the legal, financial, political, and psychological angles to it all. we ve got it all covered we are also going to take yo back to where it all started 17 years ago, with an allege affair and figure out how we got to this point in time. and will examine the stunnin revelations this week from another investigation into trump. fulton county has another recording of a cal trump made pressuring an official to overturn the results of the 2020 election i m ayman mohyeldin, let s get started. tonight, we begin with the news everyone i talking about for better o worse. this morning, donal trump posted on social media claiming that leaks from the manhattan district attorney office indicate that he will b arrested this coming tuesday to be absolutely clear, nb news cannot confirm that claim and at this hour, there ha been no official announcemen from the manhattan da s office and no indication that charges have actually been filed against donald trump. that said, they were major
clarified by any authorities own upending arrest. nonetheless, in the past 2 hours since comp made this claim key republican figures like house speaker kevin mccarthy, south carolina senator lindsey graham, they have all echoed trump accusations. the manhattan da s indictmen is politically motivated speaker mccarthy going eve further. clay meaty he would use hi powers to investigate somethin that has not actually even happen mike pence, a potential 20 202 potential candidate who wa targeted by the mob who storme the capitol on january six als fell in line with a talkin point. he says he does not think that this is what americans want. watch this just feels like politically-charged prosecutio here for my part i just feel like i is just not want the america people want to see i believ that people understand that if they give voice to this, i this occurs on tuesday, that they need to do so peacefull and in a lawful manner the manhattan distric attorney s office, which i i
concerns but otherwise, once he i processed this case will proceed at the same glacia pace as criminal cases do in your county and have for man years, unless he gets specia treatment, in which case i moves up and that s what we need to watch for. because the big question becomes, when do the major advance happen, trial or otherwise, relative to the election that s the key question. and then we need to grappl with the - year issue, that the framers never thought of, which is what do you do we know we can t prosecute a sitting president. what if you prosecute a sittin president candidate and that candidate becomes the president? the whole idea of unmuted even a president is if the presiden is the one person in governmen that if you arrest him you literally arrest an entire branch you can arrest a supreme court justice, you can arrest congressman, life goes on. but the president you arrest - he sits in the cell and yo arrest the entire executiv branch so, it s an interestin constitutional
say hey we re not even gonna create exceptions we re gonn put the burden on the doctor t prove they could intervene you re going to see that peopl are going to have seriou health effects people are going to die becaus of the way these exceptions ar written what is the nex course of action as we wait for this ruling out of the course in texas which could set a new to a president what kind of rescue women have before this abortion bill goes away there s been some speculatio that companies me ignore continuing to provide the pill tone across the country. what do you think it s the nex course of action the next course of action is somewhat what we saw i november pushing bala initiatives acros the country because these ar issues where people with the capacity forpregnancy, women democrats, republicans, they want to keep the opportunity t be able to control their own reproductive health care there will be more ballo initiatives the executiv branch can also be firm an
what they did then. but in that constitution, the genius of it all was the system of checks and balances. they did not want a monarch. they did not want a president king. that s what they fought the war against. the president sais the executiv branch. article two is the executive branch. the president said, article two says i can do whatever i want. so for me this is about honoring our oath of office, making sure the constitution is respected, and it s about that and how he has ignored the subpoenas of congress, the oversight of congress. something very strange there, that there hasn t been an intervention amongst some of his own people. and we ll get to those questions about the subjects he raised. there was an intense moment this morning when you spoke to reporters, a reporter asked you if you hated president trump, if that was the motivation for
