noon pacific, good to be with you. i m jose diaz-balart in for katy tur. today, the department of justice released a long awaited report on the police response to the mass shooting at robb elementary in uvalde, texas. it was almost two years ago in may of 2022 when a mass murderer took the lives of 19 children and two teachers, and despite officers arriving on the scene just three minutes after the shooter gained entry to the school, it took 77 minutes for law enforcement to confront the lone gunman. the report is scathing. calling the response to the shooting a failure. noting that despite evidence that wounded children were in the classroom, the officers did not engage with the shooter. they didn t treat the perpetrator as an active threat, and those decisions among others may have cost lives. families were briefed before the report was made public. i spoke to kimberly whose daughter lexi died that day and asked her what she wants to see come from this report. account is
i m chris jansing live at msnbc headquarters in new york city. attack and defend. while donald trump and his allies blast away at special counsel jack smith, one of trump s former attorneys tries to explain away those classified documents. so, if they weren t originals, just copies, does that mean there s no crime? plus, the air in this city today isn t just nasty, it s historically bad. forcing the closure of everything from broadway to the bronx zoo. the thickening blanket of smoke now settling over philly, wilmington and beyond as well. so when is it going to go away? and a truly surprising decision. a pair of conservatives on the supreme court helping deliver a big win for voting rights in the deep south. we ll explain that in just a minute. we begin with federal prosecutors putting to rest any doubt about whether or not donald trump is directly in the special counsel s sights. nbc news has learned that jack smith informed trump s team on monday that their client
gillian: first possible relief over the debt threat. the house is going to vote tonight imminently on the debt extension deal to avoid a historic default on federal obligations. a lot of staunch conservatives are against this agreement which means democrats will definitely be needed to get the measure across the finish line. senior congressional correspondent chad pergram is on capitol hill tonight. hi, chad. good evening, gillian. the vote comes some time after 8:00 tonight. expect broad bipartisan support. lots of democrats will vote yes. albeit with reluctance. when trump was president, they approved every extension of the debt relief and, yet, when biden s here, no. this is extortion. but we have to deal with it, it s for the benefit of our country. and the world s economy and i will vote yes. some conservatives berated house speaker kevin mccarthy for negotiating the deal. graves negotiated the for the g.o.p. is he tired of the right torching the deal and the spe
