. well, look at that. the supreme court is right where it did not want to be, smack dab in the middle maybe of the 2024 election with the first votes in just a few days, tonight on laura coates live. okay. so if we re being honest, we knew this day was coming, right? i mean even if the supreme court did not want this day to come, they re probably still recovering a little bit from bush v. gore, and this seems to be the worst kind of deja vu. maybe that s why after several hours behind closed doors talking today, drum roll, please, the supreme court said yes to the dress. they will decide whether donald trump, the former president of the united states, one who is trying to become the president yet again, can even actually be on a ballot after his role on january 6th. well, which ballot? well, this one concerns colorado, but the supreme court knows that the floodgates, they re about to open. it s already been and i can t believe it either three years as of tomorrow sinc
he would maybe be the best person to have. i mean, how mad can you get that joe biden? and a remarkable scene inside the capital, warehouse members protested senators on their way to vote down a federal right to abortion. all in starts right now. good evening everyone, i m ayman mohyeldin, in new york, in for chris hayes. the ex president knew the conclusion he wanted. he wanted to overturn the results of a free and fair election. he wanted to install himself as the winner. he just needed to manufacture a way to get there. and that is where john eastman comes into the picture. eastman, of course, is a lawyer, and a die hard trump ally who was the architect behind much of the attempted coup and in fact he even spoke at trump s january 6th rally at the lips, the one where trump incited the insurrection. all we are demanding of vice president pence is an afternoon at 1:00, we are in he let the legislatures of the states look into this, so that we get to the bottom of it, a
insurrection. all we are demanding of vice president pence is an afternoon at 1:00, we are in he let the legislatures of the states look into this, so that we get to the bottom of it, and americans will find out whether they have control of the government or not. we no longer live in a self governing republic if we cannot get the answer to this question. this is bigger than president trump. it is a very essence of our republican former government and it has to be done. and anybody that is not willing to stand up and do it does not deserve to be in the office. all right, so, that is what eastman was saying publicly. but more notably is the work that he summoned was doing behind the scenes. he altered the now infamous coup memo, where he actually urged then vice president mike pence pence to literally throw at the results from seven states that joe biden had one before he, quote, gavels president trump as reelected. in order for that scheme to have work, trump and eastman n
it is 4:00 new york. it is not every day that a former president of the united states is in a courthouse. much less as a defendant in the case that threatens to bring down the entire brand that he used to propel himself into office in the first place. today, donald trump was back in court in the $250 million civil fraud trial in new york. before walking in, trump lashed out as he so often does at the judge, the trial, at the new york attorney general who brought the lawsuit. he did not mention judge engoron s clerk, who has been a frequent target of his, he remains under a gag order that prohibits him from talking about court staff. inside the courtroom, accounting expert eli bartov took the stand and testified that in his expert opinion the attorney general s claims of a years long pattern of fraud, manipulating the values of trump s real estate assets were baseless. there is no evidence whatsoever for any accounting fraud, he said. dold trump was reportedly visibly pleased.
hi, everyone. thanks for joining me. i m omar jimenez sitting in for fredicka whitfield. we begin with heavy shelling and fighting in gaza putting emergency centers in emergency situations. the red crescent society said gaza s second largest hospital is out of service due to the dep please of supplies. israel defense forces say they re enabling safe passage from gaza s hospitals, but medics say it s too dangerous to leave because of intense fighting. with civilian casualties mounting, today israel prime minister benjamin netanyahu told cnn the lives lost fall squeri on the shoulders of hamas. i think any civilian slos is a tragedy and the blame should be placed squarely on hamas. it prevents them from leaving the zone. the other day, to prevent palestinians from leaving harm s way, it puts rockets inside schools, hospitals. it has tunnels below children s beds. this is what we re dealing with. so obviously we can t give them i m munlt. today for the first time since thurs
