Effective, and it is not safe. Thank you very much. That is all in on the thursday night. Alex wagner tonight starts right now. Good evening, alex. Thanks to athome for joining me this hour. This evening, weve got some fairly shocking news. President trump is asking the court to schedule one of his federal criminal trials before the november election, specifically, trump is requesting that maralago classify its documents case to begin on august 12th. That is correct. Donald trump asked for that trial to start just three months before the president ial election. Except, that request may not exactly be what it sounds like. It could very well be a game of 3d chess. It does not sound like something trump placed on that often, but play with me here. Trump pitching that august date could be a way of trying to block the other federal criminal case, the Special Counsels much more serious a federal Election Interference case from going to trial before the election. Yesterday we got that massive
B is august. He has made an immunity argument, the same argument that is made in d. C. One minor difference. He wasnt president. His argument is, but i took the documents while i was president. I have said, that is like a bank robber saying you know, i legally got the gun that i used to rob the bank. Right. I was a customer of the bank when they went in and took the money. Everything is just such an irrelevancy. But hes got judge cannon and so the question is whether judge cannon will sit on that, whether she will grant it, or if she denies it and says but its not a frivolous argument, meaning all of these delays of appeal that we have seen in the d. C. Case, don trump is going to try that, of course. Same road. Back to the Supreme Court. Its much harder factual argument. But, thats not the issue. Just remember, we were all sitting here going, hes arguing that he can order s. E. A. L. Team six to kill a political important opponent and were going as absolutely laughable laughable. A no
Classified documents case to begin on august 12th. That is correct. Donald trump asked for that trial to start just three months before the president ial election. Except, that request may not exactly be what it sounds like. It could very well be a game of 3d chess. It does not sound like something trump placed on that often, but play with me here. Trump pitching that august date could be a way of trying to block the other federal criminal case, the Special Counsels much more serious a federal Election Interference case from going to trial before the election. Yesterday we got that massive news, the Supreme Court has agreed to hear trumps argument, that those criminal trials in the d. C. Case should be thrown out because a president ial immunity. But the court did not schedule oral arguments on that case to start until the week of april 20 seconds.

before the first 2024 faceoff, and the candidates are taking very different approaches before the gloves come off. president biden is hunkered down in camp david preparing while former president donald trump is campaigning. and as trump is gaining momentum with donors, a new fox poll shows biden s building support with voters who say that immigration and the economy are still among their top deciding factors. so who s got the edge heading into next week? welcome, everyone, i m jack a key deangelis in for neil cavuto, this is cavuto live. we begin in the battleground state of pennsylvania where donald trump is holding a rally tonight. alexis mcadd a also is in philadelphia with the latest for us. hi, alexis. reporter: hey, jackie. as you said, two different approaches. we have president biden out in camp david really preparing for that debate as it grows closer here. in just a matter of days, or he ll be on that stage as former president donald trump is going to be at a te
preferred the old rules. how about an effort to include a couple of voices who don t think he s taking us all to hell? i m howard kurtz, and this is mediabuzz . howard: much of the media treat it as huge, breaking news when the supreme court ruled unanimously that donald trump must turn over his tax returns to a house committee controlled by the democrats for a few more weeks. another legal setback for the former president? an appeals panel made clear it will overturn the installation of a special master by a trump-appointed judge in florida which had been slowing down the justice department probe of classified documents. the panel saying judge iowa lean cannon shouldn t have even been involved in the case. donald trump had a very bad day in the united states supreme court at the very same hour when he was having a very bad day in a federal appeals court. it s significant because he s
