already, chris, 3 million documents have been handed over to allen weisselberg, an additional 3 millionlion in total. weisselberg's attorney saying, look, this is a herculean task to get through all of this. but the judge has decided that they have to respond and file their motions on january 20th of next year. prosecutors then file theirs on may 20th of next year. we'll all be back in court next -- the next time we'll be at this courthouse right behind me will be july 12th of next year, where we will hear from both sides. and at that point, a trial date will be set. the judge today telegraphing a late august or early september 2022 trial date for weisselberg and for the trump organization. chris? >> and more indictments expected. the big headline we were wondering if we would get a headline out of that hearing. thank you so much, tom winter. we appreciate it. >>> and coming up, to a place where accusations of rigged elections are actually true, as russia's ruling party is on track to win the majority. what it means for vladimir putin and the u.s., next. you're watching msnbc. without m

in response to the arguments made, i would note that allen weisselberg is no stranger to these documents. these documents are almost exclusively, the overwhelming majority of these records, are trump organization records. mr. weisselberg has been with the trump organization for 35 years. he is the chief financial officer. while he may not have technical access to certain of the trump organization records with respect to relevant financial records mr. weisselberg is the boss. mr. weisselberg is also not an innocent party being caught up as collateral damage here. he is an executive who stands accused by a grand jury of multiple felonies including fraud and tax evasion. it is the people's right to proceed in our case against him and it is his obligation to abide by the schedule that the court sets. and then the defense counsel. back and forth a little bit with the judge. the defense counsel jumps in. your honor may i give one additional data point? the judge. yes. briefly. defense counsel. thank you. when we were back in your chambers, it was represented to us by the district attorney this

but in response to the arguments, made i would know that allen weisselberg is no stranger to these. documents these documents are, almost exclusively, the overwhelming majority of these records are trump organization records. mr. weisselberg has been with the trump organization for 35 years, he is a chief financial officer, and he may not have technical access duster ton of the trump organizational records, with respect to relevant financial records of mr. weisselberg's the boss. he is also not an instant party being caught up in the collateral damage. here he is an executive who stands accused by multiple felonies, including fraud, and texas. it is the people's right to proceed in our case against him and his obligated to abide by the schedule of the court. >> and then the defense council holding the envelope while he says it. and this package, meaning the documents that were just given to the prosecutors today, according to the defense council, he said these were defended by coconspirators basements. coconspirators basements. which means, presumably, we are gonna get some extra hel

in july, district attorney charged him and allen weisselberg with tax fraud.erg opinion news. tim, what do you make of this news about matthew calamari junior testifying today. >> it's an incremental development, lawrence, but i think it's significant in that it shows the manhattan the a is going down and up the food chain at the trump organization to gather information and gather testimony to apply pressure to anyone in the trump organization who might have knowledge of illegalities there. if what's the calamari's were asked about was consistent with everything else that the main hand issue to attorney has been probing, it was probably about whether or not they got undeclared compensated, in the form of freebies like apartments and automobiles that were not properly declared to the irs. the consequence that will matter -- if the calamari's are exposed, it turns them into potential witnesses against others in the trump organization, including donald trump himself. it involves the question of whether the trump children will be called to testify on the same issu

allen weisselberg hasn't flipped yet, but i think it's -- cyrus vance is going to squeeze others.i junior testified before the grand jury. that gives him immunity. there may be a next indictment of senior. also, jeff, the comptroller, he was testifying, and he got immunity. the more people they can squeeze, the more likely weisselberg will flip. if these lawsuits go forward, in his lawyer against his niece, he would have to make a deposition. >>> just ahead, we're awaiting word from the fda on whether the agency will green light booster shots of covid vaccines. stand by. you're in "the situation room." i'm so glad you're ok, sgt. houston. this is sam with usaa. do you see the tow truck? yes, thank you, that was fast. sgt. houston never expected this to happen. or that her grandpa's dog tags would be left behind. but that one call got her a tow and rental... ...paid her claim... ...and we even pulled a few strings. making it easy to make things right: that's what we're made for. usaa. what you're made of, we're made for. get a quote today.

is he the kind of guy who would be in the room with allen weisselberg a lot? kind of guy who helped the trumps prepare their tax returns, and he's the kind of guy who has knowledge of what the scope of their business really looked like, who some of their financial partners were, how they structured deals on paper. i think at the end of the day, it was really allen weisselberg and donald trump and -- and maybe one or two other people that had deciding roles in all this. and i don't think that jeff mcconney was always there, but he was certainly there frequently enough that he's a very material witness and he's somebody whose testimony is really damaging to donald trump. >> there is -- there is something that's always been fascinating about this investigation, and that is that the district attorney is leaving office basically at the end of the year, which is unusual in these kinds of investigations. so we have all had this time frame of thinking what's going to happen will happen within this calendar year, at least get started in a serious way. and, so, that's w

he's the one under scrutiny just like allen weisselberg was. he is now named as a security director. it was mr. squid's the younger subpoenaed to give testimony to the grand jury last week. grand jury testimony is secret. we can never know what happens behind those closed doors, but as a general matter in new york, getting a subpoena to testify before the grand jury means you don't have a choice. you must appear. you are compelled to testify. but you also get a form of limited immunity for anything criminal that you cop to during that testimony. again, as a general matter, if you are being subpoenaed to testify to the grand jury, yes, you have to testify, but you yourself are probably not getting indicted. they probably want your testimony to contribute to a potential indictment of someone else. well, now mr. calamari jr. has provided that testimony. the "new york times" reported that mr. squid's -- mr. calamari appeared in front of the grand jury late last week on thursday of last week. his lawyers say he was immunized and testified truthfully

indictments coming, that is what an attorney for trump organization chief financial officer allen weisselbergnd the trump company itself. weisselberg's attorney brian scarlotos argued for more time to review 6 million pages of discovery documents and according to bloomberg news nodded to the existence of other possible defendants when he pointed out that just before monday's hearing began prosecutors had turned over a box of tax records for the company "the new york times" reports -- >>> calimeri's lawyers told "the new york times" -- today the judge extended the time for trial preparation and made the trial for about a year from now. thank you for both joining us. susan, the speculation immediately goes to co-conspirators, who are you talking about and who might these new indictments be? a lot of speculation tonight including donald trump as a possible defendant because there are reports that he may have signed some of the checks to allen weisselberg. >> thank you. it's hard to know who the other individuals may be who may be charged. but the indictment clearly identifies evidence against ot

we'll bring you more details as we have them. >>> meantime, allen weisselberg, long time chief financialfficer for the trump organization, was back in court today in new york city. weisselberg is accused in engaging in a 15-year scheme to pay trump organization executives, including himself, with untaxed benefits. at today's hearing, attorneys for weisselberg sought to delay a trial, arguing they have a strong reason to believe more indictments could be coming from the manhattan district attorney. the attorneys also claim to be overwhelmed by millions of pages of evidence, many of which the judge pointed out were produced by weisselberg himself. the judge ordered both parties back to court next year to set a trial date which he expects to start in the late summer. in a statement, weisselberg's attorneys said the indictment against him was full of, quote, unsupported, flawed, and factual legal assertions regarding weisselberg and said they, quote, look forward to challenging those assertions in court. >>> still ahead, the fbi converges on the home of the man last seen with a young missing

news from a pretrial hearing for the former trump organization cfo, allen weisselberg, manhattan prosecutorscharged weisselberg in a broad alleged tax evasion scheme just moments ago, his attorney said in court that he has quote, 'strong reason to believe that more on indictments are coming in.' >> he said that he just received today a manila envelope that he held up in court with a bulge in it and he said within that he was told that there were 3 million documents. he said that these documents were found in a co-conspirator's basement and that they were tax documents. >> seth: man, this tax trump case has more twists and turns than a trump rally dance and more wrinkles than nicky minaj's cousin's friend's guys i know, we are all rightfully focused on other things. but apparently while we are not paying attention, they are finding manila envelopes full of secret tax documents in basements of trump organization co-conspirators. who's the lead investigator? nicole kidman in a shawl "i just found a passport with a different name in my husband's lock box don't know what to think."

new york prosecutors indicted the trump organization itself and its long-time cfo allen weisselberg. multi-dollar tax fraud scheme. mr. weisselberg himself and the trump organization has pled guilty in that case, the case is ongoing. since those initial indictments, lots of breath has been expended, lots of ink has been spilled as to whether that was the extent of the case, whether there would be superseding indictments with more charges on those defendants, whether there would be other defendants indicted on other charges related to the initial alleged tax scheme or related to something else. well, now we know, or at least we know that it's still going. the prosecutors who brought those charges against the trump organization and its cfo, they have been continuing to work that case and they apparently have more to give. the "wall street journal" was first to report that the special grand jury that's been hearing evidence in the trump case, the grand jury that handed down the previous criminal indictments, last week they decided they needed to hear from yet more witnesses. even before

so, look, the big fish is clearly not allen weisselberg.e prize. now, mind you, the d.a. and the a.g. have millions of documents all on donald trump's taxes, what we know about the valuation and the devaluation of assets in order to increase his net worth for certain tax -- i'm sorry, for certain loan benefits, but you also have the devaluation of the same assets for the purpose of tax. and this is a multiyear situation. this didn't happen just yesterday. this is exactly the allegations that are being raised in mary trump's litigation, that he devalued the assets for purposes of how much that he would end up paying the other members of the family. so this is a long and protracted methodology that donald trump employs. you also have others that are involved in it that are part of the trump organization, not just allen lberg, not just matt calamari, not just don, ivanka, eric and so on, there are other people as well, and i leave it to the competent hands of mark pom ranz, cy vance to bring this full circle. >> let me ask you about weisselber

. >>> now to this long time former trump organization, chief financial officer allen weisselberg wass the first in court appearance since he was arraigned this summer on charges related to an alleged 15-year tax evasion scheme. he's pleaded not guilty. tell us about what happened today. >> reporter: today was the first court hearing since july, and it was set up to be a pretty money date hearing, but we learned a couple of details from allen rel weisselberg's team. he believes more indictments are coming. he didn't say who or when or how many or why he believed it, but we have been reporting the da's office is investigating matthew calamari, the same type of conduct they looked at weisselberg for, corporate apartments and company cars he had been received. he is in a different position than weaselberg. if t-- weisselberg. the d.a.'s office is declining comment, he held up a manila envelope that had a bulge like it was a thumb drive or hard drive saying that they had just received this morning material that was found in the basement of a co-conspirator in this case, and those records

allen weisselberg of new york. the cfo of the trump organization charged. he was back in court. the judge was told more indictments are expected in the former president's family company. a trial would likely not get under way until august or september of 2022 so justice won't exactly be swift. let's bring in phillip rucker, senior correspondent of "the washington post," and the moderator of "washington week." and dr. celine is back with us, a critical role these days. she was part of a panel that advised the biden transition team and hosts a weekly podcast. >>> welcome. i would like to get back to what your colleagues have written -- >> phil, what's the guess on how much time they have in high school civics courses they teach us that new presidents have to get their agenda done after year one. >> that's exactly right, brian. by the end of this year the members of congress and the political class in washington will be looking ahead to the midterm elections and the partisanship will be more entrenched and it will make it difficult for bipartisanship that biden has been looking for

they have already indicted allen weisselberg, the cfo. it's possible they'll indict the coo, who is calamari sr., and i think there's a lot going on. when you look at the case, people have said, oh, it's just a benefits case, fringe benefits that weren't recorded. this isn't that. this is a 15-year fraud. it's a conspiracy, double bookkeeping. they kept fraudulent books. so it's much more than that. and everybody says, including you had barbara rez commenting there, and she has always said nothing happens at trump organizations that donald trump didn't know about. so the chances are he knew what was going on. he wrote the checks for weisselberg's grandchildren's tuition. he certainly knew about that. that's why we have this case going. >> what leads do you believe calamari sr. could be in dieted months ahead of cy vance's retirement? >> the evidence we've seen so far suggests he got the same apartment and car benefits the way weisselberg got and reported them in the same way. i don't know that yet. i haven't seen his tax returns. i don't

meanwhile, a court appearance for allen weisselberg is opening up questions about how those subpoenask. his lawyer says in public that they expect more indictments in the criminal probe of the trump organization. they found a tranche of evidence in a co-conspirator's basement, and the sounds that there might be another co-conspirator also new. let's bring in john flannery. what do you see here? >> i see the same co-conspirator identified in the indictment. one a calmeri who is chief operating officer, and other one is the guy in charge of day-to-day dealings smerconish. it suggests it's in a basement, it's not in a tower, and it also raises question about spoil dls -- spoilation. i wonder if the son of calmeri went before his dad as calmeri jr. was in front of the jury. >> and it almost sounds like something rooting against the company would say. >> it's not a move i would make as defense counsel. i think he was preoccupied with the no collusion of delaying the trial, and he wanted to suggest this is not the stable situation it appears, that it's not just about weisselberg, it's about

allen weisselberg of new york. the trump organization cfo, charged with tax fraud. weisselberg was back in court today, one of his lawyers told the judge that more indictments are expected in this investigation into the former president's family company. the judge indicated a trial will probably not get underway, until august or early september of 2022. so justice won't exactly be swift. with that, let's bring in our lead off guest on this monday night, philip rucker restrengthen court responded for the washington post. , how the new york times bestseller i alone can fix it. yamiche alcindor door, for pbs news our, and moderator of washington week also on pbs. and doctor celine gounder back with us as well, critical site critical professor of medicine. a critical role these days. and it effective diseases, she was part of a panel that it advised the biden transition team, she also hosts the weekly podcast on the impact of the coronavirus. appropriately called epidemic. look at evening and welcome to you all, and mr. booker i'd like to quote back to you. what your co

he's the one who's been reported to be under additional scrutiny by prosecutors, just like allen weisselberg. mr. kendall murray's son, matthew calamari junior, started at the trump organization right out of high school he is now listed as the corporate security director, of the trump organization. it is mr. squid's the younger who was subpoenaed to give testimony to the special grand jury last week. grand jury testimony is secret. we can never know exactly what happened. it happens behind closed doors. but as a general matter in new york. getting a subpoenaed to testify before a grand jury, means you don't have a, choice you must appear you are compelled to testify. but you can also get a form of limited immunity for anything criminal that you cop to during the testimony. which means, again as a general matter, if you are being subpoenaed to testify to the grand jury, yes you have to testify. but you yourself are probably not getting indicted. they probably want your testimony to contribute to a potential indictment to someone else. now mr. kalahari junior, has provided that testimony, for

indictments coming in the new york district attorney prosecution of the trump organization and allen weisselberg later donald trump files a $100 million lawsuit against his niece. this to me feels like a tactic, it feels like a distraction more than anything else. >> yeah, thus the small eye roll you expressed there as you were talking about this. melissa, to you, trump claims his niece conspired with "the times" to get his tax returns for that pulitzer prize winning story, adding that "the times" got mary to get the tax returns. >> the crux of the lawsuit comes down to whether or not mary trump and her uncle had some kind of nondisclosure agreement related to the settlement of a lawsuit mary trump had filed against the family about the disposition of fred trump's estate. if it turns out this broad settlement agreement includes the nondisclosure of the financial records that were then released to "the times," he may very well have a case. the crux is if that mary trump can establish that the nondisclosure agreement was asking her to conceal criminal activity, she could have a real defense, becau

what i think particularly they need, this was not to go after allen weisselberg. trump's c.o.o.l be next who rose through the organization, been there 25, 30 years and as i said the last time i was on the show, the children and donald himself. so it's coming. and i think coming sooner than later. >> donny, i heard from a former trump advisor yesterday who said, of course donald trump's a very rich man but in terms of the cash flow and the rate that he and his family are accustomed to, all these legal inquiries and inputs and pressures are straining the system, and the kids are terrible stewards of this undertaking. what do you understand about trump's finances and sort of the -- who's managing the ship. >> well, first of all, he's got $600 million coming due in loans over the next few years that he's personally guaranteed. trump's net worth is probably a lot of people think maybe a billion dollars, maybe somewhere around there, but he's certainly not flush with cash. and a lot of his assets are bleeding money and the other interesting thing, when you talk about the family and ho
