the gloves are truly off tonight in the republican race for president. john king in for anderson tonight. thank you for your time. even if you re just paying a little attention to the republican race, it is hard to notice ron desantis and the former president openly throwing haymakers. never mind the old 11 d commandment. donald trump, of course, has never bought into that, and now it seems his fellow floridian doesn t either. over the last 48 hours, governor desantis has gone straight after the gop front-runner, most recently today on this conservative talk show. he s been attacking me by moving left, so this is a different guy than 2015/2016. 2 million illegal aliens he wanted to amnesty. we both faced covid-19, and we both responded in the way we did. he responded by elevating anthony fauci and really turning over the reins to dr. fauci. under the trump administration, he enacted a bill, basically a jailbreak bill. as for mr. trump, there s this, and, yes, listen close

might flee or be dangerous, you would arrest them. but i think in the case of donald trump where everybody knows where this is coming, his lawyer would get a call, saying he s been indicted, when can he come in the next couple of days but he does have to get booked that has toby done, so i imagine it could be done with secret service present. that s msnbc legal analyst barb mcquade laying out what could happen if donald trump is indicted by the manhattan district attorney. it comes as trump s former fixer gives testimony to a grand jury and the woman he s accused of paying off meet with prosecutors. meanwhile there s also new reporting out of georgia on another phone call that the former president made to an election official there in the aftermath of the 2020 election and also ahead the latest on the american drone that was damaged by russian jets over the black sea. it appears the aggressive action was approved by the kremlin. good morning and welcome to way too ea
