who got to work on the tulip farm with him. he had the best smile, you couldn't see it and not just instantly smile back. >> reporter: the proceeds from the bulbs going toward a foundation that ethan's parents started in his name, scholarships to go to the university of idaho. >> until it became something tangible and something that people grasped on to, we realized by creating a foundation we can give scholarships back to kids to be able to follow their dreams, and that's the best thing we could do in his honor. >> reporter: the victims' families waiting for their next day in court amid potentially troubling new reflations in the case against brian kohberger, accused of murdering chapin and the three other university of idaho students prosecutors disclosed that one of the officers on the case has been the subject of an internal affairs investigation, but with the next hearing still months away, a family sowing seeds to ensure that their son's legacy will flourish. >> i miss him a lot.

>> that kid has touched more lives. if we touch as many lives as he did in the next 20 years, this world would be a better place. he was an amazing kid. >> gadi schwartz, nbc news we have a lot to cover in our second hour of "chris jansing reports. let's get right to it. >> at this hour, the fight of his life, the plane carrying former president trump set to land here in new york city soon, ahead of his arraignment tomorrow we're live from the courthouse, and trump tower where it's all hands on deck. how the nypd and secret service are preparing for the former president's arrival, and how trump is gearing up to walk into the courtroom not just as a defendant, but a 2024 presidential candidate how much money he says he's raised since the news broke, and what we know about his post arraignment, prime time address

at mar-a-lago. plus, a day of firsts, including the first time we'll hear the charges read against the former president in court what we can expect tomorrow and for the future of this unprecedented case our nbc news reporters are following all of the latest developments for us, and we begin with nbc's garrett haake right outside the courthouse, the epicenter of where all of this will play out garrett, does it have that feeling? what's the scene like there, and what can we expect when he walks through the courthouse doors tomorrow >> yeah, we throw the word unprecedented around it applies here. the scene outside the courthouse is continuing to build every time i come out here, i think there's no way they can add another camera, another bike rack, more security, media scrutiny, and every time we come out that footprint continues to grow the global media is here with cameras trained on the manhattan courthouse behind us and the nypd presence has continued to grow with more and more

sidewalks being blocked off, streets being narrowed down, more barriers put in place outside the courthouse when the former president arrives, he'll be brought in through a side entrance, away from most of this. the secret service saying they're going to handle this very conservatively. while he is booked and processed in the courthouse behind me, finger prints taken, ready to go in for the arraignment, we'll have protests by some of his loudest and most vocal supporters, marjorie taylor greene, the congresswoman from georgia. one of the key organizers along with the new york young republican club saying they're expected to gather dozens if not hundreds of trump supporters here in this park to make the points in person out loud that he has been trying to make on social media about a political persecution. and, chris, i just want to add speaking to the politics of all of this, it is notable as the former president is on his plane right now on his way here, he is joined among those on the plane with him by his senior campaign staff. all three of these top officials

in his presidential campaign are aboard his plane not a traditional campaign trip. it speaks to how closely mr. trump's legal fortune and his political future are intertwined now through november of last year >> and they're looking for ways to maximize it thank you so much for that, garrett. now, just about 4 miles from where he's standing is nbc's dasha burns at trump tower, and that is where president trump will be spending his night in his new york city apartment. what's the scene there, and what are you seeing in terms of nypd, secret service, i know they basically got that area blocked off, cordoned off. >> yeah, chris, a similar scene developing here to what garrett was just describing, the police footprint, the media footprint growing throughout the day here. the entire trump tower area has been blocked off it's very difficult to move around here right now. a whole lot of press, a whole lot of onlookers and tourists

passing by here. just stopping to gaze at the spectacle here right now now, the mayor, and the nypd commissioner just held a security briefing explaining how the city is praeeparing for a d that they saw form is going to draw a lot of attention to new york city. they're saying that the nypd is prepared they say that right now there are no credible threats to the city, and while at the moment, things are quiet here right now in terms of protesters, we haven't seen any large crowds gathering, that might be different tomorrow as we expect that marjorie taylor greene, as garrett mentioned, and some others are preparing to make their way here take a listen to what mayor adams said about that. >> people stir stuff up all the time, but, you know, if you are prepared, you don't have to get prepared and we are prepared. and the ability to shift resources where they are needed, i think, is extremely unique to

this police department we can manage several different things at one time >> now, as far as we know, the former president is in the air right now, he is expected to land at laguardia airport. it is there that he's expected to be met by nypd highway, as four units, two units will escort him here to trump tower where he will overnight before heading to the courthouse in the morning, chris. >> dasha burns, thank you for that the trump campaign is capitalizing on this moment for 2024, saying it's more than $5 million and counting when the indictment news broke. vaughn hillyard is near mar-a-lago in palm beach, florida. as we know, trump is trying to seize the narrative in a prime time address tomorrow, right near where you are do you know what we can expect and how they plan to take all of this and fit it into the context of the 2024 race >> the new york to florida

pipeline is a frequent one made by many florida and new york residents. this is a particularly unique one, and donald trump will be right back here in about 30 hours from now of course that arraignment happening between them, but at 8:15 p.m. eastern time, tomorrow night, he is slated to use his mar-a-lago club and private residence as the backdrop for his own defense. he is going to make public remarks addressing cameras, we anticipate being in there ourselves, in which he is going to address the charges that are going to be read to him at that arraignment tomorrow trump's own attorneys don't know the specific charges here at that point because the indictment is still sealed tomorrow night for the first time on camera, we're going to see and hear donald trump begin to lay out his own defense here. donald trump to this point has only tried to undercut the reputations and the credibility of the likes of witnesses, including michael cohen, who has already served three years for crimes which he pled guilty to related to partially these

particular charges that donald trump is expected to face, but also the likes of the district attorney, alvin bragg, as well as the judge who is overseeing this case. donald trump has called for the d.a. to not be the one to prosecute this case. there is hardly a situation in which i will become a reality. he's also suggested that potentially trying to move this out of manhattan, his own legal counsel at this point suggested there has been no internal conversations about that happening and so for donald trump, his best defense is not necessarily the one at that point that can go before the jury but the one that he can win politically. it's a type of fight he announced against the impeachment proceedings against him, a type of fight he waged against the january 6th select committee last year, and so for donald trump putting pressure on other republicans to coalesce around him and try to undercut the minds of millions of americans that this is nothing but political persecution, and the timing of it unique and

special, that being he is the front runner to win the republican nomination again, chris. >> vaughn hillyard, thank you. tomorrow marks the first time we are going to hear what charges former president trump is facing, and potentially some of the evidence prosecutors have against him. i want to bring in nbc legal analyst laura jarrett. the $6 million question, when are we likely to have that indictment unsealed? it won't be a typical arraignment tomorrow, right? tell us what we can expect tomorrow from start to finish? >> well, we are certainly trying to find out exactly when we will see that indictment unsealed it might be the case that we don't see it until the judge takes the bench tomorrow afternoon, chris we just don't know at this point. obviously the d.a. is in the driver's seat here he could have asked for it to be unsealed at any time he hasn't done so obviously. a media coalition, including nbc, has asked for it to be unsealed, given the highly, you know, unprecedented nature that we find ourselves in and given

the stakes in the case we'll see how the judge rules about that as well as cameras in the courtroom. that is entirely up to judge merchan's discretion to see whether he wants to do or perhaps just have a still camera take a photo or two at the back end and the front, instead of a camera there for the entire proceedings. you mentioned at the top, it's the first time we will hear the charges read in court. one of the things that could be interesting to see is whether trump's attorneys actually waive the reading of the indictment in which case, we wouldn't hear the prosecutor actually go through all of the song and dance of the charges. so that's something to watch for as well. but certainly, this is the first time where the president and/or his attorneys will see how they do it, would have to enter a plea in the case, pleading not guilty, of course, they vowed to fight these charges, chris. >> laura jarrett, thank you. beyond tomorrow's arraignment, there's new reporting about the justice department taking a closer look at a separe attrump

investigation, and this time it's right in his backyard, and potentially more serious details in just 60 seconds that enable digital innovation and enterprise control, vmware helps you keep your cloud options open. with downy infusions, let the scent set the mood. feel the difference with downy.

even before donald trump's arraignment tomorrow in manhattan, his legal jeopardy appears to be mounting in another case the washington post reports that the mar-a-lago classified documents case, the justice department has uncovered fresh evidence of possible obstruction, writing this. investigators now suspect based on witness statements, security camera footage, and other documentary evidence that boxes including classified material were moved from a mar-a-lago storage area after the subpoena was served and that trump personally examined at least some of those boxes. political investigative reporter joss dos sey has the report fro the "washington post," and we're joined by two former federal prosecutors, carol lamb, an msnbc legal analyst, and shan

wu what more can you tell us about this new evidence and how it could poetentially change this investigation? >> the special counsel's investigation has focused in recent weeks not on his original decision to take the boxes or what was in the boxes at first, but his refusal to turn the boxes back over. both when he was asked by the national archives, by his own lawyers and advisers, and then later by the justice department through a subpoena, and what the prosecutors and investigator haves found is that there's significant evidence that they tried to keep materials, even after he was asked by all of these people they now believe after the subpoena arrived at mar-a-lago in the summer of 2022, former president trump had his aide go get boxes and then he reviews personally at least some of the boxes before so a few weeks later now, his

infamous response to the subpoena that led to the raid of mar-a-lago because the fbi and doj did not believe they were being told the truth by trump's team, but what they're amassing is evidence about obstruction. what else they have are text messages and e-mails from his assistant who sat right outside his office and was communicating with various people about what he's doing with the boxes, and you see the key delineation between this case and the biden case obviously president biden also took documents left unsecure in his garage, and in delaware and in other places as well they have a separate special counsel probing that, but this current special counsel's office views the big difference to be not -- he certainly didn't take more based on what we know, but all of the efforts to not give them back. >> so, carol, what would be needed in terms of evidence to support an obstruction charge? does what josh and his colleagues report in the paper

suggest that that's a possibility? >> oh, let me first say that this has the potential to be a game changer in terms of what the evidence may actually show, and it's not just limited to an obstruction charge it's, in fact, the evidence ends up showing that donald trump personally took these boxes after the subpoena was served and made personal decisions about what to keep and not to keep, and if it can be shown that, in fact, he decided to keep certain classified documents in his possession and not give them back to the government, that eliminates any defenses this was simply accidental or inadvertent or all of the things that we have been thinking perhaps might be the case, but -- and that appears so far to be the case with respect to both mike pence and joe biden's retention of some classified documents, but what this really means is that a whole host of other statutes could come into play, any statute having to deal with the illegal retention of documents

that anybody in the government is not supposed to keep in their possession this is a direct line, potentially, showing donald trump's knowledge and intent that is a complete game changer here. >> if we take unintentional off the table, and again, we don't know, but if, as josh reports from people familiar with the investigation trump looked through these documents, these boxes, apparently to keep certain things in his possession, and witness testimony that said he wanted the boxes is backed up by surveillance video, is there a defense like we've heard from him, such as trump believed he had declassified everything or somehow believed it was within his power or his right to keep these things >> yeah, i would add to that his notion that he just really believes that they believe to him. none of those look like they would have any traction legally. know doubt he will still raise them he said repeatedly at his

campaign rallies, they belong to me they're my property, and that's obviously wrong from a legal standpoint, but i think we'll still expect to see that defense. and frankly, even the fact that he is seen or observed on surveillance looking at the documents, telling people about them, he'll still argue that he thought that was fine, that they were his documents, but it does make it pretty hard to make an argument that you didn't know they were there if you're actually looking at them yourself. >> and you know, the ap is writing about trump's vulner vulnerability in the special counsel investigation becoming clear. as judges have turned aside efforts to block testimony, from witnesses who were or still are close to him and who could conceivably offer direct insights into key events trump aides have been ordered to testify in the georgia grand jury case as well. do you see all of those things

taking together, shan, as a potential sign of more jeopardy, and does it argue that the special counsel investigation is going to wrap up maybe later rather than sooner >> i think it does signal it's going to wrap up later rather than sooner. the court system and the justice system here are moving kind of slow i wish doj generally would move faster, they are trying to strip away, trying to shield the testimony of critical aides, via privilege, that is being stripped away and that's not going to be a very good sign for tr trump's ultimate defense once they strip it waaway, they have to get the testimony, they have to evaluate it. >> and, josh, i know you guys have been on top of this from the very beginning, what are you looking for next in terms of the documents investigation? >> that's a good question. i mean, a lot of the evidence they seem to have already amassed. my understanding is this particular probe is further

along than others at least in the special counsel's office more from the biden investigation and more in the j6 investigation. it seems like there's a few more aides they need to talk to, but they have interviewed dozens and dozens and dozens of personal staff, political staff, almost anyone who has been around him they have amassed a lot of interviews, evidence here. i think we're not too far off from the rubber hitting the road on this one. >> more great reporting from you, and shan wu, thank you as well carol, you're going to stick around. they're bracing for trump's indictment in washington as well the senate sergeant at arms sent out an alert friday to senate staffers saying there are no specific credible threats but they, quote, anticipate demonstration activity across the country related to the indictment, and now some democratic house members are allowing their staff to work from home over the coming days we've got an nbc news exclusive after the break. new details with information

about that chinese spy balloon what it was able to get and how china wanted to prevent us from knowing about it plus, president biden isn't phased by his predecessor's indictment, but it's unclear how long he can avoid talking about it and it's april, but march madness is reaching its frenzied finish congrats to lsu winning the women's title last night the men's final tonight in houston. you're watching "chris jansing reports" only on msnbc

nbc news has exclusive new details that the infamous chinese spy balloon shot down near south carolina in february w was, in fact, able to collect intel from sensitive american military sites despite the pentagon's best efforts to block it that's according to two current and one former senior u.s. official for more than a week, the balloon traveled across the country, hovering near several bases, including one in montana where the u.s. houses a portion of its nuclear arsenal nbc news white house correspondent carol lee helped break the story. she joins us now this new reporting hits on two of the big remaining questions about the balloon, which was, a, why was it here, and what could it do to help china. what did we find out >> well, what we found out, chris, from multiple officials is that the balloon, when it was traveling over the u.s., that it

was hovering at very sensitive military sites, including at times doing figure eight formations over some of these sites, and gathering up intelligence that intelligence is large lily related to electronic signals, according to these officials and what china was able to do is gather some of that intelligence now, and that the u.s. was trying to block them from being able to do so. and to a certain extend, they did, their administration moved some potential targets around. they otherwise tried to obscure china from being able to pick up so called signals intelligence, but nonetheless, china, we're told, was able to do that, and tr transmit that information back to china in realtime that adds a new dimension to this what u.s. officials say is, look, it could have been a lot worse. they didn't get everything they could have because of those steps that the u.s. took while the balloon was hovering over the u.s.

and they argue that china didn't pick up anything that it otherwise couldn't have gotten from other methods of intelligence collections, including from satellites and things like that the other thing that we learned, chris, was there that there was a mechanism in the balloon to self-deconstruct so basically, if china wanted to, they could have pulled the trigger and had it self-destruct. they didn't do that, and what the u.s. doesn't know is if they chose not to do that or if that mechanism somehow malfunctioned. a number of things that are coming to light as this investigation continues, chris. >> carol lee, fascinating, thank you so much. now to russia where authorities say they have arrested a suspect in the bombing attack that killed one of the country's most prominent military bloggers in st. petersburg just last night nbc's josh lederman is back with us the kremlin describes this as a terrorist attack, placing the blame on ukraine, and an

imprisoned opposition leader what do we really know here? >> we know authorities have arrested that 26-year-old woman, daria tripova who they say committed this rime, and they released a video of her confessing to having brought this figurine of the blogger to the cafe where it then exploded, killing him and wounding many others it's unclear if that was a forced confession, if that video may have been made under duress. this is shaping up to be very similar, chris, to the assassination last year of that pro war propagandaist du durena dugena who was killed in a car bombing in moscow. russia is quick to blame ukraine, and there's certainly a plausible motive in terms of these being individuals who are very supportive of russia's war in ukraine but then, you know, a lot of other watchers of russian politics are saying these are not really high level targets

that it would make sense for ukraine to go to great lengths to kill in a different country, and it's not just the ukrainians who are denying involvement in this evgeni progoesen, head of the wagner group, group of paid military fighters serving in ukraine for russia he says he thinks it would be a mistake to say that the ukrainian government was responsible for this, and there's a lot of speculation at the moment that this may be political infighting within russia, some type of an internal power struggle playing out there are a whole lot of questions about why these pro war propagandists are seeming to be killed in russia. meantime in rome, pope francis's schedule is fully booked now that he's out of the hospital with the vatican announcing he will preside over nine masses between now and easter he kicked off holy week leading palm sunday service after being discharged from the hospital thousands lined the square

breaking news related to the indictment of donald trump the first one coming in a letter

from his lawyers who are arguing against cameras in the courtroom. let me read a little bit from that it says we submit that the media requests should be denied because it will create a circus like atmosphere at the arraignment, raise unique security concerns and is inconsistent with president trump's presumption of innocence. i want to bring in carol lamb, a former federal prosecutor and msnbc legal analyst. they write further, we believe any photography or video of tomorrow's proceedings will detract from both the dignity and decorum of the proceedings and courtroom and will necessarily interfere with the fair administration of justice this is what we predicted that they might do, but what do you make of the argument >> whether video or photography or cameras are in the courtroom really lie solely in the

discretion of the judge who's presiding over the trial, unless there's some kind of rule or legislation or court rule that governs and doesn't appear to be the case here. so, you know, the public has gotten used to seeing proceedings in trials, live on tv i think that there are a lot of arguments for it there are a lot of arguments against it and a lot of it depends on what kind of control the judge keeps over the courtroom i think the people tend to fall in place in a courtroom. if the judge establishes sort of a command over the courtroom, but there's always the possibility that things get a little bit out of control, that people start playing to the cameras. it starts interfering with the administration of justice. generally speaking, we've seen that jurors are not shown on camera, but imagine that, of course, donald trump's lawyers don't want to have the visual of his sitting as a criminal defendant in the courtroom and so it's really going to depend on what the justice in

this case decides to do, and we're just going to have to wait and see. >> do you think there's an extraordinary argument here for the public interest because there is, well, frankly just look at the numbers of the criminal justice system, the media, for example, the lack of trust that many of the american people have. is there, given the historic nature of this, an argument to be made that there is a compelling need for the american people to judge for themselves >> it's an area where technology has sort of gotten ahead of court rules and what people's expectations are there is no constitutional right to have cameras in the courtroom. proceedings do have to be open to the public, and generally speaking until the lastcouple of decades, that has meant you have people that attend the proceedings write about them afterwards so i think there is an argument to be made that there is a compelling interest in making sure that the proceedings are

portrayed accurately and there's no better way of doing that than seeing it on camera. the judge's first and foremost concern is going to be whether the administration of justice in that trial goes uninterrupted and is fair to both parties, the defendant and the prosecution. that is going to be the judge's call but, again, there is a constitutional right to have the proceedings be open. what form that takes, whether it's cameras or just reporters sitting in the courtroom, that, again, is in the judge's discretion. >> yeah, the media lawyers have requested as many seats as possible in the courtroom, and they be allowed to bring in their laptops. in the meantime, i promise two pieces of breaking news, and the second one is that another lawyer has been hired to be on team trump his name is todd blanch. he resigned from his firm to take this job, but he's a former assistant u.s. attorney in the southern district in manhattan he also represented paul

manafort does it surprise you at all at this point that he's, first of all, hiring another white collar attorney but also that trump is expanding his team given the stakes here? >> it doesn't surprise me. you have to have attorneys who can devote the amount of time that's necessary to take on a case that is likely looks like to go to extensive pretrial motions and then trial itself, and you want somebody who knows their way around the courtrooms in new york. so i think those are two aspects. there's also, it seems that donald trump, hetends to think well, if i'm not doing so well, the answer is to just hire another attorney and that's not always the best thing to do. you want to have somebody who has some rapport and who understands what the investigation entails leading up to the indictment, but of course it is his right to hire any or as many attorneys as he wants to

do and, again, it looks like this person is going to be dedicated to this particular investigation and this particular trial. >> carol lamb, thank you very much. and right now, we are seeing quite a split screen between the current and former president of the united states. president biden about to promote a major investment in clean energy at a manufacturing facility in minneapolis. there he is moments ago coming off their fourth one meantime, former president trump on his way to new york city where he faces arraignment over those alleged hush money payments nbc's allie raffa joins me now from minnesota where she is traveling with the president, and he is set to speak there i think we're about an hour away from liftoff, essentially, and i'm sure the press is going to look for a chance to ask about the trump arraignment. but what do we actually expect to hear from president biden there? >> reporter: yeah, chris, that is expected, especially because we know that the president as well as several other white house officials have been asked

to react to this news about president biden's republican predecessor, and repeatedly they have said that they have no comment about this news, and that is a very strategic decision on the part of the white house as it creates as much distance as possible between the white house and these ongoing probes to the former president, to not appear as if they're interfering with ongoing probes at all. today we expect the president to focus on the second stop in his invest in america tour we are right now in fridley, minnesota, at the cummings manufacturing plant. this is a company that's pretty familiar to a lot of us. it's one of the leading engine manufacturers in the united states it has a very large footprint. employs over 70,000 people at plants across the country, and it's been around for over 100 years. the white house is saying it's going to play a huge rule in the future of clean energy efforts because recently it announced an investment of over $1 billion in these clean energy efforts, and the white house is saying that

is in part because of and due to these legislative accomplishments on the part of the biden administration that they have been able to accomplish over the last few years. the bipartisan flauinfrastructue bill, the president trying to highlight those efforts and how they're creating more jobs, investing in clean energy, and reducing this reliance on overseas supply chains and bringing those jobs back to the united states, so we expect him to highlight those efforts and really contrast that with that of republicans' efforts, and this is, after all, the second stop of what we expect to be over 20 states that the president, the first lady, the vice president, as well as several other cabinet members will be visiting over the next few weeks. several of those states notably, battle ground states that we expect to be even more crucial, even more competitive in 2024, as we continue to await this expected reelection announcement from the president >> we had so much breaking news

in just the last 15 minutes. i have to ask you about something we just learned. first lady jill biden's plane had to be diverted to michigan, then back to denver. what happened? >> reporter: that's right, chris. so the first lady, as part of this invest in america tour was supposed to be in michigan today talking about how investments into education, of course the first lady, continuing her role as a professor at a community college, while she is first lady, she was supposed to go to michigan we now know that the plane for reasons still unknown has been diverted back to denver. it's assumed that those are tech issues with the plane. we do have a statement from the first lady's press secretary in the last few minutes that says, quote, everyone is safe. we're back on the ground in denver no further details to share at this time. so it's assumed that that trip to michigan will eventually be rescheduled, but for now, the first lady will be diverted back

to, as we know, denver and washington, d.c. by the end of the day. >> well, the important thing is everybody is okay. allie raffa, thank you so much for that. in florida today, governor ron desantis signed a bill that allows people to carry concealed loaded guns without a permit desantis signed the bill with little fanfare in a nonpublic ceremony notably the only people present were the bill's sponsors, legislative leaders and gun rights advocates, including representatives of the nra the majority of states have passed some version of permitless carry legislation. meanwhile today in nashville, students walked out of classes to rally for more gun safety regulations metro national public schools asked students not to walk out, encouraging walk-in rallies on campus grounds instead, but thousands of students joined by their parents and activists from around the country protested at the capitol building anyway. this is the second demonstration there since a mass shooter
