11:00 am
messy, messy saturday out there. sunday, we will see improvement. this is what we are dealing with right now. torrential rainfall over the next couple of hours along the east coast. we have purple the strip of purple between the snow and rain is ice. we are seeing that and portions of new england from vermont into new hampshire. too is seeing those spots. on the colder side, we are seeing snow falling. 1 to 2 inches per hour. great for ski lovers it will be a messy day. rainfall up to 4 inches in some spots. generally 2 to 4 already registering 3 inches in some spots. that is received at darker oranges and yellows. that is where we expect the highest rainfall. a messy, messy day. looking at the chance for severe storms. we had tornado warnings earlier. alex, talking about the southern florida keys looking at the chance first thunderstorms, including a transfer gusty winds at 60 miles per hour.
11:01 am
in moments we are talking about one employee number five is saying about the classified documents case and the criticism aimed at judge canon and whether jack smith can do something about it. a good day to all of you. we begin this hour again with breaking news and new developments in the terror attack at a moscow. the death toll has grown to at least 133 people after gunmen stormed a concert venue, started shooting, and set it on fire. today u.s. officials say no americans were believed to be killed. a branch of isis lehman responsibility but did not provide any proof yet. in an address today, president vladimir putin vowed vengeance all without providing evidence. at this hour russia says 11
11:02 am
suspects are in custody including all four gunmen. right now we have pictures of mourners gathering at the scene leaving flowers and candles for the imps. it's a heartbreaking time. we will go right now to london. i'm joined by matt probably with the latest on this. let's talk about the victims, what you know about that and the investigation into who was responsible. >> reporter: those casualty numbers and the victims have been describing horror foals -- horrifying scenes. helicopters were deployed to rescue people off the roof of the building even after one third of it had burned. here is what one person had to say about it. >> [ speaking in a global language ] >> [ speaking in a global
11:03 am
language ] >> reporter: alex, you asked about the perpetrators. russian authorities said they have arrested 11 people, at least four of whom were directly involved in the attack. we know that isis has claimed responsibility and u.s. a to intelligence officials say they believe the claim. they were tipped off to the plans for an attack weeks ago. that has not sunk russian numbers and then including president putin himself from trying to blame ukraine, something they have denied. russian president vladimir putin said that they tried to hide and move toward ukraine and ukrainians are welcoming them. >> to that point you were
11:04 am
making, we have more on the ignored warnings and the group claiming responsibility for the attack. we have mark joining us in just a few minutes. let's go now to even more breaking news. president biden #the funding bill to keep the government open. the senate passing a $1.2 trillion spending package overnight. new challenges are waiting congress. house republicans the majority is set to shrink even more because mike gallagher is leaving congress earlier than expected. that means the house republicans majority will soon be down to just one vote. meanwhile, the judgment against former president trump is due on monday. trump now claims he has almost $500 million on hand in cash. you must post the bond for the full amount he owes or letitia
11:05 am
james could try to sees his bank accounts and properties. his former lawyer, michael cohen spoke to us. >> i'm sure he has some money and the ability to obtain. i don't think he has the ability to get a half $1 billion. he will need to look to people like some of these donors. the biden campaign is marking the 14th anniversary of the affordable care act becoming law. president biden today held a virtual a bit -- event with former president obama and nancy pelosi. >> making healthcare a right and not a privilege. i know we can do that. it matters when you have the help of your friends. >> the fate of the aca is on the ballot this year. it's not the first time we've had to fight for healthcare. >> i could not be prouder of the aca. that's why we do the work.
11:06 am
nobody knows that better than joe. that's why he made it a priority to strengthen and build on the aca. because he has, more americans are covered than from any other president including when i was in office. now we have a chance to do even more. that only happens if we send joe back to the white house in november. >> we have a number of reporters in place covering all of the day's bigger developments for us. what has been the reaction to the passing of this bill on capitol hill? has there been any fallout? >> there certainly has. congresswomen marjorie taylor greene filed a motion to vacate. there is no timeline attached to it. it is hanging over the head of speaker much johnson. what makes it more devastating is that she plans on doing something like this because of ukraine aid.
11:07 am
she already did it just because of the government funding bill and just because johnson decided to work across the aisle to keep the government open. when it comes to ukrainian aid, sources close to speaker johnson told me and the reporting just this morning that the speaker is planning to use the next two weeks, the recess, to craft all the ideas he's hearing from members into a package, his own bill. hard-liners want order security and enforcement provisions attached to any eight overseas. if it sounds familiar that's because it is. republicans had rejected a bipartisan package on the southern border. now they are demanding that these restrictions and enhancements be in place. i want you to take a listen to gregory meeks, a powerful democrat in the house. this is what he had to say earlier. >> to not pass a bill where every day, every minute, every hour counts, is tragic in my estimation. i would hope that the first thing the speaker takes up is this bill that was passed in the senate because, let the
11:08 am
house to its will. i believe if he simply puts the bill through over 300 members in a bipartisan way will pass it. >> reporter: gregory meeks is not alone in that assessment. on the other side, republican senator mitch mcconnell also feels that way. he reiterated his calls for speaker johnson to put the $95 billion package that would unlock a to ukraine, israel, gaza, and the indo pacific region on the floor as soon as he can. to not delay. i am told, however, speaker johnson is not planning on doing that. >> julie, thank you. let's go to what is shaping up to be a pivotal week for donald trump. joining me is alex tabet. let's talk about the $464 million judgment. do we know if trump will be able to and plans to pay up by monday's deadline? >> we are getting seemingly
11:09 am
conflicting information from the former president and his lawyers. the former president taking to truth social, his social media platform on friday and writing this. quote, through hard work, talent, and luck, i currently have almost $500 million in cash. he went on to say that as many he's spending on his campaign. his lawyers went on to say they are reaching out to insurance companies hoping to find somebody to underwrite the bond hoping to but they are not having any luck. there is potential other avenue for funding, his media company had a merger on friday and could potentially trade on the stock get on monday. there is a scenario where he might be able to sell some of his shares in the company to raise money to post that bond, but there is also restrictions around that sort of thing that might restrict the president from being able to do so at least for another six months. it is unclear if you will be able to use that avenue to raise funds. more generally speaking, i have
11:10 am
been talking to trump supporters on the campaign trail for months and asking them, does trumps legal troubles change the way you perceive his candidacy? does that have any factor in your mind when you are going to the ballot box. take a listen to what one voter told me in arizona this past week. >> it is all made up. i have not one doubt myself personally and i know there are millions like me. very loyal because we see the politics. you know, i don't care that he does not speak pretty. i care for this country and i think the country is having a problem if we keep going this direction. >> for voters like aaron bush, the chilean american living in arizona that is gung about president trump, nothing that happens in the courtroom will change his political calculus. he tells me he is voting for
11:11 am
former president trump no matter what. furthermore, independent and undecided voters, the question is, will these legal woes play any factor in their decision come november? we will have to wait seven months to find out. >> a lot of people feel the same way. thank you so much for that. the ignored warnings about the deadly situation in russia. we are back in 60 seconds. seco. ! starting with the sound system... that's caaaaaaaaash. cashback like a pro with chase freedom unlimited. how do you cashback? you always got your mind on the green. not you. you! your business bank account with quickbooks money now earns 5% apy.

11:12 am
the best moments deserve the best eggs. especially when they're eggland's best. taste so deliciously fresh. with better nutrition, too. we love our eggs any style. as long as they're the best. eggland's best. we have breaking news and new insight into the terror attack outside of moscow. joining me now is former cia officer and security intelligence analyst, marc, what a terrible thing we have to discuss. we are talking about a branch of the islamic state called isis k that claimed responsibility but they have yet to offer any proof. let me ask you who is isis k, what are their goals and why would they carry out a terror
11:13 am
attack of this magnitude in russia? >> isis k, and we can make a comparison with college basketball they are the one seed in terror groups. in congressional testimony several weeks ago we were told that was the biggest concern of terror attacks outside of afghanistan. he said he was worried about isis k attacks in europe. it's an offshoot of traditional isis that we remember from syria and iraq. they have a base in afghanistan with several thousand fighters and they are committed to not only attacking u.s. interests but also russian interests as well. russia has a long history of oppression and russia has fought isis in syria and iraq russia is in there crosshairs and it certainly appears this is the work of isis k. >> u.s. officials told nbc news that they were gathering intelligence for months that
11:14 am
isis or isis k was planning a mass casualty attack in russia. both the u.s. embassy and moscow were alerted about the threat. just a few days ago vladimir putin dismissed the warnings as being provocative statements. first of all, is it customary for u.s. intelligence agencies to warn russia about possible terrorist threats? what does it say about russia's security services that despite these warnings this attack was pulled off inside their homeland? >> great questions. i think a lot of americans would be surprised. when we do uncover information about possible terrorist attacks particularly against civilian targets we have what is called a duty to warn. even with our adversaries we would pass them this information. we would obviously protect sources and methods. we would make sure that that is protected but we will pass the information with as much granularity and detail as we can. on march 7 you saw a public announcement from the u.s. embassy in moscow that we pass
11:15 am
this to russian security services. you can lead a horse to water but you can't make them drinks. so have a action that we don't know but the fact is we pass them the information and tragically russian security services did not follow-up or could not find the perpetrators. you raise a good point. they are not 10 feet tall. they were totally incompetent, loaded, corrupt about the invasion of ukraine. we have seen now once again that they are not able to protect the russian people. they are good at cracking down on dissent but not in terms of their basic function which is the security of russians. >> in his first remarks on the attack, putin tried to blame the incident on ukraine alleging without any evidence that somebody in ukraine try to help the attackers escape across the border. so these countries are obviously at war over the attempted takeover but what could be his mother for falsely blaming ukraine for the attack?
11:16 am
>> we heard today vladimir putin mention ukraine. he is claiming that the terrorists were trying to get across the border into ukraine. there is no evidence for this. you also see on russian tv networks over the last hour or two, even some deep fakes that have been generated which seem to implicate ukrainian security officials. of course, this is nonsense. this is to deflect the incompetence of russian security services. there are some things that i think putin can take advantage of with this unfortunately. an additional crackdown on dissent and also the possibility of mobilization. almost 400,000 casualties from the war in ukraine. that is russian soldiers killed and injured. they need mobilization. perhaps in the days ahead we would see vladimir putin calling for more people to be called up. he will try to take advantage of it. we certainly know it is nonsense. isis k has taken responsibility but they will try to pin some
11:17 am
of this on ukraine. >> so this attack took place at one of the biggest entertainment complexes just before a rock concert was about to start. what does that indicate to you that isis chose this kind of large public location as opposed to a state or military site. >> it is called a soft target. that means there will be a lack of security personnel and people will have their guard down. incredibly we provided the warning on march 7. we actually mentioned concert halls but when you hear about eyewitnesses from the attack there was no security. there was absolutely no people searching bags or anything to suggest that there were enhanced measures. isis will look for what is called a soft target where they will get away with it. amazingly enough, russian security forces did not respond within an hour to the attack. ultimately a successful mass casualty event was certainly
11:18 am
preplanned and cased in advance. again, vladimir putin and the russian security services have a lot of egg on their face. >> thank you. joining me now is democratic congressman from new jersey and he can -- andy kim. first of all, thank you for joining us. have you received a briefing on this? >> first of all, thank you for having me. i have not received a briefing specific to this incident but this is something that i have been tracking for a long time. i've worked for 10 years at the white house national security council focused on countering isis. in 2019 i went to afghanistan when i was a member of congress in particular about issues related to isis. we certainly see the rising
11:19 am
concern and threat. also what we see from here is just the scope of their ambition and capacity to actually follow through. that is something that is very alarming, something that is much more concrete than we have seen in years past. >> okay. let's move to another topic because the last hour president writing signed the $1.2 trillion government funding agreement averting a government shutdown. how many concessions did democrats make to get this past and what are some of the highlights for you? >> what i will say is we needed to get this done. it was an embarrassment in front of the entire nation, frankly the entire world that we have been kicking the can down the road for months. government cannot actually govern if we can't keep the government open. that is the basic function. so we have to do what we need to deal. we are adults. we have to come together and recognize that we will all get
11:20 am
100% of what we want to but i felt like this was something i could support and. to show the american people that we can move forward. the question is, will we be able to get anything else done in this congress and right now with speaker johnson and the chaos in their caucus i'm not sure what the answer is. >> let's pick up on that because republicans are revolting after the passage of the bill. congressman marjorie taylor greene filing a motion to vacate the speaker. here she is yesterday. >> it is more of a warning than a pink slip. i don't wish to inflict pain on our conference and throw the house in chaos. it is time to go through the process, take our time and find a new speaker that will stand with republicans and the republican majority instead of standing with the democrats. this bill was passed without a majority of republicans. it is a democrat budget and it was passed by mike johnson. >> do democrats need to help them survive? is that to their advantage to
11:21 am
do? how could he manage this? >> one thing that is clear is that republicans have a caucus full of people like marjorie taylor greene that are more interested in being social influencers rather than lawmakers. they don't understand the business they are trying to get done. when you see somebody like mike gallagher, someone i've had disagreements with buddies somebody with substance and engaged with policy. if he cannot withstand that to stay in the congress is now vacating that and making more like marjorie taylor greene and others to run that caucus it is more concerning to me than ever. if speaker johnson wants to come to us and talk through how we are able to put together a bipartisan agenda for the remainder of this congress i am prepared to have that conversation. others are as well but there's a lot that we are very skeptical of given how he has handled the supplemental and ukraine aid. he has not been a speaker that has demonstrated to us a
11:22 am
willingness to put what is best for the country ahead what is best for him and the most extreme elements of his party. you will have to make some big changes if he thinks he will be able to get support from the democrats. >> i want to point to our viewers that you are running for senate seat that is currently held by bob menendez who's been indicted on federal bribery charges. he says he will not be running for reelection as a democrat but hopes to run as independent if exonerated. what you make of this announcement? >> i think this is a perfect example why people are so frustrated and lack such trust in government right now. it looks like political figures and politicians are constantly putting their own personal benefit and gain ahead of what is right for the country. we were just talking about that with marjorie taylor greene and others. right now people in new jersey want integrity and a new generation of leadership to step up. right now, i'm getting a lot of support across the state from
11:23 am
people who are tired of the same broken politics. so whether, wherever he is on the ballot whether he is there on the ballot in november or not, i will beat him and win this seat and do my best to try to represent the people of new jersey and away they have not been represented before. >> thank you so much for your time. the criticism aimed at judge cannon and what jack smith can do about it, ahead. despite treatment, it's still not under control. but now i have rinvoq. rinvoq is a once-daily pill that reduces the itch and helps clear the rash of eczema—fast. some rinvoq patients felt significant itch relief as early as 2 days. some achieved dramatic skin clearance as early as 2 weeks. and many taking rinvoq saw clear or almost-clear skin. rinvoq can lower your ability to fight infections, including tb. serious infections and blood clots, some fatal, cancers, including lymphoma and skin;

11:28 am
finishing the effort in the wee hours of the morning kicking the soft to president biden to sign into law. the president this afternoon did just that. he also released a statement where he said this is good news for the american people. he added in part, quote, i want to be clear. congress's work is not finished. the house must pass the national security supplemental to advance the national security interest referring to the $95 billion military aid package for ukraine, taiwan, and israel that has been stalled in congress after it passed with bipartisan support in the senate but stalled in the house after speaker mike johnson did not take it up on the house floor for a vote. that delay which we now know could be up until mid april because these lawmakers have left on it two week recess. that is putting much more attention on the israel side of this. some democratic lawmakers are warning the president that they are not going to support further
11:29 am
military aid to israel unless it changes course in gaza. that is something we have seen u.s. officials try to pressure there is really counterparts to do. the next effort that we will see on that note is going to take place next week when we know an israeli delegation is coming to the white house to discuss what u.s. officials say are their options. admiral john kirby have more to say about this yesterday. >> we will share with them some alternatives about how they can eliminate the threat of hamas in gaza, particularly in the rafah area without a major ground offensive. we still believe a major ground offensive is a mistake. >> reporter: all of this happening against the backdrop of multiple us-led efforts to get a cease-fire deal between israel and hamas. we saw the us-led resolution before the united nations
11:30 am
yesterday fail because of a veto vote from china and russia. we know that the secretary of state as well as the cia director has been in the middle east for days trying to speak and put pressure on these key negotiators. the president certainly hopeful but cautiously optimistic. >> thank you so much. i know we have been talking a lot about donald trump office looming money deadline but there's another story we will talk about next. what employee number five is saying about them documents case . . when my doctor gave me breztri for my copd, things changed for me. breztri gave me better breathing, symptom improvement, and reduced flare—ups. breztri won't replace a rescue inhaler for sudden breathing problems. it is not for asthma. tell your doctor if you have a heart condition

11:35 am
a former mar-a-lago employee is speaking out about what you shared with prosecutors investigating donald trump offices alleged unlawful retention and concealment of classified documents. he is referred to in the indictment as employee number five. here is what he told about the notion that the classified documents case was part of the justice department which runs. >> why would you need to ask questions about video footage? why would you possibly move the documents when they are coming to retrieve them? to me it just does not make any sense. on top of that, why would you put two lower-level employees in the position they are in if you did nothing wrong and these
11:36 am
are your personal documents? >> joining me now is kristi greenberg former federal prosecutor and former deputy head of the criminal division in the southern district of new york. welcome. what do you think the significances of him coming forward to tell his story and how damaging can this be for trump? >> so he has already spoken to jack smith. his information is incorporated in the indictment. it's not in the indictment he shared with prosecutors and he's a significant is. is someone that had worked out mar-a-lago for over 20 years . he have loyalty to trump and various codefendants as well. he is not somebody that has an ax to grind. he doesn't really want to give up information on his friends but he is doing it because it does not have a trump paid attorney. he has an attorney that is a former u.s. attorney for the southern district of florida.
11:37 am
he declined the offer to pay for an attorney for him. with that, the attorney will actually give him advice in his own best interest. one thing that he said in his interviews that i thought was interesting is he talked about the fact that as a valet he had australian billing your anthony pratt in the backseat of his car repeating to his chief of staff secrets about russian submarines that trump had told him. pratt being a frequent flyer at mar-a-lago. the case is not just about classified documents and donald trump keeping them when he was not supposed to. it's about what he is doing with that information. we know butler is a foreign citizen and was paying for access. donald trump cannot be trusted with the nation's secrets. he's a national security threat and should not be given intelligence briefings given
11:38 am
the information we are hearing about how he is sharing classified information. >> just to clarify you said butler was a foreign citizen. he is not. you are referring to the australian billionaire. let's move on to judge cannon who is drying even more criticism this week following her order with jury does -- instructions that could lead to an acquittal. how unusual are these orders and has she put jack smith between a rock and a hard place? >> her instructions are incredibly unusual. she's giving jury instructions without a trial date really putting the cart before the horse. you generally deal with pretrial motions first and jury instructions were later. her instructions are based on this faulty premise that donald trump's designation of records under the presidential records act matters. it doesn't. he is charged with violating the espionage act. the espionage act replies -- applies regardless whether the
11:39 am
records he had were categorized as personal or presidential. even if he had designated these as personal records, he is still not authorized. nothing in the presidential records act authorizes a former president to possess classified information. you have this terrible proposed jury instruction to completely confuse the jury. you have her ruling to unseal the identities of witnesses. that's another terrible one. you have her refusal to dismiss outright a challenge that the espionage act is fake which it isn't. donald trump was told repeatedly he could not keep classified documents. you have three strikes in the last two months. jack smith really needs to file a motion for mandamus which is an extraordinary remedy but shows, her brilliance, the things she is doing are wrong. he needs to file a motion for
11:40 am
recusal. at this point it has gotten that bad. >> meaning he wants her up the case. >> i think at this point, i was not there in the beginning. i was very much willing to give her the benefit of the doubt even after she was overturned by the 11th circuit. even when she was taking her time i thought maybe she's trying to get it right that she is getting it so wrong and getting it wrong repeatedly and donald trump's favor. when that pattern continues to happen, i do think we are at the stage when jack smith should be making a motion for recusal and going to the 11th circuit. >> donald trump is counting down to monday when his new york civil fraud judgment comes due. he's been on the attack declaring that he has $500 million in cash. what what is legal team be doing today and tomorrow to help them make the deadline to appeal the judgment by monday?
11:41 am
>> a lot of it depends. if he actually has the money, his lawyers are working on making sure that cash is posted and that it gets to the clerk and that he is going through the motions, the logistics of getting the judgment paid. if he does not have the cash as he says he does and i suspect he doesn't because in his briefing he says he doesn't. if he does not have that kind of liquid assets the question is, is he looking to obtain a bond. letitia james and her briefing goes through a number of different options of ways that he can get the bond. he could be slitting up the full amount among different sureties. he could be using a letter of credit to obtain a bond. he could be consenting to have his real estate interests held by the supreme court which would satisfy the judgment. he could pledge his security
11:42 am
real estate holdings to secure the entire judgment. he has options. the question is whether he will avail himself with any of them. remember, he can still appeal regardless of whether he puts up the money. this is just meaning he puts up the money to stay the amount of the damages. >> thank you very much. after we picked up our jaws off the ground, we all thought that will wind up in a political ad and it just did. we will show it to you next. n. marlo thomas: my father founded saint jude children's research
11:43 am
hospital because he believed no child should die in the dawn of life. in 1984, a patient named stacy arrived, and it began her family's touching story that is still going on today. vicki: childhood cancer, it's just hard. stacey passed on christmas day of 1986. there is no pain like losing a child, but saint jude gave us more years to love on her each day. marlo thomas: you can join the battle to save lives. for just $19 a month, you'll help us continue the lifesaving research and treatment these kids need now and in the future. jessica: i remember as a child, walking the halls of saint jude, and watching my sister fight for her life. we never imagined that we would come back. and then my son charlie was diagnosed with ewing's sarcoma. vicki: i'm thinking, we already had a catastrophic disease in our family.
11:44 am
not my grandson too. marlo thomas: st. jude has helped push the overall childhood cancer survival rate from 20% when it opened to 80% today. join with your credit or debit card for only $19 a month, and we'll send you this saint jude t-shirt that you can proudly wear to show your support. jessica: for anybody that would give, the money is going towards research, and you are the reason my child is here today. charlie: i was declared-- this will be two years cancer free. but there's thousands and thousands of kids who need help. saint jude, how many lives they do save is just so many. marlo thomas: charlie's progress warms my heart, but memories of little angels like stacy are why we need your help. please become a saint jude partner in hope right now.

credentials. should they be celebrating him as an opponent in november? >> i don't think democrats should be celebrating anyone on the trump side. i do think what democrats have done here, on another note i personally agree because it is a gamble to put money behind extremists because if they win we have to deal with them in the senate. the reality is we can use this to paint the extreme picture of who he would be with the rhetoric and the conspiracy theories that he is. i think it will help senator brown. the other thing we are not talking about, is talk about how much from the ohio people that are done. we have to play the offense just as much as the defense and hopefully that will be helpful
11:50 am
when we talk about how extreme his opponent maybe. all of the republican party is extreme. they all align with donald trump or they lose. when they align with donald trump they lose. they have to align with him to get through to the nomination but then that does not help them in the long run. >> navalny, to this point in 2022 they spent $15 million promoting these candidates but do they risk doing that and undercutting the message with all this publicity. to this point that backfire and help maga candidates get elected. >> they ran a slate of rabid maga trappers. who could forget the carpet backing up. -- dr. oz or the creepy

campaign ads for blake masters. these were all trump sanctioned candidates that trump endorsed but the american people decisively rejected. republicans again and again. the most maga of primary candidates and they get blown out of the water come general election time. let's talk about abortion. all of these candidates favor an abortion ban. women are not just going to sit idly by and watch our white -- rights be eviscerated. we will make them pay at the ballot box. all of these candidates will come out. they demonize women and they demonize doctors. healthcare is a fundamental right that women are not just going to easily relinquish. republicans will see the consequences of that. >> the biden campaign released a new ad tackling this age-old question are you better off than you were four years ago. here it is.
11:52 am
>> and i see the disinfectant. is there a way we can do something like that by injection ? >> on a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate your response to this crisis? >> i would rated attend. i think we've done a great job. >> new filings this week show the president's campaign with the nearly 40 million advantage . is the biden campaign message starting to sink in and actually reach people now? >> i do think the biden administration and the campaign are starting to do a better job of explaining to the american people not only where we were four years ago and also during the years under the trump administration but how president biden's policies are actually unpacking them day to day. the president and his team understand that it takes a little bit for people to feel
11:53 am
policy in their pocket. now they are trying to have the conversation directly with the american people, spending $1 million shows you that even though the polls may pay one story early in the cycle, $71 million can be a lot of money for any presidential candidate, especially an incumbent. this allows for the biden campaign to have a tremendous ground game early on. i know we have been talking about this election, but the american people really start to pay attention. this money, this warchest will allow for the biden campaign to make sure they have that ground game. donald trump, not only is he struggling to bring in money he has to use a lot of this money for his legal fees. barely any of it to campaign with. >> there we go. thank you so much. we look forward to seeing you both again. a desperate situation gets worse in the poorest country in the world.
