>> reporter: yasmin, good afternoon. yes, so after several days of giuliani speaking about this and reacting to this and even teasing that he would have a press conference in wehawken yesterday, which did not happen, the giuliani camp is remaining quiet about these warrants. we learned there were three separate warrants that were issued. one for electronics here at giuliani's home, another for electronics in his office, which included his secretary's computer and a third for victoria toensing's electronics. she is not necessarily a focus or subject of this investigation and she was willing to cooperate ahead of time to provide any information that they had needed. now, her name does, though, appear on a list of names that are on the search warrant. this is a fairly extensive list of people who may or may not have come in contact with giuliani that he may have sought out regarding ukraine and ambassador marie yovanovitch. along with this extensive list, included are lev parnas, igor fruman. hopefully you have the list up

yasmin?i can't imagine as a mother watching the video of your son die that way. i watched all the video in full. it's incredibly disturbing to see and quite frankly, really hard to watch. priscilla thompson in monroe, louisiana. thank you, priscilla. >>> we're going to talk about this. the greene family attorney, ron haley, is going to be there talking about how they're coping with the video's release and the steps they're going to take to get justice. >>> also in minnesota, police are searching for suspects in a shooting in downtown minneapolis that left two people dead and eight wounded. it happened early this morning at the monarch nightclub. police are saying they drove up on an exceptionally chaotic scene. the shooting reportedly stemmed from an argument between two men in the crowd. we're going to continue to follow this. any updates we have, we'll bring it to you. >>> we also have some new reaction this afternoon from someone who used to be in donald trump's inner circle. when it comes

yasmin? >> so, just quickly here, kelly, how are some top republicans reacting to this huge number? >> reporter: well, they are saying it's a nonstarter, and that it risks putting more deficit. now, you've got to say, well, republicans certainly have spent money when president trump was in charge, and they were in charge of the senate, and so it's a predictable back and forth. it is an ambitious number, the white house knows that, but they've been doing that in the months of the biden administration, coming out with a big plan that they think covers the concerns and the issues they want, knowing it will likely be dialed back, even with some democrats who are more conservative on the spectrum of the political sort of landscape as we see it today. so, there will be pushback. this is one of those points where, really for president biden, he would like to see bipartisanship on infrastructure in order to be able to say that some governing really happened and that something where both parties and,

yasmin?raf, there have been, as you well know, rising tensions for weeks over possible evictions of palestinians and specifically east jerusalem. where do things stand with that right now? >> reporter: yeah, all eyes on the east jerusalem neighborhood, israeli settlers have been trying to get palestinian families evicted from their homes in that area for years. our team on the ground in jerusalem spoke to one palestinian man, he's 59 years old. his family has been fighting to hold on to their home since he was 10. take a listen to what he had to say. >> i leave this house, as i told you, i was born in this house. all my life is here. i love the house. i love jerusalem. i can't imagine to leave this house and to stay in another place, even in jerusalem itself. >> reporter: now, israeli settlers argue before the courts that this land used to belong to jewish groups before 1948, before the founding of the state of israel, so they have the right to reclaim it. palestinian families strongly reject

yasmin? >> hey, kelly, while i have you, just quickly here, talk to me about this impending meeting between russian president vladimir putin and president biden and the possibility and/or the assurances, of course, that the russian cyber attack is going to be talked about. what type of impact is that going to have on the meeting? >> reporter: well, this is certainly going to be a major highlight of foreign policy when president biden and vladimir putin meet next month, just a few weeks away. part of the president's first overseas trip where he'll be stopping in the united kingdom and in belgium for the nato conference and then meeting with vladimir putin. there have certainly been key issues that are raising tensions and causing problems related to that relationship. president biden says he wants to have the meeting because he wants the u.s./russia relationship to be steady and predictable, and things like the cyber attacks complicate that. some would argue it might even be a testing that the

i'm yasmin vossoughian. the gop right now is a rogues gallery of bad actors facing potential consequences for their actions. congressman matt gaetz trying to joke his way through a scandal that includes a hearing tomorrow for a party buddy who's about to become a cooperating witness for the feds. calls for an ethics investigation for representative marjorie taylor greene after her confrontation with aoc. and an effort to censure a croup of republican congressmen trying to whitewash the january 6 capitol hill riot as the party tries to figure out its way forward, truth or trump. the two square off on sunday shows along with some of their republican counterparts. watch this. >> we have a unified message that resonates with the american people across the country. republicans are unified. >> what does it say about the party choosing somebody to replace you who was effectively chosen by donald trump. >> i think it's dangerous. i think that we have to recognize how quickly things can unravel. we have to recognize

there's two things that i'm struck by here, though, yasmin. first is that trump allies like roger stone have been more effusive in their support of congressman gaetz than former donald trump himself. we haven't heard trump talk about this in weeks, but when we did first hear him respond to it, it was first to knock down the idea that he had ever been asked directly about a pardon for gaetz by gaetz. but the second part of that statement was just to simply say, reminding people that gaetz has denied these claims. as far as trump's defense standards go, that's a pretty tepid defense, and i'm struck by someone who has been such a staunch ally for the former president not getting more of the trump treatment in regards to having the former president stand so staunchly behind him. but the other thing i'm struck by here is just how long this has gone on. the continued drip, drip. it's been more than a month since we heard about this initial federal probe beginning into alleged sex trafficking on behalf of matt gaetz, but the continuation of gaetz bei

anthony fauci emphasized the fact with my msnbc colleague, yasmin vossoughian. >> -- i wouldn't declare victory yet. i have no trouble at all with people anticipating that we're going in the right direction, and if we do certain things, get vaccinated, continue to follow public health measures, we may be where they want to be by july 1st. but i hope that doesn't get people to pull back on the kinds of things that they should be doing. >> the united states may be nearing a major turning point in the fight against covid-19, but before that time comes, president biden wants congress to address the epidemic that is racial inequality and police violence. biden urged congress to pass the george floyd justice in policing act and getting to him by the one-year anniversary of floyd's death. that negotiation stalled in the senate. as far as accountability for the actual murder, court documents show minnesota attorney general keith ellison is seeking a harsh sentence for derek chauvin due to the cruelty he demonstrated when he killed floyd. he faces up to 40 years in prison on second degree uninte

could i get your reaction to barbara res, former executive vp of the trump organization and spoke to yasminan how she thinks donald trump will be reacting and feeling about this investigation. watch. >> probably i think he's incensed. i think he is outraged and incredulous this could happen and that it's proceeded so far and why hasn't this been stopped by the people he put in place to do that kind of thing. obviously he doesn't have barr anymore, so he can't use that. but he has all these people that infiltrated all over the different agencies. he probably didn't think this was going to happen. >> is he the type of man who would give up his kids to save himself, barbara? >> you know, if you asked me that 30 years ago i would have said no. i have such a hard time believing anyone could do that that it makes me hesitant to say that, but yeah. yeah. >> what do you make of that? >> well, we have seen enough of donald trump to know that loyalty for him is a one-way street. he demands loyalty and gives none to others. but i will tell you something from a prosecutor's perspective and that is coop
