I almost wanted to encourage him to take a few minutes out of 9 00 to tell the people. Preached the gospel. Its good stuff. Theres a lot in there. Its wild. It really is. Its true and sort of were programmatic policies and people sense of who actually gets them or who was on their side and how they interact. Is pretty interesting. Its like in hindsight obamas total acquiescence to the Label Obamacare seems quite wise as a political strategy. All right, my friend, have a good weekend. You are done now. Thanks to you athome for joining me tonight. Donald trump is facing 91 criminal counts in four different criminal cases. Right now prosecutors in all four of those cases are fighting to get to trial before election day. So far only one of those trials is on track to actually make it. Then handed it attorney alvin bragg is preparing to go to trial this month in the case over the hush money payments to adult film actress. While that case moves forward, the others not so much. The federal el
While that case moves forward, the others not so much. The federal elections case brought by special counsel jack smith suffered a huge setback this week when the Supreme Court stepped in and delayed the start date of that trial. Potentially pushing it back until after the november election, which leads to other trials. Today we got significant updates on both of those cases. Today in florida, for the first time ever, both donald trump and jack smith were in public court together. For the case over trumps handling of classified documents at maralago. Among other things, they were there to discuss when trumps trial in that case would begin. The special counsels team requested that the trial begin july 8th, giving them sufficient time to complete the trial before the election. Trumps team begrudgingly suggested the trial could begin august 12th, which prosecutors were quick to pounce on, saying one thing the parties agree on is that this case could be tried this summer.

plus, we just got some exclusive video a president widen and his former boss at a fundraiser last night sounding off on the supreme court. i will ask congressman jamie raskin about all the ways in which the rule of law is in trouble. and some thoughts from me about the aftermath of hunter biden s conviction and everything it tells us about his dad. . okay. here is a really important thing to remember. donald trump can t take a wrecking ball to american democracy all by himself. he will need lots of help to do it. he will need help from people in power who don t care about anything but pleasing him. and right now, we can see how much help he will get if he manages to get back to the white house. just a couple of days ago, trump made his first trip back to capitol hill since his supporters mobbed it on january 6. brutally attacking police officers and threatening to hang the vice president. how do you think who put all their lives in danger? well, obviously, with a birthday cak
whether he can keep most of those promises, the latest on the new deal being signed later this hour meant to secure a ten-year military alliance. plus, we are the party of common sense, the words of former president donald trump as he travels to capitol hill and tries to unite house republicans. one source inside today s meeting tells nbc news he seemed to be trying to make peace. and following the supreme court s decision not to restrict access to the abortion pill, the president and democrats insist the fight for reproductive freedom is far from over. so what happens now? more on all of that coming up: but we start with president biden working to underscore america s commitment to ukraine by signing a ten-year security agreement with president zelenskyy, although how much it will ultimately be worth and how long it could last is still a very open question. the two world leaders expected to sign the deal this hour. now, on paper it means the u.s. commits to keep traini
also, it s already pushing 100 degrees in las vegas, and it s only going to get worse. the stark new warning on global temperatures from the united nation, and who officials there think should foot the bill in the fight. our nbc news reporters are following all of the latest developments and we begin with msnbc legal correspondent lisa rubin on trump s new york gag order. so trump s lawyers are asking the judge to lift the order. the d.a. is opposing it. what are we expecting here? well, the d.a. s office, chris, has let the judge know that they would like to submit real briefs, meaning extended argument with case citations and the like on june 13th and june 27th. those are not coincidentally the same dates that briefs are due first from trump s lawyers and then from the d.a. with respect to his sentence. what i think will happen here is that the gag order will remain in place but will be significantly narrowed, and when i think about who will be let free from the gag order
