that s what sent it here to the appeals court today. last week the former president s lawyers asked judge tanya chutkan to hold special counsel jack smith and his team in contempt of court for continuing to file motion while the appeals process has paused the case. now, separately, there has been a twist in trump s election interference case in georgia. co-defendant of the former president is accusing fulton county d.a. fani willis of having inappropriate relationship with a top prosecutor on the case. now, according to the washington examiner, quote: special prosecutor nathan weighed a private attorney has been paid roughly $654,000 in legal fee bias fulton county since january of 22 some of which he paid for extravagant vacations with willis. when it comes to the hearing here today for the federal case and on this immunity appeal, the trump team is going to argue that a president, past, current, so sitting president, that they have absolute immunity from criminal charges. the governm
mike memoli is with us and we are anticipates something between now and the weekend. talk to us about what this means. this is going back to a decision in november by a federal judge that struck down title 42, and told the biden administration they could no longer use this public health policy by the way that continues to have stricter border enforcement some of the the administration at the time asked them for at least a few weeks to allow them to implement alternatives to this policy, and that s where december 21st came up but a group of republican attorneys general sued, asking for title 42 to be kept in place, and so what we re waiting to hear from the appeals court today is whether they will agree with the republican attorneys general and whether they will extend the time line even further or go ahead and have december 21st go as planned. i spoke with a biden administration official and said listen, we re planning december
to september, somebody has been fighting this grand jury subpoena that a judge had issued, again, in this investigation. and it s gone back and forth to the appeals court and back to the regular to the circuit court judge. and now finally the appeals court today is ruling that to uphold the subpoena and ordering this company to provide the information that is being requested of it, and, again, this is a fight that has been shrouded in mystery for several months, wolf. so potentially, how significant is this court of appeals decision upholding the district court decision for robert mueller and the special counsel team? right. it s a big deal. because it means that whoever it is that s been fighting this for the last couple of months is going to have to turn over this information. again, that s, of course, if this ruling stands, if they decide, perhaps, to continue appealing to the supreme court. we don t know. but it s a pretty big moment here, where the appeals court is reaffirmi
as early as this week, though he hasn t put a specific time limit on it. also this week the president will deliver his second kmepsment address, this time at the coast guard academy. he ll welcome the president of turkey at the white house. friday off to saudi arabia, the first of several stops. he will visit saudi arabia, israel, italy, belgium, then back to the united states. he ll be out of the country for more than a week. officials here say it is a very high-tax trip. so a lot on the agenda for president trump this week. our thanks to kelly o donnell for that report. president trump s revised travel ban will go before an appeals court today. ninth circuit court will hear it, a federal judge in hawaii blocking the reworked executive order. that does it for us this monday. morning joe starts right now. the president is the ceo of the country.
well, if he loses the appeal, yes, he could go back to jail for a very long time. the minimum sentencing for hurder can be 15 years in south africa. he spent just shy of one year in prison, sixth of his sentence for that culpable homicide conviction. we will potentially have proceedings wrap up at the appeals court today. it will be a very in-depth legal discussion, teams of lawyers effect ofly arguing it out based on case law and based on the facts based on the legal interpretation of the facts of the case. now, we don t expect a decision today by the appeal court. they might announce a date. it could be some days from now. it could be some weeks. they could even say that they will look at this matter, at least give a decision on this matter after the recess which starts on november 30th. so this long trial that s had many twists and turns effectively a circus trial or t a least a show trial in south africa, had many people glued to their seats during the
