democrats are not only paying for this $700 billion tax and spend package by raising taxes, super sizing the irs to bring more muscle on so they can go after taxes. the tax reduction act the senate passed over the weekends gives the irs $80 billion to add agents to their roster spending money to bring in more money. this is six times the current annual budget of the irs. half of the $80 billion goes to inflation efforts, having auditors pour over taxes with a fine tooth comb to make sure they re paying their fair share. we also empowered the irs to go after wealthy tax cheats so that we collect taxes that are already to you and owing from very wealthy people that try to hide their income. not contribute to the country. the white house and the irs commissioner insists that audit rates for anyone making less than $400,000 will not increase. but last year half hoff all irs audits were people making $75,000. republicans say there s no way that the irs can guarantee that a bee
you can t get much detail out of this. and it was approved by a judge. which does tell us something. although not what is under the redaction. so we have this unprecedented clash over federal powers, over the prerogatives of a former president. the suspicion about criminal evidence. all of this is here in the ballpark. and if you ve heard today or tonight, we know everything now and i could tell you, no we don t. we obviously have to be careful about what is redacted. we re learning new things. so i m going to go through the facts with you right now. the road map here that has been released, the affidavit, shows how agent recovered the highly classified documents and then based on that timeline and the information, they saw a grave need to go back into-n to do a search to get the rest of them. they found that the trump had, in the doj view, stolen material that involves secret clandestine human source and intelligence. that is the kind of material that is supposed to stay on
inflation reduction act into law. we ll talk about the impact it will have on families with congressman gregory meeks. we begin this very busy hour with the results of last night s critical primary races. liz cheney, once the third most powerful republican in congress, lost her primary bid last night to her trump-backed challenger by a whopping 37%. here s some of what she said about her political future in an interview with today. are you thinking about running for president? that s a decision i ll make in the coming month. i m not going to make any announcements this morning, but it s something i m thinking about and will make a decision in the coming months. a different story for another trump critic in alaska. senator murkowski finished first in her primary bid, allowing her to advance to the general race. but she won t be the only republican on the ballot. the candidate endorsed by donald trump will advance to the november midterms. here to start us off is
nbc news has confirmed he s currently in custody and is set to make his first appearance in federal court just a few minutes from now. let us get to it. joining me now is nbc news nas political reporter sahil kapur, host of the beat ari melber and barbara mcquaid. pete, i want to begin with you. this is a bit tricky territory for the d.o.j., is it not? reporter: well, it didn t seem to be in his case, in the steve bannon case, though it took the justice department almost twice as long to decide whether to pull the trigger on peter navarro on two counts, one for refusing to give documents to the committee and secondly for refusing to show up and answer questions in person to the committee. he said to an e-mail in the committee that he was powerless to act here because of the executive privilege claim by president trump. one of the problems for him, it seems to me, is that six days before he sent that e-mail, the supreme court rejected president trump s legal appeal in the
