Womans world cup with five days of practice before a touch match in the knockout stages. Good day, everyone. Im Andrea Mitchell in washington. All eyes are on the u. S. Courthouse a few blocks from here where the grand jury examining former President Trumps alleged role in attempting to overturn the 2020 election is meeting today. Another Trump Indictment is potentially imminent, according to the former president himself. Joining me now, andrew weissmann. Former fbi counsel, of course. Talk to us about, what is imminent . What are the signals . Aside from donald trump saying on truth social, expecting it and his lawyers have been brought in and he did get a Target Letter on july 18th. Right. The fact that he got a Target Letter means that it is highly likely that they are going to charge, particularly in a case like this where its so high profile. We were all waiting i was waiting to hear the defense met with the prosecutors to make an effort. Thats also a clear sign. That always happe
this is a disgrace that they are looking at this stuff. there was nothing done wrong, nothing whatsoever. new reporting from the washington post details a widening investigation in fulton county, georgia, into alleged election interference by mr. trump, broadening into other states and washington, d.c. this hour, ron desantis wraps up his first campaign tour of the early states in south carolina today, after trading political jabs with donald trump on the campaign trail. when i heard desanctimonious talk about eight years we can turn this around so quickly. anyone that tells you i will be done in one day or six months, you know, they are selling you a bill of goods. president biden prepares for his first oval office address tonight after the senate worked through the night and overcomes legislative hurdles to pass the debt ceiling bill and get it to his desk, delivering a bit political win for the president and speaker mccarthy. good day. i m andrea mitchell i
joe biden won wisconsin by 20,000 votes. in almost every race outside of that supreme court, almost always comes down to 10,000 or 20,000 votes. shaq is right. what he ended up saying at the end about the legal challenges. if this is shaping up to be a close election in 2024, as a lot of the polling ends up suggesting, those legal challenges and how the supreme court endses up ruling in the state of wisconsin could be determinative. let s talk about the polling. 43/43. it doesn t get any closer. there s margin of error on both sides that can goer up and down. we are talking about a general election matchup between a former president, two indict indictment indictments and more to come,
rico statute that the d.a. is an expert in, if you will she mentioned it before as something she charged defendants with it allows a broader scope of certain acts to come in than the federal statute. she might have potentially a broader reach than, say, jack smith would under the federal statute. we will have to wait and see what she comes up with. it s an interesting side note to note that she s looking into it, and it could be grounds for the former president to challenge it if he thinks this is beyond her scope, beyond what she s allowed to do legally. mary, let s talk about the time frame here. you have got the d.a. in georgia twice pushing back, which she said were going to be imminent indictment indictments, perhaps in deference to the federal probes going first. you have the justice department precedent, not a law, not to pursue these cases in the middle
moving forward with the prosecution. shepard: it isn t double jeopardy because down there, the plea was to state charges. this is federal charges. the law from the supreme court is clear on that matter. one more thing. there are new photos today, and did it feel to you today like this is the beginning? absolutely. it is such a placeholder indictment. the southern district of new york typically shows speaking indictments. they typically give more information in their indictment indictments. this was a bare-bones indictment, just two counts. they use this press conference today as a way to get more victims. they gave out a phone number for victims to call with any information. this is clearly an ongoing investigation. they want to get to the bottom of it. absolutely it sounds like they have evidence of other potential ongoing crimes. why would they execute a search warrant on his manhattan home, only if they feel they have probable cause to suspect there are ongoing crimes happening
