it s something i ve been saying for a long time now. that place is completely open. it s directly above the catering hall. it s not just guests. it s not just members. it s anybody that is there hypothetically for a wedding or a christening, bar mitzvah, any event they have. all that separated these individuals from top secret classified documents, ten stairs and one little master lock key. one of trump s attorneys, i read one of her quotes there, raised eyebrows for mcomments talking about what charges donald trump could face. let me play some of this sound and get your thoughts on the other side. they found these three mundane statues. i do have firsthand knowledge. i have been down there. i m down there frequently. anybody that knows president
attacking the capitol. all of these things matter. all of these things have been extreme views. house republican leader kevin mccarthy just spoke a few minutes ago in the president s hometown. no coincidence there. in scranton. arguing the president is trying to distract americans. he called on the president to apologize tonight for saying, as you know, a few days ago that the maga movement is like semi-fascism. he said that at that private donor event. listen to what mccarthy is asking for. when the president speaks tonight at independence hall, the first lines out of his mouth should be to apologize for slandering tens of millions of americans as fascists. will the president apologize?
they are under assault. he is going to call on where it s coming from. he is going to lay out how those assaults have been and what they are. here is the last part i will say, is that the president is an optimism. he believes in this country. he believes in the american people. he believes on our foundational rights, our freedoms. he is going to do everything that he can to fight for those rights, to fight for those freedoms, equality. from our reporting, the president has been working on this for months. it comes from a deeply personal place. i m interested in what specifically he is seeing on those fronts that he is even more concerned about now than ever before. why he is giving this speech in this moment. to your point, as you just said, this is a speech he has been thinking about for some time and has been wanting to really speak to the american people, which is why we chose to
we don t want you to do that, but please order us to get this done within really by the end of september. i think the counter argument from trump s people is, it s worth it. it s worth it if there s more bureaucracy. there s delay because we re trying to protect a person s interests and rights. we want the american public to be assured that his rights rr f were fully projected. that s the competing arguments we heard today. the judge is going to let either way the intelligence community keep going through these materials. however, she did indicate that she may temporarily block the justice department from accessing those materials in its criminal probe while the special master, if they get one, does their job. what do you make of that? it s really perplexing. it s so hard to even see how this could be wrapped up in executive privilege, which he suggested that would be the scope of the review. therefore, deny executive materials to the exertive branch. that s not how executive
the one thing that does jump out about the newt gingrich letter is kushner, the letter says, coordinate with kushner to put outpropaganda. jared kushner has kept himself distanced from this. this is the first indication i have seen that perhaps if the committee is correct that he was involved at least in the disinformation campaign that preceded the attack on the cap capitol. thank you on both those fronts. next, donlald trump s forme attorney michael cohen is here. does he think trump s lawyers could take the fall for classified documents that remained at mar-a-lago? live pictures out of philadelphia tonight where president biden is about to address the nation. his warning about the threat to american democracy. tonight, raising the issue, trump raising the issue of pardoning, full pardons for some of the january 6 rioters. listen. if i decide to run and if i
