case only, to admit the other person. what you do in a case like this, you will hire someone called local council. someone who just knows the turf there, who can speak to the jury in the type of language that they re used to hearing. so it will be really interesting to see is he going to base the defense out of new york lawyers like he usually does, is he going to team them up with local lawyers, but he needs the local input. one of the most damning parts of the indictment were the notes and testimony from trump s own lawyer, but now that these charges in florida and not d.c., can trump s team try to get that testimony since it has to do with conspiracy thrown out? reporter: well, i think we can expect they will try, jake. i m told that one of their strategies going forward is they are going to argue that the special counsel tried to litigate a lot of these questions about attorney general
there. federal election campaign laws might attached to the state charge. congress has an interest in that. this stemmed from the moeller probe. congress has an interest in that. 14th amendment clearly gives congress power in the event that you violated trump s rights. alvin bragg, must feel hot in his office, because his case is unraveling. look, you didn t waive attorney general privilege. here s a letter that said you did. last point here, here s what he said, neither the trump organization, nor the trump campaign, was a part to the transaction with ms. clifford, and neither reimbursed mr. cohen. once again, mr. cohen, the star witness, unraveling the case, good luck, alvin bragg. the way you laid it out is exactly right. congress does have a keen interest in what s going on there. the congress can pretty much
communications from trump, and were they, as you suggest, either unless corcoran decided to fall on his sword giving trump total deniability, possible, but man, you know, you don t find that that often. then trump s involved in this decision. trump told him something and it could be very strong evidence of obstruction. one quick point of process. the government just has to come forward with a little bit of a showing that there may be evidence of a crime and then the judge howell will decide whether more than likely or not, that s enough to pierce the exception. obviously that s less than the criminal threshold. this is exactly what happened in california with judge carter and the john eastman docks to find there s enough to pierce the attorney general privilege. not to sound like a nonlawyer who doesn t know what she s talking about. don t we have this evidence of obstruction in full view?
don t trust the government when federal prosecutors claim to have already scrubbed, seized documents and p put aside those involving attorney general privilege and executive privilege. now today in court christopher, the trump attorney said quote these are presidential records in the hands of the 45th president at a place which was used frequently for work during his presidency. this is not some dod meeting, department of defense staffer stuffing documents in a bag and sneaking off. a special master will give greater confidence in the process but judge, the department of justice believes it s quite simple federal prosecutors say the former president likely violated the espionage act and committed obstruction of justice. trump s team does not address the obstruction in its filing. so right now, judge, we are waiting for this federal judge, aileen cannon to make a decision. she said she is going to do it in a written order. if it does come, it s possible it may slow down the criminal inv
well, very few interest tied but few have been successful. most people in this space who have this resource, and that s a very important point i want to point out about privilege and access to the justice system. when you have the monetary resources to litigate to death then it s not difficult to see this out. the doj and the fbi have already indicated that they have gone through the documents, essentially merrick garland and the doj are playing chess. donald trump and his legal team, they are playing uno, and that s that s the only way i can explain it because at this point they have taken away every reason that they would need to have a special master, so by saying, look, we identified attorney general privilege, identified things that need to be returned to the national archives and identified material that s so sensitive and so private and so top secret in nature that it has to be returned to the actual government and cannot be in public purview, they have made the issue of a s
