The Trump Organization is now under criminal investigation after the New York Attorney General joined the Manhattan DA’s probe into Trump’s business dealings and finances. Up until this point, the AG investigation into the former president was a civil probe. Trump denies all wrongdoing and calls the probe "corrupt." MSNBC’s Chief Legal Correspondent Ari Melber discusses the significance of this step and Trump’s reaction to the probe with former SDNY prosecutor John Flannery, MSNBC’s political contributor Dr. Jason Johnson, and The New York Times's Emily Bazelon. (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. ).

Little Donnie regarding Ivanka: I doubt that I could pick her out in a crowded room.
@Fraudster Biden-Dickknuckle still stuck in that Qhole I see.
If the machine wouldn’t accept their ballot why didn’t they just do the one thing anyone with half a brain would do? Calmly explain the problem one is having & request to use a different machine, & if the problem persisted, request a paper ballot & submit that.
The 2020 elections have been litigated 60 times. There have been recount after recount done at the bequest of little crybaby Trump. Everyone has bent over backwards trying to accommodate Trump & his supporters. And given the fact that Trump has been screaming about how the elections have been fixed against him since 2015 & no one has been able to produce a single bit of evidence to support his claims, give it up already!
Trump lost. Get over it already!
I am looking at closing also for Trump & his children but not yet for the former AG but that will becoming later. I believe it won’t be a surprise at all for many citizens of the USA or even other world leaders but the huge bombshell surprise’s will come from others who are still in USA Federal & State Government, etc. as highly respected citizens of the USA coming from also church, local law enforcement, news media & even other countries I believe that will also be charged that made it possible for Trump & his children to be charged with many crimes. It will be a real wake up call to everyone & especially the current Trump Republican Party that Democracy is still alive in the USA. The big question will be why didn’t the King & his children get out of the USA when they had the chance instead of just hanging around Florida & the golf course?
Elmosweed He talks similar to him; similar cadence
Donald Trump requests sharpie to add “Jr.” to all the documents he signed that would incriminate him.
@Fraudster Biden-Dickknuckle nice story
@Fraudster Biden-Dickknuckle Lmfao jesus christ you are insane
😂🤣😂🤣🙌👍
nice
Mango Mussolini loves the colour orange. A prison jumpsuit would suit him well.
I hope any lawyers he retains, know they are pro bono. He doesn’t pay.
@Pat Mahinie so you say there was no Russian disinformation campaign for the benefit of the Chosen One well actually there’s plenty of evidence to the contrary Spanky’s campaign manager at the time Paul Manaforte was caught as well as it was proven that he turned over voting data to Russian operatives which was used to target specific areas through our Achilles Heel the first amendment freedom of speech spreading BS about the Clinton’s that resulted in Spanky being able to narrowly win the presidency by gaming the electoral college the Mueller report was unable to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Spanky and his gang colluded with the Russian operatives due to the obstruction that the Mueller report did actually have evidence of however A. G. Barr suppression of the Mueller report as well as the rethuglican party majority in Congress at the time shielded the Chosen One from any consequences of that activity I’m not going to get into everything that was pretty obvious to anyone who is not blinded by the fear hatred greed and ignorance that Spanky and his gang took advantage of so I’ll finish with the fact that Spanky fired the American disease experts in China and elsewhere around the world to keep an eye out for any outbreaks of disease before they turn into a pandemic as well as the dismantling of the pandemic response team the Obama administration left him two years before the Rona hit us you figure it out if you have the intelligence which I doubt that you do have a nice day MAGA Morons Are Getting Arrested
@Pat Mahinie Hi Pat. Never question the will of God. His holy will has put Trump and his friend Gaetz under criminal investigation, and his friend Greenberg is already behind bars. If you don’t like that, take it up with the Almighty. 🇺🇸😘
@cortical1 Hi cortical1, how do you know this is God and not the devil leading the charge against the people you dislike? What if you are displaying arrogance and anger instead of courage and humility? What if you actually lack faith and have proven yourself too rebellious for God? What if you are more interested in lies instead of truth?
🥱🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@Pat Mahinie Hi Pat. Trump and his buddies Gaetz, Rudy, and Weiselberg are all under criminal investigation, as is his family business, which includes his children who run it. Facts don’t budge. How are you coping with this? 🇺🇸
Weislelberg: “I’m not saying anything to help you. I’m as loyal as the day is long.”
Feds: “Do you want to die in prison? That’s your choice.”
Weiselberg: “Turn on your tape recorder and buckle up!”
Feds: 😎
I’ll be waiting 👀
Got my popcorn 🍿 ready!

@Go Caps fear is all from how his supporters and those who work for Trump are unpredictable…like how his supporters come to places like this call it fake news and harass people…kind of like what you are doing…previous president supporter have never used their supporters to intimidate or break the law….it’s actually sad …that they feel it’s their duty to act like this…you support him right? If so what’s the point of coming to news that 90% don’t care for him and start a arguement when you look at news outlets that support Trump it’s rare to find a democrat there starting arguements or posting comments…
I can’t wait for accountability to take place. Now that he is in the neighborhood, I hope arrest will be swift with no resistance.
@Harold Holmes are you saying democrats are running Trump’s business?
🥱🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@Eric Luna
You’re referring to civil, and they’ve stated it’s a criminal investigation now. Not penalties, prison.

The legal consultants and attorneys on MSNBC are second to none. Great insight.
unfortunately, none of their segments on Trump being charged have happened, hopefully will occur soon, but not expecting anything!
It takes time to go through documents and convene a Grand Jury. Give it time.

It’s such a relief to see that that these people will be held accountable for any crimes they may have committed.
Right??! It feels sooo…. Vindicating!! Americans are OWED Justice! And this is a Good Start! Finally!!🥳
I won’t be relieved until the prison doors slam behind them.
WHEN, we wish, but I am not holding my breath!
We hope…

Perhaps poor Hillary will get the last laugh. “Lock him up! Lock him up!”
@Psongman Do you believe that if something doesn’t happen right now, today, then it will never happen..?

@Go Caps based on your beliefs my question is WHY are you here then. Fishing is a better use of trolling.

One of my favorite segments from Msnbc. Thank you for your coverage!
Attorney Melber is a master. I too thank him for so much clarity in a world of muddied water.
Thank God I thought he was gonna skate on everything,,,, im not at the point of believing in justice yet but I am hoping I can eventually have a good relationship with it.
