return dozens of highly classified documents, this despite several requests over several months. the justice department also released its most visual piece of evidence and you re looking at it, that is a photo showing documents with the highest classification markings laid out there by the fbi, officials say those documents were recovered from a container that trump kept at his mar-a-lago home. since january, the u.s. government has recovered more than 320 classified documents from mar-a-lago. the justice department says three of those classified documents were not in boxes in that storage facility. they were actually found in former president trump s desk. so let s begin this morning with all of that news and this stunning filing from the doj, with our correspondent kara scannell. this is why doj needed 40 pages. they needed twice what the court said they could have because they had to apparently lay all of this out. yeah, good morning, jim and poppy. part of the objecti
today. first, here we go again. gas prices on the rise. the white house appears powerless to stop it. don t say we didn t warn you. i m bill hemmer. dana has the day off. big welcome back to sandra. sandra: couldn t think of a better way to start my tuesday with william hemmer. here we go. i m sandra smith, this is america s newsroom. enter the president s strategy of tapping the strategic oil reserves appears to be falling flat. we re watching gas prices up to $3.80 at the national average. if you live out west, that probably sounds like a steal. bill: california gets the worst, $6.41 a gallon ahead of an opec meeting tomorrow that could make prices higher. this hurts the poor people of california. california has the highest poverty rate in the nation. poor people in california are not the ones driving electric cars. they are in gas-powered gars and paying through the nose. this all started on day one of the administration when he ended america s energy independence.
sandra smith in new york. john, great to be with you. john: good to be with you, too. just when you thought it was safe to put your fingers back in your wallet, up go the prices again. this is america reports. dwindling supply along the west coast, and apparent causes for the uptick, ahead of a critical opec meeting, considering the largest cut in oil production in nearly three years. sandra: that big decision will be coming tomorrow. now five weeks to go to the midterm elections here at home, the biden administration has become quiet on the subject after repeatedly boasting how its actions led to falling prices this summer. john: fox team coverage to kick things off, charles payne is standing by, but first white house correspondent jacqui heinrich live on the north lawn. what is the treasury secretary now saying, jacqui, about what this could mean for inflation? nothing, john. even though administration officials have consistently pointed to soaring energy costs, d
