Fundamentally the asylum system that says that when these migrants come to u.s. shores, u.s. law says that they can stay here. and that is obviously something that has been part of how we ve thought about, you know, humanitarian efforts and western democracies for a long time. that has been pretty fundamentally challenged right now. here in the uk particularly because they are trying to demotivate people coming over from france on small boats by trying to create a system where people are sent to rue wwanda t processed. and that is in the courts because difficult to see that working and politicians saying even if it does get approved, there will be so few people that get sent, it won t be a demotivating factor. i think what is happening in italy is interesting. the right wing politician is really taking some of the ideas from the left which is to use aid money to invest in african
Focusing on for a long time and what many legal experts believed was part of the theory of this case along with the conspiracy to defraud the united states. the general theory is that donald trump and people around him knew he had lost the election, but they nonetheless perpetrated a fraud in a number of ways including through fund-raising, through the slates of fake electors, through using the letters of government in an effort to impede the lawful transfer of power. that s what it looks like. in terms of the third one, deprivation of rights under color of law. there s new information, for example, that special counsel has subpoenaed information about video of what was happening in fulton county. remember, that s where those two mother and daughter poll workers who testified so movingly in front of the january 6th committee said their lives had been changed by the false allegations that were made by rudy giuliani about fraud that wasn t actually fraud. in terms of the new witness, he
Mounting legal pressure facing former president donald trump, just as his incredibly crowded trial calendar is coming into sharper focus with judge aileen cannon promising a prompt decision on when his classified documents case will start. the schedule is looking to dominate the 2024 political season. right now potentially four trials over the course of six months and in total, seven court battles that could happen. we re also learning more about that letter sent to trump from the special counsel. nbc confirming it mentions three federal statutes, deprivation of rights under color of law, conspiracy to defraud the u.s. and witness tampering. until now, trump s various legal challenges have registered barely a blip, but at least one 2024 challenger is hoping the crush of charges will catch up to trump with voters. it s going to keep on going. i mean, the rest of this primary election is going to be in reference to trump is going to
End. here s another way of looking at it and i m going to get to ron desantis in a second. when you look at everyone else not only not criticizing him but defending him, you know, in talking about things like hunting republicans, i guess my question is if you re at 0 or 2% or 3%, obviously it s not working so far against donald trump. what do you have to lose? yeah, those comments are cringe worthy, and it still astonishes me that the party that claimed to be law is and order, the party that claimed to be about constitutionality issue the party that waved around sanctimoniously their pocket constitutions on the floor during barack obama s presidency has seemingly thrown all that out the window in order to continue to defend a scoff log like donald trump. it s alarming to me in a lot of of ways because, yes, chris
Nbc news correspondent tom costello has late. reporter: despite an all out push to hire more pilots faster, the nation s airlines are expecting a shortage of 34,000 pilots by 2030. after thousands left during the pandemic and with even more set to retire, under u.s. law, airline pilots must retire at the age of 65, though many insist they re better than ever. american captain dan goebel talked to us just before he was forced to retire. . you re about to turn 65, why do you want to stay in the cockpit? because i can do the job as well as a 40-year-old. pass all my faa mandated physicals, and quite frankly, i ve got more experience. experience does matter. reporter: in denver, united airlines is certifying pilots around the clock who are moving up from smaller, regional carriers, leaving the regionals short on pilots. our goal is to hire 10,000
Crimes, so many potential conspiracies for jack smith to investigate, whether it was, you know, the literal attack that donald trump launched on the capitol on january 6th trying to stop, his word, the certification of joe biden s win. of course he said stop the steal, which helps provide evidence of his corrupt intent because everyone had told him the election wasn t stolen. you have an illegal pressure campaign on mike pence trying to get him to violate the law and refuse to certify the election. and then you have this fake elector scheme, right? seven states. and i don t think anybody believes that these electors in these seven battleground states coincidentally and spontaneously decided to engage in this scheme offering fake electors trying to displace joe biden as the election winner. it has felt all along, and i think the circumstantial evidence bears this out, like a
Court, that s using force to hinder, delay the execution of u.s. law. that s the same thing the oath keepers and proud boys were convicted of. not everything will rise to a level of being able to take action but they can always seek to talk to individuals and dissuade them from doing things that might violate the law and i hope that they re deploying their resources to that right now. ben, it is surreal to have this conversation in private having worked in the government. it is indescribable to have it on live tv and to have been a part of the party that is now part of the rot and threat to domestic security in the united states. i remember and i think based on his early messages as a candidate, he won t mind if i disclose this for the first time, i remember talking to chris christie after trump said stand back and stand by to the proud boys.
Some those boxes so i can look through them. then when he was finished, they took them back. that would be sufficient intent that he was looking through these processes. the other big developing this week was of course he sensed a thing of matters to a road to get an 18 year sentence. for seditious conspiracy. help us not lawyers understand. why wouldn t trump also be guilty of seditious conspiracy if stewart rhodes was just convicted and given a sentence? this is clearly something that i think jack smith and the other non mar-a-lago related investigations are looking into. not just was did he conspire with others to commit a use of force and violence to interfere with the execution of u.s. law. that u.s. lobbying counting the electoral college ballots on january 6th. that s part of that investigation. i think it could be that jack smith will or will not come up in a public seditious conspiracy. there s also many other crimes
Exaggerating the client s threat. the court documents argued that teixeira nould shot be released on bail. he could take refuge with a foreign adversary to avoid the reach of u.s. law. prosecutors claim that the information exceeds what was disclosed on the internet. and there s pictures of the search warrant on teixeira s bedroom. there s a gun locker containing multiple weapons, an ak-style weapon, handguns and a gas mass. law enforcement also found a smashed tablet and a gaming console. he was telling those he was communicating with online to delete all messages. and if someone comes looking, don t tell them expletive.
Hundreds of documents. the defense filing aserpts teixeira no longer has access to those documents, saying prosecutors are exaggerating their client s threat. court documents filed by the u.s. attorney s office wednesday argue teixeira should not be released on bail, claiming he pose as serious flight risk, writing he could take refuge with a foreign adversary to avoid the reach of u.s. law. prosecutors claim the information teixeira allegedly accessed far exceeds what has been disclosed on the internet. the filing also includes pictures from the search warrant executed on teixeira s bedroom. the photos show a gun locker next to his bed containing multiple weapons, including an ak-style high capacity weapon, handguns, shotgun rifles, and a gas mask. prosecutors say law enforcement also found a smashed tablet, a laptop, and a gaming console in a dumpster at the home. prosecutor says teixeira also obstructed justice by telling those he was communicating with
