asked to turn those security cameras off when this search occurred and refused to do so. i want to read to you what one person close to former president trump told us when we asked do you think that this is a good idea? should he release these tapes? here is what that person said. quote, it s one thing to read a bunch of numbers on an inventory list, it s another to see law enforcement agents actually carrying a dozen plus boxes out of president trump s home knowing they probably contain sensitive documents. i don t see how that helps him. so, again, this has drawn mixed reactions inside the former president s orbit with some aides saying it s a good idea, release the footage, get it out there. among those steve bannon the former white house chief strategist to president trump. others saying we should hold back. maybe continue to tease this but don t ever actually release the footage, brianna. look, it depends on where you re looking at this from. for the people who think t
just in the nomination process, essentially they re to get all 50 senate democrats here. we re looking for them to start this whole process in a matter of hours. the big question mark is when exactly will they do that. we don t quite know. they re waiting on a couple of things. you mentioned the senate parliamentarian. they re using a specialized budget process to move forward. they only need democratic senate support to get it through the senate but in order to use that process they have to make sure, they have to go through the parlia parliamentarian to finish. so they re waiting on a few more rulings from her and also waiting from the congressional budget office on how much some of these provisions will cost and how they will affect the deficit. once they have all that have in place, senate democrats can feel comfortable with a motion to proceed, which is essentially the first vote to kick off what is a very long and tedious process to get this across the finish line. once
