donald trump may no longer become.y no longer be president, but there are still very serious security concerns. while the nypd, new york's mayor, say they have seen no credible threat, of course this is a place that has to be prepared for anything. pd is always ready tojump in with extra support if needed. but i have never seen this type of police presence outside of a courthouse. we have barricades blocking off traffic, for pedestrians, i've seen secret service officers here because they of course are working as federal agents alongside the nypd, alongside us marshals at the courthouse to secure this area. they have been trolling with sniffer docs just to make sure everything is safe. as i was walking from the front to the back of the court, along with others, nypd was hustling us along, not wanting us to hang around the area, saying keep it moving, keep it moving. they are clearly on edge today wanting everything to remain peaceful and orderly. that is what we have seen. that has certainly been the case. looking at t

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

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

and there's been nonstop pressure not only from donald trump, of course, but from trump's, a supporters in adherence, and, and even from members of congress. the threats to album rang in the last we own, or who rendez, racist threats, threats that he's being a supported by george soros, anti semitic threats, therefore, and, and, and a picture that donald trump posted with himself with a baseball bat, next to the head of alvin brag so it, it's rather extraordinary that alvin bragg has the courage to go ahead and bring it at all a given the, the threats and lack of forthright support of from the justice department. the justice department should be out there making statements that given that the case has been wrought, whether they would have brought it at this moment or not that they will support alvin bragg and make sure that justice is done. we don't, didn't do you think that alvin bragg is, is right to bring this case. i mean, it does sound from what class saying that he's taking an incredibly brave, a brave road. forget break. he took his time. he took a lot of time to get to where we

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

but it is important not to discount the odds that donald trump _ to discount the odds that donald trumpal base, he is a uniquely iconic figure who has been able to— uniquely iconic figure who has been able to tap — uniquely iconic figure who has been able to tap in to populace discontent and anger that is too prevalent— discontent and anger that is too prevalent in the country. he also has a _ prevalent in the country. he also has a media ecosystem behind him, despite _ has a media ecosystem behind him, despite some shifts occurring at fox news _ despite some shifts occurring at fox news so— despite some shifts occurring at fox news. so donald trump may have a narrow _ news. so donald trump may have a narrow path — news. so donald trump may have a narrow path to victory, but that's what _ narrow path to victory, but that's what he — narrow path to victory, but that's what he said in 2016 as well, so i expect— what he said in 2016 as well, so i expect that — what he said in 2016 as well, so i expect that 2024 will be a competitive risk.- expect that 2024 will be a competitive risk. expec

what has it been like there at trump tower, donald trump's home for so many years? >> reporter: the scene is quiet. maybe the quiet before the storm. we're expecting that he will depart from trump tower. this is the start of that choreography that we have been talking about all day. he will be leaving here likely within the next hour or so we saw a small group of trump supporters here earlier today, but not much more beyond that. we have seen groups of tourists, some onlookers, a lot of curiosity. there's not a massive police presence, of course. we have seen some officers directing traffic, starting to direct traffic away from the trump tower block of fifth avenue right now, the only real indication we have of what's going on inside that war room inside trump tower right now is from the former president himself. he has been once again posting on truth social. he was posting all day yesterday throughout his trip here to new york, late into the night. once again, this morning, he has been going after, as expected, the d.a. he has been going after bill barr, attacking

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

be the star witness, the michael cohen i the case of donald j trump united states of america versu donald j trump if donald trump is charged b jack smith's grand jury with crimes leading up to and o january 6th. mike pence's refusal to appeal that he must testify, is a indication of just how muc mike pence himself might not have believed the absurdis grounds of which he wa claiming that he did not hav to testify it's more likely that future losing presidential candidat mike pence will try to somehow preserve what he thinks will b his perceived loyalty to donal trump by fighting or pretendin to fight jack smith's effort t put mike pence under oath in front of the grand jury. mike pence was only willing to go one round in that fight instead of taking it to an appeals court. today, the leader of the republican party once agai called for defunding the police. nobody near the leadership o the democratic party has eve called for defunding the police defund the police was a protes slogan used in protest marches against the police murder of george floyd it has never been a politica platform of th

some supporting donald trump here on the streets. you can see there's a lot of commotion here at trump tower. we spent the day in new york city talking to folks. just asking them, how they feel about what has been happening with president trump and the arraignment tomorrow. here's what they had to say. >> do you think this is a politically motivated indictment by the manhattan d.a.? >> no doubt. only political. everything that they've done against trump has been political starting with russia collusion. it's a pack of lies. >> it's think he's charged like anybody else would be. i think it's great it's happening. >> any other politician would have been scrutinized as trump has been? >> no. i do not. >> why do you think that is? >> he's a polarizing figure. when you're a poll -- >> this is going nowhere. it's a big waste of time. >> do you think any other politician would face the statement scrutiny? >> absolutely. >> you think? >> absolutely, yes. >> he's the first one. >> other politicians -- he's the first president. other politician

and that's not changing until somebody takes donald trump on head-to-head. all of the polls we've seen to me have been essentially meaningless. we know trump's status and until somebody stands up to him or stands next to him at a debate and challenges him or tries to throw donald trump under the bus that he so often throws other republicans under and specifically uses some of this, until we see if that has an affect or not, nothing changes. christian: but that's not happening, is it? because people can see where the base is going in the party. and for now it suits them to attack it alvin bragg and to support donald trump. >> that's exactly why i'm a political independent. i was a republican for 30 years. i served in the george w. bush white house. i still think george w. bush was a very strong president. and even if i didn't agree with him on everything. but donald trump from the very beginning pushed things way, way too far with his anti-democratic rhetoric, talking about arresting hispponents, hillary clinton, it went from bad to worse through his entire a

talk about the defense, agency we wait for donald trump, the defendant, to come down that hallway. >> everyone is right that it's tawdry, there's no question about that, but is that a viable legal defense? the answer is no trump is saying this is all political. but remember with the justice department in 2018 that investigated this very set of facts and indicted someone over a felony, michael cohen, trump's former lawyer, and the trump aides, not the justice department, said this was a felony, and it was money that had no legitimate purpose and it was donald trump that orchestrated the michael cohen payments and that directed him to do it that was not the michael cohen justice department, it was the trump justice department that made that determination. so, when you hear this about being political and the like, i think it's important to remember that with respect to the statute of limitations, you're right, this senior events that occurred a long time ago. and you already heard barbara say, well, part of the reason why the delays happened is because of trump's own actions and holding

here is donald trump's quote here. wow. the book put out by crooked hillary's attorney mark pomerantz is a hit at the district attorney. they quit in protest because i thought it was irresponsible and unfair to president trump. they thought they did not want to rely on a sleaze bag disbarred lawyer like michael cohen as a witness. they thought the case was terrible, a loser. put a fries -- put aside the phrasing, it raises the issue of michael cohen. is that the reason alvin bragg has had reservations about bringing the people versus donald trump? mr. pomerantz: that is impossible for me to say. host: you wrote a memo to him and he put the memo in the book -- you put the memo in the book. tell us about the response to that? mr. pomerantz: i wrote several memos to him. one was perhaps inartfully phrased. i wrote it on the morning i was going to the hospital for surgery and it clearly did not sit well with the district attorney. i also wrote a memo urging him to consider as he was considering whether to authorize the case, i w

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

this is unlike something we've ever seen before, with mike pence testifying about donald trump and others related to the 2020 election to a secret grand jury as they consider charges today. >> very historic indeed. stand by. elliott williams, trump had tried to prevent this testimony, as we all know. how big a win is this for the special counsel, jack smith? >> well, it's a pretty big win for the special counsel, wolf. but to be clear, take away the fact it's donald trump and mike pence and this is a relatively straightforward legal question that was probably going to end here with mike pence testifying all along. look, mike pence as vice president of the united states is an officer of congress and will be entitled to some protection for things he says. not all. and it has been clear from the beginning that he could not shield conversations he had with the president that did not have to do with his official role. so any talk of campaigns or violence or threats or any of that is perfectly fair game for the justice department to ask about here. so this is a big win and it's very -- it's a h

and the other republicans find themselves in that and for donald trump, getting on that trump branded plane, it harkens back to 2016, 2015, when he put the pressure on other republicans. talking to asa hhutchison, has required the republican candidates to support their nominee. i know that's an issue in which the former arkansas has taken up but really as bill cassidy said it best this weekend he is somebody who actually voted to convict donald trump after the january 6th attack in the senate he said what this does outside of whether it's right or wrong or whether he actually committed these acts or not. it created theatre around him and takes the focus away from actual issues and right now, donald trump is drawing this attention to him the best he can. and he's going to board that plane, go into the heart of new york city and stand before a judge. >> we can see the motorcade has turned into the entrance of the airport. the plane is on the tarmac and unless he stops, it should be very quickly, he'll be boarding that plane and taking off for new york it's so striking vaughn and laura j

there is no chance that donald trump can get an acquittal in the city of new york by 12 jurors who votedto campaign on the issue of getting trump. >> sean: professor, slow down a second. you're saying, and i believe, by the way, you're right, i do not believe donald trump can get a fair trial in new york city. i think they need a change of venue but i think the likelihood of that is very low. but you're basically saying, you think he'll be found guilty in spite of these, what is a noncharge? they didn't even state what the crime is. >> it reminds me of when as i civil rights person in the south, if you spit on the sidewalk, or if you didn't spit on the sidewalk if the sheriff said you spit on the sidewalk and charged you with it, there was no way could you get acquitted by an all white jim crow law. i don't want to make comparisons between jim crow and new york city but in new york city you cannot get 12 jurors who are prepared to have an objective view and want to walk around town and have people say, that's the juror who freed donald trump and allowed him to be president. and the same

donald trump will be the first former u.s. ent 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 wo

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
