hey, hey, everybody. it s 10:00 a.m. in the east. i m yasmin vossoughian in for ana cabrera. the battle for the white house will welcome a long-awaited newcomer today, ron desantis, after months of speculation and campaign style events, the florida governor will make it official tonight on twitter with none other than elon musk. will the unusual rollout help or hurt the soon to be candidate? do i have the courage? is it worth the sacrifice? america has been worth it every single time. and then what about the other elephant in the room, donald trump, the former president already telling desantis to get a, quote, personality trait as he puts it. plus, south carolina, set to become the latest state to ban abortion after six weeks making it virtually impossible to get an abortion across a huge portion of the south. and later on, new details on the 19-year-old who drove a u-haul truck into a white house barrier. more on his interviews with police as he s set to make a court
initial recovery on mar-a-lago said that archives officials believed that more records were missing and were skeptical that trump had handed over everything. as the investigation gained steam, some trump advisors have sought to steer away from the issue according to people who were speaking under anonymity. now you have to fast forward to june 3rd, bob, the trump attorney says the trump s team met with a doj official after they cooperated with presidential records in a storage wear and handed over, quote, a few pages to the doj. multiple sources have confirmed to nbc news that monday s unprecedented search was related, classified material that trump brought with limb to florida after he left the white house. two sources say the search went from 9:00 a.m. to half past 6:00 and that the fbi took about a dozen, a dozen more boxes with emthis. a lot of boxes. think, as much as we ve learned there are still major questions outstanding, for instance, what exactly what was the fbi l
