taylor greene who is known to spread misinformation and hate speech, she stated she s coming to town. while you are in town be on your best behavior. okay, then, new york city mayor eric adams control yourself. just going right there with that warning ahead of a historic day in manhattan. donald trump, former president, will become the first former president to face criminal charges. we will get a live report from outside the courthouse in just a moment meanwhile, there is new reporting this morning on how the manhattan grand jury is impacting the fulton county da s investigation into election interference in georgia. also ahead, we will break down what is at stake today in wisconsin as voters head to the polls for an election that many are calling the most consequential in decades. that is a huge state supreme court race that has national implications regarding gerrymandering, regarding just the laws of that state, which has become the most consequential swin
to become president, what does that mean for america s relationship with its allies for yet another term in. for sure. all right there are questions about how consequential this is, and they re truly fair it is a balance in terms of covering it because it has to be covered. it s history happening and also as was pointed out, everyone s looking at that this will mean what could also be interesting, and it s possible right we don t know, but this former president, this may not be his first indictment. this former president might be facing multiple indictments, and i would just sort of sear in the seal that has been broken by indicting a former president. yep, i agree. i think you re right i think this may be the first of several indictments. we don t know, but mike barnacle obviously, there have been a lot of people that have expressed concerns with the outlines of this case, whether bragg should have brought this case, d.a. bragg should have brought this
with turning himself in. it s just a repeat of the reality show and it s a story. i actually you know, i m torn on how to cover this because it is news, it is huge news, it s all that people want to talk about. people don t want to talk about the tornadoes that are ravaging one half of the country, they want to talk about the ex-president having to go for his day in court. and, joe, donald trump was summoned to the courthouse, we are not sure if he actually could have done it over zoom and we don t know what kind of exposure he will get in the courtroom. they say no cameras except for still cameras, but surely we will get some kind of images out of that room today. there was a rolling from rolling stone, it will be a great question to ask da bragg whether trump could have done this over zoom or not, again, only a single-source story from rolling stone right now. but that s a good question to ask da bragg this is a critically important story, it s the first time a president has be
i know that s something that mika and i talked about a couple of days ago. it s not necessarily a weak case the evidence could be compelling, it could be corroborated, there could be a lot of it, but in terms of charges, it s less serious how do we know that? well, for one the underlying offense and we will see whether or not mr. bragg actually charges it, is a misdemeanor, by classification a relatively low-level crime. if we see felony charges and i expect we will they will probably be class e felonies under new york state law, again, a relatively low classification of felony. doesn t mean these charges don t matter, it doesn t mean he won t be held to account, but i agree generally, joe, with your supposition that the cases in georgia and the cases under investigation by jack smith as special counsel are probably weightier. all right former u.s. attorney chuck rosenberg, as always, we greatly appreciate your time
