trump lawyer jim trusty described the battle over whether the documents were kept as comparable to a dispute over to an overdue lie b. the judge indicating if she appoints a special master, she may still allow the intelligence community to review the seized documents as part of a damage assessment. prosecutors, meantime, arguing the special master was unnecessary and saying trump s team has offered no evidence there was any disregard for the former president s rights. as the judge asks, what s the harm in appointing a special master. beyond the courtroom, trump it s not like this was some sinister plot. reporter: insisting whatever happened at mar-a-lago was the result of hastily packing up to leave the white house. you accumulate a lot of stuff over a term and all of a sudden you re leaving and stuff gets packed up and sent. reporter: trump s team down played the documents found in his home and club, without denying they were classified. saying, simply put, the n
the last thing that concerns me about what we could see, they have the comingling of pro-trump and anti-trump protesters. it takes one or two rabble-rousers for things to set off. i would just say that new york this could be different than when alvin bragg brought the charges, there were not any major disruptions around that. sara, what are you looking at today? we have heard from the same rabble-rousers, mike lindell is out there talking about what trump is going to do. steve bannon. these are literally all people you still talking to on the phone in your reporting. you should note that. they keep reappearing over and over again. i do think there are more worries after having seen what happened in the wake of january 6th after seeing some of these lengthy prison sentences. we ve heard a couple of these folks mention that you need to be protesting. you need to show up and support donald trump, but you need to do it peacefully. again, i think the x factor here is, you know, fl

a bunch of other. stuff the access hollywood tape. two impeachments. he survived. even his comingling of his business, when he was in what the white house. so we shouldn t be surprised that he is sort of saying yes, maybe i did it, i can, and the president, so what? but this is the first time, stephanie sorry about that, john this is the first time stephanie were going to see a federal jury pastureland on whether or not the things that he has done not crimes. he can say from a podium anytime he wants but he get away with things. but now we re gonna see a prosecution. i don t know how long it s gonna take or whether it will be before the election or not, but he is going to face a jury of his peers at some point, it appears. and they will pass judgment on whether he s allowed to get away with holding on to some of the united states s most guarded secret. which is why jack smith suggested that people print this out and read it online,
