nbc news justice correspondent pete williams has been following this from the start. pete, this does not mean the public is about to see the president's tax returns any time soon, right? >> reporter: not any time soon, shep, maybe never. any documents turned over to the grand jury must be kept secret they would become public only if vance brings criminal charges at some future date and seeks to introduce them as evidence what vance is seeking are the tax returns covering eight years for the grand jury's investigation of those hush money payments and other financial transactions as you noted, michael cohen was told stormy daniels was paid $130,000 to keep her quiet an allegation the president lied the trump organization sometimes lied about its financial condition to evade taxes or get more favorable loan terms. the investigation has clearly expanded beyond that though based on the people in the trump orbit who have been interviewed by the investigators and on the resources vance has been devoting to it he's never said anything publicly except what's in court filings hi

let's turn to nbc justice cor spent pete williams. always good to see you, pete. walk us through this. who's looking, still, into the president with potential legal implications? what are the problems he might still face? >> well, he faces at least two criminal investigations and perhaps up to four civil lawsuits. in new york the district attorney cyrus vance is investigating mr. trump's business practices. that work has accelerated recently, a grand jury is seeking records from his accountants. he claims that subpoena is overbroad. his appeal of that has actually been sitting on the supreme court's doorstep since last october. we think we're going to hear about that any day. in georgia the fulton county district attorney has opened an investigation into mr. trump's phone calls to election officials. on the civil side you have the new york attorney general. she's got a separate investigation whether the trump company misstated property values. he faces two lawsuits for defamation, one brought by jean carol, claiming he libelled her by denying her claim her raped h

let me bring in nbc news justice correspondent pete williams. what else do we know, if anything, about why this is happens? >> we had heard right after the riot that some police officers were suspended. tim ryan who oversees the budget for the police department said one officer was seen wearing a maga hat and giving directions, another posed for selfies with some of the rioters. you can see some of that behavior in the videos that came out immediately afterwards. no you what the capitol police say is that its office of professional responsibility is investigating 35 officers and that of that 35 six from now been suspended. so that's what's new here. the question is did they engage in behavior that helped the rioters? was it simply a situation where they bowed to the inevitable, they were overwhelmed and sort of stood out of the way or did they aggressively and actively help them in any way? some -- there's been some suggestion from the court documents from people who have been charged by the fbi that they say the capitol police gave them directi

our own pete williams reports that, in not one single criminal complaint that has been filed againstng associated with that group. so, that is not correct. second, on that question about the then-vice president's safety, we know from our own reporting, at the time, that this is something that the white house was absolutely aware of because of the nature of having to evacuate him from the senate chamber. and then, the fact that he sheltered in place within the capitol complex with his family, for hours. and then-president trump never called in to check in on him and it wasn't just that evening after the chaos at the capitol. it was for five days, afterwards. so we know that people close to mike pence were furious at this. and really, this was the breakdown of a relationship that had been defined by loyalty, from pence to trump. so, when you hear the lawyers there talking about how there was no way that the former president could have been aware that his vice president was in danger. we just simply know that that is not the case. and again, we can point to those phone calls and the fac

a member of antifa was among the first to be arrested according to our own pete williams none of the criminal complaints accuse anyone of being a follower of antifa. and as they accuse house impeachment managers of editing their own video for their own devices they did the same. they took people out of context. here is the video of democratic lawmakers back to back with the actual moments with one of those moments, here is senator corey booker. >> they're not welcome. they're not welcome any more any where. >> i thought a lot about blowing up the white house. >> please get up in the face of some congress people. >> and you should get in the face of your congress people and tell them about common sense solutions. common sense solutions, they also used a long montage of senators using the word fight. we heard it 238 times. >> i led the fight. >> continue to fight. >> never never never give up this fight. >> i'm sorry to play that again to you guys, but let's note the defense started their arguments by accusing the democrats of manipulating their evidence, selectively editing, and they

i saw pete williams report on your broadcast last night, brian, charges have been brought against theia groups, and they grow and they build every day. this is still an active crime scene. it's not interesting to me what jim jordan says. it will be interesting to me who carries it. >> and nicole, anyone who's had a break-in where they live knows the feeling of what i'm about to say, but the word "violated" is used all the time. your environs will never be the same. you will never feel that original notion of security. there we watch the minority leader mitch mcconnell entering the chamber. imagine, nicole, being a senator at one of the desks that was opened and gone through, your papers, whatever else you keep in there, being assigned to your desk in the u.s. senate is a big deal, learning the history of the senators who sat there looking for their signatures in the drawer is a big deal. that becomes your home away from home. and some of them, especially the republicans, are going to perhaps redefine cognitive dissonance over the course of this trial, nicole. >> such an important poin

william la jeunesse, thank you very much. pete hegseth co-host of "fox & friends" weekend is with me. there are so many problems with this already. you heard william la jeunesse reporting then. the covid-19 segment of this, president trump tried to deal with that with title 42. what is happening? >> that's a big part of it. if you are going to say we'll follow the science and i'm here to bring the country back to normalcy and then you will ignore the fact that people from other countries with different strains are allowed to flood in you aren't following the science and not doing your job. we've seen testing kits flooded down to border states because they've needed them. there has been an influx of cases because we aren't tracking who is coming and what the dynamic is. the american people would be excused if they have whiplash. i can't imagine what it is like to be a ice or body are patrol agent. they're creating a sanctuary country. they're abolishing ice at every level. not working with the countries at the source. el salvador a

william? he's available. and she had a very long laugh at that. peteblic servant. pete: and didn't know be on the program today. steve: she did not. i had to wake her up. shannon bream joins us from d.c. hey, shannon. shannon: there's so many things about that clip that are so awesome. i just love it so much. that's what we need in the morning, the people need more britney spears. free britney. pete: i agree with you. absolutely, shannon. steve: and you know mary doocy anyway. hey, it sounds like the president and the democrats' immigration bill is going to finally land on capitol hill this week. but, you know, while democrats are pushing for big changes, they know -- they can do the math -- there simply is not the appetite for big changes right now. shannon: yeah, and you guys know this. this is every time. the republicans are in control of the white house, the house and the senate or democrats are in control, everybody talks a really big game on immigration, and then no massive package ever gets done. and it's almost worse for president biden that th
