he now has to talk about conversations he had with donald trump about whether donald trump asked him to obstruct justice with respect to those documents. that is serious stuff which given the timeline you're talking about may gallop ahead of all of this. >> in new york we have to remember we just looked at alan weisel burke and the trump organization, we went from july of 21 to november of 22. >> aren't we assuming the former president who considers himself a fighter -- we are assuming that he's going to want to fight this. perhaps there's another way for them to handle this case given the other cases that are sitting out there that could potentially lead to more legal jeopardy. >> you're talking about a plea deal? it will never happen. >> because it's donald trump he would never any circumstances. >> if you are representing him, would you advise them to let's make this go away? >> it's not going to go away because he is running for public office, he does not want to have a conviction behind him. in addition, he keeps saying he has done wrong. i cannot imagine in my wildest dreams th

donald j. trump is under arrest. andrew wiseman, your thoughts. >> when you were talking to governor kasich, there is a discussion about whether this is a sad day and i just wanted to give a different way that i think the prosecutors in this case might be looking at it, many viewers, which is there is no question that there is a sadness to what we're seeing and having a former president who is under arrest, but -- >> take the person out of it, but the fact that somebody who was the leader of the free world is now under indictment. >> absolutely. but i think the sadness is the -- if you're looking at this from a prosecutor's perspective, i think they would say the sadness was the crimes committed. that's the sadness you have somebody who has committed crimes and now charged with committing crimes before he became president and partly while he was president and he's under criminal investigation for crimes while he was president and after he was president the whole panoply of charges that are under investigation some of

donald trump's team said it was for legal fees donald trump knew full well he was paying him back for paying stormy daniels off it's help fell to go back to 2016 to remind people where we were in the campaign when michael cohen says he was making these payments to stormy daniels for $130,000 this was in the days before the election donald trump was dealing with the fallout and the backlash from, one, the "access hollywood" tape where he bragged about grabbing women we know that secondly, remarks he made about the former miss universe, commenting about her weight. he was dealing with allegations of misogyny. he was trying to beat those back and still maintain what he felt was a lead in the campaign it was a very heady time in that moment any more allegations of donald trump being an adulterer or a porn star saying that donald trump had an appear with me, the porn star, stormy daniels saying that, the campaign felt at the time that this would have been a problem. that's why michael cohen says he was making these payments, in part at least. dasha burns, it was happening at trump tower wh

he has fallen in line behind donald trump. how is all of this going to affect the republican campaign for 2020 full rena. yeah, right now it's of, it's not surprising. the governor de santis is trying to appeal to those voters who are still stuck by trump side. that's the make america. great. again, movement tight, but the november 22. i excuse me. these past november mid term elections really told us that the mag candidates do poorly as senator mitch mcconnell himself is marked many times about the poor candidate quality. the donald trump is created in the republican party today. governor de santas is strategic playbook in my estimation, and i'm not currently advising him. is that he wants to see how much of the maggie university can tear away from trump. and he will take his time. he is not officially announced for 2024. he wants to see how he can sort of softly peel away again, that demographic and have them come with him in due time. i think governor de santis is also estimating like i am, that trump will not see this whol

for the last few days and weeks in fact, donald - days and weeks in fact, donald trump has been blastingon to this as he can because he thinks it was a political win for him and he had been boasting about how much money, $10 million he says, he has raised the indictment was. but today he actually arrived in the court room appeared to deflate. all that bravado was not there any more and you could see the pictures of him walking through the hallways and the still photographs that were taken in court, looking angry, worried, concerned, serious. not the kind of expressions you normally see from donald trump when he is trying to present strength and bravado. we heard from his lawyers in court that heard from his lawyers in court that he was angry and upset about the case because they said he felt it represented a great injustice against him. but thejudge represented a great injustice against him. but the judge still warned him and his lawyers against any kind of inflammatory rhetoric outside the court room which could stir up passions around this case, and that may or may not be why he left s

how do i benefit donald trump?ile there may be somerable rousers -- some rabblerousers thinking of coming to our city tomorrow, our message is clear and simple. control yourselves. >> this is a really murky incident. it's not immediately clear exactly who was behind this explosion. >> many experts believe it must be ukrainian intelligence behind this attack. russian investigative committee thinks that russian opposition was also involved. >> this particular part of the bridge used to be packed with addicts. they're often huddled together, high and shooting up. >> their rehab it pretty inhumane. it's to lock them up and make them sweat it out and, again, it doesn't have lasting effects. not lasting beneficial effects. >> hello. welcome to the context. brand new program tonight. from now on we'll be with you at the early time of 8:00. and for two hours rather than one. which gives us plenty of room then to focus on our top stories tonight. we'll be getting the view from ukraine and russia on the information war that'

donald trump knows it.t donald trump summoned t the courthouse to protest hi arrest did not show up it was a tiny turnout, by my count walking among the crow of trump supporters, there wer maybe 100 to 120 of them, no only easy to distinguish the from the news media near them. donald trump won only 12% of the vote in manhattan for th last presidential election that is 85,185 votes i manhattan. that means there were thousand of trump voters who live withi walking distance of th courthouse donald trump couldn't get 1% o the people who voted for him i manhattan to walk down to th courthouse, or take the subway donald trump understandabl wants to move his trials t staten island, across th harbor on a ferry ride t staten island, because he wo staten island and the last election it's the only republican section of new york city, an donald trump won 123, 000, t 320 votes in staten island not 1% of the people who voted for him in staten island wer willing to take a ferry ride over to the courthouse for donald trump

donald trump is somebody who has welcomed the show of all this. he is trying to use this moment for his own political benefit. this is tough because a trial in the fall could ultimately run parallel directly with the presidential campaign that he is trying to run simultaneously >> and vaughn, i know you've blood been on that plane, but today, his staff, but no press pool you flew recently with him to one of his campaign stops. >> right there's a lot of negotiations and our understanding at this t time, there is no camera a pool camera, which is an agreement, all the networks, they send one on, but we don't believe that is taking place here so we expect to at least see donald trump board his plane you see that shot at atlantic aviation which is where the private planes come and go from palm beach international airport. i was on the plane with donald trump just a week ago when he went out to his rally in waco, texas. of course, we did not see that plane for several years. it came back on to the market at the end of 2022 after refrushishment this was

is donald trump being charged with this because he's donald trump?t anyone else be charged with the same circumstances. there are democrat commentators say they can't make that case. i know alvin bragg said they do this all the time. i'm sure that will be played out over the next several days whether there is a history here but keep in mind that the crime alvin bragg says this was in the furtherance of, which was a campaign finance violation, which is how he says he gets to a felony as opposed to a misdemeanor wasn't even osecuted by the federal authorities when they had a chance to do it. if it was a crime, it didn't rise to a crime to the level fedel government thought they should charge with. it is leaving a lot of people scratching their heads wondering if alvin bragg is following through on a campaign promise. but everybody will have their day inourt. anchor: i want to ask you about what we saw from the former president stop you use to be his chief of staff. what would you advise him to say when he speaks from mar-a-lago andhat do you think he a

trump over the years because donald trump is different. he processes things differently. emotionally. and politically, so zr does thi really penetrate does the gravity of what is happening penetrate with donald trump? >> you know, it's a hard question to answer because you never want to put yourself in somebody else's mind, it's difficult to do that but by all outward appearances if it is going to penetrate, what we're going to see is him lash out, as he does, when he feels backed into a corner and we've already seen that. we've seen him lashing out at the d.a. lashing out at the d.a.'s wife lashing out at the judge lashing out at the special counsel. anybody that is questioning him, or trying to hold him accountable, he is going after him. he's even going after today alone his former attorney general, bill barr, who in the conversation we were just having did not pursue the case against him. i guess he hasn't seen him to be satisfactorily cheering him on over the past few years. again, he didn't investigate what he called election interfe

it, donald trump, is convicted. that's important or not that he's guilty or not guilty of the crimes . she's accused of that is very important for all the viewers to keep in mind. so what are we doing now? now we're back up now. now we're after the indictment. donald trump has turned himself in surrender and he's going through what's called a do judicial walk through process. trump is saying he's being arrested. that's a little bit of semantics. quite frankly, he's not really being arrested because arrested means you are detained. trump is not necessarily being detained. his lawyers have negotiated with the district attorney and the court on when he would surrender. so that's not really being detained. setting that aside, the process, what's going on inside this important facility behind me right now is judicial facility. i should say is fingerprint, since we've said before, potentially mug shot, a photograph. and then that takes a while. we say why, why? why would that take? perhaps as long as an hour? well, becaus

and you have donald trump doin songs with j.r.rain recall domesti terrorists, and opening th boasting about that. and it is this sad mix o dystopian, autocratic, jus nonsense and it there seems to be no en in sight the more that it tighten around donald trump, the mor extreme and crazy is going to. b and all the, while you hav the republican party jus singing along as backgroun singers as part of that course as well, going down with the ship >> speaking, of course, let' talk about someone who just wo the residential republican primary caucus former arkansas governor asa hutchinson announced today o abc that he is indeed joinin the race for president jennifer, what lane is he goin to occupy. can he occupy. >> he is going to operate th bike lane, because that is all it has of the seeing decen republicans. this is a guy who has condemne january 6th, who says that donald trump is not fit to b president, who has, whenever h has interviewed, sounded sane. that is something and th republican party, and my fea for the deer governor is tha

trump supporting donald trump.nd he is loving that. there is no doubt in my mind h is loving that >> he loves to be in the press good, bad, or otherwise. there's a few big republicans, they're not in these press clippings, though, stuar stevens. -- john thune, two top senate republicans. we are not hearing from them why do you think that is >> i think they are trying t hold on to some sort of's shre of decency in trying to ac like americans first and not republican politicians first but look, mitch mcconnell coul have stopped this. mitch mcconnell could have voted to convict donald trump. he didn't. he gave a speech afterwards, one of the most bizarre moment in american political histor where he voted not to convic and gave a speech saying why h should have convicted. and every charge that th republican party has to go dow a different road to donald trump, to get back on track, they found further down th road and that's what's happenin now. i think that it's exactl right. donald trump is going to be th republican n

we knew he had worked not only for donald trump for decades, but for donald trump's father, fred trump, for a long time. it was clear from the investigation that had been done that allen weisselberg knew he was the money guy in the organization, to the extent there were financial crimes we were investigating. allen weisselberg would have to know about them. it is not a huge organization. it is run by a small group of trusted employees, many of whom had been with trump for decades. allen weisselberg perhaps being one of the oldest, most long-standing employees. and so as we started looking at crimes involving the financial control system of the company, the financial statements, what expenses were paid, how they were documented, allen weisselberg designed the accounting system and everybody in the accounting system reported to him and it was obvious he was going to be somebody who, if he could be induced to cooperate, would be a source of a lot of information. robert: when you step back and look at all the ongoing investigations of former president trump, there is the january 6 committe

donald trump. but then, according to the district attorney, that was paid to her by a check by donald trump. that was given to her by michael cohen, who was donald trump's fixer, who, alvin bragg said, has no legal means to pass that money, right? so that's number one. and then it was a matter of beyond that, donald trump continuing to do this according to alf and brag to cover up other crimes. what other crimes? because if he falsified business records to begin with transferring that money through an intermediary, that's a $130000.00, which is above the legal limit in terms of federal money that can be exchange hands. so. so it's a federal campaign finance law. and that he made full statements $34.00 or made false statements on documents knowingly, according to alvin, brag $34.00 times to cover up to crimes or alleged crimes that alvin bragg is pursuing state election law violations, and federal election law violations. so it's sort of to kind of simplify it a little bit. it's sort of like a snowb

look, you know what scares them about donald trump, is that the four years that donald trump, everythingrace, creed, the economy was better, the country was safer, foreign policy was better, border was secure and they were thriving and that's why they go after donald trump nonstop because they know he's the biggest threat to this scam that they have going on, by suppressing people and keeping people in poverty. there is a better way, trump showed them the way. that's what scares them. >> sean: quick exit question, yes or no.

donald trump will be the first former u.s.dent to face criminal charges after a grand jury indicted him after money paid to stormy daniels. mr. trump is expected to appear in court in new york to face the charges next tuesday. he denies any wrongdoing saying the indictment is political persecution. we begin our coverage with this report from our north american correspondent in new york. reporter: this manhattan courthouse does not normally look like this but it is not every day if former president is charged with a crime. in fact it has never happened before. and this is a man who has brought the charges against donald trump. district attorney alvin bra, a democrat and a prosecutor in america is highly politicized legal system. but if he was saying nothing the former president was not so reticent calling it political rsecution. election interference. and his opponents radical left monsters. >> no one is above the law not even a former president. reporter: the case centers on the financial accounting for $130,000 paid to this w

i also want to check -- i think i heard you say todd blanch spoke for donald trump so donald trump did not say the words not guilty, is that correct? >> donald trump said not guilty, very firmly, but todd blanch was speaking on behalf of the defense. in terms of the judge, he said we're taking the rhetoric and language donald trump is using very seriously. >> danny >> adam reiss, our nbc news producer who is inside that courtroom. and we were sharing resources within nbc news, so forgive us for that he did say again that donald trump was the one to plead not guilty inside that courtroom i do want to go back, andrew weissman, to this question of what the prosecutors are looking for, some sort of relief not necessarily a gag order, but that they made a point to mention that donald trump has been threatening prosecutors, threatening the judge, posted that photo of him with a baseball bat next to alvin bragg's face, worried and concerned about what it will do to a potential jury. and this is a conversation that we have had in the past. if you are somebody that is picked to be on a jury for

i don't know if it's donald trump 2 point. oh but it is a very different he just by looking at his brief passage earlier on the when he left the trunk tower, his shoulders were sagging. i think the donald trump, when he gets into the docket today before the judge for the 1st time. this is not something that lawyers can protect him or his corporation. his corporation shield can protect him. he is sitting in judgment and i think it is very chilling affair has a very chilling effect on every one. ah, and i think it really will affect him. now. that's not to say that he won't go out later. it's all depends on the specific charges, as well as the instructions from the judge regarding what he can and cannot say, due to the fact that if threats are made towards the district attorney or the judge or any others in the judicial process, there could be some serious violations, and i think he's push that limit on social media in the past is pushed that limit at his rallies, going back to 2015 so he may have a gag order that least protects

parte de lo que mencionÓ el presp expresidente donald john trump. (hablan en inglÉs(.n inglÉs(. (hablan e (hablan en inglÉs(. >> bueno, el mensaje es donald john trump es vÍctima de una persecuciÓn y estÁ listo para dar la batalla vimos a uno de sus hijos presentes en este discurso. >> sÍ y de hecho hizo menciÓn a ello agradeciÓ a su familia por todo el apoyo y dijo que han vivido un verdadero infierno por estas investigaciones pero seÑalÓ que no pierden la e esperanza y que con el tiempo se pruebe que estÁ diciendo la verdad. >> gracias lourdes desde mar-a-lago, pero cÓmo ocurriÓ todo esto y quÉ sigue despuÉs de esta acusaciÓn y quÉ representa esto para el paÍs la jornada comenzÓ en una corte de manhattan donde donald john trump escuchÓ los cargos veamos la crÓnica del dÍa. >> son solo segundos pero estas imÁgenes muestran al expresidente donald john trump en calidad de arrestado, ya en la corte rodeado de sus abogados se declarÓ no culpable de 34 cargos criminales. >> el pliego de cargos de 16 pÁginas menciona los 34 delitos graves de falsificaciÓn de recore records

sumi: is donald trump really the victim?is under investigation in at least four serious cases, one of which is linked to the january 6 riot at the capitol. is it fair to call him the victim? >> no, not at all, but he is going to play the victim. he is going t talk to his supporters and talk to many in america who feel there might be a two tier form of justice that treats democrats differently from republicans and he is going to try to utilize that to his political advantage. sumi: how do uc this -- how do you see this playing out tomorrow for the president? what kind of messaging do you think we are going to see from the president, especially as he is continuing to campaign to become president again? >> it is certainly not going to be a disciplined message. that is one thing i know about president trump, he lacks discipline when it comes to any message. he is going to lay out his grievances, lay out why he feels he is going to be the victim, and he is going to try to take advantage. he put many of my former colleagues under

to me, this is donald trump. you don't bring a knife to a gunfight, so we don't know what we don't know. but this was not, and i mean, i think that that's in some ways. it doesn't even matter what order this came in, i think either way, whether this is the first case of the last case, i think the burden um in a case involving a former president is a lot more information a lot more legal justification for the charges, and it is puzzling as the previous panel with anderson was just discussing why the statutes that would make this a felony weren't even laid out clearly and so that people can really see what laws they're alleging that he broke. i think that's really puzzling to me because the public interest in this case is so high as a prosecutor, i think the legal underpinnings of all of this really does need to be rock solid. you know, i'm i'm not a lawyer. i can't say whether this is going to be a good case or bad case. will they win or will they lose? it's clearly not a slam dunk case at and it seems very clear
