donald trump made this kind of inexplicable flip flop, and we don't know if that is because his business and finances are getting this huge help from a number of folks, predominantly including jeffrey yass. donald trump has made clear for years that he is open to being influenced by whoever supports his company financially, whether it's for governments, individuals, or other openings, this appears to be, potentially, the latest example of it. >> sophia, we don't know what we don't know. i have everything out there that we do know, based reporting of things out there, but it seems that bytedance, parent company of tiktok and tiktok, are central to this whole thing. you have got trump social, jeff yass, all that other stuff, but there's is weird tiktok flashpoint in the middle of all this. what you make of all of it? >> yeah. trumpelmann truth social post, that one post coming out against the tiktok office that is made a splash. it made it much harder for this ban in congress to pass the senate. it already passed the house, and trump's allies tell me that they're not voting against it, but everybody knows where trump's is. it really came as a shock. you got trump saying that it's abo

jeffrey clark. the disgraced former doj official who donald trump appears to have installed as the acting attorney generaljanuary 3rd, 2021. and furtherance of trump's alleged efforts to stop the peaceful transfer of power to president-elect joe biden. and that's not all. rudy giuliani, jenna ellis and sydney powell and others all face similar bar license consequences. >> laga making attorneys get attorneys. joining us now to discuss is kyle cheney senior legal affairs reporter at politico. and mary mccord forming acting assistant attorney general at the justice department. >> also the co-host of a wonderful podcast prosecuting donald trump and she is at msnbc legal analyst. welcome. >> so mary, kyle, it seems like the only accountability we're going to get for some of these other people who were in the trump world and allegedly orchestrated some of these election interference schemes is going to be through these professional disbarment procedures. what can we learn from these procedures and what are the kinds of findings that the judges are making here and what can they tell the american public about the

witnesses are called the same type of people who may be called to testify against donald trump yesterday on the stand in the jeffrey clark attorney discipline proceeding. >> we >> heard from richard donahue, a testifying under oath, the former deputy attorney general, who was one of the voices pushing back against clarke and trump moos strongly, patrick filled-in also was testifying yesterday. and so this is a precursor to the criminal trials that we are very likely cli to see. >> and of course, ashley, we're heading into a election season where trump has sort of already previewed him. he's, he's saying to his supporters, this needs to be too big to rig my victory needs to be two big to rig, like we're, we're heading for another round of legal challenges if trump loses, here, are there gonna be any lawyers left for him? >> well look i. think one of the things about the legal profession is that everyone deserves representation. and so including donald trump no matter how much you despise >> but >> for lawyer, i don't know if there's going to be enough lawyers lead any lawyers for donald trump, but when you were in l

>> i think donald will be able to borrow or come up with a cash, he may do it through his newfound friend jeffrey very large stake in bytedance, the owner of tiktok, which donald, you know, tried to bar by executive order two years ago. and now is it very much in favor of and, so i see that he in all likelihood will succeed in this. and i agree with with both jeffrey and jennifer that it's perfectly reasonable for the court to do this, and courts have done this in other cases. set the bond much lower. in this case, the bond is essentially half the pre-interest amount of the judgment. >> so any jeff, i mean, any property i mean, letitia james is not able to seize anything and his and he can still own a business. to jennifer's point, he can still run a business. >> he can still, you know, go on, go on as before. as long as he posts the 170, hundred and 75 million. but remember this judgment is still against him. and that will be, you know, go through the appellate process if he loses the appellate process. and the court did say the appellate process has to move forward faster than usual, this will

jeffrey clark. well, that's why we have the insurrection act. so he was talking about donaldalling out the military that put down protests if there were protell uses if trump stayed in office. and there's a link between that and today, which is why accountability is important. jeffrey clark is still out there. he's now reportedly working with project 2025 which comes out of the heritage foundation. it's a whole agenda for trump should he become elected again. and what he supposedly is working on is how to invoke -- how to use the insurrection act and how trump could use it on day one. again, there there are protests how they can call out the military to quash the unrest. what he's talking about in 2020 he's talking about again. he's not been shamed -- he's never come out and said he was wrong. he was pushing this crazy theory that somehow smart thermostats were used to change election results. i don't know if it was the chinese or the venezuelans or italians who were doing this, but it was bonkers. i mean that's the thing, he was pushing a crazy idea and the acting attorney g

and then here it is, victory, he's in conversations with jeffrey yost, that's the major tiktok investor and all of a sudden donaldmp switched his position on tiktok. he also spoke with elon musk so he is working it. i think it's possible he could come up with the money. although i don't think the hush money case may hurt him as much at the civil case, if he's ever put on trial in washington, d.c. for the election interference case, the one that's put on hold, then i think that could really hurt and because that is a case that resonates with the american people because we all saw what happened on january 6th. >> point well taken. we have to see what's going to happen on that one as well. >>> a former supreme court justice weighs in on the dobbs decision as the nation's highest court gets ready to tackle a new abortion case this week. we all need fiber for our digestive health, but less than 10% of us get enough each day. good thing metamucil gummies are an easy way to get prebiotic, plant-based fiber. with the same amount of fiber as 2 cups of broccoli. metamucil gummies the easy way to get your daily fiber. (man)

jeffrey sooner rather than later. congressman, you made the point that does whether donald trump goes to trial and is convicted beforeer because the people will be able to see it. there is a real chance that donald trump could win reelection. i think the biden campaign has more money and a better message and a better candidate and a better record. they have done real, tangible things for the american people from internet access to expanding childcare and infrastructure. donald trump has promised for four years. joe biden brought infrastructure week. even still, there are people out there supporting donald trump. what happens if, in fact, he will win and you have things like james comer saying, now they moved from, we want to hear biden testify and either way, we will recommend criminal liability to the justice department in hopes that trump will win and take it up. diabolical. >> a criminal referral requires a crime. if they found a crime, they would be impeaching him for it. they did not find a crime. the only crimes identified were their own witnesses across the country. one of the guys is a chinese intelligence as

because jeffrey clark showed the ex-president that he was more than willing, he was excited to pursue donaldud, that he would attempt to use the power of the justice department to keep trump in power even though he'd lost the election. but thanks to men like donohue and others at doj who said they would resign en masse if clark was given the position, clark was not installed for long. now, three years later we're hearing publicly from another of those key figures who acted as one of the guardrails in stopping trump's attempt to ev throw the leadership of the justice department. this man's name is patrick philbin. he had a history with clark. he'd worked with him back in the '90s. so when the idea of putting clark at the top of doj was circulating around the white house and especially with trump, philbin called his colleague to talk him out of it. quote, i tried to explain to him it was a bad idea for multiple reasons, philbin recalled. quote, he would be starting down the path of a short failure. if by some miracle somehow it worked, there'd be riots in every major city in the country. and i

georgia, the last white house chief of staff, mark meadows and jeffrey clark could be on their way to prison at the end of that case as could donaldtrump's legal team including giuliani who illegally tried to overturn the election. joining us now is former chief of the criminal division. he's the co-author of the new best selling book, "the trump indictments." and tim o'brien is with us, the senior executive, and he is host of the bloomberg podcast crash course. an msnbc political analyst. andrew, what happens now? donald trump can go forward with his apeel, but his assets will not be protected, which means they could start closing in on some of those assets? >> absolutely. he is allowed to appeal. >> and he is claiming to his followers they won't let me appeal unless i put up half a billion dollars. that's a lie? you can appeal? >> that is a lie. exactly. this has to do with the judgment and whether it could be enforced. to be clear, it is enforced now, but the attorney general in new york has given, which is fairly common, a 30-day grace period to him to basically either put up the money or put up the bond. and so that 30 days e

. >> barr left with a perfectly lovely note about how great donald trump was rather than go along with the big lie. he was replaced by jeffrey rosen who clark also tried to oust. here's the thing, the footage we played you like a weird -- you are in a zoo meeting in 2020 for hr training. that is the way this is playing out. all of these are unfolding like that at the very furthest margins of public consciousness. in hearings that are live streamed to a few hundred, maybe a few dozen people. mostly cable news producers. but these findings i think can and will help shape public understanding. the reason, and this is really important, there is a different way for these allegations after they are fairly vetted for some kind of open process and fact- finding. it's not just people saying this or people saying that. there is a process. what happened here? is this okay or not? did you violate the standards of ethics necessary to practice law? that is why it is so important to litigate the plot to end american democracy in full public view with all of the constitutional protections of our system, because so much of the big lie in the

this case, he has been meeting with at least once jeffrey yes, worth about $25 billion, and owns 7% of bytedance, the parent of tiktok. as president, donaldd an executive order banning tiktok. a court threw that out because he does not have the authority to do that. he said it was a national security threat. now he is saying we need tiktok. how interesting. he makes friends with the guy who has his fortune tied up in tiktok and suddenly he is in favor of tiktok. amy: we have recently heard what is it steve mnuchin, one of his cabinet members trump trump,'s old cabinet members is trying to put together a team to buy bytedance. is that right? you have billionaires owning x, elon musk, right wing come also owning tiktok. >> what you're saying because of a series of supreme court decisions come the most important of which was citizens united, is the conversion of american democracy into a cash register business. whoever has the most money can buy the government policies they want. there is a desperate need to change this. steve mnuchin was trump's treasury secretary, became very wealthy by taking over a failed savings and loan and then enforc

trumps last white house chief of staff, mark meadows and jeffrey clark could be on their way to prison at the end of that case, as could donaldteam including rudolph giuliani who illegally try to overturn the presidential election. joining us now is andrew weissmann, former fbi general counsel. he is the co-author of the new best-selling book, "the trump indictments," in tim o'brien is with us, the senior executive editor of bloomberg opinion and author of trump nation. he is host of the bloomberg podcast, "crash course." enter, what happens now? donald trump can go forward with his appeal but his assets will be protected from the bond which means the attorney general could presumably start closing in on some of those assets. >> absolutely. he is allowed to appeal and that has nothing to do with his bond. >> is claiming to his followers, they won't let me appeal unless i put up the half billion dollars to appeal. that's a lie. you can appeal. anyone can appeal. >> yes, that is a lie. this has to do with the judgment and whether it can be enforced. to be clear, the judgment is test technically enforceable now, but the attorney

president itself meaning his loyalty was not owed to donald trump as a person but to the institutions. it remains to be seen what will happen to jeffrey clark in those proceedings. >>> the ntsb reveals details about what went wrong with the dali cargo ship before it crashed into the francis scott key bridge. jay gray is in baltimore for us. what new have we learned? >> reporter: well, they've pulled the voyage data recorder and are getting snapshots of what was going on before and during the time that ship slammed into the francis scott key bridge and it crumbled into the waters below. we know that alarms were going off at the time. they've also pulled audio recordings, which they are working to analyze and clear up the muddled sound on that. the ship lost power and propulsion just minutes before the accident, and we had heard that. now we know that investigators are spending a lot of time, i'm told, inside the engine room on the ship right now. they are back on the ship for a second day. they want to figure out how that loss of power, how that loss of propulsion happened, and why black smoke was billowing from the stack of the ship j

indications that he started a relationship with jeffrey yas, the multibillion dollar who owns 7% of the parent company tiktok, which you may recall four years ago, donaldanning it, a judge threw out the order as a threat to national security, but now donald thinks tiktok is just great, which tells you a lot about how donald's policy change with who is talking to him on money. >> last month you said, and again, this was under the idea that there was a $454 million bond that he needed and that has been reduced substantially. you said his next move could be personal bankruptcy. trump has said himself in the past that he has never filed for bankruptcy. take a look. >> i have never gone bankrupt, by the way. i have never. >> sir, you're lying, your companies have gone bankrupt. >> what am i saying? out of hundreds of deals that i have done, hundreds, on four occasions, i have taken advantage of the laws of this country like other people. i'm not going to name their names because i'm not going to embarrass. virtually every people on the front pages of the business sections, they have used the law. >> so could trump, do you think if it came to it be willing t

what really matters is what leader jeffrey says because i think that is where the majority of come -- of the conference is going to take his lead. >> donaldmp has to find half $1 billion fairly quickly. he has until monday to post a bond covering the full amount of the $454 million civil fraud judgment against him, as he appeals this ruling. if he cannot somehow find the money, the new york a.g. letitia james might start seizing some of his assets to help cover the obligation. david, for any candidate running for public office, especially the presidency, who is short on cash and who has to find $454 million, that is a serious liability and also it raises in this case of national security questions. >> yeah, i mean, i have a few problems with the seizure, the associated press did a good survey, they looked at 70 years of cases like this and in cases where there was no clear victim, they've never cease assets before. -- seized assets. for people think this is a political witch hunt, i find it alarming. it is what it is. so he has to raise a lot of money really fast. and can he do it through truth social come his very weird online social med

happening not just john eastman, but jeffrey clark and rudy and sidney powell none of this could have happened without them. they were the enablers that took donald trump's wild fantasies and gave the legal imprimatur to it and really spurred this whole thing on. so these i feel sorry for someone in a human sense when they lose their license, when they get indicted, or when they get sued. but i just don't feel any sympathy here because they've earned all of this. >> well, i mean if someone at home is feeling sorry for him, which i'm not sure. many people are for johnny spin. as we were waiting for this to come down. and katelyn poland. so i call it and i were talking about the ramifications of this. i was thinking about what johnny has been said after he turned himself in georgia because he is a co-defendant of trump's there. and whether he ever regretted tying himself to trump >> do you still think the election was stolen >> absolutely. >> absolutely. >> no question. >> do you regret attaching your name to the former president? none whatsoever. the president calls and ask for representation. i think every citizen in my position should be willing

investigative journalist, who's covered donald trump for more than 30 years, david this judge recommending john eastman should be disbarred on the same day, jeffrey clark faces trial to determine whether he will be punished >> when you think about it, these >> are just two of the many lawyers facing potential quantic consequences for their role in the 2020 election scheme. rudy giuliani, his law license was suspended in new york. eight lawyers in total charge in the georgia case. what is remarkable is how donald trump continued he's to attract people to do his bidding given the consequences for many of them, how was he able to do that >> well, in fact, seen people go to prison for donald trump >> people who >> need to feel attached to something important. we'll simply surrender their integrity three, if they had me in the first place in order to be close to donald, you donald was always said, i hired the best people, the very best people. well, occasionally he does get the very best people. they leave the people he attracts are the absolute worst, including all of these lawyers who tried to overthrow our government and met, other crimes on donald

now i also just want to point out that donald trump was also posting about this on truth social last week in that post came just hours after he met with jeffrey yaz. he's someone who has a big republican donor and also has a huge stake in tiktok, more than $30 billion and here you see that post there where he wrote, if you get rid of tiktok facebook and zucker schmuck will double their business. i don't want facebook, who cheated in the last election doing better? they are true enemy of the people. we're going to see this continue to play out this week. but i also just want to note monitor that when i spoke with trump's advisers, they argue that unlike with the bipartisan border bill that we saw donald trump really go scorched earth on and really have a role in tanking it. they argue that he doesn't feel the same way about this, that if congress decides that they want to move forward with this bill, he will support them in that decision. >> we shall see what the house should do. we'll do this week. alayna treene, thanks for that report and that's my question to you. seung man what will that how do you think this is going to affect house repub

donald trump is entitled to a defense. only a defense that complies with the rules of ethics. i think the disbarment of john eastman and the charges against jeffrey clark are appropriate and sends a message to lawyers who violate the response abilities and their oath as lawyers in the name of defending someone was become a demigod. >> thank you for being here. for those watching right now, make sure you get the book. it is selling out fast and is amazing. >>> still to come on "the katie phang show" , fundraising face- off. after blockbuster call for president biden at a recent event for president biden in the city, trump says he plans to be 10. >>> the campaign targeting nikki haley voters. and the democratic lo mein voting blitz coming. keep it right here on msnbc. n . an alternative to pills, voltaren is a clinically proven arthritis pain relief gel, which penetrates deep to target the source of pain with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medicine directly at the source. voltaren, the joy of movement. meet the jennifers. jen x. jen y. and jen z. each planning their future through the chase mobile app. jen x is planning a summer in portugal with so

obviously came jeffrey's talking there about the fact that there was this massive border security bill that was agreed upon, negotiated by very conservative senator james lankford. donald trump comes in, says, i don't want this, i don't want to fix this problem right now. now this is easier if i have it as a political problem the reality though, is that, you every day that we're talking about this issue as a day that honestly republicans have a leg-up. >> if you look at who trusts >> who is trusted in the country on this issue, it's republicans, it's not president biden what do you see here in terms of this decision and how this is actually playing out politically we'll look, you've got the texas governor, greg abbott. you've got the texas legislature saying the federal government hasn't handled this problem. we're going to step in and handle it. we have the right to do so. we're going to actually go forth and do it. you now have president biden in his administration being forced to try to take a softened approach towards a legal immigration by suing texas. now, they may have constitutional grounds and tenth amendment grounds of the rest of it. they may have a whole bu

co-chair jeffrey katzenberg for the biden campaign, was that not only are they bringing in more money? but it's better used money two, because it doesn't have to go toward legal fees as donald trump's funder, fundraising has been used to defray his own legal costs. kristen >> hela. thank you so much. and so with this now, we have kristen holmes and you, kristen even listening to kayla talk about this record hall that the biden campaign brought in how does the trump campaign try to make up that ground? no we'll yesterday when the biden campaign, cambodian came up with this number for the first time saying they were going to bring in more than $25 shortly afterwards, we started hearing from on background campaign sources. this fundraiser, they're holding next weekend, they plan on bringing in more than that more than $33 now, we of course, would be watching because all of this is public information. they will have to actually file this in these financial disclosures, but we won't know that until the end of next month. but one thing is clear, what we're starting to see with republicans is that they are coming together around donald trump. we'd already reported on this april 6t
