maggie haberman: inciting.id peacefully and patriotically, but he was telling people go up there, and it's hard not to see that was fomenting and telling people that he had been harmed, and they should be angry on his behalf. donald trump: you'll never take back our country with weakness. you have to show strength and you have to be strong. jake tapper: trump's national security advisors believe the presidenent, code nameme, mogul, was going toto join the procession. liz cheney: mogul, the president, was, "going to the capitol" and, "they are finding the best route now". jake tapper: the chat log continues.

maggie haberman was here before the break. did anything jump out ought about the political season, the campaign? roy? >> i think maggie was spot on talking about how emotions are driving the voter base now and not necessarily policy. >> truth don't matter. truth stopped mattering like five, six, seven years ago. nobody cares about truth. that's my guy or that's not my guy. we've been out doing q & as with some of the audiences. we're out in middle america. i've never seen people more unexcited -- >> are they unexcited? >> it looks like it will be trump versus biden and nobody gets excited about it. nobody wants this rematch. >> on either side. >> i think on the trump side. trump has his voters. he's had his voters. >> the trump voters seem pretty excited. >> they've already bought the hats. they're re-buying the hats. i talked to a man who bought a hat every single month. they just keep rebooting. on the left we're definitely talking to people on our shows who are more progressive and they want any other choice but biden and th

maggie haberman is here with her reporting. in san francisco, two people a day are dying from fentanyl. this is a national crisis that demands new strategies. prop f requires single adults receiving cash assistance to enroll in treatment if they use drugs. i know what it's like to lose family to drug addiction. it's too late for some families. but our city needs to do what's necessary to save lives. please vote yes on prop f. >>> we have new developments tonight on donald trump's legal problems and how much they're costing him. the tab apparently running quite high, though i should note he is not necessarily paying the bill. his supporters are. "the new york times" first to report that trump has spent approximately $50 million, yes, $50 million in donor money on legal bills and investigation relate related expenses in just the last year alone. the exact numbers will come out tomorrow when he has to file his report with the fec. for now ought we do know i'm joined by maggie haberman, senior political correspondent for "the new y

. >>> let's discuss with maggie haberman, also senior political correspondent for "new york times." ggie, thanks for joining us. it was a very revealing interview from e. jean carroll, who as you heard, is accusing trump as just another campaign venue for him. do you think that is right? >> i think it's right in part. i believe his's looked at all these court stops as part of his campaign, because he's seen some political benefit for lumping them together. this was a civil case. then there's the four criminal cases, but for a lot of his vo voters, they're indistinguishable. i think it was a rallying cry for his base, in part, but i think he thought he was going to show up appeared try to selling the jury essentially. it obviously did not work. >> as you know, the jury awarded carroll more than $83 million. it's only one of several legal values that it's facing. what kind of impact of this judgment an potential for more having on trump? >> trump never likes parting for money, so there's no way he's happy at the moment in the civil fraud trial, exactly what it means for his company and

i'm joined by -- maggie haberman.n, we are supposed to talk about trump and i have a lot of questions on your reporting. >> things on your mind right now? >> i'm kind of stunned, he says, for people who didn't say the suspect, -- he spelled marshall -- incorrectly. he says that's the only thing he regrets. >> continuity has not been anyone's strong suit and talking about elections, based on that republican side since 2020. he's talking about how it's up to the voters. marshall lott would not be in keeping with that, three days before the emigration. so say there is still questions, there is no equivalence because donald trump keeps angry questions. there is a whole group of people who follow him go along with that. but it's a prelude, i think, to what we're going to see over the next nine months. and so, if you are hearing that from the only person in the house who is backing donald trump's opponent, think about what it's going to look like on a broader scale. >> it's amazing. he's a really conservative member of cong

into this -- since she got hardback by the biden administration. >> correct, it was a moment. >> maggie haberman, as, always thank you for bringing your reporting to the source. right now on capitol hill, lawmakers are in what could be and on a committee session. you do not see -- but this is tonight leading up to a vote on articles of impeachment for the homeland security secretary alejandro mayorkas. could he be the first member of eight presidents cabinet to be impeached in nearly 150 years? >>> a live look at capitol hill tonight as we are waiting for a vote on articles of impeachment. a vote that could come very well when most of us are sleep, tonight or should be. they republican-led homeland security committee is expected to vote on two articles of impeachment against the homeland security secretary alejandro mayorkas. republicans are arguing that he has failed to fulfill his oath of office by not securing the u.s. mexico border. that is an argument that democrats have fiercely opposed. >> your own party as sabotaging and undermining this administration's efforts to address the border, wh

joining us from des moines, iowa is senior political correspondent for "the new york times," maggie haberman. thanks for joining us. it's fascinating a lifelong new yorker is currently in des moines where you would think all politicians running for president would be. now back in new york, because of this court case, and it underscores the politics and the courtroom continued convergence l perspective, what does this case mean to donald trump? >> it's deeply personal to donald trump. this and the second e. jean carroll trial he also said he's planning on attending next week, cut to the core of him in different ways. this is about his business, whether he continues to control his business in the way he has, about the amount of damages he will have to pay, because part of this is a foregone conclusion because the judge issued a partial summary judgment before the trial started saying he and his company had committed widespread decades-long fraud. this company is how he built this public image over a long period of time. and so there are few things that he cares about as much as his business an

also former attending -- former attorney general jessica roth, she currently teaches at -- and maggie haberman, cnn political analyst, cnn senior political analyst, and author of the great book confidence, meant the making of donald trump, and the breaking of america. jessica, what stands out to you about the presidents ruling? >> well, he throws a lot into this brief. it's presented as one question, presented as, did the colorado courts get this wrong. so in a sense it's presented as this one simple question. but when you actually go on and read the filing, it encompasses at least ten other arguments that are all part of what the colorado court decided. so it's really sort of a kitchen sink approach, as we were talking about. i think the -- is most compelling and that the supreme court might find most per swelling is a reason to take it up is this reason that he's presented before that if you allow the states, all 50 states, to make their own determination about whether or not he's qualified to be on the ballot for president, that that really invites chaos, and that the supreme court should s

now, we have senior political correspondent for the new york times and cnn political analyst maggie haberman. trump's former white house communications director, alyssa farah griffin, and former trump campaign advisor david irvine. welcome, to all of you. we are officially here in a presidential election year now. maggie, tell us, how do is ski yves scalise's endorsement of trump and also the support of almost all the house gop leadership play into his strategy for the primaries? >> look, it just creates this sense of momentum. and you're going to see this, i think, going forward. he is going to highlight the endorsements he's gotten, they're going to point to the breadth of support that he has within the party, and it's really striking. it's considering where things were once upon a time. so again, it just makes it harder for anyone who is trailing him. and this is a pretty small primary fields, breonna, at this point. but it makes it very hard for anybody who is trailing him to break through. it just creates another news cycle that is all about donald trump four republican primary voters,

. >> if she beats him in new hampshire -- i interviewed maggie haberman and john carl this week on mycast. they were like the thing most scared of is a tighter, tighter race because then everyone starts to -- he has to have the dominance going. >> donald trump's whole brand is i'm a winner. if he doesn't win in new hampshire, suddenly people start going, oh, this is an interesting race. i think right now a lot of voters, even republican voters, are kind of checked out. many sort of assume, oh, this is maybe already a done deal. oh, there's people fighting for second place, but you know, i think a win in new hampshire for nikki haley is necessary and really would potentially change the game. her problem is then she goes to south carolina where all bets are off. >> that's the odd thing. that's her state. she's the governor there. you would think -- but at this point she's down 20, 30 mopoint to trump in her own state. >> that's why from my perspective, i know the folks here assembled think trump needs 50 plus% -- a win for trump in iowa is either a commanding 50 plus percent lead or som

trump biographer, maggie haberman, was in court to see it. also joining us, elie honig. >> think spent about ten minutes going back and forth to try to really contain the questions that would be asked and what trump's answers would be then his testimony was over in less than three minutes. so it was just three straight questions from his attorney. earlier in the day, carroll's team played video clips of trump's deposition in this case where he mistakes carroll for marla maples in a photograph and also just repeats some of his statements that he doesn't know her, calling her mentally ill. so haba asked trump do you stand by your testimony in the deposition. trump says 100% yes. she then asked him did you deny the allegation because miss carroll made an accusation. trump said that's right. she said something i considered a false accusation. totally false. the judge cut him off and said everything stricken from the record. that was really the only time we saw trump veer away. the last question she asked him did you ever instruct anyone to hurt m

could not ask it made for quite a scene today and senior political correspondent trump biographer maggie haberman was in court to see it, so a cnn's kara scannell, legal analyst zoe honig, and -- carroll, what did he say on the stand? >> they spent about ten minutes going back and forth to try to really contain the questions that would be asked and what trump's answers would be to stick those confines and then his testimony was over in less than three minutes. it was three straight questions from his attorney, alina habba. earlier in the day, there are video clips of clump trump's deposition where he mistakes carroll for marla may present a photograph on repeat some of his statement he doesn't know her calls her mentally ill. harbaugh asked trump, do you still bear testimony in the deposition? trump says 100 and yes. she then asked, him did you deny the allegation because miss carroll made an accusation? trump said that's exactly right. yes i did. she said something that i considered a false accusation, totally false, the judge cut him off and said everything after yes is restricted for the recor

reported on, but even this one has caught the attention of the "new york times," jonathan swan and maggy haberman, "allegations against prosecutors bolster trump's criticism of georgia's case," and they say it was a very unusual choice for fani willis to pick a suburban attorney, nathan wade, for this position, but apparently he was a mentor and she really trusted him. but the allegations are that he was far more than just a mentor. >> absolutely. and i think one of the things we have in common in terms of the thread between this and the situation that you are seeing with hunter biden is that these are a lot of things that are creating headaches for democrats that they would prefer not to have. they would not like to go into a situation where you are pursuing donald trump in a key way in this georgia case and have this type of thing that you now have to answer for. when it comes to the behavior of hunter biden on capitol hill today, as much as it creates a circus and a circus-like atmosphere around this, i think people would prefer hunter had kept his head down and not gone through the role of tu

it's what the new york times maggie haberman and alan fowler described worked out as trump's health caponeegy. the ex president often brags, socially, he's been charged with more times and the infamous monster. as haberman and power point out, far from playing down his many legal woes, he has put them front and center. trump's legal troubles have become a regular feature of his stump speeches, portraying them as an effort by democrats to weaponize the justice system agains tim he's also politic his criminal indictments and fundraising emails. he's revealed a lot of it and media coverage of his courtroom appearances, his confrontational performances appearing to be calculated for some attention. and politically speaking, we don't know yet if trump spit on the al capone strategy will prove to be as successful, but this week we were reminded there are legal consequences that come along with political grandstanding and showmanship. on thursday, peter navarro, a former trade advisor to trump, who plan to keep the ex president in office after his 2020 defeat, was sentenced to four months in pris

this is what maggie haberman had to say about the three justices appointed under president trump andch this. >> he has also voiced some concern that a court that has -- he appointed three of the justices for the supreme court and gave the conservatives a super majority, he's concerned that they will look as if they're trying not to rule in his favor and might rule against him. >> martha: what do you say about that, alina? >> martha: that's a concern he's voiced to me and everybody publicly, not privately. his concern is a valid one. you know, republicans are conservative. they get nervous. they unfortunately are sometimes shy away from being pro trump because they feel that even if the law is on our side, they may appear to be swayed much like the democratic side would do, right? so they're trying to look neutral. sometimes they make the wrong call. i just encourage them to look at the law and the constitution. there's no politics that should be involved in this. it's simply american. if the justices read the law as i do, as most americans and attorneys do, even dershowitz who is kno

and maggie haberman, author of "confidence man: the making of donald trump and the breaking of america." jessica, what stands out you? >> -- did the colorado courts get it wrong, in a sense presented as this one simple question. when you go on and read the filing, it encompasses at least ten other arguments that are all part of what the colorado court decided. so, it's really sort of a kitchen sink approach, as we were talking ability. i think the thing that is most, i think, compelling, and that the supreme court might find most persuasive, as a reason to take it up, is this argument that he's presented before, that if you allow the states, all 50 states, to make their own determination about whether or not he's qualified to be on the ballot for president, that that really invites chaos and that the supreme court should step in and really settle this question of whether or not actually the states even have the authority to make these determinations pursuant to the procedures set forth in state law. to me, that's the most compelling part of the presentation -- >> that's a rational argu

maggie haberman of "the new york times" said a couple of times in 2020, one of the reasons why trump was to avoid prosecution, because you can't prosecute a sitting president. >> right. >> he has to run here because, you know, it is a get out of jail card if he is elected. it'll be constitutionally -- >> you're saying he could beat the clock? >> i -- no, i don't think he is going to beat the clock. i think that this case here in the district of columbia, the january 6th case before judge chutkan is going to be tried in the summer at the latest, and he is not going to beat the clock. he is a man, in my estimation, who is going to spend the rest of his life in a federal or state prison. >> donald trump, as we know -- >> and should. >> -- was told again and again the 2020 election was not stolen. back in november of 2020, in fact, data expert ken block and his firm, sympatico software systems, was hired by the trump campaign to investigate allegations of voter fraud. ken has a new piece in "usa today" titled, "trump paid me to find voter fraud. then he lied after i found the 2020 electi
