and ivanka trump and this is specifically about the new york attorney general's investigation into theion? >> >> erin, we have learned that ivanka trump sat for her deposition under oath before the attorney general's office today and that donald trump jr. had his deposition under oath last thursday. according to one source, donald trump jr. answered the questions that they asked him. he did not assert the fifth amendment and that is something that his brotheric trump had done when he was questioned under oath. one source says this was a concern about how it would appear if they refused to answer questions under oath. this has been a long-running investigation, the civil investigation by the new york attorney general into the trump organization's finances and into the accuracy of their financial statements and by answering these questions it does raise the stakes for them because there is still that parallel criminal investigation by the manhattan district attorney's office. we haven't seen much public activity and it had slowed down to some extent and they were not presenting evidence

and ivanka trump investigating on the finances behind their family business. what this could mean for the former president. that is next. you are watching msnbc. . . astepro and go. i could've waited to tell my doctor my heart was racing just making spaghetti... but i didn't wait. i could've delayed telling my doctor i was short of breath just reading a book... but i didn't wait. they told their doctors. and found out they had... atrial fibrillation. a condition which makes it about five times more likely to have a stroke. if you have one or more of these symptoms irregular heartbeat, heart racing, chest pain, shortness of breath, fatigue or lightheadedness, contact your doctor. this is no time to wait. >>> a major development in the near investigation into former president trump and the company finances. sources close to the investigation say donald junior and ivanka trump recently testified to the attorney general. sources say neither took the fifth. the former president himself is weeks. joining us as our national reporter for the washington post. >> what q

ivanka trump in that category of -- miss vodka -- about ivanka trump in that category of pleading him to take action. there was a neutral group where advisors were trying to tell the line, knowing that president trump didn't want to take immediate action and condemn the rights --riots. they needed it to be done in there was the last group that was stuck letting blame -- was deflecting blame. it is my understanding that mr. meadows was in the deflecting category but he was seeking a neutral rest knowing that there were several advisors urging him to take more action. it was reflected in the rhetoric released later that day. rep. cheney: you taught us that the white house office was in the camp encouraging the president to tell the rioters to stop the attack. >> white house counsel office when it him to condemn the rioters. i am confident in that. rep. cheney: let's look at one example at what advisors were urging. could you look at the exhibit that we are showing on the screen now? have you seen this note before? ms. hutchinson: i wrote that note at the direction of the chief of staff

>> yes. >> were you joined in that effort by ivanka trump and mark meadows? >> yes. >> i am confident that if ivanka trump wanted there to be a strong statement to condemn the writers -- rioters. she came to the chief of staff office. she was talking about the speech later that day and trying to get her dad on board with saying something that was more direct then he had wanted to at the time. >> i remember him getting ivanka involved. i don't think jerry was there -- jared was there. of course, pat was expressing the same thing. pat, like i said, i don't think there was one of these meetings -- the both of us were going down there, going back. >> pat cipollone and cassidy hutchinson told us about the hang mike pence chants. difficult conversations about those chants in the west wing but he relied on executive privilege to retain confidentiality over his and other direct communications with the president. although he was unwilling to provide more detail, you can see that for yourself. >> until mark hung up the phone, handed it back to me, i went back to my des

donald trump jr., ivanka trump answered questions. eric trump and donald trump jr. are leading this organization, or at least they were during the administration, taking different roads. what are you seeing here? >> you know, look, there's a question as to whether the president is playing four dimensional chess while everyone around him is playing checkers and there's a grand strategy here. i'm not convinced they have a broader grand strategy here. it looks splashy to plead the fifth. it's probably as much a political and public relations strategy as a legal one. notwithstanding the legal points we have made here. i think there's a little more behind this than strategy. >> let me ask you about the search warrant that was executed on monday at mar-a-lago. there is the return. there's the inventory of everything that was taken. if this is so egregious, as the president said it was, should the former president make that public? >> oh, yes. he can. he can release the search warrant. he can release the inventory. he won't do so because he knows that'll undermine his clai

and ivanka trump testified as part of the probe, but the former president himself expected to answerahead of that, letitia james indicated the probe has uncovered substantial evidence in the statements provided to banks, insurers, and the internal revenue service, to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars. this -- excuse me -- this might not be all that surprising to our viewers. the remarks from the former president himself, including when he told us, i'm worth much more then you have me down. for i'm look better if i'm worth ten billion than four billion. i want to bring in special prosecutor jill -- thanks for joining us on this. give us where you stand what you hear about -- both ivanka trump and john junior have testified, especially ahead of this idea that the former president will in fact be answering questions. >> first of all, i think this is great that we're asking about this, because it seems to a faded from public attention in the overwhelming testimony from the january 6th hearings and this is really important because this is a civil case that could lure literally b

marie said donald trump junior and ivanka trump of testified in a civil tax fraud investigation. ings testified on allegations that their father, former president trump inflated financial statements for the trump organization. a court filing show the trump family attempted to block testifying, but an appeals court denied that neither of the 2 pleaded the 5th and their testimony. so they apparently did testify. allegedly documents show the former president inflated as financial statements by hundreds of millions of dollars. trump is expected to testify in the next few weeks. a bipartisan group of u.s. senators wants to update 100 year-old law, a move which they say will help avoid another catastrophe like the january 6 insurrection. >> at issue is the electoral count act of 18 87. the law covers how electoral votes are counted. some lawmakers say the is to pay a claim backed by many legal scholars as well. among proposed reforms, one would clarify the vice president's role as ceremonial with no power to throw out any electoral votes. following the 2020 election. former president tr

more recently, ivanka trump and donald trump junior testified in the case and we're told they did answer questions but today, the former president decided that there was just too much jeopardy for him to have to answer questions in case that looks at potential fraud in his business practices and the question of whether he or people who work for him misrepresented the valuations of real state properties for example to banks and insurce companies for their advantage. there is also a parallel criminal investigation in manhattan into some of the same fact patterns and made it perilous for president trump. in a civil case, if this ever goes to a jury, a jury can draw an adverse inference from a defendant who refuses to answer estions and takes the fifth unlike in theriminal context. and so this is not good for him in the civil case but he clearly felt there was too muchisk for him tonswer questions under oath today. lindsey? >> lisa, what kind of questions do you think trump is being asked i this deposition and ken laid a lot of it out for us. i want your take how the fifth amendment applies

we've been following this for some time and we have learned that ivanka trump answered questions under oath yesterday. donald trump jr. did last week. sources say he did not take the fifth. the former president expected to testify later this month. the new york attorney general's office accuses the company of using false or misleading fns information to get loan and tax benefits. the trump organization has denied any wrong doing and says the investigation is politically motivated. >>> in the text cas courtroom, exposing alex jones lies on the stand. jurors set to resume deliberations in a few hour, they are deciding how much money he should pay for spreading lies with the sandy hook school massacre. miguel marquez has more. >> reporter: a jury in austin is now deliberating how much conspiracyist alex jones must pay. parents sued jones and his parent company free speech system and a judge found jones liable. they are asked for up to $150 million in damages. the jury will decide how much jones must pay for his lies. jesse's parents testified that the lies told by jones that the sandy hoo

york attorney general civil investigation, civil practices, to mourn the death of his ex-wife, ivanka trumpduring that period of time, trump has posted this major saudi golf tournament in new jersey. trump has spoken at rallies. he's out there endorsing candidates. when is he going to start answering questions? meet ron. that man is always on. and he's on it with jardiance for type 2 diabetes. his underhand sky serve? on fire. his grilling game? on point. and his a1c? ron is on it. with the once-daily pill, jardiance. jardiance not only lowers a1c... it goes beyond to reduce the risk of cardiovascular death for adults with type 2 diabetes and known heart disease. and jardiance may help you lose some weight. jardiance may cause serious side effects, including ketoacidosis that may be fatal, dehydration that can lead to sudden worsening of kidney function, and genital yeast or urinary tract infections. a rare life-threatening bacterial infection in the skin of the perineum could occur. stop taking jardiance and call your doctor right away if you have symptoms of this infection, ketoacidosis,

donald trump jr. and ivanka have been questioned.ppraiser handing over thousands of documents, too. what would you expect would be the next thing we'd see in this case? >> a lot of that will depend on how the deposition with donald trump goes. at this point attorney general letitia james is trying to understand what are the pieces on the board she has and where do they fit. what she's going to be looking for within the course of this deposition is trying to see how much he can connect donald trump himself to some of tin accurate filings and inaccurate statements that her office has uncovered. once she's done that, her office will have to make the difficult decision as to whether to move forward with the civil charge n. which case suing donald trump could be a number of years in the courts in terms of legal entanglements, not being sure you'll get a victory out of this, versus trying to pursue a civil settlement from the trump organization which will result in a number of cash payouts to the state as a result of malfeasance and/or fra

ivanka trump, reportedly has some to the new york attorney general investigating the trump family business. yesterday we learned trump jr. testified. any guess on what she's asking them before she gets to question trump himself? >> imagine, she's trying to get the whole question of how they value their various properties, and how they recorded those evaluations for new york's taxes. again, that's a civil investigation, so the standard of proof is considerably lower than what you would have in a criminal prosecution. it's an evidence standard, as opposed to beyond reasonable doubt. so much easier for the governor to establish guilt. this looks like it is moving closer, and perhaps more close avenue to accountability. >> well we will be watching. jacqui, melissa, clint ross. thank you also much. you definitely worked with us tonight. before we go to break, fads in washington are flying at half staff as we remember house member, jacqui. the indiana congresswoman was killed in a congresswoman car accident earlier today that also claimed the lives of two young staffers on her team. -- she was i

and ivanka trump both came to this very same building and answered questions under oath. they did not invoke their fifth amendment. now, we don't know how long trump's going to be in there, but they can continue to ask him question after question, and he can just keep asserting the fifth amendment. eric trump, the other son of his who runs the trump organization, he was deposed in 2020. at that interview he had asserted the fifth amendment more than 500 times. so waiting to see how long he'll be in here. we're about five hours now, victor. >> five hours, that count can go pretty high. kara scannell, thank you very much. >>> we're also learning new details about the fbi search of mar-a-lago. this came after authorities suspected trump or members of his team did not return all the materials belonging to the government at the end of his term. officials believe these documents had national security implications according to a source. cnn's senior crime and justice reporter kaitlan katelyn polantz joins me now. >> what we're learning is there were pretty serious concerns that l

daughter and she is leading this and that's amazing except for the trump, bill barr, jason miller, ivanka trump hug he remembers of machination basically saying trump knew the election wasn't so hard he knew what he was involved in. the most important aspects for people trust the pressures is to use people from in group, it's very aggressive,r weather is going to stick so far that's been an incredible success. >> what do you say about the times holding the administratioe accountable and waiting until my book came out how do you think about the times in london. >> the new york times is incredible is important work, ukraine, they do great stuff. i expect the times in facebook, thereby for the most influential parts of theirir respective elements the new york times is by far the most influential traditional media organization in the country they are way more, less e competition now, te criticism of the new york times and the larger traditional media, this is not a roadside issue, democracy, we cannot have a political conversation were retrieved democrats trying to run on issues the same as republi

or ivanka trump invoked their fifth amendment right when they testified in new york state over the fraudgation. that's according to a report by nbc news citing two sources close to the negligence. nbc says the son of the former president appeared last week and ivanka testified yesterday >>> in west texas, lift-off for the sixth plu origin sub orbital flight with people aboard. among them, the first folks from portugal and egypt to reach space. unbelievable all right. i'll send it back to you, jon. >> contessa, thank you >>> now, lucid and tesla headed in opposite directions this morning. phil lebeau is here to tell us why. not exact opposite but tesla is flat phil >> tesla is not moving ahead of the annual meeting that will be happening a little later on today. let's start first off with tesla -- or lucid, excuse me the reason lucid is under pressure and it started after the company reported q2 reports after the bell, it is about the production guidance. they cut it by 50% for the full-year production, down to a target of 6,000 to 7,000 vehicles remember at the end of last year they were

york attorney general civil investigation, civil practices, to mourn the death of his ex-wife, ivanka trumpring that period of time, trump has posted this major saudi golf tournament in new jersey. trump has spoken at rallies. he's out there endorsing candidates. when is he going to start answering questions? he appears to be out of the morning period. >> if you're gonna host the saudi sponsored golf tournament, then i say that you are sufficiently prepared, emotionally, to go back and to testify. the decision about the day will sit primarily with tissue chains, the new york attorney general. i've not heard yet that she sit and you take for this to occur, but obviously, it's prime to take place immediately, if not sooner. >> all right then. we'll be watching. joyce vance, thank you for joining us. hopefully, your dog, bella, is on your lap. we thought we might see her tonight, maybe next time. coming up, we're gonna check back with one of the family members, who is spending their nights on capitol hill. why? because she is demanding health care funding -- excuse me, health care funding for

that was delayed because of the passing of ivanka trump. boom, don jr., he was asked some questions. >> yeah. i don't really understand why all -- i know they delayed the trump family. they tried to delay giving any information or talking to -- in the discovery process, giving depositions, but this needs to move along, folks. both doj and the state of new york. they've either gotf the eviden at this point, specially documentary evidence in the civil case in this matter of they're lying about their net worth and they're playing games with charities and taxes and all of that. it's time to put the pedal to the metal and read some conclusions on this stuff because trump is still huge in this election. let's not make any mistake. january 6th committee hearings have changed the way a lot of americans feel about this guy. i'm in a state where i watched these grown men gravel for scraps trying to get any voice of approval from donald trump in a u.s. senate race. >> you wonder why claire spends a lot of time in new york. senator claire mccaskill, phi

remember jared kushner and ivanka trump were people who were viewed at likely unwise people to give top secret information to. there were concerns among the cia officials and career white house staff that jared kushner was so easily manipulated by foreign governments that they did not want him to have access to the holiest secrets of the nation and that would put our national security in grave risk. remember, some of the documents that now the justice department says they retrieved appear to be the kind that if released would cause grave harm to the country's security. the shifting stories are worrisome to i think everyone who is covering this story because you want to understand what was donald trump thinking when he took these records? was he just making a mistake? in which case if you made an honest mistake, say so. that's a pretty easy thing to do. but now to say i can declassify everything when i'm president sounds a little bit far fetched. if you put everything and took it and threw it on to your plane because you're no longer president once you leave, donald trump was not preside

don junior didn't take the fifth, and neither did ivanka trump.nald is doing what he's doing? because in his mind, someone told him that this is going to benefit him. and the reason it's going to benefit him is because he's really stupid. to be very honest with you, if you've ever read any of his depositions, he lies with impunity, and at the end of the day, they would end up getting a second charge on him, which of course would be lying to the authorities. >> so, i mean, the idea of the stupidity on that point, it sounds for many if you think about the strategy here, if the idea is to, on the one hand, convince your supporters and your base that it is wrong to take the fifth although it is your right to do so, it's the government's burden to prove it, and then to be able to turn it around, there's been a lot of support and people saying that's a good decision because everyone's against you, and you're not going to have a fair shot. there's no due process for you whatsoever. you can't comply with the system. what do you make of that sort of though

i don't think lately we've heard much about the civil investigation, but now we know that ivanka trump testified, although we do not know what they said nbc news has confirmed they do not plead the fifth. where is that investigation going? what does this new development potentially tell us? >> i think what we are seeing is really just trying to make the connection and discover exactly how far things are going. one of the roadblocks that have been the case in many of the investigations involving donald trump has been trying to make the right connections. i think switching years by city pat cipollone conversation. his testimony is very valuable. he is one of the few people that can connect transactions, his words, his thoughts to actual criminal activity. i think with respect to what tish james is doing as attorney general, looking into the trump organization on the civil side is really trying to probe and see how far they can connect the dots all the way up to the top to donald trump or one of his senior officials. that is where the investigation is presently. >> thank you both so much.

of testimony directly against the former president or his children, don junior, eric trump or ivanka trumpght now, this appears to be very narrowly focused. it resolves the upcoming legal case against weisselberg. two, it establishes a penalty for him. he is willing to go to jail for the former president, presumably jail time would have been off the table if he had something to provide and if he did cooperate with prosecutors. third, it appears at this point he will provide some testimony against the trump organization when there's the trial against that organization. not all the charges are the same between the two. the trump organization faces some different charges. he will speak to some of that. that's all that weisselberg. we do not expect anything in terms of cooperation. could other members of the organization be on the hook? that's something we will look out for. this does end a significant chapter in this investigation. >> the corporation itself is a closely held family corporation. by going against the corporation, they're going against the interests of the adult children who are

and ivanka trump have now testified in the new york attorney general's civil investigation. behind this one. so talk to me about what your sources are telling you, where the investigation stands and how significant it is they have now talked to these two key players inside the trump family. >> the important part here is that as we continue to speak and hear that these depositions are ongoing and that the a.g.'s office continues to speak to the trumps that really all that's left is the former president. then after that, that's really one of the last major investigative steps in this civil investigation. not a criminal investigation. so i think at some point here in the not so distant future, there's boing to be decisions needed to be made by the new york attorney general's office and by the attorney general herself. so i think that's really the significant part of this. they wanted to speak because the trump organization, as we have discussed on many occasions, really is kind of a family corporation in many ways. obviously, the two people we're looking at on screen play a sig

and ivanka trump have testified before the attorneys from the new york attorney general's office.ast week, ivanka testified yesterday. sources say both of them never took the fifth amendment, which they could have taken, against self-incrimination. new york's attorney general letitia james is investigating the trump organization's finances and whether the firm inflated or deflated real estate valuations to suit their interests. and of course, they're both officers of that corporation. joining us now, "new york times" investigative reporter, susanne craig, who won a pulitzer prize in 2019 for her reporting, her team at "the new york times" on the trump finances. suzanne, thanks for being with us. so former president trump, he fought the attorney general's office for months and months, trying to avoid testimony. suzanne, standby with us for just a moment. we're getting the sentencing, i believe, with brittney griner. >> yeah, absolutely. busy morning. >> we're waiting to get -- we're now reporting that brittney griner has been sentenced to nine years. that is close to the maximum th

. >> this is what ivanka trump told us. >> december 14th was a day in which the electoral college math, when these electors around the country met and cast the electoral vote consistent with the popular vote in each state, obviously, a public proceeding or a series of proceedings that president biden had obtained the requisite number of electors. was that an important day for you? did that affect your planning or your realization as to whether or not it was going to be an end of this administration? >> i think so, i think it was my sentiment, probably prior as well. >> judge deere was a white house deputy press secretary. this was his testimony about what he told president trump. >> i told him that my personal viewpoint was that the electoral college had met, which is the system that our country is set under to elect a president and vice president. and, i believed at that point that the means for him to pursue litigation was probably closed. >> and, do you recall what his response, if any, was? >> he disagreed. >> we have also seen this testimony from attorney general barr, reflecting

it is all the footage of these trump aids, bill barr, jason miller, he ivanka trump, card-carrying members of maga nation, basically saying trump knew the election was not stolen. so it's one of the most important aspects of modern communication strategy where you have a population who are skeptical of politicians generally. it is to use people from your in-group to tell you a message you do not want to hear is very impressive. so whether it is going to stick is up to awesome, what happens going forward -- is up to us, what happens going forward. but thus far, it has been an credible success. >> you sprinkle in some criticism of the new york times. what would you say about the times's lack of holding the administration accountable during those years? or people criticize the reporters who knew things and waited until their books came out. how do you think about the times 's role? >> the new york times does credible journalism. they do really -- does incredible journalism. huge stories they broke. they do great stuff. i picked the times and facebook because they are by far the most influenti
