Soil in nearly a decade, we talk to the current commander of the International Space station. Its a big deal, but first, heres todays eye opener, your world in 90 seconds. We dont want to be a national embarrassment. You have a 90some odd degree day yesterday, okay . Its memorial day weekend. The beaches are open. President trump back on the golf course this memorial day crowds packed beaches alarm something of the nations top Health Officials.

Of course, thank you for joining us. Cnn prime time with laura coates starts right now. Wow, that was a really fascinating interview. Weve all been leaning in to say what bill barr had to say. A lot of wanting to see what he had to say. Thank you for joining us here in washington, d. C. Its a Capitol On High alert tonight . Why . Because the nation is bracing for the arrest and arraignment of a former president. Should i say again the third time in three months. He will appear in Court Tomorrow as expected, and now his third indictment on charges of trying to overturn an election. And we learned on cnn the Secret Service has already done a walk through of the courthouse and Law Enforcement is even monitoring any potential threats. Meantime, everyone, were getting an early look at what his potential Defense Strategy might be including whats called this is not my term but the dilution defense, that he actually believed his own lies. Plus the suggestion hes about to throw his Legal Advise
But we are, again, expecting him to come down with some of those aides and advisors, with those lawyers, and head over to the courthouse. Im told by a number of advisors, they do not believe its going to be a long there he is. Theres the former president coming out. Stepping down.

Are still talking. Nbc news has confirmed when former nypd commissioner will meet with prosecutors. What his lawyer told us. A whole lot of questions and a whole lot to talk about. Lets start with reporting. Ryan riley is outside District Courthouse in d. C. Ken dilanian is at the justice department. Here in new york, dasha burns and lisa ruben.
