Andrew weissmann is going to be joining us tonight with some trump news, but first i m going to tell you the most hopeful story i know. It is a story about the place where joe biden went today. The place where joe biden was applauded by grateful people from around the world. It is a dangerous place. That is the title of daniel patrick moynihan s book about his service as ambassador to the united nations in the 1970s before new york voters elected him to four terms in the senate, where i went to work for him in the 1990s.

Just in last hour, the new York Court of appeals rejected trumps efforts to overturn the Gag Order in his hushmoney criminal case. Joining us now, msnbc legal correspondent lisa ruben. Good morning. What more do we know about the Courts Decision . Reporter you know, sometimes when a court acts we see an entire opinion. Other times when they reject an application we can see as little ads one word, the word rejected or denied. This is more in that latter category.
