a criminal investigation? then, a surprise republican senate seat suddenly in trouble. mike please independent shawn who joins me live. plus, senator bernie sanders on why he says control of congress will come down to an economic message. and rebecca traced her on the campaign trail recovery of john fetterman, and a tv doctorate attacking him for his health. after having that stroke, i really understand, you know, much more of the challenges that americans have day in a day out. all in starts now. good evening from washington, d. c. i am mehdi hasan in for chris hayes. whatever you think of the ex president and his brazen lies and his ludicrous lawyers and his alleged crimes, donald trump s strategy is kind of working. look, it s undeniably the case that he improperly took extremely classified documents it s that them at his florida home / resort. those documents reportedly even included nuclear secrets. some of the most closely guarded information the u.s. government
he will just consider the evidence only. i actually think he won t let himself also easily. he ll consider everything, including the politics that i think that factor has now begun to weigh strongly in favor of indictment. because trump has been so brazen in the overall effect of not indicting would be such disrespect for the rule of law. that would be my best guess. asha, a lot of liberals are sharing franklin s piece. but it was bullish which didn t go anywhere. legally i m reminded of that since deleted tweet the, goes i d like to see all donny trump wiggle is way out of this jam. trump wiggles his weight of the jam easily. all well, nevertheless. what do you make of the kind of optimism of some that trump s gonna get indicted, that he is going to be held
