trump team denies that was what was taking place. even if that were what happened. it's not against the law. the allegation of law-break something that you didn't keep records correctly. that you mismarked. >> ainsley: charges a legal fee. >> will: even at that, that's a misdemeanor that had expired on the statute of limitations. then he turns it into an election fraud thing, which he doesn't have jurisdiction on. the fec as matt points out has passed on it and uses that to make it a felony that is still active. that's why i asked my question. it's super weird to have two lawyers sitting on a jury. you kind of look at it and go i think the gamble is those two lawyers will go you don't see what everyone watching what the four of us see. that's not appropriate use of the law. >> brian: not if one of those lawyers wants to be a contributor on msnbc. >> will: right. >> brian: i see a lot of these lawyers on these other channels actually think this case is good and strong. which makes me think really

wasn't true in the first place. to suggest because it was right before the 2016 election that somehow that's a violation of federal campaign finance law. the fec and southern district of new york looked at the same fact pattern and decided it wasn't a violation of the law. this is where alvin bragg gets too far over his skis and legal theory where the jury will be confused and then decide this is not a violation of the law. >> will: matt whitaker thank you so much for being here this morning. >> >> ainsley: supreme court set to discuss if trump has the presidential immunity. he says if you are president then you are immune to a criminal trial because it would effect president's decisions. if you know when you leave office you're going to be in trouble for something that you did while you were president. >> will: ainsley, i really liked your message to matt. it is confusing for everyone. it's not against the law to pay someone for their silence. but the way and that's the allegation, by the way, the

typical nondisclosure agreement. it's a little unclear from what we know right now, whether the president knew or didn't know. but i will tell you michael cohen has said publicly and has filed with, i think, the fec a statement that is going to be inconsistent with his upcoming testimony. so the question that michael cohen is going to have to face you are a convicted purger. were you lying now or lying then. you had a judge who should have confused and massive conflict with his daughter's outside work. i think this whole case, ultimately, is going to crumble because it doesn't work under the law and especially under the facts. >> will: you know, matt, i think over the next couple weeks we will fall down the are a bit hole details arguing about the facts of the case. that's important. that's what a trial is for. one of the things i find fascinating that both the prosecution and the defense said yeah, we'll take two lawyers on

Trump on Trial New York v. Donald Trump

it's a legal expense. that's not what is alleged. he's also minimizing it, that it's never happened before. no former president has ever allegedly done the things that he's done. he's saying that the federal government is doing this, this is political. this has nothing to do with the federal government. in fact, he said why did the southern district, meaning the federal government take this case? the federal government didn't take this case. this is a manhattan district attorney who took this case. he's talking both ways about that. he's saying why didn't the federal election people look into it. everyone knows the fec, federal election commission is tied 50/50, has not come up with a decision countering any kind of issue for decades actually, they have been stalemated. so that's not the people that would have come in after them for election interference. >> we know that donald trump

judicial system we have. our nation looks contemptible because of this like some kind of tin-pot dictatorship. now never forget bragg's indictment against trump's is farcical. he accused trump of making payments to cover up the bill and need that the d.a. bragg didn't charge him with because he can't hear this allegedmpai campaign finance violation, that is a federal issue. the fec passed on the trump cae years ago. come see the amazing alvin alvin bragg! he wt a badmagician bu one. he was trying to pull a rabbit out of a visor, abracadabra, noc watch him make the constitution disappeared. during oral arguments at the supreme court yesterday, justict neil gorsuch spoke brilliantly about the dual standards of justice, specifically inreferencing how left-wing protesters seem to always get

customers experienced outage when a third party company physically cut their fiber when installing a light pole. the fec is investigating. if the outages are beginning to sound awfully commonplace there may be a reason for that several large companies including at&t, verizon, mcdonald's and facebook, to say nothing of instagram have all been hit with recent outages prompting federal investigations. worse yet, several air carriers haveline slammed by outages. we are talking about hundreds of flights being delayed. ground stoppages, stranding thousands in the process. and in some cases, yes, there were lines that were intentionally cut, in other cases well they remain under investigation. this is, of course, intensifying not just the scrutiny but intensifying the looks from regulators and congressional lawmakers as well. >> laura: very disturbing. >> it is. >> laura: thank you very much. >> you bet. >> laura: joining me now is missouri senator josh hawley. we have no idea whether any of these disruptions are connected

paying are not paying legal bills his campaign is now in there thirst for money asking republican candidates and committees who are using the trump name and likeness to fundraise, to give at least 5% of what they raise back to the trump campaign. just a reminder. some of this money is going to pay his legal bills here. that's according to a letter obtained by cnn. i mean, how is that unusual how of course it is yes. certainly. i just picture like all his trump campaign staffers going through the fec reports that campaigns have to fall awesome. me like, oh, okay. they had a good here, kick up your 5% i mean, really like, where does this end? why is it only 5%? why didn't you start sooner apparently, if everyone's going to roll over and say, sure, i'll kick it up. it isn't going to end with just 5%. you are part of this unfolding asking for trouble. i'm amazed it was on the other party with the letter. okay. it says any split that is higher than 5% will be seen favourably by the rnc and the president's campaign is easily reported to
