The Hardball Briefing On MSNBC
------------------------------------------------------
According to court documents and law enforcement, a federal wiretap picked up
New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer (D) seeking the services of a prostitute last
month. Gov. Spitzer apologized to his wife and family during a hastily arranged
press conference this afternoon. Tune in tonight for the latest on this
breaking story.
Should Spitzer resign? We'll bring you reaction from New Jersey Gov. Jon
Corzine (D)
Spitzer's political career is peril, but could he face criminal prosecution as
well? We'll take a look at the legal implications of this story with MSNBC's
Dan Abrams, host of "Verdict with Dan Abrams" which launches next Monday at 9pm
ET.
Plus, Sen. Obama came out swinging today on the '08 trail, ridiculing the
suggestion that he would be an ideal running mate for Sen. Clinton. NBC's Chuck
Todd, Andrea Mitchell, and the Financial Times Chrystia Freeland will bring you
the latest back-and-forth from the campaigns.
Don't miss tonight's Politics Fix as we take a closer look at the Spitzer
scandal and preview tomorrow's Mississippi primary.
