What a news night. Thank you. Good evening, every one. I am joy reid. We have a lot of Moving Parts tonight. Our plan was to spend a large portion of this hour talking about the anniversary of george Floyds Murder and the legislation thats moving through congress to try and enact Police Reform in mr. Floyds name. The Breaking News Gods had other plans as prosecutors did in New York. We begin with explosive nutz of New York of the former President Of The United States, Donald Trump and the Trump Organization. In a breaking story, the Washington Post revealed that Manhattans District Attorney has convened the Grand Jury that is expected to decide whether to indict trump and other executives at his company or the business itself should prosecutors present the panel with criminal charges. Thats according to two people familiar with the development. One of whom said that trump related testimony in the secret proceeding has begun. Its not clear whether the Grand Jury will return any indictments. The develop suggests that vance believes he has evidence of a crime, if not by trump then by someone close to him or by his company. Manhattan d. A. Has been invest good Faithing Trump since 2018 and is scrutinizing whether his company misrepresented the value of his assets for Tax Or Insurance purposes. Thats also known as fraud. No President Of The United States has ever been charged with that or any other crime. Just the potential of that is a very big deal. Last week we learned that Cy Vance Team joined forces with investigators with the office of new York Attorney general whose civil probe has become a criminal investigation. Joining me now, two former federal prosecutors, Paul Butler and cynthia. Ill start with you paul. The attitude we learn is they were there to indict folks. When you hear that a Grand Jury has been impanelled, what does that tell you as a former prosecutor . How likely is an actual indictment here . When i was a public prosecutor, i spent way more time in front of the Grand Jury than in court. Prosecutors dont get Grand Juries for Fishing Expeditions. Prosecutors think they have probable cause. He believe he has enough evidence to charge something or somebody. The something may be the Trump Organization. Sometimes with corporate crime the top executives are protected and middle managers get blamed for everything. The Trump Organization reportedly consolidated all Decision Making Power at the very top. The individuals who have criminal exposure, include Donald Trump senior, Don Junior, eric, ivanka and Allen Weisselberg. Cynthia, i think about the Rock Scott Situation where he had a huge Health Care Company that committed massive Medicare And Tricare fraud and he gave a Deposition Saying i didnt know anything about that. That didnt have anything to do with me. He was never involved directfully this case. In this case its a little different. Donald trump is involved in the Trump Organization. Its not a big massive company like the Health Care Company was. Prosecutors do impanel Grand Juries not for Fishing Expeditions but because they have probable cause. How unlikely to convene this kind of a process for a former President Of The United States. Do you think the person who should be the most nervous is Donald Trump or is it one of these other people that paul mention . The son or Allen Weisselberg . I think its the lower level people. This is six Months Period and its a very important period. Prosecution with the grand Jury System in New York is very different than the federal system. If you put a witness in the Grand Jury in New York you immunize them. It makes it difficult. You have to work around the edges in a much smarter way. They dont have the same levers of power when using the grand Jury System in New York. This isnt surprising at all. Hes been doing this for two years. Now hes got the Tax Returns. We have pretty open process about the pressure. This isnt surprising news. Its a big step but he didnt mean for sure anything until we go through the process because the new York Process is so different for the federal process in terms of grabbing Evidence And flipping people and moving within the system. Its very different. Flipping people that we know that Eric Trump has been interviewed, tim. Under oath. Under oath. Yeah. We know that mr. Weisselberg has been interviewed. You talked about the importance of him. If people were going to flip, it seems like those are the kind of people. The two cases have had in common from the very begin, tim, both Leticia James Case and the Cy Vance case. They both seed to have proceeded from what Michael Cohen said under oath before congress. Let me see if we have this. This is former congresswoman lacy clay. This was in 2019. People will remember this was around the pay off to Stormi Daniels and other women. Here is Michael Cohen testifying. Do your knowledge, did the president or his company ever inflate assets or revenue . Yes. Was that done with the president s Knowledge Or Direction . Everything was done with the knowledge and at the direction of mr. Trump. That last bit seems to be the important part and this is where your reporting comes in. He said everything that was done was done with the knowledge of Donald Trump. That seems to be bad news for the former president. Right. When paul mentioned about how complex corporate investigations can become, hes totally right. The thing is the Trump Organization is not really a complex organization. Its not even as complex as your local Super Market in term of its size. Big corporations have controls in place and levels of deniable for the Chief Executive at the top of the organization. The Trump Organization is this Mom And Pop shop and Donald Trump ran everything in that place through two people and a handful of others. Anything of significance didnt happen with his knowledge or him signing off. Thats been true Forfling Asset decades. This is all coming home to roost now. The significance of the Grand Jury proceeding, where ever it ends up and we dont know where it will end up is i dont think Cy Vance would be convening a Grand Jury and his team would not be convening a Grand Jury to hear evidence unless they believe they have compelling evidence. Those are both serious Warning Shots across the Trump Organization. It doesnt mean he winds up in an orange jump suit. Really quickly, tim. You reported on the family. The father was accused. It was a lengthy New York times talking about the father cheating on his taxes. Wasnt Allen Weisselberg the coo then. What im trying to get to is how difficult it might be for Donald Trump to distance himself from lower level employee, to pull a Rick Scott and say that wasnt me. How intimate was he involved and also want the father along the same lines in terms of his avoidance of taxes. Weisselberg joined in the mid1970s at the same time Donald Trump did. He started add fred trumps accountant. Donald trump made him the coo. Donald trump will have a hard time saying he didnt know. The prosecutors will have a hard time that ties him through evidence to knowledge of this. Thats why witnesses will be important. Donald trump doesnt use email and has a long practice of deny blts. This is what Michael Cohen about what he might do if he feels backed into a corner. I think Donald Trump will flip on all of them. What do you think about that . Including his children. Whats going to happen when they turn around and start asking him about his Tax Returns or about the devaluation of the assets or the way that he took deductions. I dont do my taxes. Its my accountant. He will point the finger. He will say Don Junior handled. Ivanca. Dont take me. Take melania. He will tell them to take every one except himself. In a public Corruption Type of case, Eric Trump testified under oath. How likely is it they become a Finger Pointing Exercise where every one is trying to blame others. How does that impact a kind of case . Sgla he will not buy that defense. If theres exposure, if he thinks he has an airtight case will bring that case and every one else will be subordinate to the target. Thats a legal word. We dont know that President Trump is the target. All indication s major focus on the Trump Organization. Theres never been this intensive investigation of his Business Dealings, the Corruption Trump admitted to with regard to his charitable organizations. Its not surprising his business may not have been lawabiding. Thats a really good point. Cant do a charity in state of New York. On his blog, i find it funny to say. Hes typing on his blog and accusing her of being political saying she will go after these organizations which she had alleged had been corrupt for a long time. How effective might it be to try to turn the into politics especially since Cy Vance is on his way out. Hes a lame Duck Prosecutor pursuing there case. I think they ought to give him his Twitter Account back because all he does is get himself in trouble. Theres nothing sweeter than if everybody accuses everybody else. He is likely to blame other people. Hes intensely loyal. Hes not going be easy to flip. Thats why they will need every lever of power in order to get limb to flip on Donald Trump. It will be very difficult. If they dorks it will be a jackpot. Its something else. Let me bring in one of the reporters who broke this story. Everybody stay right there. We dont that Donald Trump is the target. It would be Allen Weisselberg or Eric Trump. Is there any chance they are pressuring weisselberg and his children . Yes. We know they want to flip Allen Weisselberg. They see him as a Human Equivalent to those millions of pages of Tax Returns they got a few months ago. Even better, he wanted to could give you information about trumps intent. We took this move because Donald Trump told me. He understood what he was doing and did it any way. Its key to this case and thats why theres so much pressure on him. Can we talk about the specific properties at issue. This isnt broadly across every property. It seems like its narrow. The Chicago Property and theres a New York property. Can you give us more on that. We dont know everything about this case. Remember, Cy Vance got millions of Trumps Tax Return a few months ago. Its a handle of properties. All around two thing, one he deceived taxes authorities by getting what he called Conservation Easement on his properties and saying he had given up Development Rights that were many more than they were, savoring money on his taxes. A question about a 100 Million Dollar Plus Loan that was forgiven on his chicago tower. Generally you have to pay income tax. Theres a question of whether he had done that. This question is whether he mislead lenders by saying he had more money and assets to make himself look like a better candidate. Let talk about these Tax Returns. There was a lengthy fight over the Tax Returns. It went to the supreme court. This is something that Cy Vance had been working on. Is that because they got their hands on the Tax Returns. How far are they through them . Is this something they are gone through or are they still pouring over them . The timing of this is all about the Tax Returns. Vance made a decision to ask for everything. He couldnt move until he got the Tax Returns. Once he got them, hes had a lot of prosecutors going through them. They had a few months. We dont know how far in they are. I imagine they are learned a lot. Joy, you mentioned earlier the trump foundation. Trump charity that happened under investigation. When you peeled it open, there were all kinds of things wrong. They were misstated accounts, missing Paper Work and that was a big part of the case that Leticia James made against trump that resulted in a 2 Million dollar fine. The one time we have seen their work in producing taxes the, there were a lot of problems. Lets talk about the merging of these two cases. Were you able to develop any reporting of why the Leticia James Case, she has this Track Record of going after trump civilly and this case flipped and merged into a criminal case. Do you have any reporting on what triggered that merger . We dont know what specifically or what person it is attached to. The key here is the kind of evidence. What people wo worked in the Ags Office have told us is the kind of evidence that makes you switch from Civil To Criminal is that its about intent. Civil case all it requires you to do is prove somebody broke the law. Criminal case requires they knew they were breaking the law and did it any way. It points to Somebodys State of mind and criminal intent. That can make it a criminal case. Thats what the Ag Office took away is they must have found that kind of evidence. It is fascinating. This has never happened to a former president. Thank you very much. Really appreciate your time. Stay with us. As we continue tonights Breaking News from the Washington Post. Grand jury has been convened by the Manhattan Da to decide whether to indict the former President Of The United States or any others in his company. The Reid Out continues after this.

Tough prosecutor in New York has convened a criminal probe, a Grand Jury in the case of whether or not crimes were committed by Donald Trump, his Company Or Anyone associated with it regarding taxes. Regarding misstating the value of assets to avoid taxes. Joining me now frederick, former assistant u. S. Attorney for the southern district of New York and current distinguished lecturer after the georgetown law center. I want to start by going back a little bit. Donald trump had never hidden the fact that he was not somebody who was really prone to want to pay taxes or not to do it willingingly. I want to play the debate between himself and Hillary Clinton, former secretary of state and she pressed him on his Tax Returns. There was in 2016. You want to ask yourself why wont he release his Tax Returns. We dont know all of his Business Dealings but we have been told that he owes about 650 Million dollar to Wall Street and foreign banks or maybe he doesnt want all of you to know hes paid nothing in federal taxes because the only years that anybody ever seen were couple of years when he had to turn them over to State Authorities when he was trying to get a Casino License and they showed he didnt pay any federal income tax. That makes me smart. That makes me smart. Tim, i want to go to you on this first. You reported on this for a long time. He was never hiding the fact he was not willing to pay taxes. Because i dont think he ever thought he would be under the microscope of a criminal prosecutor and now he is. Theres a lot of legitimate ways real Estate Developers minimize the Income Taxes they pay. Hes hardly the only real Estate Developer to take advantage of very generous loopholes that exist around the Tax Code for people who develop real estate. Having said that, his use of Write Offs has been extreme. In some cases, theres an issue as to whether or not he was forgiven loans that he owed to banks or to other lenders and he didnt adequately account for that in his Tax Returns in way thats possibly criminal. His Flip Response to Hillary Clinton that it makes him smart, hes Walking A very Fine Line because it also might make him a criminal at The End of the day. He might have gotten away with it. Hes Put Mafia Bosses Behind Bars and prosecutor john gottis son. What does that say to you . That guy is one of the stars in the office when i was there. The fact he was brought in meant they wanted somebody with experience in high profile cases and complicated cases. Cases that have a lot of paper or a lot of evidence that you have to put a whole complicated timeline together. This case feels like its been around forever. Why is it takes so long . It is complicated and they are doing it with great detail and youre watching each of the steps now. Sgla its a lengthy process but its not usually six months. Can you walk us through how that works. Why would a Grand Jury be seated for that long and while the Grand Jury is seated, i dont know most see a lot of cases all at once. Are they there that long because they are just focused on this or would they operate like a normal Grand Jury and look at other cases. Is that what would extend it to six months . New York County you have two different kind of Grand Juries. People will put cases in front of them for burglaries, armed robbery, murder. All the cases the das office will do. Then you have an investigatory Grand Jury where they are putting the evidence together. Thats the Grand Jury that will give them subpoena and bring in witnesses, that will start having testimony brought in. It may not take six months. It could take longer than six months. They have the authority to go back to the judge and ask a judge to extend that. Nobody should be thinking something will happen tomorrow. This will take time. I want to may you one more piece of Michael Cohen. To your knowledge did the president provide inflated assets to an Insurance Company . Yes. Do you think we need to review his financial statements and his Tax Returns in order to compare them . Yes and you find it at the trump org. Tim, do you think ta Donald Trump tonight is Regretting Throwing that man under the bus . I think he undoubtedly is. I think its just its a measure of shortsightedness and his arrogance. His company and the people around him threw michaelcohen to the wolves and it wouldnt boomerang in a negative way. Its given rise to two situations. Im certain he regrets that. A lot of the things that Michael Cohen brought up is issues we litigated with trump. Trump wanted to settle that case because the Fact Pattern emerged was dam ingdamming. Yeah, its something else. What a time line. If he had not run for president , he might have got away with it all. Thank you very much. Our Breaking News Coverage continues after this.

Couldve used that before i hired my interior decorator. Get a Strategy Gut Check from our trade desk. Its velveeta Shells Cheese versus the other guys. Clearly, velveeta melts creamier. I hope the Breaking News thats changed the world. Its changed the news cycle. Prosecutors convenes Grand Jury to hear Evidence A and weigh potential charges. Executives at his company or the business itself should prosecutor find crimes and find criminal charges. Joining me is karen bass. I want to get your reaction to this news. No former president has ever faced this kind of legal scrutiny. I have to tell you i was surprised but i wasnt shocked. Theres so much that went on in those four years that this is probably the beginning. I also wonder about the corruption from so many people associated with the president. The president s cabinet, for example. Definitely not a shock but surprised. This would be historic. I think about the body that you are serving in, the Minority Leader of the u. S. House of representatives is completely beholden to this man who now faces potential charges in georgia over interference of the election. Potential huge debt entitlement, those debts he has to deal with, other potential lawsuits over Sexual Harassment and even one over assault. With all of that raining down on the former president , can you understand why Kevin Mccarthy continues to essentially act as if hes this mans employee and do you think that will continue with this news . I think the party has been completely taken over. I know a lot of people hoped once trump left washington, that maybe they would get their party back. Clearly, thats not the case. Theres only a couple of directions to go here. Either the party is reformed or a new party is created. We will see. The impact, as long as you have a network that continues to be the mouthpiece, that continues to spread just tremendous lies about everything under the sun. People still believes the election was stolen. People still trying to investigate the election. With all of that going on, it doesnt surprise me. Joy, one thing thats different now since January 6th, my republican colleagues who know better but they are still beholden because they are afraid, in the past, they were afraid of a primary opponent. Now they are afraid for their safety and thats a profound change. Thats very frightening. I do wonder about that and whether or not there are increasing concerns as more pressure builds on the former president whether that changes the Safety And Security situation that you feel, congresswoman. Right. We know until a serious investigation of January 6th takes place and we get to the bottom of it, how it was organized, who was involved. What it has exposed is the right Wing Element is an absolute threat to this country. We know the domestic terrorist that has taken place, we know who is responsible for it. All of these ideas on January 6th, the damage done to our democracy over the last four years is profound. The entire world has watched us and i think its critical that we have a commissiOn And its critical that the Grand Jury go forward and all these investigations need to take place. Youre the Principle Negotiator for the criminal Justice Reform Measure that we invited you onto talk about initially. I wonder how this kind of news, which is in the critical justice forum, does that impact your negotiations . Are you negotiating with people who feel confident that can take a step away from a potentially criminal former president in order to negotiate in good faith with you on the George Floyd bill. Thats primarily Tim Scott on the republican side. Its Senator Booker but we were talking about republicans and i really dont have any doubt that she negotiating in good faith. I believe us working together, we will be able to reach a bipartisan deal. I wish it would have been today. We have a substantive piece of legislation. Is there anything the family told you that they want to share this evening . They just encourage us to continue. I appreciate they do have faith in us and they were not disappointed that we didnt produce a Bill Today and they agree, whats most important is the substance and not the date. Absolutely. Congresswoman, thank you so much for your flexibility this evening and for joining us. Our Breaking News Coverage continues after this.

And providing a safe Learning Environment students could count on. Woman join us in honoring the work of educators. Together, we will build a better california for all of us. So much to get to onight with the Breaking News out of New York about the potential indictments of Donald Trump and his company. Potential, i want to emphasize that. Joining me is tim miller. Thank you for being here. I want to start with the indictment piece. This is the question i just asked to congresswoman karen bass. An unindictmented trump, a trump that is free and clear to blog away at home is one thing. A trump under pressure, i wonder what that does and how that signals into the Republican Party as it stands now. Thats a good question. I think that Donald Trump obviously is just his natural state is unhinged. The idea you can say he will be even more Donald Trump even than before, seems kind of silly. A man whose back is against the wall, he sees his indictments, maybe he looks at 2024 differently. Maybe he uses it to continue to foment Anger And Violence against established institutions against the legal institutions we have seen in many other cases. They will have to defend him where he pulls all the stops. We know a Grand Jury conveing against his business. What seems the most likely outcome is now he demands the party that he owns and control convene all of its resources toward protecting him from the potential legal harm thats facing him in New York and that includes ron desantis, every one 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. Shes still out there tripling down on required mask wearing is equal to the holocaust. Kevin said this is wrong. Not nice to say. Doesnt 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 thats exactly right. Consider what Donald Trump will be able to do with the Grass Roots fund raising. If these indictments do come down, thats going to mean more and more money into Donald Trumps existing organizations. We saw evidence of that how well Marjorie Taylor greene did Fund Raiding in first quarter. After all her other insane comments. We dont need to go through her racist and bigoted comments. She tweeted out Somebody Calling Kevin Mccarthy a feckless and deleted. It was pretty bad. If you ask the republican base, are you with Marjorie Taylor greene calling Kevin Mccarthy calling him feckless. Shes winning 6040, 7030. That over hangs the decisions that all these other Police Station politicians have to make. First theyll have to look up feckless. That was me. Its been one year since George Floyd was killed.

It has been a full year since George Floyd was murdered by Police Officer Derek chauvin has three other officers looked on. It was a nine Minute Murder that world watched thanks to a 17yearold girl who stood with other members of her community to bear witness. This is a recurring nightmare. Not just for George Floyds family, but the number that have been killed since, and the number cut down before George Floyd lost his life over an allegedly counterfeit 20 bill. George Floyds Family marked the day by meeting with congress to pass the George Floyd Justice And Policing act. They also met with President Biden where they raised their fists in solidarity in front of the white house. Floyds Family Members said the president expressed disappointment that congress missed the deadline, and stressed he wanted to pass a big with substance instead of signing a bill without meaning. Here is mr. Floyds brother after that meeting. We just want the George Floyd Policing Act to be passed in the future. Heres the fing. If you can make federal laws to protect the bird the bald eagle, you can make laups to protect people of color. Moments ago, Vice President harris told reporters what it was like meeting with them today. I commend them. I am in awe of their courage, their continuing courage. Their selflessness. Truly selfness, and George Floyd should be alive today. No question about that. Joining me now, senator cory booker. Thank you for sticking with us and being with us this evening. I want to play a bit of George Floyds sister. I thought Georges Death was going to be the last death at the hands of policemen. But as we have all seen, the names have been added On And On And on. I dont think that we have really seen a change, a change that we want. So im going to keep on fighting this good fight, and keep getting up, putting my boots On And hitting the road. You know, senator, 229 Black Americans have been killed since George Floyds death. How likely is it were going to get a bill . I think its more likely than not. Let me just say, this family, they remind me of the same spirit that the till family had when Emmitt Till was ordered. And their presence here today helped with the conversations. Her a conversation with my republican colleagues, who met with the family. Im grateful for them. They are in pain and hurt, but they want to stop an american trend that we know have its roots in your founding, im encouraged by the progress we made. This is a big that will not solve every problem. But i think we can get something really meaningful and substative. It is in the kurnlt bill, there is a lot of talk whether it will remain. Do you think a Will Bill will come will have qualified immunity. This is the idea in america if someone violates your constitutional rights, your civil rights, there should be a consequence for that. And the challenge we have right now, is that when Police Officers do that, they get a shield, in civil cases, against that accountability. So i feel strongly that we should not live in a country where someone is effectively above the law, where they can violate some of the principles and have no consequence. So that is one of the things that is still on the table that were working on. Im going to push this bill as far as i can. To see if it winds in the sail of the bill make it worth it in society. I have to say, there are a lot of people involved in it, that feel the weight in this moment of American History. And i have conversations can police leadership that wouldnt have been possible before the horrible murder of George Floyd, and we have seen senior senators get their names on the bill. We are making progress. There is nothing certain. I think its more likely than not we get things done. We are talking weeks, not days. April ryan did a piece where she talked to folks on the hill, and one of the sticking points with republicans, they want Police Buyin before they are willing to get support of the bill. They are eating up 44 of the budgets of a city. They have tremendous power. They are gobbling up 40 cents on every dollar, and on top of that, the rates of actually solving crimes. The amount of time, that what people think police do, its low. You dont have a high rate of crimes solves. Will you be able to get to a place of agreements . Well, again, im working with Tim Scott and a handful of others. I have had moments in this negotiation that have given me Solace And Strength as i watch him Scott Share stories about his own encounters with police. He is not caving to the politics of this. He is sincere. We may have disagreements on parts of the bill. But im telling you, as a black man, Tim Scott is sincere wanting to see us address these problems. And we are thinking creatively how to deal with that very graphic you put up. For example, in oregon, there is a Program Called Cahoots where responders for Mental Health remember, blacks are more than twice as likely to be killed by police. If you have Mental Health issue, you are more than ten times. Cahoots has been able to lower the police calls 17 . Or for police to be spending more time dealing with the serious crimes that even the black community we had Clearance Rates that were unacceptable and needed to be risen. So this is two people the first time in American History you had three black men serving at the same time in the United States senate. And we are thinking creatively about this, how to get some of the problems that we all know that we should not live in a society with this many unarmed people being murdered by the police. But more than that, where we dont have the levels of Transparency And Accountability to pro ent the violent crimes and very quickly, does Tim Scott have the ability to deliver votes .
