then it's like, it's not just a manhattan thing. it started to dawn her what a big thing it was she went through. host: timmy had a sister and a roommate in the world trade -- tammy had a sister and a roommate in the world trade center complex. what was their fates? guest: this is personally powerful for me, because one of the things that was very affecting is a particular corner of one of the world financial center buildings that was basically sliced through because of the slicing off of the corner . it was very haunting to see that being down there and that it turned out was precisely where tammy sister had been working. she had gotten out and eventually had a bridal appointment later in the day and realize she forgot whatever she needed for the appointment and action went back to her office and still managed to escape before the corner was sliced off. tammy's college roommate was not so fortunate. she perished in the collapse of the tower. host: how long did the boatlift rescue take place on 9/11? how many hours did it take to ge

cnn manhattan's d.a. office is expected to charge them with tax crimes. now at this point donald trump himself is not expected to be charged. we are live outside the courthouse and joins us now. what more do we know about what could be in this indictment? >> reporter: good morning. we are awaiting outside of the courthouse because we expect a alan weiselberg to turn himself in that's related to this tax investigation having to do with compensation and gifts he received as a senior officer of the trump organization where he has worked for about 40 years. in addition the trump organization itself will be indicted. the company will be arraigned. one of the lawyers will speak up in court for them. the attorney for the form her president said they will went terrify a plea of not guilty. there's a range of options that authorities can bring and give us some information about how close this gets to the former president. so we'll be combing through those documents later this afternoon. this is really a dramatic m

i think that what happened here is that the manhattan d.a.'s office took their best shot to get allen weisselberg to cooperate, and i expect that everything they have against him is included in the indictment, and $1.7 million if that is actual tax avoidance and if that is 10% of what he got is jail time, but if that is the total amount that he siphoned away without paying attentions then you take 10% of that as the loss amount which is about $170,000 and that would be a very low jail sentence, and if that is the top charge against him, then he may have made the calculus that i may not go to jail at all, so i am not going to cooperate, but i don't expect to see a superseding indictment against donald weisselberg, because this investigation has been going on for two years, and they have had them for six months or so, and i would expect that this is the only indictment against allen weisselberg and they have put everything in there that they have. i don't think that this is going to be a serial indictment process against him. now, it is possible

weisselberg is expected to surrender thursday morning at the office of manhattan da cyrus vance. he's expected to be arraigned later today in front of a state court judge. the trump organization will also be arraigned, represented in court by one of its attorneys. weisselberg has reportedly been under pressure to cooperate with prosecutors and flip on one donald trump. the investigations of course continue. -- also today,

and nbc news reporting tonight the manhattan d.a.'s office and the new york attorney general's office together have obtained indictments against the trump organization and its long-time cfo allen weisselberg. as expected, the

in manhattan. what do you make of that? >> frankly, it seems silly. i will say that in terms of what suzann said, i get it, that why wouldn't the irs be doing it? the irs was an opaque entity even when i was a federal prosecutor. they pick up what they pick up. it takes them a long time. tax cases are brought many years after the acts in question. i wouldn't put any credence into not knowing whether or not the irs is investigating. they may well be in the normal course of things that we may hear about that. in terms of the criminal investigation, that's not a defense. you can't say, we shouldn't be convicted because some other entity really should have prosecuted us. if that's the case, then the manhattan d.a.'s office wouldn't do any white collar cases. they have a tradition of doing cases that could be brought in federal court. this is one of them. that's a silly defense. >> last brief question for you. scheme to defraud in the first degree is a jumble of words that i have never necessarily heard before. obviously, that's technically most serious ch

according to an indictment by a manhattan-grand jury. unsealed today, in court, in manhattan. we have already seen donald trump's signature on checks written in the commission of a federal crime. here is donald trump's signature in a check to michael cohen, as part of the criminal payoff scheme to prevent stormy daniels from telling the ugly truth of what happened when she was alone in a hotel room with donald trump. that criminal scheme, of course, completely, fell apart. michael cohen went to prison for that criminal scheme. stormy daniels went on "60 minutes" and told the story of that night, including donald trump comparing her to his daughter. today, another, criminal scheme involving donald trump signing checks was described in the indictment of the trump corporation, the trump payroll corporation, and allen weisselberg. from 2012 through 2017, and as part of the scheme to defraud, trump corporation personnel, including weisselberg, arranged for tuition expenses for weisselberg's family members to be paid by personal checks drawn on the account of and signed by donald j.

new york saw a massive exodus last year during the pandemic but over the past few months manhattan has seen prices rise back up to record highs. according to may data from zillow the median price in new york is $484,666 inventory for sale, 61,985 units, the highest number compared with 90 other cities. the next guest is seeing a manhattan comeback and seeing many of his listings go below pre-pandemic levels. here for insight is christopher kromer, real estate broker with brown harris stevens chris, good to have you with us. what do you make of the report today that prices are back above their all-time highs is that what you're seeing or are you a little skeptical of that >> well, i'm a little skeptical of that. i think it's probably tilted with a lot of high-end closings. the luxury market has been booming with a lot of discounts. but the scory that i'm seeing across the board all say that new york is back and people wanting to be here we're coming off a record number of signed contracts in the second quarter what's driving that is buyers are seeing value, they're sensing opportunity a

weisselberg about 20 minutes ago left the courthouse here downtown manhattan, the manhattan district attorney's office after the arraignment in which he pled not guilty to grand larceny charges in which the trump organization also pled not guilty to scheming to defraud. this alleged scheme had the trump organization orchestrating this off the books by providing him an apartment, providing him mercedes benz cars and paying tuition for weisselberg's grandchildren in a private school in manhattan that charges $55,000 a year, this went on for years as a way to defraud new york taxpayers the money that was due them. they said that weisselberg that lived in long island, tried to conceal his residency in manhattan to avoid new york city income taxes. the trump organization and trump lawyers blasted this prosecution saying it is extremely rare for a criminal prosecution to be carried out based on corporate benefits to top executives that corporations engage in this activity routinely in terms of compensating, providing other compensation or stock to their top level corporate executives. obse

manhattan apartment sales had their biggest gain a record. a comment from jonathan miller, who said, basically people get tired of losing their fifth bidding war for a place in westchester or on long island, and they just have given up and they have decided to go on vacation instead. so i hope by the time my wife allows me to move back to the u.s., the prices come down as well. amber: i in no that tenacity -- know that tenacity will work out for you. i would recommend toronto, but i think it is actually easier for you to purchase a house in west hollywood these days. so, maybe you will find that bargain somewhere in the u.s. after all. matt: it could be a long commute. i could end up in west stockbridge if i am not careful. on the u.s. jobs report, constance hunter is joining us, chief economist at kpmg llp. talk about what you saw in terms of the add and the breakdown, what does it tell us about future growth? constance: a few things. we added over 850,000 jobs, a lot in leisure and hospitality, which is an important barometer. but there wer

the trump organization cfo allen weisselberg turned himself in this morning in manhattan. the trump organization says he is being used as a pawn in a scorched-earth attempt to rm the final -- former president. he pled not guilty as did the trump organization. jon sopel is outside trump tower in new york and joins us. are these charges likely a test of how loyal allen weisselberg will be to donald trump? reporter: yes, they certainly will be. it is also being seen as whether this is a question of justice or whether iis a question of politics. if you listen to the district attorney, he makes it clear this is following the facts and following the law and that a grand jury has approved what happened. listen to the trump organization and you get a different story. it's a long statement. "afterears of investigating, millions of documents and millions of dollars of taxpayer money, the manhattan das office decided to charge select trump entities with providing a car and apartment. make no mistake, this is not about the law, this is all about politics." donald trump will have been

weisselberg surrendered to the manhattan d.a.'s office after a grand jury indicted him and former president trump's company. his attorney releasing a statement saying mr. weisselberg intends to plead not guilty and he will fight these charges in court. in another statement the trump organization said weisselberg is now being used by the manhattan d.a. as a pawn in a scorched earth attempt to harm the former president. we should note, the former president is not being indicted today, but when the indictment is unsealed we will learn for the first time whether prosecutors will tell the full story of their case. the so-called speaking indictment may indicate whether others are likely to be charged in the continuing grand jury probe. we caught up with cy vance this morning. >> can we get a comment? >> just good morning. see you at 2:15. >> 2:15 it is. tom winter, monica alba, chuck rosenberg, former u.s. attorney and fbi official. barbara quaid and law professor at the university of michigan law school. there's a lot of noise from som

the new house committees investigation, the manhattan's investigation and the grandeur investigation unfold in county georgia, studying evidence of donald trump's possible violations of infected -- election laws there by trying to interfere with the counting. joining us now is john heilemann, nbc news and nbc news fair analysts, -- john, donald trump is famously an insomniac, tonight seems like one of the nights where sleep is going to be very hard for him to come by. >> yeah, he'll be up watching don lemon, over and over again. you know i was going to say is you are going through this investigation, you and i have both been investigated a fair amount and i'm not sure whether you spend time behind bars but i have, i don't think i've never been three investigations simultaneously. i think trump has faced some bad situations and obviously the biggest problems that he no longer has a shield of the presidency and you can see him just in the way that he's dealing with the difficulty season right now, you can see how desperately he's tried to think about how he can get back into that white

we go outside to the courthouse in lower manhattan with the very latest for us this morning. good morning, kyra. >> reporter: just a few moments ago allen weisselberg chief financial officer of the trump organization surrendered to authorities just around the corner from here. he's going to face charges this afternoon, in an indictment that's related to tax crimes. we don't know the detail of the indictment just yet because wilt become public later today. this investigation has been looking into compensation and benefits that he received as a top official at the trump organization that includes a rent free apartment, company cars, bonuses and school tuition for at least one of his grandchildren. this investigation has been going on for years. it went all the way up to the supreme court in the d.a.'s efforts to get the former president's tax returns both his personal returns and business returns. this is culminating today with charges against allen weisselberg and the trump organization. as you know the information president donald trump is not expected to be charged nor any m

cnn's paula reed joins us live outside of the courthouse in lower manhattan. these charges could be unsealed at any moment. what will be revealed here? >> reporter: well, we expect these charges will be related to alleged tax crimes stemming from allegations that employees at the trump organization received certain perks. alisyn, we are not talking about free coffee. the allegations are that employees were receiving things like free apartments, free cars, even free school tuition. these are the kinds of benefits that could amount to tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars. so we do expect when these charges are unsealed they will be connected to alleged tax crimes. now, an attorney for mr. weisselberg has made it clear he is going to plead not guilty in this arraignment and he is vowing to fight these charges. but these charges today do increase the pressure on the long-time cfo to cooperate with prosecutors against his former boss, former president trump. now, so far weisselberg's team has told prosecutors he won't flip, he's not going to cooperate. but

the director is a close friend of manhattan's republican chairwoman. the head abolishment -- and the administrative manager is the wife of a city council member. so, that's a snapshot of what you need to know about the new york city board of election. june on june 22nd, just a week ago, new york city had a mural primer. they use this new tool call rank choice in voting for the first time. it basically means each voter ranks their top five choices. now, it's not nuclear physics, but it can be fairly complex. shortly after the polls closed last week, candidate eric adams, brooklyn borough president, former and ypg officer, was shown to have a significant lead after counting the first place votes cast in person that night. right? then yesterday, in the city's board of election released results showing that another candidate named catherine garcia had almost all but close the gap on adams, once everyone's full preferences have been tabulated. everyone thought, oh, that's interesting. very close race. we'll see what happened. we saw the count absentees. a f

>>> let's start right here, mika, with nbc news learning the manhattan district attorney and the new york state attorney general have obtained indictments against the trump organization and allen weissleberg. the specific charges will not be known until about 2:00 this afternoon when the indictments are unsealed. "the washington post" is reporting weisselberg is expected to surrender this morning and be arraigned today. the trump organization will also be arraigned by one of its attorneys. the company denied wrong doing and attorneys for both defendants declined comment. let's bring in david farnhold, who joins us from outside the courthouse. good morning, thanks for being with us. help us understand exactly what we expect to see when these indictments are unsealed this afternoon. allen weissleberg is front and center. many have said he's the guy who knows where the bodies are buried, if you will, been with donald trump for 50 years since the beginning of the organization. >> i think we'll get a sense of what prosecutors have. we've been hearing about the elephant for months but we h

this is serious, it is a criminal tax fraud if the prosecution can prove its case in court, and as the manhattan da has made clear, they are not finished with investigations yet. there is quite a bit else going on, but has been investigated. the new york times has reported the trump family has engaged in various prior this is to avoid taxes or, rather, evade taxes — back which is illegal— over many decades so we will see where all of this goes. find where all of this goes. and therein lies _ where all of this goes. and therein lies an _ where all of this goes. and therein lies an important distinction, as you just thought of acknowledged there. it's one thing to avoid taxes to so within the law by using loopholes and measures that are entirely above board and legal. it is another entirely to prove that taxes have been evaded which is unlawful. absolutely ri . ht. which is unlawful. absolutely right- this — which is unlawful. absolutely right. this is _ which is unlawful. absolutely right. this is a _ which is unlawful. absolutely right. this is a distinction - right. this is a distinction

tonight "the washington post" was first to report, nbc news confirmed that a grand jury in manhattan filed criminal indictments today against the company of former president donald trump and allen weisselberg. the post and nbc are both citing two people familiar with the indictments. this means the indictments have been handed down by the grand jury. they are at this point sealed. nbc reported earlier today that the indictments are expected to be unsealed at a court proceeding at 2:00 p.m. tomorrow where we will find out what the charges are and whereupon the defendant or defendants are expected to be in courtoace those charges. now, there is not an expectation at this point that former president trump himself is going to be hit with criminal charges tomorrow. although, that apparently remains a possibility for some theoretical potential superseding indictment coming after this one. i'm not sure i totally understand the legal world common wisdom that there very well may be a superseding indictment beyond the one that comes tomorrow. but we will chase that tonight and try to get some

they 162 of the biden administration and indeed nbc news reporting tonight the manhattan da's office and the new york attorney generals office together have obtained indictments against the trump organization and its longtime cfo, allen weisselberg. as expected, the charges said to be tax related and are expected to be unsealed in court tomorrow in manhattan. washington post was first to report the news tonight, the paper adds this. weisselberg is expected to surrender thursday morning at the office of manhattan da cyrus vance. he's expected to be arraigned later today in front of a state court judge. the trump organization will also be arraigned, represented in court by one of its attorneys. weisselberg has reportedly been under pressure to cooperate with prosecutors and flip on one donald trump. the investigations of course continue. -- also today, in an extraordinary development the pennsylvania supreme court tossed out bill cosby's conviction. bill cosby is home tonight for the first time in three years. he was convicted on three counts, aggravated and indecent assault in 2018 of

the director of election day operations is a friend of manhattan's republican chairwoman. and the administrative manager is the wife of a city council member. that's a snapshot of what you need to know about the new york city board of elections. on june 22, new york city had a mayoral primary. they used rank choice voting, for the first time. each voter ranks their top five choices. it's not nuclear physics, but it can be complex. after the polls closed, eric adams, former nypd officer, he has been on the show, was shown to have a significant lead after counting the first place votes cast in person that night. then yesterday, the board of elections released results showing another candidate named catherine garcia had almost all but closed the gap on adams, once everyone's preferences had been tabulated. close race. we will see what happens. a few hours after releasing the preliminary results, the board of elections in new york city sent out this very weird tweet. i will quote it. we are aware there is discrepancy in the unofficial rank choice voting round by round eliminat

but tonight, washington post was forced to report, that a grand jury in manhattan has filed criminal indictments against the trump organization, and it's cfo, allen weisselberg, and those indictments will be unsealed tomorrow. these are not -- these are state charges under newark. law the post is reporting that mr. weisselberg is expected to surrender tomorrow morning at the manhattan district attorney 's office and he's expected to be arraigned later in the day before a state judged in a new york courtroom. the trump organization will also be arranged -- it is hard to arraign and entity. at least it is hard to imagine that. but the entity will be represented in court by one of its attorneys. an entity familiar with the matter telling nbc news tonight that the indictments are expected to be unsealed at around 2 pm eastern time tomorrow? because the indictments are sealed until then, we don't know exactly what the charges would be. there's been lots of reporting that the charges are expected to focus on tax related alleged felonies. the trump organization's lawyers have been working o

the manhattan d.a. has had trump's tax returns and azars for months now and had michael cohen to speak with, a relative of weisselberg himself. is this enough at this point given what you you've seen and with your experience as a prosecutor, would you expect a d.a. to lead with his or her strength in effect, lead with the strongest charges or do you see this as a first step? >> that is the big question here. is this the first step or is this all there is? a lot of that will depend on whether they could shake loose allen weisselberg as a cooperating witness. because he could hold the keys to the kingdom here. if he cooperates, if there is enough pressure on him because of this indictment, then his mind may change. i know he's made clear he's not going to be cooperating thus far. if he doesn't though, jim, if this is all they have, it is not much. as a result of two years of this case, enormous resources, they fought up to the supreme court and i think it is safe to conclude that based on what they have s

>> the manhattan d.a. has millions of pages of trump's taxes. the way we might see them there's an indictment of somebody in which the tax returns are evidence in a court proceeding, probably not all, several million pages but some might be entered into evidence and we could see them then. that didn't happen today but could happen down the road. the political implications i don't think right now there is a huge amount of political implications. tmp tmp not like there are people out there don't know donald trump's business is controversial or donald trump might have done things wrong in the past. the trump organization already has a huge amount and trump, too, of people turned against them. i don't know how many people this moves. if you start down the path which we have of finding out evidence about the trump organization opening up showing people how it works, in the end that could be damaging for trump. it's not as damaging, many of the other things he's done to himself as a political leader like january 6th but there could be extra damage. i

. >>> developing today, the manhattan d.a.'s office is expected to announce charges against the trump organization and the cfo. >> autoautotrump's company and cfo will be indicted. they will focus on whether the company gave perks that could include the use of apartments, cars and school tuition. wiseleberg's estranged daughter- in-law was a key part. she turned over several boxes to prosecutors. in 2019, michael cohen testified that wiseleberg never acted alone. >> it's led by sire russ vance, jr. a lawyer for . id he dt e f president being charged himself but that doesn't mean mr. trump is in the clear. >> this indictment looks to me like the culmination of a pressure campaign against allen wiseleberg. >> reporter: in a statement trump said his actions were standard practice and in no way a crime. >>> the new york and manhattan d.a.'s office have also been looking into the family business. >>> meantime, president trump took a tour of his unfinished wall at the texas border. he was joined by governor greg abbott. he said biden

that's one of the things the manhattan d.a. is looking at. >> thank you for your time and your clarity on this stuff. i really appreciate it. >> great. thank you. >>> i want to bring into the conversation now dan alanso, who previously served in the prosecutor's office. the memo about how and when to file criminal charges against corporations. thank you for making time and being here. >> thanks for having me, racial. >> i am not a lawyer. and i am a nonseasoned observer of new york state criminal prosecutions. there were a number of things that spoke to me and surprised me in part that it was 15 charges and the prosecutors used pretty bold language and said it was an ongoing unrepentive scheme just wanted to get your reaction. >> it is understandable on that language and account for reasons i won't bore you with so it might have been a more stream lined approach. it tells that story. that is more powerful than we thought based on what we observed. >> let me bring you to a point because of the way of knowingly evading. the repor

but there's 15, 20 different manhattans in -- in dec-- in to. i mean, shibuya. from my perspective, these are completely different cities. even building to building. >> uh-huh. >> nightclub for girls. >> uh-huh. >> nightclub for rock and rollers. hair salon. all up. 15 different businesses, one building. one building. >> yes. >> i can spend the next five years just doing shows on this one building. >> what is weird? what is strange? what do those things even mean, anyway? sure, a lot of what you see looks different from, maybe, the mainstream. it's certainly different from the way we like to portray ourselves, see ourselves, at least our daytime selves. but roughly 50% of all movies rented in american hotel rooms are adult films. the american-porn industry catering to exactly the kinds of dark urges we have been talking about but even nastier is a $12 billion a year industry that dwarves the hollywood product. our own obsessions, arguably, are at least as crazy, violent, and lurid as japan's and we tend to actually carry out our violent fantasies, more frequentl

surrendered -- the disgraced ex-president's company has been indicted today in manhattan. the trump organization's top money man allen weisselberg surrendered to the manhattan d.a. and has made an appearance in court and pleaded not guilty before being released on his own recognizance facing charges of grand larceny, tax fraud and more. weisselberg accused of avoiding taxes and more than $1.7 million in unclaimed income and fringe benefits. in all it encompasses 15 counts against weisselberg and the trump organization as a whole surrounding what prosecutors allege was a deliberate multiyear scheme. we are continuing to sift through the indictment which was just unsealed in the last hour and we'll have more details on the first crimes now being charged in the two-year investigation by manhattan d.a. cy vance and letitia james. the charges against the trump org and mr. weisselberg whom mr. trump once praised for doing whatever was necessary to protect the line emerged from the district attorney's sweeping inquiry into trump and his

in a new york suburb, which is filled with people who commute to manhattan every day, and they don't get anything called a company car, or any car paid for illegally by donald trump. imagine donald trump on the witness stand and allen weisselberg's trial after being subpoenaed by the manhattan district attorney. if he says things like that, ellen weisselberg is going to be found guilty and donald trump could be found guilty of perjury or specifically indicted himself for his own participation in tax fraud. donald trump also mentioned these words exactly. education for your grandchildren, i don't even know, do you have to? this anyone even know? the answer to that stuff? we he posed that tax question to his sadly ranger and people in the audience. want to know if they know whether you have to pay taxes on $347,000 in private school tuition payments for your grandchildren. here's someone who donald trump can ask about that. >> i know more about taxes than any human being that god ever created we. >> ellen weisselberg is doing whatever a criminal defendant is supposed to do, he's not sa

he is now being used by the manhattan district attorney as a pawn in a scorched earth attempt to harm the former president. so, this is a battle to win the hearts and mind of one person or perhaps one family, allen weisselberg. i can usually judge the former president's concerns by the number of things he tries to talk about in a 48-hour period before bad legal news and he has been as erratic as ever, so he clearly even though they tried to tell us he's not concerned, he seems highly concerned about this if you look at the nondenial denials about their concern. >> so what's interesting is that statement you just read, chuck that, we got from the trump organization today is basically -- can be summed up in five words which is, hey, allen, we got your back. that's what they're trying to say and that's what we've heard all along from those representing the trump organization. as far as the mindset of the former president i'm told by some in trump world, listen, we would be faking it if we weren't saying there was a level of concern. this is not unserious stuff, right? this is not insigni

he campaigned in manhattan. he spoke all of these languages he could get up and say what a great guy hoover was. there was a payoff after that. while donovan went on to become one of the more important intermediaries in getting that job and signed off on it as the assistant attorney general. >> host: whitby fair to say he was that here you if you want to put it like that of the book? >> guest: yes he is the hero of the book. there is an element of antihero at first because you have to acknowledge that he did not always tell the truth. you have to acknowledge she was very keen on self-promotion. i think it is in the fbi he was regarded at extremely brilliant but difficult to get along with. when he became the best paid special agent that was it there's no further advancements because he is not promotion material. this guy was never going to be an administrator. who's the very personification and literature. the guy does not pretend with the establishment he's a maverick member of the police force that would never
