Susanne Craig, investigative reporter for the New York Times, talks with Rachel Maddow about what could come next as Trump runs out of options.

  1. ​@Dawn-ol6lw The people the preached hate ( Trump and his supporters ) to unstable armed people that caried out the murders. Just like Charles Manson.
    Manson did not personally murder anyone but he aimed pulled the triger on the unstable people that finished the evil deeds. Trump and his minons are the evil ones that shouted fire in a crouded theater that had no fire causing a stampeed of unstable armed and dangerous bigots, racists, and deranged killers. So they Trump and his maganaz minions are guilty of murder by proxy. They insited the actions that got and are getting inocent Americans murdered. If you can not see that or understand that and you support the Trump game of hate and DeSantis and all the radical christofascist retoric that clearly makes you a co-conspirator .

  2. From all the reporting, the $400 million can only be used to keep the lights on and pay the legal monitor. DON THE CON, MAGA cultists, and GOP extremists may have other "tricks" up their sleeves as DON THE CON is a con artist and cult leader. VOTE against a dictator wannabe and Putin puppet.

  3. We have never seen anything like this because we have never seen a crime/corruption of this magnitude.

    We allow persons who could not pass security clearance, AT LAST DJT and his entire family, who could not pass a security clearance and had access to the highest information of our national enterprise.

    This should not be. From no tax information as a candidate to this. A clear path.

    Just as we watched Russia gather it's army on the Ukrainian borner, we are watching the same thing here in relation to our next presidential election and to our democracy.

    If we can keep it.

  4. Say Trump paid 20% for the bond, double the usual rate. That leaves The Chubb Company making a bet: an $18-million GAIN vs a $73-million LOSS — depending on the results of the appeal.
    Do they think "the fix is in"? Are they part of it?

  5. The Psycho Cult Followers better be holding on to their money! Psycho and his Cult GOP Goon's have already put it out there they want to destroy Government Funding against Americans! They are plotting to destroy Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Medical Cards, Child Tax Credit, Government Child Support, EBT Cards, Health Insurance! That's what your Vote for the Orange Putin Lunatic will do for you! So when these Cult followers are sending this so called " Billionaire" their going to be needing that $5 or $10 dollars by the time the Cult GOP and Psycho destroys their income!

  6. He'll get 600 million dollars or even a billion from Russia – and then complain about 10 years of " Russi – Russia!!" outing him out being a hoax.
    We still do not know which of his real estate properties owes how much to whom and what credit agreements he keeps hiding.

  7. What if he loses the appeal? He will take it to the Supreme Court? And what if he loses? Then he would pardon himself if he won the election. What if he loses the election? He will start campaigning for the next election and declare himself a candidate again! 😂😂😂😂😂😂

  8. The first question for the bonding company is "Will the appeal work". They are saying that New York will win.

    Where are the Bedminster boxes? Has anyone searched the Scottish golf club?

  9. REPUBLICANS dont have friends, they have acquaintances, think John Mc Cain and linsey Graham. They cheat familiy members , business associates , and everyone who trusts them.

  10. And Trump can’t rip off his donars fast enough to pay this judgement. Someone needs to look into that too. That can’t be legal. To get money donated to a political campaign or the RNC and third just re routing that money to his personal
    Bills.

  11. Trump wants special treatment. He isn’t special. He gets nothing that anyone else would get. If I owed the money I would have to come up with the bond. Period end of story.

  12. I think president Trump has the money and you don't have a right to find out . Who paid it . The judgment against President Trump violated the 8th amendment in the Constitution. E Jean Carroll is still a Golddigger
