investigators, there were more classified documents beyond what trump turned over to the national archives earlier this year. let s bring in former federal prosecutor michael zeldin. what is your reaction to the reports of an informant here that there was a meeting at mar-a-lago in june, after that meeting someone informed law enforcement that there were more documents that were unsecured? is this a possibility that this informant is from trump s orbit? well, it would make sense that somebody within the trump world, within the mar-a-lago complex, had knowledge of the existence of additional boxes, 12 as we learned, and they decided that it was important to honor the obligations of law enforcement and let them know where these things were and so it went. with all the people coming in and out of mar-a-lago, i mean, you can see why investigators would be concerned if there were documents that would pertain to national security for example. and we know that investigators had

halfway through his second year, president biden still has a long to-do list with pressure mounting to act on the climate crisis and turn around the economy. can the biden administration keep its promises? i ll speak exclusively to biden cabinet secretary pete buttigieg in moments. hello. i m jake tapper in washington where the state of our union is wondering whether some people really are above the law? this week the january 6th committee presented a seasoned finale of sorts to the series of eight hearings they ve held this summer. the committee laid out minute by minute how former president trump sat and watched as rioters stormed the capitol for more than three hours, refusing to call for the violence to end, refusing to reach out to law enforcement or military to send help. two of president trump s former president newspapers both owned by rupert murdock wrote damning editorials. in an astonishing reality, trump is taking very real action to run forment again, stumping
