legends, whose greatness will stand the test of time. these two great ladies take us off the air tonight. on that extraordinary note, i wish all of you a very good night. from all of our colleagues across the networks of nbc news, thanks for staying up late with, us i will see you at the end of tomorrow. tonight on all in. if there is a prosecution of donald trump on this classified information after the clinton debacle there will be riots in the streets. trump defenders use the january six playbook to manage the doj. we have seen these maga extreme republicans making these kind of comments, which is dangerous. tonight, as the reviewed evidence from mar-a-lago continues, the white house announces a primetime address on the threat to democracy. plus, while trump s attempt to slow down the investigation may be too late. plus is there more coming for the theft of ashley biden s diary? and allegations on a texas podcast that could be on to something when it comes to stude
does best is leaking and lying and trying to clean it all up. the bureau told newsweek they had under covers inside mar-a-lago. the fbi had a mole at mar-a-lago. newsweek says, quote: the raid on mar-a-lago was based largely on information from an fbi confidential human source one who was able to identify what classified documents former president trump was still hiding and even the location of those documents. so the fbi had a mole and the trump campaign had moles in the trump administration and now they have a mole in mar-a-lago. the guy who is running the fbi field office in d.c. is the same guy who had moles in the gretchen whitmer fake kidnapping are not r. plot. and you wonder why the fbi can t stop a single mass shooting. can t protect supreme court justices. can t stop chinese supplies from sleeping with eric swalwell. can t sniff out chinese spies driving dianne feinstein around can t stop chinese from stealing our secrets and hacking our pipeline. can t stop eps
followers online, you can see there. and this is not just anybody talking, it is a trump ally, lawyer, and top republican on the senate judiciary committee, so he knows better than to just blithely talk up warn of violence and crime as retaliation of whatever happens in the criminal justice system, which no one knows what will happen. senator graham going further than most republican senators. lately many have been trying to duck attention over trump s secret document scandal. but what is different about graham? well, senator lindsey graham is also a witness and a potential participant in donald trump s 2020 election plot, which remains in criminal investigation in georgia. graham trying to fight lawful orders to testify there, so he has at a minimum a conflict. now, graham carefully avoided linking his own legal pressure in georgia to this new apparent warning or threat. instead he argued the double standard about secret documents, which is the federal case, not the georgi
good friday evening to you. jim sciutto here sitting in for anderson. tonight making sense of the unprecedented look we ve just gotten into what until now was almost unimaginable, the criminal investigation of a former president. it follows the equally unprecedented court-approved search of a former president s home. today under orders from the same federal judge who approved that search warrant, the justice department released the affidavit backing the warrant. the document laying out the government s case that a search could yield evidence of a crime or even multiple crimes. it is heavily redacted to protect sources, potential witnesses, as well as the ongoing investigation of not just the president but also, quoting the document now, all potential criminal confederates. that said, there is much it does reveal, starting with what investigators believe they would find beyond the 15 boxes that were returned to the government in january. quoting again, there is probable cause
cnn s natasha bertrand joins me now. the director of national intelligence is taking this very seriously. she is and rightfully so, right, because of all the sensitive information we believe was in these documents and we re learning that the director of national intelligence, avril haines has written a letter to the oversight and house intelligence committees telling them that she has begun a classification review and a review of the risk to national security that these kind of loose documents could pose. now, clearly this is kind of an escalation here. we weren t sure whether the intelligence community would be able to see the documents that had been retrieved from mar-a-lago because they are part of an active criminal investigation, and the fbi typically holds very closely any evidence in those probes. but obviously the risk here, the potential risk to national security contained in these documents is just too great for the intel community to not be made aware of what s p
