Im jim acosta. Welcome. Donald trump and the Special Counsel and the third indictment. Trump lawyers are now hitting back at a Monday Deadline Set by the judge overseeing his Election Interference Case arguing they should have until thursday to respond to the Special Counsels request for a protective court order. Jack smith is firing back telling the judge the delay is unnecessary. Whats all this about . The Special Counsel seeking to stop Defense Lawyers from sharing with trump copies of sensitive evidence pointing to this social media saying if you go after me, im coming after you. He is slamming the Special Counsel and Alayna Treene is there. He was really going after Special Counsel jack smith and engaging in more of this volatile rhetoric that is obviously now going to be a matter in his case here in washington. What more can you tell us . Reporter well, jim, i think that despite that court filing from the Special Counsel, jack smith and other prosecutor, i think you can anticipate donald trump will use that rhetoric he did last night and characterize these charges as Election Interference, criticize jack smith directly and continue to argue that he is a victim of political persecution. Last night in alabama, he did all of those things and i think youre going to hear him say a similar speech tonight and also similar to last night he will speak to a receptive crowd, South Carolina republicans in this room and so i think you can anticipate him to feel energized by that and knows the crowd that he is playing to. He knows that he can be defiant with them and that hell get the reaction that he wants. I also just want to point out something. He pointed to how these indictments are helping him politically. Lets listen to what he said in alabama. Every time they file an indictment, we go way up in the polls. We need one more indictment to close out this election. One more im and this election is closed out. Nobody has even a chance. Reporter now, jim, i can tell you from my conversations with Donald Trumps advisers that they do see the political advantages of these charges. They do recognize that among his Republican Base and primary voters specifically these are helping him in the polls. Helping him with his popularity, of course, the question is, if he is able to win the nomination its far from now and are not in the business of predicting that but they will be worried about what this mean for a general election. I think youll continue tonight to see him lean in to his whole playback and continue to argue that these can help him in the polls, jim. All right, Alayna Treene, lets discuss more with Michael Fanone attacked by Trump Supporters on january 6th while he was defending the u. S. Capitol along with a great many other Police Officers. Mike, great to see you again. Lets just start with what youre seeing from trump in this social media post. He said if you go after me we can put it up on screen, if you go after me im coming after you. Thats what he put on his truth social media account last night. I mean, this is barely a day after he was arraigned in court and already inciting people with these kinds of messages. What did you think when you saw that . Just more of the same. This is the same rhetoric that the former president use the in the weeks and months leading up to january 6th which those who are grounded in reality understand what took place that day, but its also deeply personal for me because as someone whos been outspoken against the former president , someone who advocated relentlessly for an indictment, you know, a lot of that rhetoric inspires attacks against myself and members of my family. Whether its in the form of threats or individuals actually coming to our residence and harassing us and its been a pretty steady pace ever since, you know, the first time i gave a news interview. And given what we just heard in that report a few moments ago, it sounds as though this will be trumps playbook throughout these cases playing out in court and will have rallies. Hes going to stir up his supporters and go after prosecutors and god knows who else during the proceedings and sounds like based on your experience that some of these other folks involved in these cases may need to be prepared for Trump Supporters to be lashing out at them in ways you understand all too well. Most definitely. I know a few people ive spoken to have said that, you know, security has been tightened. You know, jack smith obviously, im sure, has a significant amount of security as well as the members of his team. But, i mean, its a bizarre time in which you see a former president and so many members of his political apparatus attacking Law Enforcement and our, you know, career Public Servants in the department of justice. Last night he was talking about some of these indictments and most recent indictment down in alabama at an event he had down there. Lets listen to that. Every time the radical left democrats, marxist, come niss and fascists indict me i consider it a great badge of honor because im being indicted for you. Thanks a lot. Thanks a lot. They want to take away my freedom because i will never let them take away your freedom. Yeah, i mean whats your reaction . Hes using these cases to rile up his supporters. Oh, no doubt. I mean, he clearly is looking to maintain his base but also to profit from his many, now many criminal indictments, i mean, listen, i put a lot of bad people in prison, and, you know, the Courtroom Process was always theatrical, and, you know, donald trump is an entertainer, i think, Down To The Bone and this is just part of the performance. Let me ask you about the arraignment on thursday. What did you think and did it give you any more faith in our Justice System . Because you and i have talked about this a lot of times, and i know there were moments when you told me that you werent very confident that trump was going to be held accountable. I wasnt confident that we would get to that point until we got to that point, until i heard that the indictment had come down and really until trump was arraigned. But, i mean, for me its it doesnt answer the question that i ask myself time and time again throughout my career, you know, is it true that no one is above the law . But at least in this case i recognize the fact that there were some other individuals besides myself who bfelt that wy and were pilling to put their careers and personal safety on the line and pursue an indictment. So for that im very grateful for jack smith and his time. Youve got a little more confidence . I mean, ive got a little more confidence in a few individuals. Maybe not the whole system. Yeah, i mean, listen, its a work in progress, but where we go from here, i think, while im relieved to the fact that our Justice System worked this this particular case, ive got a personal investment. I put myself out there and have drawn the ire of trump and his cultlike supporters, and so, you know, its still concerning, you know, what the inevitable outcome of that trial is. Yeah, and i remember you were telling me just recently, in fact, just this past week because i was wondering what this meant to Police Officers who were up there at the Capitol On January 6th and you were telling me one of the reasons you decided to speak out and start speaking out, you simply looked at the body Camera Footage that came back from that day and that was part of the reason why you decided to start speaking out. Yeah, i mean, i saw what do you think people get that . I dont know if they do and i talk about it i talk about it in my book. I saw this footage. I thought it was horrific and i knew that, you know, my story and the Body Worn Camera footage can serve at least in my mind, i thought it could serve as some, like, undoubtable evidence as to the significance of that day. And, you know, at first we talked about it was about correcting the false narrative that Police Officers used disproportionate force against Trump Supporters than maybe they would against people of color and then from there, you know, republicans got involved and started to paint this portrait of the day that was so far from reality, simply to preserve and protect their own political careers and that of their, you know, partys leader, donald trump. Weve heard this time again, the trump team, they want the legal team want to push the cases off until after the election. What happens if theyre successful in doing that . Thats i dont know. You know, theres people that say that donald trump has a very good chance of becoming president of the united states. I cant even fathom what another term with trump at the helm would look like. I cant fathom what it would look like for this country other than it wouldnt be good and i cant imagine what it would look like for me as, you know, a Police Officer that served at the Capitol On January 6th, tried to protect, you know, my fellow officers and the people inside of the building, spoke out about it and, you know what do you think when you see these big rallies and people show up and they want to hear from him and support him . These polls show hes way out in front of the other republicans running for the nomination. I mean . What goes through your mind . Its infuriating. Its hard not to take it personally. I so all these americans and lets be realistic, these are people 2 1 2 three years ago i possibly would be have been sitting at a Bar Drinking A Beer with and now they are, you know, all in and wish some of the most disturbing things to, you know, happen to me and my family members, simply because of the fact that i told the truth about what happened to me and a hell of a lot other Police Officers on january 6th. Mike, well keep this conversation going. Thanks for coming in and thanks for reacting to this latest news. Well get you back in here again. Yeah, manage, thanks for having me. Appreciate it.

Xfinity rewards creates experiences big and small, and onceinalifetime. Cails are growing for donald trump to participate in the first debate. Top executives designed with him this week encouraging him to join other gop candidates at the networks debate later this month. Now his old running mate says he hopes the debatewary trump is on the stage. I hope hes there and were preparing either way. Because, frankly whether the former president is there or not theres real differences between me and others who will be on the stage, as well. Joining us news to discuss vanit vanity fair molly and shir michael. Let me turn to you, first, molly. This new poll shows nearly six out of t independents approv of the indictment on trump. Thats pretty remarkable. It is. And, i mean, you know, we could look at the polls in all different way, poll numbers show theres a significant number of people who still think the election wasnt legitimate. Well not talk about that for a second but 59 agreeing with, you know, this that this indictment is legitimate. It sounds like what theyre saying in this poll. Thats important. It is important, because we know the last election was won on the margins. Donald trump won in 2016 against Hillary Clinton on the margins. What he cannot allow if he is a nominee is not reach across the aisle and get some independent leaning conservative moderates, look at it. 45 of republicans told pollsters if the president is found guilty on any of those they will not vote for him. Theyre hoping regain the senate. Do you really want the top of the ticket really dragging down the rest of the candidates . Something that Party Official also have to ask themself. Molly, i can imagine donald trump just thumbing his nose at this debate. Why does he need to debate . 53 in the polls. Ron desantis is sort of slumped back into the rest of the pack and he can hold these rallies and go off on the Special Counsel and these cases which is by design, of course. He doesnt need to be in these debates. No, trump does not need to be in the debates. I do think eventually he will go in the debates because he loves to be the center of attention and one of the reasons why he wins these primaries or has historically is because he eats up all the oxygen. Hes still taking up much of the Republican Air even when you see them talk to the other candidates on the stump, mostly journalists want to know what they think about trump and see, again, and again, these other republicans defending trump, talking about trump. Protecting trump, so ultimately he is kind of the star of this primary contest. Yeah, i mean and shermichael, i want it ask you about a bunch of other stuff but molly brings up a good point. Why is it surrounding this indictment and arraignment of the former president you are seeing so many of his rivals almost coming to his defense . As if they were running for Vice President or part of his cabinet or Something Like that . You and i have been around a time or two and covered a number of campaigns and youve been working for other candidates. In the past, rival candidate was have seized on without a doubt. Oh, without a doubt. Why is it different now . This is truly a litmus test. Even if youre somehow able to usurp Donald Trumps lead and become the nominee of the party you still need that 37 of the base. You cannot win without those individuals. Even if you pair them with a sliver of folks in the middle, it is nod enough to beat the sitting president. So most of these candidates have learned like ron desantis is trying to play back again, come and talk positively about President Trump. If you Say Something negative about donald trump you will find yourself in 1 or 2 , not the appetite the Republican Base has. If you want to beat the guy you got to appease to those voters. Truly bizarre and, molly, Florida Governor ron desantis accepted california governor Gavin Newsoms challenge to debate on fox apparently. Why is desantis interested in Debating Newsom . This one, i dont understand. Newsom is not president. I mean, i think this ron desantis, the only answers that ron desantis is running for governor of california. I mean, its just baffling. I dont know what hes thinking. I think that its really it works out well for newsom because it keeps him in the National Spotlight and shows him as a possible alt if something were to happen to biden. Hes able to sort of, you know, grow his popularity beyond the National Stage in a very low stakes way. And if he wins it, you know, and newsom has had a lot of success on fox news, so this could be very good for him but desantis, its just it cannot help him, but, you know, desantis is really struggling and trying anything he can to go at trump without going at trump. Yeah, im not sure debating gavin newsom will be a cureall for ron desantis. But shermichael, the indictment from jack smith this week says trump called his Vice President too honest when he refused to comply with overturning the 2020 election and now pence is trying to use those words to his advantage and selling tshirts with too honest emblazoned on them. Is pence going to get anywhere with this . You have 25 of the Republican Base in the group of never trumpers. Then when you break down the polls even further, you look at the cross tab, 37 persuadable while 17 of them are leaning trump and then you have another 12 that someone else but trump so i think that the Vice President s teams are looking at the math and trying to figure out can we pull some voters to at least increase in the polls, increase our ability to fund raise and stay longer, especially after january. Thats what i think the calculation is, jim, but, again, this is a hard primary to be in as a republican if your name is not donald trump. If you dont agree with what hes doing and want to krit same him, thats not going to help. You dont want to stay i support this, this wont help in a general so youre darned if you do. Yeah, molly, lets get back to the arraignment, trump arraigned in d. C. On charges of trying to overturn the 2020 election. One of his lawyers spoke to reporters outside the courthouse, made some baffling im trying to be nice very strange remarks. Lets listen. Everybody was made aware that he lost the election but that doesnt mean that was the only advice he was given. As anybody understands what happens in the oval office there are a numerous amount of politicians and lawyers you can not just one or two giving you what they believe is true. The president has a right as every one of us do listen to several opinions and make share decision. Dont those remarks undercut the legal defense, everyone was made aware that i lost . Thats what she said. Shes just trying to flood the zone, right . She is just trying everything she can. You know, she is a right wing Television Star and earlier on in that interview she talks about hunter biden for about, you know, a long time, so i do think theyre just trying whatever they can to distract, to kick the can, put this off, you know, theyll do anything they can. I dont think that trumps people really care what did he know, when did he know it . They just, you know, they have decided that this is not about trump but this is somehow about joe biden so i do think shes just trying to obfuscate and kill time. But, shermichael, if shes out there saying, you know, everyone was made aware that trump lost the election, i mean, then why did we have january 6th . I mean, this goes back to the Special Counsels case that was made in the indictment, and i heard this from my own source, many of my colleagues heard this from their source, trump was fully aware he lost the election and would grumble how did i lose to this guy and for one of his attorneys or whatever shes doing for the campaign, for donald trump to get out there and say this, its kind of remarkable. I mean, jim, i sort of unpacked this in two camps. You have whats going to be discussed in the courtroom, and, you know, politics will not interfere, there will be a judge who willover see it and a jury of trumps peers and look at all of the evidence. Then theres the public component of this, which i think the former president has been pretty effective at and thats articulating the case to the American People, making this a political persecution of the guy who will likely be the arc rival of the current president. Does this look like its okay to you . Do you think this is acceptable that the Justice Department of the sitting president is investigating the guy that may be running against him, and theyre trying to make that argumentment well see if its enough to move numbers but i think thats how theyre trying to unpack it for the American People and wonder if at some point, jim, Will Indictment Fatigue Set in and if it does does it benefit the former president . Molly, what do you think . We havent gotten into his social media posts which is downright dangerous inciting people again. And was talking with Michael Fanone about this and he is concerned as Well Somebody could get hurt in all of this and theres a whole new cast of people that donald trump can put in danger with this kind of incitement. But it sounds as though this is the plan to go out on the Campaign Trail and do this sort of thing. Well, trump is always sort of doing the kind of worst that you could imagine, right . That truth that we saw last night was shocking but wasnt unexpected, right . Weve seen him do things like that before. I think trump world had said three indictments somehow helped him, that once he got more indictments and even yesterday night at an event he said he just needs one more indictment to get the primary, and you know, i think that is true. I think with republican primary voter voters this works very well but can you grow the electorate and convince a purple state voter that you really want to go along with this guy again and i think thats what its going to be. Look, he doesnt have to win the popular vote, he just needs to win the Electoral College so its a gail of much smaller numbers in much swingier states, but i still think this does not grow the electorate. Yeah, we saw that in 2018, 2020, 2022. All right, molly jongfast and shermichael singleton. Thanks.

The indictment says trump turned to someone listed as coconspirator 1. This person he announced would spearhead the efforts to challenge the election. Coconspirator 1 we now believe is Rudy Giuliani, a onetime political star whose reputation has fallen far for the man once known as americas mayor. Cnn randi kaye has more on the rise and fall of Rudy Giuliani. What happened to theres no black america, theres no White America . There is just america. [ cheers and applause ] what happened to it . Reporter Rudy Giuliani at the 2016 Republican National convention, this was not the kid from brooklyn that america had come to know. Giuliani had earned a reputation for being tough on crime as a young assistant u. S. Attorney. At 39 he was appointed u. S. Attorney for the Southern District of new york, Zeroing In On Organized Crime and white collar criminals. After becoming mayor of new york city in 1993 he took credit for making manhattan safe. Then came 9 11. Giuliani was the picture of strength with some calling him americas mayor. The citys going to survive. Well get through it. Reporter and Time Magazine named him person of the year. Giuliani failed in his own 2008 president ial bid. Today im officially announcing my withdrawal as a ked for president of the united states. Reporter but in 2016 he was back on the Campaign Trail as a surrogate for donald trump. He will be the leader of the change we need. Reporter Soon Giuliani became a regular on cable news. Shut up, moron. Shut up. Shut up. You dont know what youre talking about. Bill clinton asked what is this guy romney like. I said hes our al gore. All right, rudy, hold that thought. Reporter Giuliani Began Peddling OutlandishConspiracy Theories and insisted Hillary Clinton had some mysterious illness. Go online and put down Hillary Clinton illness, take a look at the videos for yourself. Reporter his behavior prompted this politico headline, is Rudy Giuliani losing his mind . Things only got more strange from there. There you go, my dear. Reporter in october, 2020, he made a bizarre cameo in Sacha Baron Cohens movie outfitted with hidden cameras. On twitter he defended himself calling The Hidden Camera video a complete fabrication. After trump lost the 2020 election, giuliani claimed trump won and pushed false claims about voter fraud. It all reached a bizarre crescendo at this now infamous November 2020 press conference flamged by trumps legal team outside philadelphia. Giuliani didnt offer any proof the election had been stolen as he promised. There are dead people voting. No question about it. Reporter in a later News Conference sweating and with hair dye running down his face, giuliani still offered no evidence of voter fraud and instead made a random reference to a popular movie. Did you all watch my cousin vinny. You know the movie. One of my favorite law movies. Reporter just as he railed against nonexistent Election Fraud he learned the race had been officially called for joe biden. Oh, my goodness. All the networks. Wow all the networks we have to forget about the law. Reporter after trumps election loss, giuliani faded a bit from the spotlight. Aside from hawking cigars and gold coins. Give them a call and tell them ruud sent you. Reporter but jack smith ha hadnt forgotten him and interviewed him as part of the investigation into efforts to overturn the 2020 election. And hes a target in the fulton county, georgia, investigation into Election Interference and being sued by both Dominion Voting Systems and smartmatic for defamation over his Election Fraud claims.
