the taxes, he has paid back the taxes. there had been an agreement on the gun charge which was not thet determined so that clearly could lead to an indictment and a trial on the gun charge, but because they went into court that day with what they thought was a resolution on both the taxes and the guns and he said david weiss said that there still was an ongoing investigation, that does suggest that there were could be foreign representation issue, could be other issues regarding his business dealings, but there s more to investigate beyond those two issues that they thought had been walled off, doesn t it? it does, and you will recall, andrea, that mr. weiss said as much in his press release. right. very publicly he has consistently said there is and is an ongoing investigation. the part that seems incomprehensible to me is there was a misconnect, that there wasn t clarity at the time of this change of plea, that the
right. andrea, this was a hearing that typically we wouldn t even report on, we might just attend and send a note in later but given the public interest in this case involving the former president and given the issues and how much of a megaphone donald trump has it the hearing took extra importance today and it s basically all about what evidence that is going to be shared from federal prosecutors during the scope of their investigation with the defense, what evidence can be shared or can perhaps be made public out of that leading up to the trial date. in a protective order is not uncommon in criminal cases but here there was a pretty wide gulf between the two sides. federal prosecutors say everything is protected, nothing can be disclosed and the defense ways saying we should be able to disclose some things, we will have to interview people and talk to people about what they said and so perhaps you can make it more about certain sensitive documents that might pertain to certain witn
across the country and all across the world and to have this happen so unexpectedly and so quickly, displaced a lot of people very rapidly and so the try to the plan is to try to get out or at least get to somewhere safe. it s been a real trial for people here. andrea? and, steve, what about the electricity getting the internet, but getting power up. i had heard as many as 11,000 people do not have power. yeah, we re still above 10,000, that number continues to persist. there are wide swaths, i don t want to give the wrong impression, there are wide swaths of the island that are okay, especially when you get beyond the east side of the island, but you have to remember still six fires burning, the west side no power, no internet, fuel is limited, food is limited, water in some cases is limited. there is just a basic need, a basic humanitarian need for places that are most heavily affected and we are seeing that even here at these shelters.
it given the political climate? yeah, i think what we ll see judge chutkan do on the first offense is bring donald trump into her courtroom, she will admonish him that future violations will result in more serious action. the big question is whether she will actually revoke his bond and put him in custody pending trial. she knows what she s about. she has a background both as a defense lawyer, she s a very good judge, straight up the middle on the law. if you treat trump like anyone else that means if he violates the protective order he does lose his right to remain on bond pending trial. garrett, tom and joyce, thanks for starting us off. a big day in the courtroom. nearly eight months after attorney general merrick garland appointed robert hur as special counsel in the biden classified documents investigation, we are learning that hur s team is in talks with president biden s attorneys over the terms of a possible interview with the president. nbc white house correspondent
california or washington, d.c., quote, the parties have engaged in further plea negotiations, but are at an impasse. the government now believes that the case will not resolve short of a trial. this is from a filing, this has been filed by our producer, daniel barnes, and here it says if i can show this on camera, this is what i m now reading from. this is united states motion to voluntarily dismiss criminal tax information without prejudice so that tax charges can be brought in a district where venue lies. paul, i interrupted you, but you and joyce are the lawyers among us and i can monica has something to add as well. joyce, why don t you pick it up and then paul as well. let s kick this back and forth. it s precisely as paul was saying. this breakdown of this plea agreement is iexplicable how
