Kind of a preview of how shell run her court and this case. And in deciding whether to grant Special Counsel jack smiths request for protective order limiting what the disgraced expresident can and cannot say publicly about the case, judge chutkan cuts through Talking Points like a hot knife through butter. On the First Amendment protections, they are so fond of citing, mr. Trump, like every american, has a First Amendment right to free speech. But that right is not absolute. Adding that without a protective order, the disclosure of discovery materials could lead to witnesses being harassed or otherwise interfering with a fair trial. What about the fact that trump is running for president. And chutkan did not mince words on that eithe saying, this is a criminal trial and i will not take into consideration the impact will have for have for a political came on either side. He will have all of the rights hesen tieptled to. The existence is not going to have any bearing on my decision. I i
Again. And good evening, welcome to politicsnation. Tonights lead, up close and personal. Right now, im reflecting on my exclusive interview this week with Vice President Kamala Harris who i joined at the white house this week ahead of two events. The 60th Anniversary of the March On Washington, which i will be leading with ronald came the third and his beautiful active wife that on august 26th i will be meeting with them as head of National Action network. And andrea waters, came head of the drum major institute. And then of course, the other event is the 2024 election. Just 15 months away. And the heart of both matters are the dueling challenges that democrats face to both retain a black vote that appears to some jeopardy and to protect black voters against republicanled Voter Suppression efforts. And the growing dangers posed by the president ial candidacy of donald trump. So tonight appears to be on the cusp of a fourth indictment. Possibly as early as next week, this one coming fr
Donald trumps legal team responds, accusing the Special Counsel of going after trumps First Amendment rights. And now both sides are facing a new deadline. Brand new exclusive reporting. U. S. Officials just briefed on the ukrainian counteroffensive are now calling the progress being made against russia, sobering. Not in a good way. The challenges that ukraine is facing. And a violent brawl in alabama goes viral. A group of white boaters accused of jumping a black Security Guard and then a fullblown fight escalated on the river front. Warrants are now filed as demands for justice grow. Im omar jimenez with kate bolduan and john berman. Cnn news central starts right now. Special counsel jack smith and Donald Trumps legal team now face a 3 00 p. M. Deadline today to respond to the judge over seeing the 2020 election case. At issue now is how much and under what conditions evidence can be publicly disclosed ahead of this historic trial. Trumps legal team not surprisingly is fighting for l
That does it for me. Thank you so much for the privilege of your time. I hope to see you later tonight on nbc nightly news. Stay where you are, the The Katie Phang Show starts now. I am katie phang , live from Telemundo Studios in miami, florida here is the week that was. The u. S. Supreme court today unanimously ruled that states cannot remove former President Trump from their ballots. They call it Super Tuesday for a reason. Racking up primary wins across the country from california to maine nikki haley said to drop out after winning one state on Super Tuesday. Budget and is now up to donald trump to earn the votes of those in our party and beyond it who did not support him. I hope he does not. In february, 2021 shortly after the attack on the capitol building, i said i would support former President Trump if he were the nominee of the party and he obviously will be the nominee of our party. I will leave the senate at the bottom of this year. In the bottom of my heart, thank you for
Up next. Tonight on the reidout and like any mom, im going to do a pivot Out Of Nowhere into a shockingly violent story about sex trafficking. And rest assured, every detail about it is real, except the year, where it took place, and who was president when it happened. Snl turns to Scarlett Johansson to mock alabama senator katie britts wildly misleading screed on immigration. But the truth is, Immigration Reform has failed again and again because of the Rightwing Echo Chamber from Rush Limbaugh to donald trump. Meanwhile, donald trump is again lavishing praise on his autocratic role models because he really, really, really wants that kind of power for himself. But we begin tonight with a big lie. No, not the big lie. Another lie. Something that we heard in senator katie britts response to president bidens state of the Union Address last week. Now, you remember during the alabama senators rather odd remarks, there was this moment when things got really, really dark. I traveled to the d
