Coverage of national and international news, including breaking stories. Asking you questions about this criminal matter, you dont have to be sworn under oath. The second that you talk to them and that you lie to them and they can prove that you lied to them, in other words, that you knew what you were telling them was in fact a lie, then they can charge you with that. So thats something thats also been included here in this case. Overall, a 30page indictment, this is a pretty significant step forward in a criminal prosecution. Tom winter, always on top of these developments with the fbi for us. Thanks very much. To help me break down the charges, im joined by liz holtzman, a longtime congresswoman who voted to impeach president nixon. Im also joined by Barbara Mcquade whos also a legal contributor for us an is outside the alexandria courthouse because she has been following very closely the Paul Manafort trial which we are going to get to here in a few minutes. So, liz, i want to star
night saying why are they bombing the houthis. this has been a slow roll conflict since the israeli attack in gaza. and the reason why is because the houthis have been saying that we re only doing this to support the palestinians. that is not true. they are attacking boats and ships that have nothing to do with the conflict. these are not israeli ships. these are ships from all sort of backgrounds. so this conflict and the plans for the escalation that we saw last night had been already thoroughly vetted, already planned for. and now he s able to because he is not under general anesthesia sort of lead this. i m of the school, i ve seen it enough, that, yes, he made a mistake, he obviously has the capabilities to lead. and the president has confidence in him during two wars.
enough, people begin to believe it and follow it and affirm it. and at some point, we do have to turn the mirror on ourselves because as a nation, we are split 50/50 and many are working very hard against the rise of donald trump. still, he might return to the white house. this is somebody who despite this profile, this child-like temperament, the abuse and business practices and litigation practices, the abuse of public office, still enough americans might we want him become in the white house as our leader and some point that s on us as much as it is on the former president. i think one of the take aways of this, and you talk about these things on your podcast. for the rest of us, looking at all of the legal struggles that donald trump faces in the 91 indictments, we think that would be horrible. he relishes it, but he feels comfortable in litigious
assistance and go to al aqsa at the moment, what would you face? ihell. moment, what would you face? well, the situation moment, what would you face? well, the situation in moment, what would you face? well, the situation in the moment, what would you face? well, the situation in the hospital moment, what would you face? -ii the situation in the hospital is dire. we havejust a single doctor who is working in the emergency room. you have only two surgeons left you are responding to hundreds of needs in that hospital. you have so many casualties coming in every single hour who are in desperate need of life saving support, so what you see inside of the hospital or at these heroic health workers, and i cannot stress it enough, these are people who have not slept in months, who have to have the same time look forfood who have to have the same time look for food and water for their own families who are also displaced. most of the doctors themselves are displaced many having moved from
the gop that the more you talk about this, the more you lean into conservative positions on abortion, the more it will hurt you and, in his case, since he s a frontrunner, hopes to be the nominee, will hurt him in a general election. and you have people like the head of the susan b. anthony group and others, mike pence on the campaign trail, who say no, no, no, the reason why republicans did poorly in the midterms post dobbs is because we didn t lean into it enough, and we were running away, had our head in the sand. i find is so interesting because we know trump is being pressured, there are allies in the republican party not just in these groups, the anti-abortion groups, but there are other republicans who want him to support the 15-week ban, and it s clear he s like, i m not listening to anybody. i ve got my eyes on the prize. i think we know that donald trump more than anyone else kind of knows how to play the game, and he s like right so so far he s not willing to tie himself
