It was so not in our play book. Major d was telling people i know youre used to this, but thats a remarkable thing to have on a constant basis. People have been waiting for four hours. It was something i didnt have the strategy. We werent able to go to work or order food. No food in the Grocery Stores.

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
and the most important thing is, it doesn t have to be absolutely true, it has to be supportable. they have to prove that i was deliberately lying, which i wasn t. you know, it s so fascinating about what he just did there. yeah, it s good stuff. good stuff. it is as if he read david french s column yesterday in the new york times talking about maga man. mm-hmm. and what it takes to be a maga man. he mentioned rudy giuliani as the prime example but listed mark meadows, kari lake, listed a number of other people who may have all done different things in the past, may have all had different backgrounds, different political ideologies, but the key was once they became infected by trump, there were two things you had to do. yeah. again, david french wrote this before rudy went on and lied again last night. he said, number one, you have to lie. the key is, if you re going to follow donald trump, if you re going to be a part of donald trump s team, you ve got to be

adolf hitler saying that immigrants are quote, poisoning the blood of this country. that is similar to phrasing you can find in hitler s manifesto. with less than a month until the first votes are cast in the 2024 republican primary, rivals aren t sitting back. we ll give you what they said in a moment. the biden campaign responding. trump goes beyond the racial dog whistles. he is quoting dictators, and vowing to enact immigration policies that are extreme, round people up by the millions, bring them to deportation camps before forcing them out of the u.s. with no opportunity for due process. it s more than just dehumanizing language. should he win reelection in 2024, he is vowing to enact dehumanizing policies. joining us now, nbc news correspondent, vaughn hillyard, who is in west palm beach, florida. nbc news white house correspondent mike memoli, and senior political report aaron blake who has closely tracked the former president s rhetoric around immigration. thank you
