Morning Joe updated viewers about the latest in the investigation by Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg into Trump's payment to Stormy Daniels.
"Daniels herself has not been interviewed," Mika Brzezinki said.
"Michael Cohen has met with prosecutors for several hours of questioning, but has yet to testify in front of the grand jury. If Bragg's office finds Trump falsified business records connected to those payments, and in furtherance of another crime, election fraud, he could be charged with a felony. NBC News has reached out to Kellyanne Conway for a comment, but has not received a response."
She noted Chris Christie's comments to Hugh Hewitt.
HUGH HEWITT: Given all that you know about the president's legal peril, being a prosecutor for so many years, do you expect he will be indicted before the debates begin in July and August? By Jack Smith, by the New York district attorney, do you expect an indictment of the former president?
CHRISTIE: I think the most likely place it will happen is New York and I think it's the least harmful matter to him. If, in fact, all they're looking at is the Stormy Daniels payments, I think Leticia James has made it clear she's a political prosecutor and she promised she was going to go get Donald Trump and I think she probably will. I also don't think it will do much harm to him. In terms of likelihood of indictment, I put New York first, the special counsel second, Georgia third. In terms of the seriousness of peril for the president, I put the special counsel above either of those.
HEWITT: Do you expect an indictment by July?
CHRISTIE: I expect that New York probably would act. I don't know when the special counsel would act. My guess is that New York would act by that time.
"I try not to correct former U.S. attorneys, but Leticia James isn't doing the Stormy Daniels payoff. That's Alvin Bragg," Scarborough said.
