tonight on the reidout my goal, this is not revenge. what this is is account ability. i don t want to see anyone including donald trump indicted, incarcerated simply because i fundamentally disagree with them this is all about accountability he needs to be held accountable for his dirty deed michael cohen testified before a grand jury. and with the walls seeming to be closing in, trump is once again calling for an investigation of the investigation. also tonight, president biden reassures americans that their money is safe in the bank, after two recent bank failures and we ll look at the role trump era deregulation played in the financial havoc in silicon valley we begin tonight with mike pence. a former vice president who quite possibly is most famous for his tongue biting silence. but believe it or not, mike pence used to talk for a living. seriously, he was a right-wing talk radio host in the 90s, true story meaning it was once his job to say what he thought.
york grand jury about hush money payments to stormy daniels and whether there s an indictable offense there. the new york times says criminal charges are likely, and the star witness testifying before the grand jury for over three hours today. yes, it s someone you probably recognize if you follow the news, michael cohen, who was a loyal trump lawyer until he wasn t, who served hard time for a related offense in the federal courts this is a grand jury presentation that the grand jury could be reaching its conclusion cohen expected to come back for more testimony wednesday if you re thinking a lot changed last week, that seems to be the case if you re thinking it is barrelling forward this week, that seems to be the case. and he also spoke outside of the grand jury proceeding. i feel fine i have been dealing with the same issues now for more than five years, so i feel fine this is all about accountability he needs to be held accountable for his dirty deeds. it s the end
have ever heard one. right now, of course, pence is still fighting a subpoena from jack smith about telling the truth, which raises the question, why give public speeches that continue to litigate this if you won t just go in and help the government itself protect itself from future coups with accountability for the last one in other words, mr. pence, how will history hold trump accountable if you won t even hold yourself accountable and sit down for a day and tell the truth under oath that is a big question now, as always, i invite you to join me online if you want more than just the hour of the beat. you can find me @arimelber or at arimelber.com. that s arimelber.com o oor or @arimelber or keep it locked on msnbc with that in mind, keep it locked right now the reidout with joy reid starts now
