msnbc legal correspondent, lisa rubin is following this. lisa, i know you have been looking through this for hours now. there are a couple of thousands of pages here. what have you been seeing that stands out? >> i have been pouring over these. i want to give credit where it's due, to kyle cheney of "politico" who was the first to notice, among these documents, there is a portion of testimony that is credited only to a white house employee. we don't have that person's name. this is testimony that was never made public during the january 6th investigation itself. but when republicans took over the hours, they then released this transcript with some redactions earlier this year. we now have seen a further unredacted version of portions of this transcript, where this white house employee who appears to be a valet is recounting how he told former president trump on january 6th that the rye rioting started at the capitol. former president trump wanted to know if the valet had been successful in taping the speech that he was giving at the ellipse.

back with us lisa rubin. what have you seen? what we have seen is stuff that's already been public. that's not entirely surprising, because the special counsel's office warned that they would be sealing and asking the court to redact much of what has not been public information and specifically the contents of witness interviews and grand jury testimony. a lot of what we have seen so far are the former president's tweets, including data that seems to have come from twitter itself, authenticating these were, in fact, his tweets and retweets. the other thing we are seeing is information about how funding for the january 6 rally itself developed. that information, again, is not entirely new, but it's information that we are not accustomed to seeing. that will strike some people as new in part because there has been so many months since the conclusion of those january 6 hearings. to see which organizations were involved in the planning of the rally, what they were being given for, how much that rally cost in totality. it was estimat

joining me now is lisa rubin who has been writing about the document release. i lost the thread a little bit. >> these documents were used by the team to support the immunity brief. when they wrote to the judge and submitted a 175 page brief saying this is why our indictment should survive the immunity decision. they support about narrative with a heavily footnoted brief. the footnotes went to citations. these are all the documents. today's appendix is heavily redacted. scores of pages are fully sealed. we don't see what is on page after page. what we can see gives us an understanding of how jack smith wanted the judge to understand. >> it is the universe of evidence that supports the brief . we can survive the ruling. what are the redaction's? >> anything the government considered sensitive under the existing protective order that was entered when they first started turning over discovery, that remain sealed. for example, if somebody gave a transcript interview to the fbi or they gave grand jury testimony, we don't see that at all nor do we see the name of a w

with me at the table msnbc legal correspondent lisa rubin. let me read a little bit more to you all. on page 4, quote, at its core the defendant donald trump's scheme was a private criminal effort in his capacity as a candidate the defendant used deceit to target every stage of the electoral process, which through the constitution the electoral contact and state laws includes the state's notification to the federal government of the selection of their representative electors based on the popular vote in the state. the meeting of those electors to cast their votes consistent with the popular vote and congress' counting of the electors' votes at a certification proceeding. at its core the scheme was a private criminal effort. that feels like one among many of the headlines, andrew weissmann. >> nicolle, i don't like to jump to something that sounds like hyperbole, but there is no question that there are repeated bombshells in this submission and i cannot tell you that i've finished the 165 pages. let me tell you why i think this is so devastati

i want to bring in msnbc legal correspondent lisa rubin. so lisa, georgia's been under a lot of scrutiny for changes to its election rules but now there's a new ruling when it comes to certifying the vote. tell us about that. >> that ruling, chris, from judge robert mcbirney of fulton county superior court is making clear to georgia counties that regardless of actions taken by the georgia election board to apparently make certification more flexible he's saying that georgia law makes it unambiguous, the county boards have an obligation to certify their votes by a date certain, even likening it to the "lord of the rings" where the gandalf character says "you shall not pass." he says the word shall means it, that it means must, that county boards are under an obligation to certify their votes and they have to do it by a date certain, chris. >> lisa rubin, thank you for that. let's go to north carolina, where authorities say they arrested a man suspected of making threats against fema employees. nbc's laura strickler is reporting on that. what

msnbc legal correspondent lisa rubin is here today with more. what did we learn today, lisa?earned a couple of things. we learned that not only are there potentially additional charges against mayor adams, but the governor could supercede or replace their indictment with an incident that also charges other defendants. they were very clear that there are a number of related investigations that they are ongoing and therefore, if they supercede the indictment there could be new charges against adams as well as other defendants brought into this mix. >> when are we going to learn the details? what's the time line for trying adams on the existing charges? >> well, the judge today did not set a trial date. adams' lawyers wanted him to. they want the case against adams to be done one way or another by the end of march. that's when the signatures for the mayoral primary ballot are being collected from new york city residents. they want this case either dismissed or the trial to be over by then. however, we did see schedules being set for lots of pretrial motions incoming their motion

to my next guest, msnbc legal correspondent lisa rubin.ection board. a judge saying, huh-uh, just because you think there might be fraud doesn't mean you can't certify the results. explain the ruling. >> katy, the ruling was in a suit brought by fulton county board of elections member julie adam. she brought suit after failing to certify results after may's primary, saying she shouldn't have to vote to certify if she had real questions about the integrity of an election. judge mcburney of the fulton county superior court, a familiar face to some of us because he was involved, among other things, the special purpose grand jury that authorized fani willis' own lawsuit and inquiry. mcburney ruling today that the statute says what the statute says. county election superintendents or boards of election must certify an election, that it is not discretionary but, rather, mandatory for them to certify the results of an election by 5:00 p.m. on the following monday. to the extent that they have questions about potential fraud, those are questions t

msnbc legal correspondent lisa rubin is here in studio with me.re was a real fight over this because doj argued it was unlawful to do this close to an election. but give us the ground and tell us what happened here. >> so, chris, a federal statute called the national voter registration act that prohibits running these voter purge programs, voter role maintenance programs within 90 days of a primary or general election. here virginia governor glenn youngkin implemented his program, exactly 90 days before the general election. and it was on that basis, plus the fact that they had examples of citizens who were unlawfully purged from the voting rolls that cause the department of justice to seek a preliminary injunction of that program. they won in the lower court, they won in an intermediate appeals court. that's when glenn youngkin went to the supreme court and sought a stay of that decision and basically he does not -- he no longer has to restore the 1600 people to voting status. >> and the trump campaign is now suing bucks county, saying that they

joining us now, msnbc legal correspondent lisa rubin., we have had it for all of, i think, four minutes. we obviously haven't been able to go through all of it. still, this was what we thought would be sort of a mini trial. here is the evidence we have against donald trump in regards to what happened in 2020. is there anything so far that is jumping out to you now that we didn't know about before today? >> well, katy, one of the things that i would just point out is that we obviously know who the government thinks donald trump's most important coconspirators are. in this indictment, there is a description of six coconspirators, the majority of whom have been definitively identified before. that having been said, one of the things that pops out to me immediately is how many people here are identified just by p numbers, meaning they're not people alleged to be coconspirators, but they are people who are alleged witnesses or participants in the event, and there are so many of them that even on page 13, which is as far as i've gotten, there'

lisa rubin is here to break it down for us. this is a pretty extraordinary ruling.orced? how will ruby freeman and shea moss get control of giuliani's apartment, for example? >> the order requires rudy giuliani to transfer those assets, the ones that you were just talking about, and others, to them as receivers for the property. and i should note, usually it doesn't come to this. usually when somebody has a judgment against them, they try to pay that judgment. and if they can't pay the totality of that judgment, there are steps taken for them to pay it, for example, over time, or a judge intervenes. he tried to declare bankruptcy to evade the judgment and when the judge found that he was essentially abusing the bankruptcy code in order to evade the judgment, he ended up back in a new york federal court where freeman and moss asked for this order transferring rudy's assets to them so that they can begin to liquidate them in satisfaction of that $146 million judgment. >> does this happen immediately or could rudy giuliani appeal? >> he has to do it within seven days.

joining us now from the courthouse in philadelphia, lisa rubin, msnbc legal correspondent. good morning. what exactly is this all about. >> reporter: well, jose, what this is about is the lottery that elon musk's america pac has been running, where if you are a registered voter or become a registered voter in one of seven swing states and go to his pac's website, you can then sign a petition, which makes you eligible for a lottery of sorts where one voter a day wins a million dollars. so far he's given away $12 million including to four pennsylvanians. and that's what prompted philadelphiakraz krasner come h elon musk from doing that. instead of walking away with an injunction this morning, what happened last night is really what has changed everything. elon musk now trying to move this case to federal court and by doing so has effectively paused state court proceedings. i want to give you an opportunity to listen to one of d.a. krasner's lawyers who spoke as he was coming out of court today. >> we are going to handle this case and continue to handle this case on mischief n

msnbc legal correspondent lisa rubin joins me now. this did literally just happen.ght now? what's the immediate impact? >> the immediate impact is the law is back in effect. georgia's six week ban, if women in georgia had an appointment after 5:00 p.m., to have al surgical abortion, that's no longer allow. it freezes the lower court's injunction of the law until and through all appeals are extinguished with respect to the lower court ruling. >> through all appeals, so what does that mean if you're a woman living in georgia right now? >> if you're a woman living in georgia, you're back to square one, perhaps not in a situation unlike that of amber thurman, the georgia woman who pro publica featured in their reporting. she was just past the six week mark when this law first took effect in july of 2022. she tried to obtain an abortion in a neighboring state and when she started bleeding out, she was unable to get emergency care back at the clinic, went back to georgia, tried to get emergency care there, and even as her doctors felt her life was threatened could not get

. >>> joining me now is msnbc legal correspondent lisa rubin. lisa, thank you for being here. kind of go through as many of these as we can. but the nevada one where voters are being held accountable for a postmark on or not on the ballot seems to be insane. >> that's what the court said. the nevada supreme court telling the rnc which is a party here. it is not reasonable if the statute says that we are to count it where the postmark cannot be determined. putting that burden on the voters is incompatible with the legislative intent of expanding the right to vote. not contracting it. >> did they have an argument to make? how could i even begin to ensure that it got postmarked? >> i will read to you from the decision that the rnc asserted that the voters can ensure their ballot is postmarked by visiting a post office in person and requesting a postmark from the postal service associate. and the court says look, that's possible for some voters. but it might not be for other groups including people who most need to vote by mail. home bound seniors. to ensure the most vulnerable am

lisa rubin joins us from philadelphia. what's the latest, lisa?rter: well, ana, as we sit here now we understand that attorneys for elon musk and for philadelphia district attorney larry crazner are talking to the judge because they were expecting a hearing this morning about whether elon musk's giveaway is illegal under pennsylvania law. elon musk made a filing in a philadelphia federal court seeking to remove the case and move it to that federal court. in the ordinary course, once you provide written notice to the other side, once you also provide a copy of your federal filing to the state court, that should effectively pause all proceedings in the state court. nonetheless, we understand that hearing is still going on behind us. but elon musk, having done something last night that should effectively make it much more difficult for the district attorney to take any action against his lottery before election day, if at all. >> what does it mean for the lottery itself at this point? >> reporter: well, assuming that elon musk freezes this hearing go

joining us now, legal correspondent lisa rubin from the philadelphia courthouse just outside city hallat happened? >> reporter: late last night, in anticipation of this hearing at which elon musk had been ordered to appear, he and his america pac filed a notice of removal to federal court, effectively moving the case from state court to federal court. philadelphia district attorney larry krazner hoped to leave this courthouse behind with an injunction in hand that would prevent musk and america pac from giving away the $1 million giveaway as he has done. instead, they are back to square one. the case has been transferred to federal court. the state court judge here during a hearing patiently heard complaints from the lawyers. determined that his hands were tied. by filing the notice of removal, that pressed cause legally on the state court proceedings. it's up to the d.a. to decide, does he want to seek emergency relief to enjoin musk or prevent him from giving away more $1 million awards? or is he going to try to convince that court to send it back right here in hopes of getting some
