fani willis was not pulling a steve bannon.ng subpoenas in defiance of the rule of law. her lawyer, a former georgia governor, a lawyer who is highly esteemed, is challenging the subpoenas. but you have to understand is the political context. i live in alabama, we are next- door neighbors would georgia like my home state, georgia is a republican led state. this committee that issued the subpoena to fani willis is a lot like when jim jordan representative in congress creates a weaponization of government committee and claims that democrats are weaponizing government on the federal level and tries to pry into what prosecutors are doing. this georgia subpoena is similar. it is a violation of separation of power. it is an effort by the legislative branch to peer into what a prosecutor is doing. her lawyer has moved to squash the subpoena. she did not defy it. she is going through the legal process that you're supposed to use when you are subpoenaed and believe it is wrongful. >> you brought up steve bannon i think i could bring up

. >> so lisa, in addition, we mentioned that fani willis has decided to skip a subpoena, essentiallyrought by republicans on the state senate. what happens now, and could this mean anything for the case itself? >> i want to go back to the origins of your question and push back on that. i don't think it's necessarily fair to say she defied a subpoena because fani willis filed a motion to quash that subpoena saying the subpoena itself was not valid or everforcible. mull -- enforceable. multiple judges recused themselves from hearing the motion, as a result it was not resolved before today's hearing. fani willis, had she shown up, would have waived any and all objections she had to the validity of the subpoena. >> she was not required then to be there today because that had not been -- all right. >> correct. her argument is the subpoena itself is not valid, therefore i'm not defying anything because if a court leader finds that this subpoena was not enforceable, was not legitimately issued, there was nothing for me to comply with in the first place. >> i think -- whatever happens with t

fani willis. joining us now is paul butler.he judge did keep the core of the case which is the racketeering charge against donald trump. >> exactly right. so this is a technical reason, not based on the merits of the case. it is based on the supremacy clause of the united states constitution which said that when there is a tension between federal law and state law, that it is the federal law that prevails. so the judge threw out some charges that were related to documents that had federal implications. but even for those charges, he said they could still be brought from federal court. just not in his state court. overall, trump was originally charged with 13 state felonies. he remains charged with eight state felonies. >> and which isn't nothing, by the way. but of course they still have to litigate the fani willis stuff so that won't happen any time soon. lisa ruben, or colleague, has written today that the most critical legal mattner georgia could be a civil procedure, a civil case involving an upcoming trial in state court o

are doing to him now is basically, well he is being alvin bragged, he is being letitia james and fani willis jack smith. that's my concern. and yes, he also a a right to show his innocence and presumed innocent. when these people do what they do to owe elected official in a high place and do press conference like this prosecutor just did it's difficult to fight against. this because they the public against you. the good news is president trump has been fighting for the rule of law that more americans than ever before have a healthy skepticism and distrust of the doj, merrick garland's doj which really has become sort of like a mafia political hitman eric adams leaned into the narrative of distrust our institutions. >> need to federal prosecutors -- i don't know. you should ask them. >> laura: he says who gave the directive or the orders to pursue this case. rod, rod, i don't think we will every know that i'm still waiting for them to play 99% of the fbi tape they are covering up in my case. i will say in this environment today give this mayor a fighting chance to fight back against these pow

election interference case has also run into delays of allegations of prosecutorial misconduct by fani willisng tactics are helping him in the selection, or could the legal hangover make him less likely to concede even if he loses?>> first let me congratulate you, that is fantastic, congratulations on the book, i can't wait to read it. as far as donald trump goes, i don't think it is worth congratulating him for anything, he has delayed his trial facing him, however, it is still in the news and when it comes to some cases, like the one in d.c. which is about election interference, we may actually see more evidence presented in the case by jack smith, in order to make his plea to the judge. but, i think every time we talk about legal trouble for donald trump, it really hurts him because he doesn't get to stay on message because when he defends those trials as we saw yesterday, he just creates a huge mess and makes his donors and everyone else around him just bang their head against the wall.>> the biden administration revealed that russia is once again attempting to interfere in our presidenti

so far 5 of the original 13 charges by fani willis have been dismissed before trial as the entire case remains in jeopardy. in fact every case against trump is falling apart and as political points out, democrats underestimate trump at their own peril. his opponent kamala harris is running the most dishonest least authentic campaign in human history. during the debate she lied and lied repeatedly. dozens of times about a national sales tax that trump has never supported and doesn't support. he will sign a nationwide abortion ban that donald trump has never supported, will never support. a ban on ivf when he's actually been in favour of ivf. and that nobody by the way wants. quote donald trump's project 2025, that trump had absolutely nothing to do with hasn't read, by the way for the record nor have i. she lied and brought out the hits. let's bring up charlottesville. she lied about trump's roll in january 6th, lied about fracking and oil, lied about her support for the minnesota bell fund, trump's bloodbath comments on the economy, lied about trump's position on nato, lied about 0 tro

fani willis promised the trial month after trying to overturn the 2020 election result months may turnmiss the case as if he wins in november but it was delayed because of her personal relationship with the chief prosecutor the only case that i mentioned that went to trial out of the fork and no cases was a state case with a guilty verdict this is a manhattan hush money the former president will not know a sense until after the election district attorney alvin bragg agreed to remove until after the trial and the judge signed off on it judge juan mershon noticed that sentencing will be on november 26. in washington, d.c. special counsel jack smith is moving along with this case but ultimately "the bottom line" i mentioned a lot and the last 90 seconds if donald trump wins in november, the two federal criminal cases against him will essentially go away. if he loses he will go to trial in 2025 unless it's always possible he could be pardoned by kamala harris if she wins. stuart: i'm trying to figure out why she would do that but that's another story. you packed a lot into 90 seconds, see

meanwhile, fulton county district attorney and trump prosecutor fani willis is expected to defy a subpoenaf misconduct and misuse of taxpayer money. the hearing comes after an improper affair was revealed between willis and nathan wade, the prosecutor she hired to help bring the case against donald trump. willis has called the committee's investigation unlawful. new york city police commissioner has resigned, claiming that corruption probe against him is creating a distraction for the nypd. in his resignation letter writes it's in the best interest of the department that i resign as commissioner, i holes immense respect and gratitude for the brave officers and must put their interests before my own. he says he will cooperate fully with the ongoing investigation. new york city mayor eric adams has accepted this resignation and appointed retired fbi agent tom donlan as interim police commissioner. last week the fbi executed search warrants at the homes of several close allies of the mayor. the raids were reportedly part of an investigation focusing on corruption an influence peddling. the u.

he said every crime is weaponization from doj to fani willis to people running on getting donald trump. he said, they are going to say i'm a criminal, weaponization they used to tlie to win the election. >> brian: that was opportunity for him to turn around and say, what about it is people that work for you? 87% have quit. i looked at people's performance and moved on. why did comblour your people choose to leave? >> steve: those are top two issues, the economy by a mile and inflation by a mile. one thing the former president did a lot last night, answer myriad of different questions and then come back and talk about the abortion, the migrant yi crisis an awful lot. it helped in 2016, i think he thought it would help last night. there was a lot of repetition to it, if they would have fact checked each other, it would have been more interesting. he has facts on his side, that would be more interesting than have be two people from abc -- >> ainsley: he was correct ing when she would say, when she said, people left your office, he said i fired them. >> steve: i'm talking about the economy

fani willis showing up to her daughter's arrest and nathan wade. remember those names. began claimed her affair ended with wade a year ago. referred to wade as just a friend. willis' daughter was arrested on a misdemeanor charge for driving with a suspended license. willis is leading trump's 2020 election interference case. the case that wade resigned from over his relationship with her. a lot going on in that story. an american airlines flight is forced to make unexpected landing after a passenger refused to stop vaping on board. the flight attendant on the dallas flight warned that vaping was against federal regulation. that's when the person allegedly chased the flight attendant towards the front of the cabin. tulsa airport officials say the customers smelled of alcohol and transferred to a local jail where that person belongs. can't chase down flight attendance or vape on board. >> kayleigh: i'm shocked alcohol was involved. >> kayleigh: crazy plot exist there. >> steve: do you know what they were vaping? you can vape different stuff. >> carley: i have no idea. some

part of the process that we've seen in the processes we know they are weaponizing the judiciary, fani willis to go after donald trump, imagine that somebody who's supposed to be objective in doing their job within the judicial system. we will see one by one that these things will fall and is having victory after victory and that will continue their weaponizing the judiciary and they weaponizing justice department in the past, understand this they will do anything and everything that they can't impeach and they failed they try taking them off the ballot and they failed they tried using the judiciary ended guiding him and they didn't die in him but it did not stop them they tried convicting it did not stop them all these cases will go down the tubes ultimately. cheryl: i want to ask you about the very busy week that we have politically. our hearing from the former president his ruling out another debate with vice president harris here's what he wrote untrue social what a prizefighter loses the fight the first words are i want a rematch, here's should focus on what she should've done the last f

pool, favorable to donald trump and in that conspiracy indictment, you could loop in the likes of fani willis, matthew angelo, and alvin bragg. i was talking to a legal ethics professor out of nyu and it doesn't take much to get an indictment as we know. a ham sandwich. and if they truly indeed want to go through with this, there is little barriers, because if donald trump were to implement the executive order, the schedule f that he did at the end ever his first administration, that joe biden rescinded on day one. they would be able to fire a vast number of career officials and turn those into political appointee positions. so while may have some career d.a. officials, donald trump could very well if the first months come in and move these people out and turn them into political appointment positions an it is not that hard to see how indictments come soon after. >> donald trump turning the federal government into an autocracy is unpopular. why are they rolling this out now? >> well, because donald trump has been indicted four times. and you should expect to hear kamala harris on the debate s

fani willis. an appeals court is looking to disqualify her over a romantic relationship with her lead prosecutor. you remember all this back and forth. they are still kicking it around and dropped a few of the indictments. a judge, as i said, dismissed three of the charges against the former president and his allies saying state prosecutors did not have the authority to bring the charges, which dealt with filing false documents in a federal court. former president still faces eight counts in georgia. >> bill: now to this newly resurfaced survey. where kamala harris stands today is anybody's guest. alexandria hoff. good morning. >> back in 2019 then senator kamala harris was trying to connect with voters and trying to compete with fellow presidential primary candidates like bernie sanders and elizabeth warren. when she filled out an aclu questionnaire she went far to the left. taxpayer funded gender transition for migrants and she wrote more recently the opioid crisis has reaffirmed the failure of

everyone was involved with the a jay from atlanta and fani willis to the attorney general of new yorkda. everyone of those cases and then they say he's a criminal. they are the ones that made him go after me. its weaponization and the used and it never happened. they used to try to win and election. they are fake cases. >> joining us someone who knows firsthand about weaponization of justice live from spin room robert f kennedy junior. great to see you. >> great to see you john. >> sean: >> you left your party near and dear to your father and uncle. i think it has no resemblance to the democratic party today. this is frustrating part about tonight, the radicalization and views stated by kamala. there were not asked by the moderators. it was a filled opportunity. the american people were feltmate. >> i was disappointed by the bias of the moderators fact checking constantly the trivialities by president trump. is for us i saw they did not fact check vice president harris singleton. the party i grew up and doesn't exist in. the party of robert kennedy and john kennedy was peace. a party

look at fani willis' case and what unfolded in georgia with trump at the heart of that. so many antics and all that kind of stuff. we don't need this. it doesn't help the justice system to have america's trust. why? i guess it's just a question. is it necessary? >> john: one of the most unforgivable things i think this administration did is they tried to use the power of criminal prosecution. one of the most important functions of executive branch to do in a neutral way and turned it tried to affect the election. they tried to prevent the people from going to the ballot box and making their own judgment about donald trump. trump just said that in his speech. one of the things that happened in the last four years as the rule of law has been undermined. it's going to take many, many years for our system to recover. >> martha: gary shapley looks at this and says, this is what i said all along. this is a victory for him. he was the whistle-blower along with ziegler, his whistle-blower partner, they said there are felonies here and they were told by david weiss, u.s. attorney

the case in atlanta was brought by fani willis, not by the justice it's just department, but part of what we have seen with donald trump and with his campaign particularly amid all of these ongoing legal investigations and trials, is the fact that donald trump has aim to make this political, to tie this to the current administration. and now of course, will tie this to kamala harris as part of the current administration saying that he is being politically persecuted, essentially, having this line that is they're coming after you, but i'm just standing in the way when instead, he just they just are alleging that he committed crimes. >> so what we know today is that this was the first time that he and e. >> jean carroll were in that courtroom. this was him seeking a new trial. his legal team has said that they believe there were issues with the evidence that judge shouldn't have let in certain evidence and that's why they are appealing. and again, we don't expect any decision on this today or possibly even before the election, but you can tell here he is obviously using this. he is ang

former president trump the fulton county case where an oral argument on the proprietary of having fani willisy on the case has been scheduled for december. again, unless and until there is some sort of emergency proceeding we can't see for now, the only thing i anticipate happening between now and the november election and these trump legal kagsz is the possibility that jack smith lobs a brief to judge chutkan's courtroom that reveals something that we don't know and perhaps changes some mind. barring that, however, this is going to be a very quiet election season and trump legal in that some respects might play to the former president's detriment. he does his best with his base when he actively has something to complain about. you saw that during the summer when there was not a lot of action after the supreme court's decision. he was sort of kept going back to the well to try to complain about, for example, the existence of the gag order to accuse judge merchan. when things are not active he sometimes loses some of that the fundraising momentum that accompanied him during the trump trial i a
