Trumps social media, they say, pointing to a post that says if you go after me, im coming after you. That was friday night in the filing. Since then, donald trump has repeatedly attacked jack smith, said nancy pelosi is going to hell and claimed mike pence is lying in his sworn testimony, that hes gone to the dark side. Trumps lawyers did the Full Ginsberg, or his lawyer, singular on sunday, arguing the january 6th charges are bunk, that donald trump was exercising his free speech. Will he use that same defense in arguing against the protective order. Donald trump used that, the response is due today at five, well explore it. Were also watching georgia where d. A. Fani willis is indicating a big decision is coming any moment. Not to mention florida where something could be brewing in the other Special Counsel case. What judge Aileen Cannon just did that might give jack smith a reason to ask for her dismissal. Let us dive in. Joining me now is nbc news justice and intelligence correspondent ken dilanian, its good to see you. Get me up to speed on this protective order. Why do they argue that what hes posting is dangerous, and not free speech . Great to see you, katy. Look, a protective order is standard in a criminal case. The prosecution is going to turn over Tens Of Thousands of documents, some of which are subject to grand jury secrecy, some have private information about individuals and the prosecution wants the judge to order donald trump and his lawyers not to make that public. They added special sauce when they cited the truth social post which emerged on friday night as they were writing the brief. They used that to communicate to the judge that they have more than the usual reason to be concerned in this case by turning over Sensitive Information to donald trump because he has a habit of making things public in an effort to intimidate his opponents. Theyre not in this document asking for a gag order, any kind of restriction on trumps ability to criticize the judge or prosecutors in this case. That may come later, but as of right now, the issue is about the documents that they want to turn over as soon as possible to get this trial moving. And theyre worried about what he might reveal about Donald Trumps lawyer who as i said to the Full Ginsberg going on arguing that these charges are bunk, that donald trump has the right to free speech, and thats just what he was exercising. Ill play one of the appearances because they all said the same thing. The defense is quite simple, donald trump, president trump, believed in his heart of hearts that he had won that election. As any american citizen, he had a right to speak out under the First Amendment. He had a right to petition governments around the country, state governments, based on his grievances, that Election Irregularities had occurred. He had every right to speak about the important issues that were taking place after the election. All right, so is he going to be using that same vein, that same argument in trying to say to the judge in this case that, no, donald trump does not need a protective order . Well, he did hint at that in the Full Ginsberg round robin, katy. The news media should be concerned about the protective order, even routine information that isnt sensitive, he may have a point there, but as i said, protective orders are standard in criminal cases, and ill say one other thing, which is that i delve into all of those defenses in a piece we published on nbc news on friday. Its fair to say there are more plausible defenses in this case, than there are in the classified documents case in florida. Its also fair to say that each one of them has significant flaws, principally, one of which, they appear to require donald trump to testify at the trial, which as you and i both know would be legally perilous for donald trump. You got to give me more, ken. Explain more. If he wants to invoke the advice of counsel defense, relied on esteemed lawyers who told him what he was doing with the fake electors was legal, most legally experts believe, and waive Attorney Client privilege. He argued if he generally believed the election was stolen, who could talk about Donald Trumps state of mind, with donald trump. Especially when theres a lot of evidence to the contrary that he was told he lost the election. A lot of perilous moments ahead for him. That is interesting, donald trump on the stand, would interesting, a nice way of putting it. Judge Aileen Cannon just recently filed a response regarding walt nauta and the Special Counsel, can you explain what she said . Yeah, well, she granted the prosecutors request for a hearing to decide whether walt nautas defense attorney, Stanley Woodward has conflicts of interest. He represents other witnesses. She denied their request to file some information under seal because she said they didnt justify it, and she questioned why they were using a washington, d. C. Grand jury to continue to investigate potential Obstruction Of Justice in the case. Its hard to see exactly where this is going, it just shows that judge cannon is going to make the prosecutors work for every single thing they want to do in this case. My next guest has a thought on that. Ill get to it in a moment. Ken dilanian. Joining me now is former u. S. Attorney Barbara Mcquade and joyce vance. I want to start with what we began with, and that is this protective order. Barbara, ill begin with you. I mentioned that it could get hairy, the Discovery Process. Ken was saying this is a routine, normally a routine issuance, its not a big deal to get a protective order. Why could it get hairy in this situation . Well, as we can see, donald trump is going to Fight Everything tooth and nail. It is routine because what they want to turn over are all of the witness statements, so in order to be disclosed into the world, you could imagine that people who have testified against donald trump could find themselves being harassed or threatened by members of the public. Donald trump is going to push hard on everything. And even if he doesnt get his way, the eventual delay in his trial, seems to be his game, Fight Everything, delay everything, concede no ground. I lost you for a couple of moments in that answer there. The connection went bad, so ill ask joyce you the same question. In issuing a protective order, with donald trump claiming his free speech is being violated, et cetera, does that make whatever the judge decides a little trickier . Well, anytime youre looking at these kinds of issues, you have to make consideration about treating all defendants alike. That becomes virtually impossible in the case of donald trump, complicated by his run for the presidency, and First Amendment issues that might arise in the context of the political process. But in so far as he claims any sort of a First Amendment defense to engage in the three conspiracies and the Substantiative Count that hes charged with in the election interference indictment, thats really a nonstarter, katy, because nothing that hes doing here is alleged to be speech. He is charged with conduct, not speech, and thats the line that prosecutors very carefully crafted and drew in this indictment. Hopefully the connection leveled out, mike pence, his former Vice President who in sworn testimony said that donald trump called him too honest and that he was pressuring him to try to overturn the election. Hes now saying he never said that to mike pence. Hes been saying this at various appearances, also on truth social. And claiming that mike pence is, i guess, trying to jump start his fledgling campaign. Mike pence as a witness, if the Special Counsel were to call him, how powerful would that be . And do you expect, barb, that mike pence would end up testifying if called . I do, katy. I think hell be subpoenaed to call to testify. It wont be his choice, and i think he will be asked. There are a number of allegations in the indictment that seem to be things only mike pence knows about. He discusses private conversations in several places, private phone calls including this one where donald trump said youre too honest, and i think mike pence is the only person who can provide that testimony. They may squabble during the campaign, but when it comes time to trial, mike pence will be sworn under oath. Donald trump can testify and contradict him if he wants to, but i think theyll be stuck with cross examining mike pence and see who the jury believes. What about the idea coming from the trump team, he cane get a fair trial in d. C. , john is going to come up with evidence saying that the community itself is biassed against him, and that its not going to work to have a trial there. Is there any chance the venue gets moved, joyce . So this is one of those should have, could have, would have, types of defenses that defendants use in cases. Look at whats going on in florida, you have a very pro trump venue, at least if you credit voting records, and the government wont make a motion to move the trial. Thats because juries are more than just statistics about communities, and there will be ample opportunity and vor dire in the district of columbia for trump, just like there will be in florida for the government, really for both parties in both cases to ensure that the jury includes people who are willing to set aside any of their preconceived notions and decide cases only on the evidence they hear in court. Thats the entire predication for the way our criminal Justice System works. You dont get to go to West Virginia just because you believe the district of columbia jury might not like you. And again, the trial in florida has a much friendlier donald trump crowd. Let me ask you about judge Aileen Cannon and this filing that she made this morning, ken laid it out a moment ago. You said that the Special Counsel could, if they wanted to, use this, push back on it, and use it as a reason to ask for her dismissal in the case, that shes not fit to preside over this case. So well have to see how this plays out, katy, but its very troubling. The government tried to file a motion under seal that includes what they indicated was supplemental evidence. And what the judge did in the order that she issued on the protective order is she said, sorry, you cant file under seal, and she turned around and directed one of the defendants, walt nauta to respond to a specific issue, how do you feel about the government using a grand jury thats not here in florida to continue to gather evidence against you. Its very suggestive that she believes the government is engaged in wrong doing, something that barb and i have had occasion to talk about in the last few weeks. The government can continue to use grand juries to investigate other crimes and other defendants, even after an indictment has been issued, so theres no reason to believe that any of the conduct thats going on here is wrong. Whats really shocking here is seeing a federal judge refuse to give the government permission to file materials related to grand jury proceedings under seal, and certainly we can expect the government go back to her and as i often had to do in pleadings, say, judge, maybe i didnt do a good enough job of explaining what was going on here, let me take a second crack at it. If she persists in refusing to let them make their case, which they can only make under seal, if it involves grand jury information, then they likely will have to consider some form of action with the 11th circuit, whether thats an appeal or petition. Its very important to protect the integrity of the grand jury. Barbara, i know you think shes driving out of her lane here, judge Aileen Cannon, are there pitfalls to getting her taken off this case . Yes, and i dont know that i would agree with joyce. Maybe joyce isnt quite ready to go that far either. I think if she continues to persist in that lawsuit maybe recusal is appropriate, but i think the Justice Department is always reluctant to seek recusal of a judge, and i think they would only do so if she shows a blatant disregard for the law. This revelation, well have to see how this plays out, and i think it would take an awful lot before the government would seek recusal. Sometimes you can file an appeal of an adverse order, and in the course of that, the Court Of Appeals will on its own reassign the case to a different judge or it gives the government an opening to ask for it, in a way that may not be postured to do it just yet. 5 00 p. M. Deadline to file the response in the other Special Counsel case, the one we started with, regarding january 6th for Donald Trumps team to say why there should not be a protective order over information, the Discovery Process and evidence. Well see what happens. Joyce vance, Barbara Mcquade, ladies, thank you so much for joining us as always. Appreciate your expertise. With a possible fourth Trump Indictment any day in georgia, what could d. A. Fani willis have that jack smith does not. An nbc news exclusive, one on one with ron desantis. Why hes now saying donald trump lost the 2020 election. Hasnt been saying it before now. And the fda just approved the first pill to treat postpartum depression. How does it work and who is it for . Were back in 60 seconds. Is it for . Were back in 60 seconds subways now slicing their meats fresh. Thats why soccer pros like me profer the grand slam ham. And this rookie prefers fresh sliced turkey. Perfect for when youre subbed out of the game. And if we profer it, we know youll prefer it too. Nothing better than a sub, sub. The street outside Fulton Countys courthouse is closed. Security is tight. Most staff are working from home, and d. A. Fani willis says shes ready to move forward with Charging Decisions against donald trump. The question now is when will she do that . Joining me from atlanta is nbc news correspondent blayne alexander. Answer me, when is she going to do this . Do we have any indication, any reason to believe it might not be this week . Well see. And also, what would make this indictment different from the one we saw regarding january 6th from jack smith . So lets talk about timing first, and i wish i could give you the match date, but i can do a lot of Tea Leaf Reading for you, katy, and what i can tell you is we do know were within the period now, the threeweek period that she strongly indicated well get Charging Decisions. We dont expect it to happen until possibly the end of this week or early next week. Ill tell you why. We know shes preparing the case. We know subpoenas have gone out, compelling people to come forward and testify before the grand jury in Fulton County. What has not happened is that all of the people who received those subpoenas have to get a 48hour notice as to when they are supposed to appear specifically before the grand jury. I have been checking today with a couple of those people who received the subpoenas, they have not gotten that 48hour notice yet. While she is preparing her case, we know shes not preparing to present it, at least within the next 48 hours. But as you mentioned security is tight. Streets are closed. Barricades are up. Stronger than last week. This is pointing towards us watching and waiting to something happening in the coming days. Whats notable about this, were looking at when this is going to happen, were also looking past it to see what it could potentially look like if there was to be a Trump Indictment and possibly a trump arraignment. We know that the sheriff has said in a News Conference he told me as well that he doesnt plan on any special treatment if the former president were to be indicted here. That means hes planning for a mug shot. Hes planning for fingerprints. He told me he doesnt want to do anything for anybody else that he wouldnt do his own citizens of Fulton County, that he would do it for anybody else in the county. The other big difference, katy, i think that if, and thats a big if, we see a Trump Indictment here, is that cameras will very likely be allowed in the courtroom. Georgia, Fulton County operates different from federal court, different from what we saw in manhattan. The sources i have been speaking with in the courtroom said theres no indication they plan to make a departure from that this far, katy. Blayne alexander, thank you very much. Coming up next, ron desantis says something he has never said before, what he told dasha burns, and why it matters. The fda approved a pill for the leading cause of pregnancy related deaths.

Ron desantis is rebooting his campaign, trying to juice his early chances by visiting all of iowas 99 counties. It is a familiar move done many times before, and not always one that wins. Desantis trails donald trump at 24 points, according to new polling from the New York Times. Which might explain why hes pairing the full state tour with a full state of new interviews, including an exclusive sitdown with nbcs dasha burns where he said something hes never said before. Joining me from cedar rapid, iowa, with that exclusive interview is nbc news correspondent, dasha burns. This full county tour. 99 counties, been there, doing that. What is he doing differently now that signals a real change in the way hes going to run his campaign. What did he tell you . Reporter look, the problem for the republican candidates is they all want to stop talking about trump. Thats hard to do when trump is dominating the headlines and dominating the polls especially with the latest indictment that is focused on the topic that they all want to avoid which is the 2020 election, and its a topic that donald trump doesnt really want to stop talking about. I gave Governor Desantis the opportunity to just put this topic to bed and answer this one question very directly, which to his credit, he did. Take a listen. So you recently said the election is what it is, you said all of these theories that were put out did not prove to be true. So can we just put this to bed so you dont have to be asked about this a million more times. Yes or no, did donald trump lose the 2020 election. Whoever puts their hand on the bible on january 20th, every four years is the winner. Respectfully, you did not clearly answer that question. If you cant give a yes or no on whether or not trump lost, then how can of course he lost. Trump lost the 2020 election . Of course. Joe biden is the president. But the issue is, i think, what people in the media and elsewhere, they want to act like somehow this was just like the perfect election. So i dont think it was a good run election. I also think republicans didnt fight back. Youve got to fight back when that is happening. Reporter he also started to hone his argument, a little bit, katy, for voters, saying that if, look, this election is focused on january 2021, instead of january 2025, we are going to lose. And thats something that i think were going to start hearing more and more of on the Campaign Trail from ron desantis. He said donald trump lost but he also went into it wasnt a well run election, Donald Trumps own Elections Official said it was a wellrun election, so, i mean, im curious to know what his evidence is on that, considering that none of the court cases got anymore, most were dismissed, the vast majority. I wonder, dasha, hes on the 99 county tour. He wants to do well in iowa. You do well in iowa, it can give you momentum to go into New Hampshire and south carolina. Is he resonating . Does he have a path in iowa . Reporter its hard to tell right now. He has done this reboot with this campaign, right. Its only been a couple of weeks. Everyone wants to say, is it failing, is it working. It takes a little bit of time. We have five months until the iowa caucuses. The change i have seen, i followed him from early days before he announced he was visiting iowa. At the outset, he was doing these events, on the stage, behind the podium. Bike racks in front of him, very distant kind of ron desantis. Now, though, hes doing heroes smaller events. You see pictures, the trump campaign, using that to say hes not getting big crowds. Its about the retail politics. Its about doing the things that a lot of people wonder, can he do this well or not. Ive seen him sit down at tables, have longer conversation with folks, whether or not hes doing well at that, whether or not thats working, well have to see. He is changing the way in which hes engaging with folks, and also bringing Casey Desantis and the kids out a lot more, and casey is bringing the pop up personally that a lot of folks say he needs right now. Dasha burns, thank you very much. Catch more of her interview, her exclusive with ron desantis on Nbc Nightly News with lester holt. Joining me is chief Communications Adviser for House Speaker paul ryan, and msnbc political analyst, brendan buck. The other theory about ron desantis, and why he hasnt been working other than, you know, donald trump hogging all the oxygen is the wokism isnt as much of a Lightning Rod or a motivator for Republican Voters as Law And Order messages. This idea of wokism can be different for everybody and that not all republicans agree on what it means and not all republicans agree on the extent to which it should be used. The New York Times had a good argue about this. Is part of it, brendan, the wokism, the idea that you got to stop everyone from being culturally inclusive . I will say, i think that is actually a salient issue among the republican primary voters. The rob for ron desantis is those voters, according to the most recent New York Times poll are choosing donald trump over him. There are a lot of people who think thats an important problem. Theyre not voting for ron desantis for other reasons, one of the reasons may be that donald trump has been attacking ron desantis mercilessly for months now, and hes failed to respond. Ron desantis has proven to not be a great campaigner. I appreciate hes changing things up, and showing he realizes he needs to earn it. Thats good. If im giving the optimistic take for ron desantis, its that hes not in total free fall after four months of bullying. In 2015, the It Government was scott walker. He was in front of the polls, and he dropped so quickly that he was out of the race by september. I remember that. I dont think were there yet with ron desantis. I think there are a lot of people who want him to be good and want him to take on donald trump. I guess hes starting to. I think as he pointed out, that was weak sauce if youre going to do it. Maybe theyre starting to warm up to that. He has been helping donald trump all the way along. Is the only real chance that donald trump implode,s, that the weight of the indictments gets him to stop campaigning or breaks the fever in the republican party. Are either one of those things even likely . Its unlikely, although i actually fear talking to folks that is part of the strategy here, hoping that happens. I dont think he can Pay Attention to politics over the last eight years. I think thats realistic. People always complain about politics, and they ask why do candidates need to go negative. Why are they running attack ads. Going negative works. It works for donald trump, and ron desantis needs to real estate, if hes got a chance, if he wants to go all in on this, he has to go negative on donald trump. He may not want to do that. He may want selfpreservation with voters, a position in a trump administration, maybe he wants to run next time, and doesnt want to alienate them. Thats fine. If people arent going to go at him, we might as well wrap this up at this point. Theres no single event that will take donald trump off the stage. People are devoted to him, unwilling to attack him, things are not going to change. Thats interesting. Brendan buck, thank you very much. Ukraine says they arrested a woman who was trying to help assassinate president search. What she allegedly did, and we wonder is this the first attempt. The fda approves a new pill that could save the lives of thousands of new moms. What you should know about zuranolone. D know about zuranolone witch. Its your business. Its your verizon. I have Type 2 Diabetes, but i manage it well. Its a little pill with a big story to tell. I take oncedaily jardiance, at each days staaart. As time went on it was easy to seee im lowering my a1c. Jardiance works 24 7 in your body to flush out some sugar and for adults with Type 2 Diabetes and known heart disease, jardiance can lower the risk of cardiovascular death, too. Jardiance may cause serious side effects including ketoacidosis that may be fatal, dehydration, that can lead to sudden worsening of kidney function, and Genital Yeast or urinary tract infections. A rare, lifethreatening bacterial infection in the skin of the perineum could occur. Stop taking jardiance and call your doctor right away if you have symptoms of this infection, ketoacidosis, or an allergic reaction, and dont take it if youre on dialysis. Taking jardiance with a sulfonylurea or insulin may cause low blood sugar. Jardiance is really swell, the little pill with a big story to tell. I was stuck. Unresolved Depression Symptoms were in my way. I needed more from my antidepressant. Vraylar helped give it a lift. Adding vraylar to an antidepressant. Is clinically proven to help relieve overall Depression Symptoms. Better than an antidepressant alone. And in vraylar clinical studies, most saw no substantial impact on weight. Elderly dementia patients have increased risk of death or stroke. Report unusual changes in behavior or suicidal thoughts. Antidepressants can increase these in children and young adults. Report fever, stiff muscles, or confusion, as these may be lifethreatening, or uncontrolled muscle movements, which may be permanent. High blood sugar, which can lead to coma or death, weight gain, and high cholesterol may occur. Movement dysfunction and restlessness are common side effects. Stomach and sleep issues, dizziness, increased appetite, and fatigue are also common. Side effects may not appear for several weeks. I didnt have to change my treatment. I just gave it a lift. Ask about vraylar and learn how abbvie could help you save. Ever since i retired, ask about vraylar and learn how abbvie ive had trouble falling asleep and staying asleep you know, insomnia. Which was making my days feel like an uphill battle. That is, until i discovered something different, quviviq a oncenightly fda approved medication for adults with insomnia. Not getting enough sleep was leaving me tired. Oh come on but quviviq helped me get more sleep. Quviviq works differently than medication you may have taken in the past. Its thought to target one of the biological causes of insomnia overactive wake signals. And when taken every night, studies showed that sleep continued to improve over time. Do not take quviviq if you have narcolepsy. Dont drink alcohol while taking quviviq or drive or operate heavy machinery until you feel fully alert. Quviviq may cause temporary inability to move or talk or hallucinations while falling asleep or waking up. Quviviq may cause sleepiness during the day. Quviviq may lead to doing activities while not fully awake that you dont remember the next day, like walking, driving and making or eating food. Worsening depression, including suicidal thoughts, may occur. Most common side effects are headaches and sleepiness. Its quviviq. Ask your doctor if its right for you. bobby my store and my Design Business . Were exploding. But my old internet, was not letting me run the show. So, we switched to Verizon Business internet. They have business grade internet, nationwide. vo make the switch. Its your business. Its your verizon. The cdc estimates one in eight women experience depression after they give birth. Some severely so. In fact, the cdc says the most common underlying cause of all pregnancy related deaths in the United States are Mental Health conditions. Now the fda has a new drug to help treat that finally. Zuranolone has now been approved for post partum depression, to help with anxiety, sleep loss, low energy and feelings of guilt. Joining me now is contributor, dr. Kavita patel. Who is this specifically for . What sort of post partum are we talking about . This is really four people who have what we would call moderate or severe post partum depression. Were under diagnosing postpartum depression. Any drug that helps to bring out the conversation, even if you find out lo and be hold, this woman suffers from mild postpartum depression, and she should try Something Else before we try this drug, thats a victory. Thats a success. Too many women are not getting diagnosed or treated. Again, this is reserved for a more specific type of postpartum depression, more severe. Part of when you have a baby, your Health Insurance will call you and have you go through a checklist or a questionnaire, and when i answered the questions, i felt like i needed to answer in a positive way because of guilt associated with it. How do you diagnose women properly when they feel like they have to answer things in a more positive way than they might be feeling in the moment . Katy, thats where its so important for doctors such as myself in the primary care setting to work with other primary care doctors like pediatricians. I think the most benefit that can happen is during all of these, you and i know, all the baby visits that we have to take the babies to the doctors so many times those are critical moments youre seeing the mother and youre seeing the family, and you can have the honest moment where you look someone in the eyes and say how really are you doing, and also to cut that stigma. I think having this treatment, i know this sounds crazy, knowing theres something out there, something thats a 14day treatment that has shown that even after the first pills that you start to see effects take place, three days after the onset of treatment, just knowing thats out there might have moms feel a little more comfortable to say these feelings of being disconnected from my baby are actually normal. Look at the video were showing. Were showing the pill video, and also showing happy videos or pictures of mothers and babies because the imaging around giving birth is this is amazing, its a bundle of joy, its the greatest thing thats ever happened to you. All of those things are true, and its extremely difficult, and isolating when you dont feel the joy in every moment, and you can feel overwhelmed and tired. I want to put on the screen a stat i mentioned a moment ago from the cdc, the leading cause of pregnancy related deaths when theyre able to diagnose it is Mental Health issues. Its not cardiac arrest, its not hemorrhaging, its not a physical medical issue, a Mental Health issue, something a little more femoral. I was surprised by that when i was doing my research into this drug . Unfortunately im not surprised by it, and i think just because of the stigma associated with Mental Health in general, we dont realize in many cases, we saw this with covid, if you had depression, that puts you at significant risk of being hospitalized or dying of covid. People didnt realize, Mental Health, i tell people that taking medication or getting therapy is just like treating diabetes. You wouldnt deny insulin to someone that needed it. Shouldnt deny Mental Health treatment to someone who needs it, and thats exactly why i think these drugs and its been far too long, katy. We dont have trials on these patients, pregnant women in general. So i hope all of this is kind of a signal of a new era to come. Yeah. So that we dont feel embarrassed to talk about it. Its hard, its very hard. Its hard to do a trial on a pregnant woman because its a pregnant woman, and you dont want to take any risks there. Let me ask you about when this is going to be available. Is it going to be on the shelves in the coming weeks or take a bit longer than that . Its going to take a bit longer, and briefly heres why. Its because this is something that has kind of what we call Central Nervous system effects. This does act on parts of your brain, and theres actually a Black Box Warning on it, katy, that you shouldnt drive 12 hours after taking it. Its a daily bill that you take for two weeks, so, you know, that obviously, youre a newborn mom, you got to drive, youve got to do things. So the dea has to review this, and it will take several months, we should see it at the end of the year, available to moms, and again, forcing this conversation to happen about postpartum depression.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu now says he is willing to pull back on part of a judicial overhaul which sparked nationwide protests in an interview with bloomberg news. Netanyahu says he will change the way the judges are selected but now concedes that he will shelf the rest of his plans, at least for the time being. Nbc news Foreign Correspondent raf sanchez has more from tell avooif. Reporter there are ways of looking at this latest announcement. It does appears hes admitting hes scaling back his judicial overhaul. What started as a broad range of proposed laws has been reduced two. The first is legislation the past two weeks ago, which limits the Supreme Courts ability to challenge government decisions, and the second one is a proposed bill that would give the government more control over the committee that Appoints Judges to the Supreme Court. Now, that perspective, netanyahu appears to be taking a step back, but the second perspective here is that even if just those two laws passed, this would be an absolute revolution in terms of israels judiciary. The protesters say the two laws on their own would represent a major threat to democracy. They would remove the Supreme Court as a significant check on the power of the government. Prime minister netanyahu says these are necessary reforms that would move power out of the hands of unelected judges and back into the hands of politicians. This proposed bill that hes talking about that would give the government more control over appointing Supreme Court judges, he says that would make the situation in israel more similar to the United States where the president Appoints Judges, judges then confirmed by the Supreme Court. That bill wouldnt go up in front of parliament until at least october, and before then, there is a major hearing scheduled in the Supreme Court on september 12th. That is the date all of israel has on its calendar. All 15 of the Supreme Court judges will hear this case. The first time in israels history that all 15 are sitting together, and they will decide whether or not to strike down the legislation that weakens their own power to challenge the government. If they do strike it down, it would be the first time in israeli history that the court has struck down a basic law, a semiconstitutional law. When i spoke to Prime Minister netanyahu last week, he told me he hopes it does not come to that, that it does not reach a point where the Supreme Court is striking down basic laws. He said that would be comparable to the american Supreme Court striking down a u. S. Constitutional amendment which as i pointed out to him is not really a fair comparison. U. S. Constitutional amendments can only be made by consensus. 2 3 of the house, 2 3 of the senate, 3 4 of the states where his legislation passed by a simple majority. Netanyahu would also not commit in explicit terms to abiding by the Supreme Courts decision, which is causing a lot of concern here in israel among people who fear he is threatening a constitutional crisis. Back to you. Raf sanchez, thank you very much. And in ukraine, police say they have arrested a woman who was aiding a plot to assassination president volodymyr zelenskyy. According to ukraines secret service, the woman was collecting information on where president zelenskyy would be and when he would be there, and then allegedly sharing that information with russia. Nbc news has not independently verified those ukrainian claims, but joining me now is nbc news Foreign Correspondent matt bradley. So what sort of information was she collecting . How imminent was this . Reporter yeah, i mean, katy, this was actually last month that we saw that all of this was happening, and the kind of information that she was it wat the whereabouts of president zelenskyy who was supposed to be visiting the region where she lived last month. We have no individual unique insights into whats going on, but according to ukrainian intelligence she was collecting information about electronic military facilities, Ammunition Depots and warehouses, things that could be considered major targets. So this was something that was going on for a while. She had been observed doing this, driving around mykolaiv, this region in the south, a hotly contested region since this war began. She was observed doing this. Then as we heard from ukrainian intelligence, they caught her redhanded u not taking photographs of the military installations, not trying to find out information about the itinerary of president zelenskyy when he finally did visit mykolaiv, but when she was turning this information over to her supposed russian handlers. There are a lot of unknowns, a lot of questions. The fact of the matter is it sounds like they did catch her when she was liaising with her bosses. It sounds like they let her go because they wanted to snuff out her actual russian handlers and thats what happened. Matt bradley, thank you very much.
