Yes, Trump could get in trouble for his 'IRS settlement' slush fund scheme

Amid a politically punishing backlash against Donald Trump's flagrant $1.776 billion money grab for his criminal allies, a judge is considering whether to investigation if the "IRS settlement" on which the slush fund is based began as a legitimate court case or was a fraud on the court from the beginning. Former federal prosecutor Joyce Vance talks with Rachel Maddow about the legal guidelines the judge is considering.

Rachel Maddow looks at how federal prosecutors in Chicago crossed important lines of propriety in their desperation to secure indictments in politically charged cases and now face an angry backlash from a judge who is not at all pleased with their conduct. Chris Parente, defense attorney for a Chicago anti-ICE protester, talks with Rachel Maddow about pressing misconduct accusations against federal prosecutors who have been exposed for unethical behavior in trying to indict his client.

Senator Andy Kim joins Rachel to talk about the protests at the Delaney Hall immigrant prison in Newark, New Jersey, and the abuses by the Department of Homeland Security broadly across the United States.
