it can be very frustrating as alvin bragg's office is likely frustrated now. these are a vol num mouse amount of documents. we're talking about literally tens of thousands of documents have been turned over from the sdny's investigation into this very same thing, things involving michael cohen, involving other witness, all of the above. all the parties have to sift through it. >> not to get too much in the weeds here, but the d.a. has said there's only about 300 documents that are relevant. if you're arguing on trump's side in front of judge merchan, what are you saying? >> as a defense attorney i gravitate towards those arguments. i'm saying, well, i don't want to take the government's word for it. >> i have to look at each document myself. >> of course, of course. in the discovery process there often are massive amounts of duplicative information. however, this defense team is going to want to cross their ts and dot their is. the key statutory language that charles is referring to within your possession, custody or control. trump's team is making this argume

the alvin bragg thing is probably keep going on. fani willis seems to have big problem in georgia, we'll play hopefully producers can get stand by your man before this segment is over. my favorite song with fani willis what kicked her man under the bus, joe, at the end of the day, joe biden helped or hurt by this whole legal warfare throw trump in jail in kind of thing, help or hurt? >> the answer is both, it helps him in sense where what is news cycle dominated bighted, donald trump and the judgment reduced by 300 million and alvin bragg case was supposed to start today, the conversation is about trump, and legal problems and not about the issues, issues that joe biden has failed oh, as far as inflation, and crime and the border and immigration and foreign policies and education, energy, trade, we're not talking about those thing, it happens him this that regard, but this hurts him it provides 1.21 giga watts of petroleum for donald trump's campaign because he look like a victim here, in bragg case, a federal judge called michael c

the alvin bragg case was supposed to start today.n other words the conversation is solely about trump and legal problems and not about the issues, issues that joe biden has failed on as far as inflation and crime and the border and immigration and foreign policy and education, energy, trade. we're not talking about those things. it helps him in that regard but it hurts him because obviously this is something that is providing 1.21 jigawatts petroleum for donald trump's campaign. he looks like he is a victim here. larry: yes. >> you see the bragg case for example, a federal judge called michael cohen, a serial perjurer, which may explain why he goes on cnn and msnbc so much. that is the thing they see these clowns like fani willis, michael cohen or alvin bragg. no one is taking this seriously, no one. larry: every time one of these cases comes up now, it helps trump. every time one of the issues comes up it helps trump. joe biden and his crowd dug themselves into a real bad legal, political hole and one of the many misjudgments of tha

>> well, it's not alvin bragg's fall if he didn't have that, he didn't have them. that being said, he did provide some back in june, donald trump didn't challenge that or say you weren't doing a diligent job to try to get it because anything remaining, he provided them back in june in june of 2023. and now, just in january, donald trump turns around having to subpoena this. so he's clearly waiting to the leg good opportunities to do so. and he didn't push the fed as i read and understand to get the documents to him, whatever they may be. so this is not something within the control of the district attorney's office. this is something that's in worth control of the us attorney's office i'm glad you made that distinction. i think is lost. a lot of people i think da alvin bragg and tried to get them from the us attorney's office. they didn't give him over. they had the opportunity to do so over a year ago. but why is there daylight? explain to people about why there is this is not the same entity, obviously, everyone knows that alvin bragg was prosecuting and an eye to

alvin bragg's office says only 300 relevant pages. who would take his word for it and why alvin bragg didn't push the feds to turn over the documents for one year is prejudice of the accused in this case. as everybody has pointed out, this is a weak case. if you look at the indictment, alvin bragg has not identified the underlying crime, which the defendant is entitled to know before he goes to trial. this case has a whole host of problems defense will try to exploit. >> lawrence: you have all these d.a.s that don't want to target non nonviolent crime, but have gotten wind in their sails to go after the former president, i don't understand the hypocrisy there. >> the hi ypocrisy should be evident to everybody. they all seem to be mrith cally motivated, designed to damage trump and timed to damage trump during an election. that is classic election interference. what they didn't appreciate is the many -- of course fani willis seems to have self-destructed before our very eyes and now the alvin bragg case has a problem, as well. their be

alvin bragg said we will give them 30 days. the trump team wanted 90 days. judge ultimately ruled. >> ainsley: enough time to information. >> steve: judge says no and alvin bragg says we will see. >> lawrence: they didn't have all the facts and documents before they decided to charge. if anybody needed any evidence of this being political, every it now. >> ainsley: let's turn now to more headlines, a man is critically injured after being shot with his own gun on a rush hour subway train in brooklyn. look at the cover of "the new york post." the man reportedly pulled out a gun after becoming very aggressive with another commuter who was wrestled, who did wrestle the gun out of the first guy's hands. and then fired multiple shots towards that aggressor. this shooting comes just days after new york's governor kathy hochul deployed 750 members of the national guard to help boost safety throughout our subway system. james crumbly, the father of michigan school shooter ethan crumbley, is found guilty on four counts of involuntary manslaughter. in 2021, ethan kille

we have heard pushed from alvin bragg's office on that agreeing to at least a 30 day delay. but really all of this is going to be up to the judge and what the judge inside that courtroom determines. cnn's paula reid and kristen holmes, are both here outside this manhattan courthouse. and pull it. i think it's important to remind people because we've been talking with all the different judges here. this judge has been maybe the first that we've really seen who has been very aggressive in addition to judge chutkan and washington when it comes to the timing yeah. and cutting trump's team off when they've tried these delay tactics, which we know has been their strategy in every single case. this judges in very strict, i wonder what that portends for what the judge will do today. >> so it's interesting because trump's team is asking for 90 days if the case is not dismissed, we don't expect it's going to be dismissed. so they're asking for 90 days to review this new evidence that was handed over by federal prosecutors but the district attorney is saying, no he's a delayed this 30

if alvin bragg saw this filing today, look, i asked the u.s. attorney's office for this stephanie gave me a subset of that and trump waited until january and issued a subpoena of his own and, lo and behold, very recently gets that and it's hundreds of thousands of pages of documents including some of the same stuff i asked for and didn't get and i can't explain it because i can't i will agree to a 30 day adjournment. >> for some of those details trump had requested a 90 day delay in the trial at the us attorney's office. and provided discovery and brag said it was largely irrelevant except for 172 pages of witness statements and the district attorney said the u.s. attorney's office on wednesday produced about 31,000 pages of additional records to both prosecutors and trump's lawyers and indicated additional production would follow by next week. that is wild, dumping thousands of documents coming after trump issued that mid-january for additional materials for federal prosecutors. that will delay this trial it looks like and we will get the mont

and not only that, alvin bragg has dirty hands.t read it yourself where you said that the feds looked at this case. everybody knows the feds looked at this case. so as a result of that we all know the feds have records. so the feds, just this week, delivered 31,000 records yesterday, which should have been delivered within 15 days of arraignment. the next week there is another batch that is going to be delivered. and after that, there is going to be even more. now alvin bragg, the man who has pushed for discovery to move it quickly, to make sure defendants get what they are entitled to, he subpoenaed records, too, and when he subpoenaed the records, he only got a quote in his own papers a subset of those records. he knew there were more records. he knew he didn't get everything that he asked for. he knew there was more and he didn't -- he didn't follow through. and now he wants to blame president trump? he is totally wrong in response, the u.s. attorney refused to produce more records, which redisclosed to the defendant. no, you do

manhattan district attorney alvin bragg's hush money case was set tos go to trial on mar 25th, less than two weeks from today, but now that date is in question. now,s trump's legal strategy i all his cases has been to push them off as long as possible, preferably to the month of neb ruary. today d.a.'s bragg's off consented to another delay of the trial. the issue at hand is a new trove of records turned over by the feds in the southern district of new york, tens of thousands of records. specifically 31,000 pages of records the u.s. attorney's office just handed over to bragg's office yesterday. now, the d.a. specifically pins this newest delay on trump, saying thaton trump's legal tea waited until two months ago to request this massive trove of records from the u.s. attorney's office. and don't get me wrong, i am sure trump's legal team is using every opportunity that exists to create delays in this case. it is what they do. but d.a. bragg's office and the u.s.ic attorneys office know th. and one of it reasons this appears to be happening so late in b the game is because the u. attorney

and the ex-president is allowed to make statements about district attorney alvin bragg. if his ruling, the judge said that the need to protect the integrity of the process from the defendant with one of the biggest platforms in the world. as trial neared it pushed him to issue the cord. quote, given the eve of trial is upon us, it is without question that the imminency of the risk of harm is paramount. the rules was issued hours after trump made two statements that would arguably have violated the gag order. times records in a rambling and angry post on his social media site on tuesday, he made a reference to michael cohen, claiming without explanation that his former fixer, was, quote, deaf. and referred to one of mr.

alvin bragg said when the indictment was announced almost a year ago. >> the defendant repeatedly made false statements on new york business records. he also caused others to make false statements. the defendant claimed he was paying michael: for legal services performed in 2017. this simply was not true. it was a false statement the defendant may month aftermath -- after month in 2017. april, may, june, and so on through the rest of the year. for 9 straight months, the defendant held documents in his hand containing this. why do we continue to make this statement? covering up crimes related to the 2016 election. at its core, this case today with one of allegations like so many of our white-collar cases. allegations that someone lied again and again to protect their interest and evade the loss for which we are all held

in a new filing, prosecutors for alvin bragg say the court should reject trump's attempt to exclude evidence and arguments about his intent as well as testimony by stormy daniels. and of course by the gentleman you just saw, witness michael cohen. prosecutors say trump's motion to prevent cohen from testifying, quote, reads more like a press release than a legal filing. meanwhile, the ex-president filed yet another motion today as he lashes out at the case that bragg is building of election interference at its heart. his plans to use the infamous "access hollywood" tape as evidence and bragg's request for a gag order to protect witnesses, jurors, and the integrity of the case from trump's inflammatory rhetoric which prosecutors have laid out as well as the death threats that immediately follow from his most extreme supporters. or trump's alternate reality, what he calls, quote, supposed -- supposed threats and

and another development today, manhattan district attorney alvin bragg push for trump's criminal hush money trial to begin as soon as possible in mid-april. and if the judge agrees, sources tell me it could rattle the race, forcing trump off the trail for weeks in the spring to

i believe that the da, al bin alvin bragg, was not responsible for the delay in documents.t else is he saying? he'll rule from the bench on the timing of the trial? >> right. already, he has delayed ahead of today's hearing, delayed the trial through april 15th. after the first about hour and a half of this morning's hearing, he was repeatedly asking todd blanche, donald trump's attorney, as to how many of these 200,000 of pages of any documents related to key witness, michael cohen, did they actually need to go through. the prosecution, from alvin bragg's attorney, said 300 pages were actually relevant to this pending case against donald trump. but when repeatedly asked by the judge, donald trump's attorney suggested it could be potentially tens of thousands of pages. clearly, it irked and frustrated judge merchant, suggesting this was simply a delay tactic in order to put off this case even further. even last night, you saw that todd blanche, the attorney for donald trump, suggested he had a new phone conversation with the u.s. attorney's office about pages of evidence re

alvin bragg's office said, can you give us the paperwork? they just got to it and handed it over to him. same time trump team asked for a delay and now all of a sudden, everybody wants a delay. here is the exact statement. people are prepared to proceed to trial on march 25, we do not oppose adjournment in abundance of caution to review the new material. we do not oppose brief adjournment. they need time to read the stuff. >> that is right. i can't help thing department of justice is playing games here. they are prosecuting president trump in d.c. and florida and this case went first, indicted first before any other case. the federal government was well aware president trump has right to look for information on other witnesses. this looks like game play and i don't understand why the judge is not sanctions department of justice and alvin bragg's office. >> brian: you know why, it is new york and legal system does not like trump. certain firefighters do. >> ainsley: can't someone above alvin bragg say this is nothe fair, they need more time.

the manhattan district attorney alvin bragg proposing a one-month delay in the start of trump's hush money trial. trump's accused of trying to conceal payments to adult film star stormy daniels, the first of the former president's criminal trials was supposed to get under way less than two weeks from now. prosecutors said they just got their hands on tens of thousands of pages in documents from the justice department, and they want to give trump's legal team up to 30 days to review them. prosecutors noting there will be another production of documents by next week. >> what did the committee want to know -- >> reporter: the repocords are related to michael cohen. trump has pleaded not guilty. his legal team demanding months to go over the new records, which would delay the trial even more. >> david: to be clear on all of this now, aaron katersky with us live, so, in florida, judge cannon strongly signaling that this documents case will move forward. in new york city, this hush money trial, likely pushed back at least a month. and then tomorrow, we're expecting a major decision in the

alvin bragg's office created egregious violations that the case should be dismissed. what are your thoughts? >> don't see a basis for dismissal. what alvin and his bragg did was warranted saying there has to be some delay to go through the documents. the real question is why did the southern district of new york wait so long to dump the documents when they could have released them many months ago? i think there's a lot of questions about their judgment. these are documents the manhattan da's office has been seeking for many months. originally the u.s. attorney's office said they were not going to produce the documents. why the sudden change of heart? are they concerned what might happen in a trump presidency post election? it's something a lot of people are going to be asking questions about. really, there should be some answer that's given. i think ultimately the u.s. attorney's office needs to answer questions why they had a sudden change of heart that impacts a case that the entire public is watching in the lead in to this election. >> there will be questioned asked

alvin bragg, even alvin braggs office announced they were not going to pursue this ridiculous kind ofecution against president trump. threading in a federal offense is intrastate charging document to avoid a statute of limitation problem. d.o.j. then sent a high-level official to go work is alvin braggs right hand. as a senior advisor and lo and behold there office takes a change of course and decides to proceed on this case that relies on us entirely on the credibility of one michael cohen. there is a lot of probes about d.o.j. acting you do not have that character in the front office right now you have got a guy who o s behind jack smith. who appreciates very creative and i use that a pejorative term a prosecution against a sitting president or a former president and someone who is the number one contender against this administration. mark: and with the public to understand and attorney general couldncould seek intervention oy grounds including we don't agree with this local prosecutor's interpretation of the federal fl election act. we do not agree with the actions that are being t

we don't know what alvin bragg knew that the fed's had is the problem. >> but jeff, does that make sense to you? >> this is all so outrageous. you're all being very polite here. i mean, the us attorney's office in manhattan, the southern district, according to the manhattan da the da aster these documents last year and the us attorney's office for whatever reason, chose not to turn them over as a result, they only turn them over just very recently, which the da says is all the southern districts fall. why didn't the southern district cooperate with these fellow prosecutor? >> i mean, if it obviously alvin bragg, i would think would want to see any interviews that michael cohen gave and he >> asked for them and he asked for them. and the us attorney said no. and the us attorney apparently has thousands more records that they're going to turn over sometime in the future, which could lead to more delays. and by the way, once these records are turned over, you can be sure the defense is going to say, well, this raises a whole new set of issues. so we have to file more motions and asked for m

prosecutor alvin bragg, just made signaling he's open to delaying the trial less than two weeks before it's set to start >> and two options for you. take a look at it. >> when it's time for an update or complete remodels, want yourself there. >> so here guys thank down to the story about this with you, every step of the way from design and products to removal and installation. >> okay. >> what do you guys think? it is right? >> we handled the entire process to create a beautiful and functional bathroom for whatever your life needs. three bath with you. every step of the way. color visit rebuffed.com for your free in-home design consultation it's a new day >> one were are shared values propel us towards a more secure future through august of partnership built upon cutting-edge american it's trillion in british technologies will develop state-of-the-art next generation submarines and build something stronger together. security indicative of peace and prosperity for america and our allies. we are going forward and staying together for nearly a decade. i served in the navy supporting seal

according to the filing from alvin bragg more than a year ago, he asked for the full grand jury record relating to michael cowans campaign violations from ny, that included search warrant returns, really, he asked for a lot of this information, and they produced a subset of what he requested and they produced that as they should have, back in june of last year, now, in january, donald trump serves a subpoena for a lot of this material, and in march, a few weeks ago, sdny produced some materials that largely alvin bragg says are irrelevant other than a few hundred pages of witness statements but then yesterday, they produce another 30,000 pages of documents and alvin bragg said this is what i asked for more than a year ago. so there are real questions as to why, if he asked for it over a year ago it's getting produced less than two weeks from a trial date and that's not all. sdny also said that they have more to produce, and they are looking to make a production next week. this trial is scheduled for the 25th. you cannot be producing documents on the eve of trial. this prosecution happe

i think alvin bragg is really beginning to wear on other das across the country. they're afraid.hink the da there. , alvin bragg, is going to let them out. >> remember that angry press conference, we did it on the show, we talked about it, here in new york bragg's defiant. he is feeling the heat and he should. maria: all right. cheryl, thank you. it is the biggest voting day of the presidential primary to date. super tuesday is underway, polls are open across the country. the first polls opened across the east coast at 6:00 a.m. after the supreme court unanimously ruled to keep president trump on the 2024 primary ballot saying whether it's colorado or any other state, a state cannot decide a president's eligibility on the ballot. here's the 45 president respondg to the ruling yesterday. >> you can't take somebody out of the race. the voters can take a person out of the race very quickly. the court shouldn't do that. the supreme court saw that very well. maria: very well. in fact, it was unanimous, 9-0. joining me is former acting u.s. attorney general, matt whitaker. good to see

the morning in a new york city courtroom today and legal team pushed to delay district attorney alvin bragg's hush money case against him. the judge however, bill, denied that request and ruled the case starts on april 15th. going straight to eric sean live outside of the new york supreme court. what are we expecting to hear from the former president in just a few moments? reporter: well, we expect a victory lap from the former president because the new york state appellate court handed him a big victory and a win in his case here in new york city dealing with his real estate fraud bond. the appellate court basically stopped new york state attorney general letitia james cold in her attempts to potentially try and seize any of trump's assets and attorney general has no need now or at least in the next week or so to do that after the appellate court cut the huge bond by more than 68%. that means that james will not have -- be necessary for her to try and seize any of mr. trump's assets or any of the real estate holdings. this is what the appellate court did. as you know, there was that appellat

look at his attacks on alvin bragg. look at his attacks on letitia james and fanny willis. and contrast to the things that he said about jack smith. they're attacking his professional acumen. the other is their humanity and qualifications. all of those things are rooted in white nationalism and speak to the very point that willis was making about that intersection of race and gender. >> thank you for that well spoken reality check. i appreciate you and all of that. thank you, charles coleman. >> raking news from russia. numbers that you may not believe. >>> plus it cost $7 million and it made a lot of people mad. ma. >>> now the woman who helped pay for this rfk jr. campaign at might find her name at the top of the ticket here we are back in the seconds. seconds. that's a different story. i couldn't slow down. we were starting a business from the ground up. people were showing up left and right. and so did our business needs the chase ink card made it easy. when you go for something big like this, your kids see that. and they believe they can do the same. earn unlimited 1.5

the point is that alvin bragg asked for documents ages ago, and for whatever reason, d.o.j.y late in turning things over. what i can tell you is that when you get stuff and you turn it over to the defense in, you know, on the eve of trial or within a week or so of trial, delay is very likely to occur. and the reason i'm so concerned that the d.o.j. seems to be the one that for whatever reason was dragging its heels, we have yet to see the d.o.j. prosecute a single higher up member of the insurrection. it has slowed and derailed, at least 30 days, maybe longer. it has slowed the prosecution of a former president who is about to go to trial on march 25th. i very much look forward to what the u.s. attorney's office and the department of justice has to say about it, because i assume it will be all in that detailed timeline that alvin bragg's prosecutors and trump's defense attorneys present to judge marchand on march 25th. >> um, melissa, we have about 30 seconds left. do you think the new york case is still on track to go on trial before the november election? >> i think it's p

that's being brought by the manhattan district attorney, alvin bragg. could we see a decision from this judge any moment now, on a trial date puts yeah, i would actually expect that the judge is going to come back after this morning's arguments and set a trial date. the district attorney's offices said they would be okay with the 30 day delay to review this additional evidence. but the trump team is pushing for 90 days and things not going quite as well for the trump team here in this case this morning, the judge clearly skeptical of their accusation that the prosecutors conspired with federal investigators to withhold evidence and just release it in recent two weeks. and he really pushed the trump team to show proof or case law or something to support these serious accusations that they have made against the prosecutors here. so the judge, for a few times there he is his temper flared a little bit. his voice was raised, so he's clearly very skeptical of what the trump team who is alleging here. and it's important to know how much of this is relevant, r

here's alvin bragg basically making a case that they walked away from. so that does not shroud them in prosecutorial aggression and glory, which is where they preferred a base. >> so their response to that is to not give over evidence, which makes them look even worse. i mean, that's and that's why i don't think that that was the reason. i mean, you're going to turn it over now in response to a subpoena it's gonna look worse. i can't imagine they made that deliberate decision not to turn it over beforehand, but we'll maybe we'll know more when they show morgan before for the former president, this is a huge political win, delay, delay when, when, when dysfunction and it feeds into all the theories, all the all the fake news and conspiracy there as it is winding up anywhere that i mean, the truth is though this isn't the case, which i mean, we know this isn't the case when i went to trial, that was gonna be the case that >> that is at least from a political perspective, the one is going to help the opposition are people who are concerned about trump retur

not guilty, so all charges, this goes along with letitia james alvin bragg, i said before on air goingsomething better to do like clean up new york city than go after former president trump same things james went after him for? how much this is going to cost new york city taxpayers? just asking. maria: it is a question, all feeling impact of no consequences whatsoever for crime in new york city, sad situation, thank you cheryl casone meanwhile, is atin meeting with israel. >> said operations should not proceeded with a plan that down the -- the defense chief before that meeting. >> our security bond is unshakeableable united states closest, friend that won't change. >> over past six months, we have been -- fighting a war against a group of organization hamas, which is isis of gaza, hamas meeting with iran negotiator the picture is clear. >> joining me right now mar on this 70th secretary of state fox news contributor secretary mike pompeo thanks so much for being here. good morning great to be with you. maria: i mean all of this about rafah, israel, comes on the heels of comments from

>> first of all, we don't know yet what the communications were like between alvin bragg's office and office said, we asked last spring for a lot of the same records that they have now produced to us. we didn't get them then. we only got a subset of what we asked for. everything that we had we turned over to trump and his legal team at the time. they didn't complain. instead, they sat on it and did nothing until january when they served a subpoena on the southern district of new york. after some correspondence back and forth to convince the southern district that the requests they were making were relevant to the preparation of their defense did they then get what is now almost 120,000 pages of documents. why this happened i think is an outstanding question. when alvin bragg responds substantive to the motion that donald trump's team filed, we might have some more insight into that. their response on the underlying discovery violation motion is due next week. i want to emphasize to you, in terms of derailing this case, trump put in a letter today to the judge where they said, it's wel

so when alvin bragg is seeking his, no violation of trump's first amendment rights.ing cases so that the case is decided in court based on evidence, and not based on extrajudicial statements that are made -- public opinion. alvin bragg is asking for a very narrowly tailored order here, so it wouldn't prevent on trump from saying anything at all about the case, or even about alvin bragg himself, just preventing him from targeting witnesses -- >> we talk about the witnesses, retake of the, jurors and it comes a time when you have judge engoron being sent a white powder last week, and -- caused an emergency response. this takes year are very real when -- in this case. you point out to me, trump -- real attorneys in this case, and legal arguments. >> yes, so one of the things that we are going to see march 25th when the new york criminal case starts and all sorts of cases we have, seen we have talked about the delay and all these other criminal cases. this one is going. one of the things that is really great to see and from people like -- who have many criminal prosecuto

alvin bragg said in his filing today, look, i asked the u.s. attorney's office for all this stuff last year. they gave me a subset of what i asked for. trump waited until january. issued a subpoena of his own. and lo and behold, very recently gets back. it is now hundreds of thousands of pages of documents including some of the very same stuff i asked for and didn't get. i can't explain this. but because i can't, i will agree to an adjournment. >> after the u.s. attorney's office provided 73,000 pages of discovery. his office's initial review were largely irrelevant. they had produced about 31 pages of additional records. an additional production would follow next week. this came after trump issued that subpoena. this will delay this trial it looks like. we will get the month delay. >> we'll see. but think the judge will agree. >> the trial will probably go forward. >> and the judge, he is the one judge we have seen who is not playing games herement he has kept tight control over his courtroom and his courtroom calendar. she lost the ability to

and what happened is that trump had accused the prosecutors, manhattan district attorney alvin bragg,ery violations. he went so far as to say there was prosecutorial misconduct. and the judge utterly rejected that today. the court said essentially, why are we here. because he said that the allegations were no semblance to what had actually happened. in fact, trump's lead attorney in this case had spent several years, had spent 13 years in the same federal prosecutor's office . the judge pointed out, knew the rules and procedures. the prosecutor, alvin bragg, had slammed this as delay tactics, and it was very clear that the judge agreed. the significance of this writ large is that we are -- seem to be headed very headlong into the historic first criminal trial of a former u.s. president. ben: and we just saw the former president donald trump. he didn't look too bothered. he is facing lots of legal challenges, as we know. and the other one, in the other decision today, it was decided he has got to pay a lot less in terms of that bond. it was going to be half $1 billion or so, almost of

the idea that it sent clearly took alvin bragg buy supplies. at the very least, if you thought you had a huge cache of documents you would call up the d.a. and say you know what? we just found, or something. it is clear that did not happen. to me -- >> that is part of it, too. donald trump has been saying throughout all of these investigations, and now these indictments, that all of these various law enforcement officials are working in tandem. this is a collusive effort to selectively prosecute him. this makes clear that that is not the case. the southern district of new york is not working. clear wildly dysfunctional, not correlating anything. please complete this function but certainly not the collusion that he has applied. >> a great defense, of course. >> so dysfunctional that they can be colluding. but andrew, i got to push back a little bit. i'm not suggesting that merrick garland was the puppeteer of dropping one thousand people piece of the paper but i do think this is a week where robert hur has gone to the hill with this highly contr

i was out for a little bit and one of the things i am catching up on his alvin bragg's case, which is about trump allegedly having sex with a star file married and then allegedly paying money to cover it up so it did not come out ahead of an election. this is about two single people who had a relationship in the middle of prosecuting an ex- president. it feels like sometimes we stare so closely at the trees that we miss the forest. >> yes, exactly right, nicole. this is a distraction because it does not touch the core allegations in this case. none of the issues at stake in judge macv's ruling today bear in any way upon the charged conduct of the defendants. this is a separate issue. it is, however, a legitimate issue because prosecutors have a higher duty. judge macv goes on for pages in his opinion about the fact that prosecutors are held to a very high ethical standards and they can't have any actual or apparent conflicts of interest, and there are ethical rules to this effect. prosecutors are held to a higher standard in this issue of a relationship between the district attorney a
