Eastern, 8 00 a. M. Pacific. Im Jose Diazbalart. We begin with Breaking News in former president Donald Trumps legal troubles. Just in last hour, the new York Court of appeals rejected trumps efforts to overturn the Gag Order in his hushmoney criminal case. Joining us now, msnbc legal correspondent lisa ruben. Good morning.
