Every Administration Prior to the Trump Administration has had ndas specific for anyone that had a security clearance. Then, day 11 of the manafort trial. Good day in court today. And the defense doesnt call a single witness. Mr. Manafort just rested his case. And its Election Night in america. Bernie sanders is live on set. All in starts right now. Good evening, from new york, i am ali velshi in for chris hayes. No one to root for in the escalating feud between president of the United States and his former aide Omarosa Manigault newman. A he said she said. Omarosa made an explosive allegation against the president. Whether the Trump Campaign
colluded with russia to disrupt the election. Omarosa claims that then candidate trump had advanced knowledge of the hacked emails that were released by wikileaks. You were instructed to bring up the emails at any point you could. That was our talker. Did donald trump know about those emails before they came out . Absolutely. He knew about them .
he does precisely what the magistrate judge put him on notice he must not do, and he tried to influence a witness by saying something that just was mind blowing. he said the witness shouldn t testify in a grand jury criminal investigation into donald trump s alleged crimes. i contend that what should happen next, ana, is that that information should be packaged up, should be presented to judge tanya chutkan, the presiding judge in his case in washington, d.c., she ll need to make a decision at a very low evidentiary burden of preponderance of the evidence, excuse me, probable cause, if that constitutes witness tampering in violation of his pretrial conditions. then what? release conditions. that i think is where this may end up. it is a state law violation, potentially, but it may end up right back in the courts of washington, d.c. but that s the question then is what happens next.

prosecution and gotten into it with some of the lawyers. tell me what these two stories are about. the second, i will take that first. an awkward pause in the courtroom today. the prosecution said they wanted to include something in a jury instructions that would tell the jury more explicitly that the judge s interjections and questioning of the witness shouldn t be considered. and the judge thought he already explained that and didn t understand why the prosecution needed to go farther. he said do you think that i interjected too much and there was a long pause and they said yes, there were times where he said obviously manafort didn t pay attention every dollar because you embezzled from him. the prosecution wants to be careful that the jury doesn t
