| 0:00.0 | Good evening from New York. I'm Jen Psaki and for Chris Hayes. Two and a half years |
| 0:08.8 | after the January 6th insurrection, we may tonight be on the eve of justice, coming |
| 0:13.8 | for the ex-president Donald J. Trump. We're awaiting a possible federal indictment |
| 0:18.9 | from special counsel Jack Smith over Trump's efforts to overturn the election and subvert |
| 0:24.5 | democracy. Well, but you not know for certain that one is coming. Trump himself was just |
| 0:29.4 | warned that he could be a receiving one. We are expecting the federal grand jury in |
| 0:33.2 | DC, the body that would deliver an indictment if there is one to meet again tomorrow. The |
| 0:38.5 | grand jury that has heard testimony from dozens of Trump insiders over the last several |
| 0:43.0 | months meets on Tuesdays and Thursdays. And just today, there have been a lot of new developments |

| 1:23.0 | police commissioner was on the ground searching, looking everywhere he could, for non-existent |
| 1:28.1 | voter fraud to keep Trump in power. And after months, months of refusing to hand over documents |
| 1:34.5 | to the special counsel's team, we learned today that Kerak turned over thousands of pages |
| 1:39.7 | of documents to Jack Smith's team. That's a lot of reading. And we'll sit down with prosecutors |
| 1:44.9 | in two weeks. According to the Daily Beast, the ex-president actually waived privilege on Friday |
| 1:50.3 | and agreed to let Kerak hand over those documents. I have a lot of questions about that and why |
| 1:54.5 | he did that. But that he is yet another Trump insider who will sit down with Jack Smith's |
