Reputation that the republican party has right now of being captive to donald trump, thats not a great environment. its certainly not the type of political environment you would expect when the incumbent president in a midterm year is so unpopular. and the economic conditions are certainly not in that president or his partys favor. >> all right. shaq, youre in florida. weve paid a lot of attention to new york right now. but charlie crist won big last night. tell me what voters told you. >> repor...

>> well, i agree with mark. from a legal perspective, the motion is one of many now acts that the trump team have taken to make a mockery of the legal system. i started last week with 90 brand new law students. its the first time ive had to explain that you really do have to follow the law and follow the facts and act with integrity. ive never had to do that in 16 years. i think his argument on executive privileges, throw the spaghetti on the wall, in this moment hes mott the president. he doesn...

Legal team made. late yesterday, filing a motion asking for a special master. walk us through that, mark. >> im sorry. im at home. my phone just rang. i apologize for not hearing the question. yesterdays filing was remarkable for this reason. donald trump views the court of public opinion as superior to the court of law. that filing from a legal standpoint -- im not a lawyer and glenn can speak better to this -- was kind of crazy. part of it read like a real estate brochure, the rolling green fi...

Investigations into donald trump should continue. that does include a majority of independents, also even some republicans. but despite those numbers and all of those investigations, the big question this morning still isnt will trump run again, because it sure sounds like hes going to, but, rather, is he going to jump in before the midterms or after? we have new reporting on why some in his circle are telling him to wait. joining me now is nbc news justice reporter ryan riley, our senior nation...

The most precedent thing now is to say something about donald trump as unprecedented. if you think about it, in just two weeks he had his home search by the fbi, he had to plead the fifth more than 444 times in a civil investigation by new york state. his former cfo in his eponymous organization pleaded guilty to tax fraud charges in another case in new york. he is planning to give testimony there. and then he is in pretty perilous condition according to his own allies. when it comes to a georgi...

I dont think it is a wish that is going to come to fruition. >> you are hearing in your article about the hearing, you quoted the counter intelligence official who said, another factor is the threat of possible obstruction and interference in the investigation. in many cases, thats purely theoretical. in this case, the court has found probable cause that there was a abaya lay shun of one of the obstruction statutes and that evidence of the obstruction can be found in the redacted version of the ...

Declassified and there was a standing order to declassify materials trump wanted to keep. former security adviser john bolton disputed those claims. >> it would have to be documented what they were, each document, so that people would know what had been declassified. and i know of no paper train at all that says whats declassified and whats not. >> joining us to start off our coverage this hour, nbc news justice and intelligence correspondent, ken dilanian, mark caputo for nbc news digital, pete...
