returning tonight to his golf club in bedminster, new jersey, where we should note that there was an audio recording of him talking about classified documents while he was there two years ago. tonight, holding a campaign fund-raiser and addressed his cheering supporters with a litany of lies. we begin the coverage with evan perez, senior justice correspondent. he s here with me in miami, and our correspondent kristen holmes, who s in bedminster covering the former president. tonight i want to start with, evan he was indicted when trump was arraigned today. what did you see, not just what happened in that courtroom, but also what we saw after, as he was making that stop at a mass restaurant near miami. it is quite the split screen of donald trump s day. inside of the courtroom, he was dejected. he was sitting there while he was waiting for the judge to appear. sitting there with his arms folded, twiddling his thumbs a
spoken to him. flattering, gracious, et cetera. i don t come from this background, as i ve said before. i represented a socialist candidate for president in 2020, and i represented the democratic party all of last year. i don t come to this conclusion easily, but i do think that there is a miss impression out there in the public about how he is behind the scenes. dave, it is not just about how he acts. understand in your experience with him and whatnot, but when you look at this indictment, he is accused of misleading one of his attorneys, evan corcoran, by having his co defendant in this case move boxes up to his residents, and then only move some of the boxes back down. he went to great lengths to mislead his own attorney who was turning over the certification to the fbi about one of the issues in this case is the evan corcoran notes. i think that there will be a notion to strike those because i think that judge turned him over in wholesale fashion without getting the chance fo
we ve read the media reports about how difficult things can be. it seems like some of them, it s a difficult case. the personalities involved. i think it s a mistake for the team to have tried to find this be all and all for purposes of the arraignment. the arraignment is a pro form of step in the case. they don t need it. i would personally put together the best team of lawyers possible, and then find a florida lawyer familiar with the demographics, going to help the jury selection, respected by the court if possible. and go from there. i would first want my best team of lawyers. they need a local council as a matter of law there. they had that with a person at the stature of the former solicitor general in mr. kise. jim, i want your perspective in a moment. david, first, isn t there something they need to move quickly on? of course, we don t get the answer today of when an export court appearance is going to be. obviously, since two of trump s other attorneys handling this case spe
documents were labeled five eyes. that s information that we share with a received from some of our closest allies and partners. the implications for our national security are not just to our own country. but it impacts the relationships and the information sharing that we may have with some of our closest, closest allies. yeah, and voters will ultimately decide. you come from the state of virginia, where, a lot of people in your states know all about how to handle classified documents. right. all the time and they would lose their jobs and go to jail if they engage in this sort of thing. congresswoman abigail spanberger, thank you for joining us. and coming up next, to arrest for donald trump in just a matter of weeks, and with more lawsuits and investigations still swirling, what are the potential legal troubles that he faces going forward? we will talk about all of that right after this. so you only pay for what you need. that s my boy. stay off the freeways! only
spin this into a win, as they usually do. and the message that we heard from him tonight in his speech was they re coming after me because i m fighting for you. so he is going to stick to that message and try to force his rivals to come out and defend him. but i think what is so funny about that is if you re a 2024 rival taking on donald trump, it s interesting that you aren t making the case, then, for why you re running if you re afraid to criticize him. and i think that they should be out there taking him head-on. it s very hard to understand. there are also a lot of pet theories about what kind of timing benefits and what kind of timing doesn t in terms of these cases moving forward. what s your cake, kristen, about how this plays into the republican primary. as we know, i was coming up in january. and he also has a court date for next march, i believe, in the middle of the primary season. well, whenever something like what we ve seen over the past
