New: A key witness in the NY D.A's Trump Org probe says she's now facing threats for describing alleged crimes in an interview on The Beat.
"Monday night I appeared with Michael Cohen [on The Beat]," says Jennifer Weisselberg, "I spoke about how I know [Allen Weisselberg is] hiding money in escrow... There's definitely tax fraud. There's definitely tax evasion. For the first time, they seem really nervous."
Jennifer Weisselberg says after her interview, she received an eviction notice that she views "as a threat."

A Black woman who was removed from her car at gunpoint with four underage family members by Aurora, Colorado, police officers last year has filed a civil rights lawsuit against the city and police officials. Police incorrectly believed Brittney Gilliam had stolen the vehicle...
Her attorney David Lane joined @AriMelber to discuss her case, asserting: "She was trying to show the police her registration and her license plate number matched the registration. The police wouldn't look at a piece of paper to determine that this was not a stolen car."
"These kids had been for weeks and months seeing on the news every night white police officers killing African Americans for no reason whatsoever. And these little kids get pulled out of a car at gunpoint." - attorney David Lane on the incident

Did you know that most of the people in our jails are innocent?
Under America's cash bail system, if you are rich, you’re innocent until proven guilty and you prepare for trial at home. If you aren't -- you're "innocent until proven guilty" -- but you're stuck in jail until trial, because you can't pay bail.
As @AriMelber points out: being in jail doesn't feel very innocent. It also hampers your ability to prepare a defense.

America's racial challenge is a huge issue in the Trump-era. That may sound obvious, but it is actually a long way from the misplaced talk around 2008 that "Obama's election alone somehow cured America" of all the work left to do.
"American racism does not fade on its own or dissipate after a few breakthroughs, no matter how big." @AriMelber
As @arimelber explains, systemic racism would never end in one night. To understand that racism is systemically embedded in our laws and prisons and economy and in our brains is to understand that it endures by default unless it is explicitly uprooted and reformed.

“The California Congresswoman was picked by her peers to run the Congressional Black Caucus and she has a history in grassroots politics from volunteering as a teenager on the 1968 RFK Campaign.” @AriMelber

THREAD: In a special report, @AriMelber analyzes new ways campaign spending can shape the race, online and off, in a election where "democracy is now literally more expensive for candidates than it's ever been before."

@AriMelber Democrats now have two billionaires contenders, with debate newcomer Mike Bloomberg being the richest person to ever run for president. While few billionaires have self-funded races before, Trump is the first person to self fund a primary and win.

WATCH: Multi-million dollar media buys are almost a requirement for getting near the nomination. Federal courts have cut back laws that regulate campaign spending, which leaders in both parties have warned may "cripple the political process."

When Obama won the 2008 Election, a landmark bribery case grew out of his Senate vacancy. The decision on who would be appointed to the seat fell into the hands of to Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich – an outlandish politician who didn't follow the norms.
WATCH: In 2010, Blagojevich tried to rebound from a corruption scandal by appearing on "Celebrity Apprentice" with Donald Trump.
.@AriMelber on the similarities between Trump and Blagojevich:
"That politician turned reality star faced off with a reality star turned politician. Their thirst for manufactured attention was not their only mutual interest or habit here, because both have faced bribery scandals"
