and of course you would expect defense lawyers to say exactly that. we won't know what the charges are until they are unsealed tomorrow afternoon. what we do know is that the state prosecutor that's been working on this, along with the new york attorney general's office that's been working on this, it's been three years that they have been at work on this case. and the question of whether former president donald trump personally himself ever faces charges in this case, that remains open. an open question. the trump organization's lawyer, ron fischetti has said what he's heard from prosecutors is that donald trump himself will not be charged in tomorrow's indictment, but that doesn't mean that he might not be charged in a subsequent indictment. or as they call it in legal terms a superseding indictments. now, people who watch these things tell us that's not unusual. it is not routine, but it is not at unusual for for individuals associated with a company like this. it is not unusual for an initial indictment to be followed by subsequent superseding ind

as you mentioned, they hit a defense contractor last week. it's something that they hit in the last year it was a small defense contractor that may technology for missiles and satellites in that kind of thing but i think the big trigger here is the other hack that we discussed on the 4th of july weekend where they basically went after a company that service thousands of other companies and the damage could've been cataclysmic. >> first of all i want to congratulate you on the fact that you are a cybersecurity reporter who has a landline. everybody is mind blown. as always, nicole, i want to thank you for helping us understand this. thank you. >> thank you so much for having me, rachel. sorry about that one. not sure who that was. >> it's all right, you'll find out soon enough. nicole the new york times cybersecurity reported. we have more to come here tonight, stay with us. with us. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ summer is a state of mind, you can visit anytime. savor your summer with lincoln.

to have served to non consecutive terms as secretary of defense. on september 11th, 2001, he was in his office at the pentagon is one of the hijacked plane slammed into the building. to his credit, rumsfeld helped personally in the immediate aftermath of the fire. he helped rescue people. he stayed on side of the pentagon that day, all day while cheney got rushed to the bunker in for some reason they just flew the president around in the air for a long time as if they weren't quite sure where to put him. rumsfeld state at the pentagon. sure in the aftermath of 9/11, it was donald ones films who planned for the invasion of ghana stan, but then not for what to do in afghanistan after the invasion -- less than two years later it was donald rumsfeld who planned for the american invasion of iraq. but then, not for what to do in iraq after the initial invasion. as chaos and civil war overwhelmed iraq in the wake of the u.s. invasion there, donald rumsfeld famously insisted that americans should see all of that as good news, really. because freedom is unt

that means that whatever they have to hand over to the defense lawyers in discovery, so the defense lawyers can get a good look at all the evidence and everybody has a fair shot at defending the case, the protective order means the defense can't show that to the public or anybody not directly involved in the case. the defense agrees to that protective order. the judge agrees to that. there's a protective order. we will never see the discovery in this case. the only other real thing that happened today at this arrangement was this sad moment for allen weisselberg. t for allen weisselberg. the arrangement was today. there was no bail. mr. weisselberg did surrender his passport. he was released on his own recognizant. they set a status conference. the next time they will be in court is mid september. the indictment was unsealed. in addition to the transcript of what happened in the room, we have the written account of the charges. there are 15 felony charges. it's four counts of criminal tax fraud, first degree scheme to defraud. we will get more clarity on that from somebody who knows these t

>> defense lawyer says, yes, your honor. the judge just says bluntly, turnover your passport. >> there was no bail. he did turnover his bass port but he was released on his own recog nice ans. they set the status will be held in september. in addition to what happened in the room, we have the written account of the charges. there are 15 felony charges. four counts of criminal tax fraud. first degree scheme to defraud. conspiracy count. four counts of offering a false instrument for filing the charge and chief financial officer. the charge he faces alone which is grand larceny, which is theft. they are accusing him of stealing, in effect, from the irs by knowingly obtaining a tax refund he was not supposed to get. but the news here. the genuinely and surprising news. number one, this is a lot of charges. 15 felony charges is a more serious indictment than trump lawyers have been trying to spin for the past week or so for sure. this is heftier indictment than they prepared for or people were expecting. number two, in statement

as you mentioned, they hit a defense contractor last week. it was one of several that they have hit over the past year. it was a small defense contractor in florida that made launch technology for missiles and satellites and that kind of thing. but really i think the big trigger here was a different hack that they pulled off, the one we discussed just ahead of fourth of july weekend, where they basically went after a company that serviced thousands of other companies and the damage could have been cataclysmic. >> first of all, i want to congratulate you on the fact that you are a cybersecurity reporter that has a land line. everybody watching rights now, is like, mind blown. as always, nicole, i want to thank you for helping us understand this. thanks a lot. >> thank you so much for having me, rachel. sorry about that. not sure who that was. >> it's all right. you will find out soon enough. it will be everywhere.

up to this point we had the defense attorneys basically along with trump himself able to spin this the way they wanted to spin it. you know, with trump saying things like, you know, all businesses are run this way. well, now we can look at this and, you know, if you are just a business owner in new york you know, like, no they don't, i can't pay my employees off the book, if i did i would get caught and get sent to prison. it's about what the defendant did. and that really pokes holes in this narrative or this rhetoric that the defense attorneys -- and again it is their job to do this, but it just -- it's not going to work as well with an indictment like this. i think that makes a difference, too, both on a public relations level as we were speaking about before, but also a little bit in the legal battle to come. >> yeah, your point is really coming down it this. is it about who the defendant is as trump would have you believe and his people, or about what the defendant did. thanks for this, rebecca. a former manhattan assistant district attorney. >>> much more to get to on this friday

in response to the lawsuit, congressman brooks had a novel defense. i was just doing my job. he said he couldn't be sued for his speech because he was acting in his official capacity as a united states congressman. and so, the court turned to the u.s. justice department and asked the department to weigh in on whether congressman brooks was just performing his official duties, as a federal employee. and the justice department has now delivered its reply to the court and it says, in essence, you're on your own, mo. i mean, it did seem like a long shot that mo brooks would get the u.s. justice department to come to his rescue here. but spare a thought for the justice department lawyer, who had to actually write this court filing, spelling out their reasoning. this is an actual quote from the filing. the complaint alleges that brooks conspired with others to investigate -- to instigate a violent attack on the u.s. capitol, and incited a riot there. instigating such an attack, plainly, could not be within the scope of federal employment. quote, alleged action to attack congress an

biden also said that the defense department, the world's largest employer, will look into how and when the covid vaccine should be required for all service members. and the president announced new paid time off for employees and their family to get vaccinated. he also encouraged states to start offering a $100 incentive for unvaccinated people to get the vaccine. >> nearly all of the cases, hospitalizations and deaths due to covid-19 today are from unvaccinated people. last month a study showed that over 99% of covid-19 deaths have been among the unvaccinated. 99%. this is an american tragedy. people are dying and will die who don't have to die. if you're out there unvaccinated, you don't have to die. read the news. you'll see stories about unvaccinated patients at hospitals. as they're lying in bed dying from covid-19 they're asking, doc, can i get the vaccine? and the doctors have to say sorry, it's too late. right now too many people are dying or watching someone they love dying and saying if i just got vaccinated. if i just. it's heartbreaking. and it's complicated even more becaus

of the day there are a number of remaining questions as to decision making within the department of defense on january 6, decision making at white house, conversations between white house officials and folks at the department of defense, conversations between white house officials and the president and members of congress as we know given the statements that leader mccarthy has previously made. i think there's a lot of evidence for the committee to assemble. i suspect they will use the subpoena power to the extent that they need to in order to assemble that evidence. success to me looks like a comprehensive report that details the facts underlying the terrible events of that day, the insurrection on january 6 and recommendations to the congress as to how we move forward in terms of putting in the necessary safeguards to protect our capitol and ultimately protect our democracy so that what happened on january 6 never happens again. >> good time to talk to you. thank you for joining us. >>> more to come tonight, including the beginning of the end of america's longest war and the rush to keep

his defense team said he should only get probation. he ended up getting eight months in prison. today also the first hearing was set on the house select committee that's going to investigate the january 6th attack. he this is a committee hearing that we had known was scheduled for next week july 27th.no today we found out what's going to happen during that hearing. they're going to hear from in multiple police officers who were attacked and in some cases quite grievously injured by thes trump mob that day. republicans finally today an announced their selection for the five members of congress d they want to serve on that committee. nancy pelosi has the right to say yes or no to any of them. but in terms of who the republicans have nominated, it is this rainbow chorus of -- this ben iton ad. this rainbow chorus of five house republican congressmen, two of them are named jim. three of whom voted not to certify the official result that joe biden won the presidential election. but as the republican party remains in complete thrall to the guy who really did, i swear, hire paid actors

a few years before joining the trump legal team, john dowd was the defense lawyer for barrage roger numb, in this insider trading case. he was convicted of 14 felony counts, that's the longest -- he had to put up 100 million dollars bond. on the day he was convicted, a cnbc camera crew caught up with his lawyer, with john dowd. >> cnbc caught up with mr. dowd just a short time ago. >> get the bleep out of here. that's what i have for cnbc >>. wow. well >> >> i never get tired of that tape, i never get tired of that type. that guy lost that case spectacularly, and then he got hired by donald trump. that's what i got from cnbc. that billionaire hedge fund manager, with a huge insider trading case, he got the record sentence. we also believe he got the record for the highest bail ever set in american history. that record stood until today, when the chairman of donald trump's inaugural committee was released from custody after hosting a 250 million dollar bond. prosecutors asked for that but couldn't get it for michael milken, but today they actually got it for thomas barrack. $250 million h

and it thus far up until this point, we had a defensive tierney's basically along with trump himself, able to spin this in a way that they wanted to spin it. with trump going out there and saying things like, all businesses are run this way. well now, we can look at this and if you're just a business owner in new york, you know no they don't, i can't pay my employees off the books. and if i did, i would get caught and sent to prison. so, this is about who the defendant is, it's about what the defendant did. and that really pokes holes in this narrative, or this rhetoric that the defense attorneys, and it is their job to do this, but it is not going to work as well with an indictment like this. i think that makes a difference, to. both on a public relations level as we're speaking about before. but also a little bit in the legal battle to come. >> yeah, your point is it really comes down to. this is about who the defendant is, as trump would have you believe. and his people. or is it about what the defendant did? good to see you rebecca. rebecca roiphe is a former manhattan and assista

a few years before joining the donald trump legal team, john dowd was the defense lawyer for rajaratnam and it did not go well. i mean he was convicted on 14 felony counts. he was sentenced to 11 years in prison, the longest prison term ever for an insider trading case. he had to put up $100 million bond. but on the day he was convicted, a cnbc camera crew caught up with his lawyer, with john dowd. >> cnbc caught up with mr. dowd just a short time ago. >> i was looking -- >> [ bleep ] out of here. okay. that's what i got for cnbc. >> wow. >> wow. okay. that's what i got for cnbc. i never get tired of that tape. i never get tired of that up take. that guy lost that case so spectacularly and then he got hired by donald trump. but that guy, that's what i got for cnbc. anyway, so that billionaire hedge fund manager with the hugin sider -- huge insider trading case and he got the highest bail ever set in american history and that record stood until today when the chairman of donald trump's inaugural committee was released from custody after posting a $250 million bond. prosecutors asked for

it's something that defeats all of those defenses and more. one of the partners in this gigantic reporting project, is the washington post. the post made a good simple video they launched today, in which they describe what i mean here. watch. >> one of the most concerning things about reporting, is it's clear it's now zero click and text. a malicious actors, and something to my iphone for example. it comes to a message, and it never appears and i message. i don't see it, i don't hear it. there's no tip off there's something that happening. yeah it can get in and it could begin to peel back the layers of all the security, on your iphone. and so, you do not have to make a mistake. really all of us are vulnerable. even people with recent devices. even people who do the right things and keep up their passwords. and make sure their software is updated. this kind of technology can still get into your devices in turn your life upside down. on a table, in front of people you will never meet. >> the big scary sci-fi like worry of this technology, is th

at the white house, a group of eight civil rights leaders, including share lien eiffel, of the naacp defense fund, and the gentleman you just saw there. the topic on the table, today, was voting rights. the meeting was on the president and vice president's schedule for one hour. but they took almost twice that. almost-two hours. joining us now is wade henderson, the interim president of the leadership conference on civil and human rights. he was there, at the meeting, today. sort of dying to know how it went. mr. henderson, thank you so much for being here tonight. i know it's been a long day, already. >> good evening, rachel. and thank you for having me. >> so many people around the country, right now, are despondent over what's happening with voting rights. with this sense that republicans are on the proverbial warpath to revoke voting rights. the sense that the courts have been neutered and, in any case, have lost their will to try to protect voting rights. and that the congress feels like it's mired in an impasse that's not going to result in them providing any help, otherwise. i think t

military handed over seven military facilities to the afghan defense ministry, including bagram, the largest u.s. military insulation at the airfield. the speed at which troops have been leaving means the pentagon will almost certainly complete the withdrawal by president biden's some temper deadline. it raises concerns about what happens there in the aftermath of u.s. forces leaving. this week in the top u.s. military official in charge of overseeing the troop withdrawal raised alarm about how quickly the taliban is growing its control over large swaths of the country. he warned about a potential civil war upon the departure of u.s. forces, about the potential for a full taliban takeover of afghanistan. that prospect raises questions about the length of this war, what's choices we as a country have to make on our way out the door. what options afghanistan as a nation will have been a long run. but before any of those long runs concern, in the near short run it raises a concrete question about the promises our government and our military made to afghans who helped u.s. forces fight t

that is something that already republicans and some of the defense attorneys are accusing them of doing. you compared to other cases the justice department has handled, they are going a little bit more lax say against anti trump protesters against trump's first inauguration. i think that's something that the justice department keeps in mind. if they do overreach, and they overcharged someone, that will have tremendous consequences. not only in the judicial system, but also in the legislative system, because that's where we will see a lot of the political pushback if there is overcharging by the justice department. >> officer hodges, one of the four more -- former police officers who testified today said, most of the officers use the term terrorists. they talk about domestic terrorist, they held up the domestic road to back it up. they were making a distinction between somebody who interferes in a hearing, and what these folks were doing. >> yeah, this is a really interesting legal distinction. there's not really a wall that makes it domestic terrorism. on the back in, you can say you ca

a florida defense contractor that sells space and weapons launch technology, the navy, the air force, and nasa. the biden administration's line on russia has been that they want things to be predictable and stable between us and russia. right now, the cyber stuff, maybe it's for predictable but it's not stable. this seems to be escalating rapidly. watch this space. this space it means we grab a hold of what matters most. we sweat the details. ask for what we want. get what we need. and we need more time. so, we want kisqali. living longer is possible and proven with kisqali when taken with a nonsteroidal aromatase inhibitor in premenopausal women with hr+, her2- metastatic breast cancer. kisqali is a pill that's significantly more effective at delaying disease progression versus a nonsteroidal aromatase inhibitor alone. kisqali can cause lung problems or an abnormal heartbeat, which can lead to death. it can cause serious skin reactions, liver problems, and low white blood cell counts that may result in severe infections. tell your doctor right away if you have new or worsening sympto

military handed over seven military facilities to the afghan defense ministry including bagram. the bagram airfield. the speed means the pentagon will almost certainly complete the withdrawal by the september deadline and raises concern of the aftermath of the u.s. forces leaving. this weekend the top u.s. military official in charge of overseeing the withdrawal raised alarm of how quickly the taliban is growing the control over large swaths of the country. warned of a possible civil war. warned about the potential for a full taliban takeover of afghanistan. and that prospect raises questions about the length of this war, what choices we as a current have to make on our way out the door. what options afghanistan will have in the long run. but before any of those concerns, very near, short run raises a questions about the promises that our government and our military made to afghans who helped america fight the war. during the long u.s. war in afghanistan u.s. championship enlisted the help of thousands of afghan interpreters at great personal risk to them. those people that serv
