good day, i m chris jansing live at msnbc headquarters in new york city. the defense with its final chance to keep alec murdaugh out of prison on murder charges. his lawyer picking apart the prosecution s theory about why he would have killed his wife and son and accusing state police of faking the evidence, the very latest from south carolina as we get close to jury deliberations. plus, president biden heading back to his old stomping grounds on capitol hill this hour, his mission and his message focused squarely on keeping democrats in charge in 2024. and as if delays and cancellations aren t enough to worry about, multiple cases of weapons trying to be smuggled to planes, a near collision, dangerous turbulence, the latest worries for an already exhausted flying public, more on the search for answers and for someone to fix this mess coming up. but, we begin at the alec murdaugh double murder trial. the defense had e wrapped up its closing arguments on an emotional note.
we start with a denial from ukraine of any involvement in september s attacks on the nord stream pipelines, which were built to carry russian natural gas to germany. the denial follows this report from the new york times. it cites us intelligence officials, suggesting a pro ukrainian group was to blame. before we look at those claims, let s get more details about the nord stream pipelines. let s get more details this map shows where they run along the sea bed, from russia, across the baltic, to germany. the damage was discovered near the danish island of bornholm. it s also relatively close to the russian territory of kaliningrad. it was first noticed when huge amounts of gas were spotted bubbling up to the surface. when cameras were sent down, this is what they recorded. several experts said it appeared the pipes had been damaged by an explosion on the outside of the pipe. here s ukrainian defence minister oleksi reznikov on the new allegations. for me, it s a little bit o
that trump s legal team also filed a motion to fight the subpoena on the grounds of executive privilege, basically that the president and his senior aides can have internal communications that don t have to be shared. this is a separate matter pence s legal time is trying to block it on. pence s team did not comment, nor did the justice department. what i m told pence is doing with this is basically trying to block the testimony they believe is related and pertains to his legislative actions on that day, how he was acting as president of the senate. that could potentially cover a pretty broad swath of his testimony. they re not saying he won t testify overall but that is the argument they re making. we ll see if the former vice president is successful in that. he has written a book where he talked about things that happened leading up to and on january 6th that could potentially complicate this fight when it comes to the former president and to pence himself with this motion.
