The congresswoman facing a near certain loss against her trump backed opponent. Were fed up with liz cheney. Were live in jackson, wyoming on the eve of the primary.

The first one and a half months, i just lost myself where am i chinas new threat after members of congress visit taiwan americas Home Builders declare a housing recession. And . In 2021, i made over 1 million. Meet the metaverse millionaires announcer live from cnbc, the facts, the truth, the news with Shepard Smith. Good evening the Justice Department fighting to keep the maralago search warrant affidavit sealed and out of the public eye for now. Several news organizations including nbc news are asking a federal judge to unseal that affidavit. It explains why Law Enforcement believes theres probable cause. Essentially the rationale for the search it could shed a lot more light on the top secret documents that fbi agents were searching for in former President Trumps home. The doj is pushing back hard in a new court filings, federal prosecutors say the affidavit needs to stay sealed to protect the integrity of the ongoing Law Enforcement federal investigation that implicates National Security. They say releasing the affidavit now would cause significant and irreparable damage to the ongoing criminal investigation meantime threats against federal Law Enforcement have spiked after the maralago search. Nbc news has learned the fbi and department of Homeland Security sent out an intelligence bulletin warning that the threats are appearing across multiple platforms, including social media sites and forums and video sharing platforms and image boards the fbi also warning that people are sharing the personal information of potential targets. Including their home addresses and identities of family members as additional targets. Just today, we learned the fbi arrested a man in pennsylvania for allegedly making violent threats on the right wing social media web site gab cnbc senior washington correspondent eamon javers now eamon. Reporter kayla, the threats we are seeing extend to individual fbi agents by name especially since the identities of two agents involved in the maralago search were circulated on web sites and social media during the course of this past week. That may be why were seeing an increased Security Posture at the fbi headquarters in washington today the secret service said its also bolstering precautions over there as well. Those actions come as lawmakers try to figure out how much damage, if any, was done by trump retaining highly classified documents at his florida resort over the weekend, democratic chairs of the house intelligence and oversight committees wrote a letter to the director of National Intelligence requesting that the u. S. Intelligence community conduct a Damage Assessment of the incident some capitol hill republicans are focused on the conduct of the Justice Department itself. 18 republicans on the Judiciary Committee sent a letter to executive branch officials, including the attorney general, fbi director and white house chief of staff asking for records about the search, information about the warrant and details of any communications with the department of justice and the white house. As for that assertion by allies of the former president that some that trump had some sort of Standing Order to declassify some materials, former Trump National security adviser john bolton said he never heard anything about that. I think that claim is almost certainly a lie. Look, when i became National Security adviser, nobody briefed me or informed me that this policy or order was in effect. I was never aware of anything even remotely approximating that policy and i havent heard anything of it since i left. Now on social media today, trump said the fbi seized his passports. That would be an unusual move and one thats not typically done before any charges have been filed in an investigation so it is not clear what happened here one explanation for all this could simply be that his passports happen to be stored in the boxes of documents that the fbi seized last week kayla. Eamon, thank you. Rudy giulianis legal jeopardy is intensifying in georgia prosecutors in Fulton County informed giuliani that he is a target of the criminal investigation into efforts by former President Trump and allies to overturn the election. Thats according to giulianis lawyer a judge has ordered giuliani to testify on wednesday before the special grand jury in atlanta is handling the case. Meantime, a federal judge has ruled that the republican senator Lindsey Graham also needs to appear the grand jury senator graham has come under intense scrutiny for phone calls he made to Georgia Election officials in the wake of mr. Trumps defeat today, the judge rejected senator grahams motion to toss out the grand jury subpoena. Lets now bring in renato mariotti, a former prosecutor. Renato, what does it mean to be a target in a state case so that is a very specific term of art in criminal law. It means that the prosecutors are likely to indict mr. Giuliani so we often hear the term subject or target run around many people can be a subject of a case that means theyre being looked at a target means something very specific that means mr. Giuliani should be waiting for indictment. Meanwhile, senator graham ordered to testify, but hes appealing to a higher court. What is the outcome he is hoping for and how likely is that to happen i think the outcome that hes realistically hoping for is to delay. Take some time off the clock, so to speak, and show to the former president that hes being loyal and doing whatever he can to resist this. I dont realistically think that hes going to get out of testifying before a grand jury renato mariotti, thanks to you as always. Former Trump Organization cfo Allen Weisselberg expected to plead guilty to criminal charges as early as thursday according to nbc news. Last summer, the manhattan d. A. s office charged weisselberg with tax fraud and other crimes hes accused of receiving off the books perks at the Trump Organization sources familiar with the case tell nbc that hes nearing a plea deal with prosecutors the terms of the plea have not been disclosed sources familiar with the case say he is not expected to coop cooperate in the broader investigation into former President Trump. Primary tests tomorrow for two of the highest profile republican critics of the former president. Voters in two states are heading to the polls for several statewide races, but all eyes are on wyoming congresswoman liz cheney and alaska senator Lisa Murkowski. Of course, congresswoman cheney elected the same year as former President Trump. Was one of ten House Republicans who voted to impeach him costing her her leadership position she also serves as the vice chair of the house january 6th committee and has railed against the former president s actions before, during and after the insurrection now shes facing the fallout according to a recent poll congresswoman cheney is trailing her trump backed opponent Harriet Hageman by nearly 30 points the Team Coverage tonight is ali vitali tonight in anchorage, alaska, but first Vaughn Hillyard in jackson, wyoming vaughn, is the writing on the wall for cheney . Reporter this is going to be an uphill battle for her ultimately it is not only Republican Voters that come out tomorrow liz cheney is relying on democratic voters here to change the Party Registration to come out and vote for her, but the difficulty is the republicans outnumber democrats here by a 4 to 1 margin. In the hope back in may when i was last out here, i was at a Harriet Hageman rally with donald trump Harriet Hageman is that trump endorsed candidate and long time gop activist and land use attorney here who has relied on Donald Trumps backing for propel herself in the campaign the hope from the cheney side of this Political Party was that after these public january 6th hearings were that Republican Voters would be swayed that her crusade against donald trump here to ultimately bring some sort of justice from the capitol hill attack and election lines that propagated after the election would make sense to Republican Voters and they would come to her side the polling indicates that is not whats happened. Take a listen to two of the voters that we talked to here. I was done with liz cheney way before january 6th i follow politics enough to know how she votes. She votes with the democrats way too often. I will be voting for liz cheney because she has common sense and she promotes democracy and, um, the other ones do not im tired of it. Reporter that woman . Sue green. Democratic voter in so many ways, you can look at the republican state of politics over the last two decades. It is this race in wyoming that is a symbol for the wild transformation it has gone through the last 20 years. Kayla. Vaughn hillyard, the polls close tonight. Vaughn hillyard in downtown jackson. Thanks in alaska, republican senator Lisa Murkowski appears to have a much better chance of surviving her primary race she has to place in the top four spots to move forward thanks to the states new voting system. Senator murkowski was among seven republican senators who voted to convict former President Trump on an impeachment charge of inciting an insurrection at the capitol last month, mr. Trump called her the worst and essentially labeled her his number one target nbcs capitol hill correspondent ali vitali is live in anchorage tonight. Ali, what are people on the ground saying there and how long until we know the outcome . Reporter kayla, this is not something were expecting to see results on in the immediate aftermath of voting today in large part because alaska is a huge state where so many of the voters vote by mail. It takes time for those ballots to come in and then the ranked Choice Voting system on top of that means they just need a little bit more time you shouldnt expect to see results for at least a week. Election results certified by the end of the month so theyre in for a little bit of a waiting period. For senator Lisa Murkowski labeled one of trumps number one targets in the midterm elections. She faces an uphill battle, but she is also no stranger to that. Everyone talks about the infamous 2010 writein campaign that she mounted they know she is someone who can face tough election battles and still win. It is something she is hoping to do this is a moment that tests trump influence in the state he endorsed one of her opponents. You are right, at least for the shortterm, all she has to do is make the top four here and it expected she will do so. Ali, former governor and former exvice president ial candidate sarah palin is also on the house ballot tomorrow. How far will her name recognition get her in the state . Reporter it could take her pretty far here, kayla this is where that new ranked Choice Voting system comes in because it has never been used before in alaska it is what they use to decide who finishes out the late don youngs term and this is the strategy that republicans and democrats alike are going to have to play because the way the ranked Choice Voting works is you are not just choosing if you are an alaska voter, one candidate, you are instead ranking them one through three these kinds of systems tend to benefit candidates who are a little more consensus building for fire brands like sarah palin, thats not necessarily the m. O. That she has here on the ground with voters the question is going to be if they see her as someone who can represent them in congress in a Republican Party that frankly she was to the right of when she first came on the national scene, but in many ways in congress has now come to meet her. Now they going to decide whether or not theyre going to put her as their representative there. The way this would work, kayla, whoever comes in third out of the three candidates is eliminated, theyre voters are divvied up based on the second choices and thats who ultimately will be the winner here we know youll bring it to us ali vitali there on the ground in anchorage ali, thank you Author Salman Rushdie now on a long road to recovery after an attacker stabbed him as he prepared for a speech.
