morning joe. it is wednesday, march 29th. we have a lot to get to this hour, including a major development in the investigation into former president donald trump s efforts to overturn the 2020 election results. a federal judge has ordered mike pence to give testimony. meanwhile former trump ally chris christie appears to be willing to play the anti-trump role if he gets into the 2024 race. we ll have more on that new reporting. and we re still on so called indictment watch since the president announced, the former president, that he was going to be arrested. we ll have the latest on the manhattan grand jury s investigation into the hush money payments to a porn star. plus, an update on the continuing protests in israel, and what president biden is saying about meeting with the country s leader, along with joe, willie and me, we have the host of way too early, white house bureau chief at politico, jonathan lemire, just ran over. how does he do that? and member of
