Good evening once again. I am stephanie ruhle. Donald j trump is already facing serious legal trouble on multiple fronts, but he may soon be fighting a whole new battle, as other criminal investigations move closer to the possible indictment phase. There are signs that special counsel jack smith and georgia Prosecutor Fani Willis could be closing in on charges relating to efforts to overturn the 2020 election. Today, trump posted this about smith, quote, i assume that an indictment will be coming out any day now. And while campaigning this weekend, he escalated his false claim, also known as a lie, and that any potential charges against him would be politically motivated. They waited two and a half, almost three years, so that they could bring them right in the middle of my president ial electio
Show up. Theyre underway. Good evening once again, im stephanie ruhle. Donald j trump is already facing serious legal trouble on multiple fronts. But he may soon be fighting a whole battle, other criminal investigations move closer to the possible indictment face. There are signs special counsel they could be closing in on charges related to efforts of the 2020 election. They posted this about smith. Quote, i assume an indictment will be coming out in the day now. And well campaigning this weekend, he estimated the false claim, also known as a lie that any potential charges against him we politically motivated. They waited two and a half almost three years its right the middle my president ial election. Its election interference. Its a great badge of honor. Because i am being indicted for you. Meanwhile, the classified Documents Case is moving forward. It is now been four days since that superseding indictment was filed. This morning they knows codefendant, the maralago Property Defend
point. why are you raising money like this? we thought you were worth ten billion dollars. you are supposed to be the modern midas, everything you touch turns to gold. and on the other hand, the low level employees in the mar-a-lago case, the documents case, which, remember, started out not so much as obstruction of justice as stealing national security documents and lying about the possession of them, these are not people who know where to find lawyers to represent them. they d end up, you know, probably opening up the yellow pages. so, if there is a public interest here, it s in people finding a way to get lawyers for these low level people, who it s unlikely to have any idea that they were committing crimes, they were doing what they boss wanted. his boss, he s not a supreme leader. we all have to be responsible
of justice as stealing national security documents and lying about the possession of them, these are not people who know where to find lawyers to represent them. they d end up, you know, probably opening up the yellow pages. so, if there is a public interest here, it s in people finding a way to get lawyers for these low level people, who it s unlikely to have any idea that they were committing crimes, they were doing what they boss wanted. his boss, he s not a supreme leader. we all have to be responsible for our own actions, or perhaps donald trump would say, yeah, i m so rich and i want to stay so rich, so i m going to ask all you people to open your wallets, and alas, his donors do. claire mccaskill, i adore you as always, great to see you, david cay johnston, thank you for being here. when we come back, we are talking trump s 2024 rivals tiptoeing around attacking the one person they have to defeat, donald trump. so, my question, why are you even running if you re not going for
