facing multiple ongoing investigations, in multiple jurisdictions about a multitude of alleged wrongdoings. and, the picture emerging out of those many other investigations is that of someone who inflates the true value of his wealth, his power, even the square footage of his properties. in order to inflate his own ego. at the expense of banks, the government, and the american people. the shull as we unravel trump s big lie, or the coup, the committee will hold its next one final public hearing final in the air. they have also announced it will interview ginni thomas, the wife of the supreme court justice clarence thomas implicated in the effort to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election, and although trump has continued to spread debunked claims of election fraud or the january 6th insurrection, the new york times is reporting that his lawyers are working behind the scenes, to limit the scope of a federal grand jury probe, as well as to limit what the former
i am ali velshi. we know more this weekend than ever before about the fbi. and the search of the mar-a-lago estate. new details just released to the public, the possibility of criminal prosecution of the twice impeached ex president s so plausible, now, that some federal prosecutors are actually seeing it out loud. less than 24 hours ago we got our first look at the affidavit used by the fbi to convince a federal judge to greenlight the mar-a-lago search. the document is heavily redacted to protect the safety of civilian witnesses and law enforcement officers, but there is plenty to see and hear. including this line. quote, there is probable cause to believe that evidence of obstruction will be found at the premises. the affidavit directly contradicts his claim that he was already cooperating with the government. it makes it clear the lengths the government went to before pursuing action to recover the material. outlining how the former president the affidavit paints the pi
legislation after another series of deadly mass shootings of force the issue back to the top of its agenda. on wednesday, family and survivors from the racially motivated attack at a supermarket in buffalo, new york, as well as the robb elementary shooting in uvalde, texas, will participate in a hearing held by the committee on oversight and reform. among the speakers will be maya surrey oh, a robb elementary fourth grader who was trapped in one of the adjoining classrooms of the gunman attacked. she told cnn that she covered herself in her classmates blood and play dead for an hour until law enforcement finally brought an end to the attack. now, she will tell her story to the entire country. think about this for just a second, think about the trauma that has been inflicted on school children because of our inaction. think about how much we ve been active asking of young people across this country as the united states senate has continued to stall on passing any kind of legis

word. tomorrow, we are doing something a little different on the velshi banned book club. we are featuring a work of writing that is arguably the most weaponized in our nation s history. a work of writing that has been challenged for removal, not by florida or texas, or moms for liberty, but by a former president of the united states. a work of writing that has been quoted in almost as regularly misquoted for generations. tomorrow, we are talking about the constitution of the united states of america. i ll be joined by two all-star constitutional scholars to help me dig into the sacred document. jeffrey rosen, the president of the national constitution center. and akhil amar, professor of law and political science at yale university, and host of the americas constitution podcast. and we ve had such a great reaction to the velshi banned book club, that we re making it a podcast ourselves. each week, i ll be joined by the author of a band book. authors like margaret atwood,
