Inner circle. The memo which was obtained by the New York Times and has not been verified by nbc news, was allegedly sent in early December 2020 by trump lawyer kenneth chesebro, who is one of the coconspirators identified but not charged in the Justice Departments latest indictment, of the former president. In the note, chesebro details the fake elector scheme which falsely claims former Vice President mike pence had the power to block the certification of the states votes on january 6th. All just to buy time. Chesebro admitted that the Supreme Court would likely reject the plan, in a statement to nbc news, the lawyer writes that he was simply providing legal advice to trumps campaign. But that quote whether the campaign relied on that device, upon that advice as he intended would have to remain a question to be resolved in court. Those efforts by donald trump and his lawyers to subvert democracy has, in a small part, led the american varshini to create a task force for American Democ
You were past your prime. Hell, i know something about that. President biden was cracking jokes with defending World Series Champions at the white house yesterday. That looked fun. We do have a lot to get to this morning. A very confused judge in fort pierce. Oh, my gosh. She was shocked, shocked that you could have two grand juries going on at the same time. Its not a good sign, actually. Whered she go to law school . Oh, boy, a lot of questions. Not a good sign. Well go through the flurry of legal filings last yesterday in the 2020 election case that has the judge summoning both sides to a washington, d. C. , courtroom. Different judge. This is a different judge, a different case. Plus, action around the Fulton County courthouse in atlanta. Different case. Sparking speculation that another indictment, another one, could be coming very soon for the former president. Also ahead, well explain how the fight for Abortion Rights in ohio could hang on what happens in todays special election
iowa caucuses, my conversation with ron desantis about his strategy is coming up. the big news, in my view, is that the media are throwing in the towel. here s politico. the defining feature of the race is just how uncompetitive it s become. donald trump has already iced the rest of the field, trouncing his competitors like a slow motion coronation. washington post, a growing sense among political veterans across the state that the basic outcome is set and a trump victory is all but assured. and that view has spread to television. we ve been talking about this as if it s a real race, but so far we haven t seen evidence that there is anyone who s going to be able to steal this mantel from trump. donald trump is still the front-runner among republicans. and any attempt by his rivals to sell themselves as reasonable alternatives are going even further down the tubes. she does not have a strong performance, that could spell trouble for the end of her campaign. and once agai
we ll get you an update on his condition shortly. we know the suspect has been booked on numerous charges, including attempted homicide as we heard from the san francisco police a short time ago. the suspect is 42-year-old david depape who police say attacked paul pelosi with a hammer and it happened after 2:00 a.m. that s when they got the call or the notification that they should head over there. we have fox team coverage ahead and also squeak we planned earlier. now there s a lot to talk to him about. lee zeldin, who is the candidate for governor in new york. crime is very central to this race in new york against the governor who took over when governor cuomo stepped down, kathy hochul. this race is getting very tight. a couple of one attempt on lee zeldin during the course of his running for governor and a very scary incident that happened with a gun and people hiding in his front lawn during the course of the campaign as well. ppening everywhere. first to jonathan hu
to vote from an entire bloc of voters, effectively disenfranchising them from the candidate of their choosing, chaos, of course, is going to ensue in a free country. and that ease because the right of people to participant in a free and fair election is a hallmark of american democracy. you take that away, chaos happens. howard: cannot argue9 with the diagnosis of chaos. trump sent me and other journalists a 32-page letter written by an aide but with the help of lawyers saying that hundreds of thousands of votes were stolen in 2020. leaving aside the political wisdom of relitigating the last election again and the washington post says his inner circle was divided, the media basically ignored it although the washington post a couple days called it a mess. you know, i saw the document. i have not gone through it myself yet. as you know, howie, i was at the justice department when bill barr made the announcement there was not enough fraud to have impacted the outcome of the
