MSNBC's Rachel Maddow said the network couldn't "knowingly broadcast untrue things" as its reasoning behind not taking former President Donald Trump's post-indictment speech live.

The highly paid anchor and Russiagate enthusiast usually only appears Monday nights but joined MSNBC's special coverage on Tuesday of the historic federal charges against Trump, where she explained why the left-wing network would not air Trump in real time as he addressed supporters in Bedminister, New Jersey.

"As we have said before in these circumstances, there is a cost to us as a news organization to knowingly broadcast untrue things," she said. "We are here to bring you the news. It hurts our ability to do that if we live broadcast what we fully expect in advance to be a litany of lies and false accusations, no matter who says them.”
