Of the combination of the lawyers and the campaign staff didn t know about it, and were opposed to it, kind of ultimately killed that. kristie, is trump testing will limits of not just judges, but even his own legal team? if so, what are the dangers of him doing that? well, i think trump lawyers know what they ve gotten into with this particular client. maybe not listening. so certainly, having any kind of a conference you know, press conference as a criminal defendant is something any good defense attorney is going to tell their client not to do. because anything you say there can be used against you. we know there is no proof that he won the election, and if he have that proof, we would ve seen it already. he had over 60 lawsuits where he presented no such evidence. he had an opportunity. his lawyers had an opportunity to meet with the special counsel s office before he was charged in that case. if they had really solid evidence that would ve exonerated him, surely, they would ve brought that to the special counsel s office and
Our chief of staff is engaged in. that is an act of the campaign. he sent the text to the georgia secretary of state chief investigator about ways the campaign could assist financially in speeding up the fulton county signature verification process. again, nothing to do with his role as the chief of staff. that is squarely in the role of someone assisting with the campaign. and then you have his participation on the so-called perfect call on january 1st. the georgia secretary of state. where, he moves, he was seeking on that call to get information for data that would support their claims of election fraud. again, none of that relates to his official duties, so i think he will lose this notion, and i think it will remain in state court. wow, what are, you some kind of prosecutor? and listening to this going, she just made the whole case. let me just ask a quick question to you, who go. trump giuliani have indicated they want to do the same thing, try to bounce this from the state court in georgia to federal court. will that happen? well, giuliani at that point
Looking to effectuate their scheme and not charging the person who was benefiting from. it so i expect that you will see charges against donald trump, as well as his allies. we know she sent over a dozen target letters. target letters means she s got the goods on you. so expect to see a sprawling conspiracy charge here with, i think, donald trump multiple allies. given, that kristie, in response to the interference indictment by jack smith s grand story, trump s team and his allies are pushing east free speech defense. smith argues a great lengths in the indictments that trump was indicted for what he dudes. not what he said. with the first amendment defense holding up in georgia, especially with india willis brings rico charges. there is no first amendment exception for committing criminal conduct for agreeing to commit a crime or conspiring or attempting to commit a crime
Warning in this? are those who actually finds him in contempt or do something much more stark in the manner of this? we know what he s going to do when he continues to do it in the attacks everyone, he can t help himself. donald trump is who he is in those but i think that she is going to try the rain doesn t as much as possible. let s bring in former federal prosecutor and former southern district of new york criminal division deputy chief. kristie, thank you so much for being here. here come all the legal questions. what does the news about two witnesses are set to testify on tuesday signal about today fani willis s timeline? should we also expect to see charges brought on tuesday? it depends on whether or not those two individuals were given a 48-hour notice, which would suggest that things are wrapping up. there is not the public recording to suggest whether
Of brain health. to help keep me sharp. neuriva: think bigger. more now on the new restrictions facing donald trump as he takes on the treacherous endeavor of campaigning on his multiple criminal indictments. in the face of a new protection order, preventing him from ranting about evidence in the election fraud case. joining me now, christie greenberg, former federal prosecutor in the southern district of new york, and luke broadwater, new york times congressional reporter. good to have you both here. ladies first here, kristie. so, judge chutkan wrote, the governments motions granted in part and the night in parts. how about you? what is your assessment?
He should be able to do some things that other criminal defendants would not be able to get away with. and she made that very clear, she considers his presidential run just a day job, just like anybody else. he s got to follow the law not intimidate witnesses, not lash out at witnesses and social media, and the like, the there is an issue here, though, which is that regular criminal defendants to sometimes get jailed if they attack witnesses. if they violate eight judges commands, and you know, so, and to bring that to the leading presidential candidates for the republican party and the former president would be a huge, huge step. so, i think the judge will be very cautious and reluctant before attempting to take such a step such as arrest or interest of donald trump. it would be difficult to keep politics out of the courtroom were that to happen, we must say. so, kristie, this is
Are you ready for why? because his lawyer didn t fill out the notice with the court. i have questions about that one. and in michigan, nine alleged big electors were arraigned earlier today. the fake electors plot is a key part of jack smith s d.c. indictment, the federal one, but these were state charges. all nine defendants entered not guilty pleas. with that, let s get smarter with the help of our leadoff panel this evening. peter baker is here in a, tai chi fight as correspondent for the new york times, luke broadwater, more casual, pulitzer prize-winning congressional ford for the new york times and christie greenberg, former fdny camilla vision deputy chief joins me here at 30 rock. i m a start with you, kristie. what do you expect from this protective order here tomorrow morning at 10 am sharp? both sides have versions of the protective order that they want the judge to consider and i expect that the judge is going to lean more in the direction of the government s
York times and christie greenberg, former fdny camilla vision deputy chief joins me here at 30 rock. i wanna start with you, kristie. what do you expect from this protective order here tomorrow morning at 10 am sharp? both sides have versions of the protective order that they want the judge to consider and i expect that the judge is going to lean more in the direction of the government s proposed protective order because really what donald trump and his team want to do is have more that is not protected, that can be public, and you may say to yourself what s wrong with that? the public wants to know what the evidence is in this case. but there are lots of risks involved in that. you can see him cutting and pasting and taking things out of context and having evidence that is inadmissible that would taint the jury pool. evidence of witness transcripts, witness interviews, where you could really be seeking to intimidate witnesses. we have seen him do that on social media, particularly with his former vice president. and just ways to undermine the integrity.
Kristie, talking about the judge, the obama appointed judge. he then goes into a conspiracy theory about a conflict of interest that is taken from a website publishing some of the most ludicrous and easily debunked aspects of the big lie about how joe biden lost the election. so that s where he s getting, that s where he sourcing it. so let s try to sink, kristy, if this were any other defendant posted on social media about the judge, what would you expect? first you look at the serious nature of the charges that are involved here. and january six charges talked about exploiting violence, exploiting a mob mentality in order to get to overturning the results of the democratic election. so given the nature of the seriousness of those charges and his dangerous rhetoric, i would hope that judge chutkan wastes no time here in creating a record that would support, eventually imposing a gag
Unindicted coconspirators. one thing is clear. every party understands that this is a test of what the legal process that trump is used and abused for decades to escape accountability will be used to give him another shot at control over a country whose government he tried to destroy. christie greenberg is a former federal prosecutor for the southern district of new york which she served as deputy chief for the criminal division. and sort of the public integrity unit in the department of justice. both join me now. let me start in his speed process question for you, kristie. the judge says give me dates. the lawyer says ah, we can t make this week work, she comes back and says friday it is. what do you make of that? trump s team never said the friday didn t work for them. video said friday wasn t an option because the judge had asked them to come up with dates before three days so she seized on that.
