in the district of delaware that haven t had some touch point with the biden family, and the extended family. so what david wise here, he brought in an experienced prosecutor from the district of maryland, from the eastern district of pennsylvania. those are the people that signed the information today. one of them in particular has a background i find very interesting. he is the prosecutor who has been principally responsible for the prosecution of baltimore city attorney, marlon roseberry. this is not a person who is scared easily, with respect to charges against people who were prominent in the democratic party. i think that was also an important strategic consideration. i mean, a trump appointed a.g. is saying, to jim jordan, chill out. i got this. there are people on twitter who have been making the point that david weiss is not really a trump nominee because he had to be blue slipped, or approved by the two democratic senators in delaware. notwithstanding that, the choice at
purposefully left at a potential charge that was listed in the affidavit, the justice department filed, with a search warrant for mar-a-lago last summer. the charge but the concealing in its handling of sensitive government documents. that was the only charge, the only charge that might have directly impacted trump s ability to run for president. if someone is convicted of that charge, they are required to quote, forfeit their office and be disqualified from holding any office under the united states. trump a seemingly getting every accommodation possible. no mugshots, for bill, or anything else that normal defendants have to deal with. at the same time, doj treated hunter biden by the book. the idea that trump is being prosecuted unfairly? that is absurd. but don t take my word for it, here is trump s former attorney general, bill barr, in an op-ed just yesterday. quote, trump s indictment is not the result of unfair government persecution. this is a situation entirely of his own maki
it truly came to define these midterms. a year out, do you think that that intensity has increased? do you worry at all about it diminishing? oh, i think it has been sustained. and it will be sustained. we obviously saw it in the midterms. but you know, people are experiencing it every day. right, for themselves, for the people they love, for their friends. so this isn t something that is going to go away. you know, they kept saying the, pendants before the midterms, every once moved on. absolutely not. people care deeply about this issue. the public is with us. we are going to continue to see that. even people who do not consider themselves pro-choice, often said this is government overreach. and i don t like it. it s what you saw in a lot of. states nancy northup, president and ceo for the center for reproductive rights. thank you so much. one final story ahead here tonight, one of the lawyers who pushed the fake electors scheme for donald trump in 2020, was on the stand today, a
thank you for joining us. alex is off tonight. the biden butter of conservative media for years now husband hyping up an investigation into president biden s old son hunter biden. and never seemed to end. the investigation, which was open in 2018, under trump s justice department, has then a black box of sorts by republicans. they use it to create a symmetry that didn t really exist between trump s alleged crimes, when they speculated was the crime ridden biden family. so long as this case was open, and the investigation was behind closed doors, they could really make it whatever they wanted it to be. even though that was the case even the republicans have been dining out on the hunter investigation for years, they also have been up in arms about how it hadn t finished yet. they were aghast that trump was indicted before hunter. they wanted hunters case resolved immediately. today we have closure in that case. today, we have the news that
cataloging all of the presidents, the former president s public appearances, and making yourself a big batch of tapes that you may end up playing in your case. or on cross-examination of the witnesses. because every time trump makes one of these public statements, he is potentially contributing to the large pile of evidence that the government has against him, he is making it easier to cross examine him. we saw how this played out in the e. jean carroll case, where some of the most powerful testimony there was his own deposition testimony, where he misidentified a photograph of e. jean carroll as his second wife, marla maples. and that certainly landed with the jury. the prosecutors will hope for a similar smoke and the gun here, and if the former president doesn t learn to quit talking, they are very likely to have it. former u.s. attorney, joyce vance, and msnbc legal analyst, lisa reuben, thank you so much for being with us. when we come back, the political divide over the investi
