, as he gets the room at rikers, it's still rikers, it has a coffee pot, who might be on his mind ins in at rikers he is in the settling in phase. here is what "the times" writes about the weisselberg piece. quote, the basis for an insurance fraud charge against mr. weisselberg emerged in a court filing last year as part of the new york attorney general's civil investigation into trump and his family business. that inquiry separate from the district attorney's criminal investigation eventually resulted in a september lawsuit against trump. three of his adult children and his company. it's scheduled to go to trial in the fall. i guess my question is, if that exposure was known to al weisselberg and his team that long, why is it now something that they could use to borrow tim's language, you know, turn the screws on him with? >> well, those charges were filed in a civil case where the standard of proof is preponderance of the etched. when alvin bragg walked away, it appeared apparent they weren't pursuing this criminally. things apparently have changed. it could be tax investigation wh

now the dispensed on time and rikers island, and with the prospect that he may spend more time there,re vulnerable to the pressure of the campaign. >> and michael, what about people who are critical about the fact that brag is gonna continue to go to the trough in terms of allen weisselberg. they've tried it before, he's an older guy, he's now serving time in rikers, he hasn't flipped, i mean he's finally convened a panel of a grand jury to be able to listen to the evidence, but is this not enough? you have mike pomerantz saying that the da's office once considered wrinkle charges against donald trump. should be a little bit of a water wider neck that's presented to the grand jury? >> ragtime's and it looks at his evidence and says, i don't think that i can obtain a conviction or sustained it on appeal, so all pause this, he gets it all upset, and has a history fit and leaves. now we don't know whether or not pomerantz is right that he has a conviction as a case that he can obtain a conviction for, or brag is right. but bragg is a person that's in charge of that office, who has to tak

remember weisselberg is serving a five month sentence at rikers after pleading guilty to tax fraud charges. and then there is the looming threat of the fulton county criminal investigation into trump's efforts to overturn the election results in that state, a probeth many experts say pose the highest threat for trump. fulton county district attorney faunae willis recently said decisions are imregarding indictments after a special grand jury submitted its recommendations s to her last month. grand juries everywhere. there's a lot of moving parts on multiple fronts. at the federal level there is more than enough for attorney general merrick garland to mull over, the a.g. will ultimately have to make a decision based on the recommendation of the special counsel as to whether charges are warranted in the two trump investigations. and now there is one more thing thatne merrick gar lnld has to think about. john durham, the special counsel appointed by trump's attorney general, bill barr, to investigate the origins of the trump-russia probe, well, john durham is still on the job and he now report

take a look at this, the dolphin helicopter crew posted the stranded riker at about six people in theorning at muscle rock beach. officials say the man reported he was stuck on the beach with no way back up the cliff, that was 90 minutes prior. san mateo county fire could not help him because of the steep terrain, so the coast guard says the rescue was successful because the hiker was able to contact first responders. powerful winter storm leaving its mark. oof, and in one cliffside crumbles, taking homes with it. taking a live look outside at those conditions, you cannot see the raindrops, but they are coming. the new series of showers. spencer will let us know especially when and where they will be the heaviest, a head your accuweather forecast. chris: what a night for mr. shark. patrick marleau's number 12 lifted into the rafters. class, how stephen curry is violating on dion: alva stormwatch coverage takes us to southern california. you can see some of the dramatic images. a soaked hillside gave way in valencia, north of los angeles. at least three motorhomes were swept into the s

>> it is serious. 75-year-old man, rikers is a specially hellish president.hat has him on the hook for insurance fraud seems pretty clean to me and. it has him telling the insurance company to reinsurers trump that they have done an independent appraisal of a holdings of the company. they had not. if he wrote that and a tacit to it, and that is pretty flat out insurance fraud. and that carries a couple years. he is 75 and in a really bad spot. if that is their strategy, you know, i think it is promising. >> let's talk about this new book from pomerantz. he is claiming in this book that he was ready to move forward with an indictment, back in 2021 of the former president. alvin bragg instead decided to refrain. we are told reportedly due to his lack of confidence in the witness we reliability and the lack of evidence. knowing what you know about these two individuals, and that we are learning more about where they both are, both their strategies here, what do you make of it? >> this is tricky and it will get trickier all week. pomerantz goes on a pr tour start

he is in rikers now, and you don't know how that's going to affect him day to day in terms of will he decide he is going to cooperate in a part of an investigation in order to get himself out of that situation that he's in. and i think that's just such a personal decision, you know, that he is going to make one day. and there is -- a lot of days may past where it doesn't happen and then he is going to say enough. and that's what alvin bragg is counting on. but i have to say. i was fascinated to hear and glad to see this issue of the valuations. this coming into the news again, because it is something that this family has been doing for deck raids. we did a story in 2018 on the inherited wealth that donald trump inherited from his father, fred. when we started out, we didn't quite know the crazy road that that story was going to take us down, but it centered around appraisals. and for decades, this family has been using appraisals to their advantage. when they need a charitable contribution for a tax return, they go high. when they need a bank they go high. and when there is something

. >> which has faced repercussions for -- >> and is now sitting in rikers island. >> okay.o a lot of this is centered on you, this reinvigorated investigation that you talk about. how were you contacted and what happened when you -- with your interactions with the dac.a.'s office? >> i had dealt with the d.a. 13 times prior to my most recent revisit to the d.a. my first time under the breg administration. they contacted me, most recently, they asked for my cell phones, because they want to be able to extract from it the voice recordings that i had had with keith davidson, former attorney to stormy daniels before michael avenue natti, sot way it could be used as evidence if they proceed forward. which i suspect they are. >> you turned over a lot of information -- >> i didn't turn it over, i was raided by the fbi and they took it. >> so this is new stuff that you turned over to -- >> it's the same stuff, but new to the district attorney. they've seen some of it, but now they're in full possession of it. >> okay. people are wondering why donald trump has not faced any sort of

on top of the five month sentence he's already serving and rikers island.ng me now is barbara mcquade, former u.s. attorney in michigan, law professor at the university of michigan law school, and msnbc legal analyst also with, us joe -- former assistant watergate special prosecutor, and author of the watergate, girl and co-host of hashtag sister in law podcast. thank you both so much for being here. what do you make, first i'll go to barbara, on this new reporting by the new york times? >> well it makes some sense to me, i mean, it seems that today, the witness that we are aware of who is central to the stormy daniels charges against donald trump's michael, cohen and although he is there, he is an instrumental witness he's a witness with some baggage. and i think that he's got a conviction for perjury for example, so i think juries would be rightfully skeptical of any testimony that he has. if your prosecutor, you're looking for ways to bolster his testimony, to corroborated, either with documents or other witnesses. so allen weisselberg becomes an obvious

fraud conviction would lead to potentially a whole separate amount of time beyond what he's doing at rikersrg could get out of prison probably sooner if he flipped. and there are new details about a range of trump probes that come out of new york. there's a prosecutor writing frankly a pretty controversial tell-all stylebook. now, we don't have the full book yet although aspects of it are being reported and reviewed. mark served in the d.a.'s office under the prior d.a., then the new. a. allen bragg and he clearly clashed about why they closed down aspects of the trump case. now, in a forthcoming book he likens trump to -- who headed the gambino crime family. he also says he was pursuing a racketeering case against trump and then resigned in protest early last year when the d.a. decided not to indict. to be clear that means when the normal process went forward his supervisor did not agree he had a strong case, he left angrily and now is selling a book about it. just to be clear about how we're getting this information. he also goes after that very boss d.a. bragg for stopping what he viewed
