prosecutors in new york and also in the state of georgia. his business interests is under civil investigations by the new york attorney general. cnn received a statement from the new york attorney general's office saying this, we have informed the trump organization that our investigation is no longer purely civil in nature. we are actively investigating in a criminal capacity along with the manhattan da, who's already investigating them. that's not confirmed right now by msnbc but that is cnn's reporting. that's another historic benchmark of post presidency for the former president. that'll do its for us for now. it is time for "the last word now" with lawrence o'donnel. >> good evening, linda zang is amazing to turn the f 150 to len len -- electric. >> to have linda zang the ford engineer to do this and letting her have that moment to tell us how it all happen was wonderful to see. >> oh, thank you. i am a car person, i am obsessed with this stuff and every detail that they revealed today and the weight of the battery and the chassy that si

in new york state, the investigation concerns multiple allegations of business and financial fraud. tate of georgia, the criminal investigations of the former president concerns potentially illegal election interference by the former president. tonight, that same prosecutor's office in georgia, state prosecutors in georgia have brought just a battleship of an indictment against the 22-year-old defendant who is charged with killing eight people at three different atlanta-area day spas a few weeks ago, in march. this indictment today alleges that the defendant chose his victims in part on the basis of their sex and race. so hate crimes charges have been brought against him. you may recall that of the eight people he is alleged to have killed, seven of the eight were women, six of the seven women killed were of asian descent. prosecutors are going to seek the death penalty against him with these enhanced hate crime charges layered on top of multiple murder counts. again, this is not the federal justice department. these are state charges brought by state prosecutors in georgia. all the

and a regular grand jury, one called by state prosecutors in new york, they usually state for about four weeks. they are convened one or maybe two days per week for four weeks. and, you know, any charges that state prosecutors want to bring against anybody during that time, any indictments they want to seek they bring that evidence and those witnesses to the grand jury, and the grand jury, during the normal course of events in new york, they meet over the course of four weeks, and they take case after case after case, one after another, making a decision in each instance as to whether a person is going to be indicted, whether criminal charges are going to be issued. well, in this new reporting about potential criminal charges for former president trump, they're talking about a variation on that grand jury structure. it's what they call an extra grand jury or a special grand jury. "the washington post" initial report tonight says that the special grand jury in the trump case will be convened to meet not for the usual four weeks, but for six months. and this special grand jury is not going

the new york state attorney general's office says it is now conducting a criminal investigation into mr. trump's business empire. a spokesperson for attorney general letitia james says the office informed the trump organization it is expanding what had been a civil investigation. it is working with the manhattan district attorney who has been conducting a criminal probe into mr. trump and his company for two years. the state investigation is looking into whether the trump organization falsely reported property values to secure loans and obtain economic and tax benefits. so far, no comment from the trump organization. >>> our other top story now -- the deadly shooting of andrew brown jr. a north carolina prosecutor will not charge sheriff's deputies who opened fire on the 42-year-old black man. for the first time, the public saw portions of body camera footage showing what happened last month. brown's family called it an execution, and there are calls for the justice department to get involved. jeff pegues has more, but a warning, some of the video might be tough to watch. >> reporter

>> my hunch is he is more in danger in the new york state investigation than he is in the civil casecase in d.c. has to do with whether or not the presidential inaugural committee overcharged for hotel rooms and other things so that the trump group, org, rico, whatever they are, could make more money than was necessary. i guess there is layers in the decision-making, but they are not the same number of layers when it comes to the taxes and the other fraud issues in new york state. my sense is he in much more danger in new york state than d.c. >> thank you guys both. >>> a century later, tulsa, oklahoma, reeling from one of the more violent acts of racial terror in u.s. history. >> this memorial day long weekend marks the 100th anniversary of the tulsa massacre, an attack that decimated one of the most thriving black communities in america at the time. we will head to that city next. you're watching msnbc.

prosecutors and there is a warrant out for his arrest in new york state, maybe the republican governor of florida would have, what? did trump? shield him from extradition? like he's a hijacker hiding out in tehran, or something? that was a remarkable thing that jane might raised the prospect of eight weeks ago in the new yorker. apparently, yes, that's a thing! that's happening. i mean, they are at least working on. political.com picked up the storyline and ran with it and in terms of it being a thing in trump world they are working on, the naughty problem of how to shield him from extradition, you know, one season guided. there is an arrest warrant for him. apparently, they expect that's on its way. here is politico's warning today, all caps. scoop! palm beach makes contingency plans in case trump is indicted. law enforcement officials in palm beach county florida actively prepared for the possibility in your cross accusers could indict former president donald trump while he's at mar-a-lago. according to high-ranking county officials involved in planning sessions. among the topics dis

this is new york city and state. are there any limits on their scope or powers? can they prosecute for good reason anybody for anything at any time? >> they've got to be crimes, of course. but the new york attorney general, the state prosecutor is involved is very significant for two reasons. number one, before this, this was largely fought by the manhattan d.a., cy vance, who is retiring. second, more importantly, the new york prosecutors, the state prosecutors, have a suite of powers, which is just about the most extensive, anti-fraud criminal law of any state in the country. it gives them sweeping powers. so what this means in practical terms is that prosecutors are going to do everything they can with their new powers to flip various people in the trump organization. we've already had many reports that the cfo, allen wiseleberg, has been the subject of those flips. they've even gone after his family and kids, and indeed, jennifer wiseleberg at one point said "they, the trump organization, control people by compensaing you." so already someone has come forward

a warrant out for his arrest in new york state, maybe the republican governor of florida would, what, like hide trump? shield him from extradition like he's an international hijacker hiding out in tehran or something? well, apparently yes, that's a thing. that's happening. i mean, they're at least working on it. politico.com today picked up this story line and run with it and it turns out this is a thing in trump world that they are working on. the naughty problem of how to shield him from extradition, you know, once he's indicted. and there's an arrest warrant for him. because apparently they expect that's on its way. here's politico's reporting today -- call caps, scoop. palm beach makes contingency plans in case trump is indicted. law enforcement officials have actively prepared for the possibility that new york prosecutors could indict former president donald trump while he's at mar-a-lago according to two high ranking county officials involved in planning sessions. among the topics discussed in those meetings -- because they're having meetings about it -- quote, how to handle th

by by the new york state attorney general and the that's where we are today. they're looking at this paper that paperwork. they've hired a forensic expert. they're they're at a stage right now where they believe this could lead to criminal charges. >> as michael yaki said, this could bring those criminal charges against the former president and it could be about 6 months before we learned of the decision. a spokesperson for trump and attorney for the trump organization did not respond to requests for comment. according to the washington post. that's the latest. >> all right. can appreciate that. now we're going to switch gears and talk about the 4 zone forecast our kron four's a chief meteorologist lawrence karnow here to talk what the show us what we can expect. yeah. we're going to see a major heat up on the horizon years. high pressure really kind of takes over that ridge building in just in time, almost like on cue for the holiday weekend. the unofficial beginning. >> of summer outside tonight, mostly clear skies looking toward sfo. not much in the way of

the situation at the moment, what we do know is that the new york state attorney general did announceweek that they had moved from a civil investigation into the trump organization's tax dealings into a criminal one. we know, too, that the investigation being conducted by the district attorney in new york is now working in alliance with the new york state attorney general. things have been ramping up considerably in recent weeks, and now the information that i grand jury has been subpoenaed does indicate come -- a grand jury has been subpoenaed does indicate to many experts that criminal charges are being contemplated. i must stress again it is not known at this stage whether these are criminal charges against donald trump, his organization, or somebody close to donald trump, but very clearly, this investigation has now ratcheted up a significant amount, raising the real possibility of criminal charges at some stage being brought in the coming future in one of the cases that various legal entities in new york are investigating and have been investigating. lauren: thank you very much.

so, as gary mentioned, there there are two investigations in the state of new york.ships with him — to keep quiet, ahead of the 2016 presidential election. mr trump�*s lawyer michael cohen was sentenced to three years in jail over arranging this. he says he was directed to by mr trump. mr trump hasn�*t been charged. the trump organisation is also being investigated over whether it falsified business records related to the payoffs. the manhattan district attorney cyrus vance has demanded to see years of financial records, including eight years of mr trump�*s tax returns, in connection with allegations of possible insurance and bank fraud. three separate civil lawsuits allege that mr trump did not seek consent before accepting benefits from foreign states. one cites the hosting of foreign officials at the trump international hotel in washington dc as a possible violation. mr trump�*s niece accuses him and two of his siblings of cheating her out of an inheritance while pressuring her to give up interests in the family business. mr trump denies all of the allegations as

how can new york state reach into another jurisdiction? trump is a florida man now, having left new york behind. into how does that work? it works pretty simply. because the constitution itself has said if you commit a crime, you go to another state, that other state is obligated to turn you over in 1793, congress passed a law affecting that. governor desantis i know who's been addition-ing in trying to beat trump's guy. trump tried to float the idea that desantis will be his vice president 2020, for that's beyond me why it's attractive for anyone. in any event, that's with desantis is signaling. if the governor was to protect donald trump >> -- we have a formal -- of him. it will be stuck in court every day. >> a.b., trump is still going to be there north star come wednesday morning. how long can the party exist without ideas, dots, policies, and initiatives of its own? >> they are not as unified as the commentary would lead you to believe. that liz cheney and adam kings in government romney are long and alone on that bloody boat. it's int

i'm from new york state, new york city to be exact. there's 956,952 in new york state. can assure you they are not upstate and growing apples and cheese. as you go across the country there are spots but each one of the spikes is predictable. in some cases, for instance, here, south dakota, or wyoming, i can assure you there are more chinese people on this block state of south dakota or wyoming. the numbers stay small until you reach california and the bay area, specifically the bay area. why? because you can go to the interior. you'll discover once again there's very few asians in general. chinese are very, very few, but the bay area fulfills the requirements. it is not only traditionally an arrival point, but it has a very, very important economic component which is? silicon valley. we are in tech land. tech land is everything north of san jose and south of san francisco. people come from all over the world to work in silicon valley. the larger portion of the chinese-american community still lives in an immigrant experience because everybody has just arrived in the las

the report says this 6 month time frame would be longer than a traditional new york state grand jury assignment. but again, this could bring criminal charges against the former president. not a normal case whatsoever. manhattan's dia says it's office has been investigating trump for about 2 years now. and earlier tonight we spoke with our political analyst, also an attorney michael yaki. we asked him about what would be the best and worst case scenarios for trump. well, i mean, again, you know, that's we heard. >> then in a case where former president has been dyed. we've had a but. vice president indicted and tried. but we had a former president. i'm sure there's going to be a lot of very interesting legal theories being advanced in terms of when this occurred or why this occurred or which would immunity may have. but it's centrally. most of this occurred outside when he was president. so he is there standing as any other ordinary subject to subpoena such discovery subject to testimony from others. it's going to be up to the grand jury and the prosecution to decide whether or not hi

new york state following other states as they enact the new cdc guidelines, vaccinated americans can go without masks indoors and outdoors. but across the country tonight, the flash points. the tense moments over masks. and today, the cdc director pressed on capitol hill about the new mask guidance. how she answered. >>> all eyes on the hill tonight. will they work together to get answers? lawmakers voting on whether to create a 9/11-style commission to investigate the deadly attack on the capitol, to try to prevent it from ever happening again. today, mitch mcconnell joining kevin mccarthy and pressuring republicans to vote no. and the congressman who just days ago compared the insurrection to a capitol tour, a visit. tonight, the image emerging of that same congressman trying to help barricade the capitol for safety. >>> the pressure mounting on former president trump and the trump organization. new york's attorney general overnight revealing that their probe is also now a criminal one. so, what does this mean? tonight, the former president responding and jon karl with late reporti

it is happening all across new york state. ning in buffalo, happening in syracuse, happening in albany. those spikes are out there. we focus on new york city because it's the biggest city in the state and one of the big nest the country. also happening across the country. why not run for mayor? i ended my time in the white house january 20th. it's a short amount of time to get ready for a mayoral primary, which is happening in june. two very good candidates in there that will ultimately battle it out. so why run for governor? i really believe in looking at the numbers that we can win. we can make up the difference in a blue state. there was a guy about 30 years ago that appealed to democratic new yorkers. his name was guliani. that's what it was. >> martha: only two republican governors in the history of new york state, rockefeller and pataki and you want to add your name to that list. we look forward for covering the campaign. thanks and come back soon. >> martha, thanks a lot. if you want to fight, go to nyguliani.com. thanks

by by the new york state attorney general and the that's where we are today. they're looking at this paper that paperwork. they've hired a forensic expert. they're they're at a stage right now where they believe this could lead to criminal charges. >> so in addition to those tax returns of the president's this case is exploring matters related to hush money payments. how the trump organization valued its properties paid its employees. also under scrutiny trump's relationship with his lenders. a land donation he made to qualify for an income tax deduction will be examined and tax write offs is company claimed on millions of dollars in consulting fees. it pate as michael yaki said, today's development brings us one step closer to the potential for criminal charges against former president trump and it could be about 6 months before we learned of a decision, a spokesman for the president, -he former president as well as attorney for the trump organization did not respond to requests for comment today. according to the post's reporting can catherine for now. we'll

new york businesses are thinking about leaving the state, individuals are leaving the state. ups that worries that if these taxes -- the s.a.l.t. deduction doesn't get reinstated, it's going the make the situation worse. there'll be an increased exodus out of the state, particularly of high earners and businesses that will deplete the state's tax base. they've recently met with chuck schumer's office, they're going to meet with others. they're talking with a gentleman by the name, a representative, congressman from rockland county, who's going to sponsor a bill to bereinstall the s.a.l.t. tax deduction. all of this is coming to a held, from what i understand, at least the movement on it is. here's the interesting thing, lizment of this is going to be a very difficult thing to do each through a democrat congress, controlled congress. and here's why. chuck schumer, you know, if he had his own way, he would reinstate it tomorrow. the problem is that the s.a.l.t. deduction is being opposed by left-wing progressives like aoc, alexandria ocasio-cortez, the congresswoman from the bro

there's 576,952 chinese in new york state. well, i can assure you they are not upstate growing apples and making cheese. as you go across the country. the numbers get smaller and smaller there are spikes but each one of these spikes are predictable as a matter of fact in some cases for instance here, south dakota or wyoming i can assure you. there are more chinese people on this block than there are in the entire state of south dakota or wyoming. the number stays small until you reach. california and the bay area specifically the bay area why because you can go to the interior you'll discover. once again, there are very few asians in general specifically. china is a very very few but the bay area for fills the requirements it is not only traditionally in arrival point. but it has a very very important economic component, which is kitchen silicon valley we are in techland techland. is everything north of san jose and south of san francisco. people come from all over the world. to work in silicon valley the larger portion of the

state and local tax deduction known as the s.a.l.t. deduction reinestated seemed to be making progress. democratic lawmakers from new yorkrlie gasparino. boy, i'd love to see the cap lifted on the state and local deduction. >> if you're going to talk to people right now, today -- when i say people, i mean the big banks, the global, the lobbyists that work with the big banks that were monitoring the situation and others, they think there's a good chance this is going to happen, there's going to be at least a compromise, cap raised to $30,000 as opposed to 10 or maybe get rid of it altogether. what we are seeing, at least according to business groups that are really pushing for this, business groups in new york who believe that not raising that cap or getting rid of it and not a reinstatement of s.a.l.t. is going to lead to a massive population drain of rich people that are essentially the tax base of new york from new york state and other states as well with the same situation. we're talking about connecticut, to a lesser extends. what they're telling me, and i'm getting this people close to some of these business groups,
