08-something-year-old justices on the court are going to retire from the court, past precedent would suggest that tomorrow could be the day which we will get that announcement. in the vast majority of modern supreme court retirements, they are announced to either take effect at the end of a supreme court term or they are announced at the close of a supreme court term. so if you are planning on this being the summer in which we get a supreme court vacancy and a senate fight over who to put on the court, we will likely tomorrow is the day we will most likely learn that news. it all happens at once. joining us now is my friend, ron suskind who is a pulitzer prize-winning journalist and the author of many books about u.s. presidential administrations. three of his best selling books
nbc news and others have now confirmed that grand jury in manhattan filed criminal charges against the trump organization and its cfo allen weisselberg and those indictments will be unsealed tomorrow afternoon. the post is reporting that mr. weisselberg is expected to surrender tomorrow morning at the manhattan district attorney s office and that he s expected to be arraigned later in the day before a state judge in a new york courtroom. the trump organization will also be arraigned. it s hard to arraign an entity. at least it s hard to imagine that. the way it works in person is that the entity will be represented in court by one of its attorneys. a person familiar with the matter tells nbc news the indictments are expected to be unsealed at around 2:00 p.m. eastern time tomorrow. because the indictments are sealed until then, we don t know exactly what the charges will be. there s been lots of reporting that the charges are expected to focus on tax-related alleged felonies. the trump
years in prison after he was convicted of three counts of aggravated indecent assault in 2018. he will never serve another day of the three- to ten-year sentence he had initially been given at the court overturned that conviction today. they overturned it on the grounds that a previous pennsylvania prosecutor, who happens to be the bizarre, trump impeachment lawyer, bruce caster, bruce caster, when he was serving as a prosecutor in pennsylvania had apparently given bill crosby an unwritten, unofficial, though apparently binding assurance that he wouldn t be prosecuted. and on the basis of that, the supreme court today overturned his ultimate prosecution and deemed that he cannot be tried on those charges again. a bizarre turn in one of the highest profile prosecutions of the me too era today, and bill cosby is tonight out of prison and at his home in suburban
don t understand. if there is a broader scheme that prosecutors are pursuing here and that they want to try and court, why wouldn t we learn about it all at once? so the quick answer with respect to weisselberg is that he is being charged because they want to put a squeeze on him and there is nothing more persuasive than charges that are actually filed in order to convince a target to actually flip and give the goods on other targets. so it could very well be that weisselberg is being charged now in order to turn him so that he can then provide evidence against a bigger fish likely donald trump himself. with respect to the organization, it could be part of the same answer. it could be that the facts are still developing. but as i said, i do suspect we will see tomorrow this is not just a small penny ante, or as
the news in politics, which is the question of whether a supreme court justice might announce retirement tomorrow. justice stephen breyer s name has been in the headlines because he has been facing calls to voluntarily retire, step down from his seat on the court. those calls coming from people who worry about a repeat of what happened in 2016 when republicans blocked president obama from filling a vacant seat. also people worried about what happened when ruth bader ginsburg died while still sitting on the court at a time when republicans controlled the united states senate. and that is how we got president trump s third supreme court justice nominee on the supreme court. in a worst-case scenario if justice breyer should step down after the senate is retaken by the republicans, nobody believes that president biden will be allowed by the republicans to put his own nominee on the court. justice breyer has given no hints that he is going. from the outside, we can
