First up today: Rudy Giuliani works his magic as Donald Trump's newest attorney -- and it appears to have exploded spectacularly. On Wednesday night, the former NYC Mayor admitted on air that Trump reimbursed his embattled "fixer" and personal lawyer Michael Cohen for the $130,000 in hush money paid to Stormy Daniels just days before the 2016 Presidential election \u2013 a payment that Trump had long denied making himself. Then Giuliani dug the hole deeper by making clear that the payment was meant to protect Trump's candidacy. We discuss and clarify whether and how the new revelations add to the President's legal peril. Election transparency expert John Brakey and longtime election attorney Chris Sautter, both of Americans United for Democracy, Integrity and Transparency in Elections (AUDIT USA) discuss their lawsuit filed in Ohio in advance of the state's 2018 mid-term primary next Tuesday.

Brakey and Sautter explain why preventing the destruction of the images in question is at the center of their multi-partisan suit, and why they continue to press election officials in Ohio and in many other states to ensure that digital ballot scanners are set to retain all such images for public oversight after Election Day.
