Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance is circling the Trump Organization in a criminal probe sifting through Trump tax documents and convening a grand jury. DOJ veteran and former Mueller prosecutor, Andrew Weissmann tells “The Beat” Vance likely found an “insider” in the case. MSNBC’s Chief Legal Correspondent Ari Melber reports on the case and how Vance will tackle one of the most consequential calls in the history of the American presidency: whether to indict an ex-President for the first time ever. (This interview is from MSNBC’s “The Beat with Ari Melber, a news show covering politics, law and culture airing nightly at 6pm ET on MSNBC. ).

I’ll believe it when i see charges filed.
I agree with you
NOTHING EVER HAPPENS to the Rich, Corrupt, or Powerful!
It’s a Universal Law!
Charges filed, found guilty,and jailed.
Agreed 👍
Trump better call Saul. 😅
Too late. Trump should have called some smarter business experts.
Saul would be better than Rudy Colludy or the Kraken lady.
LoL…. Saul would never take a client who goes rogue.
@dutchgala Saul would flip on his goofyass.
@dutchgala I think I remember someone saying he isn’t much of a client. Tends to improvisation at the most inopportune times.
Make Glenn Kirschner the new District Attorney.
Amen 🙏
Glenn KIRSHNER is From the DC area, he would even say that himself, a person who knows NY state would be better
If he’d wanted to become DA he would have thrown his hat in the ring already.
@Sheila Boston it was mentioned to him several times before the November Election, but never heard that much after that
@Grand Wonder Garland is a big disappointment to me. And to think he was a nominee for SCOTUS.
… Or this could mean that indictment and court hearing will be done by the time Cy Vance leaves.
Wishful Thinking!
NOTHING EVER HAPPENS to the Rich, Corrupt, or Powerful!
It’s a Universal Law!
@Montesa
Maybe now’s the time to demonstrate to Americans that No One is above the law. Time to set a precedent for every day forward.
I think Cy Vance at a minimum finish the indictment portion of this litigation before he eventually leaves..
Take the wanabe mob boss down
This is the best news ever 👏
Is it? Not until I see dumb trump behind bars
@birdkin Agreed
I’m proud of Cohan!!!!!👏👏👏👏
George M.?
WHO THE LIAR AND PARTISAN HACK JOB . YEAH OK . DEMOCRATS OFFERED HIM A PROPOSITION TO GET OUT OF JAIL . LIBERALS ARE SO STUPI
Makes me sick to think about Politics once again, could give trump another opportunity to escape criminal accountability from any NY charges.
I FELT THE SAME WAY ABOUT HILLARY CLINTON AND THOSE EMAILS THAT YOUR FAKE NEWS HELPED HIDE.
Michael Cohen is fully vindicated and redeemed as a man..
@Nia Howard You’re exactly correct, too. They conveniently forget he had the free lancers renting his taxis pay him directly to avoid declaring that income and paying taxes on it. Conviction.
@Nia Howard And the lying to banks about his assets to obtain fraudulent loans. Conviction.
@Nia Howard Michael Cohen isn’t concerned about justice he’s concerned about how long he can milk this & who’s paying the back taxes he owes *everyone who buys his book, MSNBC & CNN who keep paying for his apoerances*
@DJ Jones Wow are we so lucky to have you comment on your hate for Cohen. He may not have fully redeemed himself, at least he’s off the tRump Kool-aid, unlike you. Maybe find someone besides Diaper Don to worship.
No he isn’t. I wouldn’t trust Cohen an inch.
It won’t matter, Trump is sure to be his own worst enemy under oath.
You have a point there. lol
Best show ever
You don’t even know if he will be placed under oath. You are hoping, and maybe he will.
@Mr C Get ready for a rerun on 2024, Senior. Do you have a tarjeta verde?
Absolutely.
Oh to be a fly on the wall of the office where they go through trump’s finances.
That would probably look like that storage facility from Indiana Jones as we’re talking about what? 45 million pages of information?
Ex-everyone else is subject to indictment.
Big deal if he’s an “ex-president” – do the crime do the time.
He’s a nobody
@William Springer Geezus man. You crop up everywhere with the same stupid “question” . Try something original for a change
@74 Rowe Before this all started, Vance stated he wanted to retire end 2021. If I was him though, I’d want to stay at least another year.
@Sheila Boston it’s like you retire the week before your team finally makes the Superbowl.
The fact that he’s “retiring” betrays that this is hopium.
Trump is in control.
BUT ITS OK FOR DEMOCRATS TO DO CRIMES AND GET AWAY WITH IT THOUGH RIGHT ?
@liberals are dumb strawman much
Let’s bring back Jack McCoy out of retirement.
Trump has a jet, a passport, money, foreign properties and a long family history of running from the law.. arrest him now
Trump’s jet has been grounded due to unpaid bills for three years (one of its engines has been removed).
@Allan Gibson Just like the rest of Trump’s life… a façade of greatness but really a shamble of decrepit lies.
@Allan Gibson agreed…but if he gets cornered he’ll get it running and pay the bills.
@Allan Gibson … Lol. A rich trailer trash.
Oh my goodness CY Vance needs to stay on until this is over america needs him right where he’s at!
👍👍👍
Yeah it worries me ! Im a New Yorker an I’ll be dammed if this clown gets off 🤡 I say don’t commit if ya gonna quit! Im starting to think it’s gonna be like the impeachments all over again
I have heard a rumor that Sunday is “Happy Meal Day “in Federal Prison….😹
WHY DO YOU ALWAYS ASKING IF THEY SHOULD CHARGE A FORMER PRESIDENT…
YOU SHOULD BE ASKING IF THEY SHOULD CHARGE A CRIMINAL.
the answer is YES
THEN JOE BIDEN , HUNTER BIDEN , DR FAUCI , BILL GATES , BILL CLINTON , HILLARY CLINTON , BARACK OBAMA , ILHAN OMAR, MAXINE WATERS , GOV CUOMO , SEN FEINSTEIN , NANCY PILOCI AND CHUCKY BOY SHUMMER SHOULD ALL DO SOME TIME AS WELL AS A FEW REPUBLICANS WHO SIDE WITH THESE LOSERS .
@liberals are dumb You people are leaving a LIE trump the SILVER TONGUE DEVIL realy got you.
Make sure that orange clown with a party city wig and orange makeup goes TO JAIL NY I HAVE FAITH IN YOUUUUUUU
Oh yeah ! will get em !
ONLY THING I HAVE FAITH IN FROM NY IS THEIR CRIME RATE THAT’S GOING UP .
If you’ve been payin attention crimes going up everywhere not just NY !stop ✋ haten
why dont they just look to promote someone within the department? Then everything can just continues as normal instead of this shake up
He should of never been allowed to run for president without releasing his taxes.😞😞😞😞😞😞
Why? There was never a law saying a presidential candidate must release his taxes before being allowed to run. You can ask, but not demand. The candidate can refuse, as Trump did. He said he was being audited. But that was his business and the IRS also.
@Tom Torrell … An audit four years in the making. Yeah right. Another of his thousands of lies.
@oldschoolfunkster1 You’re saying the IRS is covering for him? I didn’t think they did that.
@Tom Torrell … I doubt the IRS was covering for him. Trump was simply LYING to not have his tax records be public.
