was so intense about the situation, screaming out of the window that directly faced on to this house. what you re hearing right now in the background is a sort of protest going on here that seems to be perhaps focused about what s happening in the courtroom. hard to say, but people here paying a huge amount of attention to the trial, and of course, very dramatic events unfolding, christine. yeah, i ll say. okay, glad we have you there following it for us and we ll check back with you soon. thanks, nic. quite a scene there. meanwhile, in new york, jury selection resumes in the terror trial of osama bin laden s son-in-law. suleman abu ghraib is one of the highest profile al qaeda defendants to face trial in the united states. he s charged with killing and threatening more violence days after the september 11th attacks. opening statements could come as early as tomorrow. all right, this morning, new jersey governor chris christie back in the spotlight, holding a town hall to talk ab
know what we have to talk about tonight, but there s something else going on in the story. and steve kornacki is going to break it tomorrow. remember i told you that and it turns out the next day steve kornacki blew the whole story open with the dawn zimmer claims and hoboken and the superstorm sandy relief funds tied to a development project in the town, how that changed the whole story. and steve kornacki broke that story? well, steve tomorrow has another scoop. it is a different angle than what we ve learned about tonight. chris christie knew about it while it was happening. today we ve learned that the campaign manager is going to invoke the fifth amendment and refuse to comply on monday. today we have evidence, not direct evidence that chris christie s office has probably also received a subpoena and is expected to receive a subpoena from federal prosecutors looking into this matter for this
weeks ago, i said in the middle of one of these long shows about the information about the bridge scandal in new jersey, listen, we ve been covering this, you know what we have to talk about tonight, but there s something else going on in the story. and steve kornacki is going to break it tomorrow. remember i told you that and it turns out the next day steve kornacki blew the whole story open about hoboken and the superstorm sandy relief funds tied to a development project in the town, how that changed the whole story. and steve kornacki broke that story? well, steve tomorrow has another scoop. it is a different angle than what we ve learned about tonight. today we ve learned that the campaign manager is going to invoke the fifth amendment and refuse to comply on monday. today we have evidence, not direct evidence that chris christie s office has probably also received a subpoena and is
