now all marine aircraft are grounded. the jet was flying near charleston south carolina sunday, when the military says, it experienced a mishap. it is not providing any details on exactly what happened. the pilot ejected safely, and was taken to a nearby hospital. the judge on the other, hand continued to fly and disappear. leading joint base charleston to ask the public for help finding it, tweeting, if you have any information that may help our recovery teams locate the f-35, please call the base defense operation center. officials are focusing around two lakes north of the base, near its last known location. >> my understanding is the trump founder malfunctioned, that was an issue. we don't know why the pilot rejected, obviously we will get answers to that at a later time. >> tonight marine court leadership ordered all their aircraft grounded for two days in the wake of the missing f-35, and two deadly crashes last month. an f-18 crash near san diego,

killing the pilot, and then and v 22 osprey went down in australia killing three marines on board. the f-35 stealth fighter jet is the pentagon's most expensive weapons system, with a whopping 100 million dollar price tag. and to believe to hide put to the test as search and recovery continues. >> that is a stealthy jet. on that note, i wish you a very good night. from all of our colleagues across the networks of nbc news, thank you for staying up late, i will see you at the end of tomorrow. >> really good to have you here. so, have you ever been asked to dog sit, for cat sit for a friend while they are away? or to plant sit, to want to your friends plants. are you the person who has been given the spare key to your neighbor's apartment in case of emergency? i feel like maybe this was

different and different heiress and different generations, but i feel like in our lives and times, there are not that many formal signs in life. there are not that many formal bits of feedback that can tell you if you are doing okay. things that can tell you whether the people who know you to not just like, you they trust, do they think you are an honorable person. i mean there are a few formal things like, that you can be voted captain of a team, in school sports or something, you can be chosen by your peers for some kind of responsibility, may be asked to be on the board in your, town or the bargaining unit are your job, or something like that. there are some formal things that come across. more often, it is these not formal small personal things. being asked by your neighbor or friend to dogs it. being interested with that. being given that spare key by your neighbor. maybe it dawns on that as your

family members are making decisions about where they are going to live you find that members of your family are moving to be closer to where you live. and, that is because they think you are solid. you can be counted on. it can also be the really humbling things, the most serious stuff like somebody asking to be the child's god parent. somebody asking you to be the executor of their will. there are things like this in life, large things and small things, that i think of as mid life checkups. signs of weather in the eyes of your peers, your loved ones, you are seen as somebody who is doing okay. you can be counted on. if you do not have anything like that in your life, i hope you someday do. i hope every one of us someday

is listed as the in case of emergency contact in someone else's phone. right, a, man let us all be that for somebody someday. at the level of us as a country not just us individuals today's news brought maybe the best test i had ever seen. the starkest test i had ever seen of whether a country is doing things right. in the eyes of the people who know it best. today, in a surprise, the united states and iran exchanged prisoners. five americans who have been unjustly held in iran. basically, as hostages. they were released from prison today. they were flown to qatar, and then they were quickly flown on to the united states where they will be reunited with their families. these are five iranian americans one of whom was the longest held american in iran since 1979. he was held in iran for eight

years. and, the president, the notorious prison, at least two of the other iranians released today were held in iran for five years. these people have been held effectively as hostages by the iranian government for so much time, but the biden administration negotiated to get them free, and today in a surprise, these five americans flew out of iran, they flew to qatar immediately and then on to the united states. now as part of this negotiation, the u.s. government also agreed to free five iranian, iranian americans who were being held here. people who were charged, or convicted with various crimes here. and, these were mostly related to alleged, or proven violations of the sanctions our government has against iran, but this was basically the swander. five americans held in iran, coming home here.

five iranians, or iranian americans being held here, freed to go back to iran. but, it is telling, it is very telling that when the five people who were imprisoned in iran were freed in iran, they all did the same thing. they all hightailed it out of iran immediately, they left that country, they stop in qatar, briefly and then came back to the united states. all five of them. you look at the five on the other side of the deal, you look at the five who were freed here in the united states, there are plans do not look the same. at least, one, and possibly two of the men freed here today in the still with iran, are not going back to iran, they are going to stay in america. one told news organizations today and the iranian news organizations, that they are going to stay in america. thanks. no plans to leave here for iran. are you crazy?

and i feel like this is an important signal moment for us as a country, just as it is a sign of a sign will lift. if somebody asks you to water their plants while they are gone, somebody interests with their husky in case of emergency, so too is it a sign that you are doing something right as a country, when even the people who you free from prison decide they rather stay here in this country than go back to the country that negotiated for their freedom. no i would rather stay here in this country, even though you just brought federal criminal charges against me, it is still nicer here than there, even though that is the country that traded for me. i will stay here. top whatever trash you want about the united states of america, feel free, it is literally a free country. but clearly, we are doing something right. thank you iran for the high stakes international negotiations on my behalf, that freed me to leave america where i am being criminally prosecuted. also, i would prefer to stay in

america despite all of that. see you never. think about what that says about us as a country the we are close to three. dozen american hostages that the biden administration has now successfully brought home from various despotic countries around the world. republicans are criticizing president biden, criticizing the biden administration for getting these americans home today from iran, but you know, what these americans are on their way home tonight from iran. there are no longer in the notorious prison where they have been languishing for five years, eight years without hope. these americans are coming home. and, yes, republicans are criticizing president biden for getting them home. republicans also criticized biden for getting britney griner home, out of russia, after the government there took her hostage as well. frankly, i look for to the date where we hear all the republican criticism about

president biden getting evan gershkovich home from russia as well. the wall street journal who's being held hostage in moscow as we speak. hopefully the day he comes home will arrive soon as well. inevitably, republicans will be up in arms about it when it happens, but it will nevertheless be a great day. with this dramatic and joyful news today about these long held american hostages being released from prison in iran, released and flown home to the united states, and at least, one if not two of the five iranians as part of the deal deciding they will nevertheless stay here in this country thank you very much. with president biden in new york for the un general assembly, where he will make a speech tomorrow, with all of that going on we have america's ambassador to the united nations, the linda thomas-greenfield here tonight with us on set for the interview very much looking for to that conversation in just a moment.

but that dynamic that i'm describing, and that work, that indication that for all of our follows we must be doing something right if even the people who other countries spring from our prisons through diplomatic negotiations nevertheless want to stay here after they are sprung. i feel like that dynamic is also a reminder that what we do have in this country is unique. and, it is not inevitable. what sets us apart as a country is loose-able. it is fragile. it needs protecting. and you can see that in the other headlines in today's news. headline, threats melt against prosecutors and fbi agents working on hunter biden probe. prosecutors and fbi agents involved in the hunter biden investigation have been the targets of threats and harassment according to government officials and congressional testimony obtained by nbc news.

quote, it is part of a dramatic uptick and threats against fbi agents that is coincided with the tax on the fbi and justice department by congressional republicans and former president donald trump. the threats have prompted the fbi to create a stand-alone unit to investigate and mitigate them. previously unreleased testimony. another, one headline, fbi investigating violent threat against officials in fulton county georgia. in the saga of the multiple criminal trials that are ahead for former president and republican leading congressional presidential candidate donald trump, one major thing we are waiting on for right now could happen at any time, it is news on whether the federal judge overseeing trump's case in d.c., no one about him trying to overturn the election, will that judge grant the prosecutor's request for an order that restricts the kinds of statements that trump

can make about that. so astronaut prejudiced the jury, so as not to intimidate witnesses? it is very striking. we are waiting on the order from the judge right, now but in the request for that order from the, judge prosecutors had to give examples to the court of some of the times that trump's overheated public statements have led his followers to commit violence, or threatened violence on his behalf. they included in their court filing, the recent arrest of a trump supporter in texas who called the chambers of the federal judge overseeing that trial, and threatened to kill the judge. because, trump is on trial. all of these things, the court filing about the potential gag order, the threats to fulton county officials, the threats to the fbi itself. these are all just in the past few days. but these headlines are just now the ambient move of service

in the republican politics. it is a fulton county officials being threatened. it is the fulton county sheriff having to investigate that. it is the fulton county sheriff being threatened, and the fbi having to investigate that. then it is the fbi being threatened, obeah officials and agents themselves being threatened, and the fbi having to investigate that. it is the judge in one of the trump case is being threatened. it is another judge, and another one of the trump case is being threatened. it is the grand jurors and one of the trump case is being threatened. it is the prosecutor in one trump case being threatened. there's the prosecutor in another trump case being threatened. it is a federal prosecutor in the hunter biden investigation, getting quote, such a barrage of credible threats that she had to seek security help from the u.s. marshal security service. it is public health workers being threatened and harassed. it is the head of the cdc getting death threats ahead of a cdc. it is the staff of the national archives being threatened.

sure, why, not the national archives has been hit with a wave of threats as the fbi retrieved classified records from trump's mar-a-lago club. it is the irs being threatened. quote, irs launch a safety review after what wing threats. republicans in congress repeating baseless claims made by experts saying potentially puts federal workers in danger. it is more than a dozen people now federally criminally charged with making threats to election workers all over the country. now, it is republican u.s. senator, former republican nominee mitt romney telling his biography about serving members of congress of the house of senate, confiding in him that they have taken specific votes in kong chris, that benefited trump, specifically because they were afraid for their physical safety of the did not. they would have voted in a way not beneficial to trump, but they felt physically threatened. and so, they voted anyway beneficial to trump.

quote, think of your personal safety, think of your children, why put your wife and children in this? if public life, even just regular citizen participation and politics is to fuse with threats of violence now, one of the things that for sure does is in force regular people out of politics, and out of public service. right, it is common sense. if politics and public service are being made into something that is quite literally dangerous, than in the normal course of events, normal people will steer clear. right? that is part of why there is protected associate with, others even for political purposes in this country. you have to be able to gather with others, you ought to be able to assemble, you have the right to assemble peaceable, to seek the grievances.

why do we have a right to peacefully assemble, so people can assemble peacefully, so that you do not feel like trying to redress your grievances with the government is something that will expose you to a physical danger, either from the government or anyone else. we protect protesters, we protect people protesting peacefully to say their piece. so, we can all peacefully say our piece. so that we will, so that our government will be accountable, to us so our government will continue to adapt to the needs, wants, and voice of the people. what we have now is an atmosphere of ultra right-wing political violence and threat, which does not only affect the individual politicians and civil servants and poll workers in law enforcement officials being directly targeted by trump supporters. it has a systemic effect as well. systemically overtime, it thins out, it haulers out public sphere in government.

so it is no longer for anybody, it is only for the brave and militants, and those who themselves are willing to either abide threats of violence, or issue it themselves. that is not the kind of democracy we are. that is not who we are supposed to be. we are supposed to be -- having a rollicking free press, we are supposed to have the constitutionally protected freedom to associate. the freedom to assemble, including for political reasons, from the government. we are supposed to have a vibrant civil society. we are supposed to have no barrier to entry, participatory democracy at every level. from student government, to school, board to, city of here locally elected -- and state rep, and president. if participation in public life at every level and said is --

my people wielding guns, and threats of mob violence, and death threats and intimidation of witnesses and doxxing of grandeur's and the rest of it, then at a fundamental level we are just doing it wrong. we are doing in fact, like way too much of the world does it. and the fact that we haven't -- that we have been different, the fact that we have been a place where government is by and for the people, is at least up until now why much of the world has been aspiring to come here when they can. last week we saw republicans in the state of wisconsin fire the widely praised technocratic nonpartisan administrator of elections in that crucial swing state, after she refused to help wisconsin republicans model or overturn the result of that states presidential election in 2020. republicans in the wisconsin legislature were told by the

attorney general of the state, they were told by their own lawyers in the legislature, that they do not have the authority to fire this election officials what went ahead and they are trying to do it anyway. this week, will see republicans in the crucial swing state of north carolina try and to effectively the same thing as north carolina republicans this week are teaming up a vote to take over elections administration in that state as well. they have been trying to do this in north carolina, but they have been blocked so far by voters in a clearer state referendum. also, multiple court rulings are standing in their way as well, but this week they are apparently ready to go forward again, to take over the administration of elections in that, because heaven forbid we hold on to free and fair technocratic lee sound and bring election administration in this country, we'll small democracy. heaven forbid we hold on to that, when instead we could traded in for garbage, and

trusted elections like everyone else, has and so many parts of the rest of the world, which again is one of the things that sounds good people of all the other countries in the world fleeing to us when they can. because, for so long, we had it better. because our constitution has led us to do it better. we have a good and rare thing growing in this country. a republic if we can keep it. it does not mean we did not have our problems, we have a good system for fixing our problems. we are listed as the in case of emergency contact in the phone of the whole rest of the world. it is something to be proud of. and, it is something to fight hard to protect. our american ambassador to the united nations joins us live here next. stay with us. ♪ ♪ i got the power of 3.

i can pretty confidently tell you what tuesday's news is going to consist of, but dollars to donuts says at least some of remorse news will be about president biden addressing the united nations tomorrow morning, as well as president zelenskyy from ukraine also expected to address the united nations, live and in person tomorrow. they are both here because this is the week of the united nations general assembly. joining us now for the interview, americas ambassador of the united nations and thomas-greenfield. member master, it is great to see you. >> thank you for having me. >> if i know one thing about the united nations general assembly, being here this, week you do not have time to be here right now talking to me. >> i have time to be here. thank you for inviting me. >> let me ask you first about the dramatic prisoner swap today. five americans who have long been held prisoner in iran, being freed, they are on their way home as we speak. five iranians, iranian americans who were either

federally charged, or already in custody here in the united states, swapped for them. i wanted to ask you about a statement made by one of the americans who was freed today, who described this as credible gratitude of being freed, that he said this. over the past 44 years, the iranian regime has mastered the nasty game of caging innocent americans and other foreign nationals, and commercializing their freedom, by now evading prison is a dystopian united nations of hostages. we must chancellor the pain of the victims as the cons of measures that will up and the cost benefit calculations of tehran's foul business. if we keep this path to profit free of risk and told, for them, this vile regime will keep treading on it again, and, again and again. even as he is being freed, he is saying, the system where countries like iran take american hostages for profit, financial profit, diplomatic profit, we have to stop that incentive.

what is your response to that? >> there is no profit that the iranians got from the steel. we released five unfairly held american citizens and brought them home to their families. and what the iranians got were five of their citizens who we ensured were held accountable for what they did, and as i heard from your report, one or two of them do not want to go home. so, they have to explain that as well, but this was about the americans who were -- unfairly held. i know that they -- families tonight, there are other americans being held elsewhere such as in russia, have been gershkovich, paul whelan, who we are working around the clock to get released as well. >> i feel like it is --

it tells us something about regimes like iran, russia, however much they swagger and try to use other means to display themselves in the world as if they carry weight and have influence and are rich and powerful, they are effectively having to resort to these criminal desperate tactics of taking on hostages, preferably american hostages whenever they can in order to try and get concessions out of, us and other countries. is there is some sort of regime that the united states could lead, some sort of compact of the united states could lead to further disincentivize rogue countries like that from going and plucking off individual americans for this reason. >> we certainly work in the united nations with our partners, with other allies to make it as difficult as possible for these countries to hold them accountable at every opportunity we can hold them

accountable. every form where we can call them out, for their bad deeds, this is something that is a quarry value for us, in working in the united nations, working with partners to hold countries like iran accountable. it is not easy. because, we are dealing with individuals who really have no heart. they do not really care, but we have had some success, and i think most recently, kicking iran off the commission on the status of women, when they killed amini was a huge deal. i don't think they expected that they would get that kind of reaction. >> we have seen leaders like vladimir putin in particular in russia, trying to recast the idea of international

institutions, international alliances, so some sort of alternative to the world. we have the united nations, we have the american led western world, and they are trying to create what they say is a multi polar world that doesn't include the united states, that isn't based around international institutions like the united nations, and instead analyze based on alliances of conveniences among dictators. it sounds pitiful, it sounds doomed to failure, until you take a wider lens and realized actually, with authoritarian governments, they are on the rise around the world, including in some old democracies that you think would be immune to the sort of thing. president biden has talked about the choice between democracy and autocracy as being the guiding international light of, the guiding global light of what he's doing as president. do you see at the same way? >> i do. and we do have to really ramp up our efforts to support democracies, because we know

that when democracies succeed, they bring about changes in the lives of their people. and russia knows, that and that is why they are doing everything possible to damage democracies around the world. but, we in our recently we had a meeting of community of democracies, and we were able to say to the world, democracies do work. democracies to deliver to their people. we know there are attacks on democracy today. we have seen crews happening in africa, recently. we have seen autocratic governments try to do everything possible not to engage with the world. but we cannot just say, oh, it is okay, they are doing, this they are winning. we have to keep fighting. that is exactly what the administration is doing.

it is what i'm doing every day in the united nations. >> when you take america's case to the world, which is literally your job at the united nations. one of the things that has changed that you sort of have on your plate, or that you need to account for, the way you represent america to the world, that no other u.n. ambassador has had to deal with. the fact that, for the first time, we have a former president facing criminal charges, he happens to also be the leading republican contender for the next republican presidential nomination. lots of countries have charged or locked up former presidents, prime ministers, it is not that unusual in most parts of the world, it is very unusual and unprecedented here. i wonder how that factors into your job of talking to the rest of the world about the values of democracy, and about the rule of law, and accountability? >> look, there is no question to people around the world that

our democracy is strong. but, it is under attack. we have to defend that democracy, every way we can. when i arrived in new york in 2021, i was embraced by countries around the world. i was embraced by friends as well as competitors. they were happy to see the united states back at the table. they have asked me over and over again, can we feel confident that you are going to stay at the table? and i can't give them that confidence other than to say that our country is strong, and our country will always survive, that we have been tested before, we have survived a civil war, and our country continues to drive. we are not a perfect democracy by any means. we are constantly self correcting, we acknowledge our fault, we survive, and we will

continue to do that. >> our guest is linda thomas-greenfield, she is america's ambassador to the united nations. we will take a quick break. when we come back, i will ask you a thorny question that you are not going to want to answer. that is the only thing i can promise you about. >> i know how to not answer. >> the world's most diplomatic people or the world's most difficult interview. so we'll be right back. ll be right back it immediately feels like somebody's poking directly on the nerve. i recommend sensodyne. sensodyne toothpaste goes inside the tooth and calms the nerve down. and my patents say: “you know doc, it really works." oh... stuffed up again? so congested! you need sinex saline from vicks. just sinex, breathe, ahhhh! what is — wow! sinex. breathe. ahhhhhh!

interview is linda thomas-greenfield, she is that u.s. ambassador to the united nations. this is the week of the united nations general assembly. along with president biden, ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy is going to be speaking with the un general assembly this week. i think they're both speaking tomorrow. >> i know the president is speaking tomorrow. >> i also expect that president biden and zelenskyy will meet and continue their talks in person on this trip. i have to ask you about something that i realize is a phony thing, which is that one of the things we have learned, in the news, in the past week or so, is that as america is supporting ukraine and its war to defend russia, a single american citizen has business interest of such a type, that he has been able as individual to make decisions to constrain ukraine's military from

carrying out operations against russia. i'm talking of course about elon musk. it is, i'm sure this is not an unprecedented thing in american history. but in mr. musk's case, we have somebody who's an american businessman, who effectively as foreign policies way on his own. for whatever reason, has effectively decided to conduct competing, and i would say oppositional foreign policy to the united states, a country of which -- who does president zelenskyy come to to complain about that? new are the master to the united nations. mr. musk appears to be competing with his own country in terms of what his foreign policy, us and has the technological resources to do it in a materially significant way? >> you know, i would assume that president zelenskyy will raise that with the united states. and having served as an ambassador overseas, and having served here, i do have

countries come to me to complain sometimes about the actions of an american company in their country. and, we do try to address those issues when they are brought to our attention. so i assume if president zelenskyy has, complained he will bring that to us if he has not already. >> with the kind of technology we are talking about here, this startling technology linked to mr. musk's spacex technology, it is an integral supply line of information for the ukrainian military. an irreplaceable asset for them. that is bad in one sense, we now, know the united nations -- the united states as a government has effectively cannot make a decision as to how that resource should be deployed to help or hurt our ally in the conflict. it isn't that made by business, which is partly an american business, but not behaving in a way consistent with americas

vested interests. what do -- what or the responsibilities of the american government towards american businesses that are missing with american foreign policy? >> we do two things working with american companies, we support american companies in their efforts to work overseas. but we also establish certain parameters for how american companies operate. this is a situation that i cannot comment on specifically. i do not know any of the details of this. but, i do expect that president zelenskyy will raise, it and it will be brought to the attention of others to address. >> i knew you were going to devoid the answer, i knew i could tell you before i asked it because you can't answer specific. i find it to be a confounding situation just as an observer and american.

another situation that is confounding and concerning is one that the biden administration has expressed very sharp concern about, which is a new law in uganda which is being called the kill the case law. it establishes the death penalty for something they called aggravated homosexuality. they have started to arrest people under this law, and -- the biden administration has been sharply critical of, this is the obama administration was critical of this in 2013 and 14 when the government tried at the first time around. but there are a couple ways in which u.s. fingerprints are actually on this terrific policy. one is that american right-wing evangelical activists have encouraged the government to do this. the other, is that u.s. funds make up a significant portion of the ugandan governments -- passive assistance to get through the program to contradict the effects of hiv and a.i.d.s. in the country. how far is of course very

successful program. i think all righteous people want to defend it in terms of lives around the world -- >> 25 million. >> it is an astonishing effect of american program, perhaps one of the most lifesaving american intervention in the world of hurt. and, i keep hearing from activists who are trying to keep the gay community from being killed off by their government in uganda, that funds are specifically being routed through the ugandan government in a way that empowers the ministries, and the individual ministers. and, given the how strongly the administration feels about, this given their way that the funding -- that is facing really, really serious, serious risk. >> you know, i was asked this

question, i was on the show, the last time i spoke to them, let me just start off with saying this law is horrific. we made very clear in no uncertain terms to the ugandan government, that it is unacceptable. and, we are doing everything in our power to support the lgbtq community in uganda to ensure their safety, and to ensure that they are not damaged by this law. we do know that at least one individual has been arrested and charged and is in the process of being tried. >> because it is a capital, offense it is being held in present -- life-threatening. >> so, we are looking at and i said this before, how we can continue to provide the good

support that we provide directly to individuals to help save for their lives without putting that funding through the ugandan government, or through individuals in the ugandan government who are responsible for implementing this law. it is a huge dilemma, but we have to find a way to do that. we have to find a way to hold those accountable who are basically violating the human rights of the lgbtq community in uganda. we engage with them on a regular basis, i was involved with the situation during the 2013, 2014 period, during the obama administration. when i was an l sussex secretary for africa, we were successful in aiding the government to stop moving forward on the law. we failed on that this time around. we are continuing to engage the

lgbtq community on how we can help them, and also to put pressure on the ugandan government to push back and urge them not to enforce -- >> neighboring countries of course watching closely to see what happens in uganda, if they should also pursue legislation like this reaching the stakes further. linda thomas-greenfield, madam ambassador to the united nations, busiest woman in new york this, week thank you so much for your time. it is an honor to have so much time with you. >> thank you. >> we will be right back. stay with us. back stay with us hey! like your workplace benefits... and retirement savings. with voya, considering all your financial choices together... can help you be better prepared for unexpected events. for a brighter financial future. thanks. ahh, pretzel and mustard... another great combo. voya. well planned. well invested. well protected.

talk to your healthcare provider today. -- so this is the headline that abc news tonight, trump wrote to do lists for assistance on white house documents marked classified. it is like somebody did a mad libs of hilarious nightmare headlines, now newly-possible because trump, trump wrote to do lists for his assistance on classified documents. seriously. why abc news is reporting tonight, is a straightforward and money as that sounds. nbc has not matched this reporting, this is not our, story it is nbc's. nbc exciting multiple sources in this report, that trump's former white house executive assistant has told federal investigators that when he left office, working for him at his florida golf club, trump was in the habit of grabbing any old

classified documents be huddling around, and using those documents as essentially a scrap path to scribble out to do list for her. documents that had obvious classified markings on them. now trump of course has been indicted over the allegation that he had all of those classified documents lying around in the first place when he should not have. special counsel jack smith has charged with 40 felony criminal counts, alleging that trump illegally to classified material from the white house and lied to the government about having, it and try to hug the material from federal investigators, literally he hit it by moving boxes of documents from room to room in his golf club in the hopes nobody would find these things. it is in some ways the most simple straightforward and easily digestible of the four criminal indictments that are currently pending against the former president. the import of this reporting today from abc news which has not been verified, it's not so much that former president trump allegedly likes to use

classified documents, as he should not even have the things he should not have a scrap paper. it is that he handed these classified documents with the scribbles to his assistant. and then, she handed them over to the fbi. that assistant no longer works for trump, and has been previously reported she is cooperating with special counsel's investigation, if that is the, case if she is cooperating, that has implications not just for the cost by documents case, but also for the january 6th case as well which the federal nachman for trying to overturn the 2020 election. the same assistant pops up, that indictment has, what she was trump's assistant when he was president as well. she sat right outside the oval office, fielding emails and calls for him, including some related to the various schemes to try and overturn the election. when it comes to that case, if there is a cooperator, who is his executive assistant, that is important.

there's also something else we are keeping an eye on. as recently as a couple weeks ago, we have been reporting that special counsel jack smith was still investigating efforts to overturn the 2020 election, even a month after indicting trump, a federal grand jury was still working on that case, still intervene witnesses. now that grand jury was set to expire this past friday. friday last week. but, if mr. smith wanted to extend, it he could have tried to do so. we do not know whether he did. so that is yet another thing to keep in mind, and an eye on with the january 6th case right now. all eyes are on the d.c. courthouse where the jury has been meeting to see if they will be back this, week literally reporters are out watching the courthouse to see if they can see the grand jury's walk in, because that is the only way we will know if the grand jury has been extended, or if they have in fact been wrapped up. the grand jury has been meeting tuesdays and thursdays, which means eyes open on that. tomorrow we could know as soon

as tomorrow whether jack smith extended their state, whether they are still, added whether further indictments may be coming. watch this space. she runs and plays like a puppy again. his #2s are perfect! he's a brand new dog, all in less than a year. when people switch their dog's food from kibble to the farmer's dog, they often say that it feels like magic. but there's no magic involved.
