and how must have denied the claim. c, d w 's tanya claim is following the story for us in jerusalem. she had to be stopped, died on the situation at the ashi for hospital, as well as the side of the army announced tonight that they found the body of a hostage near the ship hospital. a woman in her sixty's. she's from the keyboard. so busy was taking their knock tobar sevens during the terror attacks. but they also said that they have been still operating in the hospital with target to a searches, as they put it, as they described it, building by building searching. you know, this complex, it's a, it's a very large compound, one of the not it's the largest hospital in garza. and so they're still researching there. they start at this rate early on a wednesday morning and it's still continuing. now how's the officials in the hospital have said that the situation is catastrophic, cuz this is going on my patients and medical stuff. and of course also a lot of internally displaced people that have been seeking shelter. there are still in th

meanwhile, judge tanya chutkan denied trump's attempts to subpoena what he called, missing records from six committee. the election interference case. the judge called it a fishing expedition. with me tonight, former federal prosecutor and msnbc legal analyst -- what do you make of donald trump's attorneys saying if he can't be blamed for the threats, and the harassment that the georgian has to final facing? >> you know, simone, i make the same thing of that claim that the court judges made when donald trump's defense attorneys one week ago today, argued to the court in washington d. c., i was in court for the oral argument, they said donald trump did not directly threaten anyone, and charge -- got very animated and she said, and i quote, there is a clear pattern here. donald trump issue statements and threats follow. so it feels to me, simone, like the judges have already moved beyond that hollow claim that donald trump is not responsible for these threats. the question remains, you know, what kind of a gag order will they approve, and return to the child with a direction to reimpose?

in another they argue judge tanya chutkan should deny the former president's request to pause the trial's progress until he rules on his claim of presidential immunity. so barbara, amid the flurry of responses yesterday, the only motion to dismiss that is ready for a ruling is that one, trump's claim of presidential immunity. can you explain what that is and if you believe he has any chance to win it? >> yes, the argument is because he was president at the time he is immune from being prosecuted for any crimes at. essentially this is the richard nixon line of when the president does it, it's not illegal. of course that's an absurd argument. the president does have wide berth to do his job and should not be prosecuted for anything within the scope of his job duties. but as the prosecution argued not only is it illegal but what he's doing itself is beyond the scope of the president. states have the duty of administering their elections. it is not part of the president's duties to interfere with their elections. so i think that's a ludser. but the reason they're asking for the prompt disposi

me ask you this question, and then the last because you reported on friday judge tanya chutkan issued that order denying donald trump's demand to strike mentions of the january 6th incide from his federal election inteerence trial. it's set to go to trial injust over three months. what else can you tell us about this ruling? >> yeah, this is an important ruling, ultimately what she decided here was that because the jurors are actually going to receive the indictment directly, they're gonna receive her instructions, this doesn't really ultimately matter. but given the video and the audiotape that we saw come out in jonathan carl's book, in connection with that with this week, which shows that donald trump knew the power that he had over the crowd, this is going to be a very important part of jack smith's case. showing that donald trump knew how he could influence this group, and didn't do much during that violence. they're basically, what they're saying is, this violence was part of the ultimate plot, alex. it's gonna play a crucial role in this upcoming trial. when it starts in march. as you mentioned.

and both denied that accusation for our troops is going to go down to our correspond to tanya kramer. she is on the story for us tonight from jerusalem to tanya is really army, the israeli army is reportedly still at this hospital in gauze. busy what's the latest on the situation there? while as you say, the i'm, you know, it's tonight that they found the body of a hostage near the ship, a hospital, a woman in her sixty's. she's from to keep boots of busy was taking their knocked tobar sevens during the terror attacks. but they also said that they have been still operating in the hospital with target to a searches as they put it, as they described it, building by building searching. you know, this complex, it's a, it's a very large compound one. if they're not, it's the largest hospital in gaza and so they're still searching though they start at this rate early on a wednesday morning and it's still continuing. now, how's the officials in the hospital have said that the situation is catastrophic? cause this is going on my patients and medical stuff and of course also a lot of internall

and judge tanya chutkan will allow those references to remain in writing, denying a bid from trump'sm from the indictment. the federal election interference trial islay to begin in march of 2024, but that's not the only trial on the trump legal team's 2024 calendar. fulton county district attorney, fani willis, has now requested an august 5th start for her, 2020 election interference trial, against the former president. i'm joined now by msnbc legal analyst, melissa redmon, cisa law professor at the university of georgia, and a former deputy district attorney in fulton county. melissa, you know a little something about fulton county. can we just talk about the timing of all of these cases? you've got d.a. fani willis, she has now officially requested in august 2024 start. that is right between the republican national convention, and election day. doou think that the judge in fulton county will consider the election, as he makes the trial schedule? and if not, why not? >> unlike the federal system, where there is deference and trying not to have trials of this type that deal with issu
