smoke because of canadian wildfires. 75 million americans under air quality alert. when will the smoke clear? plus amanda gorman has her book pulled from a miami area grade school because one parent complained. turns out the parent never actually read the book. we begin with the growing legal jeopardy that former president trump faces in the federal documents investigation. a letter from the justice department to the former president s attorneys saying he is a target in a federal investigation. it s often but not always a strong sign that the person in question will be indicted. it is hard to overstate the unprecedented nature of this latest development. kaitlan collins joins us now with what we know. what is the latest on this letter and what is the trump team reaction? we haven t gotten a formal reaction from the trump legal team so far. we do know that justice department prosecutors did inform the former president s legal team that he is a target in that federal inve
people were genuinely freaked out inside the west wing. people who are now downplaying the hearings, they were freaked out that day because of what the committee laid out last night. nothing that he saw changed trump s perspective of what happened. they were shocked when they heard that, shocked it exists, that the recordings of it existed, and it was just some of the compelling testimony we heard last night. and in some cases laid out some new details. also words from the former president himself, including he said, mike pence let me down. those were the last five words that an aide heard trump say that day, before he left the west wing to go to the residence for the night. nothing about the attack, according to the committee, just his grievances with mike pence. here is a review of some of the hearing s most notable moments. the president wanted to lead 10,000 people to the capitol. i think that was enough grounds for us to are you aware of any phone call by the p

[laughs] so, i remember of it i was a student at the time. and watching it from that distance of a student, where i thought, i know everything. it never felt, it was no horse race component to it. i do not remember any discussion of what s gonna happen, because of these hearings. all i remember was the excitement of what are we going to learn tomorrow. what are we gonna learn, if you watch this thing today? what s gonna
Laura good evening come i am Laura Ingraham and this is the Ingraham Angle from washington tonight. The great deflection. That is the focus of tonights angle. Now the globalist insisted that if the house didnt relent and push for the 60 billion for that losing the war effort in ukraine, america would lose credibility because Vladimir Putin would rush Totute Berlin and trying to embolden to move on taiwan. Weakness is what the world would see. But now that Speaker Mike Johnson has madee jozelenskyy, northam come run happy for it by getting money to your crane, we have the respect that as a country, right . Oh course not rse if you care about the way america is perceived around thee world, you should be enraged that donald trump is on trial in new york. These are the types of electionyear shenanigans that happen in other countries in third world the talker sees, not in the United States, come on by his press minions areon ecstatic.

it s also the suggestion it s not just the people around that person. it s that person themselves. it s not a requirement that the justice department charge that person with a crime. but it would be unlikely for it not to happen within a relatively short time thereafter. based on what we know publicly, if an indictment is handed up to the former president if what are the likely charges. obstruction of justice is likely. we know that at least the reporting suggests that the target letter was related to the documents probe, not the january 6 probe. at least that s my understanding. number one will be obstruction of justice. number two, possible destruction of documents or removal or retention of documents. each of those things could potentially be a separate crime. or the mishandling of defense information as well, but that s another crime as well. it s a number of different crimes that could be at play here, not all tied to whether they were classified documents, just merely t
