he did it to protect donald trump. cohen lied to congress about business deals trump pursued in russia while he was running for president because trump wanted him to conceal those business deals so his russia baggage wouldn't look so obvious. and cohen lied to a bank to take out a home equity line of credit to pay to silence a woman alleging a sexual relationship with donald trump. namely stormy daniels. trump weirdly keeps leaving out those details when he calls his former personal attorney and fixer a criminal. in clear violation, by the way, of a gag order. tomorrow there will be another chance to hold donald trump accountable in an unprecedented case with farther reaching implications, not just for him but for our democracy. the u.s. supreme court will hear arguments in donald trump versus the united states about whether he can claim sweeping presidential immunity over his criminal election interference charges from special counsel jack smith. but even for the conservative majority hears one word of arguments, it i

we show a 46-44 race for donald trump. all those liabilities for biden, trump only ahead two. what the trump folks have been hoping, rfk, gobbles up votes. but, look what happens when we add rfk's name to the mix. suddenly, we have a new leader. joe biden, 39%, donald trump 37%, kennedy getting 13%. in other words, we're seeing by a better than two-to-one margin, it's trump voters who are flipping over to kennedy in the scenario, not biden voters. see it here, 15% of trump voters, when we add rfk's name, they go to rfk. only 7% of biden voters. a big change right there. >> defies conventional wisdom. there's no doubt about that. >> absolutely. we haven't seen this in other polls. one final note is this, the question of enthusiasm. i thought this really jumped out here. the most engaged voters, those who voted in 2020, voted in the midterm elections, those folks are voting for biden by nine points. where trump's strength is, why he leads biden, it's voters who don't typically turn out in many elections. didn't vote in '20 and '22. they are with trump by more than 20 points. the

other trump aids await trial. another recently became the first white house aide to go to prison from a january 6th probe. so, there is huge process on that legal track. even as the current speaker of the house goes farther than, well, anybody probably since the civil war, to openly embrace convicted seditionist's. and that is the other path, a congress siding with convicts who invaded congress. we will cover that part of the path in a moment. but, here is the point i want to make in our special report opening the program tonight. the wheels of justice are moving forward. after a slow start, we are seeing a lot of accountability on the legal path to deal with the insurrection. so, i am going to show you what exactly we are seeing on the evidence. it starts very simple. we are going to fill out this chart for you over time as we sometimes do, but it starts there, with the very top of this chart where after a slow start, the first conviction came about a year after the 2021 january 6th attack. in march 2022, a convi

well is trump. that's because of the pressure placed on the southern district of new york by main justice. all the while, folks were saying, doj, are you okay? not knowing that jeff berman was fighting to the last moment with folks very senior in trump's justice department to try to get the story to be told in as truthful a way as prosecutors wanted it to be. >> blinking in morse code. it didn't do much at the time. let the history books write it however they want. a lot of this, if there was not a criminal trial, it might never have been known to the public and the voters. >> another interesting thing if it come out, michael cohen for all of this period was a salaried employee of the trump organization. we learned that today it was mentioned in the openings, "the new york times" in 2020, a lot of tax information and employment records. and we could see he was a salaried employee. he was being paid a w-2. why did they need to pay him this extra money if he's already on staff? it's not unheard of. yo

of trump. those voters are motivated by issues like abortion to put their evangelical hero back in the white house. even in states like ohio, efforts to enshrine the right to abortion in state constitutions have been wildly and consistently successful, largely because of the densely populated deep blue cities in those states. and so turning those cities less blue, maybe even purplish, is now a priority. cities like columbus, ohio, where former ohio state buckeyes defensive lineman joel penton lives. in 2018, penton launched a group called lifewise academy, which provides off-campus bible studies to public elementary school students during the school day. it is raising serious questions about the separation of church and state. penton has expanded his mission to put god back in the public school day, and he credits his newfound motivation to ohio's victorious abortion ballot measure. >> when i see what just happened in my state with the new amendment for ohio for abortion, it is not only incredi

vote biden and trump need. there's one group that loves the guy. there's a second group that votes for him but doesn't like his character or personality, but they have decided to stick by him on this. i think it's always possible they get temporarily moved by this behavior, but i look at this third group of voters. the double haters, the people that don't like either biden or trump. our political system. that's where this can have an impact and if they move one or two points, it's the equivalent of the base moving ten points. so i also think you know we're going to be only seeing small movement but if it's among that group of voters that are the deciders, it's pretty significant. >> how surprised are you this is where we are at? when you look at the long history of this country and we're experiencing something so unprecedented. what kind of new standard, if anything, is this setting for future presidents? >> i would warn anybody wanting to run to office, don't do what donald trump did. you know, nobody wants to
