tonight on the reidout i was asked by the u.s. attorney s office in the southern district to stand down on our investigation, which had commenced involving the trump organization and i was somewhat surprised after mr. cohen pleaded guilty that the federal government did not proceed on the areas in which it asked me to stand down. former manhattan d.a. cy vance revealed why it has taken so long to get to this point just hours from the fingerprinting of the first criminally indicted former president. and as we have been seeing all day, trump s strategy is to turn this humiliating event in his life into a media spectacle. omarosa, who knows a thing or two about trump and spectacle, joins me tonight to discuss. and that is where we begin tonight, on the eve of a legal reckoning for donald trump in new york city. trump made an ignominious return to his former hometown today ahead of his history making day in court tomorrow. as the first american president ever charged
of other lawsuits that are coming at him. and i think he s going to default to violence. he s going to inseptember people to rise up in his name, so this cartoonish buffoonery that surrounds him has some very real dangers embedded in it i think we have to watch for that and his enablers aren t just boris epstein and hogan ghiblis of the world they re members of the republican party as well marjorie taylor greene and jim jordans, and there s a real failure in leadership right now within the gop to call him out on the attacks he is launching against specific institutions, including the courts and including, omarosa, this d.a. it just so happens two out of the three prosecutors, three out of the four, actually, if you include the state a.g. in new york, are african american and you know, we have talked about this before. his strange place on race. so he s got that obvious place
needs to get on board. if donald trump runs the party then i guess you could say his chief enforcer is marjorie taylor greene who i would argue is far more powerful than kevin mccarthy. nobody cares about kevin mccarthy. she s still out there tripling down on required mask wearing is equal to the holocaust. kevin said this is wrong. not nice to say. doesn t strike me that will do anything to hold her back now that he has an orange man to defend from legal consequences in new york. your thoughts. look, i think that s exactly right. consider what donald trump will be able to do with the grass roots fund raising. if these indictments do come down, that s going to mean more and more money into donald trump s existing organizations. we saw evidence of that how well marjorie taylor greene did fund raiding in first quarter.
