taken them, so they re now four years behind spacex. i think now that they have gotten this flight off, i agree with derrick, this was a critical mission not just for nasa, but for boeing to demonstrate, to give them confidence to demonstrate they have the capability to do this. we re far from complete. we have got to get off the centar, do some tests on the cst 100 over the next day and tomorrow hopefully we ll have a perfect docking, spend eight days on the international space station and then undock and come home. the ultimate test is how does the spacecraft handle the intense heat and pressure of re-entry, and then as the landing out in the desert, does it go the way we want it to go. only once they have touched down out in the desert ten days from now or eight days from now will we be able to take our breath and say we had a successful flight. such a good point as we watch these live images and they continue their mission, their journey into space at this very moment.
much. joyce, if you would, stay with us for another story we re also following, just moments ago, manhattan d.a. alvin bragg s office filed their opposition to a request by donald trump s legal team to have a gag order lifted in the criminal hush money case. on tuesday, trump attorney todd blanche said basis for the gag order no longer exists and now that the trial is over. so, joyce, what are the odds that judge revokes this gag order and what does alvin bragg s position weigh in on that decision? right. so bragg s position here is that rather than taking this motion up immediately, the judge should put it on the same schedule as the rest of the post trial motions in this case. which would call for trump to file a brief midmonth, and for the people to file their brief at the end of the month on the 29th. it is very likely that justice merchan will adopt that position. there needs to be time to brief these issues and what the d.a.
kind of comes full circle back to biden campaign. your thoughts? it sounds like biden has some political operatives, whether it is his attorney general or at his secretary of state, tony blinken who are political operatives going out of the way to protect the biden family. trace: yeah, lastly, mark adds, avoided going before the house judiciary committee. the second district court ruling was this. this has been appealed. there s now a stay out of the court. the judge was telling alvin bragg the question before the court at this time is whether bragg has a legal basis to quash a congressional subpoena that was issued with a valid legislative person. and eating thing he does not. so bragg is going to drag this out but it appears that he has kind of backed into a corner. there is no question that congress has the oversight and power. bragg is using federal funds to
so you can put even more cash in the bank during these uncertain times. martha: it s the latettes twist in the feud between manhattan d.a. alvin bragg and house republicans that say they want answers around the indictment of former president trump who is now a candidate for the republican nomination for president. so bragg is now suing house judiciary chair jim jordan after jordan subpoenaed one of bragg s former prosecutors who bragg might not actually want to testify before congress. we ll talk about that when jim jordan joins me live in moments. first, bryan llenas joins us to get us up to speed on the back story here. hi, bryan. hi, martha. house judiciary committee chairman jim jordan is facing a
and co anchor of state of the union. so ryan picking up really there where carol left off when we look at this, so bragg asserts that jordan has no constitutional oversight here, right? he is totally overstepping, and also, you ve got jordan s pointing to this $5000 is chara just laid out and federal funds, which he says the da s office used in this investigation into president trump. who has firmer legal ground here. so bragg has a lot of firm ground. it s unusual because in many ways the courts do defer to congress s powers to engage in oversight. part of the issue here is that he needs jim jordan needs a legislative purpose. he has shifted the rationale for why he needs he is interested in the case. there s also this delicate dance that has to be made with congress and however they re trying to subpoena is called an accommodation process. but jordan has kind of blown through that. i don t think he s being advised by oversight lawyers. i think he s more thinking about tv screens, so
