litman, to you first. what do you make of this big jared and ivanka subpoena? gasping like they're going to say something big. >> well, they haven't said anything big yet. and they might. that's something that tends to kind of narrow the focus when you get a grand jury. they could try to challenge it on executive privilege. and that's losing claim, and a quick loser. it goes up and down the d. c. courts pretty clearly. and it's happened already. and you saw avant there. and the whole interview was kind of hedged in impressionistic. we want to know what it is say. and by the, way she's his closest sort of confidant all through november, december, january. anything he said that was distraught indicated he knew he lost, she ought to know that as well. and she also said to someone else that they have reports on. i think she has real information. and i think the january 6th committee basically, you, noah handled her with kid gloves. so i think, there is more there. >> neal, what do you think about a subpoena? >> i think, stephanie, different families bond in differe

i want to bring back former federal prosecutor, harry litman.hat i was told is you only put the defendant on the stand if you think you absolutely need them, that your case is in trouble, is that an exaggeration? >> not at all. and that's notwithstanding, the jury is very eager to hear from the defendant but typically in a murder trial there's so much to be cross examined and i'm surprised here because he tells multiple different stories. that's exactly the kind of fodder cross-examination that can leave a defendant's credibility in tatters. if they don't believe him, he's toast. but i guess they have decided, you know, it's a risk that we just have to take, given how the evidence to date has come in, and it's gone strong. >> i'm going to be honest. i've been following this case mostly through your reporting and reporting of our folks on the ground. stop me if i'm not getting this right. a key piece of evidence was video at the kennel that night in the background it suggests he was there, when he says he wasn't. is that right? so they need him t

litman's business, first i will say why china is important, then i will point out a series of points, china has a very large economy, nearly 6300 billion dollars, the volume of foreign trade is 17 thousand billion dollars , the city's gdp is a very important point is that in all kinds of industrial and technological fields entered and a very high variety of products from countries the worship actor has a small or even large scale, but bahadurst has a field of expertise and has made progress, but china has specialized in a wide range of activities, it is producing, exporting, importing and technology is very important, so we are a place that needs development challenges anyway. we have industry in different areas, we are discussing technology, this cooperation between us and china is very valuable for me , and many countries like iraq, oman, and african countries that i have an opportunity to mention , the volume of our trade is increasing. it is good , but china has this feature that is one of the few countries that have a variety of fields of activity and expertise, so where do we ha

neal katyal, it harry litman, and again, peter, what are you going to see your son? actually. >> you're going to see him tomorrow? well, congratulations. wish him all the best. congratulate him from me on the 11th hour team. also tonight, some terrible, terrible news. another horrific reminder of gun violence in america. this is almost not to be believed. a crime scene turned into a another crime scene earlier today, when deputies say a man suspected of killing a woman returned to the scene and killed a nine-year-old girl and a tv news journalist that was covering the earlier shooting. the girl's mother was also heard. so was another member of the tv crew. the suspect in all of the shootings is now in police custody. sadly, this is just one of the mass shootings in america so far this year. you know how many we are up to? 83. coming up, the u.s. says ukraine is at a critical moment in the war against russia. michael mcfaul and ben rhodes are here on what's next after the president's historic trip to kyiv. and later, mike pence versus ron desantis. we'll talk to regai

i'm joined now by nbc ease julia ainsley and by former deputy assistant attorney harry litman, professoronal law at ucla. so julia, talk to us about what we're learning in this sealed filing and what you're hearing from our sources. >> well, chris, it's aggressive but it's not a surprising tactic are from jack smith, someone who has tried war criminals in the hague. we now know from sources and my colleague ken dilanian that zack smith is going to try to compel the testimony of evan corcoran. that was trump's lawyer right around the time that he believes he told a person on trump's legal team to go ahead and sign documents saying they had handed over all of those classified documents to the national archives. as we later learned after that fbi search of mar-a-lago that was not the case, and they should not have signed those documents saying they handed every over. this is really at the center of what jack smith is looking for in the clatsds fied document piece of his probe. he's also looking at january 6th. this is at the center of the classified documents because it gets to whether or n

attorney and former deputy assistant attorney general harry litman, who has left the table but is stillintelligence agent pete strzok. pete, what is it on the phones, what do they want on the phones that doesn't fall into -- it sounds like what the judge is saying is that most of what is relevant to the investigation doesn't by any stretch fall under this ridiculous claim that the congressman's making. so what do they want on the phone? >> well, they want evidence of what he was doing with regard to january 6th. and it seems that the body of material includes e-mail messages, includes text messages, includes attachments. and in particular from the reporting that we've seen it relates primarily to the fake elector schemes. and within that there are two bodies. you know, what was going on in his discussions with various state officials and others about what they might do. and certainly there's prior reporting that what has been disclosed are communications he had with people like jeffrey clark, with john eastman and others. so at the end of the day what investigators want to see is how mu

attorney, harry l litman. good to have you.me fraud exception to attorney client privilege. explain what it is and how rare it is for an application to invoke it. >> it's not completely rare, but it's fairly rare and of course this is trump so it shows treating him like any other defendant. the big point though is it's trump's words they want. cork ran fills out that form that said we did a diligent search, turns to the christina bob and said sign right here, which she does with a little notation. they bring him into the grand jury and because it has to be attorney client communications, they ask him, his client here is trump, did you and trump talk about this? what did trump tell you? attorney client communication. okay, fine. see you in court. so what they're saying is we believe that we need trump's statements because those will be, we have thresholds showing good enough, not criminal, that what he said is evidence of a crime. what would the crime be? obstruction of justice by not complying with this subpoena. so the big poi

more on the legal impact of these revelations from inside the grand jury's deliberations when harry litman joins me. >>> another huge story we're following, weather conditions that are brutal across the rockies, the plains, and the midwest right now and only getting worse. this is what you would see if you were on the road in south dakota right now, just horrific whiteout conditions. one of at least 27 states under a weather advisory with the national weather service warning of an historic cross country winter storm that might make travel in some places potentially impossible. in minneapolis, the state patrol colonel says this is not the tame to tempt fate. in other words, stay off the roads. that's where we find nbc's niala charles who, well, if i can say i'm cold just looking a the you, i can only imagine how cold you are. tell us what the forecast is and how cold is it? >> reporter: well, luckily i have a lot of layers on here, chris, so that helps me in this 17 degree weather, but for the minnesotans that live here, they say they don't need all of that. if you ask them, they're born re

here with us to discuss and break it down white house reporter for politico daniel litman.eadline is this chinese spy balloon that has brought so much scrutiny and the issue of national security to the forefront. of course, we heard the republican criticism that biden is not tough enough on china, he should have shot it down sooner. how is this playing political long island? >> i am sure he is going to have to rewrite his speech in real time. he is practicing it this weekend to reassure americans that we're not weak, that we have a good chance to compete against china and his whole agenda like rebuilding infrastructure and that c.h.i.p.s. act and addressing climate change is all part of a package of rebuilding america to make sure that we don't fall behind china. and so in his state of the union he is going to talk about a lot of those types of issues in terms of, you know, he is trying to fix america's future and not, you know, we are not going to bow down to china. he doesn't want to have those types of optics in terms of looking weak against the chinese. >> right. looks

let's bring in michael steele, harry litman back at the table, former depp tip assistant attorney, we studio until the end of time. i want to start with you michael steele. if you had put it on a bingo card that judge ludig would become the voice of reason in sort of the pence legal calculations, he was the one who gave pence some of the legal analysis that said you cannot overturn president biden's victory, this is a formal certification, and he is now extending that role as counselor, if you will, to mike pence to say you will not prevail in fighting this subpoena. >> yeah, when you're beholden to the institution and not some guy at mar-a-lago, that's the kind of advice you get. it's sound. solid. constitutionally based. looking at the fact pattern and understanding what the reality is for someone like mike pence who was at the full fulcrum of he's a central player. the idea that somehow you're going to be less offensive to donald trump by trying to wiggle in one direction puts you at odds with everything else, the constitution, fact pattern, the rule of law. all of those other thin

. >> let's bring in harry litman and dave aaronburg. dave, what do you think of the statements?nd others from being indicted in georgia? >> good morning. it will not stop an indictment against the former president. it is a feature of the grand jury system, not a bug, for a 30-year-old unemployed individual who doesn't vote in elections to decide whether a former president will be indicted. it is not a feature for a grand juror to blab about the excellent adventure and how funny rudy giuliani was. it does show that she is not a partisan. no democrat i know would be laughing with rudy giuliani. and you can expect future court challenges because of the media tour but if trump is indicted it will not affect matters because this is a special purpose grand jury. this is not the grand jury to do the indictments but advised the district attorney there on whether to seek indictments. she didn't give away the store. she did conceal what's redacted in the grand jury report. although it is a bad look, it is not going to make a difference in the end. >> that's the point, harry, you have been
