presidents are not kings and donald trump is not the president. if you take the adage and you believe as we all do if you believe in democracy that no one is above the law then donald trump should not get any type of specialized treatment just because he happened to occupy the oval office. and especially after he goes through our judicial process and he is found guilty by a jury of his peers for either this case, the pending mar-a-lago case, the manhattan da s case and the imminent idictment by fulton county. if the process runs to its logical conclusion, which is a conviction and a sentencing then i don t think home arrest or house arrest is the same thing that you and i would get if we were convicted of these crimes. and i think because of that i think that he s going to go to prison and whether or not secret service goes with him, i guess will be left to be seen. katie, i will leave it there.

bragg s handling of the trump indictment. todd: brooke singman will tell us more. brooke: the manhattan da is asking a judge to invalidate jim jordan s subpoenas surrounding the indictment of former president donald trump. in the lawsuit, alvin bragg calls the subpoenas brazen and unconstitutional attack by members of congress. bragg s filing reads, members of congress are not free to invade new york sovereign authority for their or mr. trump s political aims. congress has no authority to conduct oversight into district attorney bragg s exercise of duty under new york law. here is what jordan had to say in response to bragg s accusations. we have a constitutional duty to get to the facts, especially when you have district attorney interfering with the election of the united states. alvin bragg used federal funds to indict a former president for no crime and when we ask questions about it, we want to
i think his cooperation, i that other case which is ver significant when they were filing false bank records, that s where they really wan his cooperation i think it s important to say there s more. there really appears to be mor going on here than people ar potentially giving the d.a credit for at the stage of the game oh, definitely. in terms investigation. that s what s frustrating t watch. it s not just more going o with the manhattan da, you v got all these other cases goin on around the country, i think when we look back and we judge this we re gonna forget all th daily debate about the merit of the single case it s gonna fit into a larger picture. can we talk a little bi just because, to give this president case its due diligence, what s going on her in terms of the tax potentia fraud piece of the hush mone case can you talk to me about how - actually i think instead of tax fraud it s false filings
