| 0:00.0 | Good morning. It's Saturday, March 18th. I'm Katie Fang, filling in this morning for my friend, Ali Velshi. We are continuing to follow breaking news this hour in a new post on Truth Social this morning. Former President Donald Trump is claiming that leaks from the Manhattan District Attorney's Office indicate that he will be arrested on Tuesday, |
| 0:22.8 | and he's calling for his supporters to protest. |
| 0:25.7 | To be clear, this is just a claim being made by the former president. |
| 0:29.1 | There has been no official announcement from the Manhattan DA's office |
| 0:32.4 | and no other indication that we know of at this hour that charges have been filed against the former president. |
| 0:38.3 | And a spokesperson from the DA's office declined to comment this morning. In a statement following |
| 0:43.3 | up on Trump's post, his spokesman also confirmed that they have not received any notification |
| 0:48.3 | that Trump will be arrested or indicted. And Trump's Super PAC sent out a press release slamming |
| 0:54.1 | Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg. |

| 1:22.5 | Other key Trump White House figures like Kellyanne Conway and Hope Hicks have also recently met with prosecutors |
| 1:29.0 | in Manhattan. And just yesterday, sources told NBC News that local, state, and federal law enforcement |
| 1:35.7 | agencies had already started preparing security measures in New York in case charges are filed |
| 1:41.6 | against Trump. This is, of course, happening against the backdrop of |
| 1:46.2 | the start of the 2024 presidential race. Just last night, Trump's campaign confirmed that he will |
| 1:51.6 | hold his first official rally next Saturday in Waco, Texas. Joining me now by phone is my colleague |
| 1:59.3 | Lawrence O'Donnell, the host of MSNBC's The Last Word. |
| 2:04.3 | Lawrence, thanks so much for kicking us off the 10 o'clock hour. |
