good day. i m chris jansing live at msnbc in new york city. another new first for this country. the first trial of a sitting president s son getting under way in delaware just days after the end of donald trump s historic trial. what will the impact be both personally for the president and politically for his re-election. we ll go live to the courthouse where jury selection has been going on since 8:30. plus, the man who became the face of the covid response, dr. anthony fauci coming face-to-face with his congressional critics for the first time since leaving his post. the demand by one democrat for an apology, and what provoked an emotional response. the latest drama from capitol hill coming up. potentially devastating news for the families of israeli hostages. prime minister netanyahu saying today that president biden got it wrong on the details of a potential peace deal. and in his words, the claim that israel has agreed to a cease-fire without its conditions bein
mandates for children under 5. going back to what i said before, all of that is in the context of at the time mask mandates for children under 5, there s scientific evidence supporting that? democrats defended dr. fauci for his work during the pandemic. i want to join my colleague from florida in apologizing to you that some of our colleagues in the united states states house of representatives seem to want to drag your name through the mud. they re treating you, dr. fauci, like a convicted felon. actually you probably wish they were treating you like a convicted felon. they treat convicted felons with love and admiration. nbc s ali vitali is on capitol hill for us. tim miller is back. ali, give us a sense of the mood in the room, and another point of tension there, the discussion about social distancing policies during the pandemic in addition to what we just heard which was
verdict. 37% say he should not. tim miller is back with me. also joining us, nbc s dasha burns. talk to me about trump s comments over the weekend. it was a long interview. very long interview, 90-some minutes. there are these two parallel tracks. the legal piece of it, that process that potentially could be a serious threat to former president trump, and then there s the political track. they are trying to take as much advantage as they can of actually that possibility of jail time. though if you talk to lawyers, they say that s very unlikely. he s out there fund-raising knows, text messages, social media, calling himself a political prisoner. he sent a fund-raising email earlier today saying they want to put me in prison for 187 years which, of course, even if
