The 250 million civil lawsuit accusing him of falsely inflating his net worth for years. Before entering court mr. Trump slamming new yorks Attorney General and the judge. What he stands to lose. Also tonight, my oneonone with americas outgoing top general, mark milley. I ask him about his battles with former President Trump, how he reacted when mr. Trump suggested he be put to death for treason. Speaker Kevin Mccarthy under fire after cutting a deal to avert a Government Shutdown. Will fellow republicans force a vote to oust him . And would he cut a deal with democrats to keep his job . The urgent search for a 9yearold girl believed to have been abducted from a new york campground. An amber alert warning shes in imminent danger. The new details tonight. The Explosion Leveling A home in detroit. The investigation. Tonight, what were learning. And its one of the worlds most prestigious awards. Who are the surprise winners of the Nobel Prize In Medicine . Announcer this is nbc nightly news with lester holt. Good evening and welcome. This time we saw donald trump in court. The cameras allowed in new york today for the opening of a 250 million Civil Fraud Trial that puts mr. Trumps very image and claims of extreme wealth and success on the line. With the judge having already found the expresident fraudulently inflated the values of his properties by hundreds of millions of dollars to secure better bank terms, the case now centers on whos responsible and what the punishment should be. Tonight the former president , his company and control of his many Flagship Properties are at risk. The case is unrelated to the many criminal indictments mr. Trump is named in, but as he has in many of those cases mr. Trump is attacking the judge and in this case the new York Attorney general behind it. Laura jarrett has details. Reporter tonight donald trump once again in a courtroom, with the fate of his Business Empire now on trial. Today in court we will prove our case. Reporter new York Attorney general Letitia James accusing mr. Trump, his sons eric and don jr. , and his namesake company, the trump organization, of exaggerating the value of his Real Estate Properties including trump tower, maralago, and 40 Wall Street by over 2 billion to receive better loan terms from banks. No matter how powerful you are, no matter how much money you think you may have, no one is above the law. Reporter just outside the courtroom doors the former president attacking james, a democrat, for bringing the civil suit. Every time they give me a fake indictment i go up in the polls. Reporter and going after the judge, whos also a democrat. We have a rogue judge who rules the properties are worth a tiny fraction of 1 100. A tiny fraction of what they actually are. Reporter the republican frontrunner arguing the banks were not victims of fraud and blasting the suit as election interference. Theyre wasting everybodys time for many months on this case where banks got paid a fortune. Loan money got paid money back. Didnt even need that money. Reporter but the judge already rejected that argument, pointing out the state only needed to prove his Financial Statements were false and misleading and mr. Trumps, quote, clearly contain fraudulent valuations. The key issues now left for trial, whos to blame for that fraud and how much should be paid as a penalty. In a Deposition Video played today mr. Trump suggested checking the accuracy of Financial Statements was the task of his longtime chief Financial Officer and codefendant. Was Allen Weisselberg responsible for that . Object to the form. I would say yes. So laura, in this case the state is looking for a 250 million penalty. What else is on the line potentially . Well, lester, mr. Trump already stands to lose his ability to do business in new york state. But if he loses at this trial, he may also be forced to sell off his entire new York Portfolio to pay for that potential massive judgment, lester. All right. Laura jarrett, thank you. Donald trumps attacks lately have not just been against those connected to his legal troubles. Recently going after the general who served under him as joint chiefs chairman, general mark milley, and suggesting milleys actions warranted the death penalty. I sat down with General Milley recently, just days in fact before his retirement, to get his response to mr. Trumps remarks as well as deeper insight into the tense and complicated relationship between the two men. Much of general mark milleys Military Career was spent in harms way, especially if you include the reported and rumored battles at the white house. Your legacy and Donald Trumps legacy are intertwined. Have you accepted that . Well, i think i mean, thats a fact. Look, im not the president or was president. Im merely an adviser to the president. To two president s, actually. And our paths crossed. And i think that history will obviously connect the two of us together. Sure. Some people would say youre downplaying the significance. I mean, you became a Household Name in many ways because of the reported clashes between you and the then president. Yeah. Generals dont have clashes with president s. I think some of that is overstated, frankly, about clashes, like raised voices and arguments and all that kind of stuff. I rendered to President Trump just like i rendered to president biden. I gave him various courses of action and options. Reporter but milley was often described as a guardrail against the former president s impulses and made this apparent parting swipe at the former president during his retirement remarks. We dont take an oath to a wannabe dictator. Reporter a few days before the election you were making it known that the army, the military would play no role in determining the outcome sure. Of the election. Why did you feel the need to say that . Was that a specific concern that you had . There was a lot of discussion in the open media about the u. S. Military and what role we would play and so on. So i wanted to make sure it was clear to the american people, to our adversaries, to our friends and allies overseas but also to our own force, to us wearing the uniform, that we have zero and i mean zero role in u. S. Electoral politics. And you assured the chinese at one point, your chinese counterpart, that essentially the u. S. Was okay, the u. S. Was stable. Is that a fair characterization . Yeah, thats right. And the secretary asked me to make a call and we did that. Reporter last week in a social media post former President Trump attacked milley for that call. With regard to your talking to the chinese he said, this is an act so egregious that in times gone by the punishment would have been death. A war between china and the u. S. Could have been the result of this treasonous act. Thats from a former Commander In Chief to a sitting chairman of the joint chiefs. How do you respond to that . Everyones entitled to their opinion. And ive served my country faithfully for 4 1 2 consecutive decades in peace and war. And my family has made enormous sacrifices for this country and my mother and father before me and grandparents before them. So ill take a back seat to no one on loyalty to this country, and my loyalty is to the constitution. Its to a document. Its never to an individual. And thats the loyalty of every single one of us in uniform. Reporter during milleys tenure there was the chaotic afghanistan withdrawal when 13 u. S. Service members were killed in a terror attack. Many of their families criticizing milley for a lack of accountability. Has anyone been held accountable to what went wrong with the afghanistan withdrawal . Well, if you mean has anyone been specifically punished in some way, no. But look, lester, that war didnt end the way anybody wanted it to end. This is a 20year war. There were decisions made over 20 years that landed us where we did. Reporter and a warning from milley about the threat from china following that spy balloon. How would you characterize their Espionage Efforts . Chinese espionage is quite good. Have they infiltrated the pentagon . Have they infiltrated the u. S. Military . Well, i cant imagine that they havent tried anyway. Im not going to go over details of what theyve infiltrated and not infiltrated. But they are a very capable intelligence collection organization. Part of my conversation with General Milley. Two days after congress narrowly averted a Government Shutdown there is a new crisis at the capitol tonight with the House Speaker fighting for his job and a new shutdown deadline just six weeks away. Ryan nobles has the latest. Reporter tonight the chaos continues on capitol hill. Im going to be doing it this week. Reporter just days after congress narrowly averted a Government Shutdown florida congressman matt gaetz promising he will move this week to remove House SpeakerKevin Mccarthy from his post. If somebody wants to make a motion against me, bring it. Reporter gaetz is set to put into Motion A Process Where Mccarthy would once again be fighting for his job. With no guarantees the speaker will have the 218 votes necessary to hang on. South carolina congresswoman nancy mace is considering a new leader. If you make a promise and you dont keep it, you know, all bets are off. Reporter while new yorks Mark Molinaro believes mccarthy deserves to stay on. The people i represent and i do not have the tolerance, the patience nor the interest in engaging in some sort of pseudo psychopolitical theater. Reporter if a small group of republicans decide to join gaetz, it will require democrats to help mccarthy keep his job. We are going to have to evaluate that together in a Family Discussion with democrats when it happens. Reporter Katherine Clark is the second ranking democrat in the house and said their conference has yet to decide on how theyll handle mccarthys future. Can you trust Kevin Mccarthy . We have a lot of trust issues. Reporter the trust issues exist in part because mccarthy backed out of a deal set in june for spending levels as part of the next budget. Now with a new 45day deadline the clock is ticking. With the challenge of coming to a bipartisan agreement on the budget or face another shutdown. I strongly urge my republican colleagues in the congress not to wait 44 days. Dont waste time like you did this summer. And ryan, another story i know youre covering there on the hill, californias governor has selected who will replace senator dianne feinstein. Reporter thats right, lester. And Governor Newsom said that he didnt want to tip the scales in the race to replace senator feinstein, so he chose not to appoint one of the are vying for the seat. Instead he tapped laphonza butler. Shes 44 years old. Shell be the first openly gay black woman in the senate. Butler has not said if shell seek the seat longterm. She will be sworn in to the seat tomorrow. Lester . Ryan nobles, thank you. Now to what Kristen Dahlgren joins us live. And kristen, Charlotte Sena has been found okay, we understand. Reporter lester, just an incredible end to this twoday search. It was about 6 45 eastern when we started to notice state police, troopers leaving here where they have been searching with their lights going, peeling out of here, and then we got confirmation from the new York State Police that 9yearold Charlotte Sena has been found alive. They do have a suspect in custody. It was saturday evening around dinnertime when she was biking with friends here at this state park. And then she wanted to go for one more loop by herself, and thats when her family says she disappeared almost into thin air. They found her bicycle, but there was no sign that tipped off. A massive, massive search here over the past two days. But again, tonight we know she has been found alive, lester. And kristen, what is the family saying about all this . Reporter oh, just an incredible moment, lester. They just came out to thank the media for keeping her story out there. They were celebrating. They were cheering. They said shes alive. They said well try and keep it down. They havent been able to talk to her yet. They havent been able to see her. But they are just ecstatic that the little girl that they have been looking for is now safe. She is with authorities. And they hope to reunite with her soon, leicester. And im glad we can report it.
