so in the first week, the "new york times" , new york post, new york daily news, did all cover the stonewall riots, but it was buried news, not prominent front-page news. the village voice did major stories on the stonewall riots and had reporters on the scene, even trapped inside the bar during the riots. and those were much more significant stories. but it was really the alternative press and the lgbt press that covered the riots more sympathetically, more comprehensively, and those are the stories that historians rely on, along with oral histories, police reports, and photographs for rounding out the picture of what happened that week. >> and one of those, the documentary which we are featuring on c-span3s american history tv, our guest marc stein is joining us from greenwich village, new york, and he is also the author of "the stonewall riots: a documentary history," as we talk about stonewall, a turning point for the lgbt community. tom is on the phone from flint, michigan. good morning. >> good morning to both of you gentlemen and all the viewers. this will be pretty brief. just a litt

what's going to be next, new york? are we going to offer medical records of people you don't like to the senate, to the opposing party, the house of the opposing party? this is a really bad precedent and i'm sure it's going to end up failing the way the effort in the house is going to resolve. >> shannon: there would be those who say it won't stand up to legal scrutiny. in the peace in "the new york times," they said the bill has been harshly criticized by those in york as a bill of attainder. i had to think back to law school. it's aimed at a single person or group and you and many others have said that the president's name is not in the bill but you've made clear what the bill is about. do you worry about the legal challenges to it? >> i actually don't worry about the legal challenges. it's not a bill of attainder, as you pointed out. those who say so are barking up the wrong tree, in addition to it not applying to one individual, and applies to all politicians in the state of new york. it also doesn't have a punishm

attorney for the southern district of new york. so, preet, what does this mean for the president's quest to include a citizenship question on the census? >> well, it doesn't help that effort. we all sat around the television and the newspapers last week under the impression that that fight was over because the supreme court made a ruling saying that you can't add a citizenship question on the basis of a pretext. and now you have a series of lawyers who decided for whatever reason that they don't want to be on the case anymore and that's what people have suspected about this. and judge fuhrman, who is a very good judge, i know him, he's a smart guy and he doesn't take any nonsense. he's not going to let the case proceed unless he understands under oath the reasons why these lawyers have decided to remove themselves from the case or if they were removed by other folks. so it slows things down. it also, i think, sends a signal to other lawyers in the department who are career officials who care about their reputations that they can't

to talk about a sex offender from new york. specifically, he was defending his role in an extraordinarily lenient plea deal with jeffrey epstein that he agreed to when he was u.s. attorney for the southern district of florida over a decade ago. epstein, you'll recall, was given immunity from federal prosecution. he had to serve 13 months in county jail while being allowed out for 12 hours a day six days a week. epstein is now facing new charges of sex trafficking brought by the feds here in new york. his arrest on his private jet saturday night has refocused attention on acosta and now threatens his job in the cabinet. a source tells nbc news that acosta's public defense of the florida deal today came at the president's request. >> in 2006 a grand jury convened by the state attorney, the district attorney of palm beach county, reviewed the evidence and recommended a single charge. and that charge would have resulted in no jail time at all. no registration as a sexual offender. and no restitution to the victims. without the work

of new york, is on this case. how do you interpret that? >> i don't know. i have to leave it to preet. i have great respect for him. i remember when he was a staffer to then senator schumer. a very sharp fellow. i don't know about the corruption side of it. where it might delve. it would be pure speculation. >> because he's suggesting that perhaps there were some public figures who may emerge. no evidence of that but a lot of experts who know something about the southern district in northern are suggesting that. do you want more details on the nature of president trump's relationship with epstein? and bill clinton's relationship with epstein, for that matter. >> well, i don't know that that has been associated with any of the charges in florida or now in new york. his association with either of those presidents. so i wouldn't necessarily say that is relevant evidence at that point. we're talking about the human scale of this. there is plenty of evidence to lead to this indictment. >> let's turn to the upcoming tes
