at today s sessions hearing. the equivalent of being made to go to the back of the bus. major holes in tillerson s sanctuary. were we lobbying before or against? i m a germaphobe, believe me. when all in starts right now. good evening from new york, i m chris hayes. there are just nine days until donald trump becomes president of the united states. today we were inundated with news, much of it disturbing, about what to expect when he takes office. in fact there was so much news today it is, frankly, impossible for us to fully cover what we saw and heard, which may well have been the point. we are going to aggressively cover the issues we have deemed most important and they are big ones. among them, the president-elect evoking nazi germany to characterize u.s. intelligence agencies, offering kind words to the russians who the intelligence community believe hacked the dnc and clinton campaign. trump s secretary of state pick exxonmobil ceo rex tillerson possibly ly ....
A recap of the day s news. explain that? i ve commented on this pretty extensively. what you can tell you is ha 2 president did nothing wrong, there is no collusion. for anything beyond that i would refer you to the president s outside counsel. didn t he say he didn t know about it and then there s a tape during before it happened discussing it? ok. again michael cohen is alleging is that trump committed a crime. and directing cohen to pay to silence women who claim they had affairs with trump, that is collusion. you might think republican lawmakers would be compelled to speak out in the face of this. actually, it probably won t surprise you at all that the response from the president s own party is pretty much this. crickets. deafening silence. nothing. senate majority leader mitch mcconnell completely silent. majority whip john cornen i don t know the facts. the facts. house speaker paul ryan punting to his spokesperson who said, quote, we need more informati ....

Crime because the attention this case has garnered, we requested attorney general s office take the case, and they have agreed too. we want to thank everyone who assisted us from the beginning, and continues to assist us in this case as we work its way through the criminal justice system. joining me at the podium today is state of alabama attorney general, steve marshal. thank you, chief. let me begin by commending hoover police department, chief durgis for his leadership in this investigation. obviously this captured many s attention as a result of not only the allegations themselves but also the concern about a possible victim and being able to return her home. the work that was done by the hoover police department was monumental in its lift and the results of that work you are seeing come to fruition today with the charges that have been leveed. also want to commend the many other men and women of both state and federal law enforcement for their work, ....
Leveed by jack smith s team? that is the big question, a potential third indictment for donald trump. remember, he was charged earlier this year by the d.a. in manhattan, alvin bragg, related to a hush money case from the 2016 election. jack smith, the federal special counsel, indicted him earlier this year on the mar-a-lago documents case. and this third potential indictment we re talking about is related to the 2020 election aftermath. so one week ago, last weekend the special counsel sent a target letter to donald trump. that is a huge deal. it s basically a precursor to an indictment in most situations. in the past few days, donald trump had an opportunity, if he wanted to, to come here to washington and tell his side of the story to the grand jury. he declined to do so. that means it s up to jack smith ....
