security officials are kept in the dark about them. only the president, some members of his cabinet, or a near cabinet level official, could authorize other government officials to no details of these special access programs. now trump s fellow republicans, who had already stuck their neck out for him, without knowing all the facts, always dangerous were left exposed. and struggling to explain why it was, actually find that the ex president kept nuclear documents in the basement of services florida country club. it depends on what the nuclear information is. you can say nuclear weapons. but there are things that are highly, highly classified. there are things that are not extremely classified. but our, nonetheless, classified. the other aspect, with respect to access, is we do not know what those documents are. so, the washington post, had previously reported last month that investigators were looking for information related to nuclear programs in the certain mar-a-la
mar-a-lago, an excuse which he seems to have dropped in recent weeks. now at least according to the washington post, we know it was not a hoax. and even with a month to repair, republicans are still struggling to respond to these latest allegations. do you think it is appropriate, the way that the former president was storing those top secret documents at his residence in mar-a-lago? i don t really have any comments on this whole investigation that has been dominating the news for the last month. i think we are following it like all of you are. documents at mr. a leader, that s important. do you have any comment on that? just sitting here, following all with you. i m mitch mcconnell, i m basically just a dude. the revelations come at a pivotal moment for the investigation into the store documents. this, weekend widely criticized and widely ridiculed ruling, a trump appointed federal judge in florida went over backwards to accommodate trumps late request for a so-cal
traffic stop. an investigation is under way into why two oakland tennessee police officers chased brandon callaway into his own home, after he allegedly ran a stop sign. the officers beat him bloody with a baton and tased him, and all of this caught on cell phone video obtained by cnn from callaway s girlfriend. and we do want to warn you, what you re about to watch is disturbing. stop, stop! stop hitting him. stop. stop it. stop it. stop it. stop. stop. stop. stop it why are you hitting him? he has no weapon? he has no weapon, sir. there s no weapon. you re being aggressive. i have all of this on video. i need to report you. don t put your hands on me. do not put your hands on me. i need to call my mom. i need to call his mom. stop. stop. stop resisting. stop resisting. stop. stop. get on the ground. get on the ground. all right, cnn naddo romero is here now and you spoke with brandon callaway about what happen. what did he say? this is such a hard time for him because
not an unclear part of the constitution, it s just gonna be, you know, a ton of litigation in federal courts and state courts. it s gonna but the federal courts and state courts on a collision path. they see this as unnecessary. also, just not the way we normally think about state legislators. that they are creatures of the state constitution. the state constitution creates them, and limits them. this is this idea that they kind of have a free-flowing entity that exists on its own, that have limitless power. the chief justices, although they filed the brief on behalf of another party, it is very clear that they are not supporting the theory that the north carolina legislators have put forward here. finally, you know, there was an earlier case in which this was raised in some of the postelection litigation in which three justices, i believe it was alito, thomas, and gorsuch. they indicated some interest in this. how do you see the relativity of this court? so, the three of them
all unanimously filing amicus brief saying, this is nonsense, absolutely don t do this. right? right, so this is a conference of two justices. they don t fall a lot of briefs. this is approved by a committee of chief justices from, i think, all from red states. and they see this as just completely un-workable. because if what the court is gonna say is, well, you can apply, you know, a clear part of the state constitution but not an unclear part of the constitution, it s just gonna be, you know, a ton of litigation in federal courts and state courts. it s gonna but the federal courts and state courts on a collision path. they see this as unnecessary. also, just not the way we normally think about state legislators. that they are creatures of the state constitution. the state constitution creates them, and limits them. this is this idea that they kind of have a free-flowing entity that exists on its own, that have limitless power. the chief justices, although they filed the brief on be
