benny hill! yeah, yeah. really? sort of looking for benny hill—mr bean type jokes, rather than the more kind of surreal monty python stuff? yes. he sings for over 25 years, i only thought about him as a comedian, a professional comedian, a good one, quite popular in ukraine, but nothing more. yarema dukh is a political consultant and used to work for zelensky�*s predecessor as president, petro poroshenko. in ukrainian entertainment business, volodomyr zelensky was a huge star. i think he had like 95%—plus of recognition among average ukrainians, so i would say that everybody knew him. a big star but unashamedly populist, too, and very much not to the taste of yaroslav hrytsak, a historian at lviv�*s catholic university. i would say that most intellectuals would not hear or listen to him that much. it was the much broader public. for what, kind of smuttyjokes? some of them very smutty and some you may say you wouldn't show to your kids under 18, so to say. pop music plays. but he was recognisable, he was nude playing

hill. chairman bennie thompson telling reporters, there will be criminal referrals from the january 6 committee in the weeks ahead to the justice department. >>> good day, everyone. i'm andrea mitchell in washington. after more than a year of campaigns and an expenditure of 400 million plus dollars, voters in georgia are back at the polls for one last time today. at stake, whether democrats will have a clear senate majority or be stuck in the 50/50 split that gave the republican party equal seats on all committees and the ability to delay key votes. joining me now, steve kornacki at the big board, vaughan hillyard and here with me in washington, kristin welker. and mark murray. steve, take us through what we should be watching for tonight and what the runoff electorate in georgia may be telling us about what to expect today. >> the backdrop for tonight, here is the general election result back in november. warnock did finish a point ahead of herschel walker. warnock was about a little more than 20,000 more votes, if he picked up a little bit more than 20,000 more, we wouldn't be in the runoff.

virtually to discuss this plan to issue criminal deferrals committee chairman, benny thompson, told reporters on capitol hill last week the question isn't if the committee will make criminal referrals but, how many. it is also uncertain right now who may be the subject of those criminal referrals. those are the important details that the committee will discuss, presumably during his meeting today. donald trump is an obvious target. the panel could also issue referrals for any of his associates whom it believes may have been involved in the planning and coordination of the attempted coup on january 6th. criminal referrals from congress hold no legal way the justice department has the sole power to file charges. but, criminal referrals offer the committee to chance to communicate why it thinks filing charges, criminal charges, is not only important but necessary the fact that the committee had now decided to issue criminal referrals is an interesting development in enough itself some members of the committee previously expressed skepticism about the necessity of doing that. maryland congressman, jamie raskin,

this up >> and we are joined from capitol hill the committee is suggesting there could be other referrals issued on monday >> reporter: that's right. chairman bennie thompson says five to six different types of referrals for othertargets are also being considered. for ethics violations, as well as legal misconduct. jose >> reporting from washington thank you. and nbc news will have live coverage of the committee's final presentation monday at 1:00 p.m. eastern, 10:00 a.m. pacific. >>> and now to the crisis, the humanitarian crisis at the border and a controversial trump-era policy set to end within days following a court ruling friday night. officials now fear illegal crossings at the border could grow far worse monica alba has more >> reporter: tonight restrictions that have kept hundreds of thousands of migrants from seeking asylum at the southern border set to expire in days after a d.c. court of appeals ruled against a group of 19 republican-leaning states friday that wanted to maintain the trump-era policy known as title 42. the public health rule was implemented in march, 2020, in response to the covid pandemic since then migrants have been

hill, the committee in its public hearings was remarkably unified. the democrats and republicans working very well together. it seems as if especially with benniempson the chairman saying there will be referrals and the committee trying to clean it up are we seeing in the end getting to the finish line, there are more divides and debates among the members but they exist? >> reporter: i think we're seeing sometimes we see the chairman get a little bit further ahead of where the rest of the committee may be ready to be on public announcements. i think they had this meeting scheduled for later today. i think the other committee members were expected to go in and continue the discussion about criminal referrals but, look, i think that this is something that they have made clear they want to do as a unified committee. that when it comes to criminal referrals, whoever they may decide to put on that list, they clearly want to put a unified front forward and i think that's essentially why we're getting so few details about who was on the list, what provide tension crimes are on the list and want to present a united front when it comes to that final doc

bennie thompson, the democrat from mississippi, writing, "donald trump lit that fire, but in the weeks beforehand, the kindling he ultimately ignited was amassed in plain sight." nbc news capitol hill correspondent ryan nobles is joining us now. ryan, i know you're done the deep dive on this. one of the eight chapters focuses on the trump team's attempts to pressure state election officials. take us through some of the key points of the findings here. >> reporter: yeah, and what's remarkable about this report, aaron, is that they don't just make the claims. they have the physical numbers to back it up. for instance, they say that trump and his team had at least 200 different acts of outreach to state officials. that included 68 meetings, calls, or texts, 18 public remarks, 125 social media posts, and that the trump campaign contacted nearly 200 state legislators in some of these key cities or key states, i should say, that played the bulk of their efforts to overturn the election results. and adam schiff on msnbc earlier today talked about how important it was for them to compile all this evidence. >> with all of the focus on the attack that day, let's not forget about the insurrec

hill. manu, you just spoke with the chairman of the house select committee democratic congressman bennie thompson him about the criminal referrals that we expect to see the committee adopt today formally. i asked him how quickly will they send those over to the justice department to officially refer donald trump and others for criminal action. he said, quote, shortly after we take care of business today, is when they plan to send those referrals to the justice department. now, i also asked him about whether there are any plans for meetings with the special counsel jack smith. he said, quote, no plans as of yet. now, we do know, of course, the justice department has wanted the treasure trove of evidence that this committee has collected over the past year and a half. some of which they have or stained. other documents they do want as well. so, we expect that information sharing to begin. especially when the transcripts begin to be released as soon as later this week. news here they expect the committee to move pretty quickly and send the criminal referrals over to the justice department and it wil
