wavering on him ahead of next year s elections. good morning and welcome to way too early on this tuesday, august 1st. we are in august already. i am jonathan lemire. thanks for starting your day with us. and we ll begin this new month with a possible new indictment against former president donald trump for his alleged efforts to overturn the legitimate results of the 2020 election. the grand jury hearing testimony in special counsel jack smith s investigation is expected to be back in session in washington today. now it s been two weeks since trump announced on social media that he received a target letter, which is an indication that charges could be brought in the very near future. that letter suggested that the former president could face charges of conspiracy to defraud the united states, depriving voters of their rights, and witness tampering. trump seems prepared to be preparing for another federal indictment against him, posting yesterday on truth social that he
space command headquarters are staying put in colorado. it s a huge loss for republican senator from alabama who has single handedly blocked all of joe biden s military nominees. and for american fans who didn t wake up at 3:00 a.m. to see the u.s. women s soccer team, we ll go to new zealand to see how fans are handling that overnight, may i say, painful, heartbreaking draw. our nbc news reporters are following all the latest developments. let s start at the d.c. courthouse with ryan riley. what s the latest? reporter: we re very closely watching to see what activity we can suss out this afternoon. the indictment would have to be returned in open court. not necessarily by name. so they could simply read out loud that indictment has been returned. u.s. versus dt in this situation or djt. so that s sort of what we re looking for. going around, checking those doors to see what s happening. the chief judge can have this or can be the on duty federal magistrate judge. the on

are still talking. nbc news has confirmed when former nypd commissioner will meet with prosecutors. what his lawyer told us. a whole lot of questions and a whole lot to talk about. let s start with reporting. ryan riley is outside district courthouse in d.c. ken dilanian is at the justice department. here in new york, dasha burns and lisa ruben. also with us is former prosecutor, david aaron. we know the grand jury broke for lunch. they came back. now they appear to have left for the day. bring us up to speed. yeah. i think the critical takeaway from this is we did not see the grand jury foreperson actually leave the building. i think if you read the tea leaves there, you might be able to ascertain what s happening going forward. we don t have basically we do not have any indications that this grand juror, the foreperson, has been in any courtroom thus far. we re sort of going around checking out the courtrooms to see if there s a hearing going on. what has to happen is thi
