the washington post could explain the fbi s sense of urgency to do this search. the post reports that federal agents were looking for classified documents related to nuclear weapons. cnn hasn t independently confirmed that. this is a fast-moving story. we re covering it all. let s go first to cnn s katelyn polantz with more on this deadline. trump said release the documents, and i m quoting there. this was after the attorney general said, and i m paraphrasing now, tell the judge you want them released and they can be. so what is trump s team waiting for? that is a great question. we too are waiting to see what is going on, clearly everybody is in a wait-and-see position right now. we re keeping an eye on the court record to see exactly what formal position donald trump and his team will take in court. it very well could be different from what he s saying on social media. but we re also watching the time here. there is a deadline set by the judge of 3:00. that is the time that the

subvert an election. that is what apparently played out during the 2020 presidential race that is according to communications exclusively obtained by cnn. now, they include texts between the former president s son, don jr., and white house chief of staff mark meadows. as ryan nobles reports, the texting began before the vote was fully counted. reporter: november 5th, 2020, two days after the 2020 election. votes were still being counted. the final outcome, still in doubt. but president trump s son, don jr., was already passing on ideas for overturning the election if necessary to ensure a second term for his father. it is very simple, trump jr. texted before outlining several options. we have operational control. total leverage. trump jr. was texting white house chief of staff mark meadows. this text reviewed by cnn hasn t been revealed publicly before. it is in the possession of the january 6th select committee. in a statement to cnn, trump jr. s lawyer says, quote, after
