billions of dollars you can burn a lot of it to turns out. alex wagner tonight starts right now. good evening, alex. i odmean, listen, between th two of us, buddy, one of us tweets a lot less than the other person. i like to tweet. i m a poster to my veins. but t if i may i think i have a little more self-awareness than elon musk. a little bit. okay, okay. it sy, cross talk so we can t really get into it. oh, i can t believe you re not agreeing. i support the self-awareness and certainly the conversation. thank you as always. and thank you for joining us this evening. so summer plans they re often up in the air, but you can go ahead and you can circle this date in pen june 1test. that is the deadline for congress to reach a deal or the u.s. is plunged into financial catastrophe. it s an importantan day, and, m, it is really coming up, really around the corner. there was some hope the debt ceiling deadline couldth be pusd off through financial hocus-pocus, but no s
pages, in fact. but before trump can get any of it, he needs to understand the rules. and the rules here, they prevent trump from discussing, describing or posting on social media any evidence obtained during the discovery process and block him from viewing documents anywhere but in his lawyers offices. so, yes, this is a far cry from the days trump could just call bill barr well, we have no idea what trump said to bill barr, but there were probably not rules like this in place. fani willis down in georgia filed rules to trump s demand her office be dismissed from the investigation into efforts to subvert the 2020 election. this is what d.a. willis wrote. it any of the elements put

there was a time in donald trump s life when he could use his presidential muscle to basically make his allies at the department of justice sort of fall in line to make sure investigators didn t investigate the wrong things, but donald trump is not president anymore, and the prosecution leading the investigation these days including alvin bragg in new york and fani willis in georgia they re not falling in line, quite the opimate after trump was indicted in manhattan for falsifying business records in order to conceal a hush money payment, trump s team demanded the former president be provided a bill of particulars. that is a very detailed formal written statement explaining the charges against him. team trump also wanteded the manhattan d.a. to explain again in that bill of particulars what second crime trump might have committed in falsifying those business records, and that is because that second crime is
