good evening and welcome t

politicsnation tonight's lead, and territory. right now, america is bracin for what could be historically unprecedented event. the possible crimina indictment of a former president. earlier today, former presiden donald trump put out a serie post on his truth social media platform, referencing report that he could soon fac criminal indictment in new yor as early as next week. trump claims that leak indicate he will be arrested o tuesday. but he did not say whether h has actually been informed o any charges or what thos

charges would be a spokesman for the manhatta da's office has declined t comment. trump also called for protest, and d.c. news reported frida line forsman agencies includin the nypd, fbi and the secret service. they are already this costin security plans, should charges come down. we will be talking about all o it ahead with our guest, including former trump attorney, michael cohen who testifie before the grand jury this ver week and later, the attorney genera of black america joins us with an update on the case of tyr nichols who died at the hand of police and memphis, tennessee earlier this year. but first, we are joined b democratic senator richard blumenthal of connecticut. senator, thank you for joining us >> thank you for having me reverend al. >> now i want to get your take on the possible charges agains

trump but, first i must ask yo to address his calls quote, to protest and take your countr back in the quote. that former president didn't bother to specify whether th protests should be violent o non violent, which tea stunningly irresponsible after being impeached just two years ago in part for rallying up th crowd ahead of the january six insurrection you are thought senator? >> your point is exactly, righ reverend it is very reminiscent of hi call on people to come t washington b, there will be wild. now he is saying protests, tak our nation back. it is apparently and excitemen of his base but also, an incitement of violence potentially. and i call on my republica colleagues to condemn it so far, they have in fact done

the opposite they have condoned and eve encouraged him in this apparen incitement of violence all of us should be saying resoundingly, loud, lay swiftly, violence has no plac incitement of violence shoul be condemned and unfortunately that is not what we are seeing from most republicans righ now. >> and to tell them to tak america back, i mean isn't america supposed to be where i you break the law, you are hel accountable? i mean what america is h talking about? let's get to the possibl charges against the former president. we don't know for sure wha they will be or even if they will be filed. what do you know what do you, do let me put i this way what do you do and what do - is trump being investigated, he's being investigated fo hush money payments, it made the stormy daniels trump has called the pro-, politically motivated.

something manhattan da alvin bragg tonight on this very program last saturday night, one week ago for americans who aren't following every detail, can yo explain why the allege offenses here are worthy of criminal investigation >> the way he is alleged t have done is not only pay this hush money to stormy daniels after an affair with her channeling through cohn, his then lawyer. and disguising it as legal fee and then misrepresenting it on the books of his company that is formerly the kind of charge that could be brought of course reverend al, as yo point out in the opening, ther are as many questions if not more as there are answers yet. we don't know what the charges or the timing will be. the question should be asked why is trump now predicting it will be on tuesday there is no factual basis for. it when i think you should trying to excite his base an

potentially incite violenc which will distract from the charges. and undermine the credibilit of the criminal justice system i don't believe that alvin bragg is a politically motivated prosecutor that is what kevin mccarthy is saying and he is in effect aiding and abetting the trum incitement, if that proves t be what it is by these kinds o comments as are some of hi republican colleagues. >> now i want to shift to th economy but i want to be sur that i am clear. you are saying that if thi proves not to be the case on tuesday, that you feel like th president, the former presiden maybe just inciting people and possibly violence and then irresponsible way to say something that has no factua basis? >> well only trump knows for sure perhaps he does not know for sure himself, given th unpredictable of his mind.

but the important point is, no one is above the law and the facts and the evidence are the basis for any criminal charges just like they would be in any other criminal case. i am a former united state attorney in connecticut as wel as the state attorney genera of 20 years. and where the criminal justice process works is follow th facts and the law. unfortunately, a lot o republicans are really tryin to undermine the people wh enforce our laws whether it's the fbi or th dea. they see more interested i undermining the credibility of the criminal justice system an they are playing into trump' hands, protecting without an factual basis that the charges will be on tuesday and yes, yo have it exactly right. i think that purpose can onl be to try and incite violenc at this point. >> senator, i want to shif focus to some turmoil we are seeing in the economy. after the collapse of silico valley bank earlier this month the biden administration has been working with some of wall

street's larger banks to potentially prop up othe troubled institutions. meantime, republicans have gon from claiming that crisis wa caused by bankers distracted b diversity to claiming silico valley bank was quote too woke to fail. is this kind of rhetoric makin a difficult situation even harder to manage >> this kind of rhetoric about too woke to fail or whatever the exact terminology, absolutely absurd. no serious economist, no serious expert on the financia system would take it seriously but we do have a serious situation with our economy and i proposed legislation that in fact would return to taxpayers the bonuses and the othe proceeds of any kind of to executive that's happened with

the svb bank, and signatur bank that we're in a fact they reward them themselves for mismanagement. we need to restore - trust in the system but more broadly, strengthen th regional and community banks because of the flight of capital from them to the bigger, banks the consolidation, mergers that have taken place. they have really concentrate power and fewer hands in the banking system there are serious issues her that need to be confronted and i believe our economy is basically strong i think the administration was right to stop in forcefully an swiftly as it did. but issues remain and we nee to continue to address them. >> before i let you go senator the international criminal court yesterday issued a arrest warrant for russian president, vladimir putin. days before the russian leader is due to host chinese president, xi and moscow the i see c is accusing puti

of committing war crimes durin his invasion of ukraine. what are your thoughts on th charges and on the upcomin meeting between the russians and chinese, briefly please? >> reverend, al i visite ukraine three times over the past year. i have been to the mass graves in bucha where women and children had their hands tie behind their backs, hundreds o them the moral conscious of the world should be aroused, mos especially about these charges which are the abduction an kidnapping of children ukrainian children 16,000 of them it makes vladimir putin exactl what he is and the world's eyes, a pariah and let me say this very emphatically. the administration now has a obligation to designate russia a state sponsor of terrorism i introduced a resolution, it' bipartisan with my colleague lindsey graham, passed unanimously in the unite states senate.

unanimously calling on the administration to designat russia, a state sponsor of terrorism. if he has committed crimes against humanity as this indictment or a restaurant clearly indicates, we should designate russia a state sponsor of terrorism and the wagner group should be designated a foreign terrorist organization >> senator richard blumenthal, thank you for joining me joining me now is donald trump's former persona attorney, michael cohen. he is the author of revenge, how donald trump weaponized th u.s. department of justice against his critics. michael, thank you for joining us >> always rev. >> i want to start with th former presidents post thi morning. his claim that he will b arrested on tuesday, his cal for a protest. you worked closely with trum for many years, as close a anyone and i knew you then and i know how close you were. what do you think is going o with him right now

>> i think senator blumentha was exactly correct. only donald trump knows but th problem is not even donald trump doesn't know around the trump organization, there was this statement tha we used to all say, not th last person in donald's ea controls his brain so the chances are that one of the wackos that are around him and we will call him the clown prince of gotham, they are sitting there and they are telling him donald, you ar going to go in on tuesday. now it doesn't make any sens because the grand cherry, believe it's monday, wednesday and thursday putting all of that aside, unless and i really trul thought that donald knew the answer to this that they obviously spok because donald is no proactive. he is a reactionary individual so who knows the right thing to do is t leave it for alvin greg. when the indictment comes down we will all know look at the chaos not one twee

from donald trump has caused >> what she likes, chaos and nothing else >> captain chaos >> you say the grand jury meet usually monday, wednesday an thursday which means he would b arrested next tuesday, the would've had to vote and indictment on thursday because you were there testifying on wednesday. >> correct >> you testified before th grand jury in this case an this weekend and you spent ove a year in prison and another year in home confinement for your role in the hush mone payment to stormy daniels. that is at the center of the probe. i know you can't talk abou your testimony or speculate on the charges by can you share your impressions of th seriousness of the investigation? >> while it was serious enough to send me away. it was only one set of laws in this country what affects, review and i needs to affect somebody lik donald as well no one is above the law. so if it was good enough for m

to go, it should be good enoug for him. a lot of people that was with friend of mine for lunch super bright guy, well educated his comment to me was very similar to what the question that you are asking. how is that this tiktok type o a case is going to be the firs impression that we have as americans for a president to b indicted first time in u.s. history again the answer is, the law i the law. the same way under the capone, the elk upon theory. they couldn't get him fo murder, racketeering extortion. they couldn't get him fo plugging or any of the other crimes they got him for this because, rest assured, alvin bragg is not making a mistake that team that is behind him that team that is putting this case together, they are very competent. they know all of the facts now they could attack me, talk about credibility which is something that you see on a lo of the other stations. that's okay. very much like when i went and testified before the house

oversight committee, i com with the facts i come with the documentar evidence it's irrefutable >> but what confuses me is you went to jail for what you ar saying donald trump did. you did a year in jail, here o home confinement i know because i know you. you called me before you wen to jail, i talk to you and while you were in jail a lot of anguish so if i didn't happen, then why did yo plead and go to jail >> right first of, all my case also somewhat different in the fact that the southern distric of new york on a friday at 5:3 pm, basically said to me tha emphatically, you have until monday, 48 hours over a weeken when you can accomplis anything either you plead guilty to whatever we tell you to plea guilty to or we file an 80-pag indictment that what include m wife and so, the strong hold of the law. but truth be told, that is the one case that i take

responsibility for it is the stormy daniels payment as well as the thousand and on violation which was lying to congress, despite the fact tha nobody ever finishes that line and says that i also did at th direction of in connection wit and for the benefit of donald trump. >> he is connected to all that you plaid to >> he is connected t everything >> now president trump's attorney came on this networ earlier this week and had this to say about this investigatio and you. take a listen. >> it is funny that we have no reduced ourselves to the point of relying solely on michael cohen, a guy who's a convicted liar to bring a case against president trump when they have nothing else they scoured for three years >> what is your reaction >> first of all he does anothe case and maybe any lawyer that is out, there he had this particularly bad i mean i guarantee you lik that rudy giuliani, what was it?

the four seasons landscaping debacle with the shoe polish down his face. he got sidelined that i'm sure joe tacopina is going to b sidelined as well because he went out there and he made a fool of himself. worse than that, he actually implicated his own client. so yes, it's okay. he lied, it doesn't make a difference no, it actually does make difference he doesn't know the facts an the fact that he continues t promote the donald trump line, which is that donald trump moniker that he gave to me convict a liar, he still doe not even know. tacopina is just dumb. he doesn't know what the lie was. you and i have talked about it over breakfast when i asked yo to pray for me the number of times that i spoke to donald about th filled real estate project i moscow, the trump moscow project. as donald star trek, shun in connection with him, ivanka, jared, abby lowe, ty cobb and whole slew of other people,

was told to say three. the real truth is that the answer was ten i spoke to donald about it ten times. that is the big lie. and if joe tacopina, tha unions that he is things tha that is going to keep me fro being the witness that alvin bragg believes me to be, wit all the documentary evidence he needs a refresher course an law. >> finally michael, you worked with president trump for man years. you know him personally and yo have seen him, you have seen what he feels pressured or threaten how do you expect him to respond if indeed charges ar filed whenever if an arrest is made and a criminal proceeding takes place, how do you think he will respond? >> obviously not well. that is why he is calling for protest. what he is doing is he i trying to threaten alvin bragg he is trying to threaten the american judicial system tha not just alvin bragg but fan

willis in georgia. washington, and a court that things that they are going t bring donald trump in, i a going to call for a protest. this is who he is. this is an autocratic wannabe. this is a guy who does not wan to be president of the unite states he wants to be our monarch, ou rule, the fewer. that is who he is. >> so you think whether or not there is really going to be an arrest on tuesday or not tha his idea is to in some way try and intimidate the prosecutors he is not even saying, many of us a protest, i do but w careful to say nonviolen protest. he has left the wide open in the light of january six you would think he would b more careful >> but he is not careful and not only does he want there to be another violent protest, he is also looking to do the grea grift, continue the great grif and obtain campaig contributions off of this. oh, they are attacking you favorite president $75. send me $10.

it's all a part of the great grift. >> michael cohen, thank you fo being with us. while trump since in his glass house preparing for a possible arrest, his allies are throwin stones at a growing politica rival, i will explain in thi week's got you and later, the mother of tyr nichols joins politicsnation along with the silver rights attorney benjamin crump. we will talk about what is nex in the quest for justice but first, my colleague jessic layton with today's top news stories. jessica? >> hi reverend al, thank you stories we are watching at this hour, russian president vladimir putin is facing a warrant for arrest for alleged war crimes he traveled to crimea today on the ninth anniversary of its annexation by russia putin will be meeting with chinese president xi jinping and moscow next week and france, thousands of protesters continue gatherin in paris to speak out agains the president's plan to rais the french retirement age from

historic criminal indictment o former president trump, wanted to mention a anothe story out of trump world thi week a super pac supporting the

former president has filed a ethics complaint against florida governor, ron desantis normally, when you hear trum and ethics in the same sentence, it's the former president wh has been accused of violation. but in a 15-page letter to fcc trump's allies claimed desanti was running a shadow campaig to build his national profil and enrich himself of course, this is exactly wha many of us thought trump was doing in 2016. and 2011 as well when he ended in a 2011 that h made a run against president obama before returning to hi cushy gig as a reality sho host even in 2016, numerous insider accounts say trump to no believe he would win, but sa the campaign as an opportunity to build his brand when trump did end up in the white house, his administratio

demonstrated an unprecedente contempt for the guideline honored by past presidents o both parties trump clashed with his own ethics watchdog, repeatedly on issues of financial disclosures, record keeping and contact wit foreign lobbyists unti eventually, the watchdog resigned and his office wa rendered irrelevant. with all of that history, it seems pretty clear that trum and his supporters haven't suddenly developed a passion for clean politics more likely, they are becoming increasingly desperate in thei efforts to stop a new arrival. in recent weeks, trump has struggled to find a consistent line of attack against desantis or even a good nickname, i public and private trump has tested out a handful of labels like ron the sanctimonious. ron dishonest, even meatball ron. none of them had stuck it could be that the forme

was not wearing a body camer among other offenses joining me now, civil rights attorney and attorney genera of black america, ben crump an rowvaughn wells, the mother of tyre nichols and rodney well is in the studio i always talk about my man that is my man liz, well let me start wit you. this morning with you on you husband and attorney crump, yo join me at the national networ saturday rally i have to ask as mor information is uncovered about what happened on the evening o january 7th, how were you able to hold up what is your reaction to thi latest development what th policeman retiring a day befor he would've been terminated? >> well, it's actually disturbing i am not understanding how the are allowing someone to retire

when they are involved in investigation. this was news to me this morning. but i am just not understandin because he was actually one of the gentlemen that came to m home that inform me that my so was arrested so for him to be able to retir before all of this, that doesn't make sense to me >> and for him to be there without a body camera, lef before the ambulance, i mean a series of things that was part of what happened to you son. i mean it has to affect you an rodney personally. i know from talking to you all since the funeral, how you still are in a lot of anguis as anyone would understand you to be. >> yes at first i was, it wa getting to a point now where i am starting to get angry because a lot of new

developments are happening and things are not getting done in a timely manner that i fee that should be done. gsa for instance that that fella, they know he wa involved they know that he tased my son but yet still, he hasn't bee arrested or anything no charges have been filed against him. they charge the five officer but what about the rest of the people what are they doing with those people they are allowing them t retire is this the second person that they have allowed to retire? if i'm not mistaken? >> attorney crump, last week officials announced the city o memphis completed it investigation. what is next as you hear the mother talk about others tha should be prosecuted what is next in the quest of getting justice for tyre >> well it's making sure tha each and every one of them are held accountable every one of them, when it

comes to lieutenant smit reverend al, the vice mayo said it best, i am ver troubled that citizens lik rowvaughn eduard knee, the taxpayers has to pay his pension or his benefits, eve though he offered tyre nichols gnocchi manatee when he saw hi leading out there on the scene when they tried to tell them that oh, what kind of drugs ar your son on? that is not right. that is not what you reward fo allowing them to be retiring so that is something we ar focused on the other thing we have to answer your question about directly, we want to bring in civil action because the truth of why they really stopped tyr nichols it is going to com out. >> mrs. wells, you stood wit another family, that of girl sean freeman yesterday i memphis. to join them and calling for justice of their loved one after their son gore sha

freeman was killed by la enforcement in the shelb county jail last october why was it important for you and rodney to be there to help that family? >> well we wanted to show ou support. we wanted to show other people that this is still happening we are not the only family i that this is happening to. and this woman, she lost her only child this was her only child and fo a mother to lose a child period, it's devastating but to lose your only child, s i felt like my husband and i needed to be there to suppor her. because as i have said, i have three other children that i ca fall on and be there for, sh has no other children so i fel it was good for us to be there to support her >> ben, i want to ask you abou two other cases you ar

involved with. first, after facing backlash, mississippi sheriff now says h wasn't ruling out foul play in rasheem carter's death month after initially saying there i no reason to suspend foul play this comes after the 25-year-old was found dead las fall, after he warned hi mother that he was being chase by white men hurling racia slurs. what is your reaction to how this investigation i mississippi is being handled >> it is outrageous reverend al we will need you and nationa network to help definitely i mississippi because when thi young man first went missing and he was found a month later with his head decapitated, the have the audacity to tell hi mother that well he may have gotten dehydrated and animal tore his body apart. i mean and so there is n reason to suspect foul play. if that's not foul pla

reverend al, what is this is a mississippi lynching and we cannot let his step get swept under the rug. >> yes lastly, i want to ask about the incident that led to the death of 28 year old irv autio. and in virginia, ten people so far now facing second degree murder charges in verbose deat after video showed the man who was handcuffed in shackles being pinned to the ground at state mental hospital. now you compare this inciden to george floyd's death and talk to the mother and brother the other day with you you compare that to george floyd. how do you see this case playing out? >> you know it side reverend a because i think it'll play out a lot like george floyd an tyre nichols the family saw the video wit their legal team, just secon tyre nichols we saw it and then, americans will see this vide

and it will be very troublin because like the prosecuto said, they literally smothered him to death he was handcuffed, he had le irons on and he was not threat to anybody but they all put their weight on him an three years after george floyd reverend al we still got law enforcement officers putting knees on necks of unrestrained black men. >> all right we'll we have t leave it there and i thank you for coming in and again, - we are with the pursuit of justice with you and rodney, all the way. thank you for being here attorney ben crump after the break, more on trump 's possible arrest and wit reaction from the gop can sa about the party and his plac with the enemy we will be back. ♪ i like to move it, move it ♪ ♪ you like to... move it ♪ we're reinventing our network.

informed them of any imminen criminal charges the former president has als posted repeated calls for hi supporters to protest. republican speaker of the house, kevin mccarthy ran to trump' defense saying on twitter, and the indictment is quot outrageous abuse of power by a radical da carlos, republicans largel rallied around trump when th fbi searched his mar-a-lag resort for classified document last year. is that what we are seeing pla out again now? and should they be defending you? >> well reverend, what we ar seeing is that donald trump is testing the loyalty of his supporters of his base and thi is what donald trump does he demands absolute oil tv, every day at every hour no matte what he does, he expects peopl to carve out and defend them and support him. and now as he is facing a lo

of legal scrutiny, by the wa for doing things regardless of whether he is convicted or not are terrible right the stormy daniels case is a embarrassment, it's a horrible situation for him but he i demanding that people step out and defend him and stand by hi and clearly, some people are doing that a lot of republicans continu to be intimidated by donal trump. they continue to live in fea of donald trump, that's why yo are seeing some stuff up and defend him >> max, president trump just posted on facebook this week for the first time since january 6th, 2021. and now he is using is truth social platform to make similar calls to protest as he did on that day. congresswoman, nancy pelos tweeted today that trump's announcement this morning is quote raclette us, doing so to keep himself in the news and t

ferment unrest among his supporters and of quote. should the major attac companies be rethinking thei decision to allow the former president to return? >> 100%. they never should have let him back on in the first place it is eerily reminiscent o january six. everything that donald trump i saying here and to all of thos republicans who are right no standing beside him and behind him, god forbid -- if there is violence next week that would be on them as well. each and every republican in the united states senate had the opportunity to stop this they had an opportunity to disqualify donald trump from ever running for president again during his secon impeachment trial and they chose once again cowardice roughly awfully scary. what donald trump is doing i

as he is looking to use th power of mobs as a means o defending himself and the cour of law, to intimidate whethe it is jurors or anyone in th like he has got to be stopped and i which way is possible an certainly, that includes the social media companies >> carlos, wyoming became th first state to outlaw the us of common abortion pills as republican governor mar gordon signed a ban into law o friday the move comes as a texas judg considers restricting access t the pill nationwide. what would be the impact o such a decision? >> well reverend, we know th basis of each respective party are very passionate abou abortion that people who decide elections, the swing voters, people in suburban america, lot of minority voters who are increasingly open to supportin both parties, they don't

support any radical views on abortion on either side. this is where republicans afte having won, after having fough for decades to overturn roe v. wade and having achieved tha goal, now are continuing t press on they are kind of spik in the ball in the end zone an there is a lot of politica risk there for republicans especially with suburban women who, sure their forc reasonable restriction restrictions but once you star out like madison, that i really when you start losing a lot of these voters. it really seems like republicans don't learn th lesson from the 2022 election. they were supposed to win big, they did not why? because they went too far, the were too radical, they were wa too far outside of the mainstream and they were punished for it. if they keep doing this on the abortion issue and on othe issues like election denial, and they will continue payin the consequences >> max, embattled new york congressman george santos this

week filed paperwork for a possible reelection bid. the filings don't guarantee he will run but it keeps th option opening a representative santos is being investigated by house ethics committee for allegedly lyin about his background and mishandling campaign money you know new york politics, yo know it well if santos does run again, ar democrats ready to challenge him? while, rev i don't think i kno it's nearly as well as you d but i will give you my two cents. there is zero chance tha george santos wins in 2024 i would offer that it' incredibly unlikely that h even went to the republica primary. this is not about either o those two things this is about one george santo personal business model. this is about him being and no a part of the foundation of th

maga movement but what i shocking amidst all of this is george santos should not be in congress right now the republican leadershi should have weeks ago, month ago called for him to step down that is kevin mccarthy, as wel as his peers in the senate so you, know what's scary abou this in the end is that they needed george santos they need him to stay in offic through this next election because their margins are so slim that is not really a republica seat, at least of th democratic party in new york gets a hit, they doesn't run all the way to the left an disqualify itself. there is a lot of differen dynamics at play here bu george santos as they thin about 2025, 2026 and he want to beat matt gates he wants to be bannon. he wants to have a podcast wit a lot of followers it's a personal business model

for him. >> all right i am out of tim and i do not new york politics well if he does run again, i ca hear some people saying ma rose ought to move over into that district and think abou running himself. i don't want to start no rumors carlos curbelo and max ros thank you both for being wit us more politics nation after the break. subway keeps upping their game with the subway series. an all-star menu of delicious subs.
