they got him. and got more including the deadline from the review well past. today having gotten what they wanted they were called onto do something they ve notably not done in any court filing or proceedings so far, namely back up what their clients and allies are suggesting saying these documents were declassified. for the government s part today they signaled their willingness to take this all the way to the supreme court. jessica schneider starts us off and joins us now. let s talk about what the trump legal team told the special master. yeah, well what s interesting is their response to that ultimatum from the special master where he said he might have no choice but to accept the government s claims that 100 of those documents are classified, if trump s team doesn t step windup the proof that the former president declassified them. and that s really something that trump s legal team has resisted repeatedly asserting both in person in court and in legal filings. so, you
response to that ultimatum from the special master. when he said he might have no choice but to accept the government s claims that 100 of those documents are classified, if trump s team doesn t step up with the proof that the former president declassified them. and that s really something that trump s legal team has resisted repeatedly asserting both in person and in court and in legal filings. so we saw a filing last night and they said that they might have to save any evidence of declassification to use it as a defense if trump is indicted, and then today in court, trump s attorney jim trusty, he said that the legal team, they haven t seen the documents yet so they can t fully address the declassification issue. so really, they are dodging this question at every turn and really anderson, they have gotten themselves into someone of thorny situation here. the special master is saying he needs proof or else he will believe of the government. in a separate related but in it
good evening once again, i am stephanie ruhle. 179 days until the midterm elections. and tonight, the january 6th committee is under pressure to figure out its next move. given the very real likelihood none of the five subpoenaed republican lawmakers will comply. earlier today, one committee member suggested it is not over yet. we have all of the options that would be available to us for someone like steve bannon, or mark meadows, and then additional options because there are members of congress. of course, bannon and meadows were held in contempt, bannon now facing criminal charges for stonewalling the investigation. as the committee waits to hear from the gop house members. politico issued this report, another subpoena has gone out to a former aide to mark meadows. cassidy hutchinson, worked with meadows during trump s final days in the white house. she has already had two conversations with the committee. and the panel now wants a third. there is no question that hut
