While so historic de the Supreme Court about to hear a case that could upend every single trump prosecution. Plus more angry clashes on College Campuses overnight, protesters facing off with police over the war in gaza all right, 6 00 a. M. Here in washington, this is a live look at New York City where donald trump is expected to make something of a Campaign Stop a photoop here in just a few minutes, well bring any news out of that as it unfolds, its a pretty classic scene from trumps days as a real estate mogul in new york. Good morning, everyone. Im kasie hunt. Its great to have you with us it is an incredibly consequential thursday for former President Donald Trump. And honestly for the country with the Supreme Court set to hear historic arguments about whether hes immune from prosecution over the events of january 6 for trump, but he also has to face his Hush Money Trial. Thats set to resume today in new york but first, lets get to Breaking News overnight from arizona, where numerous trump allies are among 18 people indicted in an alleged election subversion scheme. The list includes the former president s chief of staff, mark meadows. And as former personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani trump himself, also named as an unindicted coconspirator. The indictment includes nine counts from Conspiracy Jersey and forgery to engaging in fraudulent schemes. At the core of those charges. Is this moment it was captured on video and shared by the arizona gop in december of 2020. Take a look. It shows 11 members of the States Republican Party signing a document to submit to congress falsely claiming that trump won the election in arizona. He did not. Joe biden, one arizona by about 10,000 votes are panels here. Former federal prosecutor Elliot Williams, ron brownstein, senior editor, the atlantic, former Trump Administration Communications Director mike dub key and kate bedingfield, former Biden Administration communication chins director. Good morning. To all of you. A elliot, lets just dig into this Arizona Arizona news because of course, donald trump is an unindicted coconspirator here. But this is another example weve seen it play out in a couple of other states where they tried to send these fake electors to washington. It really underscores two me, the breadth of the scheme that was playing out around the election the scheme thats playing out around the election, and the patchwork of laws around the country in different Prosecutors Offices that have chosen to approach these cases in different ways. Here you see sort of a hodgepodge, a mix fake electors themselves, these sort of people that nobodys heard of . No, theyre not national figures, but also people connected to the former president himself, notably, not the former president , but still two former top aides who are as close to him as anybody else, right . Other states have chosen to do it differently only choosing to go after fake electors. Now again, some of that is based on individual state law. Some of that is conservatism or sort of aggressiveness on the part of prosecutors. Its just going to vary around the country. Yeah ron sort of big picture here. I mean, Rudy Giuliani is already out of money. I mean, we saw i think it was john ellis who was crying and court in georgia but over this clearly, this is one on a long list for many of these people whats going on here that you think is distinct, big picture. We are all brought up. We are all taught in school known as Above The Law and america and the legal system is creaking and straining and wrenching to see if that is still true. I mean the many trials are donald trump, the fact that he hasnt unindicted coconspirator in arizona on the same day that he is on trial in new york in the Stormy Daniels and the hush money and the Election Interference case. And he is he is arguing before the Supreme Court when you have when you have a political figure with this level of following and this level of all of resources, the question of whether the legal system can truly impose accountability, i think is being tested in a way we have never seen in american history. And the answer, i think is still in the balance. Its not really clear that the legal system can cope with this level of challenge or or this level of resources. Let me remind everyone what Rudy Giuliani had to say back on January 6 Of 2021 about the legal system that ron is talking about. Watch if we are wrong, we will. Weve made fools of. But if were right, a lot of them will go to jail lets have trial by combat trial by combat. Mike deb kids now, giuliani and other Trump Associates facing jail here, right how do you, as someone who served in the trump and mr. Me now frankly, the trump folks are trying to undermine the credibility of the system, a system that giuliani sounds like wouldve been happy to use if it had been on his sayyed. Well, it sounds like according to add, a lot of fools go to jail, so we might have that problem going on here the issue that i find this fascinating sitting on the political side rather than the legal side of this table is what took so long why are we in such, why are we now in the, in the cusp of a National Election . Finally, having a grand jury, even hear this in arizona. So there are a lot of people and the arguments being made that these are political trials. And unfortunately i think with the doj taking its sweet time and these State Attorney Josh Minerals are also being delayed. That it plays into the narrative that this is this is politics by another means. This is politics through the court. Well, dont forget in arizona, there was a shift in power in 20 those Republican Attorney general who would not investigate this before 2022. So that is but i think your example on the federal level bidens choice of merrick garland, who by all indications did not move aggressively on this until the january 6 committee forced his hand i has had enormous consequences in the sense that it is going to be very difficult for them to get trump on trial on the key issue before voters have to decide whether to return or the power. Well, but remember, yes, but remember, i mean, the attorney the Attorney General the Attorney Generals decision to move methodically was also an effort to make the entire case bulletproof. To this kind of argument, argument that it was pulling luckily motivated that he was using the levers of government to persecute try to turn out, i mean, as a cause for it for question for ellie, but in theory was almost like it was kind of an investigation. We start at the low level and then work your way up with starting with the people who actually storm the capital. Good, that investigation really have that much to do with the ultimate indictment of donald trump . And they really were separate. I mean, there was no reason to wait until you had convicted proud boys before you investigated donald trump and january 6 without the action of the january 6 committee. Its not clear they ever would have acted and they have put themselves in this situation. I look, i think theres no question you can make an argument that things shouldve been sequenced differently or that garland should have been more aggressive. I thats fair. But i think from a politico from a political perspective, i think it was also important to try to lay down as Solid Foundation as possible that this wasnt a politically motivated process. Now whether that was the right call are not i would say its like part of the selling point for joe biden getting elected was the idea that justice apartment investigations, but not be politicized and time to election calendars and so on. And if people got that and didnt like it, because what you end up with a prosecutions than taking a long time. The other thing is sort of to quote, that theyre affecting the next election mean. Thats whats called the part you come at the king, you best not miss these prosecutors had to be certain that what they had was airtight and even now, youre seeing a lot of legal challenges to wouldve been even worse have been rushed it yeah. Okay. That is a nice little summation of the quagmire we all find ourselves in here in this country heading into the next election up next year, were standing by hi in New York City where any moment now donald trump is expected, hes not a Morning Person, but hes apparently going to make an Early Morning Campaign Stops.

Martin sunday at nine on cnn all right, now to a developing story, donald trump is making a lastminute are first minute Early Morning Campaign Stop ahead of his Hush Money Trial. Its set to resume in just a. Few hours in New York City. And our Kristen Holmes is onscene in manhattan with the latest at kristen, donald trump is not a known Morning Person at whats going on here yeah it gave me well, thats absolutely right. No part of the pitch here with me and talking to a senior advisers is that he had to do this because the fact that he is in trials. So heres where we are. We are at the the corner of park avenue where gordon seemed to be Jp Morgan Headquarters as a Construction Site right now, donald trump is going to be working with talking to some of these Construction Workers as well as some Union Members. What are the things we know that he is planning to do in the november election is try and drive a wedge between president joe biden, a core democratic stronghold Union Members. Now, while the big unions, many of them have endorsed mr. Joe biden, his team, Donald Trumps believes that they have some power over some of the Rank And File members and they are trying to get as many votes as possible, particularly in the states where its its going to matter, states like michigan, wisconsin, and even pennsylvania. All of those Battleground States that donald trump won in 2016 and then lost in 2020. But of course, the big day for donald trump is its not going to be here and talking to these Union Members what its going to be in court, both in washington, dc, where hell be monitoring his team, making those Immunity Arguments, but also in new york where were going to hear more from david pecker and its kind of salacious testimony while donald trump has to sit in the courtroom all day. And again, this is kind of what we starting to see as a pattern for donald trump in terms of how he is navigating both the courtroom and the campaign trail. They are looking for things to do locally because he can travel other than on wednesdays and saturdays. And as we saw last week, its saturday rally ended up being canceled because of weather giving him no other opportunities to campaign. So theyve really resign themselves. That again is donald trump to this idea that hes going to be stuck in court. Kristen, can i ask you on that point, didnt they ask the court in new york if they could have today to go down to the Immunity Arguments at what did the court say and also do you think he actually would have gone if hed been allowed to . I know that they didnt do it the last time there was a Supreme Court question, did they really want him to go today to the Supreme Court arguments they did ask to go they are not allowed to go down there. He sas to sit through this trial. Does a criminal trial in new york, however, whether or not he would have actually attended is known. You will note, as you said, he didnt attend last time, there were arguments in the Supreme Court and i was very intentional. The reason being that they wanted it to show that this was a serious process. They didnt like optics, didnt sitting there and looking at the Supreme Court, they didnt want him to make any kind of spectacle around the Supreme Court. They dont view that as a quote, unquote Campaign Stop the way that they have really treated so many other its, trial appearances all right. Fair enough. Kristen holmes for us. Kristen. Thank you very much. Lets now if you get a question to the former president will come back, talk to you about it . All right. We also want to get to this new video, overnight clashes with police in riot gear at Emerson College in boston during propalestine demonstrations. And House Speaker mike johnson was booed for the full 18 minutes that he spoke in front of a crowd of students at Columbia University yesterday good man.
