The congresswoman facing a near certain loss against her trump backed opponent. Were fed up with liz cheney. Were live in jackson, wyoming on the eve of the primary. One year since the chaotic withdrawn since afghanistan. What its like for the afghans left behind and those who made it to america. The first one and a half months, i just lost myself where am i chinas new threat after members of congress visit taiwan americas Home Builders declare a housing recession. And . In 2021, i made over 1 million. Meet the metaverse millionaires announcer live from cnbc, the facts, the truth, the news with Shepard Smith. Good evening the Justice Department fighting to keep the maralago search warrant affidavit sealed and out of the public eye for now. Several news organizations including nbc news are asking a federal judge to unseal that affidavit. It explains why Law Enforcement believes theres probable cause. Essentially the rationale for the search it could shed a lot more light on the top secret documents that fbi agents were searching for in former President Trumps home. The doj is pushing back hard in a new court filings, federal prosecutors say the affidavit needs to stay sealed to protect the integrity of the ongoing Law Enforcement federal investigation that implicates National Security. They say releasing the affidavit now would cause significant and irreparable damage to the ongoing criminal investigation meantime threats against federal Law Enforcement have spiked after the maralago search. Nbc news has learned the fbi and department of Homeland Security sent out an intelligence bulletin warning that the threats are appearing across multiple platforms, including social media sites and forums and video sharing platforms and image boards the fbi also warning that people are sharing the personal information of potential targets. Including their home addresses and identities of family members as additional targets. Just today, we learned the fbi arrested a man in pennsylvania for allegedly making violent threats on the right wing social media web site gab cnbc senior washington correspondent eamon javers now eamon. Reporter kayla, the threats we are seeing extend to individual fbi agents by name especially since the identities of two agents involved in the maralago search were circulated on web sites and social media during the course of this past week. That may be why were seeing an increased Security Posture at the fbi headquarters in washington today the secret service said its also bolstering precautions over there as well. Those actions come as lawmakers try to figure out how much damage, if any, was done by trump retaining highly classified documents at his florida resort over the weekend, democratic chairs of the house intelligence and oversight committees wrote a letter to the director of National Intelligence requesting that the u. S. Intelligence community conduct a Damage Assessment of the incident some capitol hill republicans are focused on the conduct of the Justice Department itself. 18 republicans on the Judiciary Committee sent a letter to executive branch officials, including the attorney general, fbi director and white house chief of staff asking for records about the search, information about the warrant and details of any communications with the department of justice and the white house. As for that assertion by allies of the former president that some that trump had some sort of Standing Order to declassify some materials, former Trump National security adviser john bolton said he never heard anything about that. I think that claim is almost certainly a lie. Look, when i became National Security adviser, nobody briefed me or informed me that this policy or order was in effect. I was never aware of anything even remotely approximating that policy and i havent heard anything of it since i left. Now on social media today, trump said the fbi seized his passports. That would be an unusual move and one thats not typically done before any charges have been filed in an investigation so it is not clear what happened here one explanation for all this could simply be that his passports happen to be stored in the boxes of documents that the fbi seized last week kayla. Eamon, thank you. Rudy giulianis legal jeopardy is intensifying in georgia prosecutors in Fulton County informed giuliani that he is a target of the criminal investigation into efforts by former President Trump and allies to overturn the election. Thats according to giulianis lawyer a judge has ordered giuliani to testify on wednesday before the special grand jury in atlanta is handling the case. Meantime, a federal judge has ruled that the republican senator Lindsey Graham also needs to appear the grand jury senator graham has come under intense scrutiny for phone calls he made to Georgia Election officials in the wake of mr. Trumps defeat today, the judge rejected senator grahams motion to toss out the grand jury subpoena. Lets now bring in renato mariotti, a former prosecutor. Renato, what does it mean to be a target in a state case so that is a very specific term of art in criminal law. It means that the prosecutors are likely to indict mr. Giuliani so we often hear the term subject or target run around many people can be a subject of a case that means theyre being looked at a target means something very specific that means mr. Giuliani should be waiting for indictment. Meanwhile, senator graham ordered to testify, but hes appealing to a higher court. What is the outcome he is hoping for and how likely is that to happen i think the outcome that hes realistically hoping for is to delay. Take some time off the clock, so to speak, and show to the former president that hes being loyal and doing whatever he can to resist this. I dont realistically think that hes going to get out of testifying before a grand jury renato mariotti, thanks to you as always. Former Trump Organization cfo Allen Weisselberg expected to plead guilty to criminal charges as early as thursday according to nbc news. Last summer, the manhattan d. A. s office charged weisselberg with tax fraud and other crimes hes accused of receiving off the books perks at the Trump Organization sources familiar with the case tell nbc that hes nearing a plea deal with prosecutors the terms of the plea have not been disclosed sources familiar with the case say he is not expected to coop cooperate in the broader investigation into former President Trump. Primary tests tomorrow for two of the highest profile republican critics of the former president. Voters in two states are heading to the polls for several statewide races, but all eyes are on wyoming congresswoman liz cheney and alaska senator Lisa Murkowski. Of course, congresswoman cheney elected the same year as former President Trump. Was one of ten House Republicans who voted to impeach him costing her her leadership position she also serves as the vice chair of the house january 6th committee and has railed against the former president s actions before, during and after the insurrection now shes facing the fallout according to a recent poll congresswoman cheney is trailing her trump backed opponent Harriet Hageman by nearly 30 points the Team Coverage tonight is ali vitali tonight in anchorage, alaska, but first Vaughn Hillyard in jackson, wyoming vaughn, is the writing on the wall for cheney . Reporter this is going to be an uphill battle for her ultimately it is not only Republican Voters that come out tomorrow liz cheney is relying on democratic voters here to change the Party Registration to come out and vote for her, but the difficulty is the republicans outnumber democrats here by a 4 to 1 margin. In the hope back in may when i was last out here, i was at a Harriet Hageman rally with donald trump Harriet Hageman is that trump endorsed candidate and long time gop activist and land use attorney here who has relied on Donald Trumps backing for propel herself in the campaign the hope from the cheney side of this Political Party was that after these public january 6th hearings were that Republican Voters would be swayed that her crusade against donald trump here to ultimately bring some sort of justice from the capitol hill attack and election lines that propagated after the election would make sense to Republican Voters and they would come to her side the polling indicates that is not whats happened. Take a listen to two of the voters that we talked to here. I was done with liz cheney way before january 6th i follow politics enough to know how she votes. She votes with the democrats way too often. I will be voting for liz cheney because she has common sense and she promotes democracy and, um, the other ones do not im tired of it. Reporter that woman . Sue green. Democratic voter in so many ways, you can look at the republican state of politics over the last two decades. It is this race in wyoming that is a symbol for the wild transformation it has gone through the last 20 years. Kayla. Vaughn hillyard, the polls close tonight. Vaughn hillyard in downtown jackson. Thanks in alaska, republican senator Lisa Murkowski appears to have a much better chance of surviving her primary race she has to place in the top four spots to move forward thanks to the states new voting system. Senator murkowski was among seven republican senators who voted to convict former President Trump on an impeachment charge of inciting an insurrection at the capitol last month, mr. Trump called her the worst and essentially labeled her his number one target nbcs capitol hill correspondent ali vitali is live in anchorage tonight. Ali, what are people on the ground saying there and how long until we know the outcome . Reporter kayla, this is not something were expecting to see results on in the immediate aftermath of voting today in large part because alaska is a huge state where so many of the voters vote by mail. It takes time for those ballots to come in and then the ranked Choice Voting system on top of that means they just need a little bit more time you shouldnt expect to see results for at least a week. Election results certified by the end of the month so theyre in for a little bit of a waiting period. For senator Lisa Murkowski labeled one of trumps number one targets in the midterm elections. She faces an uphill battle, but she is also no stranger to that. Everyone talks about the infamous 2010 writein campaign that she mounted they know she is someone who can face tough election battles and still win. It is something she is hoping to do this is a moment that tests trump influence in the state he endorsed one of her opponents. You are right, at least for the shortterm, all she has to do is make the top four here and it expected she will do so. Ali, former governor and former exvice president ial candidate sarah palin is also on the house ballot tomorrow. How far will her name recognition get her in the state . Reporter it could take her pretty far here, kayla this is where that new ranked Choice Voting system comes in because it has never been used before in alaska it is what they use to decide who finishes out the late don youngs term and this is the strategy that republicans and democrats alike are going to have to play because the way the ranked Choice Voting works is you are not just choosing if you are an alaska voter, one candidate, you are instead ranking them one through three these kinds of systems tend to benefit candidates who are a little more consensus building for fire brands like sarah palin, thats not necessarily the m. O. That she has here on the ground with voters the question is going to be if they see her as someone who can represent them in congress in a Republican Party that frankly she was to the right of when she first came on the national scene, but in many ways in congress has now come to meet her. Now they going to decide whether or not theyre going to put her as their representative there. The way this would work, kayla, whoever comes in third out of the three candidates is eliminated, theyre voters are divvied up based on the second choices and thats who ultimately will be the winner here we know youll bring it to us ali vitali there on the ground in anchorage ali, thank you Author Salman Rushdie now on a long road to recovery after an attacker stabbed him as he prepared for a speech.

It includes 80 billion in new funding for the irs and more than half of that going towards beefing up tax enforcement. The goal . An estimated 200 billion over the next decade from tax invaders. Robert frank has more on who the agency is targeting. Reporter the white house estimates the over 600 billion a year in federal income taxes go unpaid. Now the irs is cracking down. Especially on the wealthy. A recent study showed that the top 1 of earners account for 36 of all unpaid taxes. There are three specific types of taxpayers that the irs will be looking for. The first is pastors. That is any kind of ship, escort, foundation, or sole proprietorship.

The tax breaks are available only to people making less than 150,000 a year or less than 300,000 for married couples. Cnbcs phil lebeau covers. Which electric vehicles will qualify for these incentives . Right off the bat, it is the models built here in the u. S. Two good examples are the tesla model y and the ford f1 50 lightning. For this reason, the Research Firm resources, which has come up with a list of who they call the i. R. A. Ev winners and losers. Among the losers, they pointed out you have tesla, ford, and gm. That is because tesla, ford, and gm have their Assembly Lines letty to go right now or they will be in the next couple of years. By comparison, take a look at who are the losers. Most notably on this list, you will see the japanese automakers, toyota, and nissan. That is because they dont have immediate plans to build evs here in the u. S. And by extension that means that for a while, any evs they import into this country they will get the 7500 dollars discount. Phil, affordability is a huge issue here. Four dollars for a gallon of gas is expensive, but 66,000, which is what an electric vehicle is averaging right now, is so much more expensive. How quickly can these Companies Make enough cars so that the price drops . It is going to take some time, because the biggest thing that is driving up the cost of electric vehicles are batteries. And the battery packs, the cells that go into them, and really, the components. Things like lithium, cobalt, nickel. All of those Raw Materials are in short supply, kayla. It costs more to make those batteries. That is the reason why it is hard to find a truly, low cost electric vehicle. As more production comes online, as more Minerals Come online, hopefully here in the united states, we should see the price later this decade start to come back.

The issues at the center of the fight. New details in the deadly shooting on the set of rest, but first, marking one year since the fall of afghanistan. One year ago today, the taliban swept through kabul, taking over the capital. It was a swift and Stunning Development that caught the Biden Administration offguard. President biden himself the next day on the 16th of august admitted as much. The truth is, this did unfold more quickly than we had anticipated. So what has happened . Afghanistan political leaders gave up and fled the country. The Afghan Military collapse. Sometime without trying to fight. The critics say u. S. Intelligence had warned of the collapse earlier in the summer, even at the president publicly stated it was unlikely to happen. A year later, afghanistans economy is on life support. Millions are at risk of starting. 37 of afghan households dont have enough money to cover food. Sky news reports the countrys largest Children Hospital there is overwhelmed. Doctors say they cant keep babies and kids who have treatable diseases alive because they dont have the medications or equipment. Girls who would be in 7th to 12th grade are banned from attending school. We have two reports tonight. One on the afghans who were able to make it to america. First, a look at the taliban today from our sister network, sky news, reporting from kabul. It has been a happy day reporter they said they couldnt believe they took kabul so easily. They celebrated then, and they still are. On a now public holiday, the taliban took to the streets in their famous pickups trucks and now the captured cars. To this conquering army, natos greatest failure was never in doubt. They say they always knew. These enormous convoys have been going on continuously. You can see they are all still fully armed. I think the message from the taliban to the outside world is we are here, we are still armed, and we are here to stay. Exactly a year long, the taliban continues the new tradition of a televised media event. National media, but overwhelmingly attended by loyalists. Special sources astrologers struggled to hold back people eager to get inside. It seems that they are at a loss what to do with women. In the audience, taliban royalty, including a powerful 28yearold leader, the negotiator with the united states. His arrival sparked a flurry of activity and oppress call eager for pictures of him. I chance, he sat behind me and we started chatting. He told me economically, afghanistan is struggling because foreign aid has been slashed and assets frozen. The key Sticking Point with the International Community is education for girls. In his interview, he explained it would take time to convince the taliban, saying that the world must give him some room. This is nuanced stuff, but for and our connie family member, an ultraconservative group, this is a big deal. How the world deals with the taliban in the future is undecided, of course. The foot soldiers celebrating outside the american embassy, a simple but failed. None of this really matters right now. In truth, many of these taliban were babies when the war started. 1 trillion and 21 years later, they are in total control. Stuart ramsay, kabul. Hundreds of thousands of afghans and family members who had ties to the u. S. Occupation or whose lives were endangered were evacuated around the world. They entered months of uncertainty and military bases overseas and socalled safe haven basis here in the u. S. More than 80,000 have settled in communities across this country. For many of these afghans, the milestone is bittersweet. There is hope for new life, stress about finding work, and fear for their families back home. I was born to fly.

Any afghans still arriving now stopped first at this Conference Center in virginia. They spend a month getting acclimated, meeting with refugee agencies, and learning how to navigate American Life like integration 101, figuring out how to apply for asylum or a twoyear work permit, and what happens once that runs out. It has us a little bit cautious. We are thinking, what if we cannot get any, what will happen to our future . We have got to, what should we do . Several women arrived here recently after nearly a year, requesting to shield their identity among concern for their families. They say conditions on the base are punishing. They have been through a lot. They are still going through a lot. Just for their daily base needs, they have to stay in lines for 2 to 3 hours and 104 degrees. Just angking about it gives me chills.

Mr. Trump today said the fbi took three of his passports during the search of maralago last week. The doj official told nbc news that the passports had been returned.
