about that on august 28th. that s the first real conference in the case. i imagine we re not going to hear a second before that deadline date from the trump team, given that they appear to be wanting to push this down the line as much as we can. we see, delay, delay, delay, is their motus. let s talk about south florida, the pleadings, why was only one of the coconspirators able to plead. nauta pleaded, the other gentleman did not. it s ground hog s day, everybody in the case has to retain local counsel as well as their chosen counsel. they need a south florida lawyer, somebody who s licensed to practice in the southern district of florida to represent them and serve as lead counsel. carlos came to court today with somebody he intends to retain but has not been formally retained. is that strategy, slow it down, slow it down, slow it
netanyahu not to go through with this. how is israel what s your sense of how this relationship with israel and the united states could change? or just how israel going to be perceived differently going forward? or is this something that will come and go? well, there s clearly a lot of tension between the biden administration and netanyahu. they ve known each other for a long time, but the irritation here from u.s. diplomats that netanyahu refuses to slow this process down at the very least. but he had plenty of options over the last few weeks to water the provision down, slow it down, and the fact he charged forward and passed it yesterday, you re right biden s remarks have win unusually directed, but you don t see any practical consequences of that at this stage. there s plenty of evidence all
told just days before that trump was a target. today, we learned trump received another target letter. this one from the january 6th investigation. so we are now officially on indictment watch. congressman dan goldman, democrat of new york, the former assistant united states attorney for the southern district of new york. he was the lead counsel in the first impeachment of the ex president. he joins me now. congressman, good to see you. thank you for being with us this evening. you too. let s start with your reaction to the news to donald trump being informed he s a target in the january 6th interview you are a former prosecutor, intimately involved with the impeachment of donald trump. i m sure no surprise to you, but it is now happened. how do you feel about it? i think what we ve seen over the last several months as the special counsel s investigation has been really ratcheting up, they had to go to court a lot to get testimony. they were able to apparently successfully do i
defendants whose defense lawyers schedules and various other issues that might arise from a multi defendant case, slow it down. but i would be very surprised if the special counsel did not include all of the evidence that he believes to be sufficient to prove a charge beyond a reasonable doubt. and the issue, of course, is not only what donald trump s defense lawyers do, but we will also be very interested to see what his taxpayer funded defense lawyers, also known as house republicans, do in the coming days and weeks in response to yet another indictment of donald trump. let me ask you about matt, gates who says he is planning to raise a bill to defund the special counsel s investigation. what do you understand to be the legitimacy of that sort of an effort and congress? and what do you make of it? there is no legitimacy. it s a ploy. it s a charade.
him. this is him going across the board. and i think that s the importance of this investigation because fundamentally, it matters greatly. and it is a shame, i have to say, that the republican party has decided that their narrative, over and over again, is to undermine this investigation, and undermine the department of justice. michael, how much of these distinctions about this crime versus that crime and the series of it matter to republicans anymore. and i m not talking about maga republicans, i m not talking about the immovable crowd that will jump off any mountain or bridge for donald trump. i m talking about existing republicans who maybe thought the impeachment was too much, or that the charges from manhattan or too much, or the mar-a-lago thing was too much do they get in your opinion, that this is actually the thing, the undermining of democracy is something that someone has to be held to account for in america? i think they do. they struggle and the challenge is what to
