willis.e that they may be cooperating witnesses at this point? >> i mean, it's dangerous to assume anything. because you just don't know. there are a number of reasons why somebody could be left out of an indictment. one of which is that they just don't fit within the r. i. c. o. scheme. based on what we know outside, i don't think that is the case for these two. they would seem to be people, based on what we know, who would fit within the r. i. c. o. scheme. but obviously we don't know everything. certainly not as much as the d. a.'s office knows, and certainly not as much as their attorneys. now if i were to place a bet, i would bet that they are cooperating with the state. but you just don't know for sure in this case, until we get towards trial and we see them on a witness list. you see them on a witness list, it's pretty clear they are cooperating. -- >> we will be trained on that. i believe that that would not be buying a pig in a poke, to get cleta mitchell and boris epshteyn to be coo

what fani willis does here brilliantly shows what they do.s is a high-profile case that they're focusing on now. it's the former president who tried to overturn the election, but they do a lot of other things, they get a lot of other grant funding that keeps their community safe and i think it's really smart of her to point out where the dallas go and ask jim jordan, is this what you want to be doing with your oversight powers in congress. >> we just got the report, guys. we're starting to go through it. ken dilanian is looking at it, lisa rubin is looking at it. it's 28 pages long. i want to give people a moment to digest what's in the report. katie, yesterday trump's team notified that he may seek to have the trial moved to federal court where he would ask for his charges to be dismissed. of course, a move to federal court is a tactic several defendants have been pursuing based on the other cases, has that shown any promise legally? >> we're still awaiting a ruling from the federal judge as to mark meadows attempts to remove. a hearing that

willie: typically it is. you get from premium leisure is normally similar to corporate deals. i don't think it is an issue for the industry. we continue to see strong demand in the premium cabins. guy: the fuel issue. this industry needs to de- carbonize. this will involve into e-sav. it is super expensive. i look at the journey this industry is going to have to go on. by 2050, can anyone afford to get on an airplane? this fuel is going to be so expensive. willie: it is very expensive today and will be more expensive. it has to. i've been saying this. anyone that believes you can transition to net zero at low cost is misleading. there will be costs. ultimately, that will be borne by the consumer. guy: does that mean a smaller industry? willie: it will impact the rate of growth. guy: a slower growth. willie: look at china, india, latin america. there is scope for growth in growing markets. the pace is impacted by the additional costs. guy: the industry and passengers seem to be on different pages. the governme

willis, a rising advocate in that movement.in the context of that era, because he was discussing how people that he worked with in that civil- rights resistance saw police like lapd as the enemy, and how he was inspired by malcolm x and mlk. >> we considered lapd to be the enemy. we thought they were nothing but trouble. they were not there to help us. we just saw them as occupying our neighborhoods. i have met two profits in my life. two. >> by any means necessary. >> i met martin luther king, and i met malcolm x. >> we want justice by any means necessary. we want the quality by any means necessary. >> dr. king could get a round up, he had charisma. i don't know how to plan, you just believe in him. >> we have difficulties ahead. but it really does not matter with me now, because i have been to the mountaintop. >> that view, what you heard there, was a formative influence on willis as a parent and as a lawyer. in fact, fani willis first learned about court from that defense side of the table. she went with her dad to the court

fani willis understands them. this is a strong strategic move on her part. >> >> joyce, let me stay with you on that point. because i read and we read that passage that you just described. and now you're getting me so much closer to understanding it. except for this. the defendants who are asking for a sovereign's have been asking for a severance from everyone. they've been asking to be trialed individually. now, the judge denied that, but for the first request that he heard in court. are you saying that what willis wants is everyone who asks for a severance ends up getting tried in one group, and the people who don't ask for a severance and of getting tried in another group? >> right, it gets complicated at this point. i think the best that we can say is the two who have made a speedy trial demands will go to trial in late october. that's not changing. as to the 17, sure they all want to be severed from all of the other defendants. they don't want to hear any more evidence or sit at the table with them. but we sa

d.a., fani willis, once all

is that reason enough for fani willis to say, this is not a road that we should go down? >> it is and the old adage is that a prosecutor can indict a ham sandwich and you don't want half a sandwich and this is what they did with sitting senator, and former senators, and it is not a risk worth it to put a bunch of defendants in a rico case, and put people in there that have folks who are supposed to be on your side or input more readily with the special purpose grand jury, and so they are not so sure that you could prove that. and remember, they have been cross-examined, and no defense case or jury charges of what reasonable doubt is or anything else, but they have voted that they should not be charged, and that has to give you pause, because you don't need half a sandwich after eight months' work. >> and now, lindsey graham specifically, and i don't know if you call it a count in the special grand jury report, but the broad issue that i brought up overturning 2020 election, but it was not specifically for the phone call that lindsey graham made. and now, donald trump, the

plus, a georgia judge says he's skeptical of fani willis. plans to put all of that -- including donald trump on trial next month. i believe, and i will tell you why i think that she knows exactly what she's doing. i'm simone, and i have something to say. we start today with the devastation in morocco, where a powerful earthquake hit late on friday night. at the center of the 6.8 magnitude earthquake, about 36 miles east of marrakech in moroccan highlands, high at less mountain range. it claimed more than 1300 lives, and that number is expected to grow. the scope of the damage is unknown as crews are working to rescue any survivors trapped beneath the rubble. here's nbc news 1400 front matt bradley with more. >> that frenzied rescue effort is underway as the death toll and injury toll increases. it's already sky-high. we have heard in the last couple of hours, the death toll has now received 1000. the injuries have now exceeded 1200. those numbers are likely to increase in the coming hours and days as rescue workers actually take bodies out o

fani willis from office. now, earlier this year the republican controlled legislature passed a law allowing a newly formed commission to investigate and remove any elected prosecutor in the state of georgia. it is called the prosecuting attorney overnight commission. using it to go after d.a. willis in the middle of the very public and high stakes case would be a step so radical that even georgia's republican governor brian kemp is warning against it. but the new commission that theoretically has the power to remove d.a. willis is set to begin its work in the next few weeks unless it's stopped by the courts. four georgia district attorneys have filed a lawsuit arguing the new law establishing this commission is unconstitutional and anti-democratic. one of them joins me now. the district attorney of dekalb county, georgia, right next door to fulton county. madam district attorney, thank you so much for joining me tonight. and there's a lot to talk about in terms of the substance of this law and its decidedly a

district attorney willis also wants the case to move as quickly as possible. the 11th circuit schedule issue today for the expedited appeal is even faster than what district attorney willis specifically requested. the appeals court said that mark meadows appeals brief is due monday, next monday, so terry 18th, with district attorney willis's response brief do exactly one week after that, with mark meadows now getting three more days to reply to the district attorney's brief. and with that schedule, the mark meadows appeal will surely be decided in the month of october, possibly early october. the question posed by the 11th circuit court of appeals surprised everyone yesterday when they asked the lip against to address the question does the statute permit former federal officers to remove state actions to federal court, or does it permit only current federal officers to remove? in all of the discussions we've had on this program prior to the appeals court asking that question, none of us considered that possibility. i think it's fair to say that virtually every

and now, investigating, and possibly threatening to remove fani willis.ive me your thoughts on this, and what this says about the broader republican party? which again, they say that they are investigating the weaponization of the government. and here they, are using the full force that they have as members of congress, and what have you, and other representatives in the state, to go after prosecutors, who happen to be investigating donald trump. >> well, certainly, they have weaponized their positions ask congressman, in this circumstance, there's no question about it. and let's be really clear, jim jordan is not a serious leader. and, the destruction that he is trying to wreak on the american system, through his position, it is courtesy of kevin mccarthy, and the deals that he made to become speaker of the house to begin with. but what jim jordan is doing is clearly the definition of weaponizing government, to go after your personal or political enemies. what's happening with the republican party right now is something that i barely recognize, if it had

willis responded to his demands for documents related to her case. d.a. willis did not mince words. she called it an unjustified and illegal intrusion. she said mr. jordan was flagrantly at odds with the constitution and also lacked a basic understanding of the law and its practice. instead of her investigation she suggested mr. jordan train his attention and that of the justice department on the threats her office has received. by way of proof ms. willis attached example of racist and anti-semitic and violent threats she has received including the fan-fiction-style submission of willis being shot at her home by someone disguised as a postal worker. it says in part the postal worker assailant throws the box to the ground to reveal a small plastic pistol and silencer. fani t. willis painfully crawls bleeding inside the house. this vile submission continues in gruesome detail, but you get the point. now, this is not the first time fani willis or citizens associated with this case have been threatened, and the d.a. is not the only black woman prosecuting donald trump has become a targe

the idea that we are going to celebrate brian kemp, for not firing fani willis. we are in end times here. yes, good for him for doing his job. and not politicizing the office. we can think of a lot of republican governors who would have taken this opportunity to go full mega and totally flipped the rule of law. the reason why brian kemp is there is because he was supported by people who said, you know, you standing up to trump's okay. he was able to sort of find his way through the maga world, and get reelected. so he knows the people were keeping him in that office. and he also knows he's in a purple state. this is not necessarily. he knows he could theoretically lose. they have two blue senators there. so i wouldn't reward his bravery, but it is nice to know that there's a little -- there are a few republicans who are not willing to completely burn the whole house down. >> i want to say, to your point, the fact that we have to praise brian kemp for not firing a prosecutor shows you just how far down the road we have gone with this republican party. that it's al

this worked for jim jordan and fani willis. both welcome. >> we have some breaking news that i want to discuss here. that is nancy pelosi, the speaker amerit ta who are is still a member of congress, announced in congress she's going to run for yet another term to be a rank and file member of the house. manu, you have been covering her for a long time. does this surprise you? >> a little bit. she loves a fight. she loves to be in the middle of it. she settled into her role as a rank and file member of the house after being the leader and speak heer of the house for two decades. she's 83 years old. so there's probably some expect aation that perhaps it's time for her to move on. there's been a succession behind the scenes to replace her, potentially by her own daughter. but pelosi is enjoying this moment and believes democrats can get back in the majority next cycle. she's making clear she's not going anywhere. >> it has been really interesting to see that the transformation for her, it's like a weight has kind of lifted off of

fani willis.ould be a concern, for everyone, especially when that commission has power on october 1st -- and we know that this trial is slated to begin -- with at least some defendants on october 23rd. so, the idea that anybody can bring a complaint and try to thwart d.a. willis from doing her job in the middle of a major prosecution should be troubling to everyone. >> yeah. and it is worth noting that many of the people who sit on this commission are former d.a. 's themselves. i am sure you know who they are. we do not. perhaps there is some hope that because they d.a. are's themselves, they will recognize the importance of prosecutorial to independents here. who can know? what is your expectation for the lawsuit? you're asking for an injunction while this case works its way through the courts. what is your expectation? >> absolutely. we filed this lawsuit and we filed the injunction a few weeks ago because we absolutely believe that harm can come to a number of d.a.'s before we've had an opportu

fani willis. we heard that in court two days ago when we were there dealing with whether or not we were going to have a severance of kenneth chesebro from sidney powell and the other defendants of the 150 witnesses, you see some of them here now. is lindsey graham going to be called to testify by the state of georgia against donald trump if this goes to trial, when it goes to trial? these are the questions that remain a little bit unanswered and we now have a little bit more elimination as we sit here right now. >> there are so many different aspects with it, state and in the case you're mentioning, national implications. i'm wondering what are you seeing that stands out to you in this very, very specific series of indictments? >> well, jose, i want to underline the headline for our viewers and make sure it doesn't get lost. a special grand jury recommended criminal charges against one current and two former u.s. senators in connection with their alleged actions to try to overturn the 2020 electio

fani willis is his having none of it. and is standing firm in her request to have all 19 defendants tried together. in a court filing on tuesday, willis asked judge mcafee to clarify the trial schedule in writing, quote, the state maintains its position that severance is improper at an absolute minimum, the court should set defendant powell's trial and that of another defendant who may file a speedy trial demand on the same date as defendant chesebro. as of now, it remains unclear whether the other defendants would be tried on that same date. but as willis worked to keep her case intact, she is also facing attacks from trump and his allies within the georgia gop. state senator, colton moore, has been pushing for impeachment, calling for an emergency session to, quote, review the actions of fani willis. an idea that trump appraised on his failed social media site. this week, that idea was quashed by none other than fellow republican georgia governor, brian kemp. here is what he said at a press conference on thursday. >> i

willis? but there's also, as much as trump wanted to, and obviously there's noise about it, there's another factor. there is something different about the upper echelon of georgia republican officials. it's not that they are necessarily different in principle or character. what is different and that is that they understand that they represent an emerging purple state. they understand that donald trump is a political albatross around their necks who in a cold, calculating sense, hurts their chances of winning majorities among swing voters. they have seen this brute fact inaction over and over and over again. >> in the state of georgia, where there is currently a hand recount being done, joe biden is the apparent winner. again, joe biden, the apparent winner in georgia. >> nbc news now projects raphael warnock as the winner in the special georgia senate election tonight. >> nbc news now projecting that john ossoff, a democrat, will win the senate runoff in the state of georgia, and that leaves

the request of fani willis was granted, to keep the names of the jurors secret. the jurors would likely be doxed if their identities were publicly available supporters of former president trump posted the names and addresses of grand jury members. sidney powell and kenneth chesebro will be the first to go to trial in october. >>> the gop frontrunner is running for a government shutdown, posting on truth social sunday, former president trump calmed on tled on the mem his party to shut everything down unless they get everything they ask for this aligns him with the far-right members of his party in congress who are refusing to budge on passing spending bills unless deeper cuts are made. house speaker kevin mccarthy, who has attempted to unite his caucus on keeping the government open said monday congress is much stronger when we stay open. >> with that potential shutdown just days away, there's been very little progress in congress to force a stopgap spending bill garrett hake has more. >> reporter: at a washington warehouse, volunteers are preparing for the practi

fani willis decline to indictment them? what made trump loyalists like michael flynn and boris epstein less prosecutable than mark meadows and rudy giuliani? we're going to get into the potential problems d.a. willis might have identified and what these almost co-defendants are saying for themselves. senator graham just spoke with reporters. there's also news about another lawsuit, this one trying to keep donald trump off the ballot in colorado. we're going to have more on that in a moment. >>> let us start once again with georgia. joining us is nbc news justice and intelligence correspondent ken dilanian. nbc news correspondent vaughn hillyard who's in rapid city, south dakota, where donald trump is holding a rally tonight. and "atlanta journal constitution" reporter greg blue stein along with legal analyst lisa rubin. let us starts with the would-bes here. senator lindsey graham is clearly the headline, ken dilanian, that he was somebody they considered potentially bringing charges against. remind us what lindsey graham h

but district tierney willis had a simple answer. no. she argues that not only where the actions of mark meadows listed in her a night with outside the scope of his official duties, d.a. willis says his actions must be viewed in the context of the conspiracy instead of just one over overt act writing, quote, the defendant conspired not for any purpose related to his duties as chief of staff, but to transform mr. trump from a losing political candidate into a winning one, no matter what the like outcome of the election had actually been. a finding that as part of that conspiracy, the defendant may have committed one or even several acts that fell within the color of his office would not demonstrate that he was being prosecuted for an act for or related to his office. d.a. willis also notice that mark meadows has been forced to admit under oath that he did play a role in coordinating the fake electors scheme and her previously testifying that he did not. in response to that, leading former defense department special counsel ryan goodman sa

the subject of willie cather's work is known to us.he daughter of red cloud, nebraska, to give a voice to the people she knew. the pioneers of the american frontier. her characters and settings were written with such depth and emotion. they still captivate readers to this day. as the nobel prize-winning writer sinclair lewis later said, the united states knows nebraska because of willa cather's books. and today, congress will always know her because of this statue as well. that is a legacy worth celebrating, one that reminds us that america is a nation of pioneers. in her novels and short stories, cather portrayed a band of pioneers on the nebraska plains who took responsibility for their lives in their own futures. she wrote in one of her novels, there was nothing but land, not a country at all, but the material out of which countries are made. cather knew that pioneers seized these materials and they built on it. pioneers have a vision of a better life beyond the immediate world are they currently live. pioneers are risktakers who ha

willis. she oppose the bill on february saying quote, i'm tired and i'm just going to call it how i see it. i quite frankly think the legislation is racist. i don't know what other thing to call it. for georgia district attorneys, willis not included, have sued to block the panels establishments supported by the public rights project. they argue that to the governor and the legislature cannot dictate prosecution rules because the georgia constitution places district attorneys in the state's judicial branch making the law violate the constitutional separation of powers. and that the mandates to examine low level offenses also distracts prosecutors for more serious crimes. jill hey big joins me now. she is the founder and president of the public rights project which is leading the charge to stop s t 92 from taking effect. jill, it is good to see you. can you tell us where the challenge stands right now? >> yes. so, the public rights project is representing bipartisan coalition industry to chine

>> they're huge, willie.ese election lies. >> yes. >> really the most egregious we've seen. we could see the racist overtones in the allegations made against these women. judge howell here in washington, d.c., just decided rudy giuliani was playing games with the process. he was refusing to engage in what's known as civil discovery, where someone sues you, the judge rules the suit is legitimate, and you have to turn over documents, including secret financial documents, and he wouldn't do it. she gave him extension after extension. finally, she imposed the ultimate penalty, which is she entered a judgment saying that he was essentially liable for defamation, for civil conspiracy, and for punitive damages. there were a couple interesting lines in her ruling that i wanted to read to you. she said, "just as taking shortcuts to win an election carries risks, even potential criminal liable, bypassing the discovery process carries serious sanctions." she also said, "donning a cloak of victimization may play well on

fani willis is an independent state prosecutor.her indictment of donald trump and 18 alleged coconspirators is a state level racketeering and conspiracy charge. but that reality has not stopped republicans in congress from getting involved. after willis's criminal indictment was issued, the chair of the house judiciary committee, congressman jim jordan, launched an investigation into her investigation. and, well, today d. a. willis responded to his demands for documents related to her case. d. a. willis did not mince words. she called it an unjustified and illegal intrusion. she said mr. jordan was flagrantly at odds with the constitution and also lacked a basic understanding of the law and it's practice. instead of her investigation she suggested mr. jordan train his attention, and that of the justice department, on the threats her office has received. by way of proof, missiles attached examples of racist and antisemitic and violent threats she has received, including the fan fiction style submission of willis being shot undertone

district attorney willis's letter starts off being relatively polite about jim jordan's lying, saying, your letter contains inaccurate information and misleading statements. on page two, she warmed up a bit, saying your attempt to invoke congressional authority to intrude upon an interfere with an active criminal case in georgia is flagrantly at odds with the constitution. the defendants in this case have been charged under state law with committing state crimes. there is absolutely no support for congress purporting to second guess or somehow supervise an ongoing challenge of criminal investigation and prosecution. your public statements and your letter itself make clear that you lack any legitimate legislative purpose for that inquiry. your job description as a legislator does not include criminal law enforcement, nor does it include supervising a specific criminal trial because you believe that doing so we'll promote you are partisan political legit objectives. chairman jordan, i tell people often, deal with reality or dallas reality was deal with you. it is time that you deal with

but fani willis did not indict 21 people that the grand jury recommended charges against. several of those beamed are fake electors. but the list of names, again, the grand jury just sort of average citizens, grafted into this process, heard testimony, went through, it came up with what they thought should happen. a list of names is truly astounding. it basically includes a who's who of trump's inner circle. so listen kloots current sitting republican south carolina senator lindsey graham, former republican georgia senator david perdue and kelly loeffler. they were in power during the election and in the effort to overturn. it national security advisor for dame front for a few weeks, michael flynn, tamp trump aide boris epshteyn, georgia lieutenant governor bert jones, and trump clue lawyer cleta mitchell. again, not some random fringe people or some bizarre extreme assemblers. some of these guys before they were conspiracy theorists they were a respected established people in the republican party. a few of them still are. a special grand jury recommended that they be char

and this week, day willis had a skating reply. in a nine-page response to jordan, she wrote, quote, your attempt to invoke congressional authority is flagrantly at odds with the constitution. your letter makes clear that you lack a basic understanding of the law, it's practice, and the ethical obligations of attorneys, generally and prosecutors and specifically, she even had perhaps my favorite part, a tip for the congressman quote for a more thorough understanding of georgia's r.i.c.o. statute, i encourage you to read r.i.c.o. state by state. as a non member of the bar you can purchase a copy for $249. joining me now is democratic congressman, a dan goldman, of new york and before getting into congress he was an assistant u.s. attorney in the southern district of new york. congressman, thank you so much for joining here this afternoon. so, i wanted to start with your view on this and it is great to see you i want to start with your view on this letter. i'm sure you read fani willis's response, would you think of her response to j

willis's investigation.you really saw the scope of that investigation, who they were looking at and really with these 39 with it -- these 39 recommended indictments, it showed that the special grand jury had a much broader scope than what the actual grand jury that was handing down the indictments did. of course, we now know that only 19 people were actually indicted. so the potential was actually far greater based on the scope of the initial investigation by the special grand jury, bill. >> dana: jonathan, it's dana. i had a question how this is such a national news story. we are breaking into programming and we will make our viewers get a chance to understand this. i'm curious about in georgia and in atlanta itself, is this a big story there or something that is sort of on the periphery? >> you know, quite honestly, when we began covering this, we weren't sure what to expect. would there be massive protests, would things be relatively quiet? it has been relatively quiet. in fact, during all these prelimina

has fani willis alerted her to the speedy trial schedule that is coming up.course, she just wouldn't answer those questions, very carefully, stayed away from answering those questions. but when you see that testimony we are she can testify to donald trump saying, i don't want people to know we lost. this is embarrassing, and saying it to mark meadows, it's just hard to imagine her not being a witness in both the georgia case in the washington case. >> you know, lawrence, i think that's right. her testimony against mark meadows in particular is a very strong, and very compelling. whether it is admissible against other defendants i think is an interesting question, and sometimes in cases like this you do have situations where testimony is admissible against one defendant but not others. that is why you can get into a complicated situation and conspiracies where defendants are successful in separating cases. so, it remains to be seen how that shakes out here. but what i thought was very interesting in your interview last night was the way she did sort of clam up

that brings us to the second move today by willis this afternoon. the d.a. rebuffed house judiciary committee chairman jim jordan's request for documents, part of his attempt to investigate fani willis in a scathing letter, willis says jordan lacks a basic understanding of the law. it reads in part, chairman jordan, i tell people often, deal with reality or reality will deal with you. it is time that you deal with some basic realities. a special purpose grand jury made up of everyday citizens investigated for ten months and made recommendations to me. a further reality is that a grand jury of completely different fulton county citizens found probable cause against the defendants named in the indictment for rico violations and various other felonies. face this reality, chairman jordan, the select group of defendants who you fret over in my jurisdiction are like every other defendant, entitled to no worse or better treatment than any other american citizen. fani willis taking steps to protect her criminal case into the trump coup plot is where we begin with so

and fani willis as prosecutors did their rebuttal. meadows argument was very, very broad in terms of what qualified as part of his official duties. he ended up arguing at the end of the day that anything capable of distracting president trump from his official duties was part of meadows's official duties to combat or nip in the bud. you can imagine with somebody like former president trump that things that could be distracting to him could pretty much be almost anything in the world. you know, anything insulting him as we know, it tends to drive him crazy. that would become an official duty of mark meadows to respond to that. it was a broad lay down from meadows inside. you're right in pointing to the crucial question here. in the ruling, the judge said he thought the charges did not involve what was at the heart of meadows's official duties. i think as this goes up on appeal, that will be the key question. was there any part of the indictment that was part of meadows is arguable official duties. i bet you will see appeals court judge
