donald trump -- >> john: i know. >> donald trump has been a pathological liar and lawbreaker his wholemaster of he is facing the accountability he deserves. [cheers and applause] but -- >> john: i want to see the perp walk, that is the only thing i'm dying to see. >> i will confess, of all the crimes he is committed in his life, i never thought of my wildest dreams that he would be taken down by hush payments for a porn star. >> john: true that. >> he is the al capone of american politics. >> john: for real. well put. you are the first openly gay afro-latino congressman. >> outing me publicly. >> john: whoa, whoa. i would never do that, i would never do that. you are part of the hispanic caucus, the black caucus, the equity caucus, don't you think all of these caucuses should caucus together into one ginormous caucus? how would that caucus be? >> for us, diversity is not a source of division, it is a source of unity. >> john: it should be. >> the house democratic caucus is the most diverse legislative caucus in american history. 70% of the caucus consists of members of the lgbtq commun

so, john, donald trump is laying out his proposals making it very clear that his agenda in 2024 if heh points. >> not only cultural flash points, katy, but also the future in 2016 he was basically laid out a vision, certainly talked about issues that he thought he could deliver for the american public such as building a wall between the u.s. and mexico in 2020 we heard about promises made and promises kept obviously a wall not fully built but he made an effort to do that we didn't hear a lot from president trump and certainly not an emphasis from president trump on what he was going to deliver if he got re-elected i think what you're seeing now is an effort to make sure the voters understand what it is that he's going to promise to them and it's also an effort on his part, you know, to make sure that he's got a flag planted in the ground on some of these big cultural issues where folks like ron desantis, the florida governor, have an opportunity to weigh in by the fact they're in office now which trump is not. >> he's in office picking these fights right now can you lay out a little b

until now, donald john trump has no more for no former president has ever surrendered to authorities or been fingerprinted, photographed and arraigned soon. donald trump will be here in washington, d c. shockwaves are spreading from that manhattan grand juries surprise decision to indict the former president in connection with hush money payments to porn star and director stormy daniels here in new york, where the tremors began and from which donald trump first sprang to national attention nearly 50 years ago, authorities are preparing for his arrival. and what could potentially occur because of it. as you look at live pictures of trump tower right now, consider that the man who came down the escalator there almost eight years ago has already incited an attack on congress. and as you look at the courthouse, where he is expected to be arraigned considered, he's already verbally attacked. the district attorney alvin bragg. many times , including again tonight. consider also anderson that in addition to railing against alvin bragg, as he recently also did in waco, texas, mr trump is alre

judges order, requires donald trump's last white house chief of staff, mark meadows, to testify to the grand jury. along with donald trump's last director of national intelligence, john ratcliffe, and donald trump's last national security adviser, robert o'brien. along with other trump white house officials, the trump appeal is trying to claim executive privilege. to block that testimony, we are always lucky when we have neal katyal appearing on this program, we are especially lucky on appeal news nights. because former acting solicitor general the united states, neal katyal, is one of the top federal appeals court practitioners in the united states. in a moment, neal katyal will give us his assessment of the prospects for donald trump's appeal and, even more importantly, the timetable for that appeal. since the legal merits appear slim, to say the least, and with donald trump and the courts, his game is always delay, delay, delay. news reports indicate there may be some kind of delay, happening in manhattan grand jury investigation of donald trump's pay off to the actress, stephanie clifford, also known as stormy daniels, for her silence. just before the 2016 presid

person will be called everything that they called donald trump, whether it's desantis or anybody else, democrats always do this. george w. bush, mitt romney, johne all monsters. >> they were all -- they were all history's greatest monsters. and the only good democrat or the only good republican, i guess, is a dead or defeated one. that's when the praise starts. if you really believe what you say, then you would be happy about -- >> let's start with people who actually >> i'm sorry, i'm sick and tired of hearing republicans whine about hugh we talked about mitt romney in 2012. we exposed his record in the private sector and talked about how he was too extreme on issues like marriage equality and abortion. that is not calling him a monster. if he has a problem with that, maybe he should have voted -- >> guys let's focus on the future. guy's let's not talk -- let's not talk about 2012 because we have a lot to look ahead at. very briefly, because -- obviously a lot of people are -- you heard hakeem jeffries. i asked him about what is going on in washington with the d.c. crime bill which the president said that he will sign. it is a republican bill

will be called everything that they would call donald trump whether it's desantis or anybody else, democrats always do this. george w. bush, mitt romney, johnthey were all monsters. >> they were all history's greatest monsters. >> that's right. >> the only good democrat or the only good republican was the dad because that's when the praise starts. if you believe what you say then you would be happy about the rise. >> let's let -- >> -- the results of the 2020 election. >> let's let liz in because she's been in many war rooms. >> i'm sorry. i'm sick and tired hearing about republicans about how we talked about mitt romney in 2012. all we did was expose his record in the private sector and talked about how he was too extreme on issues like marriage equality and abortion. that is not calling him a monster. if he has a problem with that maybe he should have voted. >> let's focus the future -- >> guys, let's -- >> let's talk -- let's not talk about 2012 because we have a lot to look ahead at. very, very briefly. >> still bitter about it. >> obviously, a lot of people are. >> you heard hakeem jefferies. i asked him about what was going on in wash

thank you, john. >> sandra: donald trump's former lawyer is testifying before a grand jury in the investigationlegedly made on behalf of the former president. he has been probing whether he committed a crime by arranging a payout to stormy daniels before the 2016 election. all this of prosecutors away whether to seek charges against the former president. john. >> john: sandra, ukraine says russia is suffering heavy losses and gruesome fighting over the past week. we will go live to kiev for the very latest in moments. >> sandra: plus, who is to blame for the collapse of silicon valley bank and whether they should bail out the nation's 16th largest bank. so was the bank crisis properly averted by president biden's economic team? what could go wrong? tammy bruce and art laffer are here to make sense of all of it in the dramatic downfall, next. >> you spend almost $7 trillion, print, borrow, spend that much money. then these banks are forced to come in, buy treasuries with no yield. rates rise quickly, and all of a sudden, they are losing money under their if you want to save hundreds of dollars e

but then, where this was, they go after donald trump for paying off a prostitute, but they didn't go after john edwards like your guest said. he had been in a friendly court, they didn't convict him. donald trump is a new york red so of course, they will convict him. all of the stuff with hunter biden. they're going after trump, and nobody, not one person is saying a word about the money to joe biden, coming in from china and those dirty deals. hillary clinton. she never paid. >> terrell is in kentucky, republican. go ahead. >> nice having you on the air. i was listening here a minute ago. i would agree it all comes after president trump right here for something he did not do, but if he did pay her off, i never hear anything more than i care about joe biden, when they find documents, and they're not prosecuting him. or, the special counsel is looking into that, as well as president trump. >> well, that's true, but when they came out dear president trump's car going florida, they busted down his door and help themselves through there. i mean, you can't do that. that is the fourth amendment right

well, wolf three sources tell me and my colleague john miller, that in manhattan grand jury has indicted former president donald trump in connection with the hush money payments scheme. this indictment is under seal, according to sources, and the exact charges are not yet known at this time, but this investigation has been going on for a long time. the decision to move and seek and get an indictment of former president is the first time that has been done in u. s history. this could have a significant impact on the presidential campaign. but as i said, we do not know the exact charges yet. we expect those charges to be made public in the coming days and at some point in the near future, former

with the secret service of what that is going to look like john santucci, our thanks for your reporting again, the former president donald trump, telling john just moments ago they are trying to impact an election. as the former president now runs for the white house again unclear again when he will come to surrender to the charges here in new york city, a manhattan grand jury voting to indict the former president just a short time ago, breaking the news right here. he will be criminally charged. of course, the first time we have seen this play out in our country before. our coverage will continue on abc news live. of course, the entire team as you have seen right here, working hard to report this out. we'll have team coverage on world news tonight. just about 21 minutes from now. in the meantime, we turn to your local news and i'll see you shortly. until then. good day. this has been a special julian: thanks so much for being here for "getting answers" on abc7. i am julian glover. we have been listening into indicted by a grand jury in new york city, all in relation to the hush money payment allegedly made to the porn star, s

thune, yet the issue a statement about donald trump, and it's in diamond showing the divide within the party about donald trump is mitch mcconnell , john thune want to move forward? want to move beyond trump? kevin mccarthy very much knows that donald trump has been central to him as sending to the speakership, aligning himself with donald trump planning to use his power to go after alvin bragg. you're showing just how the part he is still grappling with struggling with dealing with donald trump as he could be expect these criminal charges for the former president to come here being sealed in the coming days here, erin manu. thank you very much. and let's go to washington and evan perez and even i understand you're learning a bit more about this wrinkle this possibly very interesting wrinkle about ron desantis and the extradition policies from florida, right? erin the florida governor, issued a statement just a while ago in which he you know, said this this much, he said. florida will not assist in any intern extradition request, given the questionable circumstances at issue with the manhattan district attorney, and look, it raises som

so bragg has undermined these other cases while he has empowered donald trump in a significant way. >> john: let's talk for a second about robert costello's testimony yesterday. he painted cohen who is a serial liar who is lying. cohen -- he called it the michael cohen revenge tour. he has lied about several things associated with this case in the past. but what benefit would it be to cohen to lie to the grand jury now? >> well, you know, michael cohen has primarily in the past relied on his flexibility when it comes to morals and ethics. that has been his primary advantage for clients. and so he has a rather checkered history, including, of course, a conviction and a disbarment. that's not exactly a witness most prosecutors would relish putting on the stand. this is someone who threatened everyone from journalists to law students while he was a thug essentially for donald trump. >> john: he does know where the bodies are buried. >> here, john, is the problem with that exchange. cohen is going public with this, which is not what the prosecutors would necessarily want. it is rare to have a l

, strong, holding up the nation's code with honor, those are thrown out the window when donald trump attacked john mccain, who spent five years in the hanoi hilton for america, serving the armed forces of the united states, keeping faith with his other prisoners of war. and then it became a joke. it became sort of a show. my problem is as somebody i spent my entire life in the armed forces, i swore an oath to protect and defend the constitution of the united states, i'm a philadelphiaen so i'm an originalist on this particular subject. it really has gone to where the man has become their version of what america represents and but that america as it was designed, as it was planned, as it was going on very nicely until 2016, they no longer want to be part of that, they want to invent their own version of this. i would call it a constitutional autocracy where they can, they don't have a president, they just have a leader who will rule over 65% of the country with his 35%. >> so in reading they want to kill americans, i got the sense that you saw january 6th as a prelude. >> yes. >> rather than a fina

trump now warning of, quote, potential dert and destruction if he's indicted. republican and democratic leaders signalling this kind of rhetoric is very dangerous. here's john karl. >> reporter: facing objections, donald trump threatened death and destruction if he is arrested. it comes after top leaders said there should not be protests if trump is indicted, as he is called for. house leader jeffries called trump's words reprehen and relentless. >> if he keeps it up, he's going to get somebody killed. we've already seen the consequences of incitement from the former president. >> reporter: they are adding barricades around the city's courthouses. trump as called for a protest, but the district attorney's office has received several threatening messages. today white powder was found in the mailroom inside d.a. alvin's office. inside a note, alvin, i'm going to kill you. it was later determined the white powder in the envelope was not a dangerous substance. trump bragged on social media, even calling him an animal. today a major adjustment leading up to january 6. a federal judge has ordered several top trump aides, including mark meadows, to testify before the grand jry. sources familiar with the secr

agains these charges me >> i think that's donald trump's ammo to your point, would however point out that the justice department did not prosecute donald johnp, and in fact was that bomb administration, investigated hillary clinton during the 2016 campaign, so i think trump was weird about th obstacles of that when he' president united states, i think in the justice departmen they're worried about th optics of saint's politica enemies. right now he's promised in that, he says as you pointed out, he says to his crowds, that he' gonna be there justice that is gonna be there retribution what he's doing at the very least, is laying th groundwork to do that if i wins the presidency again. >> he said that he wanted at that rally, it he regrette what they had attorney general said that he wanted harshe attorney generals here to driv his point, and there's video o the january 6th attack tha upper play behind him on stage why has donald trump continu to defend, the defendants of january six? because those are the ones tha have been allied with him. and everyone's allies down the road, he has to defend those that have come and defended hi in the past

donald john trump -- golf club slash wedding venue mar-a-lago, and ron desantis out of tallahassee.s it. that's the choice. forget about nikki haley, mike pence, its former president trump versus ron desantis. this week has served as a stark reminder of how bad that rock and a hard place choice is for the rest of us. for the rest of the country. for all of us non florida, non-republican, non-cuckoo for cocoa puffs folks, i.e. the majority of americans. recall seven days ago, trump was having a fit online pushing false and hysterical claims that he was facing an intimate indictment and arrest on tuesday. spoiler alert, none of that materialized on tuesday or any day of this past week. but that ostensibly mattered little to the former president, and he doubled and tripled down on attacking manhattan da alvin bragg, calling him human scum, an animal, threatening, quote, death and destruction. he kept up the onslaught even after nonslip containing mysterious white powder and a death threat was mailed to brag. i shocking but hardly surprising development giving what donald trump's own ni

john. he voted for donald trump. but he told me that if it ends up being biden against trump again in 2024, he would strongly consider voting for joe biden, which i thought was very interesting. we also spoke to a republican couple who supported donald trump. in the past. they are still supporting donald trump, but they are tiring of his rhetoric. listen what do you think about that sort of language being used? well i think it's not language that should be used by a former president. but i also think he's got the raw deal with everything that has been charged. you know, and i think that it's basically politically motivated. but if he learned how to say things you know with a lesser child on i think would be better off for him. that's really interesting to hear randy and those were all largely republicans. did you speak to any democrats? we spoke to a handful of democrats, john and they pretty much all gave us the same sentiment. they certainly are frustrated with the former president. they feel he's continuing to div

john: it's almost like an amazon warehouse. [audience reacts] >> there is a way out for mike pence, there is a way for donald trump, but neither going to like it. if pence doesn't want to testify against trump, then trump and pence got to get married. >> john: weight? [cheers and applause] what? wait, wait, wait up. what are you talking about, married? >> i'm talking about the law, john! you don't have to testify about your spouse. i know what i'm talking about, i watch all the "law & order"s, even the bad spin-offs. >> john: okay, okay, but still, how can they be married? they hate each other! >> all married people hate each other. it's not like hating your spouse would be a big adjustment for trump. melania would lock him down the aisle himself. "who presents his men for marriage? me do, melania." and also, let's just be real about this, john, trump and pence get married, they might just end up hitting it off. maybe they fall in love, maybe the adopt a child together. the kid grows up to be the whitest kid history. a kid so white he can gentrify a building just by touching it. i'm talking about super white. i'm talking about

his name is john all day -- donald j. trump. i believe he could do it in 24 hours like he says. totally believe that because he's got the experience. he has experience bringing peace to the world. he has done it before. it is not talked with donald trump, he's got the actions to prove it. he destroyed isis, he brokered peace deals in the middle east. he diffuse the threat of a nuclear korea. he did that with a tweet, remember? literally. i am trying to remember, i think it read something like my button is bigger than his and my button works. it's called peace through strength. it was a term coined by ronald and perfected by donald. we need to do that again. i don't even know what biden's philosophy is, weakness? it is so pathetic and sad. time and time again with president trump, when it seemed like the world was falling apart he came in and brought it together. he has these guys back there attacking him left and right, he had the swamp going after him and he was still getting stuff done. and now we have bumbling joe biden. 81 million votes my asked. they must think we must have

, i think it means that there is going to be an indictment of all of the main players here, donald trump, johndows, and rudy giuliani. i think this is going to be a blockbuster indictment. and like i say, the chief witness here is going to wind up being donald trump, who's on tape with brad raffensperger, on tape with the chief investigator for the secretary of state, and now is we find out on tape with the head of the main assembly in georgia. and we also know that he had a conversation that was similar with governor kemp. so there's -- the evidence is piling up here, big-time basically. >> all right, nickachorman, thank you so much, appreciate it. as always good to see you. >>> coming up a push to end the stigma around taking care of your mental health. the lawmaker coming forward with her story hoping it inspires others. stay with us. ♪ ♪ we're reinventing our network... ...with smarter, more efficient routes... ...so you can deliver more value to your customers. fast. liable. perfectly orchestrated. the united states postal service.

john king in washington. thank you for sharing your day with us. the docket and donald trump.oday, a witness tries to undermine michael cohen's credibility and help donald trump avoid indictment in hush money fraud. and the house republicans now war-gaming to attack the prosecutor. >>> plus china's xi jinping touches down in moscow for his face-to-face meeting with vladimir putin. xi says china and russia share key goals. unclear, though, is whether putin gets the help he wants from china for his war in ukraine. >>> and $3 billion. a swiss bank spends big to take over its struggling rival. financial markets are reacting positively, but what does this mean for your money? >>> a first for us, though, a week that could bring history, criminal charges against donald trump. the former president predicts as much saying he expects to be arrested tomorrow. new developments underscore the tension an high stakes. the issue, the 2016 hush money paid to adult film star actress stormy daniels. longtime fixer michel cohen made that payment. trump says cohen falsified business records in the

john dean, cohen, or donald trump? i will tell you for sure, the loser is donald trump. >> yeah. third thing is, you know, and melissa murphy making attorneys get attorneys, these all all attorneys we're talking about on both sides of these accusations. another attorney, and his name is joe tacopina, who has been on the attack against michael cohen. here's a challenge for him representing donald trump. he previously talked to stormy daniels about representing her and law professor ryan goodman points out and new york state has ethics rules that would say it would be difficult to see how he could represent trump should there be a trial after he has attacked stormy daniels and sort of tried to sort of undercut her credibility but he talked about potentially representing her what do you make of all that >> well, anybody who saw his interview by ari melber knows, how can i say this nicely, that he's a clown, that he's a joke grabbing for the evidence, i have never seen anything like that saying it's not a lie because it wasn't under oath. no, perjury is under oath. lies are lies. if

now donald trump. johnyou think comes out of the southern district of new york, if anything? >> the truth is, i have slotly no idea. i have been on pins and needles for two weeks. we remember former president trump said he would be arrested last tuesday. that came and went. the grand jury has met and then it hasn't met and met on monday again but no charges. and maybe it will meet later this week, maybe it won't. the universal consensus i am getting it is a very political investigation. even democrats in new york will be the first to say that. andrew cuomo said it is undermining public trust. people like alvin bragg are elected officials. state attorney general james is an elected official. they ran on platforms to prosecute or bring litigation against trump. so the american people are looking at this saying is this the real deal or are you fulfilling a campaign promise? >> bill: byron. >> to tie it to our first topic you have representative comer again seeking information and jim jordan as well of the hous

ah, but in even more unexpected diplomatic breakthrough followed, donald trump agreed to meet him, john own in singapore. ah, it was an historic 1st and was organized against the advice of the whole of trumps administration. probably going to wash very good, very, very good, excellent relationship. thank you. thank you very much. the 2 ladies find a statement that mention the dean. you clear? i zation of the korean peninsula. kim, you, joan had been the star during her visit to south korea. but at this meeting she remained in the background in the presence of her brother, former us national security advisor, john bolton, was in singapore during the talks. i don't think any of us could have told that she was his sister unless we had seen pictures and knew who she was. she behaved like a staff person and there was no indication of a family relationship. she was at a lunch that we had the day of the negotiations. it was not really a business launch. it was more informal. but i don't remember saying her saying anything during the course of the lunch, i'm not sure. i remember anybody on the

trump. >> john, let's talk about alvin bragg and donald trump.d trump continues to attack bragg in his speeches and social media platform, even though alvin bragg has a death threat. people saying that donald trump is rolling up his base, he wants to create another january 6th. last i checked, january 6th did not work out for trump. why would he do this again? >> it may be that he is not able to help themselves. he identifies an enemy and picks him out and goes after him. i think what is really stunning to me here is that, if you are donald trump and you watch the all work in recent years, everything that you've been said and tweeted has been used in a quarter flaw against you. remember that with the muslim ban and other things. charges have said that -- i'm going to count this. in the event that something happens, and in the terrible event that something happens and is attempted to be done to alvin bragg and we've seen white powder being sent to his office. and then donald trump is being tried over january 6th and prosecutors are making an argum

. >> sandra: and john, furthermore, former president donald trump speaking out about what he calls america'st threat and a campaign video, he said america's greatest threat is not russia by our own citizens. the former president also called for peace between ukraine and russia but did not say how he would accomplish that if elected. john. >> john: all right. it is st. patrick's day, which means irish pubs across the country have lines out the door, and that means lots of cash in the kitty from all of those pints, corned beef and cabbage. fox business's madison alworth is still waiting to get in the door -- no, she got in the door of the east end pub. all this celebrating music to the ears of pub owners, madison. >> my gosh, yes. not only in, i'm behind the bar. they have been rowdy here all day at the east end bar and grill enjoying, we have a bagpipe over there, this place is full of people celebrating, and it is very good news for the bar owner here because so much money is spent on this holiday. we are talking $7 billion is going to be spent celebrating this very exciting day and ken east

abc news can project that john cassic has defeated donald trump in his own state. >> in america conservatismwith conservative principles, but everyone has a chance to rise. >> that's a view of conservatism from governor john kasich and i'll remind folks he knows the whole terrain pretty well and served as a congressman for close to two decades and knowing many of the people who come up in the chairperson positions and two-term governor as mentioned and the way many non-political junkies learned about him, that presidential run. the governor and congressman joins us now for his beat debut and his new role as an msnbc analyst. an old in the world tonight, but you're here with us. we appreciate that. thanks for being here. >> i was listening to the circus and you can't even say it's a circus. it's a three or four-ring circus from what i can tell as i listen to you. as the head of the big top, amazing. >> okay, i like the way you put it. i imagine we'll get to that. we have been on some of that for the hour. before we get over to that story, i did want to get your views on what we might call con

policy in general, joining us now is john ratcliffe, national intel under donald trump, for ron desantisit's a territorial dispute and we can't stay there for as long as it takes, both of those positions are correct as factual matters, are they not? >> well, let's listen and talk to all kinds of republicans and they agree on this, this is an unnecessary war, vladimir putin has invaded ukraine twice, both times joe biden has been in the white house, and so i think where republicans are disagreeing is this is joe biden's mass, now how do we fix it? how do we get out of this? and when you hear ron desantis and donald trump and other saying, that there is a crisis in leadership here that there is zero confidence in joe biden as commander-in-chief, he has had zero success, and so there is zero confidence in him. he was a disaster as commander in chief and afghanistan, and then now let's look at this policy or strategy with regard to ukraine, first it started out as there was not going to be a war, because he was going to deter tin, then he was okay with the small incursion, then when vladimir

and so, whether that is true for joe biden or john fetterman or aoc, or donald trump, that voice needs to be fairly consistent. the ultimate way we speak about things is a reflection of the way the president does. there is a team there's a team e that we are executing on that, but he is really the guy. the style is like the president really cares. people don't know what acronyms are. people don't know what it's like to say x y and c acronym or whatever so you have to explain something. you have to explain things like the person you're talking to has no perception of what's going on. i think it flows from the way he likes to talk to people. >> how you go about utilizing social media when it's at the peak of controversy? >> where we been successfully building audiences? where is it taking a lot more work than it ought to be? we sort of think about it that way. we started basically on facebook, instagram, youtube, twitter and snap. we expanded. and texts. we can give you the number. and we have a subscription list there as well. we are always trying to reach as many people as possible wit

also joining us remotely is john sale, who turned down an offer to join donald trump's legal team, john . thank you very much for being with us remotely tonight. really looking forward to having you here. do you regret your decision not to take on trump as a legal client tonight? no i have absolutely no regrets, but i'm happy to be with you tonight, alice. happy to have you so you say that you sense legally the walls closing in around donald trump. how so? well. there are four different investigations and briefly as to each one of them. i think the most serious one right now is the most serious threat is the moral lago. the document? uh, classified document case and with evan corcoran what he has the ability either to severely incriminate the former president . or he could also exonerate him because what we don't know is we don't know what he's going to say. but if he does say that he unknowingly acted at the former president's behest and misled the grand jury and did not tell the truth. that could be 1000 and one violation obstruction violation, so, but we're not going to know because

donald trump never called him an animal. donald trump has never called kim john in an animal. s suspected of murdering his brother, has definitely murdered countless officials in his government, and has starve to death, thousands and thousands of people in north korea and donald trump not only does not call him an animal don trump says he found and love with him. and those people are not animals, they're human beings, they're human beings that committed murder, but they are main human beings in the eyes of the law, and according to the clear christian teachings. donald trump's supporters, claim that they follow religion. but they don't. donald trump, called avonburg something else today, he said that this attorney alvin bragg, is the gestapo. but worse. the gestapo were adolf hitler's not secret police, who murdered people, rounded up people, sent them off to death camps to be gassed, by the millions, and of germany, the trump for the district history of manhattan is a gestapo, but to make very clear what he means, he then says, but worse. it doesn't say the district attorney w

there are some key differences between edwards' case and potential new york indictment of donald trump.5a■ for one, john pleaded guilty to federal crimes. for his role in paying hush money to adult film actress, stormy daniels, to keep her quiet about her sexual affair with trump ahead of the 2016 election. joining me now is andrew weissman, msnbc legal analyst, former fbi general council ande former senior member of the mueller probe. i wawv■ to get into the reasons why the case against trump is state andok edwards was federal. we have some new news that's just come in from abc. speciale1 counsel claims trumpx deliberately misled his own attorneys about those classified documents. a judge had ruled that jack smith's office showing the former president had committed criminal violations and that the attorney client privileged could be pierced, adding that f these lawyer, ng that was order-to hand overe1 a he described as trump's alleged in handwritten notes and transcription. now significant is that? >> i'm so glad you started with this because joy, this could be essentially the ball game forar bringing

trump denies any wrongdoing, calling the indictment political persecution and election interference. 0ur north america correspondent, john sudworth, reports. the masssed ranks of the media say it all. donald trump's provided plenty of big moments in american politics, but few bigger than this — his own imminent arrest. this is an abc news special. now reporting, david muir. we are coming on the air early because of breaking news at this hour. a grand jury here in new york city has handed up an indictment against former president donald trump. the news was confirmed in an angry statement from the former president, blaming his political opponents. the democrats, he said, have done the unthinkable. the case against him centres on this woman, the porn star known as stormy daniels. ahead of trump's 2016 election win, she was paid $130,000 to stop her going public with claims she had had an affair with him — something he denies. his fixer and lawyer, michael cohen, was convicted over that payment, along with other charges, back in 2018. since out ofjail, he's been giving evidence to the grand jury that's now decided charges are warranted. this is not revenge, right? what this is is about accoun

without donald trump released, he'll use it to his advantage. carry before we go. john edwards, former democratic presidential candidate looms large in all of this because of the similarities with the campaign finance violation. do you think those similarities are really at play here? well so that was you know it was a different case, but i think it does provide just a historical marker to indicate that when you're talking about payments made to women in these types of situations, um it's not necessarily clear cut, and that also involved the campaign finance laws. so you know, one of the reasons that we are so and i am personally so interested to see the indictment and whether it indicates that it relies on that campaign finance connection, which is the similarity to the edward this case is that whether or not this type of payment goes in that direction, and the fact that the federal government appears to have passed on bringing that case, that's a key point. and also there's a question here of intent. how much was trump knowingly doing something that may have been by t

donald trump is no longer president. we ain't getting deported. [cheers and applause] >> john love that about you. >> listen, it's only taken ten hosts for them to have a latino host. >> john: [laughs] who is counting? >> i am really happy that you grateful to you because you do that, you are so consistent. you have been consistent your entire life in elevating voices. [cheers and applause] >> john: thank you. thank you, thank you. >> it has taken ten, let's not [bleep] it up. >> john: better not [bleep] this up. there is no way we can. look at this great audience we have got here. [cheers and applause] yeah. [laughs] they love it when you toss it to them. [laughter] anyway. you know, republicans are so good at coming after latinos. they go to the whatsapp, they go to our spanish stations, they throw in the trigger words like "socialism" and "authoritarianism." why are the democrats falling behind? why are the democrats not coming after us? >> listen, i think, first of all, they take it for granted. i think a lot of people thought, you know, they are not going to vote for dona
