but, you know,. i ll just say, i m luckier than perhaps some of your viewers, because i usually get to touch base with you at least once a day, even without twitter. there you have it. have a great show. have a great weekend. thank you, nicole. welcome to the beat. i am ari melber. this is one of those busy news fridays. we begin with the bombshell that s led trump s team to really be on alert or in damage control mode even though they have gotten some procedural steps, victories of sorts in this mar-a-lago case. now the news is, donald trump s team lied to the national archives long before they ever got his home searched. the washington post reports, the archives were actually told none of that material that remains a big issue in this criminal investigation was sensitive or classified at all, that trump had 12 boxes of news clippings. well, that s blatantly false. we know the fbi found hundreds of classified documents. we know this went way beyond news clippings.
