Good evening to do, im Sara Sidner in new york. There is major Uncertainty Tonight over who will be at the top of the democratic president ial ticket. One thing very clear, the contrast between the two parties could not be more stark at this stage of the race. Republicans in celebration over their nominee while democrats right now in desperation over there is. Donald trump just had his first event with his Vice President ial nominee, j. D. Vance, a smaller patch covering the part of his ear where he was shot. Take a listen. Together, we will fight, fight, fight, right . And, we will win, win, win. In the meantime, President Biden is isolating off the trail, recovering, of course, from covid19, and resisting the mountain calls, so far, from inside his own party to not seek a second term. 35 democratic lawmakers now are publicly urging him to step aside. There they all are. It all began with his disastrous performance at the cnn debate. After nearly 3 weeks of pressure to exit, President
Investigation. Plus, incredible new reporting on the moral panic machine scaring school boards across america, and nicole hannah jones on the history behind it all and while you may see a summer sequel to the airport run of senator ted cruz but all in starts right now. Good evening from new york. I m chris hayes. I know my own name. I have said it before and i m sure i will say it again, it was not for lack of trying that donald trump did not steal the election. The reason that the will of the american people was respected that we had a transition of power, albeit not a peaceful one, was because of a combination of a few islands of integrity. Officials and judges and folks like that, some dumb luck and the incompetence of the faction attempting to sabotage american democracy. We have more evidence of this today. But it s just the latest example. It has been clear since last november, donald trump would bully, badger, intimidate anyone he could in an attempt to install himself in essent
involvement seems particularly notable. according to the indictment, he played a key role in what appears to be a pressure campaign from trump and his co defendant, valet walt nauta and mar-a-lago property manager carlos de oliveira, to delete security footage from the club after it was subpoenaed by prosecutors. and now, it sure seems like employee 4 could be talking, it turns out, he is an i.t. worker for mar-a-lago named yuscil taveras. according to one new report, taveras himself received a target letter from the department of justice after trump was first indicted in florida. but taveras himself has not yet been indicted, and to be clear, as of now, we do not know if taveras is formally cooperating with jack smith s office. that said, as the washington post reports, quote, taveras offered information implicating all three defendants in an alleged conspiracy to cover up evidence. and we also know that following trump s indictment, taveras switched lawyers. he was previous
good evening from washington. i am mehdi hasan in for chris hayes. donald trump could end up behind bars next year for conspiracy to obstruct justice. and if he does, it may very well be because of a new testimony by someone identified by the justice department, only as trump employee 4. now that we have had all weekend to digest the new superseding indictment for donald trump from doj special counsel jack smith and the classified documents case, employee number four s involvement seems particularly notable. according to the indictment, he played a key role in what appears to be a pressure campaign from trump and his co defendant, valet walt nauta and mar-a-lago property manager carlos de oliveira, to delete security footage from the club after it was subpoenaed by prosecutors. and now, it sure seems like employee 4 could be talking, it turns out, he is an i. t. worker for mar-a-lago named yuscil taveras. according to one new report, taveras himself received a target letter
version of the bush administration. we re going to get into that with mollie hemingway and charlie hurt. but for decades we ve seen members of both parties attack at the core of the america-first agenda. i inherited a nation that had a serious loss of credibility around the world as america first. we ve seen nationalism distorted into nativeism. unrestrained nationalism is the last refuge of those who cannot or will not deliver real progress and opportunity for their own people at home. laura: well, that old regime is gone, and i don t think it s ever coming back, certainly not in the republican party. and now we have some new opportunities and candidates with actual back bones. we know donald trump has one. his anti war record is well-documented. and ron desantis, well, we re going to see more about what he believes on all the issues that we care about as his campaign goes forward. but both have pretty much shown us that their desire is to put america first, american
