i think it s the thought that counts. thank you very much, abby. great to see you, good evening everyone. i m alison camerota. welcome to cnn tonight. new legal trouble for donald trump, e. jean carroll seeking more damage is in the form of more money, above and beyond the first $5 million. because of what donald trump said in the cnn tell-all. and then there s the case of all the classified documents found at mar-a-lago. apparently donald trump s attorney took highly detailed notes about them. notes that are now in the hands of the special counsel. our panel dives into what those reveal. plus, senator tim scott wants to be president. will he break what donald trump? or will trump tried to make scott s running mate? and this image exploded on twitter this morning. it sent shock waves through the stock market. but it s fake. there was no explosion near the pentagon. the real world danger of artificial intelligence is not just a worry, it s already here. let s begin with new
ended up in the hands of special counsel week. these are interesting because there are notes taken by trump attorney evan corporate, another critical point in donald trump has received this subpoena in may of 2022. the government is saying you have to give us back any documents saka classified markings. sources are telling us that donald trump goes to his attorney general and says, is there any way we can push back on this? essentially, what kind of recourse do we have here. and this is memorialized in his notes that we took at the time. people can look at this and say, look, this is the former president speaking to his attorney. trying to figure out what his options are and moving forward. but obviously, we ve seen donald trump offer a number of shifting explanations for why he kept and retain these documents for so long. he said in that cnn town hall that you have the absolute right to keep them. and prosecutors are looking for potential obstruction case, and because of, this the
investigators say there s no indication that smith s death was caused by a hit and run as it was originally reported by a medical examiner. his family has raised concerns he may have been targeted because he was gay. back in june. 2021 sled reinvestigated the case for two weeks or i should say, two weeks after the murders of maggie and paul murdoch, based on information gathered during that investigation, they never revealed exactly what that information was. but it s important to note just this week , an attorney for smith s mom said, quote. this is not an alec murdoch two point oh, or any murdoch two point? oh, this is the steven smith two point. oh it s all about stephen just before airtime. i spoke with stephen smith s mom, sandy, and that attorney eric bland. sandy, i appreciate you joining us. you have been fighting for nearly eight years now, too. to get justice for your son. how do you feel now that the investigation has been is being looked at as a homicide now, finally. i m j
