HARLOW: All right, new this morning, the rapper, A$AP Rocky and two associates have been found guilty of assault by a Swedish court. Now, this all stems from a street fight in Stockholm on June 30th. Despite the conviction, it does not look like he will face any additional jail time. Of course the president talked a lot about this, called the prime minister of Sweden about it. Hadas Gold is following all the developments for us this morning. Walk us through this and also what it means for him.</s>HADAS GOLD, CNN REPORTER: Yes, Poppy, this all stems from that fight that you mentioned on June 30th in Stockholm. And A$AP Rocky and, as you said, two associates were found guilty of assault. However, they won't be spending any time in jail. But don't forget, A$AP Rocky actually already spent a few weeks in jail before the trial took place. He will have to also pay damages and some legal expenses to the victim and to the lawyers that equals about $20,000. The court found that he was not acting in self-defense as he and his associates alleged. He will also be serving on a sort of probation for two years in Sweden. As you noted, this case, which would have been otherwise maybe just been another case of a celebrity abroad getting into potentially some trouble, even caused some diplomatic problems between Sweden and the United States because, as you noted, President Trump got involved, was tweeting at the prime minister of Sweden after Kanye West called him, asking him to get involved. But Swedish officials said over and over again that their judicial system is independent of any sort of political influence. Now, A$AP Rocky's lawyers said that he is very disappointed in the ruling, but they don't know if they're going to appeal the verdict yet. And so far, Poppy, we have not heard from President Trump.</s>HARLOW: OK, Hadas, thank you very, very much for that reporting. We'll see if the president weighs in. Right now new signs that expanded background checks on guns and gun owners could be gaining some traction in Washington as White House and congressional staffers are meeting behind the scenes, even when Congress is not in session. Should we expect anything to change? That's next.
