got reporting out of the guardian newspaper today, shown how wide ranging and serious the charges da willis is planning to bring against trump -- how serious they could be. the guardians hugo wall reports that willis has developed evidence to charge a sprawling racketeering or rico indictment next month. now, i should note that nbc news has not independently confirmed that reporting. but we do know that da willis really likes bringing rico cases. earlier this year, she pointed out to the washington post that she had brought more rico indictments in her first 20 months in office than the fulton county office had brought in the past ten years. and i know when you hear racketeering, or rico, you probably think of gangs, or the mafia. but rico cases are a lot broader than that. a criminal enterprise can be, really, entity any enterprise committing crimes. for example, back in 2014, fulton county brought a rico case against a group of 35 public school teachers and principals in a cheating scandal. all but one of those educators either pleaded guilty or were found guilty of changing student answe

trump's lawyers moved to disqualify fulton county da fani willis.on county superior court that the special grand jury investigation was, quote, confusing, flawed and, at times blatantly unconstitutional. and since then, little has happened. for about three months, there has not been a ruling. and now we are just over two weeks away from the start of the time period that dea da willis laid out. highlighted here are the day she could possibly file a criminal indictment against donald trump. and, as a result, trump's team is acting with, shall we say, greater urgency. today, trump's lawyers filed petitions into georgia courts, that's a in fulton county superior court they filed a petition in last march, and the georgia supreme court, which is the states highest court. and the point of these petitions was to ask for the same faith again, who shut down fani willis's investigation. team trump argues that her probe was unconstitutional, and causes, quote, injuries to trump as he seeks his party's nomination for the presidency. trump also wants to forbid th

so da willis poses a problem for special counsel smith. da willis has signaled she anticipates announcing an indictment, potentially as early as july 31st, that gives special counsel smith 11 business days to make his own announcement, assuming he wants to make it first. that is not the only calendar that jack smith has to worry about. there has been endless speculation about what the upcoming presidential election calendar will mean for smith's prosecutorial decisions. today, we finally heard about the matter for the man himself. earlier this week, in jack smith's other case against trump, for trump's alleged mishandling of classified documents, team trump asked the judge to postpone the trial and that case until after the 2024 election. today, jack smith's team responded, saying team trump, and their arguments, had no basis in law or fact. and that the complications of a presidential candidates trial or actually reasons to start the process sooner rather than later. one wonders if that might apply to a certain other federal trump investi

to bring an indictment, da willis needs the approval of a regular grand jury, like the two that were seated today which happened and the timeline remains unclear, when might they issue an indictment? earlier this year, we listened a letter to the fulton county sheriff, allerting him to the need for heightened vigilance and security between today and september 1st. because at some point in that timeframe and the day will announce her charging decision in this case. now two months ago willis got even more specific. telling the chief judge of the superior court that the staff will be marking remotely from july 31st to august 18th and that she is requesting fulton county judges do not schedule in-person hearings during that time. the idea with that seems to be keep the amount of people of the courthouse to a minimum for their safety. in case, say, people are riled up over, i don't know? a big deal criminal indictment. so here are the dates these grand juries are empaneled. here are the dates that fani willis has indicated that she is likely to indict. do you see the overlap? this is all

at least one of the two grand juries and that da willis has empanel down in fulton county

today the guardian newspaper is reporting that fulton county da fani willis has in recent weeks weighed statues i wish to charge trump. and they are, solicitation to commit election fraud, conspiracy to commit election fraud, solicitation to destroy ballots, solicitation of a public officer to fail to perform duties. now, an example of soliciting a public officer to fail to perform duties could be president trump calling the georgia secretary of state, brad raffensperger, and ask mr. raffensperger to find 11,780 votes so that trump could win the state. experts also think the former president have legal exposure under the conspiracy statutes, for the steps his campaign took to replace legitimate electors with 16 fake trump electors. so with me is andrew weissmann, former justice department prosecutor, joining me now is michael moore, former us attorney for the middle district of the state of georgia. michael let me start with you, the word solicitation and the word conspiracy sound alarming. what do you make of these potential statutes and how difficult or how uphill a battle fani willis

and all this grows even more fraught if fulton county da willis indict trump next month as some speculate or if jack smith and i him again. in a friday filing the trump lawyers moved to dismiss the georgia case on many grounds including the leading the investigation proceeded which led to a violation of his fundamental constitutional rights while he seeks his party's nomination for the presidency of the united states. here's a possibility. a former american president might soon be facing indictment in four different cases, to state, to federal, in the midst of his bid to reclaim the white house. if recent history is precedent, that status might move them closer to winning his party's nomination. but it will not that any juryetmines his fate before the american people do. i want to know what you think. answer this week's poll question, will donald trump face any trial before election day 2024. joining me to discuss senior analyst ellie koenig, he's a federal prosecutor. is there any such thing as too close to the election when it comes to setting an actual trial date? >> there is, there's

regular court calendar in terms of the terms of court and so we have known for quite some time that da willis has had two grand juries operating at the same time, to regular grand juries, and so we will see which one of these that will be tomorrow, we'll be hearing evidence as it relates to the information gathered by the special grand jury. which we all know could included their work lasts to somber, and we had a preview into some of their charges, and at least the breadth of the investigation from the foreperson of the grand jury earlier this year. >> just to clarify, this news about two grand juries, does it indicate to you that one of these grand jurors will be hearing the possible evidence against donald trump and the other grand jury will just be doing what we would call the regular grand jury business of fulton county on other issues that come along? >> i think that is right, based on my recollection, d a willis asked for two grand jury's a little over a year ago, almost a year and a half ago, to help work through some of the backlog of the cases that she inherited. so the fact that th

we need to wait and see what indictments, if any, da willis is able to obtain.ctments and what charges come forth, if any. so, it is interesting to see all of this play out when there is really is no indictment upon which to base many of these arguments. >> can donald trump try to take this case into the federal courts? >> i think anything is possible. again, what we saw here, was him and his lawyers, his legal team, attempting, as the court said, the supreme court said, to circumvent the regular process of first addressing these issues in fulton county supreme court. since this was a strategic move to, again, go to a higher court as this court has said, the legal authority to do so. i think it remains to be seen how far the defense team will go to get yet another higher review of these issues. >> we are going to have to have you referee the possible traffic jam between jack smith and fani willis on another evening, the possible intersection of those two prosecutions overlapping. gwen keyes fleming, thank you very much for joining us tonight, we appreciate it. >

and da willis will do what's legally correct. >> catherine christian, thank you so much for joining mening all of this to me this evening. i really appreciate it. and still ahead -- the behavior -- special prosecutor's latest indictment of donald trump is well enough to make richard nixon blush, or that's my theory. we'll where those parallels begin and where they end? we will talk about it next. e an fda-approved medication for adults with insomnia. and i'm glad i found it. you wouldn't believe some of the things people suggested to help me sleep. nature sounds? ahh, no thanks. my friend's white-noise idea. nope. and i'm not counting sheep. not on the... carpet. insomnia can impact both my days and my nights. so i know how important a good night's sleep is. that's why i take quviviq nightly. maybe i should tell them how it works, taye? quviviq works differently than medications you may have taken in the past. it's thought to target one of the biological causes of insomnia: overactive wake signals. and when taken every night, studies showed sleep continued to improve over time. do not

now jack smith and fulton county da, panelly willis will be the last time i saw it here.llowed by the electoral count act of 18 87 and the first amendment. this is law fair to take out trump. >> trace: the former president said this on fox a short time ago. watch. >> it seems that every time my polls -- you know, we're leading by a lot, in a place walled iowa. a lot. >> and not only were the running backs leading against biden, they haven't seen anything like it. >> trace: yeah. final thoughts on this i beening mike, very quickly. >> reporter: we are 30 months out of trump lieding office, why not? and that could be because james comer has evidence that could have biden compromised. >> trace: the timing is always a little curious. mike davis great to have you on as always, thank you. >> thank you. >> meantime as we reported many times on this show crime in san francisco is a major exodus of major retailers and the ones staying open are taking drastic measures to keep the shoplifters at bay including this wall green's which is now using chains in its freezer section. marian

that it ought to be a factor, but you have to believe it's entered the mind of the fulton county da, fani willis she indites him, those numbers could go up even higher. time will tell. jack smith still seems to be aggressively pursuing other leads. there could be multiple indictments still to come. >>> i want to remind you to answer this week's poll question at smerconish.com. it pertains to homelessness. which is more cruel and unusual, fining the homeless or leaving them alone? >>> still to come, as soon as the supreme court put an end to affirmative action in college applications, a lawsuit was filed to end legacy admissions at harvard. i get it. but i'm also wary of ending the practice and i'm going to explain. just the three of us girls. i never thought twice about feeding her kibble. but about two years ago, i realized she was overweight. she was always out of breath. that's when i decided to introduce the farmer's dog to her diet. it's just so fresh that she literally gets bubbles in her mouth. now she's a lot more active, she's able to join us on our adventures. and we're all able to do

, could come as early as the end of this week, ari melber -- and as we wait for fulton county da fani willisent of trump for election-related charges in the state of georgia, charges that, by the way, are likely to come at the beginning of next month, and as we wait for the judge in trump's mar-a-lago classified documents case to set a trial date promptly -- as we wait for all of that, which is a lot of waiting -- i cannot stop thinking about all this. last, week in the new york times reporting on the special counsel's mar-a-lago case, a source familiar with the matter told the times that jack smith's team has not just been asking questions about mar-a-lago, but about other trump own properties in florida, like trump's golf clubs in doral and jupiter. so, even with all of this on his plate, jack smith is still investigating. we could have even more indictments, potentially even superseding indictments against existing defendants still to come. how do all of these cases lined up with each other? and what exactly is the order of operations here? there is no better person to ask that the two ge

welcome news to trump, who just filed a petition into georgia courts seeking to, one, disqualify da fani willis for investigating him for election interference, and two, squash the -- recommended diamonds in the matter. joining me now are cynthia alksne, an msnbc legal analyst, and former federal prosecutor, former congressman david jolly, msnbc political analyst, and former congresswoman donna edwards, and msnbc political analyst list and washington post columnist. cynthia, let's begin with you. this is like race for the mail for prosecutors looking at this. what are the implications of jack smith's team reaching out to all the secretaries of states around the country. does that say something about the idea of his investigation taking a wider scope than we have first thought? >> i think we thought for a long time that the january 6th investigation was going to be pretty broad, because we are trying to bring in the whole fake electors -- and it appears they are trying to bring in the whole fake electors scandal. there's something really important, and i think our viewers need to understand. as

but before that, da fani willis is working from home period visually gains in fulton county, georgia. and it's just it's the most likely timeframe in which willis will announce charging decisions in our election interference investigation. tomorrow, mar-a-lago property manager and new trump codefendant carles de olivera is set to be a rain in a classified documents case in miami. that is if he can find a lawyer. according to the superseding indictment, all of the oliveira among other allegations helped move boxes that contain classified information for trump and told the employee that quote, the boss wanted security footage deleted to prevent it from being turned over to a federal grand jury. but as we look ahead towards trump's growing legal crisis, we don't want to look over the revelations of that superseding indictment. because we learned new details about how trump's homes in mar-a-lago and in bedminster played legal roles leading roles in this crime drama. lisa reuben put it, between january 2021 and august of 2022 when the fbi conducted its court authorized search of mar-a-lago

deliberations are expected to go on for the next couple of days. go on for the next couple of da s. . , . days. david willis a - days. david willis there. we l will be back injust a moment with the top business stories. in particular we will be looking at the members of nato and their commitment to defence spending. i will see you in just a moment. hello, there. there's no real change in our weather patterns coming our way any time soon, and that means it stays unsettled. loads more showers in the forecast, as we'll see in a moment. for monday, we have some heavy downpours come through, starting off across parts of northern ireland, before spreading to scotland, and as they worked through threave, brought 15 millimetres of rain in a space ofjust an hour, really torrential rain. that's a bit more than half an inch of rain injustan hour. now, those heavy bursts of rain are working northeastwards at the moment. the rain will ease as we head towards dawn, but at the same time, we'll see some heavy rain pop up across the midlands, running into lincolnshire and east anglia, as well. still quite warm and humid acr

so it's possible that doj gets together with alvin bragg the da in manhattan maybe fauni willis in georgia. they may say we're the doj, we need to go first, get ours in first. of course jack smith can work with his own team. >> we may get a date in a few hours from aileen cannon from the judge in florida for the new date for a trial. >> absolutely she may set a date and trump may try to use the news as a reason you shaould no set a deate. >> as a nonlawyer i'm intrigued at the rabbit trails we went down in a few minutes. we haven't mentioned a single ounce of having to run for president what that takes, the efforts it takes. we can talk about small dollar donations but at the end of the day, running for president is so hard and we're making this so much more difficult than we need to as republicans. say somebody showed up for a job interview and you answered the question anything going on in your life? i have a couple of state and federal indictments but i got it all figured out, i'll be at work 8:00 to 5:00, whether you're a teacher, bus driver, subway worker it doesn't matter. it shouldn

with fani willis, the dea da there -- expand on that and what happens if there is no accountability forn the election. >> well, essentially, trump tried to overturn the constitution. richard nixon corruptly use instruments of the government, but he wasn't on a mission to overturn the constitution itself. that's what trump tried to do, and it's worth noting, he has said that he intends if he is reelected to terminate aspects of the constitution. which is a stunning statement, and i've learned as we went into this investigation, to pay attention to what trump says. because it's what he intends to do. he intends to -- he said, terminate parts of the constitution. and he's been very overt about taking to the presidency authorities that don't belong to that branch of government. really, it's a very ominous set of predictions that he's making, should he be elected. i think we ought to pay-elect attention to it, i think he means what he says. >> let me ask you about what we played earlier in the. show i'm not sure if you heard it. but it was on trump an interview saying he is now going to stop

willis's criminal investigation into trump's efforts to overturn the election in georgia. last night, georgia's top court unanimously rejected trump's last ditch effort to shut down that investigation. the da has set a timetable for announcing potential indictments for the coming weeks. in new york, the ex president is facing a trial early next year. in his 34 count felony indictment by the manhattan district attorney alvin bragg over a hush money payment scheme that involved falsifying business records during the 2016 election. and all of that is just donald trump's potential criminal exposure. on the civil livid litigation front, he is facing multiple lawsuits, including one brought by the new york state attorney general that accuses trump and his business of staggering fraud. that case heads to trial in october. trump's former fixer, michael cohen, is also suing him on paying legal fees relating to cohen's 2019 congressional testimony. jury selection has just started in that case. back in may, the ex president was found liable for defamation and sexual assault, and ordered to pay the writer e. jean carroll $5 million. but his defamation trouble does not end there. in june, a federal jud
