thank you so much for letting us into your homes during these extraordinary times. we are grateful. the beat with ari melber starts right now welcome back. good to be back thank you. welcome to the beat. we have breaking news right now in the prosecution of donald trump in new york. we are tracking a brand new legal filing from the manhattan d.a., a name that many across america know since donald trump was arraigned, d.a. alvin bragg. and it s related to this new case, new york versus donald trump. it s out late today and we have the filing i m going to get into these two pieces of it this is what the filing looks like, and this is what it looks like when the former president threatens the d.a., creating criminal evidence, which we re seeing put in more than one case this is brand new. didn t know it was coming. what we have is an aggressive move here by this d.a. to protect the legal jurisdiction to stay on offense in new york on the prosecution of donald trump for s
defendant. this defendant created danger and bad evidence that must be addressed then, immediately. that lays down a marker for more severe action. tuesday it treated this defendant differently because he s not an ordinary criminal defendant. the d.a. acted he punched first and now a week later, when you look at this in context that s why this civil case is such a striking file the d.a. is punching again for all the memories of bob muler and the january 6th committee and other probes, who by the way for not independent like this both muler and the january 6th committee were part of the federal government, and as much as jim jordan hopes otherwise, the local d.a. in new york is not part of the federal government he has that autonomy and authority and something republicans long celebrated under federalism he is moving different there will be some i expect in the hours and days ahead say, what s he doing suing republicans? making the arraignment so long
under oath and i ve reported both to the fbi and bob muler that i felt he was spying to me. something i want to make sure about this meeting with downer, i don t think i was just suspicious he was spying to me, in my transcripts to kran skrets you see mark meadows and john asking if i was handed transcripts with any of these people that were running into me. i said no. congress has stripts, they know, the president knows these people were spying. it will be a big bombshell. laura: oh, this is good. going to be great. laura: now you have gotten me really interested, love the from time to time tidbit. thank you. now we can pick up on a story that we began to tell you last night. a source is now telling the ingraham angle that e-mails, communications from december from december 2016 reveal while former director jim comey
from the russian lawyer. i ve talked about the synchronizing of the trump campaign movements with releases from wikileaks. i mean, these are all public knowledge. we have the president calling on the russians to steal secretary clinton s e-mails. you have the president, 160 times in the last 30 days of the campaign referencing wikileaks. so we ve seen great evidence of this what i ll call synchronization. again, i would not have used john s words, and i certainly have no knowledge with regard to the transfer of money. but we do have this convergence of interest and behavior between the campaign and the russians. that s already been out there, don. and so john asked the legitimate question, is there any guilt or responsibility attached to that kind of synchronization? and i ve always deferred saying bob muler is going to tell us. thank you. i appreciate your time. thank you. when we come back, celebrating the queen of soul.
is that they knew that bob muler s team already had ample evidence that would prove there were misrepresentations made about the drafting of that statement, shey wer the classic we ve got to get in front of it and make it seem like it was something other than what it was. okathen, just a mistake.ak les share or remind people what president trump s lawyer jay suckalow and sarah sunander said t in the past. it was released, i m suren consultation with his lawyers. the president was not involved in that. the president did not issue the statement. it came from donald trump jr. athai can tellyou. no, that was written by donald trump nd sur with consultation with his lawyer. he certainly didn t dictate but, you know, he like i said, he weighed in, offered suggestion like any faerould
