and i talked about the tragedy, that's another dimension to it, because the southern district of new york has built up an assistant u.s. attorney who walks into that courtroom and says something most every single judge banks on exactly every word. and this throws a wrench in that works. and i think that the judges, given what is they're seeing going on here for every you know, it's this is normal to think that that's going to cause them pause and to be more skeptical of what those assistant u.s. attorneys are saying. and i think that's that's a sad tragedy. yeah. >> all really good points david kelly across this breaking story. such an experienced voice. thank you. al sharpton sticks around. we have more coming up. this scandal is of course engulfing the donald trump's white house, as are other actions about preferential treatment. we're going to explain what you see on your screen there, and we have a lot more coming up, including by the end of the hour, the politics of end of the hour, the politics of civil rig tap into etsy for home and style staples to help you set any vibe. from custom lighting u

of it in the future? >> they absolutely can order that this prosecution be dropped. and it's just it's up to people in the southern district of new yorky out that order or resign. at some point, someone will do it, presumably. jose. and your other question is a really interesting one, because the memo says that this case should be dismissed without prejudice. and that means the charges can be refiled at any time. and the memo also says that the. when a us attorney at trump appointed u.s. attorney is confirmed in new york, that person will review the evidence in this case. so what does that do that that that creates a pall over the mayor of new york. he knows now that he could be charged at any time by the trump justice department. he is essentially beholden to them. and they said explicitly in the memo that there's no quid pro quo here. he has not agreed to help them, for example, with immigration enforcement in new york. but they also said one of the reasons they were doing this is because he lost his security clearance, and they want him to be able to cooperate with federal law enforcement actions in new york. so a complicated situa

up the case? a acting attorney general quit last week, along with half the office. >> yeah, well, theoretically, the other prosecutors here in southern district of new york could take up this case, there has been talk of a special prosecutor taking up the case or perhaps it could be dropped all together. it will take time at federal court, not clear. lawrence incredible. >> steve: glad you are there. >> lawrence: interesting to see how this plays out. this is not a plea agreement, which is what judges get involved in and say in interest of justice, i will allow this plea to go through. >> steve: like with hunter biden. >> lawrence: you have the plaintiff, the state, and the defense both saying they wan this out. you can't force another branch to pursue prosecution, you can reject the deal. i look forward to seeing how it unfolds. >> ainsley: up late last night watching sean hannity's exclusive interview with elon and with president trump. you know they are working on doge together saving a lot of money, they are saying 55 trillion. >> steve: billion. >> ainsley: billion they have saved so far in the first month. here is a portion of that interview. >> i think think

attorney for the southern district of new york. up until a few days ago. ciety, and was even considered a rising star in conservative legal circles. years ago, she clerked for the late supreme court justice antonin scalia and after his death praised his legacy, calling him, quote, the real deal. in fact, this week she referenced none other than scalia as part of her decision making in a forthright letter to us attorney general pam bondi. sassoon refused to carry out orders from acting deputy attorney general emil bovÉ to drop the corruption charges against new york mayor eric adams, and offered her resignation from the role trump had appointed her to just three weeks earlier, writing that dismissing adams indictment would be, quote, inconsistent with my ability and duty to prosecute federal crimes without fear or favor and to advance good faith arguments before the courts. scalia, she wrote, instilled in me a sense of duty to contribute to the public good and uphold the rule of law. now, it's remarkable, right, that this woman, a conservative prosecutor, di

after putting up hundreds of millions of dollars in an attempt to get bail, they've been denied bond, shipped back up to new york, where this case has been filed in the southern district in new york, and they've spoken to it sounds like over 40 different women who do not know each other have no reason to collude with each other, yet all corroborate each other in very similar and very disturbing stories about what they had suffered at the hands of these men. >> they're being housed in a facility where some other high profile suspects are being held. >> the new york u.s. attorney's office has been very busy. there's no irony lost here that they're being housed in the same these cases are remarkablybs. similar about men who have had wealth and privilege and power for so long, and got away with it for so long, and now the walls have closed in, and now they're they're really seeing that their number is up. >> a los angeles celebrity hairstylist killed in cold blood at home. now his wife is on trial for orchestrating the murder in the murder of fabio simoncelli. we have already two people who have pled are convicted, and now we're dealing with the wife. so she claims she's

amna: to discuss the up heefl is jessica roth, former prosecutor for the district of new york. looks like the department of justice has found someone who is willing to move forward with dismissing the charges against mayor adams. what happens now? is the judge required to accept that dismissal? >> no. the judge is not required to dismiss the dismissal right away. they require leave of court to dismiss it. that suggests the court is not meant to be a rubber stamp. but there is limited authority for a court denying leave to dismiss and the court has the authority to inquire into the reasons for the dismissal to make sure they are not improper and in the public interest and given the records set forth in the letter that the court would have a hearing here. but if the court were to find that the reasons were improper, it's really not clear what would happen then because if the court were to deny leave the d.o.j. doesn't want to move forward with the prosecution, who would prosecute the case, it's not clear that the court has the authority to appoint a special prosecutor or someone

of the action happens, between brooklyn, manhattan, thereabouts. the other two districts are upstate. the northern district covers albany, utica, up to canada and then buffalo, rochester. that basically is how the state of new york is divided in terms of the federal districts. i think there are 94 federal districts, not 96. we have four of them. so eastern district and southern district, basically those in the united states are the primary courts which handle a lot of high-profile cases because it is new york and it basically is a rough education about how the federal courts go about doing their business. peter: when you are watching a relatively modern series like the sopranos, are you seeing reality? judge block: actually, i had a major mafioso case, the peter gotti prosecution after his brother john died in prison, somebody had to take over the family, they gambino family. and peter, he was not really caught up in that world like his brother was and some other members of the family but he was the uncle and they made him the head of the family, to keep it in the family, i guess. so then the government prosecuted peter in this wide sweeping indictment several years ago together with 15 other people to try to cl

new york city mayor eric adams. msnbc legal correspondent lisa rubin joins me now. lisa, get us up to speed. what did a judge just decide? >> judge dale ho of the southern district of new york. ali is the same judge who held a hearing a couple of days ago on that motion to dismiss the eric adams indictment. today, he has decided that the eric adams trial will be postponed indefinitely. but he is essentially called in reinforcements. he's asked the former solicitor general of the united states, paul clement, to serve as an amicus or friend of the court and basically put himself in the position that the former prosecutors were in to make this more of an adversary process. you'll recall from the hearing a couple of days ago, both the department of justice now through the acting deputy attorney general and eric adams's lawyers, represented by alex spiro, they want this case to go away. and judge ho is essentially saying, i need to hear from somebody who might represent a different point of view, or at least a neutral point of view. he's asked for briefing, and in the meantime, that trial is on hold indefinitely. >> so the trial is on hold. but what happens next here

the southern district of new york, she filed a big lawsuit against wayfarer studios and a bunch of other people. he ended upomised to sue her into oblivion and that is obviously what he's trying to do. he fired a monster lawsuit and a complaint based on new information. so now we are waiting to see what her team is doing. i think they have said they are going to be filing a complaint as well. in this thing has tentacles. you have a lengthy side litigations going on and this is one of them. >> carley: let's talk about fat, let's talk about blake lively weaponizing a digital army because that is what justin baldoni or blake lively is also doing in "the new york times" piece. he is suing "the new york times" over that. >> yeah, in her california civil rights complaint, she pointed at the gate will maker at jed wallace and a company he owns a pair to basically are text messages in the civil rights complaint which should not be public, which is part of his allegation that basically says, jed is doing a great job on the internet with the smear campaign. i'm paraphrasing and it obviously doesn't say that but impli

up. and i think we'll just have to see now what judge ho does in the southern district of new york.as a hearing, and i hope he holds their feet to the fire and asks. really tough questions about why this move would be in the interests of justice. >> well, the. >> the interest. >> of justice is. >> is not. >> something that. >> is important to this justice department. >> we talk. >> about fools and cowards. that's all. >> we seem to have running it right now. and then you want. to extrapolate that out a little bit further. you can include the mayor of new york, who went. >> on fox. >> news to talk about why. >> what his. >> lawyer had to say about all of this didn't amount to a quid pro quo. let's take a. listen to the honorable mayor. think about my attorney. alex ferrari, one of the one of the top trial attorneys in the country. imagine him going inside saying that the only way mayor adams is going to assist in immigration, which i was calling for, for since 2022, is if you drop the charges, that's quid pro quo. that's a crime that took us three. she took it took her three weeks to

chris, instead of me has moved from new york to us district court. judge dale ho has said that prosecutors must show up and explain their rationale for dropping the corruption and bribery charges against mer. adams, adams himself, will also appear and be asked to explain what if anything, he consented to in exchange for the charges being dropped. now he has publicly said there is no quid pro quo here, but the acting us attorney who was overseeing the case resigned in protest saying it said a dangerous precedent. this is a woman who had served under the conservative supreme court justice antonin scalia . some see the judge's summons to the parties here as pushed back to what the justice department is doing as well. but legal experts. question, what power if any, the judge would have to actually stop this from going forward? if prosecutors do decide to drop the charges in the case now. meanwhile, even if the charges are dropped, the governor of new york has been meeting with local officials after the uh for deputy mirrors resigned. in the wake of these latest developments. she does have the power to remo

of resignations really shaking up doj? >> i think the question. >> pam. >> is, are. >> the resignations over or will there be more to come because the acting u.s. attorney for the southern district of new yorkelle sassoon, resigned after she said she couldn't follow through with the directives set by the acting deputy attorney general, who ordered her to dismiss the corruption case against adams, not based on the merits of the case, but because they said it related to the politicalization of the prosecution. and also they said it was distracting adams from carrying out president donald trump's agenda in new york on immigration enforcement. so sassoon resigned and in a very pointed eight page letter, she said it amounted to a quid pro quo. now, both the justice department and adams team have denied that there is a quid pro quo, but that caused her to resign. she also informed the attorney general's office that the line prosecutors were working on the case in new york would not sign this motion to dismiss. they were put on administrative leave. then the case was transferred to washington, d.c., and there they were also met with a wall of resistance. that's when those five career prosecutors i

district of new york. you're seeing it at main justice in the public integrity section. you're seeing it at the fbi upseventh floor, the leadership. and by the way, the leadership selected by the trump administration. so these are career people and at times, trump administration, selected career people who are pushing back. and is because it is so outside of the norm. i want to make sure people understand you do not see in any normal administration career, people quitting over. people are used to policy differences. people are used to having differences of opinion. when you. this is so rare. as i said, it's the nixon administration, the prior trump administration. and now just weeks into this administration, you are seeing that people being really up in arms in an apolitical way because of essentially you have somebody who is a convicted criminal in the white house, an adjudicated convicted criminal in the white house, who is dismantling the department of justice. >> there's also something. >> just so preposterously disingenuous, even about. >> the cover story. >> of the quid pro. >> quo, which is tha

time and time again, and she gave up the position of the acting head of one of the most incredible prosecutors offices in the country, the southern district of new york. and the lead prosecutor of the case, hagan scott, was a decorated iraq war veteran. he clerked for justice roberts and justice kavanaugh, when justice kavanaugh was on the court of appeals. in his resignation letter, he wrote, i expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool or enough of a coward to file your motion, but it was never going to be me. i think we should think about those words when we take our votes. i expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool or enough of a coward to file your motion, but it was never going to be me. my republican colleagues need to show some of the same courage as these public servants. they need to stop acquiescing and stand up to this assault on our justice system, and a good place to start is by voting against patel. the fact is federal law enforcement and the american people deserve a director who embodies the bureau's motto -- fidelity, bravery, and integrity. i will be voting no on his confirmation, and i a

district. in fact, still up on the justice department website, six pages of press releases on important cases he's been involved with, including the successful corruption prosecution of the fbi's former new york head of counterintelligence. in his resignation letter today, scotten took the acting deputy ag to task, calling out bove, who has been at the center of this legal storm, for seeking the dismissal of charges against mayor adams. but in a way that could revive them if adams doesn't do the administration's bidding, he writes, quote, no system of ordered liberty can allow the government to use the carrot of dismissing charges, or the stick of threatening to bring them again, to induce an elected official to support its policy objectives. he goes on, any assistant u.s. attorney would know that our laws and traditions do not allow using the prosecutorial power to influence other citizens, much less elected officials. in this way. yet the administration already seems to have done just that. yesterday, mayor adams agreed to cooperate more fully with ice on immigration enforcement, and this morning he did a joint appearance on fox news with tom homan, the border czar, who reminded him of his

district of new york. these were charges that were brought against steve bannon during the first trump presidency. president trump then pardoned steve bannon before the manhattan district attorney's office took upn the same facts. so you have to ask yourself, who would have testified at this trial? and given that the enmity between the federal government and alvin bragg's office is at an all time high, there may have been a calculus that they couldn't have gotten the cooperation that they really needed from federal actors before they went to trial. >> chris. >> lisa rubin, thank you. well, new york city has become the epicenter for the democratic opposition to donald trump, or at least the epicenter of attention brought on by what's expected to be a brutal battle for mayor. with congressional democrats at odds, including some of them voting for trump's cabinet nominees. democratic governors and big city mayors are increasingly emerging as a possible line of defense. new york's mayor, eric adams, was already facing a reelection fight before the justice department got involved in his federal corruption case. but now this race, in one of the country's most democratic cities, will give us clues to

up in the department of justice. >> can you just talk about the sort of atmosphere and folks that you're talking with at main justice and in, you know, places like southern district of new yorkn, you one thinks nixon, but nixon was, you know, ordering people to do things they found distasteful and they resigned. this is a combination of people doing that, resigning because they find orders to be corrupt or corrupting. and donald trump now saying he's going to clear out all of these prosecutors simply because they were biden appointees. this feels like he wants very desperately to corrupt the department of justice. >> yes. i mean, it is common for u.s. attorneys to turn over when there is a new presidential administration. so that part alone doesn't bother me. but there is this idea that you see a through line in so many of these communications, donald trump's executive orders and many of the memos that were issued by attorney general pam bondi when she first took office. and they all say things like, we want to make sure that you will discharge your duty to implement the president's agenda faithfully. that is not the oath that prosecutors take. the oath prosecutors take is t

up to. she wants to tell these people how to invade, how to invade arrest, how to invade lice. and we still got child predators we're looking for in new york. in her district, people convicted ofld sex crimes, people who have been convicted of rape. and she wants to say she's educating them on constitutional rights. we're trying to enforce the laws that congress enacted. i believe she's a member of congress. so if they're writing laws they don't want to enforce, i can think they got better things to do with their time. but as a member of congress, you would think she'd want ice to enforce the laws, the laws they enacted that they appropriate us funding to do. and that's what we're trying to do. and she's making it more difficult and more dangerous. >> you know, it's i'm sure a free speech argument can be made. okay. she has every right to say anything she wants. when does it cross a line into aiding and abetting law breaking? it would. would it have to have direct involvement by her in helping people to evade ice? >> that's exactly the question i posed to the deputy attorney general. i asked him to look into it. i said, you know, i know through my career, someone steps in fron
