joining me now, nbc news justice correspondent, pete williams. pete, what more can you tell us about this? >> well, he's john shafer, he's 53 years old, he's from indiana. and he is a member of the oathkeepers. he describes himself as a lifetime founding member of the oathkeepers. this is a still picture from the government's original charging document against him, accusing him of entering the capitol with bear spray and using it on capitol police officers. you'll see the photo of the circle in his hand that the government says showed him deploying and preparing to deploy bear spray. but in the plea agreement today, he does not plead guilty to that. the government filed the charges only of entering the capitol without authority and trying to obstruct congress. in return, he has agreed to cooperate with the government and they will them what he knows about what led him into coming to the capitol. he says in his court documents in his admission that he was among the very first five or six people to get inside the building. it's significant, because

sources have confirmed to nbc news. and as we mentioned, it is a major escalation in the criminal investigation that stems from giuliani's various dealings inside the country of ukraine. so joining me now is nbc news correspondent ken dilanian and former fbi senior official msnbc legal analyst chuck rosenberg. so ken, let's get at the delay. this search warrant in some ways, this is an investigation that's been going on for quite some time. the investigators have wanted this search warrant for quite some time but it had been delayed. explain the delay and why today. >> that's right, chuck. i don't think we know the full reasons for the delay. but our colleague tom winter and the "new york times" have reported that the fbi was seeking -- was asking the success department to go to court and get this search warrant for a long time during the trump administration and was meeting resistance. and we can all draw our own conclusions about what was going on there. but the search warrant has now been executed. and what it means

new nbc news polling shows 53% approve of the president's job so far. that is higher than donald trump but lower than barack obama. and while biden is getting high marks on issues liked coronavirus and the economy, there are warning signs of the administration on topics of guns and immigration. >>> plus on capitol hill, lawmakers on both sides of the aisle seem to be inching closer to agreement on potential police reform legislation. this morning vice president kamala harris joining the calls for congressional action. >> this is but a piece of it, this verdict. it will not heal the pain that existed for generations, that has existed for generations, among people who have experienced and firsthand witnessed what now a broader public is seeing, because of smartphones and the ubiquity of our ability to videotape in realtime, what is happening in front of our faces. and that's just the reality of it. and that's why -- that's why congress needs to act. >> a bit later this hour, reverend al sharpton's take on the push for action amid several new fatal police

and when it comes to the economy, both the nbc news poll and "washington post" abc news poll have him at 52% and the cbs at 57%. the president's infrastructure and jobs plan is also popular with most american, 59% support the propose until the nbc news poll, and 52% in the "washington post" survey, and 58% in the cbs poll. however, the situation at the southern border continues to take a toll on the president's immigration ratings. 59% disapprove of how he's handling immigration, according to nbc, and the "washington post" poll shows 53% disapproval, and the cbs poll, 57% disapproval. president biden does have a big week lined up ahead. on wednesday, he is set to deliver an address before a joint session of congress. according to a senior democratic aide, this event is invitation only for a limited number of members of congress due to continued covid health and safety protocols. there will likely be around 200 total people in the chamber. but a final determine nation has not yet been made. >>> meanwhile on thursday the president and the first lady will travel to atlanta for his 100th

nbc news political editor carrie dan, who is our nbc news polls expert. it's wonderful to see both of you and have this kind of conversation. we have a little news coming out of the house gop retreat down in orlando. it almost feels like they've gone to go visit their leader in exile or something like that. but we're seeing this split and on display between kevin mccarthy, the house minority leader and liz cheney, who, of course, voted to impeach former president trump and continues to say she does not think there's a role for him in the future of the republican party. let's watch what leader mccarthy had to say and then we'll talk about it. take a look. >> is cheney still a good fit for your leadership team, do you believe? >> that's a question for the conference. >> but what do you believe? >> i think from a perspective if you're sitting here at a retreat that's focused on policy and focused on the future of making america's next century and you're talking about something else, you're not being productive. >> awkward. leann, what do you make of what he

nbc news spent months uncovering abuse at cla rinda academy. we spoke with former staff and residents, including mahogany chambers who said she been sexually assaulted by a counselor. >> he started being sexually aggressive and kissing on me. >> you weren't expecting that? >> no, i was in shock. he pulled down his pants, and he penetrated and said don't tell nobody. >> did you feel like he had the power over you? >> yeah. >> sequel fired the counselor, calling his actions egregious and totally unacceptable. another allegation came from jesus lopez, a former washington state foster child placed at clarinda, who says four staff members hurt him repeatedly after he tried running away. >> they kept slamming my butt against the floor. and my head was hitting the floor. >> sequel said staff did not use proper restraint technique and that all employees involved received disciplinary action. back in oregon, senator gelser was growing concerned. >> i came to understand that, in a desperation to find places for kids, we had put our trust in these organiz

joining me from moscow, nbc news correspondent matt bodnar. talk to us what we saw what happened in court and what do we know about the latest investigation? >> reporter: thank you, ayman. obviously, one of the biggest draws was the opportunity for someone to see navalny for the first time since the hunger strike ended but for me what really stuck out was his performance in court. he brought his defiance with him. he gave this very fiery speech which he essentially used to characterize putin's entire regime as an option force that is essentially siphoning this country dry at the expense of ordinary russians. and so, you know, navalny, characteristic defiance. but outside of the courtroom some very important things happened today. as you mentioned navalny's team says that new charges have been filed against navalny and two of his senior associates. basically, being accused of opening an organization that infringes on the rights of citizens. it's a strong charge but it carries with it the maximum penalty of two or three years if prosecuted. we c

in a brand-new exclusive nbc news poll. georgia has got a lot of meaning for biden. he won with the democrats in the senate to the utter disbelief of the delusional former president and select sycophantic republicans. also promoted $1.9 trillion american rescue plan but that trip changed drastically following the deadly mass shootings at three atlanta area spas. six of the eight people killed were asian american women and the focus shifted to the spike in asian american hate since the start of the pandemic. biden's 100 day in office comes amid the aftermath of former police officer derek chauvin being found guilty in a court of law of murdering george floyd. and as we as a country and a community continue to take stock of where things stand for the future of policing, justice and accountability. a stark report from the associated press reveals in the 24 hours after the chauvin verdict, there were at least six more police killings across the united states with various circumstances surrounding each of them. they include 16-year-old makiyah bryant in ohio. the followin

well, administration officials tell nbc news they have a full-media blitz planned today. including, local-tv interviews, across dozens of tv stations. and as well as on social media. you saw that message, led by the president. they also have the vice president out there, speaking on this. dr. fauci. some of the other top surrogates. there seem to be two themes we are hearing from the administration that they're trying to get out there. one is that this process is a lot simpler than people might think. there was all that confusion, and the waits and the requirements, early on. they are trying to get the message out that -- that's, for the most part, been stripped away. it's not the confusing system that it was back in december or january. the other is trying to, not only get over this hesitancy but, kind of, reassure people that these vaccines work. because as you said, you see those increasing numbers as millions of people are getting vaccinated, every day. so, we continue to hear administration officials talking about and rolling out new studies that show the vaccines ar

he is at 53% approval on the latest nbc news poll. 52% approval on the new "washington post"/abc news poll. and 58% in the cbs u.gov survey. according to nbc news numbers, that puts him ahead of president trump's first 100 days, but behind president obama'ses and george w. bush. president biden also received high marks for his handling of the country's most pressing issues. on the pandemic, his approval is at 69% in the nbc news poll. "the washington post" survey puts him at 64%, and the cbs poll at 65%. the cbs news poll also shows 72% of americans approve of how he's handled the vaccine distribution. when it comes to the economy, both nbc news poll and "washington post"/abc poll have him at 52% approval. the cbs/u.gov poll is at 57%. the president's infrastructure and jobs plan is also popular with most americans. 59% support the proposal in the nbc news poll, 52% in "the washington post" poll, and 58% from cbs news. the situation at the southern border continues to take a poll on the president's immigration ratings. 59% disapprove of how he's handling immigration, according to the

nbc news pentagon correspondent courney kube has the very latest on this. hey, courtney. >> reporter: we've learned a couple of new things about this case today, eamon. one of the main headlines here is that they are saying that they now believe that vanessa guillen was sexually harassed by one of her supervisors, by one of her supervisors at ft. hood. they detail one specific incident in late summer in 2019, when one of her supervisors made an inappropriate sexual comment to her. she told several of her fellow soldiers about it at the time. they reported it to unit leadership, and critically, no one did anything about it. that is one of the headlines that came out of this 156 army investigation report that was released today. the report also and the investigators also found that in addition to the sexual harassment, she was also mistreated by this supervisor. he singled her out. we don't know who this individual is, too, eamon, i should point out that. the army is not releasing the individual's name, but they are saying that the investigating officer found

joining us now is nbc news leigh ann caldwell on capitol hill. so what does this all mean for the infrastructure push? >> well, geoff, that's right. the infrastructure plan did get a boost by this ruling by the senate parliamentarian. but the road ahead is also quite bumpy because just because the parliamentarian says they can use this reonciliation process that we were talking about just a few weeks ago, the fact they can use it again, means democrats have to get all 50 of their own on the same page. and they're not quite there yet. senator joe manchin of west virginia has expressed concerns about the corporate tax rate, raising that to 28%. he says he doesn't want to go much above 25%. but he's not alone. senator mark warner of virginia, although he wasn't specific on what his concerns were, he said that he's not completely on board with the biden plan just yet either. so there's still a lot of negotiations that have to be done among democrats. and as far as republicans are concerned, it seems like democrats are going alone, but the white house

joining us now, tom winter, nbc news investigations correspondent and nbc news correspondent leigh ann caldwell is on capitol hill for us. tom, i think the acting police chief said it so poignantly today when she said this has been an extremely difficult time for capitol police. what do we know? what are you learning about what happened here? >> well, chris, perfectly said. good afternoon. i think the issue here for law enforcement at this moment is confirming that the person that they believe drove this vehicle through a barricade, into this barricade, this blue car you're looking at on the left side of the screen exited that vehicle with a knife, was shot and succumbed to his injuries. who that person is they obviously know. we can't see it. they obviously know who that car is registered to, who the plate is. they probably have pulled a license off of the suspect at this point. now you need to try to match that information up and make sure in fact the person who that car is registered to is the person who tried to attack the capitol today. let's just call it what it is. we also know

from nbc news world headquarters in new york, i'm joshua johnson. welcome to "the week." >>> this week president biden unveiled the american jobs plan and today the administration went to work selling it. cabinet members made the rounds on the sunday shows. >> i think it's important that we upgrade our definition of infrastructure. one that meets the needs of a 21st century economy, and we need to be funding and incentivizing those structures which allow us to maximize economic activity. >> this is the american jobs act, it is also focused on good paying jobs in sectors to help us win the future, the biggest investment in america since fdr, since the new deal. >> jobs are obviously key to the sales pitch, and the white house says the plan would create about 19 million of them. hiring is going pretty well right now. the march jobs report shows 916,000 more jobs and unemployment fell slightly to 6%. infrastructure is kind of washington's running joke about the last bastion of bipartisanship. but the biden administration says it's down for that. >> the

this is our shot. >>> new reporting from nbc news is uncovering how thousands of americans, elite military members who are charged with protecting our nation are actually undercover extremists. a detailed review of social media by nbc journalists found that thousands of u.s. military members have been propagating racist views, lies about the 2020 election and even qanon theories in groups on facebook. in one post an image of a noose was used to respond to criticism about the black lives matter movement. the message reading if we want to make america great again, we will have to make evil people fear punishment again. in others, they use derogatory terms like bubba to refer to defense secretary lloyd austin, who is their boss. right after january 6th, one military member wrote, quote, trump was sabotaged once again. trying to get to the bottom of the obvious election fraud now looks like it doesn't have a chance, end quote. according to jack murphy, a former army ranger and green beret who's written about the special ops community, it's not just the occasional private in the third infantry,

joining us now senior white house reporter for nbc news digital, shannon, good morning. thanks for being up early with us. this polling showing on the immigration issue that there is a problem here for the biden administration. we've obviously seen republicans head down to the border, try to shine a spotlight on what's been going on down there. but this is also a pretty marked contrast, i think, for how people evaluate the president's economic policies so far. >> really it's by far and away his weakest area. you mentioned the economic policy. you mentioned much higher approval for things like the covid relief stimulus bill. and then his handling of the coronavirus pandemic, which is in the 70s. so it's clearly, by far and away, his weakest area when you look at the areas polled on here. now i will say even the white house isn't saying we're doing a great job here. the white house is saying we're doing our best, we're trying, we have a big problem, we're working to fix it. we're going to do this in a humane way, but we're not here yet. and they certainly haven't begun any

joining me now, nbc news correspondent antonia hylton with more on this. antonia, good to have you with us. what's the latest there? >> hi, ayman. it's great to see you. this video, it just released here from the civilian office of police accountability here in chicago. and earlier today, mayor lightfoot described it as excruciating, and that's exactly what it is. what you see is this incident transpire in frankly under a matter of 20 seconds. what you see in the video from the shooting officer's perspective is the officers step out of a car, sprint down an alleyway approaching toledo, and shouting a couple of commands at him including for him to put his hands up. but what you see from the perspective on this video is toledo starting to slow down and turn toward the officer. he does put his hands up. but again, in under 20 seconds, you see this 13-year-old seventh grader shot and fall to the ground. most of the video, frankly, is officers trying to save adam toledo's life. the shooting happened so quickly, it's hard, frankly, to see what actually -- adam m

joining me not nbc news co-host kristen welker, a philly girl, garrett haake. and kristin, first you, and craig preferring the president on the $6 trillion, do we really need it. he had a direct response. here it is. >> that's the reason why it's recovery, because we're investing, look how rapidly we've recovered since we passed the last piece of legislation. and that legislation was $1.9 trillion. if we don't invest in this country, we're going to actually start to -- we're going to fall behind even further. >> kristin, he's absolutely going strong on this. and despite republican complaints about the spending he believes that this is popular and this is going to get him across the finish line. he's got a hard road, though, in an evenly divided congress. >> it is going to be a tough sales job, there's no doubt about that. what you saw with that exclusive interview with craig melvin was president biden doubling down on this proposal to go big. and he is, essentially, making a bet that americans want the government to be more involved in their lives. that they no

we should mention, nbc news hasn't matched that reporting. i just want to put that out there. >> yeah but i mean, it's in "the new york times," too. but i mean, yes, it's "the daily beast" reporting. but what happens is once greenberg cooperates, not only do we have the public reporting of the venmo. but we have greenberg's private information. so, exactly, what did he do? what did gaetz ask him to do? are there other venmos we don't know about, yet? where are the text messages? where are the travel receipts? where did they go? let's say, for example, greenberg says we went to the ritz carlton in naples. okay. you don't have to listen to greenberg, anymore. you can go to the ritz carlton in naples and pull up the reports so it's very important when he testifies. >> are you basically saying, not all those venmo transactions are for lettuce that we've seen? i got to leave it there. david and cynthia, thank you guys, so much. appreciate your time. but we got to get now to the death of prince philip. and just moments from now, several events are

york times" and nbc news political analyst peter baker, my good buddy on sundays. hey, peter, welcome. president biden's approval rating is 53%. how do you read it? >> i think it tells us that president biden is governing at a time when we're very polarized, right? he's obviously doing better than president trump did at this point in his presidency and better than president trump did frankly better than any point in president trump's presidency. at the same time, it's historically low. all the presidents going back to eisenhower except for trump hoo much higher net approval rating than biden at this time, which speaks to how dramatically polarized we are. the 52 or 53% he's getting in these polls are pretty close to the popular vote he got in november. he's getting a lot of support from democrats and independents. only 9% of republicans are saying he's doing a good job. some of his policies are more popular, and his handling of coronavirus is more popular. i think it says something about how we are looking at our president today. we are one side or the other, regar
