thank you so much for letting substance abuse your homes during these extraordinary times. we re grateful the beat with ari melber starts right now hi, ari. hi, nicolle thanks so much today we have a special report on what new york prosecutors might be eyeing on trump there s now report on that later tonight on the beat. the big legal development making waves right now is from a different legal jurisdiction from new york. it s how georgia prosecutors have been building a case against trump down there over what might be a lot more significant to a lot of people than financials in new york, which is effort to overturn the election when the foreperson spoke out, it was fascinating, an unusual development. it drew criticism from people who really care about the justice system, regardless of what she was saying critical of mr. trump, there were concerns about. that you may recall that wellin welling, right now it s not the same, but her colleagues if you will five more grand
round of leaks from several grand jurors as well as the original what portrait are we getting here number one, the volume of information they fielded as they made their recommendations to d.a. willis, and in particular, this latest cache or tranche of evidence that a merged is these phone calls, like, the idea that the former president made a call to the speaker of the georgia house asking him to do something about that i mean, that by itself is incredibly enormous and startling. i mean, that s a huge development. so, again, the sort of saying goes in these circles, that a grand jury will indict a ham sandwich there s definitely enough here for a charcuterie plate. what else would be on the plate? a little burrata, pork some fruit, some nuts perhaps. some nuts perhaps, sure. some nuts perhaps we haven t even scratched the
charcuterie plate, but we found you to be a distance from the wine that s pouring. you re a pretty sober analyst and pretty measured. so within your sober legal analyst that you find this striking is important. that call is the kind of thing, we say this sometimes, if that had drop in the a different season, if that dropped in 2012 and it was then president obama calling to shake down a state official to steal a race, right, and it stood alone, right, it s almost that trump managed to both legally and in the public imagination at times benefit from all of them piling up you re going, this is bad, but is it as bad as the other call, the other elections official what are we talking about? as for the d.a. down there, she s not a magician she cannot wave a wand and make all these grand jurors be quiet, but there seems to be over the course of time some things that are a little off down there. there were a lot of target letters sent out that didn t

one. but there were other efforts, other plots, other attempted crimes if you want to put it that way, like that smokiiing g call that trump made when he wanted to, quote, find votes that didn t exist, aka voter fraud. so look, all i want to do is this i just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have that was january 2nd. that was four days out from what became the insurrection. so that was one plan, and then the pattern of pressure fits into this broader conspiracy case it s what we ve reported on, and i told you when we first reported we would bring it back and add to it as the facts show. the green arrows, the lawsuits, the elector plot, those started out lawful trump had every right. the red arrows, what we re reporting on tonight s when you see states overturn votes, it
