. >> reporter: according to the bureau of justice statistics, in 2017, meek was just one of a stagging 4.5 million people under parole or probation supervision in the u.s., a third of them were african-americans. >> this is the life of the black man. there's two americas. you've got a america where cops -- they'll smack you in your face with a pistol so fast. doing horrendous crimes and getting away with it. and that's just on our side of -- of america. >> and as he always said to me, it was fascinating, he'd be like, "michael, there's two americas." i'd be like, "meek, there's not." he'd be like, "michael, there's america and there's black america." i've got to tell you something. he was right, and i was wrong. >> so while the rapper sat in prison serving his two to four-year sentence for a probation violation, an investigator looking into his original conviction was about to make a discovery that could change everything. >>> how solid was the case against 19-year-old meek mill? a key witness comes under scrutiny. coming up -- >> the only witness against meek was the police officer wh

those situations where you have the government saying we're giving it we're gathering it the bureau of justice it isn't saying no we're not going to turn it over so how do you ever really advocate for a new set of polls he's done when you don't understand what is happening i mean we know more about deaths of civilians in iraq and we know about deaths of our own civilians within our jails and that is outrageous. and are there couldn't i couldn't put it better we know that these deaths many of them are preventable 1st off with better protocols against abuse health assessments corrective action from the work that you do have you written or supported any model legislation or policy framework so around this issue and what are your thoughts on things that we can change. well 1st yes i do sort of pay. or with tracing mirrors and you know law school that basically argues that nobody should be incarcerated in jail without severe due process just because they can't afford bail and even this idea that all we're going to keep people in jail because there are risks to the community most that kind of bold t

of december 31. the census bureau indicating they might not even make that deadline because of the delays surrounding this pandemic. it seems like the supreme court justices not only skeptical about the constitutionality of this plan, but they also don't feel like they maybe want to give a ruling to block or not block donald trump's plan, because they think they may not have to, because this might spill over into joe biden's term. monte: shifting to a different subject, president trump has been waging court battles against the election -- not successfully, we might add. he has largely been out of public view. what has he been up to the final weeks of his presidency? reporter: it does not seem like the president of the united states is very focused on governing right now. of course, this was thanksgiving weekend, so it is usually a downtime even for the white house. the president, when he was speaking to troops across the world for his thanksgiving address, he also held an impromptu small press conference. and he has split his weekend between his golf course in virginia and spending time with his family at camp david. other than that, we have not really se

the president claimed bizarrely that the federal bureau of investigation or the department of justice might have been somehow involved in rigging the election. bizarre, because the president hand-picked the men who lead both the doj and the fbi. the president once again said dead people voted in the election, thousands of them. he said mailmen were involved in destroying mail-in ballots. and he also indicated that in his view, there were glitches in election machines that flipped the election to joe biden. this, of course, an allegation that has been around for a while. the head of the republican national committee said she just wasn't going to go there. listen. >> machine s switching the vote and we go there in crazy numbers and they should have won, but then -- >> yeah, we didn't see that in the audit, so we've got to -- that evidence, we haven't seen, so we'll wait and see on that. >> reporter: the president also claimed that judges are not allowing evidence of fraud into court, but the fact of the matter is, the president's lawyers have lost more than 30 cases around the country,

of the 4 million or so from the count would be enough to take the seat away from one or speculationand that we havepoint and repeated representations from the census bureau and the department of justice that they have been working on this since july 2019 and they are now starting to tell us about the categories that they will be able to identify in. if there turns out to be a problem, there isn't enough here to be the basis for any judicial action good it is speculation that they won't be able to do it at this point. so it seems to me it would make sense -- it might make sense for this court to a couple of weeks and find out if there is more information that would shed some light on this question. >> thank you, general. matter ofs a speculation whether they are going to be able to include or exclude, why isn't that a standing problem now? if we must rule now? as i understand it, they can't use statistical standings and they will have to match detention records or docket records against the enumeration in the census. at the present, they tell us they might not be able to do more than the aliens in the i. c.e. centers which could be thousands it may not affect the portion at all. >> th

bureau of investigation. then we watched the whole department of justice go through what i think was a very political effort tosmissed. it's very expected. it's consistent with what we've seen the president do. nevertheless, i think it is disappointing. >> nick, you're one of a group of prosecutors who had been pushing the judge in this case to not throw it out. what do you think of this? >> i think you have to look at the big picture here. the big picture is that this is part of the continuing coverup of donald trump's efforts to conceal what happened between his campaign in 2016 with the russian government. it started with jim comey, his firing because he refused to basically give an oath of loyalty to donald trump. it continued when robert mueller was appointed, the continuing threats of firing mueller and his staff. it continued with roger stone who w-- his sentence was commuted. other than donald trump there were three key people that dealt with russia during the campaign and were knowledgeable about the campaign's situation with the russian government. that was general flynn, it was roger stone and it wa

attorneys, barr says he'll forgo the general practice of the justice department's election crimes bureauch would be to wait until after election results are certified to investigate fraud claims. now shortly after announcing that policy change, the justice official who oversees the election crimes branch quit his post in protest. let's get more from nbc news national security and intelligence correspondent ken dilanian. hey, ken. first, help us understand why attorney general barr's move is being taken as such a big deal here. >> hey, chris. it's a big deal because it's a basic principle at the justice department that they should not take investigative or prosecutorial action that interferes in an election. they don't take action within a certain number of days before an election but that also extends to after an election, until now, that is. the rule was you don't take action until the results are certified. you don't investigate in a way the public can see until the election is certified because they were afraid even news of an investigation could impact how the states decide the resul

interest if the fbi would get any evidence that would come before the bureau but as of right now, it's not happening. this also is the justiceepartment has been rather silent on any potential investigations. that being said, team trump is pushing forward rate as of now, there are several lawsuits as we just heard about in different states outstanding legal challenges in georgia, nevada, michigan and pennsylvania arthel, team trump says and no intention to let these go anytime soon. big defeat for the president yesterday and penciling out when a longtime conservative republican judge actually member of the federalist society ruled against the president attempt to stop the syndication of ballots. the president team continues to argue widespread fraud specifically when referring to the dominion voting system but there is no evidence to back up that claim when we've seen pennsylvania republican senator pat toomey out with a statement yesterday quote, with today's decision by judge matthew brown a longtime conservative republican whom i know to be a fair and unbiased jurors to dismiss the campaign's lawsuit president trump has ex

justice. >> you told me a couple of things. one is that you and your ministry is called ministry. you don't call it an office or bureau or program. the second thing you do and insisted on informing me is that it is a ministry of president. help us understand those things. >> when i say presence i mean we need to be present when we meet people and have a congregation with people we can be offender or victim. we need to be present and be accompanying families in the process of their journey in recovery whether there inside a prison or jail or it is a person that has lost a family member in violence. >> as i look at what you do in your mission statement, it does seem you acknowledge there is a relationship between the offender and the victim and maybe the relationship did not exist before, they didn't know each other but now they are in a relationship. i know nothing about this except what you are going to tell us. the relationship is there and it needs some kind of acknowledgment and attending. that is what you let people understand? >> yes. the relationship is there. it brings two parts together. that is what restorati

of the most scandalous. it was a massive oil scandal. a huge scandal with the veterans bureau. and the attorney general in the justice department complicit in everything from bootlegging, fight fixing, stop manipulation. there were sort of suicides within the ranks, and fishing murders. it was a nasty justice department. and a very corrupt attorney general. harding dies an important -- enormous popular, man and coolidge is the only accidental presidency to us any acidity with less than a year to go before a presidential election of 1924. so, coolidge knows what the harding administration was all about. and he is terrified the scandals are in a raid on his watch. the republicans are gonna lose in 1920, foreign powers gonna be handed over to the democrats. so he has a very self reflective moment where he recognizes that he's quite, boring and that he's a nonentity. there's many stories about tr coolidge, my favorite one is where he's at the hotel in the hotel is on fire and he is told that he needs to evacuate, and he says but i'm vice president, and they say ok then you can stay. and many turn around and say the vice

justice is being served. more on the story with malcolm webb who is in our nairobi bureau and in kenya today. that list of things which i list right out there, i mean what an extraordinary number of awful crimes. tell us more about that story and how it's got to this point. what a lot of the charges relate to a series of attacks that can topple into barry who is known locally as shaq and his militia carried out 10 years ago. that was in 2010, but it was the following year 2011, that a un investigation documented a lot of these crimes. and that was when an arrest warrant was 1st, put out for shekhar, but he remained at large for another 6 years after that not say yet, 2011. even campaigned for public office he ran, he ran in the congress election to try to get a seat in the national assembly. he campaign rallies in front of police officers. he was a sea moving around by un peacekeeping troops, but it was only to hears later that he surrendered himself. the u.n. peacekeepers. that's when this military trial began. it's lasted for 2 years and ended up with his conviction today. so, well, some victims' rights

veterans bureau, breaks in february, and, then, just two months after this trip, which is taken with attorney general dougherty and his companion, who was sort of a dollar a year man at the justice department, it's discovered that smith was involved in the illegal trafficking of confiscated liquor during prohibition and he commits suicide. he was a very close friend of theirs. and so you can understand that by the time they are leaving a month later for alaska, mrs. harding has a lot of dark clouds over her. here she is at a fair helping to promote some of the textiles that were made by the disabled veterans up at walter reed. it was evelyn mclean, actually, who first introduced mrs. harding to the men returning from the front who were being treated at walter reed. and here she is at walter reed with i believe he was a blind veteran of that first world war. she referred to them as "my boys," and tying in with the squalls, the lemon mint squalls, mrs. harding started these big garden parties every spring. she had a series of them. and one of the biggest and the most important to her was the garden party for the wounded veterans, wounded and disabled veterans from walter reed. and
