it s been a long time coming. a manhattan grand jury votes to indict donald trump, making him the first former president ever charged with a crime. there is no crime it s a bad act. i ll speak to cy vance who first opened this litigation this is legal voodoo. the gop, rallies to his defense before knowing the specifics of the actual criminal charges he s facing. this is nothing short of a political prosecution. will the twice-impeached former president continue to be seen as a positive force inside the gop? politically it s a it s going to be damaging, i think, to the republican party. and what will this indictment do to our already divided politics i ll talk to leading as the march madness tournament comes to a close i ll talk centrist joe manchin of west virginia and pay to play. as the march madness tournament comes to a close, i ll talk to ncaa president of former republican governor of massachusetts charlie baker on the challenge of how to pay c
they just decided to do it. they are worried about security? they recently obtained evidence. what does the committee know now that they didn t know before? meanwhile, the doj investigation is heating up to. the lawyer that told then president trump that michael parents can block the election, spoiler alert, they could not. the lawyer, john eastman says, they sees his phone and got access to his account. here is a video. it happened the same day the day rated joseph clark s home. more to come on all of that. plus, chaos on the views of all of this country. in the wake of the roe v wade reversal, the latest, south carolina. a federal judge allowing the state to ban abortions beginning around six weeks. that makes at least 10 states that will band or have severe restrictions. another fort teen were banned with certain or likely. nearly half of this country, a right that americans have had for almost 50 years, is vanishing. outrage is growing over a court that seems to be ou
of how the trump organization either lied or or in their on their business records? well, i think, chuck, again, i don t want to get into our deliberations, but we have historically filed cases of false documentation elevating them to felonies when federal statutes were involved with lawt it it s never been done, that i know of, with regard to federal election law, which was quite a specific area of law, but i think the question is not so much why didn t i do it or we did it, but why this district attorney is doing it, and that really requires us to be patient and to wait. guarantee you this process isn t going to be accelerated by us talking about it and it s going to be moved by the court and i guarantee you the court will want this to move quickly. would this case be stronger?
