CUOMO: AT&T calling its first witness to the stand as it tries to argue against the Justice Department's case to stop its acquisition of Time Warner -- of course, the parent of CNN. CNN's Hadas Gold is live in Washington with more. What do we expect?</s>HADAS GOLD, CNN CORRESPONDENT: So Chris, the last two days have really been pivotal in this case. What we had were really two dueling economists -- one from the government's side, one from AT&T's side. These are both expert economists from top two universities, both of whom actually have worked in the government. Ironically, the administration's expert economist worked under Obama and AT&T's expert economist worked under Bush. And they came to this from two different sides. The government's economist said that he created a model that showed that AT&T owning Time Warner and all of their content, like CNN and HBO, would cause consumer prices to go up -- would be anti- competitive. AT&T's economist said that's not the case. He claimed that the government's economist was using a model that was just theoretical. That he wasn't using real-world data. He wasn't using actual information like long-term contracts or the fact that the industry is completely changing. The fact that we can get T.V. shows on Netflix and things like that. And so, these two days were so pivotal because it's the information that's being presented to the judge -- the only person who will get to decide this case. He has to take all that information in and make his decision, along with all these other witnesses. These two economists are the ones providing the real data here that the judge has to use.</s>CUOMO: All right, Hadas. Thank you very much. And, of course, you don't have to put on a defense but in a case like this that's so sophisticated you'll see a case from both sides. Fired FBI director Jim Comey speaking out for the first time. Could he be in legal jeopardy for talking about these sensitive subjects? That's next.
