prosecuting trump for his role in trying to overturn the election. one of those prosecutions are one of the lawsuits that has coming out of january 6th filed by other people might produce that moment, but i don t think trump s own lawsuit will just because i don t think it s going anywhere at all. david, always appreciate your time. thank you so much for being with us. next, she wants to be california s next governor. but caitlyn jenner faces an uphill battle. if she wants to win by telling hard truths, wait until you hear what she told nbc news at cpac. plus, the billionaire space race goes supersonic. a huge test for man that could one day result in you getting to space too. more love, more adventure, more community. but with my hiv treatment, there s not more medicines in my pill. i talked to my doctor and switched to fewer medicines with dovato. dovato is for some adults who are starting hiv-1 treatment or replacing their current hiv-1 regimen. with just 2 medicines in 1 pill
the trump organization. the big question is, what ivanka would be willing to do to save herself if she s formally charged. she doesn t appear to be afraid of her father like the others are. and i do think that to keep herself out of jail she would tell on him, absolutely. meanwhile, the president is suing social media companies. trump is already fundraising. this as the washington post reports reveal trump continues to charge secret service thousands in rent, profiting from the privilege of secret service protection granted to all former presidents. joining me now, the reporter behind that skoop, david fahrenthold. trump earned over $50,000 just from renting to the secret service. can you walk me through how these costs compare to other presidents? is there any limit on what trump
can charge? there s no limit on what he can charge. the secret service is allowed to pay whatever they need to to be near the people they re protecting. for trump, since he goes to his own properties and stays there, that means they re going to be near him and they need to rent space from him at mar-a-lago in the winter and at bedminster in the summer. he can charge whatever he wants and in this case he s chosen to charge $400 a night at mar-a-lago. you ask what other ex-presidents have done this, as far as i can tell no other ex-presidents can have charged their protectors. the total spend joe biden got over seven years was equal to what trump charged the government during his first month as president. not exactly apples to apples. how is the new york indictment affecting trump s finances at large? well, the trump administration is already facing
an existential crisis. covid, the political backlash, january 6th have robbed him of a lot of things they needed to succeed, customers, vendors, lenders, lawyers. at the same time, the point of the company is slipping away. it was basically built to serve the brand and to serve the interests of one guy, and that guy trashed his brand and then basically lost interest in the company. so you put all those problems out there and then you add on top of that its cfo, the guy that runs the company day to day is under indictment. they ll be paying legal fees from now until who knows when. he could be convicted and taken out of the company that he basically runs. as you laid out beautifully about this being an existential crisis, could this investigation actually end trump s business empire? it s so hard to know because it s such an odd business run by a small set of people who are, you know, very proud and i m sure don t want to be seen as being defeated in this. the trump organization has
it s not as much of a slam dunk as it was with weisselberg. if trump s social media lawsuits move forward, he could end up on the stand answering questions about january 6th. what are the chances of him testifying? very little in this case because i feel like this florida lawsuit is not really a lawsuit. it s a pressure release in lawsuit form. i don t see that going to trial somehow. but there are other cases in georgia and possibly in the district of columbia that are where people are looking at prosecuting trump for his role in trying to overturn the election. one of those prosecutions are one of the lawsuits that has coming out of january 6th filed by other people might produce that moment, but i don t think trump s own lawsuit will just because i don t think it s going anywhere at all. david, always appreciate your time. thank you so much for being with us. next, she wants to be california s next governor. caitlyn jenner faces an uphill battle if she wants to win by tell
