foreign leaders nervous about another trump presidency. he met with one of them last night, poland's president duda, a friend but also one who opposes several trump policies. carol leonnig is a reporter for "the washington post," and john kasich is the former republican governor of ohio and an msnbc political analyst. carol leonnig as someone who has followed donald trump for a long time, meeting with a former president is not out of the realm of possibility for a sitting head of state, but i wonder what you, knowing donald trump, make of the invitation for president duda to come to trump tower? >> chris, as you and i have talked about over the years, a lot of what donald trump does is performative. a lot of it is for the optics, for the television cameras. but that's no different than most politicians, right? it's just that he's better at it than a lot of people. in 2016, donald trump, the

jr., he did respond in a lengthy post on social media saying he applauds the family's decision to be politically active. that's a hallmark of all of the kennedys and their family for decades but that ultimately he's pursuing this campaign, he argues, for his own reasons, and he wants voters to look to him as an alternative in this election. chris. >> monica alba, thank you. now to that massive settlement from the justice department with the victims of former sports doctor, larry nasser. nbc's ken dilanian has new reporting on that deal. what can you tell us? >> this stems from a series of claims made by the victims of larry nassers about failures by the fbi, and those failures were documented in a 2021 department of justice inspector general report which described how complaints were made about larry nasser by u.s. gymnastics officials to fbi officials in indianapolis but those complaints were not acted on and were not passed on to fbi agents
enemy that israel's dealing with in hamas where life doesn't mean very much, i think there's a good chance that many of those hostages have died. and so it makes it that much more important to have a cease fire, to try to determine just how many of those hostages are, in fact, alive. but more importantly, to now provide the humanitarian aid that is so important to all of those victims so that we can move towards a second chapter that allows for the establishment of some kind of palestinian state. >> secretary leon panetta. it's always good to have you on the program, but particularly at a time like this. we appreciate you sharing your expertise. thank you. >> thank you, chris. and right now, president biden is speaking at an event in philadelphia where members of the kennedy family just endorsed him. we've got a live report coming up. up
that their relatives candidacy here posts a risk to democracy and a threat to this election, and that's why they wanted to come out here today. as for the president, chris, he spoke about this in very personal terms saying that robert f. kennedy was one of his idols, one of his icons, somebody that he has always tried to emulate. he has a bust of him in the oval office that he talked about looking over at occasionally for inspiration. there's a real open question here about whether this moves the needle, what kind of a robert f. kennedy jr. voter would change their mind depending on family members who openly disagreed with him and coming out and endorsing the president. that's a question the biden campaign is comfortable raising and they tell me that they wanted to do this today. they wanted to do this at this point in the cycle. they didn't want to wait longer, even though many people might not make up their minds until closer to november. in terms of robert f. kennedy
realized that trump is there, i was like, oh, wow. i couldn't believe it. he doesn't look angry. i think he looks warm, like he wants us to finish. he looked less orange definitely, like more yellowish. >> reporter: chris, she just became a u.s. citizen. this is her first call to a jury, and she could be a potential juror in a trial with the former president of the united states. unbelievable even to think about, right? looking ahead, only five seated jurors at this moment because two of them as you mentioned, dropped out. so we're looking at trying to add seven at least to complete that jury pool. >> thank you so much, yasmin. let's go to dasha burns now because she is talking about the prosecution accusing trump of violating the gag order, not once, not twice, but seven times. what's the accusation and what do we know about what judge merchan may or may not do about
come together today and deliver a very clear message. here's part of that from kerry kennedy, one of robert f. kennedy jr.'s sister. >> he has us believing again, behaving like good neighbors again, he stepped into the flames of chaos and turned it into community. thank you, joe biden. [ applause ] we want to make crystal clear our feeling that the best way forward for america is to reelect joe biden and kamala harris to four more years. a vote for joe biden is a vote for our democracy and our decency. >> reporter: kennedy family members really did put it in those terms, that they believe
the jury selection process. now, the question is, what is judge merchan going to do about this? there's going to be a hearing on tuesday. the prosecution wants to add these additional examples since monday as evidence in that hearing. and he could fine the former president. he could go as far as threatening him with jail time. i'll leave it to the lawyers to get to the details of what actually makes sense in a case like this. we have known since this gag order came into place that this was going to be a challenge given the former president often prioritizes what happens in the court of public opinion over what happens in the actual court, chris. >> thank you so much, dasha burns. now, to that split screen. you've got donald trump on trial in new york. president biden is out on the campaign trail in pennsylvania, just getting a big endorsement. nbc's monica alba is reporting from philadelphia. what happened where you are?
will judge merchan agree and do anything about it? and with trump in court, president biden scores a big name endorsement months in the making. the kennedy clan comes out in force for joe biden and against another candidate. and the hundred million dollar federal settlement for survivors of larry nasser. the justice department failures and the 100 former usa gymnasts who may finally get some closure. our nbc news reporters are following all of the latest developments. we begin right here in new york city with nbc's yasmin vossoughian who is outside the courthouse for us. so so many twists and turns already with jury selection at the former president's trial. it's about to pick up again any minute now. what's ahead? >> reporter: voir dire is next, chris. essentially they got the 18 jurors in the box. they have heard the answers to their 42 questions on the questionnaire. next step is we're going to hear from the prosecution and defense, asking them some very
