good day i m chris jansing live at msnbc headquarters in new york city. we are just learning that things are getting heated in court as donald trump today is trying to get charges tossed. not in manhattan but in florida where he s now fighting to end his classified documents case even before it goes to trial. the special prosecutor calling the claims legally and factually flawed. the terrifying turbulence of a flight over thailand, passengers launched from their seats, some slamming into the ceiling of the plane as it hit an air pocket. the flight plum meting 6,000 feet in minutes. what investigators on the scene are looking for. with closing arguments in trump s hush money trial set for next week we re on the verge of answering a question, that s been hanging over the presidential race for more than a year. will the jury s decision also determine the former president s political future and is a trump centric race bad for president biden. so a lot to get to. we st ....
good to be with you. i m katy tur alongside my colleagues, andrea mitchell and chris jansing. what s happening right now in donald trump s hush money trial could determine how it all ends. a legal conference between judge merchan, prosecutors, and attorneys for donald trump to determine the charges the jury can consider. and there aren t any fireworks to note inside the courtroom right now, no fireworks, but really important conversations, arguments with the conference that s highly sequential, there s gamesmanship at play on both sides. this is the final phase of the proceedings, right, before closing arguments begin next week. and jurors now have an extra-long weekend. actually, they have a full week to absorb this week s testimony. they probably need it. they re not going to be back in court until a week from today, next tuesday, when closing arguments will start. prosecutors rested their case against the former president earlier, after another less-explosive r ....
cite as the other crime trump allegedly intended to commit or conceal? and second and perhaps most important, will the jury be allowed to consider misdemeanors as well? i want to bring in nbc s vaughn hillyard live outside the courthouse. chuck rosenberg and catherine christian are both with us here in the studio. so chuck, explain how this decision may go and how the judge may frame the instructions, which could be really determinative as to whether a jury that might be confused or conflicted might be looking for an exit strategy other than a guilty verdict. so some context might be helpful. the jury has heard all the facts. the judge will now instruct the jury on the law. it ll be their map to apply the facts that they heard to the law as they are instructed. the way the two sides, the prosecutors and the defense sort of fight it out, andrea, to get their preferred jury instructions read to the jury. this all takes place at the thing that s about to start, a charg ....
after saying repeatedly he wanted to testify. trump did, however, stop for the cameras before going into court earlier today. and here is what he said. we re resting the case. i won t be resting. i don t rest. i like to rest sometimes, but i don t get to rest. he won t be resting. the main witness, the defense did call, was robert costello. and he was back on the stand trying to undercut michael cohen s testimony earlier today, a day after being admonished and warned by the judge that his behavior was contemptuous. even though testimony in this case appears to be over, a huge decision is now looming. will jurors be allowed to consider lesser charges, misdemeanors against the former president? or will felony charges be their only option? the charging conference that will decide that question and potentially go a long way toward deciding how this case ends is just one hour away. i want to bring in msnbc legal correspondent lisa rubin remaining outside the courthou ....
mitchell reports humanitarian aid is finally rolling into gaza from egypt but the death toll is increasing. this as nbc is reporting the biden administration has been urging israel leaders to delay their ground offensive in order to gain better intelligence, to clear military objectives and more time for negotiators to secure the release of hostages. what i can speak to is our icessant efforts from day one to try to get people home, to try to get them out of gaza back with their families and loved ones. that is continuing as we speak. this is something we re engaged in virtually around the clock. plus nine new candidates for house speaker making their pitches at a private conference, the conference meeting this evening after a week of public feuding that is frustrating party insiders. this is not a time to play games. this is this is embarrassing for the republican party, it s embarrassing for the nation and we need to look at one another and solve the problem. ....
