paul bannon reports oh, from the balcony of saint james's palace, to a fanfare of trumpets and in front of expectant crowds, the heralds proclaimed the accession. oh, the crown of united kingdom of great britain, the northern ireland is solely and rightfully come to the prince. charles philip offered george become our only lawful and right foot leads. lord charles, the 3rd free chance, raised majesty the king. ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! minutes earlier, the extension ceremony itself had been somber and administrative with no less momentous. in the front row, 6 former british prime ministers stood shoulder to shoulder. this gathering comprises the king's privy council, his senior political advisors, and the new king still mourning the loss of his mother solemnly accepted the mantle of monarchy. my mother's reign was unequalled in its jewish. it's dedication and his devotion, even as we grieve, we give thanks for this most faithful light. i am deeply aware of this great inheritance and the duties and heavy responsibilities of sovereignty which have now passed to me. the orders or council wer

so it does feel like he was doing operation quarantine, maga republicans, steve bannons, michael flynn, giuliani, the paulaforts, the trumps, those kind of people that now elise stefanik, those people are in one camp and there's a faction of some normal republicans that are elsewhere. how big are those two factions because it does feel like the magas have kind of taken over? >> first of course, i think what joe biden did last night was difficult and not easy for a president to do. he said there were millions of americans, we don't have a number, who are a profound threat to american democracy because they don't abide by the rules of american democracy and they want to see it overturned. that said, i think he was being very charitable to the republicans by saying the maga republicans are just, you know, a bunch -- a wing of the republican party. if it's a wing, it's the dominant wing, it's the wing -- it's two binges of a dragon in some ways. i mean, there is not a single republican leader who has really come out to basically counter trump in his election denialism and talk about, you know, his demagoguery

bannon was convicted of federal charges of contempt of congress for failing to comply with a subpoena by the house select committee investigating january 6. >> double jeopardy, some people may remember that paul manafort was convicted and pardoned of federal charges, but the difference is bannon never wept to trial. >> bannon was charged in this case and it was going through the criminal justice system but he had never gone to trial, it hadn't come up to trial, he didn't plead guilty to it, he pleaded not guilty and denied those charges and he was pardoned before it ever got beyond that. lawyers i've spoken with say it doesn't apply in the same way in this context. >> very interesting the legal problems mount for steve bannon. kara scannell, thank you. >>> a big development this morning in the investigation into highly classified documents found at trump's mar-a-lago resort. the "washington post" is reporting that a document describing a foreign government's nuclear capabilities was among the files seized in the fbi's search last month. the post writes, quote, some of the seized documents detailed top secret u.s. operations so closely guarded that many senior national security officials are k

paul manafort. manhattan district attorney's office opened an investigation looking into this same conduct in june, cnn rorpted that some people in bannon'ser circle went before the grand jury and now bannon is expected to be in court tomorrow here in new york to face these new state charges. >> and what does bannon have to say about all this? >> well, bannon is -- he issued a state last night calling these charges phony, saying they're nothing more than a partisan political weaponization of the criminal justice system. he says they're coming after all of us, not only president trump and myself, i am never going to stop fighting. in fact, i have not yet begun to fight. they will have to kill me first. an taerg for steve bannon told me he is expected to plead guilty tomorrow when he's in court and arraigned on the new state charges. jake. >> a reasonable statement as always from mr. bannon. thank you so much. >> with us now, conservative attorney, george conway, going to have to kill me first. quite a statement. >> very dramatic. >> he enjoys the drama, that is fair to say. what do you make of the case itself, as a legal batter? >> as a le

paul manafort had been found guilty or pleaded guilty to a number of charges similar to the state charges. that never happened to bannon here. this involves the border wall effort. he put a statement out last night, a statement i am never going to stop fighting, in fact, i have not yet begun to fight they will have to kill me first. doesn't sound like somebody who, as many people reached out to me on twitter last night, that wondered whether or not he might quote/unquote flip or turn against former president trump. i would say that's unlikely in this case. >> charles, last comment to you. what kind of legal fight is bannon in for here? >> for a serious legal fight. i think the only reason he's not in federal prison right now is because he got a pardon from donald trump. what i understand about the indictment coming, it's likely to in many elements mirror what was on his plate from a federal case. when you look at the manhattan case, it's similar charges that he is not going to be pardoned for and barring a cooperation agreement, which is unlikely to take place, he's looking at serious jail time because the likelihood i

paul manafort with crimes. that prosecution blew up over the double jeopardy provision in the constitution. well, that can't apply here because bannonvicted in the federal case. it never went to trial. so the state is free to bring, really, the identical case, different charges under state law, and go forward with it. it's really hard to see what steve bannon's defense is here. we'll have to wait and see. i mean, as prosecutors looked at this -- who looked at this and said, this is an open and shut garden variety fraud case, the kind they prosecute every day. >> justice correspondent ken dilanian, thank you very much. >>> coming up, the michigan supreme court makes a major ruling, putting abortion on the ballot. we'll talk to michigan congresswoman slotkin and former chief of staff to the dccc, adrienne elrod, about how this could shift the outcome of every race in this state. that's when "morning joe" returns. it's the all-new subway series menu! 12 irresistible new subs... like #11 subway club. piled with turkey, ham and roast beef. this sub isn't slowing down time any time soon. i'll give it a run for its money. my money's on the

bannon never went to trial. so he's not been put in jeopardy, unlike paul manafort who was convicted in a jury trial. think for that reason, this is a clean charge, it will not be upended the way the manafort charges were. and as long as the evidence supports it, i think this case will go to trial and the jury will decide his fate. >> and the manhattan d.a.'s office picked up on this case pretty quickly after former president trump pardoned bannon. former u.s. attorney barbara mcquade, thank you. good to hear before you. mika. >>> also, newly obtained surveillance video from georgia shows a fake elector escorts members of a tech firm into the coffee county election office in january 2021, moments before election day was breached. in the video you can see the then chairwoman of the coffee county gop cathy latham. >> look up, there's a camera above you. >> holding, opening the door for members of sullivanstrickler, a data security company hired by attorney sidney powell the day after the insurrection. additional individual yes taken outside the county office, cyberninja doug logo and jeff lundberg also
