Chris W News Today

Walk us through this very crowded calendar, ken. >> yeah, at this point, chris, donald trumps most important legal strategy is to seek delays in all of these cases any way he can because if hes elected president, its possible that none of them can move forward. he could order his justice department to drop the federal cases, and its official doj policy that a sitting president cant be prosecuted and that would include state cases. in the atlanta case, hes making clear that he will try to slow th...

Hawaii electric company, accusing them of starting those deadly wildfires. the company already faces numerous negligence lawsuits, but this is the first to say that their utility wires caused that blaze. nbcs steve patterson is on the ground there. what more can you tell us? >> just that, chris, that their utility caused that fire, that it was the significant wind event and messages that were ignored about the possibility of maybe deenergizing those lines that came down in the wind, in dry brush...

Interests from where the trial takes place to the timing of it. kenneth chesebro, he requested an expedited trial. one that would happen sooner rather than later, and the judge approved and said his trial will start in october 23rd. donald trump, on the other hand, is saying that he doesnt want his trial to start until after the 2024 election. theres a lot of question marks because still, the district attorney has requested each of their trials to take place at the same time. were talking about ...

I came in, i was treated very nicely, but it is what it is. i took a mug shot, which i never heard the words mug shot at the wharton school of finance. i dont let it bother me. it is what it is, its a horrible thing. and really it helps that you know when you have poll numbers like this, that means the people understand it. >> reporter: it is what it is. thats what the former president is saying, chris, and i spoke with several of his supporters here right in front of the fulton county jail. las...

Threading that needle is not going to be the easiest thing on earth, then he will try to generate crowds, to go to the outside of these courthouses and put pressure on jurors and others, and create even a situation of pre-civil war in order to keep himself out of jail. that is so far beyond nixon that lets put trump in his own category. >> we only have a minute left, but no matter what the polls say, has there ever been a president who engendered this particular kind of loyalty with his base aga...

Error. we dont believe it is within the margin of error, but there is a washington post-abc news poll very respected that is showing that this race is still within the margin of error. donald trump is 14 points behind a few weeks back after the billy bush tape. the race isnt double digits in this you are looking at this nbc poll. we dont know how this race is going -- there are 22 days left, and maybe hillary has an 80 3erz chan -- 80% chance of winning, but we dont know. >> still has the roughl...
