and they could alter their return to office plans depending on the surge and particularly in new york stateersey, and mainly new york state, if they reinstituted a mask mandate. i've been speaking with the senior executives. the firms that have hard and fast return to workman dates. goldman sachs is one of them. j.b. morgan is one. morgan stanley. a few others. people there are saying listen, if we -- if this surges and we get guidance from new york state has to wear a mask indoors, is that the environment we want to foster because of what they want in bringing people back is a regular work environment. so you can have teamwork and productivity goes up. so watch those things. watch the surge in cases. that's important. the bigger thing is the mask mandates. now, i will say this, neil. you know, the ceos at the big banks follow the numbers like i do. new york state hospitalizations are still pretty damn low. i'm not saying that that will change. but they're pretty low. we should also point out that this -- that -- i would say 80 to 90% of the wall street workers in this area are vaccinated.

new york will be devastated. and two years ago, various jurisdictions were raising property taxes on golf courses in new york stateing new york will be devastated if taxes go up on golf courses and so he's kind of flailing here a little bit in the way he's gonna handle it. having said that, i think his critics need to keep their expectations in check because the fact that weisselberg hasn't flipped yet and he knew it was very likely going to be indicted suggests that it might be pretty hard to flip him. i don't know anything that anyone else knows, but we need to take a real wait and see attitude here and not assume that true accountability has fully begun. >> yeah will know it three clock tomorrow with the potential penalties allen weisselberg is actually facing and that, zerlina, will tell us how much pressure he is feeling. he is old enough that a year would be a very difficult stretch to have to do behind bars for somebody like that. but this is the life and what happens in the life of donald trump as michael cohen can tell everybody who still works there. >> that's the really confusing thing about it so i thi

but what they found includes a federal crime. >> yes, it's kind of funny because the new york state basis says that it's defrauding someone. it could be that someone defrauded you, to follow me or anyone else on the show, it was the federal government. the new york state people find tax fraud which is undeniable if the facts of the indictment are proving and it is -- it's embarrassing for the feds, as you say, maybe they didn't have access to it. it seems to be stuff that once you look at an of documents is just right there and there's no denying it. if the indictment is proven poll. i don't see how they can charge on this basis. >> tim, that's what's so striking about the indictment is that you can see how this case can be made, so we'll, because it is on paper. it is right there. the man responsible for it all is sitting in the courtroom, allen weisselberg. >> that's an important thing to remember about the entire case lawrence. i don't think a special grand jury would've been convened and the day's office targeted a former president, if they didn't have a lot of paperwork. that goes to

it's a new law that would allow individual communities in new york or the state attorney general in new york to sue gun makers, to sue gun manufacturers for the horror that is caused by the illegal use of guns, the criminal use of guns in new york state. again, this new law just signed in new york. this is something that is definitely going to go to court. but there is a federal law that's not that old that was passed by a republican congress, signed into law by a republican president. there's this federal law that is designed to shield gun manufacturers from lawsuits, that this runs right up against. and arguably that federal law has really never been properly tested. here's blue state new york today going on offense to say, hey, we'll test it. we want to be able to treat gun manufacturers like the tobacco companies got treated or any other company that makes products that kill people, that society has to otherwise clean up after without their help. that innovation, that policy innovation, which, again, will definitely be tested in the courts, coming today out of new york right on the

that's what new york state law requires. and then, it will really be a political question. errol knows, prominent members of both parties in new york state. republicans and democrats, alike, have called on the governor to resign. now, we have to see the facts. we have to see what's in that report but if they mirror what we know publicly. then, the powerful players in new york state are going to have to decide, do they take the next step? there is impeachment, under new york state law. we tend to think of impeachment as the presidents but it, also, can apply to a governor. that's going to be a very difficult political calculation for, both, republicans and democrats to think about. again, depending on the specifics of what we see in this report. which i expect to be exhaustive and detailed. >> all right, gentlemen, thank you so much. errol louis, great to see you. thank you. elie honig, we will be back with you later in the hour for your cross-exam segment. >>> a huge rescue effort under way right now in europe. hundreds of people are still missing after floodwaters rushed in

new york city, who was required to pay new york city income taxes. weisselberg, thereby, evaded approximately $556,385 in federal taxes, approximately $106,568 in state taxes, and approximately $238,159 in new york city taxes. and he falsely claimed and received approximately $94,902 in federal tax refunds. and approximately $38,222 in state-tax refunds, to which he was not entitled. the 15-count indictment exposes allen weisselberg to a possible sentence of 15 years in prison for the most serious count, which is grand larceny in the second degree. most of the other counts carry possible-four-year sentences. the indictment details allen weisselberg's personal participation in, and supervision of, the crimes described in the indictment. for example, on or about september, 2016, allen weisselberg directed a staff member in the accounting department to remove the notations "per allen weisselberg" from the entries in donald j. trump's detail general ledger relating to tuition payments paid on weisselberg's behalf for his family members' private school. you can get four years for that. four years in prison. just for that. just for that falsifying of busin

new york. it is 30, 40, 50 pages of detailed information, time line, maybe text messages, email conversations are included in that. that's not typically something we see in new york state but since they are charging a company, will they have the ability to give us a lot more information to help us understand the broader part of this? which leads me to my second point, so far we have heard about what's going on today from trump's attorneys, attorneys on the defense side to kinds of knock the air out of what we are about to hear today and what might be contained in these indictments. i think it will be interesting to see just how much more the manhattan district attorney's office has in the charging documents once esee them later today. >> tom, stay right there. we will come back to you throughout the hour. katie, david, andrew, don't go too far. if this is chapter one, none of you are going to be able to go on vacation this summer. we will have a lot to cover. >>> i want to bring in new york democratic congressman shawn patrick maloney, a member of the house intelligence committee. we have a lot to cover. i want to start with your reaction to what you are seeing unfold

in new york state, there is no bank fraud charge. so grand larceny is what they use., it is a much lower penalty than a federal bank fraud charge would have. i think that what happened here is that the manhattan d.a.'s office took their best shot to get allen weisselberg to cooperate, and i expect that everything they have against him is included in the indictment, and $1.7 million if that is actual tax avoidance and if that is 10% of what he got is jail time, but if that is the total amount that he siphoned away without paying attentions then you take 10% of that as the loss amount which is about $170,000 and that would be a very low jail sentence, and if that is the top charge against him, then he may have made the calculus that i may not go to jail at all, so i am not going to cooperate, but i don't expect to see a superseding indictment against donald weisselberg, because this investigation has been going on for two years, and they have had them for six months or so, and i would expect that this is the only indictment against allen weisselberg and they have put ev
