backbone here on these issues. i think he has well within his rights to have one. we will see what he does on tuesday. >> andrew, that is the last page of the transcript. it is one of the more dramatic things in here, where defense counsel routinely asks for, please tell us your first three witnesses because we may be getting to witnesses as early as monday. he asked for that and the prosecutor says, look. i have got to be honest. that is a courtesy that we would normally extend. mr. trump has been tweeting about the witnesses. we are not telling you who the witnesses are. i'm sorry. the judge says, i can't fault the people for that. trump's defense lawyer says, what if i commit to the court and the people that president trump will not tweet about any witness? i believe there was laughter in the press room on that one when they heard that. and the judge said, he will not tweet about any witness? to which trumps lawyer said, well,
this is another case of that by jesse waters lying about the seven jurors already seated in the case. trump adopted the lie on his own and put it on social media and violated the judges order in the case for all parties to never say anything about jurors and violated the specific gag order on trump and andrew, what are you expecting now? tomorrow morning when the judge gavels this case back into the process of jury selection. do you expect to hear about this is the first item of business? >> yes. let me point out, the fact of the statements being lies or truthful is irrelevant to the issue. to be clear that gag order was not making any public statements. even if they were truthful it would be a violation.
states where the democratic process of the supreme court said it wanted to allow dobbs, voters will say actually we want abortion to be legal safe and accessible. >> thank you for your great reporting on this. i appreciate your time tonight. that is our show for tonight, now it is time for the last word with lawrence o'donnell. we have andrew weitzman joining us and andrew who used to work in the ag's office in new york. both have much to teach us about the status of defendant trump tonight. breaking news about defendant trump, he appears to have violated the judges gag order on mentions and attacks of jurors in his case. on his social media website tonight, trump reposted
this is by any interpretation, juror intimidation. specifically aimed at intimidating the seven people already seated on that jury and anybody else that might be seated on that jury. when you are seated on trump's jury you will be attacked, you will be publicly attacked by trump and his allies in the news media. this is the challenge that the judge is going to have to deal with immediately in this case. he has paused his timing on hearing the question of violations of the gag order already but this one with jury selection in process ready to resume tomorrow morning, this one seems impossible to see how the judge can wait on that and we will discuss that any moment with andrew. it is important to remember, something about donald trump and the way he lives.
would get 20. for a class a felony. there is no place in america where any defendant gets a unlimited number of challenges. it does not exist but trump believes his voters are relentlessly ignorant and do not know that. the trump voters that do know that are the ones that have been criminally charged for their attack on the capital ungenerous six. there are places where you would get less than 10 challenges. many places. the state of arizona in its infinite wisdom under the control of the republican state legislature is the only state that decided to give criminal defendants like trump exactly zero challenges. leading off the discussion is andrew weissman, former fbi general counsel in the eastern

jail and i will prove it or the other side of the trump crazy corn, you will put me in jail and i will somehow have martyr status because of it. >> these are great observations about the secret service. the new york state court rooms are safe, there is multiple layers of security. he can move around the courtroom safely. as andrew just said there can be multiple levels of punishment, of contempt to get him to a point where he stops doing this without getting to these fears you just mentioned. if the judge wants to start with a fine, if the judge wants to start with home detention he can take steps to ensure trump is complying with the orders. >> we will squeeze in a quick break and we will be back with andrew and adam on this breaking news about trump's clear violation of the judge's gag order and other matters for defendant trump, we will be right back. right back. they're quitting the kibble. and kicking the cans.
