0:00.0	Good evening from New York. I'm Jen Saki and for Chris Hayes. It is Tuesday and we are
0:09.2	all still on indictment watch in Special Counsel Jack Smith's investigation into the effort to
0:14.4	steal the 2020 election. So the grand jury was expected to meet again in Washington DC today,
0:20.6	but as we learned this afternoon, they didn't. The next time they're scheduled to meet is Thursday,
0:26.2	and there are new developments in the Special Counsel investigation. We're going to tell you about

1:27.2	brings an indictment. Arguing that the report must, quote, remain for the District Attorney's
1:31.7	eyes only, at least until final charging decisions have been made. Much more in those
1:36.7	looming indictments in Georgia coming up later in the show. And as we await the special counsel's
1:42.1	likely second indictment of Donald Trump on a federal level, we are also continuing to learn
1:47.2	more about his election investigation, Jack Smith, that is. In particular, the witnesses he is
1:52.9	talking to, and there's some significance here. You remember, you may remember this man. His name
