. ask your rheumatologist for rinvoq. rinvoq. make it your mission. learn how abbvie could help you save. hey, everybody, good morning to you. it's 10:00 a.m. in new york, i'm yasmin vossoughian. we have major breaking news this friday morning. we're just now learning about a second attack against a u.s. military base in syria, jus day afterçó a deadlyñi suicide d

strike killed a u.s. contractor in that country. the defense department saying they believe the drone use instead that first attack was iranian in fáorigin. the u.s. launching retaliatory strikes in response at president biden's direction. what the national securityok council is now saying about this latest attack. plus, former president trump's own lawyerñi forced to testify against him. -,■ could happen as soon as tody in the e1wide-ranging special counsel investigation into the former president. what we know about that legal fight that'se1 hyp%9 washington, d.c., ase1ñr a manhn grand jury probing a former president is on hold at least until early ne0s

>> i deal better with regular dtqi u$e peopleq in the politicd class, and i think that has been true for the entire time i've been around. >> so here's the big question, would desantis bet( able to survive an entire campaign season we're already in, by the way. qñi as well. we begin with that breaking news, a second rocket attack on a base used by the u.s. mi+!wary in syria today. this is coming after the u.s. launched air strikes on iranian

>> that's right, so what we've learned from our colleague courtney kube is that one of the radars that protectsi] that bas in northeast syria was down for maintenance when this drone attack occurred. now, it's not clearfá if that w a factor and somehowq allowed that dronefáq to penetrate the a around the base or not, but that is now a key question. i think there's also an interesting thing to note here is that the head of ce command who oversees u.s. forces in thet( middle east was testifying on the hill yesterday, didn't mention this whole incident that we've now learnedxd about, but there's stl

a lot we don't know, but this is not a new problem,t( of course,n the first six months of biden's administration, there were atta78 >> weigh in on thatxd news for % first,çó how somethingu

here's part of what john kirby time ago, take a listen. >> it is not uncommon when we take a retaliatory strike like this for them tow3 answer right back with ineffective rocket fire, and these were largely completely ineffective. i mean, nobody was hurt. no u.s. casualties at all. it was sort of an instinct yule reaction weq get from these militant groups when we do this kind of thing. >> as for thee1e1 retaliation a president biden's orders, the u.sv■v did launch what they describeu

iranian-backed groups in eastern syria as well. you know, there are about 900 u.s. service membersxd and hundreds of other contractors in syria right now. %9 in theirxde1t(i] everyday to tr protect the reconstitution of isis in that region.çóçó as ourqñi esteemed panelist has said over the course of this ójju but it is a newjffá escalation. >> i know you'veñi got to go, you've got a lot oflp reportingo do today. we want to thank you for joining us. we heard from theoc■kñi command yesterday talking specifically about the arsenal that iran has. yes, this has happened repeatedly over thz last few months, this kind oflp proxy wa that's happening inside syria especially with theçó iraniand

you haveñr at(e1çó stalled iran

deluse thank you as well. let's turn now to the investiglujzs facingt( former president trump. trump's own embattledt(ó[■ lawy forced to testify against him. we have some video ofn lawyerçó evan corcoran arrivingt

the d.c. federal courthouse just this morning. a judge recently ruling prosecutors could sidestep attorney/client privilege because of what's known as."■q crime fraud exce8(xjrát(ájj @&h% there's evidence that trump there's evidence that trump committed a crimeq through his the manhattan grand jury dhe separate stormy daniels hushlp money case, not expected+■r convene until at least early next week. nbcqjf news justice, vaughn hillyard is outside mar-a-lago in palm beach, florida, with reaction from trump xm(ás". joined bylp barbara mcquade, la professor atxdñilp the universi michigan and an msnbc legal analyst. ke this one, we just showed some video in a d.c. courthouse early him testifying in front of theñ d.c. g

possible testimony? >> well, yasmin, it's a secreté proceeding. we may not know for sure what he's being asked for some i]tim. it's been very clear infá this investigation that special counsel jack smith needed to get to the bottom of whyi] donald trump's lawyers executed and signed a document back in june that said that they had looked or trump had looked for all á

where he got the ideañrq that te were no more classifiedi] documentsñi at mar-a-lago when,n fact, that was false, andxd the doj found some of those documents in donald trump's office. did donald trump tellw3 him tha? thatq is a big problem for the former president and makes this case more than aboutçó classifi documents. it makes it about obstruction of the significance offá evan corcoran possibly testifying againsti his former client or against his current client, and the former president of the united states. that, and then also this is kind of a two-parter, right? the department of justice+■ claiming thisi] crime fraud exception, the loopholes in that, whereçóxd that could leavi doj vulnerable. >> well, we know thatq a judge has found that the crime fraud exception applies, and as you appoint out, yasmin, that means that by a preponderance of the evidence, a judge found that there was a crime here and that

donald trump was trying to hide privilege as a shield when it was being used to advance criminal activity. that is different from açó findg at trial beyond a reasonable doubt that a crime wasq committed. those are two different things. that alone isw3 an extraordinar finding and iti] allows t justice department to do something it ordinarily cannot do, which is to ask a lawyer what his client toldt( him. so that alone is incredibleñr valuable information and unusual information. the other thing that is noteworthy, evan corcoradi coul invoke his fifthxd amendment rit against self-incrimination if /s thig[r the answers to any questions could incriminate him. the reportingxdçóçóe1 indicates not plan to do that.xd if that is the case, that suggests he plans to point the finger at donald trump or someone else, but at least not himself. any loopholes thatxd could backfire here? i suppose ultimatelyñi there cod be some appeal later on that somehow thisw3 was a violation. the case did goe1 to the courtñ

appeals that donald trump chose not to take it up to the supreme court. i'd imagine that that issue is settled and that this willr create an appealable issue. i think it's axd very important development thate1xd could be v explosiverfuz finally figuringx out inçó this case whether do%i trump didi] commit obstruction justice. >> vaughn, take us inside trump worldi] if you will. he's been own a tear this entire specifically.l media"sw ñr4/ what are you hearing behind the scenesxd there at mar-a-lago? >> right, yasmin. lights are bright on mar-a-lago rightxdñi now. all the attention is here as really he is confined to his private residence asok ociñi ri now. he hit the golf course yesterday. he's back on the golf course xd today. at thehsime time, there's little that donald trump can do.

the manhattan district attorney is doing the work of anarchists and the devil. he's called for the removal of not only special counsel jack smith, but he's also called for p &h(lc% if charges were to be brought against him it could create years of hatred, chaos, andxd ñi turmoil.

>> what's the likelihood ofeñ÷ gag order being grantedxde1q:y

that. in some cases the penalty is that a pers'@ is on bond and you cout8e1 cancel theirfáxd bond a them into custody, but i believe that the offense -- at least the current one that the manhattan district attorney was looking at is not a bailable çóoffenq[so i don't know that is a likely possibility here. p5ryou,i be sure to tune ine1 to inside withfá jen psakixd this sunday eric holder will weighq in on te u02ióñ investigations as well.xd all ñiright, coming up next everybody,i] securing our northi border. q

welcome back, w3ñieverybody things ó2# certainly heating up big time between donald trump )p& chief rival for the white house, florida governor/t ron desantis. in between postingq about his ongoing legal troubles, trump also postedçó multiple times yesterday about the florida governor. trump called him overrated and of course ron desanctimonious, but afterñiñrt( weekswcñ1i] ofñ responding to trump,q desantis s also firing back this week and specifically defending himselfñ against theñi attacks that he doesn't have the charisma toçóq make it to the whiteq house. >> theseq are people who are in class, politicians and like d.c.

>> we've heardnb■ from ron desas now that he doesn't recall whether or not he ever ate &ñ news that he was on an ñrairpla, &rsumably did not have a fork availableó9 that, but also mored you know, he'si] continuing to sort of calibrate his position ñrukraine. he has probably more sot( than ■

republican other than donald trump suggested that thet states shouldn't be ine1 ukrain and then in part of one of thesu interviews he said that putin s after war criminal and now he's back to more like this isq a ìj interest of the united states. he's kind of all overa5■ the pl on the first major international issue that anyone's ever asked him about. i don't think that's instilling a lot of confidence in the people around him.ñr >> we talkçó less about wheree1 desantis isfá on policy and mor f=against someonew3 president of the united states. that's likely because of who he's going to be going up q against, right? andñiçó that is donald xdñitrums less about policy. do you think he did a good enough job inçó this interview far+ defending this idea that he may not have theq charisma or the ability to face thev q-esident on theçóñi main stage?

u)u(áq to be honest, because it'sv defense. that's never a really good place to be. i think this is one of the big challenges that ron desantisñi faces right oknow. question marks that are arising right now.çó váp'tis has really neve been tested, not since he's been on the national stage. he's been in firm control when he's been in the state of florida. he's got a legislatureçó that ds whatever he wants. he figút+ with the local mez)! there, and he kind of stays on % offense. this is the first time where someone has come swinging at him, and he has i would say not with whether that'sko■çó ai] go bad policy in the republican primary, but more just kind of shows how he is going to respond. he tried to sort of stay out of the mud for a long time, and r(it's not very realistic when you're running against donald q trump. he's got to findçóçó a way to g some footing back where he's not just taking punches and actualli landing some himself. >> what doesçó footing back loo like to you? how should he bexd responding

>>p;q$ @&h(lc% >> fundamentally he needs to be willing toxd takeñi onñi donald. as he said in this interview, he thinks he's runningfá against j biden. i hope he doesn't actually believe that. that'sçó naive. he's goingxd squarelyçó against donald trump, andçó he needs to make an affirmative casexd for y donald trump should note trusted /%(q president again, and that is veryc hard to do wih republican çóvoters, many of wh love him. but the idea thatxd you can dan around donald trump. donald trump as we have seenr last week blockslp out the sun. he is what we talk about. he dominates everything, and that is one of the most important things in politics isi defining the playing field. what are you tagq

welcome back, everybody. let's talk about the war in ukraine or the battle over the eastern city of bakhmut is raging. i want you to take a look at this video. a bbc near the front lines caught the moment russian shells exploded just a few feet from a ukrainian trench in bakhmut. the city has taken heavy fire from both sides over the past few months as a top ukrainian commander says they plan to launch a counterassault very soon. meanwhile, president zelenskyy visited kherson be this week praising locals cleaning up the area once under russian occupation. he vowed to restore electricity and the area's water supply after continued russian attacks there. we're back with an nbc news exclusive, nato is adding warships and firepower to defend critical oil and gas fields off norway. tom costello joined a nato

patrol on guard against potential sabotage or attack. >> reporter: take a close look. exclusive video from the norwegian air force of what it says is a russian nuclear submarine's periscope peeking above the water, over norway's oil and gas pipelines in the north sea. russian warships and fighters passing through sensitive waters between norway and scotland. for the norwegian navy, high alert. we spent three days, two nights on a priority nato assignment with a norwegian ship, watching over the vulnerable drilling platforms thousands of miles of pipelines and the maze of internet and telecom lines that stretch from europe to america. the concern, russia could one day attack the internet and energy pipeline. it is 2:00 in the morning here on the north sea. the wind is howling, the seas are rough, and it is very cold. the mission for this boat is to

patrol around that platform on behalf of nato looking for saboteurs or unusual russian activity. it was last september when someone blew up the nord stream gas pipeline running from russia to germany, 260 feet beneath the surface. so far, no conclusive proof of who did it. but nato says russia has since increased its naval activity in norway's economic waters. and an unusual interest in your gas and oil pipelines and infrastructure. >> definitely. they were around this area, more than once, they're going back and forth, they're following the pipeline, so they have suspicious activity. >> reporter: this month nato has been holding show of force exercises in the far north as norway defends its 123-mile land border with russia. right across that border, russia's biggest naval base. >> this is mermansk here. >> the largest concentration of

nuclear weapons. >> reporter: he commands the norwegian navy. nato's network of ocean floor sensors, he says, has recently detected much more unpredictable russian sub activity. >> they have had some maneuvers that i could describe as more aggressive. >> reporter: nato helicopters dropped sonar buoys listening for russian subs. the foreign minister says the world now recognizes how critical its oil and gas fields are to the global economy. >> we really need to protect the whole infrastructure system and also the installations at sea. so, we are prepared for everything. >> nato warship foxtrot 333. >> reporter: we saw the new urgency as our ship was pulled into a secret nato operation, so off of our port side we have just now had visitors, three nato warships have shown up. one, two, three, helicopters in the air, right next to that very

important norwegian gas platform. this is about sending a message to russia, nato is on guard, on patrol, and takes this very seriously. high atop the biggest platform out here, the head of nato announced the alliance will protect north sea oil and gas. >> president putin failed in this attempt to use energy as a weapon. >> reporter: with war raging in ukraine, the stakes in this forbidding expansive ocean are very high. tom costello, nbc news on the north sea. >> thank you to tom costello for that report. that does it for me, everybody. i'll see you tomorrow and sunday as well, 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. eastern here on msnbc.
