charges for his handling of classified documents. he has called this indictment baseless, ridiculous and election interference. he s accused of illegally retaining classifiedshowin information and then showing classified defense informationg to people who did not have security clearances. and also als obstructinge th the government s efforts to retrieve those documents. but take a looos k at this, brian. he got quite a positive reaction as he was headed out of at th miami today. you mentioned it at the top of the show. he stoppedd th in a cafe and thm crowd inside serenaded hime hour with the happy birthday song, as we are now just hours awas y. from the former president s 77th birthday. but righ but right now we re waiting for him to take the podium behind me. d to raihe s expected to raise c million for his campaign at the fund raiser, whicht about will begin after his remarks, which we re expecting will lastd about 30 minutes. hey, nate, the president was ordered not to discuss the
it s tragic. and he should be held accountable like president trump is. hillary clinton should also be held accountable just like president biden should be. just like they are doing to president trump. carley: so you are talking about really the two tiered system of justice which is evident especially when it comes to hillary clinton s emails. a political argument not a defense. do you think president trump should be nervous about this indictment? i don t think president trump ever gets nervous, to tell you the truth. i hate to say let the system play it out because the system itself is corrupt, but i think with the support of the country that he has, i think he is in a good spot. carley: well, it is his birthday today. is it really? carley: 77th birthday. happy birthday. will it s my wife s birthday. carley: yesterday. you can come on in. your two beautiful sons are here as well. a whole family affair. this is your first year in congress. so this is your first year on th
these defections already from some of these donors and the worry is that if these indictments continue to mount they could see more of that, but i should also point out that donald trump s team maintains that he still get his best fund-raising from the small dollar donor, the same thing that we saw when he was president and that they do expect him to bring in a lot of money and want just from that event last night, but in the days immediately after following the announcement of that indictment, sara. we should also mention that yesterday, it turns out, today is donald trump s 77th birthday, as well. i understand that you have learned he was not in the mood to celebrate. appreciate you from bridgewater, new jersey. john? legally speaking, what is next for the indicted former president who did sit through the 50-minute session yesterday. cnn katelyn polantz watched it all from inside the courtroom and joins us now. so we know what he can and can t
