january 6th. we know today that the clock is ticking for the former president and his legal team. they have one week to produce evidence to back up donald trump s repeated attacks on the fbi, including allegations that agents planted records at his mar-a-lago home. he said it again this week. the problem that you have is they go into rooms, they won t let them in the same building. did they drop anything into those files or did they do it later. there s no chain of custody with them. but now special master raymond deer ri ordered lawyers late thursday, he did this just last night torks account for in court those unsubstantited claims that trump of keeps making on tv. and that s not all the judge is asking for. he also wants trump s attorneys to say whether they think the fbi was mistaken about what evidence was taken or where it was found. tz and he s giving them one last chance to say whether they want to claim the fbi took anything that s not on the list. if they don t,

He boarded air force one, and cnn learned that the union is going to gift the president , as you can see him on force and the uaw polo will be worn by him. Former President Donald Trump will be speaking tomorrow night, instead of attending the republican debate. Arlette saenz is traveling with president , and Vanessa Yurkevich is on the picket line.

comment. he was trying to distance himself from the special counsel investigation into trump s handling of classified doc documents. i guess we won t expect biden to stay on this issue until the very end. we certainly saw it yesterday when booid was in north carolina. really carrying on his schedule. business as usual in a trip that was focused on both jobs and military families. and i think we ll see him adopt that strategy, which is basically to say nothing for quite some time. it s there for two reasons. the president wants to project an ere of calm amongst his pred december sort. and secondly, president biden has talked about the fact they don t want to add any fuel pruch s claim. by president biden s justice department. so president biden has been
