executed search warrant. should merrick garland be reminding the american people of that? stephanie, i think the attorney general has been reminding the american people about when he made that rather unprecedented press conference announcement, just the other day, following the execution of the search warrant at mar-a-lago. it is typically not the case that the department of reveals the affidavit that might support a search warrant. typically, it really contains the details of the prosecution s case and chief, if there s going to be an indictment, and crimes charged. so basically if you have the affidavit, you basically have a blueprint for what that case might look like. and you have a head start in formulating a defense. so, it makes sense that this would be kept under wraps, and it makes sense that merrick garland would not reveal it, not only because it would reveal the case in chief, it might also revealed the sources that provided the information that supported the government
opening those individuals up to reprisal. i think he s done what he can at this point, again, it s not typical for these kinds of information to be revealed at this point in the investigation. but it might also reveal a whole lot of bad information about donald trump. so, could this be a bit careful what you wish for? does he really want the affidavit unsealed? or is he just gonna move the goalposts again? it is peter? all right. i think he knows it s just, it doesn t want it unsealed. and therefore, by definition, it s sort of, you, know if free option for him to say, hey, let s go and on sale it, because he knows they re going to oppose it, right? and therefore, he looks like it s going to be transparent, when in fact, of course, as you say, there could be a lot of damaging information in there. look, my newspaper, the new york times, among the news organizations that has to try to get this information. we believe it s important for the public to know, base the bases on whi

win philbin and giuliani, it s been a great day for trump s lawyers. and i think tomorrow, in that hearing, with rudy giuliani, and then we think we re gonna be looking for as whether giuliani, who s already been identified as a target of the georgia prosecutors, will plead the fifth amendment over and over again, as he stands before that grand jury. so, i think, i m really looking to see if we find out anything from rudy giuliani. we are, probably my number one question, it is been a week since this search, trump has yet to explain why he had any of these documents that are not his. they belong to the u.s. government or what he planned to do with them? what s up with that? i think it s exactly right. his response has been to attack the fbi, to attack merrick garland, to attack joe biden. to say it s all about, you know, his enemies. it s a witch hunt. to say that he is entitled to declassify information. he hasn t told us exactly why did he need it or want it in the first place. w
