greetings, everyone. i am symone sanders-townsend in for stephanie ruhle. tonight, we heard from writer e. jean carroll just days after a new york jury found that trump must pay her more than $83 million for defaming her. carroll and her attorneys spoke to rachael maddow tonight, admitting she was nervous about physically facing trump in court. but one moment, that changed. amazingly, i looked out and he was nothing, he was nothing. he was a phantom. there was some people around him who were giving him about, but he himself was nothing. it was an astonishing discovery for me. he is nothing. we don t need to be afraid of him. he can be knocked out. as big as that 83 million -dollar verdict is, donald trump may have an even bigger penalty to soon deal with. we are expecting a decision in the new york civil fraud trial in the coming days. now, the new york attorney general is asking trump and his companies to be fined $370 million. and there are questions as to whether tru
i am michael steele in for my good friend ali velshi. it s the summer of grievance for donald trump. he s already been indicted twice this year. and the former president is still facing the possibility of being indicted with even more criminal charges in multiple ongoing investigations over the coming months. but rather than focus his efforts on his legal defense and actually finding lawyers willing to represent him, he has chosen to litigate his case on the campaign trail instead. and as we have witnessed in recent months, trump s third presidential bid well, it is unlike anything we ve seen before in american politics. this independence day weekend, trump took over to pickens, south korea caroline, a small sleepy town near the blue ridge mountains, population of about 3000 people. he was supposedly there to campaign, but mostly, he was there to complain. for most of his speech that is what he did. he complained about his legal situation and vowed to protect his supporters f
records at mar-a-lago. according to the new york times, one of trump s attorneys signed a statement back in june, telling the doj that all sensitive material at mar-a-lago had been returned. that is according to four sources with knowledge of the document, which nbc has not reviewed. on monday, the fbi seized 11 sets of classified documents from trump s post presidency home, including records with the highest levels of security clearance. the search warrant on friday reveals the doj is in the throes of investigating possible obstruction of justice and violations of the espionage act. one potential charge carries a punishment of up to 20 years in prison. i want to be clear here. when it comes to potential violations of the espionage act, despite its name, it comprises much more than actual spying, including to refuse to return classified documents. breaking news from capitol hill, short time ago, the chairs of the house oversight and intelligence committees, requesting a damag
from us. and of course, we have to work within the law, within the dictates of the court. but we are going to do things. and we are already starting. i ll give you one quick example. we are going to move into recruitment earlier in the education pathway, maybe as early as middle school, so that families, underrepresented groups, marginalized groups, we don t see themselves in the medical profession, can begin to dream about this early on. and therefore, half more people from those groups applying and thinking about medical schools and careers in general. so, we need more, work and we need to do it within the law. but, yes, the your answer to your question is yes, yes, yes. that s a plan i highly endorse, dr. what skorton. i love the idea of bringing it to the middle schools and working it up to the system, getting young african americans and latino kids thinking about seeing themselves in those professions. dr. uché blackstock, and dr.
a very important study that dr. blackstock cited about those counties, that black folks live longer even if they didn t see a black physician, because just a more diverse workforce in the county has a salutary effect on health care. so that when she s making is critically important. let s talk about that in the context of, you know, we already mentioned about 5% of practicing physicians are black, despite the fact that 14% of the american population is african american. does that alone indicate that the country still needs that affirmative action in the health care space to make sure that we grow that population of doctors to address exactly what dr. blackstock was just referencing. we need to keep diversifying the health care classes. we need to keep diversifying the biomedical research training classes. we need to diversify the health care workforce. the supreme court of the united states has taken a tool away
