now less than 48 hours away, here's nbc's julie sirkin.long holiday weekend of campaigning for former president donald trump, and today he's hitting the gas pedal, courting voters and speed racers at the coca-cola 600 in north carolina. you believe so? a big nascar contest in a key battleground state, north carolina. but last night, a far less friendly reception than trump typically sees at his own rallies. the crowd at the libertarian national convention booing the former president combined with us, you have to combine with us. we cannot give crooked joe biden four more years. in 2016, trump was able to reach voters outside traditional party lines, but this year, the libertarian party should nominate trump for president of the united states. whoa. maybe you don't want to win. maybe you don't want to win. libertarian voters seem hesitant to support the former president. i would rather eat my own foot out of a bear trap. independent candidate robert f kennedy jr, who spoke to the same audience on friday. no more propaganda was briefly consi

. >> julie sirkin is joining me now at the very latest. to me all about what prosecutors are asking for here. >> reporter: it is comments in that email from the filing late last night to judge aileen cannon, the judge overseeing of course trump's classified document case that had asked because of trump's comments, quote, his repeated ts mischaracterization has endangered officers involved in threaten the integrity of the proceedings. because of that, he is asking a limited gag order limiting essentially what former president trump can say. what public statements he can say about law-enforcement officials, including those that are involved in this case right now. this is of course that cthe fb knockdown. merrick garland said it was untrue. the former president had lied and mischaracterized about the claims. he was saying, in fact, this is standard protocol the fbi was filing and they put additional caution in place to make sure for example the former president was actually in new york when they searched his home two years ago. also making s

. >> julie sirkin is here in studio with me. that is a big treat. it isn't a treat is the fact that we have to talk about this kind of dysfunction that seems to be commonplace on capitol hill. what are we hearing from marjorie taylor greene and jasmine crockett now question >> i have to tell you, thursday night when we were watching the oversight hearing, we want exciting that level of dysfunction. was supposed to be an ordinary markup, as ordinary as that can be, to hold attorney general merrick garland in contempt of congress. this was the republican-led oversight committee meeting at night. turned into a lot of chaos, jabs traded back and forth, for started with marjorie taylor greene is throwing a jab at jasmine crockett, saying she couldn't read or understand the material through her false eyelashes . jasmine crockett retargeting . here is what jasmine crockett had to say last hour to our own katie phang. watch this. >> do you have any other thoughts you would like to share for your fellow congresswoman marjorie taylor greene ? >> don't come fo

we will begin with julie sirkin on capitol hill. julie, welcome. the prosecutor's request is different from a gag order, but what exactly are they asking of the judge? >> reporter: this is a first, let me just say, alex, in this case concerning the classified documents that special counsel jack smith is asking the judge overseeing this case, eileen cannon, to actually impose a limit on what the former president is allowed to say when it comes to making statements in the public against law enforcement officials. the reason the prosecutor said -- i want to read a part of this for you, "trumps repeated mischaracterization has endangered law enforcement officers involved in the investigation and threatened the integrity of these proceedings. of course, this all goes back to that search conducted at trump's mar-a-lago resort two years ago, august of 2022. this comes as the former president, as you mentioned that the top, said falsely that president biden somehow conspired to assassinate trump, when the fbi conducted the search of his home, after which w

. >> nbc news congressional correspondent julie 2shs sirkin, how exactly would this plan work and what the roadblocks right now that it needs to pass before going into effect in. >> reporter: yeah, there are a lot of roadblocks of course one that could come up on the other side of this executive action. a series of executive actions when it comes to the border. the biggest critical part of this is for mexico to work in tandem with the u.s., with the biden administration, our sources tell us that's one of the big reasons until after the presidential elections in mexico, after june 2nd to do something like this, you mentioned one of those biggest authorities, would be president biden actually using his authority, known as 212f code of the law to turn away certain groups of migrants to bring down some of those illegal border crossings and an effort for democrats to reclaim the narrative here. >> julie, i wonder, on capitol hill, there was that bipartisan effort that fell apart, what's the read there about what the president's doing? >> reporter: this afternoon, the senate democrats of cou

. >> capitol hill correspondent, julie sirkin. i know, julie, that you are in the room for trump's speech. so did he seem to have any supporters in the crowd there? >> there were some supporters who came specifically to see his speech. these weren't people that were intending libertarian party convention all weekend long. in fact, they saw them gather in like, some of them had suitcases that looks like they just arrived to town. right before trump took the stage, interesting fully, they were actually sitting in the front few rows but the libertarian party delegates actually kicked them out to the back of the room so that they could stay in the seats that they paid for. of course, this libertarian convention, this is in a trump rally so i thought that was interesting. trump's whole point of making this appearance, at the beginning, why am i here? why would i come? because he started getting boos even before he got on stage. it is because he, like robert f entity jr. who also took the stage the night before at the same invention and

nbc's julie sirkin is here with us in new york this morning. julie, good morning. peter. good morning. another blow for the conservative supreme court justices this morning as alito faces criticism and those calls to step aside this morning, top democrats demanding supreme court justice samuel alito recuse himself from cases related to january sixth. after the new york times published this photo showing an american flag flying upside down at his home. the picture, reportedly taken just over a week from the capitol attack and just days before president biden's inauguration. an upside down flag meant to signal distress and has been used as a sign of protest by both the left and the right. but some of alito's neighbors telling the times they were alarmed because it was the symbol adopted by some trump supporters during the capitol riot, falsely claiming president biden stole the election. alito, confirming the photo, telling the times, quote, i had no involvement whatsoever in the flying of the flag. it was briefly placed by mrs. alito in response to a neighbor's use of obje
