you watch that story, and if you know only in the vaguest terms, you go, oh, well, he went to jail for a campaign crime. did he go rogue? they didn t have it on him, versus his own problems. we have some of the lawyers that donald trump has been through. you see convicted, mcbegan spoke out. reservations have increased. that s more since friday. subpoena, that s the real bad one. it doesn t mean they all did something wrong. it means, again, in various proceedings, they were called upon the role you were supposed to play to being a witness. the little bit of sound with trump is true. attorney client privilege is a bedrock of anglo-saxon law, and i think law the world over in all sorts of traditions and codes. it s very clear, you know, trump obviously was a property jay of protege of roy.
do is to enforce all classification rules. we also need the best protection of classified information. every one of those statements is evidence. that is what smith and his team collected and put in the indictment. we pulled the sound because we have our news archives but each one of those statements is being used against the former president in a court of law. what you say whenever you said it can be held against you subject to the rules of evidence. then there s a written statement that then president trump issued in 2018. he warned that quote, former officials maintaining access to our nation s most sensitive secrets long after their time in government has ended and that such access is particularly inappropriate when officials have transferred into highly partisan positions. the nation s secrets should be in furtherance of national and not personal interests. again, that is the words of
donald trump, then as president, being used against him for exactly explaining the potential harm, damage and inappropriateness to use his term of what he now stands accused of doing. trump also signed in 2018 the foreign intelligence surveillance act amendments, which increased the penalty for the unauthorized removal and retention of classified documents and/or material. she s facing charges which lead to the same conduct, taking and misusing that type of material but under an even older law, the espionage act. what we see here is your words can be held against you in a court of law. that s an update on what we learned in the indictment. coming up, donald trump could face many years in prison if convicted. he also could walk free. anything can happen. we re covering all aspects of this trial. we re going to get into why those lengthy prison sentences that are possible under this law are causing so much fear in trump world. but first, exactly what
people are thinking about what it means forthis trump appointee who has been rebuked by the 11th circuit for her law free judgment earlier in this case about the nature of those documents and whether or not they could be disclosed in certain ways. so there s a lot more that could happen here, but yes, this was a very damming indictment, very well done. we ll see what happens going forward. on the two altitudes you mentioned, the public is getting all the information we re sifting through. the jury must only under the rules look at the admissible evidence in the proceeding, and that can be structured in a way that has a great impact, right, so you re saying if for example, damming material is removed for whatever reason, and sometimes there are good reasons for that, i m over on time, but ankush do you have a feeling about mock trials? i always thought they were fun. i share the professor s view. if we re going to have a trial,
criminal lawyer, the kind of lawyers we now see under scrutiny because of their clients. another person who knows his way around law famously said, this ain t really for you, this is for the goya, montoya, i couldn t stop, that afforded me all the lawyers. trump desperately trying to hire more lawyers now. whether he can afford any of his ex-lawyers telling the truth about what he did is the threat hanging over this case now. and we are going to get into all of this right now with all in host and our colleague chris hayes who s here, and we re back together in just 60 seconds. e bk togethern ijust 60 seconds. allergies don t have to be scary.
