. He befriended them. He wanted to help them. And then ultimately all in a hotel room or an apartment where they say they were sexually assaulted. The defense brought out the complexity of the relationships with the two main accusers. There were consensual relationships involved, consensual activity before and after the alleged assault. Now we are in the middle of the defense case, proceeding this next week. They've already put a memory witness on the stand and also a friend -- long time friend of Harvey Weinstein who testified he never believed and does not believe that Harvey could have done any of this. But on cross examination, sort of an excited utterance, he did say it was my understanding that for a long time Harvey was a sex addict. Jean Casarez, CNN -- New York.</s>WHITFIELD: All right. Just as Pete Buttigieg submits what he says is evidence of inconsistency in Iowa caucuses, we have new details on where the candidates stand in the next race. Live to New Hampshire in minutes.
