had your red bull, your coffee, your coca-cola, because we could be getting his 40-page response from the doj any minute now. chuck, when we do, we know that they have already seized some of these documents from mar-a-lago, what do you think is going to be in this filing? a couple of things, stephanie. let me just take a step back, because i think keeping eyes on the prize is important here. the reason they executed the warrant to begin with, was to get evidence they could use in an investigation, and perhaps the trial if they charge anybody with a crime. and so, when way the other, the department of justice in the fbi, are eventually going to get that. either through their internal filter team, screening through privileged materials, or if the judge appointed special master. i imagine the doj will say, among other things, we ve already reviewed the material, it s not that difficult, we don t need to go through this extra step, and that extra step is only going to slow us down, it s
tonight s last word is electable, the title of ali vitali s book. 11th hour stephanie ruhle starts now. tonight, a midnight deadline for the doj to response to trump s apparent delay tactic, as trump goes on a ranch on social media. then, president biden out on the campaign trail, touting his administration s accomplishments on gun safety. one topic that didn t come up, the complicated economy. plus, my one-on-one interview with maryland s democratic nominee for governor, westmore, he shared thoughts and
