he did this with the help off the other defendants, his children -- donald trump jr., ivanka trump, and eric trumpand trump organization controller. >> that's some of what she laid out today. it is true you cannot do guilty by association, family, or otherwise. mr. barr is suggesting that perhaps they don't have the goods. the complaint, this lawsuit says the children were intimately involved in the operation of the business, were aware of the true financial performance, which the suit alleges they were all lying about and says donald trump jr., ivanka trump, and eric trump knowingly participated in the fraudulent scheme that was integral to the company, that required their participation, and these are exactly the claims and assertions that are backed up partly by evidence in the 200-page suit, and which will be adjudicated in court. now you have allen weissleberg named more than 80 times in this suit. and someone we heard less about, the krofrp patroller. he cut the actual checks. he's now a defendant as well. again, no guilt by association, can't be in trouble just for working for trump or havin

as executive vice presidents of the trump organization, donald trump jr., ivanka trump, and eric trumpnowingly participated in the scheme, indeed the fraudulent scheme was integral to the business of the trump organization and required the participation of trump and his children as well. joining me now is msnbc news correspondent tom winter. and an msnbc contributor. let me start you with and kind of give us the broad strike if you will, for the children's involvement in this suit. >> well, i mean they are tied definitely to this because they have had an active role in the business, and just to pick up on an interesting conversation you were just having, as far as the long term impacts on the trump organization, the banks that currently hold the loans now, they might decide, you know what, we're going to keep going with this, we have a lawsuit and we like the terms of it and keep going from there, and they may have covenants in those agreements that they may have to come back to the trumps and do something different with the loans, but going forward, i think, and this is important, as

what democrats think is a winning issue for them is trump, trump, trump, trump, maga, trump. right. lk about. they have had a remarkable sort of turn around, right now they're leading in most of the generic polls, biden's approval rating still under water but he's seen a moderate restoration in that. you know the battleground map better than i do, john, and the bottom line is republicans need to win a much smaller percentage of those battleground house seats in order to take control of the house. the math is still on the republican side when it comes to the house. so talking about crime and immigration may not be a great idea in the sense it puts the conversation on territory that republicans want to be on. >> we'll see how it goes, 50 days now. up next for us the june supreme court decision erasing roe v. wade we know it stirred a spike in women registering to vote. will that change the november midterms or are other issues now, like crime, more pressing. makes every day... a "let's dig in" day... >> mm. >> ...a "chow down" day... a "take a big bite" day... a "perfectly delicious" d

either one or more of donald trump's lawyers, or possibly donald trump himself. if the trump lawyers turn on donald trump, and testify that they were simply passing on a lie told to them by donald trump. none of that, none of that is mentioned in the trump lawyers filing tonight, which insults the court with the lie. those lawyers, and donald trump fully cooperated with the national archives, and the justice department's attempts to retrieve all of the records owned by the federal government, they were at donald trump's home legally. as the fbi investigation developed, they realized they had been lied to by the trump lawyers on june 3rd, and so they went to a federal judge in florida, and obtained a search warrant to search donald trump 's home on august 8th. and what did they find on august 8th? in the hotel, but donald trump lives in in florida, when he is living in florida. they found twice as many documents with classification markings on them, then they were given by the trump lawyers on june 3rd, when the trump lawyers lied under oath in writing. twice as many. in the j

trump organization, including by mr. trump himself. she alleges that eric trump, ivanka trump appear donald trump jr. knowingly participated in the fraudulent schemes. she says trump and his company lied more than 200 times about the value of his assets, and she is seeking a quarter of a billion dollars, that's billion with a b, in allegedly ill-gotten funds as well as seeking to bar the trumps from ever running a business in the state again. the former president denies any wrongdoing and accuses the attorney general, a democrat, of a political vendetta. there is a lot to the to in the coming hours here on c ncnn, so want to get right to jessica schneider and laura coates. good evening to both of you. jessica, further reporting, the appeals court allowing the justice department to resume their review of the classified documents, what can you tell us? >> don, this was a unanimous three-judge panel notably with two trump appointees. they gave doj what the prosecutors there have been asking for repeatedly over the past week plus. now doj will be allowed to resume using those 100 classified documents that

as executive vice presidents of the trump organization, donald trump jr., ivanka trump and eric trumpso aware of and knowingly participated in the scheme. as executive vice presidents, the three children were intimately involved in the operation of the trump organization's business. they were aware of the true financial performance of the company, whether through donald trump jr.'s work on commercial leasing, ivanka trump's work on doral, trump chicago and opo, or eric trump's work on the golf course portfolio, which, of course, brought us the great revelation that they had all the money they needed from russia. is this the civil version of the kind of evidence that would be marshaled in a rico investigation and prosecution? >> yeah, look, it's pretty close. and a rico would show that they themselves were a criminal organization. but what is this? it's the equivalent, but as to the trump brand, which has always been so important to him and, of course, to his children. basically, it's -- it's the entire business. people have noted this. but just to put a finer point on it, all the prop

trump refused to pay contractors and workers dating back to the 1980s. then you have trump's charity foundation. according to "the washington post," trumpcharity to settle lawsuits involving his own for-profit businesses. and of course, who could forget about trump university, which, spoiler alert, was not a real university at all. the week-long school turned out just to be a massive scam. even a former employee called it a fraudulent scheme, which seems to be the general theme of donald trump's entire career. and the real kicker is he probably would have gotten away with most of it if had had never become president of the united states. this is the author of "the big cheat: how donald trump fleeced america." what a perfect title, david. you and i have talk about this for years. when i was running, i remember you being on my weekend show and we talked about how donald trump snookered the whole country, including, let's be honest, the media. he used to be on larry king talking about his billions. he got himself an "apprentice" show. this whole conceit that he was a self-made billionaire, never was true, was always a lie. how did he run t

trump judges. every trump judges hoping that donald trump's return to the presidency and gets to fill another supreme court pick. every trump judge knows how to qualify for supreme court qualify vacancy in a trump administration or any republican administration in the future. and that is, do what donald trump wants you to do and do it right now. the problem for the justice department in appealing judge aileen cannon's decision is that the appeals court that they would appeal to is dominated by six trump judges. and if they rule against the justice department, then the next appeal would be to united states supreme court, with six right wing republican judges, who believe and have agreed and putin writing their agreement with the thinking about abortion that was advanced 300 years ago in england by judges who also then believed in witches and believed which is should be put to death by the courts of england at that time. that is what the supreme court is now. the steady march toward enlightenment that supreme court was on for most of the 20th century is no more. you have a supreme court that actually l

in the white house to come up with new epithets for the consequences of such a step, while trump trump no trumprious man, trump has published the next one. look at it. everyone is talking about a big hurricane that will hit florida, but perhaps a much more important event in the long term is the message that regarding the russian gas pipelines to nord stream 1-2, which drew attention to the whole world as president, when he explained, how detrimental it could be depending on them for germany and other parts of europe at that time was now laughed at, but now we are no longer laughing. were acts of sabotage were committed. this could lead to major escalations or to war, while it is clear that for trump for the whole family there is not the slightest doubt who is behind these attacks. it's only absolute cretins who can blame russia for this. sometimes when someone breaks down, like the former polish foreign minister, who first thanked america for blowing up the gas pipelines, and then the shamefaced stuart look, but are happy. manuscripts don't burn even so bad. like you, so erase do not erase, an

his right-hand man, when it came to finance, may not be charging trump directly but the trump organization, that's him that's president trumpit was a family run organization and it was all president trump. that is just one example, the documents, to january 6th, congress, so many things -- we are going to hear, perhaps, from laetitia james, the new york state attorney general, about her investigation into some of the business practices. we are looking for to hearing that. he has so many issues on the plate right now that he has a battery of lawyers, ever-changing, of course, cast of characters, some of them leave out of their own exposure or have been paid or what have you. and it is all consuming. it is the war that he is waging right now. >> it's like peter's reading my mind, joyce white vance. new york attorney general tish james. she is holding, tomorrow morning, what is being described as a major news conference. last week, the new york times reported that james could potentially sue trump -- obviously, we don't know what is coming tomorrow. but given what peter just laid out -- given what i have shared, how worried sh

general james is asking trump to put his money where his mouth is to the tune of $250 million, to be exact. she is also seeking to permanently barred donald trump jr., eric trump, and ivanka trump, from running a business in the state again. they want to prohibit the trump business from entering real estate deals for five years. that would be a move that would, effectively, shutter trump's business empire in his home state, right here, in new york. in response to the scathing accusations, in classic trump tantrum fashion, 76-year-old label is quote, racist, and a fraud, and then it is winding, and you guessed it, a witch hunt against him. it is in the hundreds of lawsuits over the last few years. why this one? it could have something to do with the claims laid out by laetitia james are pretty complicated. according to them, the ex president said, his gold plated apartment in trump tower was more than 30,000 square feet, turning into a whopping 327 million valuation. the reality? the xxx clocked in at less than 11,000 square feet, meaning trump inflated it three times its actual value. how brazen, and shameless of a lie, or do you have to be to fabricate someth

trump. there's a sweeping lawsuit against trump, three of his adult children and the trump organization, alleging they were involved in a decade-long financial scheme that allowed trump to fraudulently inflate his net worth by billions of dollars, allowing him to leverage the system for his own personal gain at the expense of others. >> white collar financial crime is not victimless. when the well connected break the law, to take in more money than they are entitled to, it reduces resources to working people, to regular people, to small businesses and all taxpayers. >> attorney general james campaigned on a promise of going after donald trump, is seeking a minimal of a quarter billion dollars from what she says are more than 200 examples of false and misleading asset valuations. she's asking a court to permanently bar trump and his children from serving as business officers in the state of new york. even though these are civil and not criminal charges, the implications from this lawsuit for trump and his business are potentially significant. >> claiming you have money that you do not have does no

we're going to trump, trump, trump everything. that's what we're going to talk about in the next block. even the education secretary is blaming president trump for what happened in the pandemic with schools. >> right. i got to tell you, the political office at the white house must be looking at the numbers and saying look, vilify donald trump. vilify his supporters. juan, i'm sorry. that's not what joe biden said last night. oh, just suppose specific maga republicans. it was directed to the millions of maga republicans out there. i have to tell you, i have never seen a politician go after the people the way that joe biden has gone after so many americans. i understand if you want to go after those of us in the media or political analysts or those republican strategists, fine. go after the politicians. it's another thing to go after basically use that term maga republican. they've been building this narrative for quite some time bringing in the ultra maga extremist, semi fascists. it's anti-american words to say semi fascist here in

but a federal judge appointed by donald trump has taken on the job of protecting donald trump from reputation harm. that is something donald trump couldn't do for himself, when he settled the trump university fraud case from $25 million that he had to pay to the victims of this fraud. we could fill this hour with one liners of donald trump's poisonous reputation from his days as a young night clubbing landlord, accused by the federal government, along with his father, of using racist practices and renting apartments, violating civil rights law, to standing accused tonight in a lawsuit by -- of rape and standing accused tonight as a defendant in a lawsuit of brought by kept -- donald trump's incitement of violent insurrection on january six and the physical attack and brutality against police officers at the capitol that day. capitol police say donald trump did it. capitol police say donald trump attacked them every bit as much as the people who were hitting them with baseball bats and hitting them with hairspray, and speier ends up trump flags. and american flags. that man who is already defending trump in those cases has no rep

trump's suggestions. in a court filing, they would accept trump's choice of judge raymond dearie to be that special master. why would the justice department suggest they would accept one of trump'sell, we really don't know, but it could be because trump's other candidate for the special master job has two words on his cv that are a big red flag. the words are jones day. trump's special master's candidate is paul huck junior, a partner at that mega law firm. jones day is one of the largest law firms in the country, and like most large law firms in the country, it's old. it's been around for nearly 130 years. what sets them apart from other law firms is it spent the last six years serving interests of one claim in particular, donald trump. and in return, donald trump has done his part to serve jones day. new york times business investigations editor that are david enrich has just written a book called soldiers of the day and, law forms and donald trump in the corporate corruption of justice. in it, he says how jones day made its way into trump's orbit. he traces the beginnings back to the first campaign, when john's day decided to take on trump as a client. in return, trump gave j

he traces the firm's history with trump back to the first campaign as jones day decided to take on trump as a client. in return trump gave jones day total control over his plans to appoint new judges to the court. most importantly the supreme court. this was important not just because it is the supreme court but because candidate trumps list will become a crucial turning point for his campaign. which explains years later that the list reassured a lot of republicans that may be trump was doing fundraisers for schumer but it looks like he may be okay on something that is important to us. the creation of the list mcconnell added became the single biggest issue bringing our side in line behind him as an trump. after trump became president he appointed a jones day lawyer, don to be white house counsel and immediately began using his role to fill the federal courts with jones they approved judges. it is written while he was in the house there is a saying among some republicans, no vacancy left behind. it was a not of course to how many conservatives began with embedding in the judiciary but it had a more specific close to

about russia's putin and why he's not worry of collapse in productivity, inflation, no, it's trump, trump, trump. it appears as though biden is more obsessed with donald trump than donald trump is obsessed with himself. it's crazy. jackie: o boy. that says a lot right there, john, but having said that todd, a lot of criticism about the content and pow polarizing it was when this is a president that stepped up to the podium and said i'm sheer to unite america and you had two marines flanking him and your thoughts on how the americans took the speech. >> the marines is just wrong, you shouldn't have marines in what amounts campaign speech. our colleague bret baier said, quote, it's a convention speech in front of independence hall. they shouldn't have had marines hall. as for esthetics, if you are going to go full michael bay, be the good guy michael bay, red, white and blue, don't go for bad but it's stupidity on the part of biden administration. as for our what our colleague john just said, this is to jeun the base because they don't achievement. like what is achievement? ruining the country's f

veins bursting and the neck, democracy under threat, trump, trump, trump. >> president biden: stood upher with two kid with type two diabetes. i mean it--the last time, the last guy was there? care over his name. democrats, independents in mainstream markup lukens have t be stronger, more determent and more committed to saving the american democracy. you just have to vote. we have to vote. you have to organize, mobilize, get out the vote. >> if harold hill was like you have trouble my friend, rubble trouble in river city, it would just buy beet like harold hill. that weird angry turn after he does those really bad jokes. when he said he was that guy before me? i mean it's believable that he forgot the name actually. i don't think that is joke work for. >> when you a 40 to percent approval rating, if got to do what you got to do and that is what biden is doing. his visit to the british embass to express his condolences on the passing of the queen create its own visual commentary about a crumbling empire. this is what it looks like. he looks less vigorous than the queen did in her finely

are just to be very overt and say, i'm going to give you the best of trump with the best of trump, because there is no worst of trump and it definitely he changed by winning the presidency in 2016. what republic voters many of them the base especially expects from their leaders. you know, before trump, you could you know trump's like this character out of the movie where the guy goes on tv and says everything that everybody always wanted to hear, but say because it wouldn't work. and before trump, somebody would run. it's like trump and everybody go. that's amazing. i wish somebody would say that. nobody can say that. they'll lose. well, trump says it all and acts the he acts and he wins. and so you try telling committed republican voter who voted for trump twice and wants him to run or you know undecided but they like him wish he would have won in 2020. try telling him this doesn't work. you can say he lost in 2020. republicans lost the house they lost the senate, but he won the presidency. and he came actually close, even though he lost handily, really came close to winning it again. when you look at the numbers i

got to do something with this trump fellow because he's a cover he built the trump tower remember that this is in the 8687 period so psy took me along to meet with mr. trump. there was no agent and no lawyer. and trump was so flattered that mr. newhouse a very sort of eminent figure in the world of arts letters would come to his office. he agreed to immediately to a book contract. and the book became art of the deal. there was a writer named tony schwartz or had already pitched a book to trump. and that was the book. and when it came out in december of 87 it event immediately to the top of the best cellist stayed there for six months sold a million copies a million copies clean and of course everybody was already saying well trump bought the cops. i can tell you trump doesn't buy his own book. you know, it's just not made that way. so it was a huge triumph and it certainly launched donald trump as a national figure. and one story i always tell because it's really relevant is a year or so 18 months or so later. i happened to be in atlantic city because a close relative of mine. who was then a young man a boy. wanted to see some wrestling. and we went to th
