what would mr. trump have to say about that? mr. futerfas: the allegations in the indictment are just that, they are allegations. they have to be proven. these kinds of cases typically are resolved in a civil context. why? because the law on compensation, on fringe benefits, is murky, it's difficult, it's complex. you can have experts disagree. so these charges are going to be vigorously contested, and they are going to be vigorously contested by people who are experts in the field and know this law very well. >> how concerned is mr. trump? just because this is the beginning. mr. futerfas: the district attorney can say, denounce whatever they would like to say and denounce. we have no concerns going forward. that's all i can say on that matter. >> [indiscernible] mr. futerfas: the indictment alleges that amount of money was from 2005 into 2016 or 2017. but again, the question is what is it about? it is about apartments. is something a corporate apartment? is something properly an expense of the company? these are complex questions,

one of the things i was try to explain last fall is that once mr. trumpction, we're going to have a polarized society and one political party which makes it their single issue, which is basically what's happened. so long as we're in that framework, we can expect one of the parties to rig the system. if you tell people the other side cheated, you're promising your people that you're going to cheat as well. this scenario is now playing out with the voter suppression, with the culture wars. we get ourselves to a scenario where in 2024 the republican candidate could lose by a lot, let's say 10 million votes, and you could still rig up some electoral college majority. and then we would be in a position of greater tension, sadly, than we were in 2021. >> you were talking to us a lot last fall about this, and it's sad because the things you were saying seemed exaggerated and big, and yet every last one of them has come to pass. what are you worried about? do you think we're going to be stuck in this situation heading into 2022 and 2024 elections? or do you think

general milley was right to be thinking in those directions that mr. trumpto do with the parliament, in this case, our congress, it's also familiar. the idea that we lost the election and something dramatic had to happen in parliament, that's terribly familiar. i am grateful that general milley is referring to history, that's important. >> one of the things you told dana middle bank, the journalist, this week, is that a failed coup is practice for a successful coup. your view is not that the insurrection failed, you're glad it failed, and now we know better. you are worried that the people who did what they did on january 6th are now inspired. >> we are now working within the framework out a big lie. one of the things i was trying to explain last fall is that once mr. trump makes the big claim that he won the election, we will have a polarized society. one political party that makes it a single issue, which is basically what happened. so long that we are in the framework of a big lie, we can expect one of the political parties -- if you tell one side of the

"do you feel pressure from mr trump" the reporter asks. "i have no comment" he says. rged mr weisselberg. daniel litman is a former us federal attorney. he was asked earlier if prosecutors were still trying to turn the trump organisation's chief financial officer into an informant. i would say much less. certainly it was the speculation and it was accurate. they were putting the pressure on him and saying, as prosecutors do, "this is what we have against you, we will follow through if you don't cooperate." and he decided not to. so they are bringing what they have on him now. these tax violations that you mentioned. they are nowhere near the magnitude of some of the possible charges that have been swirling about, at least in the rumour mill with respect to trump himself, the organisation, even weisselberg, but they are enough to bring him to court and force him to possibly stand trial on a felony charge and the organisation itself is being alleged to have violated tax laws knowingly, kind of ripped off the public in that way. again, not the hugest kind of charge, but a

the next steps will focus on mr. trump. on the next phase, prosecutors will continue scrutinizing whether they manipulated profit to obtain tax value. there has been some speculation that bank fraud and insurance fraud that had been reported. there was some discussion that maybe that wasn't going anywhere. it sounded like that was next with a focus on himself. number one, the initial indictment is a lot of charges, 15 felonies. number two, there is more coming in the three, there's been a lot of discussion about an unindicted co-conspirator. as far as we can tell, that is not president trump himself. so you understand, here is one of the places this phrase occurs in the indictment. it says, quote, operation in the conspiracy from 2005 through the date, the named defendant and others including co--conspirator number one agreed to implement a compensation scheme. that unindicted co-conspirator does not appear to be president trump. i will explain whys that the case. it will seem that better chance that unindicted co-conspirat

she was very close to mr. trump. thank you very much. host: back to our previous car that asked about the conversation, argument between senator rand paul and dr. fauci. this is not the first time the two have had disagreements in a hearing, this was the latest. it happened on tuesday. this is only part of a hearing of dr. fauci, rachelle wolinsky and others testifying before the senate committee. here it is. >> knowing it is a crime to lie to congress, do you wish to retract your statement of may 11 where you claim they never funded research in wuhan? >> i have never lied. senator paul, i have never lied before the congress. i do not retract that statement. this paper you are referring to was judged by qualified staff up and down the chain as not being gain of function. let me finish. >> you take an animal virus, you are saying that is not gain of function? >> you do not know what you're talking about, quite frankly. i want to say that officially. you do not know what you are talking about. could i answer the question? >> this is your d

unlike other recent presidents, mr trump had resisted the demand that he surrender his tax records, and the justice department had backed him while he was in office. covid—19 has critically affected pregnant women in brazil, with more than 1,600 deaths. one in five women that died from the virus didn't have access to an intensive care unit and one in three didn't have access to a ventilator. the us champion gymnast, simone biles, has withdrawn from two more competitions at the tokyo olympics. her team said she'd ruled herself out of the finals of the vault and uneven bars. biles has been sidelined by a mental block that affects herjudgement when spinning in mid—air. now in a few minutes it'll be time for the film review. but first, here's click. it is the land of fire and ice. where the earth is literally splitting apart. this is iceland, home to so much amazing scenery, created by the superheated rock that lurks just below the surface. as recently as march this year, a new volcano has been erupting and attracting tourists and scientists alike to watch and learn as it rewrites the geogr

in the past, many of mr. trump and mr. weisselberg's conversations were private and behind closed doors. now, they are under instructions to meet in the presence of a witness. and chairman, that clearly indicates that if they are actually complying with that, that both donald trump in and lynn weisselberg recognize how much trouble they're in. >> well, it certainly means that donald trump's lawyers recognize that he can put himself in further jeopardy by saying things to weisselberg by potentially encouraging him to hide things from authorities or make false statements to authorities that we know for the mueller investigation. that's not unusual conduct for this former president. and so the president sources are trying to protect him. allen weisselberg may not be cooperating now. that doesn't mean he won't cooperate in the future. so i think that's what's going on, but the president has ignored the advice of his lawyers in the past and who knows who will follow that advice now. >> do you, as a former prosecutor and someone

. >> there's no question that the president of the united states, mr. trump, was literally unhinged, certainly during the last year in office, and following his defeat in the election. it was a very dangerous situation. mark milley, i've known him since he was a colonel. one tough customer. most of his life has been deployed in combat or operational areas. 39 years in uniform, princeton columbia educated. a very bright, capable officer. he doesn't command any soldiers, airmen, or sailors. they're under the control of the secretary of defense and the president of the united states. so we really have a dilemma. the chairman has open access to the president, to the national security council, to senior members of congress. and he holds a lot of influence. but whenf trump appointed a retired lieutenant colonel acolyte as secretary of defense and fired mark esper, if i was a foreign intelligence officer, i would have thought he was thinking about a coup against the government. and ith think that's what he wa noodling as the days went by. >> senator, you heard what

trump organization. they believe that they the prosecutor wants mr. vance, the manhattan d.a., he wants mr. selberg to flip on the organization, on donald trump jr., on eric trump and on mr. trump himself, the former president on a much bigger tax fraud scheme case. along the lines that the fixer, michael cohen, when he was before congress laid out that said that they were playing with the books. inflating their assets when -- for insurance purposes to cover more stuff, deflaing them to pay less taxes. the way this is so weird and falls apart when you talk to a lot of lawyers and i've spend a lot of them saying unpack this for me. if you have spent five years on a case like this with all of the documents and subpoenas that mr. vance has come up with and mr. weisselberg would be part of that alleged scheme he's looking at, right? he's the cfo. the most you got on mr. weisselberg as part of that scheme from the documents at least is these perks, it seems like penny ante. it doesn't ring true. yes, they want him to flip. no doubt about that. digest that for a five. five years looking at this al

can he only run if he gets permission from mr. trump? ion changes unless he's able to change that equation. some of the polling, some of the preference pulling if you will among active republicans especially trump republicans shows ron desantis has carved out a nice niche for himself and is making the most of it. he showing this bravado and leadership of his state, he's very popular in his state. i think that there's a dynamic here since trump is a resident of the governor's state, which is just rich. it's just so rich to watch him sitting there with joe biden to his left and then thank you mister president. there is no bureaucracy, this is working, you are responding to our needs and then people are having flashbacks and images of the president throwing paper towels and toilet paper at those who were devastated by violent hurricanes a few years ago. so there is this interesting contrast that i think ron desantis is playing a little bit and so kudos, baby, half and with it. guess what? when the shoe drops, it's probably gonna land on your

formal president. >> ron loves playing with the kids. >> build a wall. >> he reads them stories. >> mr. trumpks a trump's body hug is a way to get there. joining me now is our msnbc political, thank you so much, i am very excited to have you on. what ron desantis is doing right now being governor as a state that has the worse covid rate in the country. can you tell me first why is he so popular in florida. before we even talk about 2024, why is he so popular there? >> well, unfortunately we have seen jason over the last few years florida had become a republican state and unfortunately it is a lot of floridians, many of them are voting against their economic interests but in the case of voting rights, as you said and as you just demonstrated, for desantis is a slippery slope. the problem of desantis is his imitation has become an impersonation which to donald trump is starting to feel -- there could only be one colt leader at a time. as quick as you can say hang mike pence as the insurrectionists did in the capitol, if donald trump starts the believe that ron desantis i am -imitation act -- he
