Appear before a judge, a Magistrate Judge, to be formally charged for the third time in less than four months, as chris said, and msnbc news has learned three of the officers injured in january 6th will be trying to attend the hearing, although just a handful of members of the public are going to be allowed inside, and just 11 members are reserved for the press. You can see the camera shaking because were all moving in real time here, trying to give you as much access to see whats happening, but even before he appears in court, trump has been fighting these charges on social media. Hes been raising money off of it, his Fundraising Committee has fired off at least eight solicitations for donations since this indictment was handed up on tuesday. He also posted a message to his supporters saying its a great honor to be arrested because im being arrested for you. Now, technically, hes not going to be arrested. Hes going to go in and surrender to authorities, but lets discuss whats happenin
An historic day in washington. The former president and current g portion front runner will be arraigned for eallegedly orchestrating a a plot to overturn the free and Fair Election that he lost. Were keeping watch as donald trump gets ready to leave new jersey, board his private jet and make his way to a federal courthouse just steps away from where democracy was under siege during the january 6th insurrection. Hundreds of Protrump Rioters already face justice inside that very same courthouse. And thats where we begin this hour with paula reid and evan perez. What can we expect to unfold in that courthouse out of the publics view . Once the former president gets into washington, he will be brought into the federal courthouse. Were probably not going to see much of him before he finally gets into the courthouse. He will be processed by the u. S. Marshals as they do with everyone who is arraigned. He will be under arrest. And then he will be brought in at 4 00. The we expect the judge i
Donald trump is back at the end of another sad day for the country that he once served as president. He was arraigned for a third time this afternoon. That courthouse is steps away from the u. S. Capitol which was stormed by the violent mob of supporters of donald trump 2 1 2 years ago. It was protected by members of Law Enforcement including from the Dc Metro Police department. It happened also that the former president who is now charged in connection with this attack could safely enter a plea. Inside the courthouse behind me he was taken into custody. He was processed and pled not guilty to the charges against him. A federal judge then set the next court date for the 28th. That is when it is expected a trial date will be set. I am learning that he left here in a sour and dejected mood. He was really angry according to those who spoke to him. He had that processing happening here then he went to the tarmac where he was expected to take questions from reporters who were here. He did n

Many have been convicted for their actions in and around january 6th. we re going to talk more about that, and about this arraignment in this case in general with our panel here. i want to play another part of kaitlan collins interview with bill barr last night, he trying to poke a hole in one of the major republican talking points about the doj being weaponized against republicans. as a legal matter, i don t see a problem with the indictment. i think that it s not an abuse. the department of justice is not acting to weaponize the department by proceeding against the president for a conspiracy to subvert the electoral process.
