Courtroom in washington just steps from the capital where his supporters rioted on january 6th. The former president facing his third arraignment charged with a criminal scheme to stay in power after his loss. Special counsel jack smith just feet away from him in the courtroom before leaving washington. Mr. Trump, who is running to retake the white house in 2024 coming before the cameras, calling it a very sad day for america. Our team at the courthouse and our legal analyst standing by. Also tonight, two u. S. Navy sailors under arrest, accused of spying for china. The secret theyre accused of selling. The Grim Discovery. Two bodies in the rio grande. One at that floating Barrier Texas installed in the river. What texas and mexican officials are saying. Terrifying moments aboard a delta flight. Police say a passenger with a sharp object cut himself and then attacked a Flight Attendant. How he was stopped. The new development in the gilgo beach serial killer investigation. What prosecu
What do they want to hear . Or is it potentially that they just want to be the ones to hear it. The lead on writing a definitive ruling on something as foundational as whether this president , any president , is above the law. But you cant separate that motivation from the timing. Why did it take so long for the justices to decide to hear it . And why will it take so long for them to actually hear it. The court has worked faster before, including on Hearing Arguments regarding the colorado ballot. Again, the timing here matters. Not just for this case, which is now unlikely to be tried before election day, but Donald Trumps other cases as well. The classified documents at maralago, maybe even georgia, if that case ever even gets off the ground. Or the arguments regarding the colorado decision to remove trump from the ballot. Theres so much to consider. The motivation, the political effect on november, and the future of the court itself. How much public trust can it stand to lose before
This acutely. They understand the catastrophe at the border is affecting everyone, and it is top of mind for all the American People for that reason. Again, the First Priority of the country is our border and making sure its secure. I believe the president can take Executive Authority right now today to change that, and ive told him that again today in person as ive said to him many times publicly and privately over the last several weeks. Its time for action. So that was Speaker Mike Johnson yesterday following an Oval Office Meeting with the president and other congressional leaders. But in reality it is johnson, hes the one standing in the way of action on the border by blocking a bipartisan deal passed by the senate. Well bring you more about that meeting including the pressure on the speaker to avoid the looming Government Shutdown. Plus, well go through the primary results out of michigan and look ahead to Super Tuesday which is just around the corner and the latest on ceasefire
January 6th, and the capital plaza, where rioters stormed the barricade to stop the peaceful transition of power. The court room that trump was in todays the very same room where numerous january 6th cases have been heard. The judge overseeing trumps arraignment has also overseen the cases of people including dominick box, a Qanon Activist Who Livestreamed the storming of the capital and jarred wise, a former fbi agent whos charged with assaulting a Police Officer on january 6th. So this was all very much a Trip Down Memory Lane for mr. Trump. Now that were no Courtroom Cameras today. But thanks to Courtroom Sketch bill hennessy, we know what it looked like when a former president of the United States appear in court to be formally and federally charged for trying to subvert american democracy. It was more than 110 people in the courtroom to hear this arraignment, including several of the federal judges who have been presiding over other january 6th cases. Judges who showed up today in
Against donald trump and get rid of this nightmare . Dude, ive been preaching it for the last six or eight months. I dont know why the party doesnt corral around one of these individuals on the stage to just say, this is the horse thats going to ride us to a brave new world. And they just cant. Because that base, small though it is, hes outsized in the money it produces, and the power it wields. And that, even in a parliamentary system, can overwhelm the system sometimes. Yeah, i was going to say, just look what happened to will hurd. As you said, booed there just for speaking truth to power. On a personal note, michael, i just want to say that its the first time ive seen you in person. Thank you so much for filling in for me a couple of weeks ago, i really appreciate it. The time off i owe you one, my friend. No pleasure, no pleasure. That just took a cold brew youve got it. Next time i see a pint consider it done. Good evening and welcome to ayman. The case against donald trump for t
