i would rather lose by telling the truth than lie in order to win. chris christie drops out with no endorsement. anyone who is unwilling to say that he is unfit to be president of the united states is unfit themselves to be president of the united states. as the rest of the field panders to maga. don t just build the wall. bill both walls. anthony, you are fired. tonight, what christie s departure means to the race in our party led by an indicted front runner. sits here with a smug look on his face and runs away when it s my turn to talk. how the tent collapsed on the margaret circus, with congresswoman jasmine crockett, and george conway on how trump attorneys walk into a trap at a d.c. courtroom. when all in starts, right now. good evening from new york. i m chris hayes. a major development tonight in the race for the republican nomination. chris christie, the only candidate telling the truth about trump from the republican side and his attempted coup was
vladimir putin knows that. when he was president, donald trump was not smart enough to know that. but mitch mcconnell knew it. and so, this steady stream of trump appointed judges to federal courts, from top to bottom, from district courts through the appeals courts, all the way up to the united states supreme court, we re all certified by a right-wing organization that calls itself the federalist society, had rushed through senate confirmation by mitch mcconnell. at the trump judges have now so infected the federal judiciary that the department of justice, for the first time in its history, doesn t know what to do. they don t know what to do next in a criminal investigation. a trump judge who was confirmed in the last weeks of the trump presidency, a lean mercedes cannon, has issued an order and she did it to help donald trump delay a criminal investigation of don trump by the justice department. judge cannon is ordering the appointment of a so-called special master to stu
day, there is another question. do you indicted former president? what will that do to the country? what kind of precedent will that set? i don t want to see him indicted is a former president. but i also think they will be under a lot of pressure to indict him, because if anybody else would have gotten indicted, why not indict him? the justice department does have to decide by friday if it will accept a judges order to appoint a special master in the case or file an appeal. the doj appears to be widening its separate investigation into events leading up to the capitol riot. according to the new york times the fbi is looking to talk to more people, including william russell, a former white house aide who continued working for trump after he left office. the times said russell has been subpoenaed. it has been 20 months. tweet think about that. 20 months since the rioters stormed the capitol. today in an alarming report shows the extremism behind the insurrection. it is not g

walensky will join me. our conversation on the brand-new covid boosters. the potential for a once a year covid shot and the pandemic that s still killing nearly 500 americans every day. but first, it s decision time for the justice department. faced with the hugely consequential choice of whether to appeal a florida judge s decision to appoint a special master in the case of those classified documents seized from mar-a-lago. that ruling is now the subject of a ton of push back, even from conservatives including former attorney general bill barr. the opinion i think was wrong and i think the government should appeal it. it s deeply flawed in a number of ways. i don t think the appointment of a special master is going to hold up but even if it does, i don t see it fundamentally changing the trajectory. when you think the stakes can t be any higher, the washington post is revealing one of the documents taken last month revealed details about another country s nuclear cap
