Office in ohio retaliation for maralago it was a terrorist act in cincinnati, ohio what were learning about the gunman, his january 6th past, and his alleged truth social posts. Author Salman Rushdie violently attacked on stage. Ready for signature, democrats pass their marquee mega bill and the wouldbe bank heist turned tunnel rescue live from cnbc, the facts, the truth, the news with shepard smith. Good evening. The fbi is investigating former President Trump for potentially violating the espionage act. Thats just one of the bombshells contained in the federal search warrant for top secret documents that mr. Trump allegedly stashed away at his florida mansion when he left office today at the request of attorney general Merrick Garland and with no objection from the former president , a judge publicly released the warrant and a list of items fbi agents seized during their search of maralago on monday the list includes a trove of top secret and classified documents, information about the president of france, a handwritten note, binders of photos, and the grant of clemency mr. Trump gave to his long time ally, roger stone. Fbi agents also laid out several crimes that President Trump may have committed to justify their search of his home federal investigators say mr. Trump may have broken the law under the espionage act, which prohibits the unauthorized possession of National Security information that could harm the United States or help americas adversaries. They say he also may have violated a federal law that makes it a crime to destroy, conceal, or alter documents to obstruct a government investigation. The National Archives has been fighting for more than a year to get mr. Trump to return all of the documents he kept and brought with him to florida. He turned over some boxes of records but just months ago in the spring, a federal grand jury subpoenaed mr. Trump for sensitive documents that he allegedly still had at maralago the Washington Post reports classified documents relating to Nuclear Weapons were among the records that fbi agents were searching for. Former President Trump insists all of the documents he brought with him to maralago had been declassified of course, the president of the United States is the only Government Official who can declassify information at will but its unclear if mr. Trump ever actually took any action to do so. And the fbi has made it clear these were top secret and classified records dania perry, former assistant u. S. Attorney for the Southern District of new york, former Deputy Attorney general, thanks. Good to be here these would be incredibly serious violations put them into context for us yeah, youre exactly right. Before this search warrant was unsealed or was reported in the news, it was believed that the search warrant related really just to the taking and the retention of official documents that should instead have gone to the National Archives. With todays disclosures, it serves clear the search warrant was predicated among other things also on the concealment or retention of National Security documents, which carries heavier penalties than, of course, is a much more serious crime. So the agent would have had to sign, to swear to under oath, an affidavit with the factual basises for believing that these documents existed, that they were to be found on the premises, and that they violated several statutes that are listed on the face of the search warrant. And a judge, an independent magistrate judge, agreed with that and issued the warrant. So yes, these are very serious violations that are alleged here the warrant mentioned National Defense information, so what does that tell us about what gave the fbi and the attorney general urgency to act here, and whether they were looking for anything specific . All that we know from the face of the documents that were released from their four corners is that some of the documents relate to National Security. I heard your introduction, i understand the president , former president , some of his allies are already trying preemptively to frame some sort of a defense of, you know, that he declassified them. Whether or not he can wave a magic wand and do so is a significant question, but i think its a red herring in any event. For a number of reasons, including that only one of those statutes relates to National Security violations. The others really are obstruction of an official federal proceeding and just the retention of official documents. But even the National Security statute that is claimed to have been violated doesnt have anything to do necessarily with the classified documents the espionage act was enacted well before the modern classification system came around does this tell you there will be charges not necessarily ill say in my long experience within the department of justice and also defending cases brought by the department of justice, yes, there usually is a near perfect correlation between execution of a search warrant and the bringing of charges. Its the same standard of proof for each its probable cause, and thats it so necessarily, this means that at least a neutral third party found there was probable cause and a grand jury likely would too. But thats not the end of it we have seen with other high profile cases including rudy giuliani, the search warrant that was executed well over a year ago, no charges were brought. So its the beginning but not the end. So we wait and see what happens next danya perry, our thanks to you tonight. President trump has been making the baseless and false claim that former president obama took more than 30 million classified documents when he left the white house today, the National Archives completely debunked that argument in a statement, saying all of those records were unclassified mr. Obama didnt take them the National Archives moved them to a National Archives facility in chicago and the documents have always been in the agencys possession, it says. Bradley moss now, a lawyer who specializes in that exactly. Republicans on capitol hill appear unphased. They are still demanding to know more about the underlying justification for the search the ranking republican on the House Intelligence Committee, congressman mike turner, spoke earlier this morning what was the National Security basis that was an apparent immediate threat requiring this action opposed to all of the other actions they could have taken that is a question we still dont know the exact answer to, and in the meantime, the president s allies are accusing the Biden Administration of weaponizing the doj. To be clear, the white house says President Biden had no role in this search and zero prior knowledge of it. Peter baker is with us tonight chief White House Correspondent for the New York Times, also an nbc news political analyst. Peter, good evening. The attorney general wanted to quiet the political attacks by releasing this document, but what do you see happening now . Well, theyll never quiet the attacks but what he has done is outline there was a very serious issue involved here. And the former president cant simply say, hey, this is all nothing to see in fact, raises questions about the former president in terms of his own criminal culpability on a rather serious charge as you outlined were not just talking about keeping some papers that should have been in a file here or there. This is about the espionage act, destruction or concealment or removal of documents in an illegally way. This basically undercuts the argument this is simply a political, you know, retaliation against him. Especially because we know that the Justice Department and the fbi have been trying to get these documents back from him for several months without cooperation from him does the former president and all of his allies, do they see this as an asset or a liability Going Forward . I think they saw in the beginning of the week as an asset. They thought they could play into this politics and grievance that has been so successful for President Trump in the past. Heres the deep state, the president coming after the former president because theyre afraid of him challenging him in 2024 its a good narrative. It works for a lot of Trump Supporters i do think todays revelations are more concerning for a lot of republicans. They may not be saying it out loud, but theyre not as interested in jumping out in front and defending the former president if in fact he was courting nuclear secrets, as some of the reports have indicated or other classified information that shouldnt be out of his hand. Republicans were very critical, understandably of Hillary Rodham clinton in 2016 for the handling of her emails, and pointed out that was, you know, a possible risk to National Security. Well, here you have got documents that are already classified very, very sensitive, long before the president removed them from the white house, and he did not return them, even after subpoena had been issued. At this point, the Clinton Emails feel like ancient history, but if youre the Biden Administration which is trying to establish some distance here, does this help or hurt the prospects going into 2024 . Well, you know, i dont think they dont know and its probably too early to say a lot of shoes have to drop before the nomination battles get under way. Will there be any charges, will there be a further investigation . Will we learn more about what the documents were and why they were important will it change peoples minds about this episode will there be other legal actions from some of the various other investigations ongoing, the Georgia Election case, the january 6th investigation, so many things we dont know between now and the next nominations that we really cant predict. For the moment, donald trump still controls the support of more republicans than any other potential candidate and hes the strongest candidate for their nomination, whether it makes them more of a challenge to President Biden at this point, you know, well see. All right, peter baker, New York Times nbc news analyst our thanks to you. New details tonight on the gunman who attacks an Fbi Field Office in cincinnati how the feds are responding.

The goal was to have 60,000 active duty enlistments but with about seven weeks left in the governments financial year, the army has only recruited about half the armys secretary tells us the army is projected to be short by as many as 15,000 recruits one reason, the pool of people eligible to join the military is shrinking. Reasons why include obesity, drug use, or criminal records. The army chief of staff general James Mcconville testified before congress back in may. He said only 23 of americans ages 17 to 24 are qualified to serve without a waiver thats down from 29 in recent years. Its been almost a year since the last u. S. Troops left afghanistan.

And they were incredibly successful there are now 42 former afghan women soldiers living in the u. S. Some evacuated from the kabul airport a year ago we left our country, we left our family, we left everything in the process, developed lasting friendships.

Fbi agents seized top secret documents from maralago and former President Trump is under federal investigation for possibly violating the espionage act and mishandling sensitive National Security records. Those are just some of the revelations from the search warrant released today mr. Trump insists he declassified all of the documents he brought to his florida home and private club when he left office. But the fbi made it clear that the trove of documents it found inside maralago on monday were considered top secret, classified, and confidential federal investigators say mr. Trump may have also broken a law that prohibits destroying, altering, or concealing documents to obstruct a government investigation bradley moss joins us now, a lawyer who specializes in National Security issues bradley, were glad you could join us a little later in the broadcast. The former president claims hes declassified everything. One, is it possible for us to know whether he actually did and two, if he did, would it defend him against any potential charges from the statutes in the warrant . Sure, so this will certainly play a role in terms of his critical defense, which is going to be all the stuff was declassified the problem hes going to face is that his administration did not tend to do the followthrough on issues like this so he could verbally have pointed at documents and said i declare them declassified, but theres followup that has to be handled, paperwork each individual document had to be marked to remove the classification markings. It had to be stamped indicating they were declassified by when and by whom. Theres no indiction any of that was done when these documents were transported down to maralago, they still had to be handled by now private citizen trump as if they were classified bradley, we appreciate your perspective this evening were glad you could join us a little later on. We also want to bring in renato mariotti, a former federal prosecutor renato, what stood out to you from the statutes that were listed in the search warrant i actually think the statute that you referred to as an obstruction statute is very interesting. We dont know exactly what the fbi and doj had in mind there. However, ordinarily what i would say is that statute is used to charge folks who are actually trying to hide documents or change or alter documents in order to impede a federal investigation. Thats how i charge the statute when i was a prosecutor. Thats how i have seen it in private practice they may be taking a broader reading here, focused primarily on just getting the documents back we dont know, but its very interesting. Theres also been a lot of ink spilled and air time spent on the issue of the espionage act. Tell us how broad that is and what we can actually deduce from that a great question because that is a very broad statute. It does not necessarily mean that the doj thinks that the former president engaged in anything resembling espionage as we usually know it what it means is that they believe that he mishandled and was and had taken and hidden sensitive defense documents, classified documents thats what this is really about. And what we, i think, Going Forward, what we dont know is whether theres even another factor here involving obstruction. We also dont know whether or not they intend to charge or whether their focus was solely on securing the classified material it adds to the computations of how many irons in the fire doj has when it comes to the former president there were questions prior to today as to whether this search could have also involved the january 6th investigation. Can we rule that out now it doesnt appear to be connected to the january 6th investigation. Or investigation of fake electors or anything else. This appears to be focused on this National Security issue regarding these documents. Which ironically, may be a stronger legal case than some of the other legal issues that are surrounding the january 6th committee. And what might he have on the president of france . Thats an excellent question. That maybe is better asked to somebody who has seen the classified material regarding that, but i will just say, it will be very difficult for him to go into my area of expertise, very difficult for him to explain to a jury why he needs to have the folders on the president of france and why he needs to have potential nuclear information, top secret information, when hes no longer president. I think that is very difficult to explain i think president macron probably has the same question well see what we can learn. Renato mariotti, have a great weekend. Thank you. Historical perspective now from nbc news president ial historian Michael Beschloss. He was among the historians who reportedly met with President Biden last week to discuss the state of democracy michael, thanks. A pleasure. Is there any parallel in history to the moment were in right now . Well, i think everyone would say that this is a time when democracy is in danger in all sorts of ways. And if you had to look at two moments in American History where that was also true, one was 1860, when there was a danger of violence and the country terribly divided, led to civil war. And then of course, in the 1930s, when there was mass unemployment, economic dislocation, a lot of dissatisfied people, dictatorial governments in nazi germany and italy and japan. That was a time that americans thought that perhaps our democracy might be in danger here so what we have heard from President Biden in recent months is that he feels this could be a similar moment so what, mikchmichael, is th valve that releases some of that pressure thats a really good way of putting it i think what the valve is that people feel that our system works. And from President Bidens point of view, hes passed a number of laws in the last week and last number of months that address basic issues of climate and economy and taxes. If people feel that a president is accomplishing something, that will help go a long way. There are those who are casting doubt upon the rule of law, threats against the fbi and the doj. Has the department ever faced this sort of a test before not quite like this and this was Something Else we saw before the civil war and in the 1930s. But in the early 1990s, there were threats to american institutions, for instance, there was an attack on the Federal Building in Oklahoma City in 1995 this kind of thing tends to rise when people are dissatisfied and the country is divided so you want to reduce it, the best way is for the country somehow to regain that sense of unity that we have gotten throughout American History. We go through these moments, we unify again. I sure hope this is a moment like that. President biden, when he took office, pledged to unify the country. It was a tall order then how hard is it now extremely hard. Maybe almost harder than ever before, and certainly that is the case in modern times so we may be going through a rough period we have to remember that what this country was founded on was an idea that were going to have all sorts of different views, regional differences, all sorts of differences, but in the end, were one country. This is more important to remember that at this moment than ever before Michael Beschloss with the Historical Perspective tonight michael, thank you well, former President Trumps search warrant took up most of the oxygen today President Biden picked up a huge win. Lawmakers in the house voting to pass a major climate, tax, and Health Care Bill the motion is adopted democrats cheering on the house floor, immediately after the Inflation Reduction Act passed the vote, 220207. Not a single republican voted for the bill they have been arguing it will make inflation worse every democrat backed it the Senate Passed it on sunday, also along party lines, using Vice PresidentKamala Harris as the tiebreaking vote now, it heads to President Bidens desk where he says hell sign it into law next week nbcs Senior National reporter sahil kapur has been tracking the bill this comes after a very long road of negotiations thats right, kayla more than a year of negotiations with numerous, countless near death experiences for this piece of legislation and after all that, democrats finally get their victory, a Vote Along Party Lines in the senate and the house of representatives. Not a single republican voted for it, and whats in this bill . Lets put this up on the television a series of provisions that are very important and will last for many years 370 billion to fight Climate Change with a host of incentives for electric cars, for energy star appliances, medicare for the first time will be empowered to negotiate Prescription Drug prices to lower costs for seniors. A 35 a month cap on insulin, a 2,000 a month cap on out of pocket drug expenses for seniors. Theres a threeyear funding for the Affordable Care act. Those enhanced premium subsidies that were set to expire this fall no sticker shock coming for millions of americans this fall as a result of it. And theres a 15 corporate minimum tax with some exemptions for accelerated depreciation for certain types of partnerships. All told the bill is expected to reduce the deficit because of revenue and savings outweigh the spending i spoke to Speaker Nancy Pelosi as she was walking off the house floor. She believes this democratic trifecta has had a number of accomplishments but she said this stands out. It was a source of joy, and as you point out, republicans have blasted the bill saying it will not fix inflation. They call it a reckless spending spree, and they have zeroed in on the fact that the irs will be able to hire a lot more employees. They argue it would mean more audits for ordinary americans. Democrats say thats a bunch of nonsense they say it will simply mean faster refunds and more Customer Care for ordinary americans. The only people who neme to worry are sophisticated tax cheats this is headed to President Bidens desk any time now. If this is it between now and november 8th, does it move the needle for voters . Thats certainly the hope of democrats. Theyre going to be aggressively running on certain things in here most notably, the drug prices provisions medicare negotiating prices with the pharmaceutical industry. Thats very popular among swing voters, older voters, especially older women 50 and up who tend to float between the two parties. Democrats are eager for a win that can turn out their core base, progressive voters, Younger Voters who tend to sleep through midterm elections. They believe the Climate Change provision, the largest investment in American History to combat Global Warming could motivate voters to show up democrats see a lot to run on, but republicans are going to be making the counterargument, and the real question between now and november just a few months away is who do voters believe. Always about the turnout. Sahil kapur, appreciate you tonight. Thank you.

Cheap clothing that Companies Make quickly to take advantage of new trends. Activists say its bad for the planet, and turns out the same is true for fast furniture as part of our continuing series on clean startups, our senior climate correspondent diana olick spoke with the ceo at one company trying to build a better model. We dont often think about fast furniture because people usually hold on to it longer than clothing, but younger generations are now more mobile, more conscious of environmental waste, and more are demanding new options. Enter this Los Angeles Based startup, furnish, spelled like the plant. After walking by, many, many, i would say Nuclear Bombs worth of furniture on a side of the streets in urban metros where i lived or some of our other employee lived, we came up with the idea of reuse, refurbing, and recycle. In other words, rent. Furnish is a Furniture Rental company that allows consumers to either return the furniture when theyre finished or rent to own. While rental furniture is nothing new, its often used by consumers who cant afford to buy. They target a different demographic.

I really, really value the sustainability that furnish has and i also want to have something that felt like a forever piece, but as a 25yearold, i dont know where im going to be next, where im going to move to julia is a social media influencer, so she made a deal with furnish to promote the 18 pieces she rents rather than pay. If she did pay, the bill would be about 900 a month. Furnishs backers include zillow cofounder spencer rascoff, former Amazon Consumer cofounder, intuit cofounder scott cook, as well as techstars and ret ventures total funding so far, 75 million. The Furniture Industry generates about 10 million tons of waste each year that ends up in u. S. Landfills. Thats according to the epa. Part of it is because furniture is really hard to recycle. If renting were to become both more attractive and more mainstream, that could be a game changer.
