Good morning. 11 00 a. M. Eastern, 8 00 a. M. Pacific. Im jose diazbalart along side my colleague ana cabrera. Breaking news in one of Donald Trumps legal cases. Moments ago, nbc news learned donald trump posted a bond of over 91 million in the e. Jean carroll case, just days before it was due on monday. Lets get right to msnbc legal analyst Glen Kirschner and our correspondent lisa rubin on the phone. Lisa, first, what do we know, what can you report . This morning, ana, alina habba, one of trumps lawyers, the lead lawyer in the e. Jean carroll case, filed a motion with the court to post a bond in the amount of 91 million and 630,000 as well. That represents the total amount that would be required to obtain a stay, pending appeal, in this case. The judgment as you will recall was 83. 3 million, usually a defendant has to post more than 100 of that to obtain the 630 necessary to protect the person who won as the case goes through appeal. But at this point, what trump has done, by posti
Appellate court. By merely deciding to do this, though, the court has essentially upended the attempt to hold donald trump accountable for his actions to subvert democracy. In fact, the court may have ended that attempt entirely. This decision is also certain to reshape the 2024 president ial race, and it will likely play a Determinative Role in its outcome. As much as the significance of this ruling is already apparent, the full consequences here hinge on the timing. In it the Supreme Court said it would hear Oral Arguments in the case the week of april 22 nd.

Today the Supreme Court made a momentous decision, one that has significant implications for the rule of law in this country. At five pm eastern, this afternoon, the Supreme Court agreed to take up former President Trumps claims of president ial immunity. These are not credible claims. That has been thoroughly litigated in District Court and federal Appellate Court. By nearl
and thanks to you at home for joining us this hour. so, special counsel jack smith has ten business days left if he wants to beat fulton county district attorney fani willis to an indictment. we have talked a little bit about that. dea willis has indicated that at some point between july 31st and august 15th she may bring charges against donald trump for his attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 election in georgia. and mr. smith, whose federal indictment could over lap significantly with da willis s state indictment, well he likely wants his federal case to go first. at least one of the two grand juries and that da willis has empanel down in fulton county has already started its work as of this week. and either one of those grand juries could be asked to indict trump. but while we are waiting for a potential charging decisions here, it turns out that we should still be keeping our eyes on florida, and not just mar-a-lago. the new york times is reporting tonight that p
