now. hi everyone, good to see. you breaking news on a senate deal on immigration. new comments from mitch mcconnell, pouring water on a possible vote this week. immigration is at the heart of a disturbing new campaign message from donald trump, a vocal and painful rhetoric from the past. elena could ve come straight out of the 1940s. we ve got a lot of work to do. they re poisoning the blood of our country, that s what they re doing, the poison mental into solutions, prisons all over the world. not just in south america, not in the country to think about, but all over the world they are coming to our country. from africa, asia, all over the world. after getting in that verdict for rudy giuliani s lies, could two election workers have their sights set on trump next? one of their lawyers says, stay tuned. all the cards are on the table, we re not ruling anything out right now. and we are constantly looking at what we need to do next to put these folks in a place, or a
taylor swift got her fifth nomination for the taylor swift eras tour film. our coverage continues with katy tur reports right now. good to be with you, i m katy tur. special counsel jack smith is going directly to the supreme court, asking the justices to weigh in on his election interference case. smith is looking for a ruling on whether a president has immunity from crimes while committed in office. it is a potentially very risky move. after all the justices say, yes, he is immune, the case is over. kaput. but if they rule no, it cuts off donald trump s ability to delay the trial through appeals. so big risk, big reward. meaning he would go to court on or close to the march trial date, thereby giving voters a chance to hear the evidence against the man who is asking to be president again. jack smith writing, quote, it is of imperative public importance that respondent s claims of immunity be resolved by this court and that the respondent s trial proceed as promptly as p
