Been a series of episodes. One of the people we want to talk to is is lester holt on the phone. He was in santa monica, california, in a Movie Theater which i cant imagine being in a more scary place when Something Like that hit. Lester, hello, thank you for being with us. Take us through it, please. Well, you know, weve all been highly sensitized since the quake yesterday, that 6. 4 one. The expectation that there might be further aftershocks we would feel here in the los angeles area. So it was on my mind. In the theater, sitting there and suddenly it began. And there was no trying to secondguess what it might be immediately. I understood it was an earthquake. My wife and i looked at each other. We said were fine and we were at that moment. Then it seemed to intensify. And thats the point i think that it became more concerning. And we and some other folks got up, made our way to an exit, went down several flights and exited on the street level. We didnt know what to expect when we go
Prosecutors about the way he had been helpful when those prosecutors were asking for the judge to go easy on him. But so much of it was redacted, so much of it was hard to piece together that we cant, i think, substantively in normal words describe what it is that hes done. He apparently hasnt done much more with prosecutors since then. It was the judge who said he wanted flynn try to do more. It will be interesting to see the way the judge reacts to this since the judge has been so independent and sort of i dont want to say contrary. Hes at least been his own man on this very much so, but then it looks like if the judge goes along with it, we still wont know more about flynns fate until midjune. We have a couple guests who are studying these right now, so we wont know much until we get to that in our next segment. Thank you, rachel. President trump took a hard turn today meaning no pardon and no one can defeat what happened in the investigation today because it happened in the state o
Trace gallagher has the details for us.

Is about to take personal action to eliminate the Death Penalty there, that will change history. Watch this space. That does it for us tonight. We will see you again tomorrow. Now its time for the last word with lawrence odonnell. Michael cohen reportedly will get another 90 days before sentencing. Maybe. The judge gets to decide if he gets another 90 days, and that judge has been a little fickle about sentencing. That would be the likelihood. Its fascinating that the special prosecutor in these filings says theyir work with m is otherwise complete. What do you make of that . Well, we dont exactly know what flynn cooperated on. In the initial leadup to his sentencing hearing that went so awry in december, we got a fairly detailed statement from prosecutors about the way he had been helpful when those prosecutors were asking for the judge to go easy on him. But so much of it was redacted, so much of it was hard to piece together that we cant, i think, substantively in normal words descr
