reportedly involved federal agents spending most of the day at mar-a-lago was related to classified information that trump took with him when he departed the white house in january of 2021. an attorney for the former guy told nbc news that trump and his team had been, quote, cooperative with fbi and doj officials every step of the way, unquote, but then added that the bureau, quote, did conduct an unannounced raid and seized paper. the new york times reports that it wasn t the first time that agents visited trump s south florida estate. quote, the search came after an earlier visit this spring to mar-a-lago by federal agents including a justice department counterintelligence official to discuss materials that mr. trump had improperly taken with him when he left the white house. mr. trump was briefly present for that earlier visit as was at least one of his lawyers according to people familiar with the situation. both the fbi and the justice department have declined to comme
a gas station in l.a. paul, how are people reacting to these very high gas prices in california? reporter: they re reacting with shock and they re in agony. if you look behind me, this gas station is considered a discount at $6.09 a gallon. as you articulated, here in california the average now, $6.42. what drives all of this, california has an extremely high gas tax at 51 cents per gallon. these taxes used to improve roads and infrastructure and whatnot. for these vendors we re talking to today, they re absolutely getting jackhammered by these prices. a family rental business, party rental business, busy time of the year, weddings, graduations, father s day around the corner, what takerhey re doing now is o filling up a partial tank at a time. it went up a dollar in a week. we only filled a quarter tank and it will probably last us maybe for the rest of the day. if not, we ll have to fill up later on today again, another 60. reporter: so if you do the math, that s abou
calling for war. there was a state rep in florida, sabitini saying fbi agents should be arrested, calling for nullification. the rhetoric has been notched up to 11 on this by even the more mainstream republicans without even knowing what was in the court-issued warrant. we don t even have the details yet, and these guys are all stoking civil war-esque rhetoric. it s not surprising that these cowardly republicans who have submitted themselves to trump at every step along the way did it again. i have to say it s a little noteworthy just how radical the rhetoric is, you know, even from the mccarthys and rubios of the world and i think at a time where, you know, they re making really the same mistakes that they were making in the lead up to january 6th. you know, there was no political harm or no harm to the body
kats in general that no judge wants to give a warrant if there s some other way for it to be worked out through a cooperative negotiation with the parties. this seems like the judge here, especially in the case of the former president would have needed to be convinced that the time for talk was over, no? yes and no. first, the judge would not get involved in that decision, the one about whether this could get worked out or not. the judge s sole role is for him or her to decide whether there s probable cause of a crime and probable cause that the evidence would be at that location. there s no question that what you re saying is true with respect to the department of justice because normally the way that you get information is either through a voluntary request or through a subpoena, and when you proceed by search warrant, what you re really saying is i don t trust the person who i could subpoena to actually comply with that subpoena, and i think the missing piece for all of this is
yes. so, that s what this is about, and all the far-right can scream and holler, but you know what they re not doing? they re not telling their viewers, their listeners how the law works and how a magistrate s involved and how many layers of approval need to happen here. and what the law is. and you know what else we re not hearing from trump and his camp is, hey, i had no classified documents at mar-a-lago. i had nothing here. we re not hearing that. that s important. maya, i actually pick up on that just because one of the things that kind of came through in one of the earlier discussions with andrew weissmann was this notion that you would normally do one of two things. you d either get these documents through a negotiation or you d subpoena the documents, so in order to go and ask for the for a search warrant, you have to be convinced that the subpoena, if issued, would not be complied with, and it raises all kinds of questions, given that trump and the trump people have behave
