congressional staffs. what do you think about that politically, joe? well, i mean, the optics aren t good but that is not kind of what happened here. what happened was, they, they basically said that the government is an employer. that the employees, could have their employer pay into the program just like every company that has over 50 employees does. and so it is basically, they are being treated the same as anybody else who works for a large company. it is just the way they did it and the delay to put it, you know, to get, to make sure that it was clear within the regulations was confusing and bad optics. it looks like congress is, you know, let, went to work for its staff but it s doing exactly what every company should do under the program. jon: charlie, i suspect you see it differently? at the end of the day the big difference is members of congress and their staff will be the only people who are enrolled
joe also faces separate charges of falsely obtaining a driver s license. he faces deportation as he s an italian citizen. not looking go ahead for these two. both remain free on $500,000 bonds each and under travel restrictions to only new york and new jersey. if convicted they could both face dozens of years in prison. i ve heard numbers upwards of 50 if they got the book slammed at them. still no word from bravo who pays their real lives. jenna: thank you. jon: sleep aids, millions of americans use them to try to get a better night s rest but now the feds are taking a new look at how they impact folks when they wake up, specifically behind the wheel. some important information for you just ahead. but we re tracking a raging wildfire out west. already it has taken a heavy toll on one popular resort town. a live report on that just minutes away. my name is lee kaufman.
jon: chief political correspondent for the washington post, thanks. thank you. jenna: unfortunately we probably have all come to expect some sort of fee, extra fee when we fly. everything from checked bags to carry-ones and cancellation fees. but now we re learning that we could start to expect the same kind of treatment when we check into a hotel? how could that be? elizabeth mcdonald joins us live. what have hotels cooked up now? looks like hotels are taking a cue from the airline industry and cooking up a whole new barrage of surprising fees that customers may have never seen before. they may do well to check out their bill when they leave the hotel because there are some surprises that are in store. look at these new fees that are hitting hotel customers. this is according to a study from new york university. you re seeing fees tore bell hop services, early departure fees and even early check-in fees.
go and lie. now if she lies, then they have the perjury charge. she has no choice. she will testify as the government wants her or she will pay consequences. it s that simple. jon: so does she get blanket protection? absolutely not. todd, i would have to respectfully disagree. this is a state court prosecution. the only immunity she has been grnted is for state court proceedings. as we all know, the federal government is a different sovereign. she could be charged with a federal crime but more importantly, the real issue here is this is not a situation where she s incurring favor with the prosecution. sh is a situation where she s in the process of doing jail time and more importantly, the prosecutor has the ability to control what is truthful testimony. so she s in a no-win situation if she does testify. so here, her best bet is keep
