this is a picture of ethel and julius rosenberg. they were arrested in the summer of 1954 for legedly stealing the secret of the atomic bomb. this a case at came out of british investigation. thbritish had discovered that of their scientists in the manhattan project to build a bomb during the war had been giving information to the soviets. so british were able to identify this scientist. he then name some names that led them eventually to ethel and rosenberg. the information from the british scientist probably helped soviets get a bomb quicker than they would have otherwise. maybe 1 to 4 years faster than if they had not gotten information. so the british spy in the project was important. ethel and julius rosenberg were really not important in that story. julius a spy and ethel knew that he was a spy. stole some important military. right. but were arrested in 1950. they're accused of stealing the secret of the atomic bomb. and they were executed in 1953. okay. so for people who are afraid of government, of communists in the governme

chuck rosenberg is also still with me.a, what does this mean for jack smith's ability to move the case forward? >> it's a very interesting question and a very open one. at the least we'll see hearings before judge chutkan in terms of at least three of the buckets of allegations here and whether or not they constitute official or unofficial conduct. but remember, one of the things that the court does at the very outset is to say he's certainly absolutely immune from one bucket of allegations, and that's with respect to his interactions with the department of justice. we know that for sure will be off the table, not only in terms of the charged conduct, but also in terms of what evidence can be considered at trial because that is a part of this ruling as well. the court saying anything that constitutes an official act for which the department does not overcome the presumption here, that also can't even by considered by the jury as evidence at trial, for example, of what the former president knew or what he intended to do. i

let's bring in don rosenberg.n crimes after his son was killed by an illegal immigrant ten years ago. we have spoken over the years and we spoke most recently just last week. it struck me what you must be going through seeing this happen to other families in this country. whether it is their children or their loved ones being attacked, brutally assaulted, in some cases murdered by people who were here illegally. many of them with lengthy rap sheets. what is your reaction to what you have been seeing? >> it's really difficult. i've been doing this for almost 13 years and it's very hard to watch something happen over and over and over again that causes so much pain which i am very familiar with and my family is very familiar with. and see our government not only ignoring it but actually promoting it. so to some extent, every day i relive my son's death through all of these other people who are suffering the same consequence. >> sandra: you look at what's happening right here in new york city. it was the cover of "th

of course chuck rosenberg is reading it slightly differently. there is going to be some politics at play here about what this means for the race for the white house. joining us now, nbc news white house correspondent monica alba, nbc news senior national politics reporter jonathan allen, suzanne susan glasser an wiley. is the white house team, the trump campaign team or the biden campaign team reading this as a loss? >> reporter: well, we are hearing from a senior biden campaign adviser first here, katy, and i think that's partially telling as well. we are talking about the politics here, and the white house for its part has been very careful about weighing in on some of these cases that apply to ongoing legal matters, and they want to be really respectful of that, and they want to be sure to be completely independent of that before weighing in on some of this. so while president biden has talked about the court largely and has really said he believes this current court is out of whack in his words and really out of balance he has suggested, the

here's our russia editor steve rosenberg. the trial was behind closed doors.to 16 years in a high—security penal colony. whatjust happened in this courtroom is unprecedented in the history of modern russia — an american journalist convicted of espionage in a trial that was held behind closed doors, a trial that us officials have dismissed as a sham. in a joint statement, the wall streetjournal�*s publisher and editor in chief called it a "disgraceful sham conviction". they added... mr gershkovich was arrested at a steakhouse on a reporting assignment in yekaterinburg. he was accused of collecting secret data about a defence factory nearby. his employer has accused moscow of stockpiling american citizens in russian jails to trade them for russians jailed abroad. is a prisoner swap likely? it's happened before. in 2022, russia freed us basketball star britney griner. she'd beenjailed on a drugs charge. in return, america released convicted russian arms dealer viktor bout. as soon as i win the election, i will have that reporter out. donald trump promises big, bu
